Paint Inola Green Inola’s second annual citywide garage sale will be held Saturday, March 16. By Carol Beck-Round As the old adage goes, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Regardless of the origin of this saying, it is definitely true when it comes to garage sales. “Paint Inola Green,” is the theme of the second annual citywide garage sale set for Saturday, March 16, according to Carolyn Dormier, owner of Carolcells Connection and event organizer. “It’s a chance to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and the beginning of spring as well as for people to get involved in the community,” she says. “People can get out and meet their neighbors and do some

bargain shopping at the same time.” Individuals, families and businesses participated in last year’s debut event. “We had more than 20 participants, and the crowds were so large that people couldn’t get out of their driveways because we were so busy.” One individual even drove his pickup truck to town, where he set up shop on Main Street. “He sold every item he brought, which included appliances, TVs and furniture,” she added. Looking to grow the event, Dormier welcomes others to bring their “treasures” to town to

sell. “They will, however, need to get permission from the property owner to set up,” she says. “I have space in the parking lot of Carolcells for people to sell their stuff. My business is located at 222 E. Commercial St.,” she adds. “If anyone is interested, they can call (918) 543-6400 or go to Inola Net Working on Facebook.” While Main Street will be the site of many of the sales, according to Dormier, “Last year, we had a lot of people with garage sales at their homes throughout the town and in the rural area. We will have free (continued on page 30)

Would you like to win a Pot o’ Gold? You don’t even need to locate the rainbow for your opportunity to win, as the prize is part of Claremore Main Street’s 5th annual Bangers and Mash Lunch to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. “This is a unique St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Claremore,” says Cindy Bissett, Claremore Main Street executive director. “It’s a fun-filled time and family-oriented event. It’s also an opportunity for us to raise money for downtown improvements such as planters, art murals, decorations and other improvements.” Organizers will be cooking up the traditional Irish meal of bangers and mash on Friday, March 15 from 11:00 to 1:00 downtown in the Daily Progress parking lot, just west of their

building. “The bangers are a traditional Irish sausage similar to a bratwurst,” says Dale Peterson, planning committee member. “John Walke of Walke Brothers Meat did the research

and found the traditional recipe. He makes them specially for this event.” Cost of the meal including dessert and drink is only $6. The “kissing of the Blarney (continued on page 30)

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

LIFE IS A RISK BY MELANIE HASTY-GRANT

Everything in life is a risk. Everything from taking huge steps to doing absolutely nothing is a risk. Let’s talk in plain English about the risks and rewards of different investments. I’ll start with CD’s. Many folks don’t consider a CD an investment, but it is. Basically, you’re loaning the bank your money in return for a fixed rate of return if held to maturity, (6 months, 1 year, 5 years). The longer you loan the bank your money, the higher the interest rate you get. Right now, the national average for interest on a 6 month CD is .44%, 1 year .64%, and 5 year 1.35% (1). Since it’s guaranteed and backed by FDIC it doesn’t sound like much of a risk. The guaranteed part of a CD isn’t risky but the fact that CD’s are paying so very little is. The reason the low interest rate is a risk to you is because it doesn’t offer you enough to keep up with inflation. It’s called inflation risk and it’s very real! A few years ago we paid about $1 for a gallon of gas. Today we pay more than $3. The average inflation rate is about 3% a year. If you’re not making at least what the inflation rate is…..you’re losing money. Okay, now lets move on to bonds. Typically, folks buy bonds because they perceive them to be less risky. The current average yield for a corporate 10 year bond is 2.43%, for a 20 year 3.97%.(2) Sounds like a pretty square deal?!? It can be, but here is the “skinny”. As the federal funds rate and the US Treasury rate go up, the value of bonds go down. Bonds are subject to interest rate risk if sold prior to maturity. Bond values will decline if interest rates rise and bonds are subject to availability and change in price. The 10 year Treasury note has been at all time lows.(3) If rates go up, prices will go down. (4) What that means to you, if

Industry Stocks is 4.4%. The payment of dividends is not guaranteed. Companies may reduce or eliminate the payment of dividends at any given time. The risk of this type of investment lies in the price fluctuation of the shares that you own. It may go way up, it may go way down. This is what we call principle risk. Always remember that “trees don’t grow straight to heaven”. In other words “the market” doesn’t just go in one direction.

you own a bond, is that the value of what you own will decrease if you don’t hold it to maturity. Another side note is that lots of folks don’t like to buy bonds because of their length to maturity. It can range from 10-20 years or more. That’s a long time to tie up your money. So, for the grand finale’….let’s talk about the “evil” stock market. When you buy a share of a stock you are really buying into a small piece of a company called a “share”. These “shares” are bought and sold on the stock exchange each day. The value of each share goes up and down depending on how many buyers and how many sellers are trading that company each day. Folks decide to buy or sell a particular company based upon lots of things. How much profit a company has during a quarter, if that company pays dividends to its shareholders, and other economic and political factors play a role in whether people may choose to buy or sell. In addition, if the company pays dividends you get to share in the profits of the company. According to the Value Line Survey on the Highest Dividend Yielding Stocks the average dividend for Electric and Utility

The moral of the story is . . . EVERY investment has risk! Such is life. It just depends which risk you are willing to take at the moment. EVERY investment has positives and negatives. There is no Utopia in the investment world. The important thing is that you fully understand the risk and rewards, that you either learn enough to effectively invest on your own, or you hire an expert to do it for you. Remember . . . Who you trust matters! For more information go to www.waterstonewealth.com or call 918-272-1120.

TThere’s a New Kid in Town City of Claremore’s new city manager makes strides towards long-term sustainability. By Cassie Woods to develop a midrange strategic plan. Among the items discussed and considered were the obvious needs of retail development, transportation and infrastructure in various departments such as water, sewer, electric and street, residential development and annexation, and how to strengthen tourism and downtown development.

“These are all items that I have heard over and over since I got to Claremore, and I believe they are all of interest to all of Claremore’s citizens, so we are currently working to encompass them into a strategic plan – sort of a ‘Claremore 2020’ – that we can get to work on immediately,” said Thomas.

the stakeholders at the table, Thomas is organizing a series of informal town hall meetings at various locations in the community. He hopes citizens and business owners will come share their opinions, concerns and ideas about their community so those items can be represented in long-term planning. “We are looking forward to getting out in the neighborhoods and meeting with citizens one on one in a place more comfortable for them than City Hall,” said Thomas. “We’ll be announcing those dates and locations soon.” Claremore has also recently received certification as the state’s first Entrepreneur Ready Community. Thomas hopes this certification will open doors for small businesses and developers to feel comfortable doing business in Claremore and take the community to the next level regarding economic growth. “I have truly enjoyed my short time in Claremore, and I’m excited and energized to be a part of many great things in Claremore’s future,” said Thomas. “Teamwork and communication between the city and its stakeholders are the key

to our success, and I’m looking forward to facilitating new partnerships.” Thomas has a master’s degree in public administration from Brigham Young University and a bachelor’s degree in political science and communication from Weber State College in Utah. Prior to his move to Oklahoma, Thomas served in similar capacities for cities in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Colorado, Wisconsin, Illinois and Utah. In total, he brings to Claremore almost 25 years of municipal service, including successful experience in collective bargaining with public safety unions, financial and long-term sustainability planning, economic development and community outreach projects.

With three months now under his belt as the leader of the City of Claremore, City Manager Jim Thomas is already making big plans for forward movement. “I believe there is a need for a community conversation with Claremore’s stakeholders about what they like and don’t like about Claremore, what they would like to see in Claremore and what they consider to be Claremore’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats,” said Thomas. Thomas identifies Claremore’s five main stakeholders as its citizens, businesses, elected officials, Rogers State University and city staff. He believes that if the five of them come to the table, all with their diverse knowledge and all with the intent of improving the community, the outcome will be great possibilities and advancement for Claremore. “The past is the past. It's a new day in Claremore and it’s time to move forward positively in the future,” said Thomas. Thomas has already held separate retreats for the City Council and department heads

LLadies Day Out The Ladies Lifestyle Extravaganza on Saturday, April 6 at Claremore Expo Center will feature shopping, cash giveaways, seminars, a fashion show, and much more. By Dell Davis The eighth annual women’s show, “Ladies Lifestyle Extravaganza,” is scheduled for Saturday, April 6 at the Claremore Expo Center. This year’s event will feature a full day of activities for ladies of all ages. The Ladies Lifestyle Extravaganza is a day-long event featuring seminar topics that are sure to inform and educate. One of the highlighted panels for the day includes a breakfast seminar that will focus on breast health. Breakfast will be served compliments of Hillcrest Hospital Claremore for the first 100 ladies attending at 9 a.m. with the seminar scheduled for 9:30. Other seminars will concentrate on the importance of heart health, general wellness, and financial security for ladies of all ages. The first 1,000 ladies attending will receive an ecofriendly shopping bag compliments of the Oklahoma Heart Institute. In addition, all attendees will receive a registration for the opportunity to win Ladies Lifestyle cash and

gifts throughout the day. Back by popular demand is the Lifestyle Fashion Show. Models of all ages will be wearing the latest spring fashions. According to Cari and Susan of Nesting Necessities, “We are excited to be involved with this year’s fashion experience. We are going to showcase a great number of our unique Claremore boutiques and our area clothing retailers. Our very own Claremore firefighters are participating as runway escorts for the models during the fashion show as well.” Claremore Dance Studios will return to the event to host dance demos for line dancing, salsa and more. Per Peggy Trease, this year’s event chair, “We had so much fun last year with David and Danielle of Claremore Dance Studios. They were able to inspire everyone in attendance to enjoy the benefits of dance as a fun way to exercise and as just a great way to socialize. These national dance champions made everyone feel at home with their fun demos.”

Literary aficionados will have the opportunity to meet and greet some of the region’s outstanding and widely recognized authors. Authors will do book signings throughout the day hosted by Boarding House Books. Cindy Bissett of Claremore Main Street said, “Last year was the first time to offer this particular show activity and it was so well received we are expanding the area this year.” Recognized as one of the outstanding women’s events in the state, organizers expect Claremore’s show to attract an estimated 80 exhibitors with products ranging from health and beauty, jewelry, purses, clothing and accessories, home décor and much more. The show also offers an excellent opportunity for attendees to gain access to a host of valuable resources, including Safenet Services.

AA Cut Above the Rest Beth’s Pawfection Dog Grooming loves making your pet happy.

By Carol Beck-Round Patience is one word that Beth Holmes uses to describe her job as a dog groomer. Holmes owns and operates Beth’s Pawfection Dog Grooming. Although she didn’t open her business until April of 2011, she has five years experience in the pet grooming industry. “I started at a Broken Arrow business bathing dogs,” she says, “and then graduated to grooming with hands-on

experience. I also worked for a time with a veterinarian.” Holmes’s business, located at 2208 S. Hwy. 66 behind OklaHomes Realty in Claremore, offers an array of the usual pet grooming services. However, some services offered at Beth’s Pawfection Dog Grooming, make it “a cut above the rest.” “We don’t like chaos in our

shop,” says Holmes. “That’s why, unlike other grooming businesses, we prefer grooming your pet by appointment only. We schedule appointments throughout the day with the goal of getting your pet back to you as quickly and efficiently as possible.” Due to scheduling, she adds, “there are fewer animals in the shop at the same time, which means your pet spends less time

Beth Holmes says patience is the key to her success in grooming dogs.

here and it is not as chaotic.” While being groomed, your pet also receives special treatment because only one person handles your dog from the time of arrival until picked up. In addition to Holmes, there is one other groomer, Iva Adams. The two women have a combined 22 years experience in the pet grooming business. “Grooming is not an easy job,” says Holmes, “but we want your pet to have the most enjoyable experience possible. If your pet is happy, it makes our job easier and the owner happier too.” The full grooming package at Pawfection includes a bath, anal gland express in the tub, haircut, nail clipping and filing, and ear hair plucking. Prices begin at $25, depending on the breed and size of the dog. “Most places charge $5 extra for nail filing,” says Holmes. “We don’t. I file the nails so that a dog doesn’t jump on someone and scratch them with their nails.” For those who only want their pet’s nails trimmed, the price is only $5, and includes filing. “We do welcome walk-in nail clippings,” she says. For owners whose pets shed a lot, Beth’s Pawfection offers shedding treatments using the Furminator process. During the shampooing, the animal is scrubbed for five minutes to loosen the hair. Conditioning afterwards helps to further release the undercoat and loosen the hair. “We then blow dry the hair, which further releases the hair, followed by 30 minutes of

Page 9

brushing,” she says. “We then finish the process by blow drying again to get rid of loose hairs.” Holmes recommends the process once a month to every six weeks to keep a pet’s coat in good condition. The additional service costs $10 more for small dogs and $15 for larger dogs. “It’s well worth the price for dogs that have excessive shedding,” she adds. Other services offered by Pawfection include teeth brushing for $5. For an additional charge, your pet can also get a flea shampoo. For small dogs the price is $5 extra, while large dogs cost $10 more. While most of Holmes’s clients are dogs, Pawfection serves cats also. The grooming package, which includes bathing, nail clipping and filing, haircuts, starts at $40. Beth’s Pawfection Dog Grooming business is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Check out their website at www.claremoredoggrooming.com, where you can also schedule an appointment online. You can also find Beth’s Pawfection Dog Grooming on Facebook where she invites you to “like” her business page.

CCould Your Old Driveway Use Some Curb Appeal? LCI Concrete specializes in concrete driveways, patios and other flatwork.

By Duane Blankenship As a homeowner in northeastern Oklahoma, you’ve probably already discovered that winter snow, ice and corrosive salt take their toll on your home’s driveway. Given a little time and a few hard winters, most of us have witnessed firsthand the pitting and flaking that begins defacing our driveways. The deterioration gradually worsens until it has a definite negative effect on your home’s curb appeal and even its value. There is, however, a simple way to get rid of that old “eye sore” leading up to your garage, while greatly improving the curb

appeal. LCI Concrete is in business to remove driveways, patios, and other concrete flatwork that is showing signs of damage for one reason or another. They then replace the damaged concrete with the finest concrete and strengthening materials available. Kalan Paul is the owner of LCI Concrete and has more than 20 years of experience in his chosen field, serving both commercial and residential customers. His company has specialized in the pouring and scoring of concrete driveways,

patios and most other flatwork including sidewalks. Kalan attended Northeastern State University, and he and his wife, Aimee, reside in Broken Arrow. LCI is fully insured and is a member in good standing with both the Broken Arrow and Tulsa chambers of commerce. “We have but one goal,” said Kalan, “and that is to make every customer proud of their new LCI concrete product that will serve them well for years and years to come.” When one approaches your property, their first image is influenced by the driveway. If it’s unsightly with corrosion and flaking, it’s not going to make a good impression. Kalan says concrete is durable, and when the soil and concrete are properly prepared and poured, you can expect it to last for at least 20 to 30 years. And you will rest easy knowing that LCI has the knowledge to do the job right each time. Replacing a damaged driveway is not inexpensive, but with its expected lifespan it might be a good investment and add value to your home. Concrete brightens up the areas around our homes and businesses at night. It is also an environmentally-friendly product because it is composed of renewable resources that can be

The average driveway takes about two days to break out, remove, prep, pour, and score. LCI first lays 3/8-inch rebar on industry recommended 2-foot grid patterns after the subsurface has been properly and professionally prepared. Using industry standards of 3500 psi, LCI then pours and finishes the concrete. These standards are incorporated into every job they do. Concrete cures quicker during the hot days of summer, and you may drive on it in seven days. If it is poured in the fall or spring, you should allow about ten days before driving on it.

Here’s a great tip from Kalan: “Do your concrete driveway and yourself a favor by using only clean sand on winter ice or snow covering it. Your driveway will last much longer.” Add curb appeal to your home by replacing your ugly, pitted, corroding driveway. Call Kalan at LCI Concrete for a free estimate.

BBecome a Hero Rogers State University President Larry Rice will chair the annual “HEROES for the American Red Cross” campaign. By Sheryl Sowell Dr. Larry Rice, president, Rogers State University, has been selected to be the chairman for the Rogers County 2013 “HEROES

for the American Red Cross” campaign. The campaign will take place in Rogers County throughout the month of March,

Dr. Larry Rice, president of Rogers State University and chairman of the Rogers County “HEROES for the American Red Cross” campaign.

which is National American Red Cross Month. The campaign goal is $30,000. The “HEROES for the American Red Cross” campaign invites members of the community, including individuals, businesses, schools, churches and community organizations, to volunteer to collect $1,000 to support the work of their local American Red Cross. Heroes can choose how they want to raise the funds – through fund drives, financial donations, special events or business promotions. All money raised through the campaign stays in Rogers County. The funds are used to provide food, shelter and other necessities for those suffering from a disaster. “I am proud to have been asked to chair this year’s “HEROES for the American Red Cross” campaign. Rogers State University has a long history of partnering with the American Red Cross, from holding blood drives on campus to co-sponsoring the annual murder mystery fundraising event,” said Dr. Larry Rice. “The American Red Cross and its dedicated volunteers make a vital difference in our community every single

day. Whether it’s helping a family after a home fire, or opening shelters in a blizzard or after a tornado, if there is a need, the American Red Cross is always there. We’ve seen that time and time again. Funds raised through the Hero Campaign is what helps make that possible. I invite everyone to join in as a Hero and make this the most successful campaign ever.” Home fires are the most common American Red Cross disaster response. Last year, the local Rogers/Mayes/Wagoner County Service Center responded to 88 home fires, affecting 304 people, with nearly $45,500 in assistance provided in the three counties it serves. “We are very pleased that Dr. Rice will be this year’s Rogers County “HEROES for the American Red Cross” campaign chair. I know with his leadership this will be a very successful campaign,” said Mark Ogle, director, Rogers/Mayes/Wagoner County Service Center. “The campaign is the only time of year that our local service center holds a formal fundraising drive in Rogers County. Its success is essential in making sure that we have ade-

quate resources available to respond to disasters and provide victims assistance with their immediate emergency needs.” Several heroes have already signed up for this year’s campaign. They are: AXH air-coolers; BancFirst; Claremore Daily Progress; Hillcrest Hospital Claremore; HydroHoist Marine Group; Jo Bostick; NOREN (Northeastern Oklahoma Real Estate Network); Pelco Structural, L.L.C.; RCB Bank; Rogers State University; Sean Burrage; SPARK (Sharing Progress Around Rogers Kounty); Suburban Chevrolet and Walmart Supercenter. There can never be too many Heroes, and signing up is easy – just call Dr. Rice at (918) 343-7612 or Mark Ogle at (918) 344-8442 or e-mail Mark.Ogle@redcross.org and let them know to count you in.

hundred years.” The full-length play has been adapted for the stage by Joseph Robinette, who worked closely with E. B. White to create a thrilling theatrical presentation. “Charlotte’s Web” tells the heartwarming story of Wilbur, an irresistible and curious young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher and have a friend, including Fern, a girl who loves Wilbur and understands what animals say to each other, and most of all, Charlotte, the extraordinary spider who proves to be a true friend by the words she creates in her web to save Wilbur from the butcher block. The play teaches us the valuable life lessons of love, friendship, loyalty and sacrifice. The all-student cast of 22 features Anna Myers, 14, as Charlotte (home schooled, Tulsa), Jenna Davis, 10, as Wilbur (Eliot Elementary, Tulsa) and Madeline Kassen, 14, as Fern (Jenks Middle School). Students from Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Owasso, Sand Springs, Bixby and Mannford are performing in the show.

(L to R): Anna Myers (Charlotte), Daniel Newberry (Templeton), and Jenna Davis (Wilbur). Terry Grufik directs the production. Tickets are $10 for adults, $9 for seniors and $8 for children under 12.

YYou Won’t Believe Your Eyes Advanced Vision Center & Boutique is unique and comfortable, providing high quality optometry services and eyeglasses. By Susan Erler Walking through the doors of Advanced Vision Center & Eyewear Boutique, located at 860 S. Lynn Riggs Blvd., you may wonder if you are in the right place. Typically, doctor’s offices don’t have seven-foot mirrors with more bling on them than stars at the Oscars. And it goes without saying that the lifesize zebra is quite a shock too. But, you are in the right place.

Dr. Abby Overstreet has designed her office to reflect everything she loves in her own home – lots of color, lots of sparkle and a cozy atmosphere that makes you almost wish you had to wait longer before they call you back for your exam. Dr. Overstreet started her practice in 2008 in a small office in the back of her current location. She was so resolute

that her offices reflect her own unique personality that she even built and designed all the furniture she has in her waiting room. Each piece is colorful, fun, and looks like it belongs in an art museum, not an optometrist’s office. “I just wanted to be sure that it didn’t feel like an office,” explains Abby. “I wanted people to feel relaxed and comfortable when they have appointments with me, just like their own home.” The welcoming atmosphere, however, is just one part of the overall experience. Dr. Overstreet’s emphasis is on creating the total package for her patients. From the minute a client calls to schedule an appointment, she makes sure that everyone is treated with respect. Her entire staff understands the importance of treating everyone like family. With exceptional customer service and a doctor who genuinely cares about those that step into her location, patients can always count on an extremely thorough eye exam, a stress-free visit, and a selection of frames that you have to see to believe.

Brands like Juicy Couture, Skechers, Candies, Fossil, Harley Davidson, Oakley, Coach, Calvin Klein, Umbro and Maui Jim, just to name a few, are all up to date, stylish and each frame is hand-picked by Abby herself. Advanced Vision Center also offers comprehensive exams for a variety of visual disorders. She does specialized testing and treatment designed to help manage glaucoma and serves as an emergency care facility for many area businesses whose employees sometimes find foreign objects in their eyes. Dr. Overstreet also concentrates on caring for those suffering from diabetes and even follows through with their primary care physician in order to create a comprehensive approach to their healthcare. In addition, she has specifically designed a room for her pediatric patients, sure to keep them happy and engaged. At an early age, Abby knew she wanted to have a career in the medical field. After interning at optometrist offices and also in the emergency room, she decided that optometry was the best choice for her and her future family. That decision has

Page 13

been one of the best she has ever made. She met her husband at optometry school, and he spends a few hours a week working with Abby in her Claremore location, while spending the majority of his time at Triad Laser Center in Tulsa. The connection with Triad allows Dr. Overstreet to take care of many post-operative Lasik patients, helping them avoid the long drive into Tulsa. The final piece to Advanced Vision Center’s success is the knowledgeable and friendly staff. Each person is trained in fitting eyewear and can help with making the best choice for each individual, taking into account their lifestyle, sense of fashion and facial structure. They pride themselves in knowing insurance plans and benefits so that no customer pays more than they have to. Abby knows that everyone has a choice when it comes to their optical care. For an exceptional experience with personalized care and outstanding customer service, call Advanced Vision Center at (918) 283-2020.

SSuperior Patient Care in Your Own Backyard Advance Imaging provides MRIs and other imaging services right in the heart of Claremore. Emerge Medical Day Spa will host a SkinMedica Peel Event on January 9, 2013. By Susan Erler They are your neighbors, their children attend school with yours, they shop at the same places you do – they are the radiologists and staff at Advance

Imaging. Located at 1110 W. Will Rogers Blvd. in Claremore, Advance Imaging is a business heavily invested in the Claremore community.

Business Development Director Peggy Trease, Radiologic Technologist Barbara Ginn, and Director of Marketing Joel Derington.

Staff is comprised of longtime Claremore residents who believe in providing the very best care to their local community. They serve on the Claremore Chamber Board of Directors and support other local business, even purchasing three new vehicles for the center from a Claremore car dealership. “We don’t just say that we support our community,” says Peggy Trease, business development director. “We show our support in everything we do, every day.” Serving the Rogers County and northeast Oklahoma area, Advance Imaging prides itself on providing excellent patient care. Small conveniences such as being able to pull right up to the front door combined with the convenient location and one-onone patient care all unite to give their patients an experience that is second to none. “There are several really important aspects that our facility brings to local residents,” states Joel Derington, director of marketing. “We can get patients seen in days instead of weeks, which allows them to be diagnosed that much faster. The sooner you have images taken,

the sooner you are diagnosed, the sooner you are on the way to recovery, and that makes all the difference. We can shave off weeks or months that people have to endure pain just because we make it easier to get testing scheduled.” Advance Imaging offers many different types of treatments and radiology options. One machine they are extremely proud of is their High Field MRI. High Field Imaging is so advanced compared to other types of imaging that Joel describes it as the difference between today’s high-definition television and black and white television of the 50s. A High Field Image is five times more advanced than other forms of imaging, giving the doctor an image that is clearer, easier to read and has much more detail. Advance Imaging is also one of the few places that offer sedation during your visit. “This allows our patients who may be extremely claustrophobic or our pediatric patients to have an MRI or other treatment while they are sedated so they can be treated more comfortably,”

explains Peggy. Both Peggy and Joel emphasize that everyone needs to know that they have the right to ask their physicians about utilizing Advance Imaging. For many patients, this is a terrific alternative to having to drive to Tulsa, dealing with traffic and sparse parking. Peggy encourages patients who need imaging or any of the other many procedures they offer in their Claremore location to be proactive in letting their physician know where they prefer to have tests done. “I always tell patients that you have the right to choose your health care options and you always need to be your own advocate for your health care.” Take control of your own health care and ask for Advance Imaging the next time you need imaging.

Don’t miss the Rogers County Home, Garden, Farm & Ranch Show at Claremore Expo Center March 22-24.

By Lorrie Ward It started out over 15 years ago in the old Claremore Armory on the corner of Patti Page and Lynn Riggs Boulevards. But while that armory is no longer in existence, the show must go on – the Rogers County Home, Garden, Farm & Ranch Show, that is. The event is scheduled to run from noon to 8 p.m. on Friday, March 22, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 23, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 24. It will once again be held at the Claremore Expo Center, where it has grown to be one of the location’s largest annual events. Kathy Geyer of OklaHomes Realty and current president of Northeastern Oklahoma Real Estate Network (NOREN) and Brett Knapp of Brett Knapp Quality Homebuilders and former president of Rogers County Builders Association are serving as co-chairs for the 2013 show. “We would like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to come out to the Rogers County Home, Garden, Farm & Ranch Show,” says Kathy, “where they can enjoy the weekend, visiting and learning from master gardeners and many

other vendors.” The show has something for everyone and will host numerous exhibits relating to new homes, remodeling and other home improvement projects, farming, ranching, and gardening. On Saturday and Sunday, the Oklahoma Mower Association will hold Lawn Mower Demolitions and Lawn Mower Drag Racing at the expo’s outdoor oval track. To learn more about these fun spectator events, find the Oklahoma Mower Association on Facebook. Since food is an integral part of any home and garden, there will be plenty of tasty things to sample at this year’s show. Bill Baird of Claremore’s The Hammett House will coordinate guest chefs for the show, and the Happy Smoker Barbecue will be there, featuring all types of barbecue. For the kids, there will be a 30 by 60 foot slide inflatable dragon, sponsored by Pixley Lumber Company, and plenty of interactive events hosted by the Master Gardeners Association of Rogers County (MGARC). Both Kathy and Brett report that they are happy to join forces with

John Haase, Kathy Geyer and Brett Knapp team up to kick off this year’s Rogers County Home, Garden, Farm & Ranch Show. John Haase and the OSU Extension of MGARC, who will help coordinate the event. The MGARC will host several seminars by master gardeners relating to vegetable gardening, soil testing, and other garden-related issues. John Haase reports that in light of recent weather patterns, this year will feature great concentration on low-maintenance landscaping, low water

usage (also called xeriscaping), and drought-resistant plants. In the spirit of this theme, the first 500 attendees will receive a free Arizona Cypress tree seedling. “This is an Oklahoma proven plant from OSU research,” says John. “It’s a good, low-maintenance, drought and disease resistant evergreen. It originated in Arizona, but it grows great here.”

SSpring Brings Swarming Termites Mother Nature’s Pest Control recommends the Sentricon HD System in the battle against termites. By Duane Blankenship It’s that time of year, so don’t be surprised when you see pesky termites swarming. These pests usually appear during the month of April and are a “red flag” that termites are in your area. They have also been known to swarm into the month of May in our area.

Mother Nature’s Pest Control is still the number one Sentricon installation and monitoring company in the state of Oklahoma, and they’ve been eliminating termites since 1979. In a recent visit with Mother Nature’s spokesperson Shelia Disler, she revealed some

Shelia Disler demonstrates the new HD Always-Baited Sentricon Trap that works like a “magic bullet” in eliminating termite colonies.

interesting facts about termites. They are born for one mission: to eat, and this they do from birth until death. Termites inflict serious damage to homes in short order, and queens commonly live for 25 years and up to as many as 50 years. “There is an average of five termite colonies per acre in our area,” said Sheila. Thousands of termites will swarm from these colonies each year, typically during daylight hours when it’s sunny and usually just after a rain. Every swarming termite is a potential king or queen, and the purpose of their swarming is for pairs to mate and return to the ground to form new colonies, where they immediately begin to reproduce. Although only three percent of the “swarmers” find mates, that’s still a lot of termites – and potential new colonies. Those that do not find mates die in just a few hours. The original Sentricon System appeared in Oklahoma in 1995 when it gained state approval. It has been recognized as one of the best solutions to eliminating existing termite colonies and preventing future infestations. A couple of years ago

Sentricon introduced its new HD Always-Baited System that may be the greatest improvement ever made in the fight against termites. “With the new HD System, you get two and a half times the punch you had with the original system,” said Shelia. “The rosin based cellulose and bait repels moisture while it provides protection. This is the foundation of the new HD System.” Since termites are always foraging, they are attracted to the bait and carry it back to underground colonies to be regurgitated, where it is then eaten by other members of the colony, in the very heart of where they live. As more and more bait is consumed, activity becomes less and less until the entire colony is eliminated. The Sentricon termite elimination system is eco-friendly and provides great peace of mind as it protects your home from termites. Take Mother Nature’s experienced advice. Check their website or call direct for more information on the new Sentricon HD System, even if you already have the original Sentricon System. Shelia says it’s good to

periodically place some glue boards in dark areas of your home that are frequent havens for brown recluse (fiddle back) or black widow spiders. Good areas to set the traps are clothes closets, heater and hot water closets, and attics. And when you’re doing your spring gardening and planting, be sure to wear gloves and shoes. Both of these spiders love flowerbeds and areas where they can hide. You don’t want to be bitten by either. Mother Nature’s also provides total pest control for rats, squirrels, opossums, raccoons, armadillos, pigeons, skunks and more. If any of these pests have invaded your home or yard, contact Mother Nature’s Pest Control for a free estimate to trap and have them removed from your property.

SSpring Clean Your Mortgage Refinancing could save you money. By Jocelyn Wood When is the last time you reviewed your mortgage statement? Could a refinance save you money? RCB Bank loan officers Jenalee Mitchell, Robin Brown and Michael Banham answer questions to help determine if refinancing is a money-wise decision for you. How often should I review my mortgage? Every three years, unless you have an adjustable rate (ARM), says Jenalee Mitchell of Claremore. “In that case, review annually. Rates are lower than they’ve ever been. If you have an adjustable rate mortgage, don’t risk an increase when your rate period is set to adjust; now is the time to lock in a fixed rate.” What should I be looking at? Review your interest rate, term of loan, adjustable rate or balloon payments, if any, and your home’s current appraised value, says Mike Banham of Owasso. “With a lower interest rate, it’s possible to reduce your term, thus saving you money by reducing interest costs over the life of your loan, and have the new payment still be close to

your existing payment.” Also, when reviewing your mortgage, you should determine what you want to accomplish, says Robin Brown of Broken Arrow. “Is your goal to lower your monthly payment, shorten your mortgage term or get cash from the equity built up in your home? Once you decide what you want to accomplish, then you can determine if refinancing is right for your personal financial goal.” When should I consider refinancing? If the current interest rate is 2% lower than your current mortgage loan rate, it may be cost effective to refinance, says Jenalee. “Keep in mind, you have to also consider the balance owed on your current mortgage and how long you plan to be in your home. How long will it take to recover closing costs?” Other reasons to refinance include to lower your loan costs and shorten the term of your loan; lower your monthly payments and use the savings for other items in your budget; convert adjustable rates to a fixed rate; or raise cash, using

your equity for home improvements or to pay off debt. When is refinancing not a good idea? If you plan to move in the next few years, or if your home value has decreased, refinancing may not be the best solution, says Mike. “It takes about three to four years to recoup the closing costs for a refinance. Also, if your home has lost value, a refinance may cause you to pay PMI (private mortgage insurance) or a higher PMI than on your current loan. Be careful, as upfront mortgage insurance has doubled for FHA loans in the last 18 months.” Another reason to pass on refinancing is if you’re close to paying off your loan, says Robin. “Once a customer is within 10 years of paying off their loan, typically more of the payment is going towards principal and it isn’t feasible to refinance (unless you can see closing costs will be recouped).” What do I do if I want to refinance (or don’t know)? Talk with an experienced loan officer who can help you

RCB Bank Loan Officer Jenalee Mitchell recently helped a customer save $210 a month on their loan payments and reduce their total interest by almost $46,000 over the life of the loan. decide if refinancing is a moneysaving opportunity for you, says Mike. “Ask questions. Ask for your best options and compare programs.” It’s important to find a lender you can trust, adds Robin. “For instance, here at RCB Bank we don’t pressure our customers. Together, we’ll discuss your goals and examine options to find the best possible solution for your financial needs, at no obligation.” How long does the process take? On average, the loan process, from the initial application until the loan is closed, takes about 30 to 45 days, says Robin. “The most important key is good and open

communication between you and your loan officer. At RCB Bank, our customers are important to us. It is our goal to keep you informed during the refinance process and work with you to make it as easy and comfortable as possible.” If you want help reviewing your mortgage to see if refinancing is the smart money-saving decision, we invite you to visit any RCB Bank branch location and speak with a loan officer. You can also call 855-BANKRCB and ask to speak to Jenalee, Mike or Robin. For more information, contact

OOklahoma’s Largest Wine Tasting Festival The 10th annual Flying Fez Wine Tasting Festival will be held Saturday, March 9 at the Bedouin Shrine Temple in Muskogee. By Sheryl Sowell Enjoy a day of education, fun and celebration of Oklahoma’s wine industry at the 10th annual Flying Fez Wine Festival on Saturday, March 9 at the Bedouin Shrine Temple in Muskogee. This event is not just a showcase for Oklahoma wineries; it is a wine experience in itself. “All proceeds will support the betterment of the Shrine Temple, including its new roof,” said Shriner Stan Martin. Ten of Oklahoma’s finest wineries will come together for what has become the largest wine festival in the state. All types of wines, including many award winners that rival those from Napa Valley, will be on hand to taste: dry wine, dessert wine, hot mulled wine, iced wine smoothies and more. It all takes place in a warm, friendly and casual setting. The Flying Fez Wine Festival attracts people of all ages 21 and older from across the state to learn, sample, and enjoy old favorites and new wines. Many take advantage of festival discounts and buy their wine supply for the whole year. The festival is an opportunity to really get to know wine. Attendees not only sample

the wines, but can talk with the owners and winemakers who are more than happy to answer questions and share their vast knowledge. One of the most-heard comments through the years has been an appreciation for the tips on wine pairings. Just like adding cream to coffee changes its texture and taste, food – when interacting with wine – will affect its flavor. In fact, different ingredients and preparation methods will bring out different taste sensations with the same bottle of wine. By talking with the winemakers, guests can learn what works best with typical dishes, cheeses and international cuisine. Of course, the day would not be complete without wonderful food to go with the wine. A gourmet Italian cuisine lunch (not included in the ticket price) will be served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The festival will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 9. Tickets are $20 per person, and each guest will receive an embossed wine glass. The Bedouin Shrine Temple is located at 201 S. 6th St. in

Enjoy delicious wines from ten Oklahoma wineries at the Flying Fez Wine Festival. Muskogee and offers plenty of free parking. The Shrine is best known for its colorful parades, its distinctive red fez, and its official philanthropy, Shriners Hospitals for Children, which has often been called the “world's greatest philanthropy.” Shriners Hospitals for Children are at the forefront of medical treatment and research in

orthopaedic, burn and spinal cord injury care. More than 800,000 young people are able to lead better, fuller lives thanks to the hospital and medical services the Shriners have provided. “We are excited to be celebrating our 10th annual wine festival in support of the Shrine. It’s always a wonderful time, and

we’re hoping to make this year our biggest success yet!” said Stan. For more information, contact

AA Local Classic Is Back Knotty Pine Barbeque reopened doors in Broken Arrow in November of last year. By Duane Blankenship If you lived in northeastern Oklahoma during the 50s, 60s, or 70s, when you hear the word barbeque the first name that most likely comes to mind is Knotty Pine. This institution established roots in Sand Springs in 1952 by founder Paul Woodard. The Knotty Pine first opened doors as a beer joint that served some barbeque. In 1962 Mr. Woodard decided he needed to change the image of the establishment and changed the name to Knotty Pine Barbeque. It became a premier barbeque restaurant that served some beer and met the community’s need for a place to sit down for some great food and fellowship. It was not uncommon “back in the day” to see the county sheriff, the mayor, or even the state governor at the Knotty Pine. It seemed that everybody went there during the years the restaurant was establishing itself as the local landmark, which would burn to the ground in May of 2010 due to a fire started by a faulty smoker. Knotty Pine Barbeque reopened its doors on November 5, 2012 at 1424 W. Kenosha, across the street from the Rhema

Fitness Center in Broken Arrow. Owner Jim Rice said that the foundation of Knotty Pine’s success has always been its select, choice meat. “Paul Woodward insisted on buying the best beef and pork available, and it’s the principle we follow today at our restaurant in Broken Arrow.” Rice buys corn-fed beef from Arkansas and travels there personally to make periodic inspections to assure the quality stays at the highest level for his restaurant. “We were taught that to be successful, we must maintain our standards of great food and great employees,” Rice said. Nine of his 15 servers previously worked for Knotty Pine in the Sand Springs restaurant. Prices are very competitive, from the basic sandwich to full-order dinners. The Broken Arrow restaurant is decorated with lots of Harley Davidson memorabilia, and you never know who you’ll see there. “Come for the food, stay for the ambiance,” says Jim. “We’re famous for serving up the best of both.” Jim says he feels the menu and the food are better now than ever before, and his high-tech

smoker is near failsafe with dozens of devices that will shut down the system if ever a potential fire-causing problem is perceived. Longtime friends of Knotty Pine tell Jim that they believe his food is better than the original served back in the early days and that their mouths still water whenever they think about the Knotty Pine menu. Carrie Burr, whose husband is a Tulsa police officer, started working for Knotty Pine in Sand Springs 24 years ago. “Customers tell me all the time that this is the best barbeque they’ve ever eaten,” she said. One Oklahoma native who now resides in California notified Jim on Facebook that he was traveling back just to eat at Knotty Pine. The menu features beef, bologna, chicken, ham, hot links, pork, sausage, ribs, spare ribs, chopped brisket, sliced brisket, sandwiches, slaw, potato salad, beans, spuds, sides, salads, desserts, and catering for all events. If you savor barbeque with all the fixin’s, Knotty Pine has it. And the best part of eating there is that it’s delicious and guaranteed to fill your

Civic groups and organizations are also encouraged to get involved by using the event as a fundraiser. “For example,”

continued from page 1 Dormier says, “they could host a bake sale or sell barbeque.” Out-of-town vendors are also welcome. Last year, the cousin of an Inola business owner, Samantha DoBoer, brought her assorted baby items from Broken Arrow to sell. “She did really well,” says DoBoer, who owns Salon 7 with her mother, Karen Froese. Salon 7, which held its grand opening with a ribbon cutting at last year’s garage sale, will be celebrating one year in business. Jim Loyd and the River Road Band will be providing live music at his store, Loyd and Sons, by the traffic light (time

and weather permitting). They also perform free the second Saturday of the month at Inola Senior Center. While much of the activity occurs around the small town’s traffic light, Dormier encourages shoppers to “not limit yourself to that area. That’s where the crowd was last year, but plenty of bargains can be found throughout the community and into the rural parts of Inola.” Dormier encourages everyone to come and browse through the clothing, antiques, glassware, furniture, household items and appliances.

Exceeding Expectations now wholly owned by Fowler Holding Company, Mike Fowler, president. The dealership officially changed hands, becoming Fowler Chevrolet, on September 12, 2012. New management has brought the dealership to a level that has exceeded public expectations. The building has a brand new front and new car sales area. Almost everything throughout the operation is new, including paint, floors, service drive, furniture, customer lounge, and state-of-the-art service equipment. Service Manager Jeff Cantrell reported that in the near future each service advisor will be equipped with a personalized computer tablet, enabling them to record your personal service information on the drive as you deliver your vehicle for service. You’ll immediately see new computerized equipment on the service department driveway that checks wheel alignment in less than two minutes. And it’s done for free. The shop also sports new lifts and a Broadway car wash area. “Our shop is built for the next century,” says Jeff, “with all its technology, sophisticated equipment, convenience, comfort, and detail to protecting the environment.” Jeff says customers are sure to be impressed by the new lounge area. “We have a hard time getting our customers to leave the lounge after their vehicles have been repaired,” he laughed. “But that’s okay. We want them to feel right at home

when they visit.” Fowler is now fully open for business with no more construction woes, and employees and customers are appreciating the beautiful new automotive dealership and their provided services. Fowler Chevrolet’s on-site service department employs GM-trained certified service technicians equipped with all the knowledge and tools required to keep your vehicle in top-running condition for many years to come. They provide all services, from routine oil changes to detailed collision repairs. Be sure to check the Fowler Chevrolet website for featured daily specials. You’ll find Fowler’s fully-stocked parts department handy when you require genuine OEM parts or need assistance locating a hard-to-find part. There’s always an expert behind the counter to assist you. Fowler Chevrolet is a proud sponsor of Turn Tulsa Pink. The mission of this program is to bring to light the local charities that offer services and support to all people affected by cancer in our communities. They believe charity begins at home, and Turn Tulsa Pink is a focused act of kindness and love for all people in our community battling any type of cancer. To promote Fowler’s participation in the program, all service advisors wear pink shirts each Tuesday, and sales personnel wear their Turn Tulsa Pink shirts each Saturday.

BBeautiful Lawns Don’t Happen By Chance SoonerLawn Weed Control & Fertilization provides excellent results, great customer service and low prices.

By Sheryl Sowell

With Annual Contract. Licensed and Insured. Commercial and Residential. References Available.

Call SoonerLawn for a healthy, green, flourishing lawn. Michael explains that their six-step program will give you a greener, healthier lawn, and now is the perfect time to get started. Step one, best completed in early spring, is an application of pre-emergent herbicide for crabgrass control. Steps two through five involve applying post-emergent herbicides plus fertilizer, and are done in the spring and summer. The final step, winterized weed control to keep your yard looking great in the winter,

is completed in the fall. SoonerLawn is licensed and insured and provides a variety of services for both residential and commercial customers, including weed control, fertilization, aeration, perimeter control, insecticides, mole control, turf disease control, fescue seeding, and flower bed fertilization. They also offer suggestions to the home or business owner on related issues such as proper watering and mowing.

Clyde Moore said, “There’s one good thing about snow, it makes your lawn look as nice as your neighbor’s.” Northeast Oklahomans haven’t received quite enough snow to complain about (or be happy about) this winter, and now it’s almost time for spring! If you dream of having a beautiful, lush lawn that is certain to be the envy of your neighbors, but don’t want to spend a ton of money, call SoonerLawn Weed Control & Fertilization today. Michael Bolton, who is a captain in the army, owns SoonerLawn, which got its start 10 years ago. According to Michael, SoonerLawn has maintained a decade of success for three simple reasons – competitive pricing, excellent customer service, and impressive results. “Give us a chance! We are willing to go above and beyond for our customers, and we provide great results. You’ll be happy with your beautiful, thick, green lawn,” says Michael. “We also have very good prices. We researched and found that our prices are below most, if not all, other local lawn care companies.” Friendly employees and top-notch results at a low price – what are you waiting for?

Karen Ames said, “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.” SoonerLawn has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau of Tulsa.
