Let Your Pilot Do the “Driving” 22
Cleveland County Lifestyle | June 2019
WHETHER YOU LOVE TO DRIVE OR PREFER TO LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT FOR YOU, SOMETIMES THE BEST TRAVEL ALTERNATIVE IS NOT A CAR OR SUV, BUT A... JET! And whether your destination is a business conference, family getaway or other activity, Private Jets Inc. offers fliers comfortable, upscale surroundings, in-flight catering and much more. For travelers considering a private flight, Private Jets Inc. president Eric Wells has advice on how to get the most out of their investment.
“OUR CUSTOMERS CHARTER PRIVATE FLIGHTS FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, ONE OF WHICH IS TRAVELING TO POPULAR LOCATIONS IN REMOTE AREAS,” SAYS WELLS. “SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR VACATION LOCATIONS ARE HOURS AWAY FROM LARGER REGIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS, AND CHARTERING A PRIVATE FLIGHT CAN BE A WORTHY INVESTMENT TO AVOID WASTING TIME ON MULTIPLE PLANE CHANGES AND DRIVING FOR HOURS AFTER YOU’VE LANDED.” Wells says the services of Private Jets Inc., founded in 1987, are like a custom-tailored suit because—thanks to their team of hospitality experts who stand ready to arrange hotels, ground transportation and all the other details of your trip—they will work to fit your needs to the t. Wells notes that Private Jets Inc. acquired its first aircraft in 1995. The company continues to operate an impressive fleet with Lears, Citations, Hawkers, Beechjets, Challengers and a Cirrus SR22 among their ever-expanding fleet, which in addition to Oklahoma City’s Wiley Post Airport also are located at three airports in Texas (Austin, Houston and San Antonio) and two in Florida (Naples and St. Augustine). The jets can carry as few as three people and as many as nine. “Private flights have many advantages that amount to time saved,” notes Wells. “Charter flights can often fly directly to the destination, and passengers can avoid airport parking, waiting in line checking bags and standing in long security lines, all of which adds to the value of flying private.” EARN YOUR WINGS If you travel frequently, Private Jets Inc.’s Thunder Wings Jet Card program can offer you significant savings over standard retail rates. Ideal for the sophisticated buyer of charter travel, customers can pay in advance for travel and enjoy discounted rates.

From a man’s point of view, I like to be involved in the planning process from beginning to end. As I judge all men should do!

where you can take a four- five or even seven-night cruise on Carnival Cruise Lines or Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and seasonally Disney Cruise Lines.
One thing to remember—the longer the cruise, the more you will need to pack, or you might have to do laundry while away. If not a cruise vacation, how about an all-inclusive land vacation? This type of vacation can be full of activities or, for me, sitting on the beach taking in the sun. My wife can be at the spa getting a massage, and we are both happy. Then, in the evening, we will enjoy a wonderful dinner together. My favorite all-inclusive resort is the El Dorado Royale in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

Cruise vs. Land
Vacation One of the main benefits of a cruise is that you and your traveling companion can visit multiple destinations during your vacation. While you may only be there for the better part of one day, you can get a feel for the destination and decide if you would like to return for a longer stay. If you have had someone tell you how wonderful a destination is, you may want to stay longer than a cruise allows. In that case, all-inclusive resorts are a great option. These resorts allow you to explore

Cleveland County
FUTURE AT A CROSSROADS

Cleveland County Lifestyle | June 2019
RESTING IN THE HEART OF OKLAHOMA, CLEVELAND COUNTY IS ONE OF THE MOST CULTURALLY AND ECONOMICALLY DIVERSE AREAS IN THE STATE. Large, growing suburban metropolises, like Norman and Moore in the northern part of the county, give way to the much smaller and more typical Oklahoma rural communities like Lexington and Noble in the south. Eastward is almost entirely agricultural, or homes scattered on large acreages. Such diversity brings a broad spectrum of possibilities, progress and problems for the communities and residents of the county. For several years now, the future of the county and its cities and towns have been hotly debated by an array of citizens, community groups and public officials. Civic and business development has generated major debates in many parts of the county. The major question has not been whether cities, towns and their outlying areas are expanding. Everyone knows they inevitably are and will continue to do so. The most pressing questions and quandaries facing county residents have been how that growth is manifesting itself. Where is the growth occurring? Why? What does that growth look like? Is it the right kind of growth? Is it in the right area? Is it sustainable? Is it properly regulated? What do county residents really want to see in the way of growth? In short, what does Cleveland County’s future look like? Of course, it’s rare that a majority of county residents can agree to the answers to any of those questions. However, that is the very question Cleveland County Lifestyle recently decided to pose to group of area movers and shakers who we thought would have good takes on the years ahead. The magazine brought together three area businessmen to discuss what they think about the current state of the county’s growth, its future development and the vision they see for the state’s third most populated county.

FUTURE AT A CROSSROADS
(CON TI N U ED)
Attorney Noble McIntyre is the founder and principal partner of McIntyre Law. He is active in charities and church programs in the area. For the past several years, he and his firm, along with other organizations and attorneys, have distributed thousands of turkeys each year to area residents around Thanksgiving in connection with World Kindness Week and Oklahoma Kindness Day. In addition, McIntyre has established “Noble Cause,” a civic program on local television that recognizes and rewards young people who are “changing society.” Executive Chef Anthony Compagni, who owns Benvenuti’s Ristorante, Press & Plow and Volare, spends time working with the local Food Bank and helping sustain Food and Shelter for Friends. He helps raise funds for St. Jude’s Hospital and the local Assistance League. Another of his interests is “Backpacks For Kids,” a program that ensures children have enough food to eat over the weekends. Asked about the county’s future, all three quickly agreed that as Cleveland County continues “growing up,” the issues of space and municipal funding sources will become even larger concerns than they already have been. “I see a lot of cannibalism throughout the county continuing,” Shannon said of area business and industry movement from one location to another. “We aren’t really getting a lot of ‘new’ businesses anywhere. Existing businesses are just moving from one spot to another. “I think that’s something people, especially our elected officials,

are going to have to deal with more effectively in the near future. “When you couple that with our cities and towns having to live off only sales tax revenue, it makes developing a vision for the future of an area like Cleveland County even more uncertain.” Compagni, who is currently looking for a new restaurant location on Norman’s west side, said that, at the current time, he wasn’t able to consider any other location in the county

because of the population growth on the county’s western edge and the fact that the Moore and Norman have virtually becoming one large area for dining out. “Restaurants can only make it where the people are,” he said. Shannon agreed, but he said he doesn’t think it will be

To that end, he said, he has built a bilingual clinic to better serve Hispanic families. “There was a need that was being unmet and, as a businessman, I’m trying to respond to it. Others will too, I think.” McIntyre said he believes Amazon’s new fulfillment center in the far northwest stretches of the county, which brought 1,500 new jobs to both Cleveland and Oklahoma counties, could make a dramatic impact on the county’s future. The 600,000-square-foot shipping center sits in the uppermost northwest corner of the county, barely within its borders. “Anytime you bring a job to someone, you really are doing something,” he said. “I think it’s going to make a big difference, stimulate all kinds of growth. Up until now out there that hasn’t happened.” He envisioned that area becoming far more suburbanized with moderately priced homes and new and different small businesses because people are going to want to live close to where they work. “No matter where there is growth, you’re always going to have the chain and box stores,” McIntyre said. “But I think people are beginning to look for something different, something that can make a place special.” “Somebody, someday, is going to figure out what that

SOARS ABOVE ITS COMPETITORS
CAMPUS CORNER RESTAURANT OFFERS GREAT MEETING SPACES AND EXPANDED MENU ... PARKING, TOO! FROM ITS VERY CONCEPTION, ANTHONY COMPAGNI’S RESTAURANT VOLARE ON NORMAN’S HISTORIC CAMPUS CORNER WAS MEANT TO SOAR ABOVE ITS COMPETITION— AND IT DOES IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. Beginning with its five-story stature, the red brick eatery towers above every other building and business in the city’s storied five-block enclave that has long catered to University of Oklahoma students. But the differences don’t stop there. The eatery also was designed for quiet, fine dining and to play host to groups and meetings from large to small—both stark differences from virtually every other eating establishment on the Corner. “Volare is not just your local campus bar,” Compagni said recently after sitting down at a table in the restaurant’s first-floor bar area.

We’ve always wanted to be many different things: a sports bar when there are sports on; a professional building when it’s time for a private dinner or a group meeting; and a local fun hangout for the entire family at dinner time. Then, late at night, it’s a restaurant that turns into a bar,” he added with a smile. Working on its third-year of operation, Volare is one of three Norman restaurants in which Compagni has an interest. He recently opened Press and Plow (a purveyor of fine wine, spirits, coffee and provisions) on Tecumseh Road lodged between I-35 and North Flood Street. He also has an interest in the fine-dining restaurant, Benvenuti’s, on Norman’s Main Street in downtown, where he continues to serve as executive chef. At Volare, which in Italian means, “to fly,” Compagni believes one of the restaurant’s secrets is that it is equipped to host business and group gatherings from large to small. “It’s a little known fact, but we have the ability to host parties in the Mezzanine area. We can put at least 30 people there and 30 people in our lounge. There’s also a private room on the third floor for smaller groups quiet dining—and then there’s our rooftop bar for even larger groups.” Audio and video capabilities are available in some rooms. Volare recently began taking reservations for eight or more to ensure groups have all the space they need for their functions. “In our rooms there is total privacy from the other parts of the restaurant. And, we have our rooftop which can accommodate larger gatherings,” he said, noting that Volare was the first restaurant to have a rooftop area for customers. “We kind of started that trend here. Now, everyone wants a rooftop bar.” Another big plus favoring Volare is that the famed Campus Corner parking struggles have been alleviated by the construction of a large pay-to-park car lot right behind the restaurant. “You can walk in the back door if you want,” he said with a grin, “but we prefer people use the front door.”

Volare can play host to groups and meetings large to small.
In addition to its height and ability to host any sized group function, Compagni said Volare now offers take-out and catering. Its menu also is growing. A number of pasta dishes were recently added and sandwiches— including calzones—and a large variety of salads will soon make appearances on a new “super menu.” New drink promotions will be popping up regularly too, including $2 Tuesdays where special drinks will be spotlighted for—you guessed it—two bucks. The chef also is planning Wine Wednesdays, when some of the finest wine the restaurant offers will be only $4 per glass. “There’s going to be something for everybody. It’s a lot of options,” he said of the planned “super menu.”
One of the more intimate spaces for gatherings at Volare
“I think as a restaurant evolves,” he went on to explain, “it figures out what it does well and what the people want—and we try to listen to that and give our guests exactly what they want. “But the quality of the food has always been there and it will continue to be. It’s always been high-quality food at a great price.” A Utah native who was trained in classic French cuisine at the famed Cordon Bleu culinary school in France, Compagni’s “real passion” is Italian food, which is the fare Volare highlights. Before coming to Oklahoma, he was a highend chef in several Aspen Colorado restaurants. Aspen is home to some of the best fine-dining restaurants in the country and holds an internationally famous annual wine and food festival that brings chefs and restaurateurs in from all over the world to celebrate food and drink. But the chef seems to have found his home in Norman. Compagni said he loves the “atmosphere” and “energy” Campus Corner brings to his establishment and every business in the area and that was why he and his partner sought to bring Volare to the eclectic shopping, restaurant and club area. He said it has been fun for him to watch what other businesses coming in are doing and how things are beginning to change. “The atmosphere and the energy Volare and other businesses are bringing to the Campus Corner are great,” he said. “It’s amazing. It’s fun to watch what everybody else is doing.” 44

THERE IS NO BAD MEN BEAR OUT FAMOUS NOVELIST'S ASSERTION
WHISKEY...
FAMED DETECTIVE NOVELIST RAYMOND CHANDLER ONCE SAID: “THERE IS NO BAD WHISKEY. There are only some whiskeys that aren’t as good as others.” Keeping that thought in mind, a group of Cleveland County Lifestyle’s friends recently set out to discover if Chandler’s praise for one of the most popular beverages in the world is true. Without divulging how long it took or how much whiskey was drained from glasses before deciding, Chandler appears to have been correct. Sitting down at Volare restaurant on Norman’s Campus Corner to test Chandler’s whiskey theory, along with magazine publisher Jimmy Darden, were well-known local attorney Noble McIntyre, popular area dentist Tim Shannon and the owner of three of the county’s finest restaurants, executive chef and restaurateur Anthony Compagni.

So, amid sips, there was a lot of discussion about the future of Cleveland County and its varied communities. By the time that was done—along with an assortment of appetizers from Compagni’s kitchen—the verdict was close, but unanimous. And the winner was … wait for it … Lone Elm!
