here seems to be a misconception about honey glazed hams.

HoneyBaked Ham® is the only company that creates and sells HoneyBaked Hams. Period.

Harry J. Hoenselaar invented the spiral ham slicer in 1938, got a patent on it and tried to sell it in the ‘40s. Much to his chagrin, he could not generate interest in his invention. It’s said that people simply laughed and said, “Next time you’re going to be trying to sell us bottled water! “Disappointed, but not discouraged, Harry founded The HoneyBaked Ham Company in 1957. Today it is a premium food retailer with more than 400 stores nationwide and is currently in its third generation of values-driven, family ownership.

HoneyBaked Ham Co. and Cafe in Tulsa celebrated their opening in 2003 and Lee Griffin became the Owner/ Operator in 2010. The Tulsa store serves families, businesses

and organizations throughout the Tulsa Metro. Lee says, “Our mission is to celebrate life one meal at a time.

“The Company’s hams, turkeys and other specialty products are favorites across the country as superior holiday and special occasion choices and our customers choose from packaged product offerings or make their own selections for custom packages for family, friends and business associates.”

Lee says HoneyBaked’s 2014 Brand Health Tracker showed that Honey Baked remains the most preferred ham brand and ranks highest for perceived quality among other ham brands.

“We work hard to promote and maintain an environmentallyfriendly model throughout the supply chain and wherever we do business,” he adds.

HoneyBaked Hams has three facilities in the US that buy hogs from approved farmers in the Midwestern United States. These three facilities

make Honey Baked Hams and that’s all they do, adding quality and consistency to every product produced. Each Ham is hand-selected for leanness from premium grain-fed stock and each undergoes a 16-point inspection checklist. On average, for every ten hams inspected, only one is selected.

“Our hams are slow-cooked for 20-24 hours—two to three times longer than our competitors’ hams— using a unique blend of hardwood chips. They are then spiral-sliced to the bone so each tender, juicy slice is easy to serve. Honey Baked Hams are cured without adding extra water or juices,” says Lee. “A ham typically loses 10% in liquids during the cooking process and that’s all we add back into our hams before cooking to ensure that each cure is evenly distributed throughout our hams.

We’ve found that most producers add up to 30% more liquid weight prior to cooking making their hams actually weigh more

after cooking than they did before.

Once sliced, each ham is individually hand-glazed within 24 hours by an expert master glazer who slowly adds layers of spices and pure cane sugar with a masterful touch. This creates the HoneyBaked signature of a sweet, crunchy glaze. Following glazing, each ham undergoes another 16-point inspection prior to approval for sale. A ham expert wraps each ham in the signature gold foil. “And Honey Baked Hams are never frozen,” adds Lee. The company is committed to procuring ham and turkey products using animals raised in North America and they insist on their proper handling and humane treatment. “HoneyBaked Ham products contain no added hormones and steroids.

finest, highestquality ingredients are used to ensure adherence to the best-in-class food safety standards and we are proud that our delicious ham and turkey products are gluten-free,” declared Lee. Ingredients are printed on each product’s label and hams are always available. Each ham or turkey product is unwrapped and shown to the customer prior to purchase and systems are in place to get you in and out in 15 minutes or less…even during the holidays.

Quality assurance personnel are always onsite at the company’s processing plants. These plants and all retail stores also have frequent surprise audits and

ersonalized gifts are as timeless as they are unique, and with the holiday season upon us, now is the time to start making arrangements for incredible gifts with an extra special touch. Yvonne’s Monograms and Embroidery in Broken Arrow offers a large array of gift ideas inshop to personalize, or you can bring in items to have them embroidered with names, monograms, or almost anything you would like!

One of Yvonne’s top services this time of year are personalized Christmas stockings. Customers can bring in their own stockings and add monograms and embroidered names to these traditional items not only make them look exceptional but adds to the magic of keeping the stockings for a lifetime. Although orders can be completed quickly, for stockings and other Christmas gifts, it is recommended to get them done early.

You’ll want the stockings hanging long enough to enjoy them for the season, as well as ensure that they are ready for Santa when he comes!

Owner, Jason Lusk, is an expert at providing distinct advice on personalized gifts, with Yvonne’s serving the community for over 23 years. “It makes it more special when it’s personalized,” he said. With so many personalized options for gift giving, Yvonne’s provides a personal touch of their own with friendly and knowledgeable service. They can

provide monogramming on almost anything; from tea towels, scarves and socks, to bags, sweaters, hats, jackets and shirts. “Many other embroidery shops won’t work on existing personal property, but we still do it,” he said.

Some customer owned items they have embroidered include quilts, blankets, and of course, Christmas stockings.

Yvonne’s also takes pride on working with new businesses on personalized marketing items. “Many people don’t realize how inexpensive it can be to personalize shirts or hats with a company logo for promotional items,” said Jason. The technical expertise in logo embroidering at Yvonne’s is beyond compare. The machinery used at Yvonne’s is all computerized for accuracy and technical detail.

Located in the Rose District in the heart of Broken Arrow, Yvonne’s has been at their current location at 411 N. Main for 2 years. Yvonne’s is open Monday-Friday from 7am-4pm.

Customers can view the merchandise catalogs on the website at www. yvonnesmonograms.com. There are more items for personalization available than you can imagine! Find the most unique and extraordinary gifts with Yvonne’s this holiday season. For more information call (918) 451-1902.

Big Town Fashion, Small Town Charm Photos by Chandler Branzell

BY ASHLEY WAITKUS

Opened in 2012, The District on Main has all the frills of an upscale, big city boutique perfectly paired with small-town charm.

Like its name, originally Nesting Necessities and Boutique, the store has evolved over the years until owner Cari Bohannon purchased the building across the street from the first location.

Built in 1909, the recently restored store has all the character and charm of a classic the smalltown main street, a feeling perfectly matched by the character and charm of Cari and her staff.

The comfortably laid back, yet upscale boutique serves as a one-stop shop for gifts and clothing for Claremore residents. Each item in the store is hand selected by Cari who thoughtfully evaluates each selection to ensure The District on Main is always stocked with a variety of both items and prices to match every taste and budget. Cari’s love for her customers is demonstrated in the on-going process of making sure she carries highly sought after brands which are not sold elsewhere in the town. Rather than making a drive to Tulsa or going through the mundane process of ordering online, Claremore residents can instead spend their afternoon being treated like family while purchasing Kendra Scott, Brighton, Tribal Sportswear, Hobo, Uncle Frank, Nora Fleming, and other brands exclusive to The District on Main in the Claremore area.

In addition to the unmatched variety and charm, what sets The District on Main apart from other boutiques is the equally unmatched customer service and dedication to the local community. From sending flowers to a customer after a surgery, to serving on committees at SafeNet and supporting Claremore High School pantry food drive, Cari uses the store as a platform for giving C ri Bohan Ca anno on, n, own wner er, er back to her community and fostering Dist Di stri st rict ri c on Ma Maiin in. friendships with her customers.

part of owning the store is waiting on customers and helping them “get out of their comfort zone and try new outfits they wouldn’t have thought to consider”. Her goal is for every customer to feel confident in their clothing and eliminate “buyers remorse” by investing her time and honesty into each customer as they shop and try on outfits.

While fashion is a primary purpose for customers returning time and again, the picturesque shop on Will Rogers Boulevard has an expansive variety of items in addition to clothing: jewelry, home decor,

Volcano brand candles and products, Finchberry vegan soaps, locally made goat milk soaps, novelty socks, and of course, a collection of both OU and OSU items sure to please fans.

More than just another store, The District on Main hosts events and participates with other community events. Upcoming special events include a November 8th “Girls Night Out” which is a quarterly event offering specials and will include a Holiday Open House this quarter.

On November 16th and 17th, the store will be participating in the annual Claremore “Dickens on the Boulevard” and will stay open late

until 9 pm. Black Friday and Shop Small Saturday will bring more specials and new inventory. Specials will be announced on the stores Facebook and Instagram.

Time to Think About

Year-End Investment Moves THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY EDWARD JONES FOR USE

BY YOUR LOCAL EDWARD JONES FINANCIAL ADVISOR.

W

e’ve still got a couple of months left in 2018, but it’s not too soon to start thinking about some year-end investment moves that might benefit you. Here are a few possibilities (although not all will apply to your situation): Add to your IRA. For the 2018 tax year, you can put up to $5,500 into your traditional or Roth IRA (assuming you are eligible), or $6,500 if you’re 50 or older. If you haven’t reached this limit, consider adding some money. You have until April 15, 2019, to contribute to your IRA for 2018, but why wait until the last minute?

Increase your 401(k) contributions. You already may be investing in your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan, but you might be able to bump up your contributions for the rest of the year, if it’s allowed. Of course, you should always put in enough to earn your employer’s matching contribution, if one is offered.

Take your RMDs. If you are 70½ or older, you must start taking withdrawals – called required minimum distributions, or RMDs – from your traditional IRA and your 401(k) or similar retirement plan.

Generally, you must take these RMDs

by December 31 every year. But if you turned 70½ in 2018, you can wait until April 1, 2019, until you take your first RMD. However, you will then have to take a second RMD (the one for age 71) by December 31, 2019. Taking two RMDs in one year could give you an unexpectedly large taxable income for the year, possibly bumping you into a higher tax bracket and affecting the amount of your Social Security benefits subject to taxes. So, if you are

38 |

VALUES

BROKEN ARROW NOVEMBER 2018

considering delaying your first RMD, consult with your tax advisor.

Make changes in response to life events. In 2018, did you experience a major life event, such as a marriage, divorce or addition of a child? Or did you change jobs or retire? Any of these events could lead you to adjust your investment plans, so now may be the time to do so, possibly with the help of a financial professional.

Review your investment mix. At least once a year, it’s a good idea to review your investment mix to ensure it’s still suitable for your goals and risk tolerance. Sometimes, even without your taking any action, your portfolio might change in ways you hadn’t expected. For example, suppose you wanted your portfolio to contain 60% stocks and 40% bonds and other investments. After a period of rising prices, though, the value of your stocks may have increased so much that they now occupy 65% of your portfolio – which means you may be taking on more risk than you had originally intended. Consequently, you may need to rebalance your portfolio to get back to your original 60% to 40% ratios.

(Keep in mind that these figures are just for illustration; everyone’s ideal portfolio mix will depend on their individual situations.)

These aren’t the only year-end moves you may want to consider, but they can help you close out 2018 on a positive note. Plus, they can serve as a reminder that you need to be vigilant as you keep working toward your financial goals.

TAKE A TRIP BACK IN TIME AT

WILL'S COUNTRY CHRISTMAS

BY TOM FINK

T

he Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch in northeast Oklahoma will come alive with the Christmas spirit and holiday-themed fun and activities this year when the ranch hosts the annual Will’s Country Christmas celebration.

According to Will Rogers Memorial Museum Executive Director Tad Jones, Will’s Country Christmas is an annual celebration of the season “Will Rogers style,”

with something to enjoy for every member of the family.

“A few years ago, we knew that Dry Gulch was going to be sold, and we didn’t know what that would mean for the Christmas Train,” Jones said. “So, we decided to do our own version and started Will’s Country Christmas at the (Will Rogers) Birthplace Ranch to give people something else to go to and enjoy in case the Christmas Train went away.”

Initially billed as a family-friendly outing to show the public how Christmas season was for young Will Rogers at his birthplace home in Oologah, the event grew larger each year, both in scope and attendance, Jones said.

“Our first few years were pretty slow, but last year, we had almost all we could handle with crowds – we had such a great turnout,” he said. “Will’s Country Christmas is something we do on a Friday

We know it’s already a tradition for some families, and we hope that we can just continue to make it a great tradition for even more families, to keep growing it, to hopefully add new things for people to see and do, and the chance for the whole family to come out and make new Christmas memories.”

Green with Envy

BY BRENDA MICHAEL-HAGGARD

S

ince the late 1950s Tulsa Garden Club has awarded nearly 200 student grants (approximately $240,000) in horticulture or landscape architecture programs. In those early years, funds were raised from the sale of home décor items Tulsa Garden Club members handcrafted from “greens” (preserved plant and organic materials). These “greens” were available during the Club’s annual Holiday Tea. The Holiday Tea has evolved into a sold-out scholarship fundraiser with 200 members and guests. The November 26 Holiday Tea, Green With Envy, kicks off the year-long celebration of Tulsa Garden Club‘s 90th anniversary. The state’s second oldest and largest garden club will transform Tulsa Garden Center for this launch for the holidays.

Green With Envy chair Sandy Farris recently shared that Ludger’s will serve tea luncheon and, back by popular demand, Zella’s Boutique will present the holiday style show.

“Just in time for holiday giving,” Sandy notes, “members and guests will have many opportunities to support scholarships with exclusive Emerald Anniversary items, floral sales, the silent auction and drawing.”

Music by The Johnny Williams Show will set the holiday mood.

Since 1959 Oklahoma State University (OSU) students have benefitted from scholarships and student grants from Tulsa Garden Club. In 1985 Tulsa Garden Club was the first Oklahoma garden club to establish an endowed fund with OSU for horticulture and landscape 46 |

architecture students.

Tulsa Garden Club began supporting horticulture students at Tulsa Community College (TCC), in 1998, establishing an endowed fund in 2009. With recent elimination of TCC’s horticulture program, Tulsa Garden Club shifted support to TCC’s “Second Chance” horticulture program for Dick Conner Correctional Center inmates seeking certification or degree credits.

Tulsa Garden Club student grants chair Pat Whittington says, “We look forward to helping learners of all ages and backgrounds succeed in horticulture and landscape architecture educational goals.”

Tulsa Garden Club has worked for nearly 90 years to advance gardening, develop home grounds, further city beautification, promote conservation of natural resources, and to cooperate with state and national organizations.

Members (numbering 100-120 each year) are all ages, from diverse backgrounds, and live throughout the greater Tulsa area and surrounding counties.

Members volunteer hundreds of hours each year to plan and implement the Club’s continuing and new projects and activities.
