Local composers find harmony in unconventional approach to song craftings

By Sunnie Dawn Smith

W

hile Victoria Davison and Rudy Lupinski first met in the late-1980s, it wasn’t until 2005 that they started working together as composers. Both are musicians with their own distinct styles and personalities, but when they come together, their talents combine to create music using the best of each other’s abilities.

Davison is originally from Ada, though she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in voice-teaching from Tulane University.

She later went on to pursue a successful career in commercial real estate in the Washington, D.C. area. After she married her husband Denver Davison she returned to Ada and also returned to music. Her first choral anthem was debuted by the St. Luke’s Episcopal Choir in 1999, and then in 2004 the East Central University Chorale premiered three more of her choral anthems.

Lupinski was born in Heidelberg, Germany, but he moved to Ada when he was about two years old. He received his Bachelor of Arts in instrumental music education from ECU and has since taught as an adjunct and full-time professor there, focusing on piano and music theory. He is the ECU staff accompanist and lends his talents to musicals, individuals and other performances around town.

When Davison and Lupinski decided to work together in 2005, they had no idea how fruitful their partnership would become, they said. They have since written 82 pieces and are the resident composers for the ECU Chorale and Singers under the direction of Steven Walker, whom they credit with much of their success due to his support and expertise.

Though they collaborate, they don’t fit the classic image of two composers sitting at a piano hashing things out. Instead, technology is a large part of their process, specifically music notation software like Finale.

Davison credits God as her major source of inspiration.

“For me it all starts with the Lord,” Davison said. “I will get these melodies, then I will work at the computer at home and do all of the voicing. Sometimes I hear 4 • www.adahub.com

instruments with the choral parts, and I’ll just write everything out.”

Davison is the one who starts working from pure inspiration, just putting everything down that comes to her. After she is finished with her initial composition, she sends it to Lupinski. She said she usually leaves the accompaniment blank, and he has a chance to look at it and listen to it.

If he thinks there is potential in the composition, then they will get together at Davison’s house and go over it measure by measure at the computer, Lupinski said.

While Davison has the initial inspiration, Lupinski has the music theory background that helps finish the piece, making it compositionally sound.

“When she presents the music, she presents a wealth of material, and my job is to edit,” Lupinski said.

It is more than just editing, though. The two individual composers said they bring their own strengths together, working as a team to create music that is better than either could compose on their own.

“When we first started out, he would ask ‘Why did you do this?’ And I would say ‘Why not?’” Davison said. “Sometimes he will describe me to people as being unconventional, because I don’t really think about what I’m doing. It just flows. When

I’m creating the piece, it is total freedom. I know if there is something that is going to be cliche or not going to work, then I also know he will fix it.”

The two trust each other's abilities and instincts, and that trust allows them to create beautiful music together. While the majority of their music is sacred choral music, some is also for solo voice, some is unaccompanied, some with many different instruments and some pieces are even written for children. Their music is tonal, lyrical and melodic though composed in a variety of different choral styles. Lupinski is very careful to make sure that every piece sounds different and unique and always keeps the chord progressions fresh so their music has a sound distinct to them while also sounding original.

Of their extensive choral repertoire, all but six pieces have been performed by the ECU Chorale or Singers. Their music is also performed by various church choirs in the community as well. Their music is currently published by Santa Barbara Music Publishers.

To bring Christmas cheer to downtown, businesses along Main Street created and lit holiday displays in their front windows as one of many efforts to create a festive holiday shopping atmosphere this year.

Main Street helps shoppers keep their dollars home for the holidays

By Sunnie Dawn Smith

W

hile there are many wonderful things about the Christmas season, one of the things that can be most joyous – and most frustrating – is the shopping. People scramble about trying to find that perfect present for their loved ones while also trying to find the best deal for their wallets.

This is one of the reasons why many people turn to the Internet for their shopping. However, Amy Kaiser, program director for Ada Main Street, said people are missing out on an amazing opportunity right here in their own community – enjoying the holiday atmosphere, deals and personal touch that one can get while shopping local on Ada’s Historic Main Street.

Many of the businesses on Ada Main Street offer special deals and programs leading up to Christmas. They take extra time to help prepare Christmas crafting projects for kids, Kaiser said.

6 • www.adahub.com

They bring Santa in from the North Pole in order to meet their customers. They extend their business hours so people can still get what they need when they get off work and shop in a hasslefree environment.

These business owners are residents of Ada who take their own time away from their families in order to provide a service during the holiday season, Kaiser said. Their kids go to school here, their spouses work here and they are deeply involved in making Ada a better and closer community. Because of all of this, they can also offer services that shoppers can’t find online.

“I can order on Amazon, but I can’t have a store owner greet me, ask me how my kids are and create wishlists for them to present to husbands when they come in asking what you want for Christmas,” Kaiser said.

Shopping on Ada Main Street isn’t just about buying things, Kaiser said. It is about developing personal relationships, supporting the community and getting services individualized for the customer’s needs.

This year, Kaiser was able to get many of the business owners together for a once-a-month meeting in order to plan a unified approach to the holiday season and give the business owners a sense of ownership not just over their own stores but downtown as a whole, she said. For instance, because the Christmas lights on Main Street won’t be ready until next year, the business owners have decided to make a special effort to dress their windows and leave the lights on at night in order to make the downtown more festive. Kids can drop off their letters to Santa at the Farm Girl Boutique. They decided to have special days where they bring in food trucks and make Main Street more of a party atmosphere to help people get into the Christmas spirit. In addition to Small Business Saturday, they also had Festive Friday and stayed open up until the Christmas parade – and some during or after – to use the occasion as a kind of open house for the public to see what they have to offer. They ordered a special sleigh to be set up in Juliana Park that is decorated with lights so people can take holiday photos. Every Thursday leading up to Christmas, most businesses will stay open until 7 p.m., and customers can take carriage rides downtown for free when they present a receipt from a business on Main Street.

In addition to all of these events designed to bring people downtown, the business owners also decided to open on Christmas Eve even though it falls on a Sunday this year. Most businesses will be open 1-4 p.m., though customers should check with individual businesses for specific hours. They have decided to call it “Your Procrastination Destination” and will be available to help people get those last-minute gifts that they might not have had time to purchase.

Kaiser is passionate about shopping local.

“It’s not just a movement of the day,” Kaiser said. “It is a whole concept that small towns have to embrace if we want to keep our downtown open. We need to keep the businesses we have, open new businesses, and support them.”

Kaiser is thankful that the City of Ada and the Chamber of Commerce have been so supportive of Ada Main Street efforts.

The City of Ada supports and values the store owners and wants them to succeed. They work together to make Ada Main Street a success. However, Kaiser said the success can only truly come when members of the community decide to visit these shops, get to know the owners and receive the personalized shopping experience that they cannot find anywhere else.

Public Library Offers Christmas Crafts and Fun All Year

By Sunnie Dawn Smith

O

n Dec. 21, the Ada Public Library located at 124 S. Rennie St. will be hosting their annual Christmas party.

This is a holiday tradition that has been going for more than five years, and this year will be the biggest one yet. In the past, there has been one celebration in the afternoon, but due to the large number of previous participants, the library will feature one event in the morning at 10:30 a.m. and one in the afternoon at 1:30 p.m. This year, partygoers can enjoy pictures with Santa Claus and a variety of holiday crafts, including picture frames, snowflakes, Christmas trees, jewelry and ornaments.

Debbie Whelchel, children’s librarian at the Ada Public Library, said the Christmas party is a wonderful way to provide something for everyone and bring people into the library who might not otherwise come. It is free and open to the public, which gives all members of the community an opportunity to come together this time of year. It is important to bring kids and their families into the library, because it can inspire some to begin a lifelong love of learning. While they may come for the Christmas crafts, they also may come back to take advantage of the many other free programs that the library offers throughout the year.

The library’s programs for children begin at birth. At 10:30 a.m. on Fridays, Whelchel hosts Lapsit Storytime, which is designed for the youngest patrons ages 0-3. During storytime, she will read books, sing songs, put on puppet shows, let the children play with developmentally appropriate toys, do crafts and develop social skills they may not get elsewhere. This also gives parents a chance to get to know one another, making lifelong friendships in some cases.

Preschool Storytime is currently at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, and it is designed for kids ages 3 and older. Whelchel said this is similar to Lapsit Storytime but geared toward a slightly older group of children – those who may be beginning to learn their numbers, letters and basic reading skills.

The programs go way beyond small chil-

dren, though. At 4 p.m. on the first Friday of every month, Whelchel hosts a Lego Club for children ages 7 and up. The library provides the Legos, and she gives the children a specific challenge and helps them use their engineering creativity in order to make their vision a reality. For past special sessions, Whelchel has used a product called Lego Mindstorm designed for children ages 8 and up. This is a basic robotics program that incorporates coding and a computer generated brain, which lets the children program and control the robots that they build. Building on the basic coding involved in the Lego robotics program, Whelchel has also offered a program called Google CS First, which is an eight-week program designed to teach kids the basics of coding. Whelchel said these programs are tremendously important.

“We need to get their brains wired for this process,” she said. “All of this is going to lead to people who can think critically about how these things work and how we create new technologies.”

In addition to these programs, the library also hosts many other activities for children, including special days where they may make cards to send to service members, days when they celebrate Dr.

Seuss and days when they let the kids play age-appropriate video games in a social environment where they can enjoy each other’s company. They also had an entire week of activities this month based on the release of the new Star Wars movie, including crafts, games, stories, movies and Legos.

Whelchel started as a clerk at the Ada Public Library in 1991. She worked in many different positions, eventually receiving her master’s degree in library and information studies from the University of Oklahoma. When the children’s librarian position became available in 2006, Whelchel said it was a dream come true. She loves children, and she loves reading. It was the perfect job for her. She is always trying to find new ways to engage and educate children, helping them discover a love for reading but also a love for learning.

“Library programs are all about getting people into a lifelong habit of learning,” Whelchel said. “It is a great resource and a great way to spend time with family.”

For more information about these and other programs, visit the library or call 580-436-8125. The website, www.ada. lib.ok.us, also provides a detailed schedule and a link to the library’s Facebook page. www.adahub.com • 9

Mama T’s B&B to offer help, hospitality to county’s homeless

By Sunnie Dawn Smith

W

hile people might not always see it, homelessness is a problem in Pontotoc County. It affects people of all ages and can have many different causes. For Dania Deschamps-Braly, homelessness has become a large part of her life not because she is homeless, but because she has made helping them part of her mission in life.

Deschamps-Braly – a local attorney – had taken off work to stay home and take care of her mom during the last year of her life. Taking care of her ailing parent also took up most of her time and mental energy. Near the end she found herself thinking, “When something happens to mom, what should I be doing?”

She said at first it seemed like God didn’t answer, but then about a week or two before her mother passed away Deschamps-Braly woke up in the middle of the night thinking, “Ada needs a 24hour homeless shelter.”

She started talking to other people with whom she had worked on civic projects and quickly got a board together. The board members donated some of their own money in order to get things started. Then one day, Deschamps-Braly was having lunch with acquaintance Siham Ramadan and was telling her about the project.

Ramadan was excited about the prospect of helping so many people in this way, and so she and her 10 • www.adahub.com

husband Tawfik Ramadan donated a building that they owned and dedicated it in memory of their daughter who had passed away, Dr. Raniyah Ramadan. This was the beginnings of their shelter – Mama T’s B&B (Bread and Blessings).

They began work in 2015, and it has been slow going, especially because so much of the work is on a volunteer basis. DeschampsBraly said it truly has been a community effort. The foundation was giving way and the walls were bowing, so Steve Gregory from RamJack gave them a good deal on the foundation and the roof.

The Knights of Columbus came in and began taking care of the carpeting and drywall. They also have so many other to thank, such as Redland Childers Architects, Nickerson Plumbing, Home Depot, Ada Sales and Rental, MacHill Construction, Mead Lumber, Woods Dirt Contractors, United Way, Mercy Hospital, the Chickasaw Nation as well as other individuals, organizations and churches in the community.

Now two years later, the shelter’s first phase is set to open late December. Phase one will consist of Mama T’s bringing in two nighttime supervisors and letting people come in to sleep, take a shower, eat breakfast and leave during the day, Deschamps-Braly said. This allows people to have shelter during the coldest and most dangerous part of the day and could save lives.

However, they are still working toward the final phase of the project. This is the part that Deschamps-Braly said she is most excited about. When people enter the shelter, they will be presented with a booklet that lists all the available services in Pontotoc County. They can stay for seven days after which they must choose a program that deals with the issues that brought them to homelessness. Once they have chosen those programs, they may stay as long as they are attending those programs and making progress toward their goal. They will also be doing chores at the shelter as part of their room and board. The goal at Mama T’s is not just to provide shelter, but to give residents “a hand-up, not a hand-out.”

In order for Mama T’s to fully open, however, more donations are needed. They have a nonprofit status that allows all donations to be tax-deductible. Once they are fully operational, they will also need volunteers, Deschamps-Braly said.

Unfortunately, children are also affected by homelessness, so the organization may need people to help watch children while their parents are searching for work. They would also like for volunteers to come in and help teach the kids to read. In fact, one local resident is planning on teaching basic etiquette courses to the children. Other people will teach classes on different types of crafting to help give these individuals something to sell at local farmer’s markets and craft fairs to bring in a little money in between jobs, Deschamps-Braly said. While money made from crafting most likely will not pull someone out of homelessness, it can do wonders for their self-esteem, which is essential to getting back on their feet.

Deschamps-Braly’s favorite quote is a paraphrase of something Mother Teresa – for whom Mama T’s is named – once said: “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

It is this idea of everyone coming together to do small things that will lead to the success of Mama T’s B&B, Deschamps-Braly said. No single person can build a shelter or fund a shelter, but a community pulling together can do great things.
