Local Business Expands in Anadarko

January 23, 2020/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by David Scott

Ridge Runner Roofing based in Anadarko, OK is expanding its operations to include seamless rain gutters. This will be a new venture under the name of The Rubber Duck Gutter Company. We were able to ask one of the owners, J.J. Vance (Vance serves on our Board of Directors), a few questions:

How did you get the idea to start this new venture?

“With my brother and I already being in the roofing business, it goes hand in hand. We have actually thought about expanding to the gutter business for several years. With there being no one else in our area offering guttering services we saw it as a good opportunity.”

Who would your typical customer be and why should homeowners think about adding or replacing gutters?

“Anyone who owns their own home or business, city or state entities, and tribal entities. Adding gutters will let customers control water around their structure. It can help protect fascia, soffit and foundation. People should replace gutters if they are leaking or damaged by wind or hail. New gutters will also increase the value of your property. Home owners insurance also covers gutters.”

Why are seamless gutters better?

“Seamless gutters are better in the sense that they don’t have seams, so no leaks. Having a professional gutter company install seamless gutters over traditional do-it-yourself gutters will save the homeowner time and trouble in the long run. The average home would cost between $1,000 to $1,500 to install on the entire house.”

How can people get an estimate for their home?

“Call Ridge Runner Roofing/The Rubber Duck Gutter Company at 405-247-2476 or find us on Facebook at The Rubber Duck Gutter Company or Metal Roofs by Ridge Runner. Our physical office is located at 209 S. Country Club Rd in Anadarko.”

Kiowa Tribe Child Care Program Renovates Facility

December 30, 2019/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by David Scott

Anadarko, OK – The Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma continues to be a great partner in Anadarko. One of their recent successes has been the renovation of the Kiowa Child Care Program’s facility, which is a federally funded. The Child Care Assistance Program is funded by a federal grant through the Department of Health & Human Services and Administration for Children & Families. Certain requirements of the Child Care Program are necessary because of the federal regulations of the funding source. None of the funds used for day care assistance are tribal monies.

Yvonne Haven is the Program Director and she commented on the renovation, “This childcare center has been a long time coming, the renovation part of it, and we are glad the center has re-opened with a new perspective. The community and parents have been hearing about it. Parents have been coming through the door and we have a waiting list already. We have a capacity of 30 children. The next project that we are going to do, when headstart moves out, we are going to make that a formal dining room and a big family room, we are going to renovate the kitchen. Right now the meals are prepared and brought to the children in the classrooms. We are really emphasizing the Kiowa Language immersion and that is why we have the signs of the classroom doors which are the names in Kiowa. We are excited for more success in 2020.”

If you would like more information about this program’s services, eligibility and application process, please visit the Kiowa Child Care website by clicking here. You can also see photos of the renovation below.
