Wastewater Solutions of Oklahoma

BY AMY BETH DOBBINS

JT Bohannan was born and raised in Rogers County. His deep roots, in fact, reach back to the founding of Claremore, as his family, the Wards, were one of the first families to settle in the area. Later, his grandfather, Elmo Tanner, was a mayor and long term city clerk in Claremore. It is no wonder, then, that this Claremore Sequoyah graduate would return to his hometown after college to raise a family of his own.

Connected to the land and the people, Bohannan is actually working as a business owner with both on a daily basis. After 8

owning and operating CrossBo Construction for seventeen years, doing excavation and utilities work, JT Bohannan saw a gap in construction services.

There was a strong need for an honest, dependable and affordable organization offering sewage treatment. After a big investment of time and training, Wastewater Solutions of Oklahoma was born in 2017.

Wastewater Solutions is a full service business, handling everything related to residential sewage. They are able to install

conventional or aerobic systems.

They also handle repairs to any type of system as well as maintenance— monthly chlorination treatments or pumping services. Their services are available in both new construction as well as existing homes. Whether a customer needs help with a conventional system or aerobic, they are able to assist.

So why would an aerobic system be the choice as opposed to a conventional system? According to Bohannan, many times aerobic systems are able to be installed in smaller spaces—when a lot won’t

accommodate a larger, conventional system. In another instance, soil might not pass a perc test for absorption or drainage or might not be located far enough from a body of water to meet regulations, thus an aerobic system is required.

With an aerobic system, however, comes required maintenance. On a monthly basis, it must be treated and, periodically, it must be pumped. “Many people don’t want to mess with that, or, they just don’t understand how the system works. Education is key, and that is where we are different. We do not just sell and install. We follow up to make sure the customer understands the system. We also offer ongoing maintenance plans to take the hassle out of ownership,” Bohannan explains.

Wastewater Solutions is a certified installer through the Department of

Environmental Quality (DEQ), and they maintain their certification via continuing education. When an installation is needed, Wastewater Solutions acquires the necessary permit to install. And installation is quick—usually within 1 day, an aerobic system can be up and running, or within 2 days, a conventional system. Once installed, the system is covered under warranty for two years as long as maintenance is performed. If a customer so chooses, Wastewater Solutions will inspect and maintain the system on a monthly basis for only $20 per month. After the two year period, a customer may extend the full warranty for an additional two years and continue monthly maintenance services by Wastewater Solutions for $55 per month. At the end of the extended two year period, Wastewater Solutions will

pump the system free of charge, a significant savings.

Wastewater Solution’s service area is generous, an approximate thirty mile radius, extending to Rogers, Tulsa, Washington, Mays and Wagoner counties. Wastewater Solutions also understands that maintenance and unexpected repairs can surprise and disrupt budgets at times. For that reason, major credit cards are accepted as payment for installation, maintenance and repairs. Limited financing plans are also available.

Wastewater Solutions of Oklahoma wants to do the dirty work for you, so give them a call for all of your sewage treatment and management needs.

Swan Bros. Dairy adds pasteurized milk to products offered

BY TOM FINK

W

hile the axiom about not being able to teach old dogs new tricks may be up for debate, the same argument can’t apply to cows, or at least, those who work with cows.

After nearly 100 years in operation, Swan Bros Dairy, Inc. in Claremore now offers a new item to their variety of products: pasteurized milk.

“In the state of Oklahoma, if you sell raw milk, it has to be from the farm,” explained Diane Williamson, granddaughter of dairy founder, Harley Swan Sr. “This is actually an excellent law, I think, as it allows the consumer to see how the cows are treated, if they’re healthy, if the equipment is clean, and all that. Just to buy raw milk from a farmer’s market, the consumer really wouldn’t know where it came, the conditions of the cows, etc.

“Pasteurized milk is a milk that’s gone through a process to kill harmful pathogens and bacteria,” she said. “Here at Swans, we use low temperature vat pasteurization,

“No fifth generation employees yet, though,” Diane laughed.

The Swan success story began in 1923, when husband and wife, Harley and Ruby Swan started the business with one cow.

As the years passed, the herd size increased and milk was delivered in glass bottles to routes in the Claremore area. In 1946, the milk route was sold, but not the cows, and as such, Swan milk was sold to a local processor. By 1951, Swan Dairy began selling Grade A Raw Milk in glass bottles at their farm in Claremore.

In 1962, the Swan’s sons, Harley Jr. and Larry, purchased the dairy from their parents and continued to market the milk directly to people in the Claremore Community, and ten years later, Harley Jr. and wife, Dorothy, purchased the entire operation.

In 1985, the dairy began production of Oklahoma Premium Cheese -- Colby variety, and later that same year, production of cheddar and hot pepper cheddar cheese was added. Mozzarella variety was added in 1992, and in 2000, Swan’s hickory smoked cheddar was added, with hickory smoked Colby variety becoming available in 2015.

Today, Swan Bros Dairy has expanded operations

considerably since those early days, with “around 60” Holsteins, Jerseys, Brown Swiss and a combination thereof being milked twice daily. The family businesses has always been just that -- a family businesses -- handed down from Harley Sr. to Harley Jr., and in the spring of 2016, to Williamson and her husband, Don, when they purchased operations.

As a steward of the business started by her grandfather, Williamson’s thoughts on why the dairy has been so successful over the decades are simple as they are succinct.

“We have a healthy, natural product,” she said. “We produce, process, and market 100 percent of our milk and cheese products, and our customers know that they can depend on us for the highest quality milk and cheese available -- every time.”

Swan Dairy Bros, Inc. is located at 938 E. 5th Street in Claremore. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

P

ainting your home is one of the most important decisions you can make when improving your home’s appearance. Most of us are not up to the challenge to do it ourselves; so we hire a pro. Sooner Painting has both skill, speed and uses top notch products to complete each and every job.

Choosing the right colors and the right professionals are the first steps when planning to paint your home’s interior or exterior. Choosing the right colors of paint will set the tone of your home. Exterior paint colors can make all the difference when it comes to selling your home. Interior colors can create relaxation, add drama, and play an essential role in how potential buyers will perceive your home.

Here are some helpful tips for choosing a paint color: For instance, consider the size of your home when planning on painting its exterior. The size can influence whether dark or light colors are more appropriate. As a general rule of thumb, light colors will make your house appear larger and will be more affected by different light conditions, whereas dark shades can make your property appear smaller and help it blend

with the surroundings.

Also, when choosing a color scheme, make sure to consider the architecture of the house and the neighborhood context. While you don’t have to adhere to the guidelines strictly, don’t stray too far from the rule book to achieve the most pleasing look.

Since paint chips are printed colors on paper, relying on the paint chip color to be exactly correct is not likely. Ask your paint professional whether to go a little lighter or darker to achieve the right end result.

Sooner Painting Owner and U.S. Army Captain, Michael Bolton, has been serving customers residential and commercial painting and lawn needs for over twelve years. His company takes great pride in providing customers with excellent customer service and satisfaction.

His team is efficient, fully licensed and insured, and they guarantee their work.

Exterior home paint jobs include power washing, silicone caulking, and Sherwin Williams paints. Free estimates are always available.

RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH

Kamps 1910 Café

Three years after Oklahoma became a state, in 1910, a man by the name of Henry Kamp, arrived in Oklahoma by train. He was a German immigrant who was headed to the Pacific Northwest; however, when he stopped in Oklahoma City, he never left.

From that time, his brother, William, and he started a small grocery store at the corner of NW 25th and Classen Boulevard. Over the years, they became an Oklahoma City icon well known for their quality meats, deli, bakery and most of all their outstanding customer service.

Fast forwarding to one hundred years later, Randy Kamp, a third generation Kamp, embarked on a new venture commemorating the Kamp brothers legacy.

He opened the Kamps 1910 Café at 10 NE 10th St. Oklahoma City, followed by opening one at the OU Children’s Hospital, 1200 N. Children’s Ave., Atrium 3rd Floor, Oklahoma City and one in Edmond, 3325 S. Boulevard, Suite 175. The Café offers delicious breakfast and bakery items, coffee drinks which includes their classic Toasted Coconut Crème latte, smoothies, tantalizing soups, salads and a wide variety of wraps and sandwiches. How does the “Wrong Side of the Tracks Reuben” sound to you? It is served with their own special sauce! It is a crowd favorite! And, last but not least, they have adhered to their family’s commitment to outstanding customer service. This is definitely a place that you’ll want to visit!

After over a decade of raising awareness for made in Oklahoma products, The MIO Coalition recognized that consumers in our state not only want to shop for local products at the grocery store, but they also want to support the Oklahoma restaurants that incorporate locally produced food and beverage items into their menu’s. Thus, in an effort to make this information more readily available to Oklahoma consumers the MIO Restaurant Program was born.
