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

codes, which differ from company to company and are changed all the time.” Because of all these complications, Dr. Tate explains that medical costs also go up because doctors have to hire so much extra staff to deal with billing and insurance issues. That’s why Grassroots Healthcare keeps it simple, with affordable fees which are posted up front and are due at time of service. “We want to keep our healthcare facility free from government and insurance influence,” she says. “This helps us keep prices far lower.” To illustrate just how much lower, Dr. Tate recalls a situation in which she sent a patient to have lab work done at a place used by other doctors as well. Grassroots charged its usual low fee for the lab work, which took care of all costs involved for

both Grassroots and the lab company. Somehow, though, the patient’s insurance company was accidentally billed by the lab for the procedure and a detailed statement was sent to the patient. The matter was rectified quickly, and neither he nor the insurance company had to pay any further costs. However, both Dr. Tate and the patient were amazed by how all the channels that would have been involved with an insurance payment had increased the cost of the lab work dramatically: the price went from $60 to $400. CT scans are another important service that can be obtained at Grassroots, at a cost of $150, a price which Dr. Tate describes as “extremely affordable.” The services at Grassroots Healthcare include, and extend (continued on page 28)

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

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

To Hell in a Hand Basket BY MELANIE HASTY-GRANT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TTake a Trip to Tijuana’s Tijuana’s Grill & Cantina offers a large menu of Mexican culinary delights at 146th and Memorial in Bixby. By Lorrie Ward Business was booming at Tijuana's Grill & Cantina at 79th and Memorial in Tulsa. Owner Francisco Barbosa's brother, who had been in business with him for many years, decided to pursue other avenues and so, in order to be able to keep running his family-based business, Francisco and his wife Giselle had to choose between their two Tijuana’s locations. They shut the doors of the Tulsa location and decided to concentrate their full efforts on the restaurant at 146th and Memorial in Bixby. "We want people to know we are still here," Francisco says. "We've already had many of our customers from the Tulsa location come to the restaurant and say they are so glad they found us!" Arturo Vergara, who has been a cook at the Bixby location since it opened its doors in September of 2010, is now joined by his brother, Luis, who was cook at the 79th and Memorial location. The brothers have worked for the Barbosa family for over a decade, back to when Francisco worked for El Chico Restaurant. They were such great cooks that Francisco hired them seven years ago when

Francisco and Giselle Barbosa with their children. he, Giselle, and his brother opened the first Tijuana's in Tulsa. The brothers have become well-known for their mastery of Mexican cuisine, which includes all the traditional favorites such as enchiladas, tacos, and fajitas as well as house specialties. The highly popular Guadalajara Grill

includes a fajita steak topped with spinach sauce, chicken breast topped with white queso, and shrimp on a bed of veggies and rice. Another especially popular special on the menu is Spicy Tacos Guajillos, consisting of five soft corn tortillas filled with chicken breast and sautéed in guajillo sauce, then topped

with jack cheese and garnished with cilantro and pico de gallo. Tijuana’s is famous for its authentic tamales, which come in two varieties—pork with chili sauce and chicken with green sauce—and are made completely from scratch. In fact, Francisco points out that in addition to having such a great cooking staff, one of the reasons Tijuana’s food is so flavorful and authentic is because every effort is made to create homemade food with natural ingredients. “Our chile verde is the best in town,” he says. “It is all natural, made from scratch with no vinegar—not from a can.” If you are in the mood for seafood, Tijuana’s has a variety of selections on the “Del Mar” menu, everything from fish tacos (which Francisco reports are highly popular) to Fish and Shrimp Cancun, which consists of grilled fish and shrimp topped with spinach cream sauce and melted jack cheese, served with rice and vegetables. In fact, Francisco points out that Tijuana’s menu has something for everyone and for every level of hunger, whether you want a light grilled chicken salad, a bowl of tortilla soup, a steak fajita

sandwich or a heavier entrée. Tijuana’s offers an all you can eat lunch special, with your mix and match choice of enchiladas, tostadas, tacos and burritos, and an iced tea. For dessert, choose from any variety of completely authentic, handmade choices of fried ice cream, choco chimichangas, Mexican flan, sopapillas, apple sopapillas, and apple pie. Francisco and Giselle are happy to invite those who love authentic, flavorful Mexican food to visit the Bixby location, whether they are new customers or Tijuana’s fans from days gone by. “September will make our second year in our new location,” says Francisco. “We want to take this opportunity to express appreciation for all of our customers’ support.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Guidelines for Fireworks Safety

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

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

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

of paved parking at the door. The annual fireworks sale lasts from June 15 through July 6. Hours are: June 15–30, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; July 1–4, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and July 5-6, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Castle of Muskogee has fireworks to please anyone, with prices for every budget. There are fireworks for smaller children plus more than 400 items for teens and adults including the largest selection in America of heavyweight and multi-action displays. Select from many versions of specially-priced Family Packs to get the most bang for your buck. Over a quarter-million people visit the Castle each year for a variety of events including the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival, Haunted Castle, Christmas Kingdom, plus many weddings, private and corporate events. When you can shop in a Castle, why shop anywhere else? For more information, contact

The Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Council on Fireworks Safety offer the following safety checklist: • Always read and follow label directions. • Have an adult present. • Buy from reliable sellers. • Use outdoors only. • Always have water handy (a garden hose and a bucket). • Never experiment or make your own fireworks. • Light only one firework at a time. • Never re-light a “dud” firework (wait 15 minutes then soak it in water). • Never give fireworks to small children. • If necessary, store fireworks in a cool, dry place. • Dispose of fireworks by soaking them in water before putting in the trash. • Never throw or point fireworks at other people. • Never carry fireworks in your pocket. • Never shoot fireworks in metal or glass containers. • The shooter should always wear eye protection and never have any part of the body over the firework. • Stay away from illegal explosives.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But Re-Bath of Tulsa doesn’t do that anymore. “We do only complete tub and shower remodels,” says Glenn. “We don’t cover your old one. We don’t cover the problem, the mold, or the mildew – we get rid of it. And we still do most jobs in just one day.” Safety tubs are one of their specialties: as many people age, they find that getting into and out of a regular bathtub becomes increasingly difficult, and a safety tub may be the solution. “A lot of us are thinking about our parents as they get older, and converting a bathtub into a walk-in safety tub or a shower can be a great way to give them greater independence and enable them to stay in their homes longer,” says Simms. “We also offer assisted showers and seats – all products that are user-friendly and safe.” Re-Bath’s showroom, where you can see samples of all their products, including the DuraBath SSP, plus a number of full bathroom mockups, is located at 6570 E 41st St., across from Home Depot.

DDoes Weight Loss Surgery Work? This is a question Dr. Ladd Atkins, D.O., bariatric surgeon for Lap-Band® Center of Oklahoma gets asked quite often. By Derek and Becky Taylor There are various types of weight loss surgery. Which type of surgery is right for you depends on your health, doctor’s advice, weight loss goals, and what is covered by your insurance plan. The Lap-Band® Center of Oklahoma uses only the LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System by Allergan. According to Dr. Atkins, “It is by far the safest weight loss surgery device on the market today.” Dr. Atkins explains that the LAP-BAND® System is much safer than stomach stapling or gastric bypass surgery because it’s minimally invasive, using laparoscopy. This process is the least invasive way to use surgery to reduce the amount of food the stomach can hold. “It’s less invasive than gall bladder surgery,” Dr. Adkins explains. The LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System restricts how much the stomach can hold by placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach. There is no cutting or stapling needed to divide the upper stomach pouch from the lower stomach. The result is that

Brent Bailey has lost 160 pounds after his gastric banding surgery utilizing the Lap-Band® AP System by Allergan. patients take in less food. Yet at the same time, the stomach digests nutrients and calories in a normal way. The ideal patient has a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or higher with at least one comorbidity (secondary disorder or disease), which typically includes type II diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis.

The patient generally wants to lose 80 to 100 pounds and is motivated to lose the weight. The benefits of having the surgery include 50 to 80 percent excess weight loss, high success rate, it’s adjustable, can reverse type II diabetes, quick recovery time, and is totally reversible. The surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis but

sometimes involves an overnight stay. Patients are up and walking within hours of the surgery. “It is our goal for the patient to succeed,” states Roberta Wagle, bariatric coordinator. “After the surgery, I follow up with the patient regularly, set up support group meetings, and answer any questions they have.” Follow-ups are essential to achieving one’s weight loss goals and are generally done four to six weeks apart. According to Dr. Atkins, “Your follow-up meeting is always with me and generally involves measuring your weight loss against your goals and a slight adjustment of your LAP-BAND®, if needed. We want to get you into the ‘green zone’ (optimal band adjustment area). Patients that are well-followed and well-adjusted have an 80 percent or better chance of achieving their weight loss goals. We want you to feel like you’re part of a family on your weight loss journey.” Success stories abound. One story involves Brent Bailey, singles pastor at Rhema Bible Church in Broken Arrow. Brent had been overweight all his life. You name the diet and he tried

Page 21

it. He would lose a little weight and then gain it back, often with a few extra pounds. Brent had read about the LAP-BAND® System and decided the time was right in October of 2009. “In less than a month after the surgery, I was off my medications,” he says. “This was the best decision I ever made!” Fifteen months later, Brent had lost 160 pounds. And he has never felt or looked better. Brent now goes to the Lap-Band® Center of Oklahoma for periodic adjustments and attends the bi-monthly seminars, when time permits, to share his experience with others. Free seminars are held the second and fourth Thursday of the month to introduce the procedure to prospective patients and answer their questions. “If you are seriously overweight, at least go to the seminar,” says Brent. The LAP-BAND® System by Allergan is FDA approved for patients with a BMI of 30 and above. It is the only adjustable gastric banding system to have received that approval level. For more information or to reserve your seat, call Lap-Band® Center of Oklahoma at (918) 392-2806. It is part of Pinnacle Specialty Hospital and is located at 2408 E. 81st St. For more information, contact

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

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

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

DDon’t Miss the Mane Event The third annual fundraiser benefitting the Tulsa Boys’ Home will take place Saturday, July 21 and feature world-famous horseman Dick Pieper.

By Michael Lail World-famous horseman Dick Pieper will demonstrate his horsemanship skills at Tulsa Boys’ Home’s third annual “Mane Event” fundraiser on Saturday, July 21 this year! The Mane Event kicks off at 9 a.m. at Tulsa Boys’ Home’s Sherman E. Smith Arena, located at 2727 S. 137th W. Ave. in Sand Springs.

The Mane Event this year is a unique opportunity to see and learn from a truly great horseman! Pieper is considered the “Grandfather of Reining” as well as a World Class Cutting competitor. Dick has won national recognition showing his horse “Mr. Jim 45” to the title of AQHA Honor Roll Reining Stallion in 1972. In 1977, he won the NRHA Futurity, and the Co-Reserve Champion of the Futurity in 1979. That same year, he also won his first

GGet Away for a Weekend Eufaula’s Whole Hawg Days Festival celebrates its 28th season July 26-28. By Sheryl Sowell Do you want to take a summer vacation, but just can’t afford a big trip somewhere far away? Consider a “staycation” in Eufaula, Oklahoma the last weekend in July. A carnival, rodeo, crafts for kids, parade, poker run on Lake Eufaula, car show, arts and crafts, barbecue cook-off and sandwich giveaway are just a few of the festivities featured at the annual Whole Hawg Days Festival in Eufaula, July 26-28. Admission is free, and organizers say there truly is something for the entire family to enjoy. The reason for the birth of the festival 28 years ago is the Whole Hawg Days BBQ competition, according to Jimmie Phelan, executive director of Eufaula Area Chamber of Commerce. “This is a great way to prove just how good you can really cook that barbecue,” she said. The cook-off is set for Saturday, July 28, with judging beginning at 3 p.m. Cash prizes will be awarded, and the public is invited to sample all of the competitors’ cooking for free, Phelan said.

Last year’s 2nd place winner in the Poker Run, Kenny Gonzales, with Jimmie Phelan, executive director of the Eufaula Area Chamber of Commerce. At 7 on Saturday morning, the Poker Run begins at Eufaula Cove Marina, with participants hailing from several states to compete for 1st place, and as much as $45,000 in prize money will be given away, Phelan said. Outlying marinas participating in the event include Cole’s Evergreen, No. 9, Belle Starr, and Eufaula Cove Marina as the host site. For the necessary entry forms for the poker run and

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

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

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

‘pediatrics’ and stop there,” says Dr. Tate. “But we treat both grownups and little people.” On May 7, Grassroots Healthcare celebrated its one year anniversary, and Dr. Tate says response to their type of service has grown recently. “I had a physician friend in Texas who opened this kind of clinic and

homeowner policies up to 35 percent for stone-coated or metal roofs. “When we install our metal roofing products, we put a layer of insulation under the roof that should save customers money on both their heating and cooling utility bills,” he explained. When asked by customers how long he thinks a metal roof will really last, Greg answers, “I don’t know. We’ve only been in business for 30 years!” You’ll definitely want to check out Community Builders’ metal roof deals that will save you money on installation. You’ll also receive a Green Energy Barrier installed that employs advanced space age technology. With the Energy Barrier, Greg says customers can expect to save from 20 to 40 percent on cooling

bills and a little less on heating. Community also offers 12 months “same as cash” or easy low payment plans to suit you and your budget. “When you install a traditional shingle to your home, it does nothing to improve the home’s value,” says Greg. “With Community Builders’ metal or stone-coated metal shingles, your home’s value will improve.” Some of the other quality products you’ll find at Community Builders include Jacuzzi walk-in tubs, custom-built sunrooms that let you enjoy the outdoors in comfort regardless of the weather or season, Cedar Ridge Vinyl Siding that provides your home with the look of freshly painted cedar without the upkeep of traditional wood

Go Where the Auction Is continued from page 1 remaining in this part of the state. The company has been conducting weekly auctions in Tulsa since the early 1960s, and the public auction has been running for the past 15 years. “Moving the public auction from Saturday mornings to Monday evenings has provided an increase in the number of vehicles sold each week as well as enabled us to upgrade the quality of vehicles we feature in our auctions,” said Monte. Bilingual help is always available on the lot and in the auction barn, and America’s Auto Auction provides a great opportunity to buy pre-owned cars and trucks at wholesale prices. Approximately 150 to 200 vehicles go on the auction block each Monday evening, and you will see all makes and models. Many vehicles are sold with no reserve, and prices range from $500 and up. The experienced staff at America’s Auto Auction helps set you at ease, making it an easy process to buy or sell a vehicle. If you’ve never been to one of the auctions, Monte invites you to go online to the website, www.americasautoauction.com, and click on “public auctions” for a preview list of the vehicles being offered each Monday evening. You will also be able to review the step-by-step process, which shows you how simple it really is to buy or sell a vehicle. Information is presented in both English and Spanish. You may also visit the lot on any Monday after 1 p.m. to view vehicles that will be auctioned. You will not be able to drive them at that time, but you will be able to start them to see that everything is working properly or see if a vehicle might need some work or attention. If you’re selling a vehicle, you’ll be glad to know that payment will be made to you the next working day if your vehicle has sold at auction.

Lower Your Utility Bills professionalism and dedication to customer service. “We’re grateful to be able to provide outstanding products and services to our clients and are thankful for the opportunity they’ve given us to earn their business,” he said. Now is a great time to be thinking about roofs. Greg says a common shingle has an average life expectancy of only seven years, and a quality, top-of-theline shingle should last about 11 years. Community Builders is currently featuring metal shingles and stone-coated metal shingles that carry 50-year labor and materials warranties. Yes, they cost more than run-of-the-mill composite shingles, but compare the life expectancies. Greg says that most insurance companies also discount premiums on

There are two ways to sell or buy a car. If the seller places a vehicle on the “red light,” it will be sold “as is.” The vehicle is sold with no warranty, no guaranties. If the seller places a vehicle on the “green light,” it will be sold with the assurance that the engine, transmission, and rear end are in working order, and you will have the opportunity to drive the vehicle before leaving the grounds. Every vehicle is posted with a minimum bid price. Again, you may call or stop by America’s Auto Auction, or visit online, for step-by-step details instructing you how to buy or sell a vehicle. Cars arrive for each Monday’s auction right up until the 6 p.m. announcement that the auction is beginning. Therefore, the largest selection of vehicles can be seen just prior to starting time. A video is shown in the lobby for the benefit of both English and Spanish speaking patrons. It’s not just any auction – it’s America’s Auto Auction. “We understand how important it is to our customers that they receive excellent customer service whether buying or selling a car,” says Monte. “We want to end every day believing that we have done our very best to satisfy each customer before they leave the America’s Auto Auction facility. Our entire staff is dedicated to making it happen.”

EEat Your Yard The Tulsa Herb Society hosts author Nan K. Chase, who will discuss how to have a beautiful landscape and eat from it too, on July 9 at the Tulsa Garden Center. By Tina Lynn Join the Tulsa Herb Society as they feast from their own backyards and enjoy an evening with Nan K. Chase, journalist and author of “Eat Your Yard!” She will be in Tulsa on Monday,

July 9 at the Tulsa Garden Center, 2435 S. Peoria Ave., from 7 p.m. to 8:30 pm. “Eat Your Yard!” proves that you can have your beautiful landscape and eat it too! Sure,

vegetables are nice, but you don’t have to rip up your front lawn in order to have a food-producing garden. Chase’s book proposes a new way to use the garden efficiently. Fruit trees, shrubs, vines, herbs and flowers provide beautiful blossoms, foliage and structure, while also offering fruits, nuts, herbs, seeds and tuberous roots that you can eat fresh or preserve for yearround enjoyment. Chase gives firsthand information and advice for growing 30 plants that offer the best landscape features and culinary uses. Recipes ranging from savory cherry sauce to pickled grape leaves to mint wine to grilled yucca demonstrate the infinite culinary possibilities your yard can offer. Ms. Chase writes about architecture and landscape design from her home in western North Carolina. She is the co-author of “Bark House Style” and author of “Asheville: A History,” and maintains an active lecture and demonstration schedule for garden and landscape organizations, writers groups, and cooking schools.

Author Nan K. Chase will discuss her latest book at the Tulsa Garden Center this month.

“Eat Your Yard!” is filled with information on edible landscaping options. Her work has also appeared in the New York Times, Smithsonian, Fine Gardening, Architectural Record and Southern Living. She lives in Asheville, North Carolina, where she is a contributing writer to WNC Magazine. Reservations are not required to this event, which is

sponsored by the Tulsa Herb Society. Admission is free.

MAKEOVER

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

iBlock®

Robotic Assisted Total Knee Replacement Available exclusively with Dr. Ronald LaButti

This brand-new technology produces a 3-D image of the knee which allows for superior surgical accuracy and alignment. When compared to more traditional forms of navigation, the iBlock cutting guide provides a significant advantage not only for the surgeon, but for the patient as well. When a joint is replaced, even a miniscule misalignment between the implant and the bones can harm joint performance and longevity. This innovative technique allows for precise measurements made dynamically in real time. There are only five “iBlock” units in the United States, and this technology is available in Tulsa only with Dr. LaButti.

AAkira Sushi Is On a Roll

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

By Lorrie Ward When Quinton Wong and Chef Huy Huynh decided to open a sushi bar, they considered Tulsa as a possible location. After all, they had worked together at Fuji Restaurant in Tulsa for 10 years. But when they saw that Tulsa had plenty of sushi bars already, they looked to outlying communities and decided that Owasso was the perfect place for Akira Sushi Bar. “Many people in the Owasso and Rogers County area were driving all the way to Tulsa for sushi,” says Wong. “And we liked Owasso – it is a nice, family-oriented community.” To show support for its new hometown, Akira Sushi Bar has already focused on several local charities and causes, such as “Turn Owasso Pink” for breast cancer research and the Garden Festival (to raise scholarship money). “We believe in community involvement,” says Wong. “It is our way of giving back.” Akira Sushi Bar opened its doors in February of 2012, and Wong and Chef Huynh would like to welcome both those who love sushi already and those who

clean atmosphere, with seating available in a quiet booth area, a more social open arena, or the sushi bar itself, where they can watch a game on the overhead television or observe as Chef Huynh and staff prepare their order. Chef Huynh has no problem with being watched as he makes the food. “People find it interesting to watch,” he says. “And it motivates even better and cleaner techniques.” Wine, saki and beer are on hand at the bar, and Akira Sushi Bar will soon be serving cocktail style drinks as well. Wong and Huynh encourage people to visit the website at www.akirasushibars.com to view a more extensive menu, and they have asked customers to find them on Facebook for daily specials and happy hours. Even if you have seen the extensive menu, Wong and Chef Huynh want you to know you are still never locked into previously planned choices. “Customers can come in and visit with the chef and have us put together what they want. Don’t be afraid to be creative.”
