Receive Your Full Retirement Benefits

Spring Cleaning and Earning The JBF sale, April 11-14 in Owasso, offers parents a chance to clean out their homes and earn money by consigning gently-used items.

Linda Rainwater, Financial Advisor for Edward Jones, will host free seminars on Social Security, Medicare, and Real Estate Taxes.

By Susan Erler Are you overwhelmed with the clutter of toys, outgrown sports equipment, old movies, and piles of your children’s clothing that don’t fit any longer? Wouldn’t you like to not only clear your home of these items, but get paid for them as well? Now is the time to look into a clothing and consignment event coming to Owasso. Just Between Friends is the perfect venue to sell your unwanted items utilizing a proven system that makes it fast, easy and fun. And don’t forget profitable! Just Between Friends makes it easy to rid your home of all kinds of items and unlike a garage sale, they do all the advertising. In fact, Amber Post, local organizer for the JBF Owasso sale, says that they usually have over 450 consignors offering around 75,000 items for purchase. A sale that big brings crowds equally as large! (continued on page 22)

I can also help with your retirement savings strategy so you have more options when you retire, regardless of what you decide to do,” she explains. Linda offers free monthly seminars explaining the many facets of Social Security. As you approach retirement, it is more important than ever to understand the role that Social Security benefits can and should play in your overall retirement plan. The free

Customer Karen Ames said, “Michael at SoonerLawn has been taking care of all the common ground at The Reserve at Broken Arrow for the past year. I have lived here for the

past six years and am the landscaping chairman. The Reserve looks better than it has ever looked in the past thanks to Michael and the Sooner crew. They are very professional and take great pride in their work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lawn care company.” On a similar note, Steve Brown of Steve Brown Properties L.L.C. said, “Michael has been spraying and taking care of our lawn needs for about

five years. He has done the spraying for several of our developments: Trinity Creek II, Cypress Creek and the Ridge at South County. Michael has also been spraying and taking care of our lawns for our rental companies for five years: Steve Brown Properties, Wellington Investments and Villa Properties. We have found his work to be very good, as well as his pricing. We would highly recommend his services.” (continued on page 22)

After a lifetime of hard work, people feel they should be able to live out their golden years with financial independence. Unfortunately for many, failing to plan means planning to fail. When folks come in to visit with us for the first time, we have them bring a lot of financial information with them. I am looking for what their expenses are, what their debt is, how much they have saved in non-retirement accounts, as well as IRA’s and 401k’s. I want to know about company pensions, their goals for retirement, and expectations about when that will be. My job and my passion is to help them set realistic goals and get on track.

Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail

What I am finding is that expectations have risen over the years. Instead of having goals of doing a little traveling, playing with the grandkids, and winning a mean game of dominoes, folks are expecting to maintain their same standard of living and spend as much money as they did during their working years. That is a great goal! However, the planning for that goal should start decades before it needs to come to pass. Folks that start planning too late are likely to face the harsh reality of that dream not coming true. The biggest retirement mistakes I see are: Starting too late and planning too little. The proverbial too little too late definitely applies to the absolute biggest mistake I see in planning for retirement -

The effects of the loss of this benefit will be stunning. You must save and plan for your own retirement. 3 The age for collecting full Social Security benefits is increasing. For folks born in 1960 and later, the age for receiving full Social Security benefits is increasing from 65 to 67. 4 Congress cited improvements in the health of older people and increasing life expectancy as the primary reason for increasing the normal retirement age.

dwindling saving patterns. More and more, I see folks that have little or nothing put back for retirement. In addition to the turbulent economy, saving for retirement has been further upset by other concerns such as job uncertainty, making ends meet, and making payments for mortgages, debts, health insurance and medical expenses. That being said, I also see an awful lot of just “spending as much as there is until the next paycheck”. 1According to a study done by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) the retirement income deficit (ie: the difference between what people have saved for retirement and what they should have at this point) is $6.6 trillion. Good Grief! Pensions are going away. For many working folks, they saw their parents retire on social security and a pension. 2 Today only one in five people in the workforce has a defined benefit pension.

The Social Security statements that I have begun to see in my office recently incorporates the addition of the age 70 benefit estimate for delayed retirement credits. Every time I see it, I think . . this is the writing on the wall. Folks, listen. You must save for your own retirement. I cannot state this enough. At the end of the day, you are responsible for how you will live in your retirement years. We are here for you. If you need help trying to plan for your retirement, give us a call.

Happy Pets While You’re Away Anytime Pet Sitters offers personal care services for any type of animal companion while you’re on vacation or working late.

By Sheryl Sowell “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” Anyone with a pet can relate to this quote – our dogs, cats, horses, reptiles and birds are an important part of our lives and are usually

considered family. Jennifer Schneider, owner of Anytime Pet Sitters, understands how strongly people feel about their pets; that’s why she is available to provide the highest quality care for them while you’re on

vacation, when you have a long day at the office and can’t make it home until late, or any other time. Anytime Pet Sitters is a fulltime pet sitting and home care service company that is bonded

Jennifer Schneider with her dogs, Jiggy and Kita.

and insured for your protection and peace of mind. Jennifer is committed to treating your pets like members of the family. “As a pet owner, I understand how hard it is to leave your companions behind and know that is why you want the absolute best for them while you are away,” she says. “I care for all types of pets – dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, horses, farm animals, exotics, pocket pets, fish, reptiles, birds and special-needs pets.” Jennifer grew up in a family of animal lovers. “Pets of all shapes and sizes have been around me all my life. My family has owned almost every kind of pet imaginable, large or small, and I spent many days of my childhood inside our familyowned pet store. Animals have, and always will, hold a special place in my heart.” Jennifer spent eight years as a certified veterinary assistant and veterinary technician before launching her business in 2009. The benefits of leaving pets at home while you’re away are numerous. They are happier and experience less stress, diet and exercise routines are uninterrupted, and a pet’s exposure to illness is minimized. When Jennifer visits your home to care for your pet, she will always include play time and plenty of love and attention, feeding according to your schedule, putting out fresh water, scooping cat litter and picking up in the yard, cleaning accidents or messes, and administering medications. In addition, she offers dog walking, pet taxi services, and

home care services such as mail and newspaper pickup, taking trash to the curb, and watering plants. As a client of Anytime Pet Sitters, you can relax knowing that your animal companions and your home are being well cared for in your absence. One special service that clients love is that they can check in on their pets every day. “Our website has a members-only area where I post stories and pictures each day about your pets, how they’re doing and what we did, and any interesting or funny things that may have happened,” says Jennifer. “As long as clients have Internet access, they can check on their pets daily from wherever they are. Everyone really enjoys this – it’s comforting to know and see for yourself that your pets are happy.” Enlisting Jennifer’s help eliminates scheduling drop-off and pick-up times to and from the kennel, and you don’t have to impose on a friend, neighbor or relative. “I make it as convenient as possible and can customize services to your needs. Whether going on vacation or planning a late dinner, my clients can give me a quick call or text any time.” You can read testimonials of Jennifer’s many happy clients at www.anytimepetsitters.net.

LLegacy of Healing The Herbal Lady in Owasso honors the late Dr. Wanda Harris by carrying on her life’s work of healing patients through natural herbal remedies. By Susan Erler Many know by now that Dr. Wanda Harris, beloved friend, physician and healer, recently passed away. Known by most as “The Herbal Lady,” Dr. Harris was devoted to her craft and was extremely proud to have earned her distinction as a certified herbalist and natural consultant, certified iridologist, and

reflexologist, just to name a few of her accomplishments. Dr. Wanda was known for her intense caring and compassion for all who crossed her path, and she took great pride in helping heal many patients. Barbara Benson and many others witnessed this love for all human beings firsthand.

She worked with Dr. Wanda for 17 years and has spent the past few alongside her in the Owasso office. Barbara, who received her training through Trinity College and was mentored by Dr. Wanda, summed up the feelings that many have expressed: “She was loved by so many people. I think the toughest part for

Barbara Benson of The Herbal Lady.

everyone to understand is how someone who took such great care of herself and always utilized natural healing products could have succumbed to death so young,” explains Barbara. “I remind them that Dr. Wanda was human, and sometimes things happen.” Since the loss of her friend and mentor, Barbara has devoted herself to caring for Wanda’s patients. Barbara is committed to exceeding the expectations of those who walk through her door. “I want them to know that they can still receive the same quality of care they had been receiving before. I offer the same services and testing, and because I was already a part of her team, my knowledge of our patients’ medical histories is firsthand.” The biggest challenge Barbara and other staff members in the Owasso office have faced so far has been getting the word out that the office is still open. Since “The Herbal Lady” was synonymous with Dr. Wanda, many thought that without her, the practice would have to shut down. But Barbara says that the doctor made sure that even in her absence, her legacy of healing would continue on.

“Many don’t know that her Owasso location was simply her ‘home base,” explains Barbara. “She taught her craft to hundreds of others. Her legacy is that she spent much of her time educating, empowering and teaching her healing knowledge. She wanted people to know that the human body is amazing and is fully capable of healing itself. Sometimes it just needs to be put back into balance, and natural herbal remedies can do that.” The Herbal Lady is located at 9220 N. Garnett Rd., Ste. E in Owasso. Please note that the office hours have changed slightly. They are open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and are closed Tuesday and Sunday. To schedule an appointment, call (918) 274-4114.

Assistance for Seniors and Their Families Assisted Transition provides free senior living and referral services for the greater Tulsa area.

By Sheryl Sowell When the time comes to transition an elderly loved one out of their home and into an assisted living facility, nursing home or similar type of community, numerous questions arise. What are the differences between the various facilities? What can we afford? Will my loved one be

happy in their new home? Assisted Transition is available to answer these questions and more, offering free senior living placement and referral services for the greater Tulsa area. The reasons for needing to transition an elder into a different living situation are vast and

Michelle Brown and Mark Smith, owners of Assisted Transition.

may include declining physical or mental health, lack of support system available in case of emergency, or inability to take care of home maintenance needs. “Many people realize, ‘This is what we need to do,’ but they’re unsure exactly how to go about it,” says Michelle Brown, co-owner of Assisted Transition with Mark Smith. “Our services are geared toward families that have planned ahead and are prepared for the change, but need help in finding the right home for their family member.” Assisted Transition assists families in finding the right assisted living community, independent living community, residential care home, nursing home, home care provider, or memory support/Alzheimer’s community. They also help find respite short-term stay and hospice care. “We are here to help you understand all of your options,” explains Michelle, a registered nurse with a specialty in home health. “The terminology can be very confusing. We will explain the differences and help determine the right living situation for your loved one.” Michelle and Mark say that

www.ValueNews.com many older people have negative associations with moving out of their home, as it can make them feel as if they’re no longer useful or worthwhile citizens. “However, most people find that giving up the obligations of home maintenance allows them to focus on other aspects of their lives,” says Mark. “Independent living, for example, offers tremendous benefits emotionally, physically and psychologically, providing seniors the luxury they deserve in this state of their life. These communities consist of individual apartments in a facility that provides meals, interaction with their peers and pleasurable activities. When an elderly person lives alone and does not experience this socialization, depression can seep in, which can cause them to mimic the signs of early dementia.” Assisted living is another option that may be right for your situation. These facilities include help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and medication management. All services at Assisted Transition are provided at no cost. A meeting is scheduled between Michelle or Mark and the senior and their family, either at the Assisted Transition office or the person’s home. “We assess their situation and match their needs and wants with what is available in the community,” says Michelle. “Factors may include price, geographic location, services available, environment of the facility, and much more. As a registered nurse for 28 years, I am also able

to read between the lines and provide insight into the senior’s needs that the family may not be aware of.” After the initial meeting, Mark or Michelle will narrow down the choices available and tour and evaluate the facilities. Upon determining the best options, they will personally drive the senior and family to the best matched locations for a guided tour. Once a selection has been made and the person moved to the right facility, they follow up to ensure that all expectations have been met. As a certified senior advisor, Mark is able to offer advice on the variety of financial, health and social issues seniors face. He also works with the VA to assist veterans in making sure they receive their full benefits. This service is especially close to Mark’s heart, as he is a veteran of the Aviation Branch of the United States Army. Michelle and Mark truly care about seniors in our community and want to provide families the assistance they need to make the transition as comfortable as possible. “This is a difficult and confusing time, and our goal is to make this change easier and less stressful for everyone involved, with personalized, compassionate, selfless service,” says Michelle.

Two Knee Replacements, One Surgeon Leroy Moore of Tulsa recommends Dr. LaButti after his two successful knee replacements.

By Joshua Danker-Dake got engaged in 2010 and were married in 2011, at the age of 80. While we were engaged, I decided to have my right knee replaced because I was having trouble walking. Dr. LaButti had visited Town Village and was helping with the exercise program there, so I went to see him.” Dr. LaButti performed the operation in January of 2011. “When Dr. LaButti examined me for the first surgery, he said that since my legs were bowed, the right leg would be just a little longer than the other leg after the operation because it would be straight, which would make the wear on the left knee more severe,” Leroy says. “And he was correct – it wore down in one year.” Dr. LaButti replaced Leroy’s left knee in January 2013. “My legs had been bowed and my cartilage was gone – I was boneon-bone and had side wear in the left knee, so I decided to have it done, and it went extremely well,” Leroy says. “I went from the walker to a cane in a week, and in five-and-a-half weeks I had given up the cane. I had in-house therapy three days a

Leroy Moore, of Tulsa, had both knees replaced with Dr. Ronald LaButti. “I had cartilage removed from my left knee in 1969 and had the same operation on the right knee in 1983,” Leroy says. “By the mid1990s, I was having pain in both knees, but I kept putting surgery off, mainly because I was living alone and would have no one to help me get around afterward.” Leroy spent 32 years as an industrial engineer for Western Electric Manufacturing (which later became AT&T Manufacturing), working in Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Burlington, North Carolina. Leroy’s hobbies included golf, fishing and photography, and so when he retired there in 1991, he worked as a golf course starter and in the pro shop. In 2002, he moved back to Oklahoma City to be near family. In 2009, Leroy moved to Town Village Retirement Community in Tulsa. “I lived by myself for 25 years after I lost my wife,” Leroy says. “I came to Tulsa to be near my daughter. I met a lovely lady, Enyd, and we

week for six weeks, which as a big help on my road to recovery, and I never had to take any pain pills for either operation. I’m walking without a limp, and the therapist said I was about four weeks ahead of schedule in my recovery.” All things considered, Leroy’s experience with Dr. LaButti was extremely positive, he says. “I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. LaButti. If I were ever to need to have my hips done, I would go back to him. And he does his surgery at Oklahoma Surgical Hospital, which is a wonderful hospital – the staff was wonderful each time I stayed there.” For more information on Dr. LaButti or knee or hip replacement surgery, visit www.hipandkneedoc.com.

Ultherapy uses ultrasound to lift, tone and tighten the skin. It is FDA approved for the face, neck and brow. Ultherapy targets the deep foundation below the skin-typically addressed in cosmetic surgery - without cutting or disrupting the skin’s surface. Ultherapy stimulates the body’s own natural collagen building process. With just one treatment, Ultherapy initiates the lifting process which builds gradually over two to three months and continues to improve over time. Ultherapy is a compelling option for people with mild to moderate skin laxity as well as those wanting to “stay ahead of the game” or those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery. Love the skin you’re in and call us today for a complimentary consultation.

W Walk MS Tulsa

The National MS Society Oklahoma celebrates its 26th annual Walk MS Tulsa on Saturday, April 13.

By Duane Blankenship Be inspired. Get connected. Walk MS. “Money we raise at the annual Walk MS Tulsa fundraising event supports research as we move closer to our ultimate goal of a world free of MS,” said Brandi Moore, National MS Society Oklahoma regional manager. For the 26th year, Tulsa area residents will make a positive impact in the lives of those affected by MS. You are invited to be a part of the celebration by making a donation, sponsoring a team, supporting an existing team, or being a fund raiser and participating in the Walk MS Tulsa at Veterans Park at 18th and Boulder on Saturday, April 13. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m., with walkers heading out on a three-mile River Trails course at 9. Register the morning of the event or go online to preregister. Walk MS participants are asked to raise $100 each. “All fundraising is due by May 13,” said Walk MS Tulsa Manager Rachel Klenda. Each walker raising $100 earns a commemorative T-shirt. The top 50 fundraising teams, know as Mission Movers, from

Brandi Moore (National MS Society Oklahoma regional manager), Christie Tull (Walk MS Tulsa chairperson), and Rachel Klenda (Walk MS Tulsa manager) look forward to the walk and accompanying festivities.

the previous year’s event are provided a large tent where team members may meet before and after the walk. Walk MS is a great social opportunity and a special time to connect with others who have a heart for eliminating MS and aiding individuals and families affected by the disease. Even if you can’t actively participate this year, you and your family are invited to visit Veterans Park and witness the happenings. Beginning around 10 a.m., activities will focus around the MS photo booth and the MS expo, a large tent for those with MS and their families. Local vendors will be on hand who specialize in products and services available to those impacted by MS. The expo is an opportunity for you to learn more about this debilitating disease. Clowns, bounce houses and more will keep the children entertained. Panera Bread, QuikTrip and Starbucks are donating pastries and beverages for all Walk MS Tulsa participants, and the walkers’ lunch is being donated by Bar-S Foods and Sam’s Club. Music will be provided by a local band. Christie Tull is the 2013 Walk MS Tulsa chairperson. Christie’s mother suffered for 18 years before finally being diagnosed with MS. She was forced to retire at about age 50 and ultimately lost her life to MS at age 59. “None of the medications available at the time helped my mom. Fortunately, many more treatment options are

Page 17

available today,” said Christie. Christie’s older sister, Valerie, woke up one morning when she was only 28 years old, called Christie and told her that she was totally numb on one side of her body and that she couldn’t hold a pencil. “I have MS,” she said. Valerie’s self-diagnosis was immediately confirmed. Although she had enjoyed playing soccer for many years, she was forced to retire. Valerie did regain feeling in her affected side and her MS was in remission for about five years, allowing her to return to playing soccer. She did have another flare-up, but is now in remission. Christie and Valerie got involved with Walk MS in 2000 and have since been active supporters. Along with being the 2013 chairperson, Christie also sponsors a team called The Kickers. When asked what MS meant to Christie, she responded, “MS means my sister!” The National MS Society is committed to finding new treatments for all people with multiple sclerosis and to help ensure financial support for those having to deal with the havoc it causes. Walk MS events throughout our state have a goal to raise $400,000 this year.

M Make Your Memories Into Art The Scrapbook Store has everything you need to preserve your memories in a beautiful, one-of-a-kind scrapbook. By Susan Erler Life moves along at a dizzying pace. Major events happen to all of us and if we don’t take the time to document them, it is easy to forget all the important details. One way to fix this problem is by scrapbooking. Scrapbooking has come a

long way from glue sticks and construction paper. These days, scrapbooks are so intricate and ornate, they are actual pieces of art. Pages can be adorned with everything from ribbons and rhinestones to photos, beads and glitter. The only rule when it

comes to “scrapping” is, there are no rules. You can be as imaginative as you want. Each project is as unique as the individual putting it all together. Scrapbooking is a terrific hobby too. Anyone and everyone can make a lasting memory; no

Scrapbook Store employee Amie Stokes.

artistic talent is necessary. “One of the best methods for coming up with new ideas is to attend a crop party,” explains Jerri Ann Curry, owner of The Scrapbook Store, located at 8751 N. 117th E. Ave. in Owasso. “Crop nights are scheduled for the convenience of those who wish to get away and get scrapping, and it’s a fun way to get together with friends and share creative ideas.” Crop parties normally occur on Friday nights and Saturdays. Just call The Scrapbook Store for times and availability. Crop nights are the perfect way to set aside a few hours to work on your layouts, cards and photos.

The Face of Climate Change BY SHIRLEY HALL

The global theme for Earth Day 2013 is “The Face of Climate Change”. Celebrations are planned worldwide; however on March 22, 2013, thirty-one countries celebrated World Water Day. These celebrations highlighted caring for water and the importance of healthy hydration. Are these two days so different? We’ve heard the stories of tsunami debris washing ashore along our Western coastline; yet little is said about how this debris affects our drinking water. In March of this year headlines across the internet read: “Japanese Tsunami Debris STILL Washing Up …as Dead Fish and Birds are Found with Stomachs full of Plastic”. Tsunami debris is washing ashore all along our western coastline. You know the science of what wind and rain can carry. How are you protecting yourself and those you care about most? Perhaps like many Americans you’ve turned to bottled water. It’s healthier, cheaper, safer, and tastes better, right? Wrong! Unregulated bottled water is often of lower quality, is 2,000 times more expensive than tap water and – unknown

to most; one third of bottled water is actually filtered tap water. Corporate marketing schemes have led us to believe bottled water is clean and healthy while city tap water is bad and dangerous. In 2006, Fiji Water ran ads bragging their product doesn’t come from Cleveland; only to have tests show a glass of Fiji water was lower in quality than Cleveland tap water, OOPS! Then there’s all that plastic. Trends toward REUSABLE bottles have gained significant momentum. Surprised? Despite this trend, 80% of bottles end up in landfills or incinerators. Oil and energy needed to fuel a million cars is used to manufacture water bottles each year - is this environmentally friendly?

Corporate Accountability International reported it costs cities more than $70 million to landfill water bottles each year. Yet Americans consume half a billion bottles every week. Bottled water is a $5 billion dollar a year industry in the US alone. On World Water Day we were asked to pause and consider the insanity of a global economy where a billion people lack access to safe drinking water while other people spend billions on a bottled product that's no cleaner, harms people and the environment and costs up to 2,000 times the price of tap water. Anne Leonard’s film, “The Story of Water” asks us to “pledge to avoid buying and drinking bottled water unless it is unhealthy to drink local water where you live– you can buy a water filter and donate the money you save to help developing countries improve their infrastructure and convince local politicians to invest in our public water system, so we can get safe, healthy water right from the tap.” We strongly agree !

Spring Cleaning and Earning “The sale will be held in the empty storefront directly north of the Reasor’s on Highway 20,” explains Amber. “That location has been great for us in the past, offering plenty of parking and ample space to display all your items.” This is their spring/summer sale, and here is a list of acceptable items: toys, sports equipment, children’s and parenting books, games, movies and DVDs (no MA or R ratings), kid and baby bedding, baby equipment including strollers, car seats and bouncy seats, kids’ furniture and room décor, maternity clothing, and much more. For a full list of items accepted, check out the website at www.owasso.jbfsale.com. Consignors earn 60 percent on all sold items, minus a $12.50 consignor fee. But Amber offers several ways to make that percentage even higher. If you volunteer just four hours helping set up the sale, you will earn 70 percent on your items, and JBF crew members pocket a whopping 75 percent. If you have any high ticket items you need to find a new

home for, such as a furniture set or a high dollar stroller, you can earn 80 percent on any item that sells for $250 or more. It just doesn’t get any easier than that. For anyone who has ever had a garage sale, they will tell you that the toughest part of getting ready is tagging all your items. Just Between Friends has even taken the hassle out of that part of selling. When you register online, you will be assigned a consignor number and your very own barcode. Just follow the easy instructions, print off your tags with your personal barcode and you are set. “I hear from consignors all the time who tell me that they love the ease of the barcode system,” states Amber. “And they can log on to the website each night of the sale to find out exactly how much money they have earned that day.” For those who are so busy that tagging their own items is just impossible, Amber has a solution for you too. Just drop off your items by scheduling a pre-set time and you can earn money without spending time. You’ll still earn 45 to 50

percent of your sales with almost no work. What a great way to de-clutter and put a few extra dollars in your wallet. Wouldn’t it be great to be a VIP and have access to the sale before the general public? Well, you can! Volunteers who help at the sale for at least four hours not only receive a higher percentage of their sales, they also get the opportunity to shop the sale first. Consignors get to shop after the volunteers but also before the public, which makes becoming one an even better deal. Hours for the spring/summer sale are: Thursday, April 11 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ($2 admission for 18 and older); Friday, April 12 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (with free admission); Saturday, April 13 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (with free admission and many items discounted 25 percent); and Sunday, April 14 from noon to 6 p.m. (with free admission and many items discounted 50 percent). When the sale is over, consignors have two easy options. They can pick up their unsold items Monday, April 15 from

SStaying Home on Weekends Is Nutty Bring the family out to the Route 66 Nut House Trader Days April 19-21.

By Susan Erler You’ve been there before: it’s Saturday morning and the kids are anxious to get out and do something fun, but you have no idea where you can take them. And in this economy, cost is always a concern. Hazel Ward,

owner of The Nut House in Claremore, has the perfect solution to your weekend blues, at least one weekend a month, anyway! Hazel has long had a vision of creating a recurring family fun

Tara, Adam and Hazel of The Nut House.

event at her place of business, combining arts and crafts with antiques while offering all of the tasty and unique products The Nut House is known for. “I am really excited to create a monthly weekend outing that offers fun activities for the kids, amazing shopping opportunities for the wives, and mouthwatering food sure to keep the husbands happy,” she says. The inaugural Route 66 Nut House Trader Days event is planned for April 19, 20 and 21 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. Hazel is still looking for local crafters or vendors who would like to participate. If you are a crafter, please contact Hazel at (918) 266-1604 or email her at 66nuts@gmail.com. Booth spaces are available at a nominal fee and you can choose from either indoor or outdoor locations. Hot Mama’s Deli inside The Nut House will be open and ready to serve all kinds of delectable sandwiches, mouthwatering fudge, hot coffee and delicious sweets. “No one should leave here hungry,” laughs Hazel. The Nut House has been a Route 66 tradition since opening its doors in 1979. Back then, the business was very different.

When Hazel’s husband surprised her by purchasing The Nut House in 2006, she decided it needed a few changes. The biggest change was that they went from being open only a few months a year during pecan season to year-round. Hazel saw a need for customers to be able to get their products any time. “One of the biggest misconceptions people have about us is that we are only open at limited times and that fresh pecans are only available in the fall,” explains Hazel. “So many people simply purchase their pecans in the grocery store the rest of the year, but there is no way to know if they have been handled properly. We are experts when it comes to pecans, and we take measures to ensure the highest quality and freshness year-round. You never need to settle for low quality.” Don’t let the name fool you, though – The Nut House offers much more. They are constantly searching for new items to offer their customers and focus on finding quality items that you would not typically find in a grocery or discount store. Hazel makes sure they sell only topshelf products, including Boar’s

Head meats in the deli. “Boar’s Head is top of the line for deli meats, so we are proud to serve their products,” she says. “We also sell many of the local Amish food products including Amish cheeses, which are always extremely popular. I like knowing that my customers are getting the highest quality product I can find, but also at a reasonable price.” Gourmet coffees, homemade cookies and bars, handmade fudge in so many flavors it’s nearly impossible to choose, and many other sweets are all lovingly created and served at The Nut House. Make plans to enjoy lunch or at least a snack while you are there. You won’t be disappointed.

TThe 411 on IRAS It’s never too early to start saving for retirement. By Jocelyn Wood For anyone who hasn’t figured out what to do with your tax refund, one option might be to make a contribution to your retirement account. With a decline in employee-sponsored

pension plans and social security hanging in the air, many Americans must rely on their own savings to provide for their financial needs in retirement. There are alternatives to securing

RCB Bank employees Kim James and Ashley Wood (front row) and Jocelyn Wood, Kyle Head and Tiffany Gragg (back row).

your financial future. There are two types of Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), one that offers tax advantages now and one that offers tax advantages later. When deciding which IRA is best for you, Jenni Pilgrim, RCB Bank VP Corporate Retail Coordinator, recommends speaking to a tax advisor to see which plan benefits your tax situation. Let’s look at the two types of IRAs: Traditional and Roth. A Traditional IRA gives tax advantages for saving for retirement. You may be able to take a full or partial tax deduction for the amount contributed to your plan. “The main benefit of a Traditional IRA is that it lowers taxable income,” says Pilgrim. In short: Contributions are tax deductible (eligibility requirements apply); interest grows tax-deferred until it is taken out; contributions cannot be made after age 70 ½ when required minimum distributions begin; taxes are paid on the interest earned in the account at the time of distribution (when the money is taken out). Money put into a Roth IRA

is taxed before it is deposited into the account and any interest earned is tax-free when it is taken out, as long as you meet the plan requirements. “Another great benefit is that when you turn 70 ½ you are not required to take money out of the account, as you are with a Traditional IRA,” said Pilgrim. The basics of the plan are: Roths are not tax deductible; contributions and earnings in the account grow tax free; at 70 ½ you do not have to make required minimum distributions; qualified distributions are tax-free. Other tidbits about IRAs: Contributions made to Traditional and Roth plans must not exceed annual contribution limits ($5,500 in 2013). That means you can’t make a $5,000 contribution to your Roth and a $5,000 to your Traditional in the same year. You can make a “carryback” contribution from January 1-April 15 for the previous year. Meaning, you can allocate contributions to go toward your 2012 IRA limit up to April 15, 2013. If you are over age 50, you can make a catch up contribution of $1,000 in addition to the $5,500 maximum contribution for 2013. That means $6,500 can be invested in 2013. At 59 ½ you can withdraw money from your IRA penaltyfree for living expenses to supplement income. “It’s never too early to start saving for retirement,” Pilgrim

Page 25

said. “A lot of people underestimate what they will need when they retire. Speak to a financial planner or tax advisor now to find out how much you will need to save for retirement and start putting away any amount you can, even if it’s only $500 a year. That’s $500 you can put toward medical bills, insurance, groceries, cost of living, anything later on.” RCB Bank can help you get started. One product it offers is an 18-month variable IRA that can be set up as a Traditional or Roth. You can open the IRA with an initial $250 deposit and then add $1 or more at any time. The plan offers automatic renewal or the ability to make plan changes at the end of its term. Plus, it is FDIC insured. If you can’t make the initial $250 deposit, you still have options, said Pilgrim. “Take what you can from each paycheck, put in a savings account until you build up to $250, and then open up an IRA account. Don’t leave your financial future up to chance, start saving however much you can now.” Stop by any RCB Bank branch to talk about opening a Traditional or Roth IRA or other options that may be open to you.
