Fowler Toyota Grand Opening Celebration Fowler Toyota of Tulsa provides quality new and pre-owned Toyota cars and trucks, emphasizing high-quality customer service. By Duane Blankenship Momentum Toyota of Tulsa is under new ownership and is now Fowler Toyota of Tulsa. Located on the Broken Arrow Expressway at Sheridan Road, Fowler’s goal is to be Tulsa’s leading Toyota dealer. The Fowler family is Oklahoma born and bred, and has four familyowned dealerships in Norman, with its fifth now in Tulsa. The new ownership of Fowler Toyota of Tulsa became official on October 3. Fowler has made many improvements to the dealership and vastly expanded inventory. A grand opening celebration is taking place through December 31 and is featuring outstanding sales incentives on select vehicles, as well as many

drawings for door prizes. Full-sized Toyota Tundras will be offered at zero percent interest for 72 months, and Camrys will be available at zero percent for 60 months as part of the grand opening activities. General Manager Ken Wilkens said, “Fowler Toyota has a huge inventory of both select preowned and certified pre-owned vehicles from which customers may make their selections. Our certified pre-owned vehicles have undergone a rigorous 128point inspection to be qualified. When a new Toyota dealership has been established, they qualify to receive extra shipments of vehicles to support grand opening activities, and we will have a great supply of both pre-owned

and new vehicles available during our grand opening.” Toyota says the 2013 Toyota Tundra trucks are simply the most powerful vehicles on the road today, and Tundra provides the best value, good looks and best safety features in its 2013 model. The full-sized Tundra is available in regular cab, double cab, and crew max body styles. Some of the Tundra’s specifications include a 310 hp, 4.6 liter aluminum i-Force V8 engine, electronic ignition system, 5-speed and 6-speed ECT with intelligence, rearwheel drive, power-assisted front and rear disc brakes, fold-up rear seats, and a turbo charger. The 2013 also includes larger fuel (continued on page 28)

STRAIGHT-FORWARD, NO-NONSENSE TALK ABOUT YOUR MONEY

The Cost of The Twelve Days of Christmas in Oklahoma BY MELANIE HASTY-GRANT

Every year since 1984 PNC Wealth Management has released its Christmas Price Index. The PNC Christmas Price Index is a humorous national commodity price index based on the cost of the items in the popular Christmas carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” It measures the changing cost of goods over time. I thought it would be interesting to compare the cost of those items from local vendors, here in Oklahoma where possible, to see if the cost of the items would be less than what the national index numbers were. In other words, I wanted to try to do “The Twelve Days of Christmas” on a budget and see if I could do better. And low and behold, the cost in many cases (not all) were lower! Hallelujah! It is true that the cost of living is less in the great state of Oklahoma!

The following are my findings: ‘12 Oklahoma ‘11 National 1 Partridge $23 $15 1 Pear Tree $19 $170 2 Turtle Doves $150 $125 3 French Hens $36 $150 4 Calling Birds $516 $520 5 Gold Rings $975 $64 6 Geese-a-Laying $67 $162 7 Swans-a-Swimming $8295 $6300 8 Maids-a-Milkin $58 $58 9 Ladies Dancing $765 $6294 10 Lords-a-Leaping $500 $4767 11 Pipers Piping $1925 $2428 12 Drummers Drumming $2100 $2630 Total $15,429 $23,683

So, just buying the items for the 12th day alone, with one round of all 12 presents, would cost $15,429.14.

Now, as you can see, the biggest cost “savings” came from the dancing ladies, lords-a-leaping, pipers piping, and drummers drumming. That means that cost of services, therefore, wages are less. However, in all fairness, this savings may be because I hired each of these for only one hour of service. In the national study, they may have hired them for longer (their study is not specific about how many hours they used them). Being budget conscious, I figured an hour would do. By far, the highest priced item are the silly swans. Who would have figured? And the lowest priced item on the index was the pear tree, coming in at a whopping $19. What a deal! One more thing, “The True Cost of Christmas” is calculated by following the exact instructions in the song (buying a partridge in a pear tree on each of the twelve days, buying two turtle doves from the second day onward, for a total of 22 turtle doves, etc.) for the complete set of 364 items. The “True Cost of an Oklahoma

www.ValueNews.com

Christmas” would cost $75,997.98. Wow! As a penny pinching, budget minded Money Maven, may I recommend that you don’t! If you want to do something really special for your “true love” as the song says, then print the lyrics off of the internet and video yourself singing the song on your phone and send it to them or post it on YouTube. It will make just as a lasting impression I am sure. Besides, what in the heck would you do with all these crazy birds once the deal was over? Geez! The price of each item is set as follows: The pear tree comes from Sander’s Nursery in Broken Arrow. The partridge, turtle doves, French hens, geese and swans are determined by The Tulsa Zoo. The price of a Canary (Calling bird) is from PetSmart in Owasso. JC Penney’s set the cost for the gold rings. The maids are assumed to be unskilled laborers earning the Federal Minimum Wage. The Tulsa Ballet provided the hourly cost of “guesting” for an hour for the lords-a-leaping. A Tulsa dance company provided estimates for the ladies dancing. The going-rate for drummers and pipers was provided by City of Tulsa Pipes and Drums. For more cheap Christmas gift ideas, call or email me and I will toss a couple of ideas your way along with helping you to invest your savings. For more information go to www.waterstonewealth.com.

PPrepare Now for Summer Fun Off season is a great time to build a pool and get your backyard ready for summer fun in the sun. By Duane Blankenship Pools Plus is family owned and operated by Josh Kingsley, his brother, Jay Kingsley, and their father, Danny Kingsley. The company builds swimming pools and outdoor living amenities such as kitchens, fireplaces, decking and patios. They also sell a variety of pool accessories and outdoor items that make being outdoors an A-plus experience. “We also provide services to help homeowners open, close and maintain their pools,” Josh said. Now is a great time to start planning and constructing your pool so that it will be finished prior to the time you’re ready to swim next summer. If you and your family have given thought to putting in an in-ground pool, contact Pools Plus and set up a meeting to discuss your vision and get an idea of what happens during the construction process. You can tell a Pools Plus representative exactly what you are envisioning. They will then determine if your concept will physically fit into the area on which you want to build your pool. You will discuss the process required and what it will cost to make your pool a reality.

A 3-D design of your pool will be provided to make sure you and Pools Plus are on the same page. If you’re building a new home and working with an

architect, Pools Plus is always willing to work with you and your architect to provide features and benefits you are looking for in your pool’s design and function. A meeting will be

Josh Kingsley, co-owner of Pools Plus, along with his brother, Jay, and father, Danny.

scheduled with you at the Pools Plus store to discuss the proposed pool design. You will have the opportunity to suggest modifications or changes to the design prior to final approvals. You can also see tile options, plaster colors, and discuss all the details you want to see in the final product. A Pools Plus assistant will help by suggesting colors, fabrics, and styles of umbrellas, tables, chairs, and lounges that will complement your new pool and add to your outdoor experience. Pools Plus also carries a variety of pool equipment and fun games to make family pool time even more enjoyable. Pools Plus will obtain necessary permits prior to starting construction. This usually takes about two weeks. An on-site layout will be completed for customer approval. Forms will be set and the pool will be dug and reinforced with rebar, plumbing will be laid, and the pool will be sprayed and tiled. The entire process takes about eight weeks from beginning to completion. Decking options include stamping, cool deck, acid stained

concrete, or flagstone. Other options available from Pools Plus include diving boards, slides, and custom water features including waterfalls. “It’s important for people to know that we do more of the construction process ‘in house’ than any other pool contractor in the area,” said Josh. “We dig the pools and do the plumbing and tiling ourselves.” Pools Plus uses respected area subcontractors for what little part they do not do. “You’ll find my brother, my dad, or me on site throughout the entire construction process,” Josh said. Check out Pools Plus on Facebook or visit their store, located by Bodean Restaurant & Market on 51st Street just east of Harvard.

One of her favorite things about the Rhonda Allison line is that it is so personalized. “Rhonda Allison has everything from a gentle enzyme peel to an acid peel,” she says. “This is important because certain individuals cannot handle an acid peel, but almost everyone can find an enzyme that works for them.” If a person has never had a chemical peel, Nicole recommends a spot test to see what works best on his or her skin. “When a client comes in for their holiday glow facial, we could do a quick test then,” she says. “Or if they are having their hair styled or their nails done, we could do it then as well.” Also featured for the holidays at Reveal Salon & Aesthetics is the Clarisonic

microdermabrasion and chemical peels from Rhonda Allison, a company famous not only for its quality skin products and variety of personalized chemical peels, but for its commitment to education and excellence in the aesthetic realm. Nicole so believes in these products that

at-home exfoliation system. Reveal offers both the Clarisonic Pro and Clarisonic Aria Pro, which are sold only in select salons, spas and medical offices, and are backed by a three-year warranty. With special prices for the holiday, the Clarisonic would be a great gift for your loved one – or a gift to your body’s biggest organ: your skin! Your hair is another part of your body that is constantly exposed to the elements. With a staff of qualified and experienced stylists (including a master barber), Reveal Salon & Aesthetics offers plenty of ways to help refresh those tresses to their most youthful shine and luster. To those who experience the frizz that comes with naturally wavy or curly hair (or Oklahoma’s humid weather), Nicole recommends the Brazilian Blowout, which is popular with many Hollywood stars. She describes it as “a system that takes frizz and wave out of hair, making it easier to style for several months.” Keratin Smoothing is another popular, long-term treatment for this problem offered at Reveal, but there are shorter term

solutions for softer, more manageable hair as well, such as Moroccanoil Deep Conditioning. Gift certificates are available and applicable to all products and services at Reveal Salon & Aesthetics, including manicures, OPI gel color and several lines of quality hair care products. You are invited to visit their Facebook page to find out about the latest deals and specials. Nicole also wants everyone to know that through December 24, for every Clarisonic system or Rhonda Allison product sold, she will donate a portion of the proceeds to DaySpring Villa, an organization committed to helping abused women and their children, which is currently adding assistance for human trafficking survivors. "I want to raise awareness about the DaySpring Villa; helping this organization is my way of giving back to the community. I love helping people, improving the condition of their skin, making them feel relaxed and pampered. I feel blessed to have this opportunity to help my clients and the DaySpring Villa at the same time."

CChristmas At The Movies The Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center presents classic songs from your favorite Christmas movies performed by the TCC Signature Symphony and other special guests on Sunday, December 16. By Adam J. Foreman This Christmas, come along with the TCC Signature Symphony, Broken Arrow Public Schools Fine Arts, and a whole host of other special guests for “Christmas At The Movies” on Sunday, December 16 at

2:30 p.m., at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center. It’s all part of the 2012-13 Spotlight Series. “This will be a truly collaborative effort from many wonderful entities in this

community,” said Mark Frie, executive director of the BAPAC and director of the show. “It is a unique opportunity as well for students of Broken Arrow to perform alongside a professional orchestra, which will actually be

the first time a full symphony has played in the BAPAC.” TCC’s Signature Symphony, along with artistic director G. Barry Epperly, will share the stage with dozens of Broken Arrow Public Schools students from band, orchestra and choir, as well as an elementary school children’s ensemble, plus a dance troupe from Moore’s Dance Studio in Broken Arrow and several other guests, including Mark and his wife, Kim Frie. Two BAPS teachers will also be a part of the Symphony, Sarah Richardson and Jeff Loud. “To have all that talent residing in our city is nothing short of amazing,” said Frie. “These students and teachers will come together with their diverse backgrounds and united under the banner of wonderful Christmas music that’s near and dear to many people’s hearts.” Selections from the show will include classics from the most beloved holiday films, including “White Christmas,” “Holiday Inn,” “The Polar Express,” “Miracle on 34th Street,” “It’s A Wonderful Life,” “A Charlie Brown Christmas,”

“How The Grinch Stole Christmas” and many more. It will also be a night to pay tribute to Ralph Blane, Broken Arrow’s favorite son, who wrote “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and other Hollywood classics. Epperly’s vision for the Signature Symphony, which was founded in 1978, has been one of much experience. As an arranger/producer for Disney Corporation, he worked with legends Duke Ellington, Johnny Mathis and Count Basie. During his service as conductor of the US Army Chamber Orchestra, he performed for three administrations and international dignitaries. He came to TCC in 1995, two years before the Signature Symphony was asked to become a professional orchestra-inresidence at the VanTrease Performing Arts Center. Patrons of the show will be treated to special holiday music before the show in the lobby. Santa Claus will also be available for free photos by the PAC’s giant Christmas tree.

Getting Rid of an Annoying Pain in the Neck Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma provided a light at the end of Jan Crismond’s tunnel of recurring discomfort in her neck.

By Cassie Woods Statistics show that 85 percent of people in the United States will suffer from back or neck pain at some point in their lives.

Jan Crismond was one of those people. That was before she discovered the Intervertebral Disc Decompression (IDD)

Jan Crismond said goodbye to neck pain after undergoing a series of treatments at Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma.

treatments available at Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma. Jan works right next door at Claremore Health Associates, Inc., yet she had never seen the IDD machines. She knew very little about the treatments until one of the doctors at the practice she works in made the suggestion. “I didn’t realize I suffered from osteoarthritis until Dr. Fortner diagnosed me with it during my exam, and I learned that Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma could be an option for me,” said Jan. IDD therapy is non-surgical and non-invasive. The procedure uses computer technology to target specific spinal segments. Pressure is relieved on the spine as the therapy recreates space for oxygen, water and nutrients to travel unimpeded throughout the spine. The final effect is rehydrated spinal discs through treatments that are safer, less expensive and less painful than surgery or injections. Jan’s IDD therapy consisted of 20 treatments beginning in August, the entire process lasting

about six weeks. During the first two weeks of her treatment, she received treatments five days a week. Jan reports that she felt a great improvement in her range of motion and comfort within the second week of treatment. From there, she alternated between two and three treatments a week until all 20 treatments had been performed. “Ebony administered treatments,” said Jan. “She was an absolute jewel – so gentle and caring. Each week she gradually increased the tension as my treatments progressed. She was always quick to ask if it was too much or too little. Because she really took the time to listen to and work with me, I never had any pain during treatments.” The therapy (which typically lasts 20 sessions) is intended to be a one-time process unless there is a re-injury or an advancement of a progressive illness. But in most cases, once is enough to have a life-changing difference. “It’s really the little things that I noticed to be the biggest differences,” said Jan. “Being able to turn my head to look over my shoulder while driving, improved range of motion in my neck, and even being able to sleep better. I used to have sinus problems that affected my sleep, and my treatment even helped to improve that.” Jan also stated that she used to feel a tingling, numb feeling down her arm every night and day that distracted her from her work or daily routine. She

reports that even though nothing in her environment has changed, since receiving the treatments, she has not had that sensation again. Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma can treat both the cervical (neck) and the lumbar (lower back) areas. In addition to neck pain similar to what Jan was experiencing, IDD treatments have been found to be effective in patients with herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome, sciatica and low back pain. The treatments require a doctor’s prescription and are covered by most insurances. A patient can be referred from their primary care doctor or may be fully evaluated by one of the three doctors at Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma to determine their candidacy. You can obtain further information, take a virtual tour of the office, read patient testimonials, and fill out the pre-qualifying form to determine your candidacy for treatments by visiting the website at www.sdoback.com. You may also call Ebony at (918) 341-1250 to fill out the pre-qualifying form.

WWe Salute You Mazzio’s recently donated a percentage of their sales to the Folds of Honor Foundation, a non-profit organization that assists the spouses and children of soldiers killed or disabled in service. By Sheryl Sowell In 2011, Mazzio’s Italian Eatery celebrated 50 years in business. According to Greg Lippert, president and CEO, the company has about 1,900 employees in the Tulsa area, many of whom have served in the armed forces. As part of their 50th anniversary, Mazzio’s chose to honor these employees by inviting Major Dan Rooney, founder of the Folds of Honor Foundation, to speak to the company. In addition, Mazzio’s donated a percentage of each pizza sale to the Folds of Honor Foundation, beginning in mid-June of this year and lasting through August. Mazzio’s was proud to present the foundation with a check for $10,000. Major Dan Rooney founded the Folds of Honor Foundation to ensure that no family is left behind in the fight to preserve American freedom. Scholarships and other forms of assistance are given to the spouses or children of soldiers killed or disabled in service to the United States. The Selbys, family of Mazzio’s founder Ken Selby, presented the $10,000 check along with Mazzio’s manager

Mike Solak, who served three tours of duty in Iraq, to Major Dan Rooney. “We are very pleased to be able to support such a

worthwhile cause,” said Lippert. “Too often we hear the news of men and women who have lost their lives serving our country. This organization is invaluable in

helping these soldiers’ families find healing, hope and opportunity through scholarships and other assistance.” The Folds of Honor

Foundation was founded in 2007 by Major Dan Rooney, a former F-16 pilot, golf course owner, PGA Professional and USGA member. A major in the Air National Guard and a decorated military aviator, Rooney has served three combat tours in Iraq. After returning from his second tour, Major Rooney witnessed a profound situation that drove him to create the Folds of Honor Foundation. According to the Folds of Honor website, over 700,000 soldiers have been killed or disabled in the military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than 87 percent of the dependents affected by the recent wars do not qualify for federal scholarship assistance, meaning that over a million Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation New Dawn dependents need assistance. For more information, visit www.foldsofhonor.org. Lippert says that Mazzio’s has received a tremendous amount of positive feedback from both employees of the company as well as customers in their support of this incredible organization. “Everyone is very connected to the cause, and Mazzio’s is proud to be a part of it.”

Helping Students Affected by MS Pursue Their Dreams Ten students in the state were awarded scholarships by the National MS Society: Oklahoma to support their educational goals.

By Brandi Moore The National Multiple Sclerosis Society: Oklahoma has announced this year’s recipients of its annual scholarship program: Taylor Aldridge, Sean Barger, Christopher Basden, Whitney Force, Colby Gibson, Alli Martin, Shelby Noland, Jessica Potter, Macayla Potter and Shelby Reeves. The annual scholarship program helps students affected by multiple sclerosis pursue a college or technical school education. It is open to high school seniors who live with MS or have a parent who does, or anybody living with MS who has not yet been to a post-secondary school. In addition to the emotional toll, MS can have a substantial financial impact on a family. The direct and indirect costs of MS, including lost wages – even for those with health insurance – are estimated at more than $70,000 annually per household. This makes funding a college education that much harder. “If I could, I would want my dad’s MS to be given to me for 10 years so he could feel good again and be given a time of rest, but I know this is not possible,” said Sean Barger, Broken Arrow

scholarship winner. “My parents have always encouraged me to complete my education so I can fulfill my goals and dreams not only for myself but for the family I hope to have one day.” “We are pleased to say that the National MS Society: Oklahoma provided 10 high school seniors with college scholarships for the 2012 school year,” said Sharleen Dupee, director of programs and services for the National MS Society: Oklahoma. “This scholarship program exists to help highly qualified students who have been diagnosed with MS or who have a parent with MS achieve their dreams of going to college.” The Society established its scholarship program nine years ago, and it immediately became a source of great encouragement for families concerned that MS might put college out of reach. This year, 409 new awards and 236 renewals totaling $1,136,175 were presented nationwide. Applications are evaluated on financial need, academic record, leadership and volunteer activities, a statement of educational and career goals, and letters of recommendation. Applicants are

also asked to provide a personal statement describing the impact MS has had on their life. Scholarships range from $1,000 to $3,000 and typically cover one year, although a limited number of awards may exceed this amount. “For the Barger family and the hundreds of thousands diagnosed with MS across the country, there are very few known sources of scholarship assistance specially targeted for these families,” said Dupee. “MS shouldn’t stand in the way of an education, and we are hopeful this program will give families some relief.” Information about scholarships for 2013-14 will be available on the National MS Society website on October 1, 2012. For more information, call 1-800-344-4867 or visit www.nationalMSsociety.org/ scholarship. Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with

Scholarship recipient and Broken Arrow resident Sean Barger. the disease. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with at least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the United States and over 2.1 million worldwide. The National MS Society addresses the challenges of each person affected

by MS by funding cutting-edge research, driving change through advocacy, facilitating professional education, collaborating with MS organizations around the world, and providing programs and services designed to help people with MS and their families move forward with their lives.

Tulsa Urology Adds New Locations Dr. Richard Saint has expanded his offices to Tulsa and Owasso in addition to Broken Arrow.

By Duane Blankenship Richard B. Saint, M.D., F.A.C.S., is recognized as a regional authority in the field of bladder and testis cancer as well as other urological malignancies. His practice is located in the St. John Medical Office in Broken Arrow, north of the Broken Arrow Expressway at 61st Street and Elm Place. Dr. Saint also has two new offices, in the Kelly building at St. Francis South in Tulsa and in the medical office building at St. John Owasso. Dr. Saint completed his undergraduate studies, medical school internship and residency at Indiana University and was recruited to the Tulsa area, where he has practiced for the past 23 years. His specialized training was with surgeons who developed a form of urinary diversion called the Indiana Pouch. This procedure revolutionized urinary tract reconstruction for patients who had required removal of their bladder because of cancer. In 1992, Dr. Saint was the first in Oklahoma to perform a bladder replacement using the small intestine. This procedure allows patients to urinate on their own

even though they no longer have their bladder. The doctor also trained at Indiana University with surgeons and medical oncologists who were successful in making testis cancer the most curable solid organ cancer in medicine. Dr. Saint is recognized as being the most experienced surgeon in the region for both of these diseases and is highly experienced in all areas of urological oncology. Dr. Saint has welcomed Rachel Wilkinson, A.R.N.P., to his practice. As an advanced registered nurse practitioner, Ms. Wilkinson has completed graduate-level education requirements and treats patients through comprehensive history taking, physical exams, and ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests. To become licensed to practice, she has been nationally board certified in her area of specialty. Ms. Wilkinson has acquired the expert knowledge base, complex decision-making skills, and clinical competencies for expanded practice in the field of urology. According to Dr. Saint, “There are only a handful of nurse

practitioners in the state of Oklahoma dealing exclusively with this specialty. Ms. Wilkinson’s patients absolutely love her.” Rachel Wilkinson was born and raised in Oklahoma and attended the University of Oklahoma in Norman. Following completion of her prerequisites, she transferred to OU-Tulsa, where she received her bachelor of science in nursing. She earned her master of science degree from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. She loves Oklahoma and appreciates being able to serve the wonderful citizens of our state. Dr. Saint and Ms. Wilkinson consult with each other on all their patients. Dr. Saint regularly has patients that are referred to him by other urologists due to the nature and complexity of the surgical procedures that have been recommended. Dr. Saint and his staff are committed to excellence in urological care and to superior responsiveness to referring physicians, their staffs, and the patients. “Ms. Wilkinson and I genuinely care

Richard B. Saint, M.D., F.A.C.S. about people,” he says, “and Tulsa Urology is committed to cooperating with healthcare systems to find ways to make improvements in our interactions with patients.” Dr. Saint has served as president of the Oklahoma State Urological Association, a member of the Admissions Committee of the University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, and Chief of Urology at St. John Medical Center. He is also a clinical assistant professor of urology

at the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Saint makes you feel at ease from the moment you meet him. It’s very natural to respect and trust him. Please visit his website for more information.

PPerfect Gifts that Last a Lifetime J. David Jewelry offers gift-giving selections that are exciting, beautiful and always appreciated. By Duane Blankenship J. David Jewelry is family owned and operated by Joel and Kendra Wiland, and their son Landon has recently joined their staff. If you’re familiar with J. David Jewelry, you know that Joel always has unusual, exciting and beautiful jewelry on display in the Broken Arrow store. You may also know that Joel is always on the cutting edge with his creative thinking and valueadded promotions that have great appeal to those who shop J. David, especially around the holidays. This year, J. David Jewelry is participating in the Philbrook Festival of Trees, an event in which guests enjoy an unforgettable evening and a chance to claim the year’s hottest items featured at a benefit auction. The annual Festival of Trees is a Christmas event spotlighting local artists and businesses and their beautifully designed custom trees that are auctioned off to benefit the Philbrook Foundation. The featured J. David Jewelry Christmas tree will highlight three items with a total value of $1,000,000, to be sold at auction at the event on Friday,

November 16. The auction will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. For those who are not in the market to spend a million dollars, J. David is always a great place to shop for any occasion and any budget. With Christmas just around the corner, Joel promises that his store will be stocked with hundreds of items

that are sure to please any recipient and will last a lifetime. You can always count on J. David Jewelry to have the latest in jewelry trends as well as classic traditions. If you’re interested in a custom creation – a truly one-ofa-kind piece – J. David is the place to go. Designer Frank

J. David Jewelry is family owned and operated. Shown are owners Joel and Kendra Wiland and their son, Landon. The latest addition to the family is Max.

Tremonti is a recognized artist in his profession and utilizes a computer-aided cad-cam program to design personalized custom jewelry pieces. “Frank is a master of his trade,” says Joel. Once Frank completes a jewelry design on the cad-cam, it is downloaded to a 3-D printer that reproduces the design in a plastic material that is used in the actual production process. Master Jeweler Nathan Winn is also a part of J. David’s design and repair team. Diamonds have long been a specialty at J. David Jewelry, and Joel and Kendra take great pride in their selection and presentation of diamonds of many colors. Some of the rarest colors are reds and pinks, and J. David usually has a variety on display. When asked how he always seems to have such beautiful and bright diamonds in his store, Joel says, “Kendra and I make two trips each year to Antwerp, Belgium. Because we are members of the Independent Jewelers Organization, we are allowed to make selections from some of the world’s best diamonds.” As you do your Christmas

shopping, remember that J. David has products to accommodate virtually any budget. The Pandora line of bracelets, necklaces and charms are ever-popular gifts. And chocolate jewelry is still a very popular selection for any occasion, any time of the year. You will find a variety of chocolate-colored jewelry available at J. David in diamonds, pearls and gold. Each chocolate item is not only unusual, but exquisitely crafted. Whoever you have on your shopping list, visit J. David Jewelry for truly unique gift ideas. They even have some very interesting selections for men. Joel says, “Come see us this holiday season and give us a chance to make your gift selections ones that will last a lifetime.”

EEye Problems in Your Child’s Sight Primary Eye Care Associates urges parents to have their children’s eyes examined by an optometrist, rather than relying on school vision screenings. By Lorrie Ward Oftentimes people associate vision problems with aging, making the assumption that children are born with perfect vision. Numerous studies, however, contradict this notion. The American Optometric Association (AOA) estimates that “nearly 25 percent of school-age children have vision problems.” Yet, 86 percent of first-grade students have never received any type of eye exam. It should come as no surprise, then, that 60 percent of “problem learners” have vision problems that go undetected. “Eye exams for children entering school are critical for early intervention,” says Dr. Hinkle of Primary Eye Care Associates of Owasso. “This is needed to treat diseases and disorders that can lead to poor school performance and can ultimately affect a child’s quality of life.” According to Dr. Hinkle and his colleague Dr. Cash, there are certain telltale signs a child may be experiencing vision difficulty. Are his eyes or eyelids noticeably red? Does the child

Dr. Hinkle of Primary Eye Care Associates in Owasso gives a patient an eye exam. rub his eyes a lot or complain of frequent headaches? Does he turn or tilt the head as if trying to focus with just one eye? Does he avoid tasks that would require a lot of visual focus, such as coloring and reading, or hand-eye coordinated activities, such as doing puzzles? If the answer to these questions is

“yes,” then the child most certainly needs an eye exam. One might ask, “But aren’t there routine vision screenings at every school?” According to studies cited by the AOA, these screenings are designed to detect potential issues, but are not comprehensive enough and are not diagnostic. “Vision screening

programs that are well-designed and properly administered in the public or private schools should be utilized to assist in the identification of children in need of care who have not had access to comprehensive examination services,” states the AOA. Vision screenings are only used to test visual acuity, while a comprehensive eye exam given by optometrists involves assessment and possible treatment of this and other problems involving binocular vision, refractive status, oculomotility, and general ocular health. The AOA also recommends assessments begin at age three, rather than waiting until the child enters school. Shelley Moody, office manager of Owasso’s Primary Eye Care Associates, provides a perfect example of the importance of early eye examination in children. “My sister couldn’t see well from the time she was born, and in school she was moved to the front of the class – where she still couldn’t see,” she recounts. “When she finally got her first pair of glasses, she told our mother she was amazed that

those things on the trees were leaves and not green cotton balls!” Shelly goes on to explain that it is so important that parents and optometrists work together on behalf of the child because, like her sister, a child does not actually realize for herself that she is not seeing properly. “Children who start out with poor vision don’t have anything to compare things to,” she explains. “They only know what they are born with.” To schedule an eye exam for your child or yourself, contact one of the fine optometrists with any area Primary Eye Care Associates, located in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Collinsville, Owasso and Sand Springs.

HHoney-Kissed Ham for the Holidays What could beat a delicious honey-kissed ham (or smoked turkey) from The Hamlet for your Christmas dinner? By Lorrie Ward When you hear the word “hamlet,” you may think of an idyllic village with cozy, thatched cottages set in a medieval countryside. Or you may think of the famous Shakespeare play by the same name. But chances

are if you are from the Tulsa area, when you hear “The Hamlet,” you automatically think of “honey-kissed” ham or smoked turkey, perfect for any Christmas feast. The Hamlet still prepares

Crystal Vivion and her son.

the hams that made them famous, and the also they offer so much more for the holidays. Crystal Vivion, who operates the two Tulsa Hamlet locations with her sister, owner Shannon Hester, and her father, Gordon Pendergraft, points out that many wonderful products can combine with a Hamlet ham or turkey to make a perfect gift. “A Hamlet ham gift basket typically consists of a ham or center cut, along with chipotle sauce, cream cheese and crackers, and a gourmet jelly,” she says. “We custom build these baskets according to your price point.” Delivery and shipping are available for both hams and ham baskets. Other types of gift baskets can be built at The Hamlet as well, using any of the wide range of fine gourmet products available: Funky Chunky Popcorn (regular, sea salt, candy cane and caramel), Stonewall Kitchen, Robert Rothchild’s Farm, My Dad’s Salsa, Bellini Mixers, Laredo’s Bloody Mary Mixers, Southbend Chocolate Candied Popcorn, and much more. The Hamlet displays several shelves of Stonewall Kitchen gift boxes, featuring

choices such as Blueberry Breakfast, which includes pancake and waffle mix, Wild Maine Blueberry syrup and jam, and a holiday tea towel – all wrapped up in a lovely gift box and ready to put under the tree. Cooks in the crowd will also want to check out another of Crystal’s favorite products: Stonewall Kitchen’s Pies in a Jar, which come in a wide variety of flavors, from apple to cherry to pumpkin, and can either be placed right into the pie shell or only require minimal, perishable ingredients before cooking. Pies in a Jar also make great ice cream toppings. For the holiday, Crystal especially recommends the Pecan or Chocolate Pecan, which only require the addition of eggs – taking much of the work out of a flavorful but normally labor-intensive holiday classic.

FFeeling the Holiday Stress? Let Akira Sushi Bar help – they offer catering for parties of all sizes and gift cards that make perfect presents.

By Lorrie Ward Holiday festivities are supposed to be joyous and fun, but the enjoyment can quickly dissipate for those who put in hours of hard work and planning to create a festive atmosphere for everyone else. If your month before Christmas is starting to give you nightmares where “visions of sugar plums” are supposed to be, why not reduce some of this stress by letting Akira Sushi Bar in Owasso cater your holiday party or gettogether? “We do all kinds of parties – holiday, birthday, meetings – and no party is too big or too small,” says Quinton Wong, owner of Owasso’s Akira Sushi Bar. “We don’t have a set catering menu, but work with each customer to design their own unique menu.” All kinds of options are available for your party. Quinton reports that some people choose to pick up their orders, while others like to have a personal chef on site. Clients can even opt to have a sushi bar set up on site. Like the catering menu, the level of party assistance is uniquely geared to the client’s tastes and expectations for their party. Even if you are not planning

an event, the holiday hustle and bustle can certainly make you too tired to feel like making

dinner some days. After a long day of shopping or work, why not relax in Akira Sushi Bar’s

Owners Quinton Wong and Huy Huynh of Akira Sushi Bar.

comfortable atmosphere? Akira not only serves a full lunch and dinner menu, but also hosts a happy hour from 3 to 5 p.m. every day, during which they serve half-price appetizers, $2 domestic beer, and $3 hot sake. In fact, Quinton recommends hot sake and sushi as a great wintertime treat any time of day. “It will be sure to warm you up!” he says. You can also check some items off your Christmas shopping list by purchasing gift cards for family and friends at Akira Sushi Bar, which have no expiration date and with balances that can be checked online. While you are unwinding at Akira, you will want to check out their new, updated menu, offering even more sushi rolls, entrées, appetizers, seafood and stir fry than ever before. Quinton notes that the restaurant now has a full list of domestic beers, wines and sake, and encourages customers to check Akira’s Facebook page regularly for specials. “In November, we ran a special on ‘Purple Haze,’ which is hot sake mixed with Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur,” he notes,

adding that there were many daily specials on menu items as well. “People should check often because we are always running new specials.” Quinton and Chef Huy Huynh have spent the nine months since Akira Sushi Bar’s entrance onto the Owasso scene listening to locals, in order to determine customers’ taste and add appropriate new items. This displays their commitment to personal service, which extends to the local community as well, as evidenced by their generous donations to local school and charitable organizations. For December, Quinton especially wants to concentrate on helping Owasso Community Resources refill their food banks. “After Thanksgiving, food banks are often empty,” says Quinton. “So we feel it is a great time to help them stock up for the coming Christmas holiday.” Owasso Community Resources will act as one of the host sites for the Tulsa area’s Angel Tree Project, and Quinton wants Akira Sushi Bar to assist in this endeavor as well. “Owasso and the surrounding towns are great communities, and we have really gotten to know people in the last nine months,” says Quinton. “We want to give something back.” For more information, contact

SSpectacular Lighted Holiday Displays Two free drive-through events in Muskogee are sure to put you and your family in the holiday spirit.

By Liz Drechsler The largest display of holiday spirit in Northeast Oklahoma can be found in Muskogee. At the Castle Christmas, you can take a slow drive through a Christmas wonderland filled with thousands of lights plus more than 2,000 lighted inflatable displays, with new ones for 2012. In nearby Honor Heights Park, the Garden of Lights has been a popular event, attracting thousands of viewers to enjoy over a million lights displayed throughout the park. Both events are free. For a change of pace, you can choose to tour the Christmas Kingdom in a tractor-drawn hayride which travels through a very special part of the village that is not accessible to cars. The Garden Room is open nightly from 6 to 10 where you can find those one-of-a-kind holiday ornaments for your own display. Soups, sandwiches, cookies, hot chocolate and more are available nightly from 6 to 10 in the Royal Garden Café. Some of the area’s finest artisans will be showing unique handmade gifts. A list of some of these talented artisans and the dates they will be in attendance will be posted at

www.okcastle.com. Stop by the petting zoo for a free, safe and fun experience for the little ones with gentle farm animals. Father Christmas will be at the Castle from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. There is no cost to talk to Father Christmas, but pictures will be available at a nominal fee. Visit www.okcastle.com for a calendar with dates showing when Father Christmas will be at the Castle. The 2012 Castle Christmas displays range from four feet in height to a towering 20 feet tall. You’ll see all of your favorite Christmas characters including Santa, the elves, many snowmen, reindeer, penguins, polar bears and more. Also you will see many of your favorite fun characters including Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, Scooby Doo, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, the Grinch, Elmo, Frosty the Snowman, Homer and Bart Simpson, plus many more. This is thought to be the world’s largest display of inflatables. The Garden of Lights celebration includes a free drivethrough display of over a million shimmering lights displayed throughout the park. Honor

Heights Park, internationally known for its Azalea Festival, draws up to a half million visitors annually. The park’s 122 acres are planted with more than 30,000 azalea bushes and thousands of trees, beautifully situated among the park’s scenic hilltop drive. Christmas lights are placed on trees, bushes and structures throughout the park to enhance the natural beauty of the gardens, waterfalls and ponds. Gates open at 5:30 nightly. Admission to both events are free, but donations are accepted. Both drive-through events are open nightly from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve from 6 to 10 p.m. The Castle’s inside events are open November 22-25, 29-30, and December 1-2, 6-9, and 13-31.

QQuick Lane Opens New Location Bill Knight Ford announces the opening of a second Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center at 96th and Memorial. By Duane Blankenship Bill Knight Automotive is adding their second Quick Lane at Bill Knight Ford, located at 9607 S. Memorial. Located on the north end of the Bill Knight Ford building, Quick Lane concentrates its focus on tires and basic car maintenance products and services. They carry all major tire brands including Goodyear, Continental, Michelin, BF Goodrich, Uniroyal and General, to ensure the tire you need is in stock. Quick Lane services include tire rotations, new tire installation, tire mounting and balancing, battery testing, and inspections of belts and hoses. Factory-trained technicians also provide other basic vehicle products and services that include brakes, batteries, oil changes, oil and air filters, wiper blades, transmission and other fluids, and more. "We carry name brand products, have Ford factory trained technicians and offer prices to compete with any after market service center," said Mr. Knight. The new Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center Manager Chad Ball and Assistant Manager Kate Collier are both experienced in the areas of customer service and

Our first Quick Lane is located just east of Memorial on 41st Street and has proven to be a positive experience for customers looking for competitively priced products and services.” Both locations are equipped to provide services for Ford, Lincoln, or any other make or model car, truck or SUV. Not only does Quick Lane

stock more than 250 tires, but they offer a “meet-or-beat” guarantee that assures you that you’re purchasing your new tires at the best price offered in town. Chad and Kate will also help you get the most out of your tires by providing some simple maintenance tips that could improve gas mileage and help keep you and your family safer when you’re traveling. “We’re going to recommend the right tire for your vehicle at the best price,” said Chad. “Each time you bring your car in for service, it will get a free vehicle inspection that will provide you with a report depicting the current health of your car,” added Kate. The report includes a visual tire inspection for proper inflation and wear, a brake inspection and brake fluid check, inspection of all other fluids, and other under-the-hood and under-the-car visual inspections. A copy of the Vehicle Check-Up Report will be provided to you with all inspected items noted as good, fair or bad. You’ll know if a problem exists, and if it needs immediate attention or if it can go a while longer. You’ll feel relieved when your car gets a report card indicating that all is

in good and safe working order. "2012 will be the fourth consecutive year that our team will finish as the number one volume Ford dealer in Oklahoma. Our customer base continues to grow and this is a great additional service for them," said Bill. He adds that Bill Knight Ford understands the importance of being available even after the sale. Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers are one of the many ways Bill Knight Ford continues to provide value-added services for their customers. Store hours for the new Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Quick Lane is closed Sundays.

Fowler Toyota Grand Opening Celebration tanks, more traditional styling, and a new dash. Tundra is designed to meet all the off-road requirements. This is a remarkably nice truck in every department. The 2013 Toyota Camry sports a new design and an update of almost every component, according to Wilkens. The result is a better end result in terms of comfort and security. The midsize Camry offers a

spacious internal compartment with comfortable seating. It is available in two versions, the gaselectric and hybrid. Engines on the 2013 Camry connect with a 6-speed automatic gearbox, allowing manual type gear management via the floor shift handle. Toyota Corporation says the newly designed Camry was designed to exceed market needs. A recent Consumer Reports Survey ranked Toyota best in

seven categories. Toyota Motor Corporation’s Scion, Lexus and Toyota brands took the top three spots, and the Toyota Prius C, a subcompact hybrid, got the best overall score. Rankings predict the reliability of 2013 model-year vehicles based on surveys of Consumer Reports’ readers.

AVB Bank Honored by Governor Mary Fallin continued from page 1 “For generations, AVB Bank has continually been dedicated to supporting and promoting art education, programs and initiatives, as well as Oklahoma artists and art,” said Kelley Rash, AVB Bank chairperson of the board. “AVB is honored to be recognized by the Oklahoma Arts Council and The Honorable Mary Fallin for our many years of dedication to enhancing the arts in the Broken Arrow community.” “AVB Bank’s mission is to serve, connect, and succeed together. Just one of the ways that we accomplish this mission is through our commitment to the arts,” said Jim Boze, AVB Bank CEO and president. “Broken Arrow’s economic development is enhanced by the many initiatives that AVB Bank sponsors, underwrites and supports,” added Boze. AVB Bank, headquartered in Broken Arrow, is a privately-owned community bank with assets of over $260 million and locations in Broken Arrow and Tulsa. AVB Bank began in 1905, two years before Oklahoma statehood. Through 107-years of service, AVB has survived tough economic times and navigated an extensive regulatory climate. Today, AVB Bank remains an independently owned and operated bank. AVB Bank takes its role in the community seriously. With tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of volunteer hours donated annually to organizations in Broken Arrow and Tulsa, AVB Bank has three main areas of consistent charitable giving: economic development,

education, and the arts. AVB Bank recognizes that the bank will only be as strong as the communities in which they serve, and understands that these three giving initiatives go hand-in-hand with each other. It is evident that AVB Bank’s efforts have strengthened our community and schools through the arts. For more information about AVB Bank, visit www.bankavb.com.

This is the sixth year that King of Kings Lutheran Church has put on the live nativity. “We are a missionary church,” Bartley says. “This is our small way of sharing Christ’s love with the community.” King of Kings is a small church with a congregation of 120 members; the church begins setting up committees in

the early fall to prepare for the event. Whether participants are actors or supervising parking, every member plays a vital role in the live nativity. “It literally takes us all,” Bartley says. “Our goal is to capture the feel of our Savior’s birth. It isn’t about commercialization; it is about the simplicity and the joy of the occasion.” This project is free to the community, and is a relatively large endeavor for such a small church. Funding comes from both the congregation and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, an organization that does much more than offer financial services. They also offer outreach opportunities that enable members to help their communities and congregations. “The entire presentation is a testament to the season. The volunteerism that it requires is truly indicative of the Christmas spirit,” Bartley mentions. In addition to the live nativity, all are also invited to visit King of Kings Lutheran Church for Sunday services at 9 a.m. and a Bible study at 10:30 a.m.

Witness the Real Christmas Story

The 14th annual Bethlehem Walk, a free guided outdoor walk through an exciting and realistic nativity, will be held November 29-30 and December 1-2 at Christview Christian Church. By Sheryl Sowell Christview Christian Church, located at 2525 S. Garnett, is pleased to present the 14th annual Bethlehem Walk to the Tulsa community. The Bethlehem Walk is a 45-minute guided outdoor walking tour through an exciting and realistic nativity scene. The path is lighted, and golf carts are available for those who are handicapped or disabled. Performances will be held November 29 and 30 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and December 1 and 2 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Longtime Christview Christian Church members Jim and Paula Scott have served as directors of the Bethlehem Walk committee for the past several years. This presentation features a cast of nearly 200 authentically dressed Roman soldiers, beggars, lepers, heavenly angels, shepherds, and Mary, Joseph and the Christ Child. The church maintains a costume room with hundreds of costumes made as authentically as possible. Live camels, sheep and donkeys add to the authenticity of the greatest story ever told.

Reservations are requested, and large groups are welcome. On Thursday evening, November 29, guides will be available to interpret in Spanish. When you call the reservation hotline, please let the operator know if you would like to be in one of these groups. Admission is free, and the Bethlehem Walk attracts thousands of attendees each year from a six-state area. Individuals and groups congregate in the church’s auditorium. Everyone is assigned to a family and a guide who is also the “family head.” Some participants will be given Roman coins with which to pay taxes as they enter Bethlehem. You may even be hassled by Roman guards along the road as you march to Bethlehem. You will soon figure out, everyone becomes part of the production! A tax collector receives your family’s taxes, and your family representative will be asked to “make his mark” in the record book. Don’t try to hold back any coins for yourself – tax collectors can get nasty!

Along your route, you will encounter angels with silvery white robes and shepherds kneeling in fields. You will visit three wise men and their camels, and will be asked if you have seen the star in the east. As you enter the bazaar, you will enjoy tasting some of the food samples. The bazaar area houses several shops with baskets, jewelry, fruit and nuts, rugs and more. Half the fun of the evening is interacting with the characters, especially when the shepherds invite you to join them at their camp to enjoy their nice warm fire. As you journey on, you will likely see beggars and lepers. Please don’t touch! To do so is “punishable by death.” You will discover that there are no rooms available in Bethelem. One innkeeper announces that he actually put up a man and his wife with child in a stable down the street. It was the last available vacancy in the city.

HHip, Hip, Hurray! Janean McCorkle of Broken Arrow is shouting the praises of orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ron LaButti. By Joshua Danker-Dake Janean McCorkle of Broken Arrow was born in 1956 with congenital hip dislocation: her hip socket hadn’t formed correctly, so her hip bone would slide back and forth. Unable to crawl as an infant, Janean spent two years in a splint. In 2002, Janean’s knee gave out and she fell down a flight of stairs. Over the next seven years, she developed increasing pain in her right thigh and a severe limp. One of her friends had undergone knee replacement surgery with Dr. Ronald LaButti years before, and Janean went to him on the basis of that glowing recommendation. “Dr. LaButti ordered hip X-rays, which showed that I was bone-on-bone in my right hip,” says Janean. “He had me get a steroid injection in my right hip to see if I was a good candidate for hip replacement. That one shot took all my pain away instantly.” After the shot, Janean experienced substantially less pain, she says, and she underwent hip replacement surgery on her hip in April, 2010. “My hip

was a mess when Dr. LaButti did the operation. Bone grafting had to be done. After the surgery, I had six weeks of recuperation and then four weeks of physical therapy. Dr. LaButti had done such a good job that my physical therapist was amazed at how well I was doing. I had his notes sent to my therapist, and she said that in all her years, she had never seen such meticulous notes.” Later, arthritis caused Janean’s left hip to deteriorate, causing her thigh pain. She went back to Dr. LaButti, and in June of 2012, she had her left hip replaced. “The left wasn’t as bad as my right, and I bounced right back after the surgery, with no therapy needed,” she says. “I went back to work in just three weeks, and after both surgeries, I needed very little pain medication.” Janean is effusive in her praise for Dr. LaButti. “He gave me my life back,” she says. “I didn’t think it was possible to feel this good again. I know why people come from out of state to see him – his talent, his knowledge of new technology,

and his compassion for his patients and their families. I’ve recommended him to many people.” Janean calls herself Dr. LaButti’s poster child for total hip replacement. “I wish my mother-in-law could have gone to Dr. LaButti – she had both hips done, and after the second, she said, ‘Never again.’ She lived with post-operative pain until the day she died,” says Janean. “But Dr. LaButti is amazing – no one has to endure hip or knee pain when he’s right here in Tulsa. Dr. LaButti and his staff made me feel like myself again, and I’m eternally grateful to all of them.” For more information on Dr. LaButti or knee or hip replacement surgery, visit www.hipandkneedoc.com.

Welcome to a Winter Wonderland Surceé Home Décor & Gifts offers everything you need to decorate for the holidays and please everyone on your Christmas shopping list.

By Lorrie Ward Surceé in Owasso recently announced its expansion—and now it will celebrate its first Christmas in its new and improved space, creating a perfect arena for this year’s main holiday theme: “Winter Wonderland.”

“Our expansion allowed room for six Christmas themes total,” says Laura Sanders, Surceé owner. “We have wreaths, ornaments, yard décor, garlands – just about anything you need to decorate for the holidays.”

With its floor space doubled, Surceé can now carry a bigger selection of everything: jewelry, boutique items, candles, home décor items (lamps, furniture, pictures), designer bags, designer stationary, sports team themed items (OU, OSU,

Owner Laura Sanders in the Winter Wonderland display at Surceé.

Owasso), home decorating and cooking books, custom ordered furnishings and more. This year, Surceé will host a special space for gift items priced $25 or less. As always, gift wrapping is always free, no matter what the price of the gift. Also expanding just in time for Christmas at Surceé – the Brighton Jewelry line. “Brighton is launching a new line of jewelry, and we have been selected as one of a limited number of stores who will be carrying it,” says Laura. The line, “My Flat in London,” is a re-launch of a jewelry line once carried in high-end stores like Neiman Marcus, Barneys and Nordstrom. Brighton Representative Kristie Stretch describes it as “a sophisticated, feminine and classic line of jewelry.” Brighton Jewelry is just one of the many things that are sure to make a Surceé customer’s “Wish List,” which is another service offered every holiday by Surceé. “Customers can come in, shop, and fill out their lists,” says Laura, “and we will either contact their loved ones with the list or have it available when they come by, according to what the customer requests.” Laura reports that this year, Surceé will host a “Dad and Kids Day” on December 16 so that fathers and children can come in together and have fun shopping for Mom, with yummy treats on hand and a special Christmas guest available to help them make their choices. If you need gifts for your office or corporation, Surceé is

Page 33

available to help grant those wishes, with great all-around gift choices like Tyler Candles (Surceé is the only dealer in the area for this popular candle line), Wind in Willow Food products (cheese ball kits, soup, dip and cider mixes), Elaine’s Toffee, and an array of lotion and perfume products. “Just call us and let us know about your group and what your budget is,” says Laura, “and we will be happy to help you put the perfect gifts together.” Laura also notes that many people buy gifts for their children’s teachers at Surceé, with its wide selection of personalized products such as ribbon pads and desk accessories. And if you are not sure what to purchase in either of these cases, Surceé gift cards are a great option. So whether you have a specific item in mind, need help finding that perfect gift, or even if you want to give a delightful day of shopping via a gift card for your loved one, be sure to drop by and make this original Owasso creation part of your holiday tradition. Store hours through Christmas are Monday through Friday 10 to 6, Saturday 10 to 5, and Sunday 1 to 5.
