Labor Day Grillin’ BEER CAN CHICKEN
WITH GRILLED CORN ON THE COB
Ingredients • 1 whole chicken • seasoning mix: 3 tsp. salt, 3 tsp. pepper, 1 tsp. cayenne, 1 tsp. sugar
• 4 tsp. butter • 2 corn in husks • 1 hot grill
First, take the butter and mix it with the seasoning so that you have a nice seasoned butter. Take the whole chicken and with your finger create a pocket in between the skin and breast so that you can stuff it with the seasoned butter. Do this on both chicken breasts. Now pop open any canned beer you choose and drink only half of it (or dump it out if that’s not your thing). Next, place the chicken over the beer can so that the legs of the chicken are sitting down and the chicken can sit up. If you are using a gas grill set the temperature to medium-high heat about 350 degrees. If using a charcoal grill, make sure that after the coals are ready slide them to one side of the grill and place the chicken over the side that does not have coal, so that you are cooking on indirect heat. Depending on the size of the chicken, it should take 3–4 hours but, to be sure it’s done use a thermometer and check it. The chicken should be 160 degrees when you pull it off the grill. Be careful when removing the chicken, some beer may be left in the can. For the corn just pull the husk back enough so that you can remove the silk hairs from inside. Rub the cob with your seasoned butter and wrap it back up in the husk and place on the grill for 8-10 minutes, just until it chars up a little. The final step is to Vincent William // chef eat your delicious meal. Oak Hills Country Club

Nutritious After School Snack Ideas
in shape
Star Edwards // Registered Dietitian
If you are like me, you can probably remember your stomach rumbling at the end of the school day. Children have smaller stomachs than adults and when consuming a good nutritious meal, it is normal and healthy for them to be hungry again within 3 hours. If lunch break is at 11:00am, by the time the final bell rings, most kids need a boost of energy. Dinner is usually not scheduled for a few more hours, so an after school snack is an important element in a child’s routine. Besides filling hunger pangs, after school snacks offers a pick-me up from the afternoon drag, help behavior and mood, and improve performance in after school activities and homework. PROTEIN • 1 mozzarella cheese stick • 4–6 oz. yogurt • 4–8 oz. low-fat milk • 1–2 Tbsp. peanut or almond butter
Snack time is a great opportunity to get some good nutrition into your child’s growing body, but snacks can be simple and accomplish this. A well-rounded snack can be constructed by choosing one choice from each of the following columns (protein + grain + fruit/veggie). For example, one day your child might choose peanut butter, pretzels and apple slices, and the next a cheese stick, crackers and grape tomatoes. Take a look at the Mix & Match Snack Option Table below. The amount of each food is an estimate and will depend on when dinner will be served, your child’s age and their hunger level at that particular moment. Keep in mind the golden rule of child feeding taught by child feeding expert, Ellyn Satter: parents and caregivers are responsible for what is served (providing a variety of nutritious foods), and children are responsible for choosing foods from those provided and determining how much of the food they eat. Planning and prepping ahead of time are imperative for busy families on the go. On shopping day, portion, bag, and store snacks appropriately for quick go-to snacks all week long!

A Rang m o o B iner D 211 E. Main ~ 7am-9pm The Boom-A-Rang Diner has been around for quite some time now. They have 41 locations across Oklahoma, but our favorite is located at 211 East Main Street right here in Ada. The diner was founded by Charles Degraffenried and his goal was to always be consistent with the food. In 2011, Debbie and her Husband Joe, took the reigns on the diner in Ada. Debbie had worked for Charles for eight years and he offered her the opportunity to own the business outright. Debbie loved the diner and wanted to make sure it would stick around Ada for many years to come.
Boom-A-Rang has daily specials that keep the regulars coming back for more. If you like burgers, then you should visit them on Monday because they are half price. On Friday, they boast all you can eat catfish. We encourage you to visit them on the other days to find out the specials for the rest of the week. When school starts, they will even add a Manager’s Special of the Day. Students from Ada High and ECU receive a 10% discount when they present their Student I.D. Debbie loves going to the diner everyday. She says, “I just like being here and seeing all the different people that come in. I enjoy interacting with the people and I love to see the business grow. It’s just FUN!” Boom-A-Rang is a hometown diner, committed to quality food and they will always put you first. Put down the magazine and go pick up a burger right now...your stomach will be glad you did.
When you walk into the diner, you know you are going to get a good experience. It is always clean and the staff is super friendly. The Boom-A-Rang menu is the same at every location. They have a solid commitment to making sure each person can get the same quality food at any location they may visit. They are proud to offer fresh food all day long. You won’t get any less quality if you eat later in the day at Boom-A-Rang. They are known for their juicy burgers and fried catfish. I don’t know about you, but I am getting a little hungry right now. They also have a tasty hand-breaded chicken that you will not be able to get enough of. The food isn’t the only thing that is great. The service is fantastic too!

our mother’s mar t yr
serenades in madness Some things are just meant to be. When Casey Howard and David Winchester were attending the same elementary school in the tiny town of Whitesboro, Texas they had no way of knowing the future they would share. Neither is certain that they actually knew one another in kindergarten but when both ended up in Vanoss, Oklahoma as 7th graders they quickly became best friends, a relationship that continues to this day. They began jamming together, originally with Casey on guitar and David doing vocals. As David became more serious about playing guitar they reversed roles. Over the next few years several band members came and went, including a seemingly endless series of drummers. Despite a lack of continuity in musicians, songwriting became an important focus for the band. As Casey put it, “We were young, very wild and were writing really dark, heavy songs.” They played numerous shows at the old ABC Bar on Broadway, jamming with other local bands such as Small Town Trap and Cuddles. It was an exciting time for these musicians who call themselves, “Our Mother’s Martyr”. Eventually the party ended and only Casey and David emerged from the wreckage. The two began playing acoustic shows at The Statesman’s Lounge while pursuing mastery of their respective crafts. In 2012 they met their current bassist, Justin Pinella, and drummer, Austin Fisher. They played as a six-piece band for a couple of years with guitarists Brian Edwards and Vaughon Williamson and recorded the recently released album, The Initiate. However, maintaining a six-piece band proved challenging and they parted ways with Edwards and Williamson. Regularly scheduled, serious rehearsal time has created a very tight, compelling sound for this talented foursome. Holding down a groove for Our Mother’s Martyr is bass player, Justin Pinella, a former drum major at ECU, as well as an accomplished pianist/ keyboard player. Drummer, Austin Fisher, plays with an irresist-
by deanna piercy
ible style and intensity rare in one his age. David Winchester’s intricate picking and bluesy solos are part of his signature style. Fast and brutal or slow and sludgy, David can do it all. Front man, Casey Howard, showcases his vocal range as he moves effortlessly from ethereal and haunting chants to guttural growls, all while engaging the audience with his dynamic and energetic stage presence. Together, their individual talents meld into a mind-blowing experience that leaves fans screaming for more. OMM has recently had a couple of wildly successful out-oftown shows. June 1st they participated in a battle of the bands event at the Chameleon Room in OKC and advanced to the finals that will be held in September. Then on June 26th they opened for Dog Fashion Disco, also at the Chameleon Room. The response was so enthusiastic they received an ongoing offer to play there. While Oklahoma City has enjoyed the spectacle that is Our Mother’s Martyr, local venues appropriate for metal shows are few and far between. You may not have had the opportunity to see OMM yet, however, if you’ve been partaking of the vibrant new music scene in Ada there’s a good chance you’ve heard The Dudes. Guess what? The Dudes and Our Mother’s Martyr are the same four guys. Casey, David, Justin and Austin, playing as The Dudes, have been wowing local crowds with their high-energy covers of classic rock songs. Whether playing as Our Mother’s Martyr or The Dudes, it’s obvious these four are on a trajectory toward fame. You can pick up a copy of their new CD, The Initiate, at Toppers Tobacco on Highway 1, Ragsdale’s Conversation Emporium in the Ada Mini Mall, or at any OMM or The Dudes show. They also have limited edition t-shirts, locally designed and printed, available right now. Keep up with OMM news and upcoming events via their Facebook page, the Happyland Music Alliance page or website (HappylandMusicAlliance.com). And do catch one of their shows soon. You won’t regret it. www.adahub.com • 9

Anniversary TH 50of Upward Bound by Sunnie Dawn Smith
How can we build a better world and a better country? Many people could give different answers to this question. In 1964, though, President Lyndon Baines Johnson came up with his own answer. He decided that this country needed to wage a “war on poverty.” Congress passed the Economic Opportunity Act and the Office of Economic Opportunity was founded which helped administer the funds. Of these original programs, four are still active: Head Start, Volunteers in Service to America, Job Corps and TRIO. While all of these are important to our society, TRIO is especially beneficial, containing programs to help low income students, students living in rural areas and students who would be the first in their family to attend college. Upward Bound, which owes its existence to LBJ has helped many students in the past and continues to do so today.
The Upward Bound program at East Central University has been in existence since 1965. It was one of 17 programs in the country at that time. Grants have to be renewed every 4-5 years and funding is competitive. Programs that perform well will get the money they need and those which are not effective will not. During the course of the past 50 years, more than 2 million people have participated in Upward Bound nationwide. Notable alumni include Angela Bassett, Patrick Ewing and Oprah Winfrey. The program at ECU has been very effective, making education a priority for students and giving them experiences that they probably would never have. The program in Ada services six different counties: Pontotoc, Garvin, Hughes, Coal, Pittsburg and Seminole. They also enroll about 120 students per year, ages 13-18. www.adahub.com • 11
Upward Bound in Ada has several different components. The students live on the ECU campus for six weeks every summer, taking classes and having educational opportunities foreign to them. For instance, they can take Spanish, French or Sign Language during the summer component; many local rural schools don’t offer these in their regular curriculum. Other classes, like Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry, History, and General Biology might seem familiar to the students, but the teachers try to give them new opportunities to get ahead in their own high school. While many schools are cutting the arts out of their budgets, Upward Bound offers Art, Drama, Speech, Video Production, and Film to broaden the student’s horizons. English is separated out into Creative Writing, Composition, and Literature so that students can focus on different, yet equally important aspects of a single subject. Also, for those interested in learning more about science, they can take Anatomy or Zoology. One of the most interesting offerings is a class called Adventure Africa, which is taught by international students from Uganda, Kenya, and Nigeria, helping the students to think globally instead of just locally. During the school year, the students still have a chance to get together. They meet once a month at the university for academic year classes. They have a twohour English class before lunch and a two-hour Math class after lunch. Once the students have finished high school, they can be a part of the Upward Bound Bridge Program. In this program the students take college classes and receive college credit while still having the same Upward Bound experience they are used to. Not only does this help them get started on their college degree, it also does so in a way that is safe
and supportive. When they are enrolled in college, they can take part in the LEAP program that helps get them into the work study program and earn a stipend. Statewide, 72% of Upward Bound students go on to college. However, the rate of success is actually higher than this because they do not count the students who join the military in this statistic. Upward Bound is about so much more than classes though. The students get to go on cultural trips to see plays, museums, and even a Thunder game. This past summer the students got to see Wicked in Tulsa. Some students have never been to Tulsa. They have never been to Dallas. They have never been to Oklahoma City. This program gives the students a chance to see much more than they would normally have an opportunity to. It also gives students a chance to give back by having a service learning component. The students serve at Abba’s Tables, they help out at the ECU Child Development Center, they clean Wintersmith Park and have helped at the Women’s Shelter. They learn about giving back to the community, which is something that follows them as they move on toward careers. Many of the a lumni work as teachers, nurses, run non-profit organizations or even help other students with Upward Bound. In fact, Tonya Harrell, a Project Coordinator for Upward Bound at ECU, was a student in the same program. Many of those who have participated in these programs go on to help others. Most important, though, is the sense of family that the students feel for each other. Many tears are shed on the last day of summer classes because the students have grown so close. This is an environment that comes with no judgment and is all-inclusive. It allows the students to remake themselves and become the people that they want to be without any expectations or preconceived notions based on their past. It allows students to come out of their shells; many who are shy at their own high schools learn to speak out and be confident in this program. Upward Bound isn’t just about taking classes; it is about having a way for students to broaden their minds, experience new things and discover who they truly are. If you or someone you know might be interested in the program here at ECU talk to a high school counselor or contact Tonya Harrell at (580) 559–5856 or Dan Patton at (580) 559–5855.

Dr. John Siegle
at Southeastern Women’s Health Center by Sunnie Dawn Smith
What’s the most important thing one can do? Though there are a vast amount of possible answers to this question, Dr. John Siegle at Southeastern Women’s Health Center knows his answer: giving back. That’s what his mother made him promise, when he went to medical school; it’s what she made him promise when she was on her death bed. She wanted to make sure that her son was going to give back to society and help those in need. That’s exactly what Dr. Siegle has been doing. He started by giving back to the Native American populations. When he graduated college and did his training in obstetrics and gynecology, he applied to many different programs in Indian Health Services. He finally decided to choose Carl Albert Indian Hospital in 1985. This presented an opportunity to bring change and new methods to the Native population. During the 80’s, Siegle delivered about 1000 babies while at Carl Albert. After working with Indian Health Services, Dr. Siegle decided to start his own private practice in 1990. He worked with Valley View Hospital and now Mercy Hospital. He continued his work in obstetrics and gynecology, but also added something else as well. Siegle started teaching. For 24 years, all of the OB GYN residents from the University of Oklahoma Medical School at the OKC campus have been coming to Ada to study with Dr. Siegle. Chances are, if you are visiting an OB GYN in Oklahoma, they have studied here in Ada. He has even won the National Faculty Award from OU Medical School three times. Teaching also keeps him up to date on the newest procedures and information regarding his field. It allows opportunities that you don’t really get in the private sector. In addition to his teaching awards, Siegle has also been recognized by the medical community in other ways. He has served on the admissions committee for OU Medical School in the past and is an associate trustee 14 • www.adahub.com
on the board of the Oklahoma State Medical Association. He is the Oklahoma instructor for Nexplannon (which is a three-year subdermal birth control). Siegle is also a national spokesperson for Bayer, giving talks about the Essure sterilization procedure. There are many things that Dr. Siegle can help you with in addition to basic obstetrics and gynecology. For instance, he can do Essure tubal sterilizations in his office. He can also do in-office ablations to burn out the lining of the uterus. Siegle can perform some urogynecology and pelvic support surgery. Because of his involvement in teaching, he can do a lot of different up-todate gynecologic surgeries that other doctors might not even be aware of. Recently Dr. Siegle went back to school to become board certified in bariatric medicine, allowing him to help his patients with weight management, cholesterol, diabetes and laparoscopic surgeries. Siegle loves helping people and he brings this compassion into his clinic as well. He believes that everyone deserves healthcare and will work with his patients to make sure they get the care that they need. This attitude goes beyond medicine though; it is deeply ingrained in Siegle’s life philosophy. He says, “If you can do one thing in life, find a place to give back somewhere along the way, then you will be satisfied. Giving is the most predominate quality a person should have to achieve happiness. The other quality is forgiveness.” He doesn’t just speak these words; he lives them. Every year from Thanksgiving to Christmas, he and his family ring the Salvation Army bell at Walmart on Saturday nights. To remind himself of forgiveness, he got a tattoo on the back of his right shoulder that simply says, “Forgiveness.” “Blessed.” This is the word that Dr. Siegle uses to describe his life. He has eight children, stays fit and loves what he does. He loves giving back and providing a service to the whole community, regardless of income. He gets to work with a great staff and two wonderful PA’s, Jami Coleman and Elizabeth Thompson. He has the opportunity to see babies born but also confidence return to women struggling with their weight. So, if you are in need of obstetrics or gynecology, come visit Dr. Siegle. If you are in need of weight management, you can also come visit Dr. Siegle. The people at Southeastern Women’s Health Center will be glad to help you. You can find them at 807 N. Monte Vista or call for an appointment at (580) 332-8855. You will find health care, but you will also find compassion.
