From the EDITOR I’m going to the dance with the one who invited me! I was approached last June by the wonderful people at Buffalo Rock Golf & Gun to help them host a Bridal Fair. I discussed my invitation with The Corridor photographer, Crystl Percell, and she eagerly said, “I would love to do that!” So here we go – since July we have had numerous meetings to plan and prepare this event, including setting a date for February 23, 2019. David Hough, owner of HOTCO, as well Buffalo Rock Golf & Gun, passed away on November 26, 2018. David was an avid hunter, golfer, and sportsman, and had fairly recently purchased the former Cushing Country Club. Architects, along with David’s ideas, designed an amazing venue perfect for weddings, bridal fairs, and a host of other events, as well being ideal for various shooting competitions. Last but certainly not least, they manage

one of the finest golf courses in Oklahoma. As for now for numerous reasons, The Course of Your Life Bridal Fair has been postponed – not cancelled – only postponed! The Corridor Magazine, along with flyers, posters, Facebook announcements, and other notices, will definitely keep you informed. Please check our February issue of The Corridor to see how plans for this Bridal Fair have progressed as far as date and venue. The Buffalo Rock facility will close for an undetermined amount of time starting January 1, 2019, for golf, dining, shooting and any special events. Maintenance crews will continue to pamper the eighteen greens due to their special needs. Want to stay healthy? Enjoy this Health and Fitness issue for some great ideas on how to do just that!

6 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2019

Theodore Roosevelt once said “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty…”. This quote sums up my journey to a healthy lifestyle almost perfectly. It was not always easy, but was a process that molded me into who I am today. My journey began five years ago. January 1, 2014, I was a freshman in high school weighing 130 pounds at 5’3” tall. I was athletic with decent muscle tone. Looking back now I would not change a thing about myself, but I challenged myself to lose about five pounds to become more toned and lean out. I decided I was going to make small lifestyle changes such as cutting my portion sizes, not going back for seconds such as cutting down on the amount of sweets and carbs I ate, and drinking more water. I began trying out healthier foods and soon fell in love with “clean eating.” I noticed changes in my body and saw weight loss, both motivators. This decision was great, until it became an obsession and I began to appear very thin and frail. Not many people would express concern to me personally but friends and family would tell me what people were saying. Rumors were spread that I was starving myself. This was frustrating, because I wasn’t. I ate three meals a day. My perspective: I was losing body fat and leaning out. I was proud of myself and finally comfortable and confident within my own body. But I had become obsessed with what I ate, and feared unhealthy foods. I ate less than 1,000 calories each day with the bulk of my diet consisting of fruit, vegetables, yogurt and granola, salads, almonds, etc. These are all great foods but I was not getting an adequate amount of nutrition. Sweets, fried foods, or other “bad foods”, I thought, would cause immediate weight gain. I lost energy, and lost interest in going out to do things with friends and family. This caused my mom to suspect that I may be battling depression. She scheduled a doctor’s appointment for me to look into ways to solve this situation, at which time they discovered a surprisingly low heart rate, a protein deficiency, and they could not get a reading on my body temperature. In March of 2004, they admitted me to St. Francis Children’s Hospital where I stayed my whole spring break in Cardiology. I weighed in at the doctor’s office that day at 108 pounds, which was 22 pounds down from where I started in January. While there, I met with a nutritionist to learn how to incor-

porate healthy meals that would supply my body with the proper amount of nutrients. My doctors diagnosed me with anorexia nervosa, and instead of getting inpatient treatment at Laureate Psychiatric Clinic, I agreed to meet with an outpatient counselor, and implement the new style of eating obtained from the hospital’s nutritionist. After leaving the hospital, in a couple of months I began to try more foods that I used to be afraid of eating just months before. I loved the new freedom I felt in being able to eat all of the foods that I had not eaten for so long. However, since those around me were wanting me to gain weight, I began to overindulge and gained weight quickly. Before I knew it I had gained all of the weight back and then some in just a few months. Since the newly gained weight had come from binging on junk food, my body had a different composition than when I was previously at 130 pounds with far less muscle and much more body fat. When I realized this, I was again dissatisfied with my body. Since I had previously lost weight with “clean eating” I decided to try doing that again. However, this time I wasn’t able to stick with it as easily. After days of restrictions from unhealthy food, my mind would crave sugar and junk food, which led to not only giving into that craving, but completely binging on all of my restricted foods. This vicious cycle of restricting and binging led to months of weight gain and a lack of self confidence.

I had grown up with a father who had been a personal trainer and parents who would both regularly go to the gym. Around the end of 2014, I started going to the gym with my dad, and soon discovered my love for fitness and working out. I began to implement weight training, and cardio in my lifestyle on a regular basis. Along with a consistent workout routine, I started eating a well-balanced diet; consisting of protein, essential fats, and complex carbs.

I started to rebuild my confidence, and transform my body. I ate well-balanced meals a majority of the time, but would also be willing to treat myself occasionally. I stayed consistent with this process for about a year. At the end of 2014 before I started working out I was weighing 155 pounds. One year later at the end of 2015 I was weighing 135 pounds. In that one year of maintaining a regular workout routine, and eating a well-balanced diet, I was able to lose 20 pounds, and gain so much confidence. I felt like a new person! I was full of energy and life, and happier than I had ever been since my freshman year. This lasted for a few months into the beginning of 2016. Four months in, I began to struggle with a bit of stress, and would turn to food for comfort. I wasn’t going to the gym as often as I had been, and I started to notice a little bit of weight gain, and I was not exactly thrilled

with that, but since I was very active in sports, I didn’t gain rapidly. That is, until the summer of 2016 when I was involved in a rollover car accident. I left the accident with a broken wrist that required surgery to put pins in my hand and wrist, and a cast that kept me from playing sports for just over four months. I was inactive, bored, and stressed, all of which led me back to food for comfort. I slipped back into restrictions from “bad foods” to lose the weight, only to end up binging days later. This phase lasted all my senior year of high school and through the time I went away to college in August of 2017. The move to a place that I wasn’t familiar with, along with a variety of other issues at the time led to depression, binging, and e v e n m o r e w e i g h t gain. I now weighed in at 165 pounds. Some dramatic changes began to occur in my life and I decided that I was going to put myself first. I wasn’t purposely trying to lose weight at this time, but I began to respect and take care of my body, which led to a stress-free, happier life. I cut down my portion sizes, and quit restrictions and binging. On Christmas break 2017, I weighed 146 pounds. I was happy, and was finally gaining in confidence. While home on break I again began to frequent the gym and develop a regular workout routine.

Keeping Our Animal Family Healthy HIGHER HEALTH EQUINE MASSAGE THERAPY by MICHELLE BROWN / PHOTOS: PROVIDED

We all want our family members to be in good health. But what about those of us who consider our animals as part of our family? I come from one of those kinds of families and I certainly want my horses to be healthy. We are active in the showing and rodeo world and I like to give our horses every opportunity to look, feel, and perform at their highest level possible. Horses are athletes in my book and good health is a must as it is to any athlete. In my search to accomplish this, I learned about the many benefits of equine massage therapy. Besides, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love a neck rub, or back rub or, even better, a full body massage? I certainly do. And after Tristen Taylor of Higher Health Equine Massage Therapy began giving massages to our horses, I learned horses love a neck and back rub too! 10 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2019

The massage itself is no different than that massaging a person, but on a much larger and hairy body. The anatomy may be named differently but the massage is still quite similar to each area of the body. Tristen said that she starts at the pole of the horse (the area between the ears) and goes down the neck and proceeds down to the back and then onto the tail area. Next she massages the withers, down the shoulders, around to the abdomen, and back up to the gluteus, ending at the tail again. Finally, when Tristen finishes one side of the horse, she will repeat that entire technique on the other side. This whole process takes around an hour depending on the horse and its behavior. As she explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The condition of the horse is a huge factor in how long the massage will take. Some horses may require more attention in certain

areas. A horse that is well maintained usually has less soreness and requires less specific area attention.” The benefits of equine massage are enormous! Massage therapy will improve circulation and, as a result, will promote more rapid healing of injuries. Obviously, for any horse athlete, that benefit is significant. Other advantages of equine massage include the increase of muscle tone and range of motion, and reduction of muscle spasm and inflammation at the joint, thus reducing pain and swelling. Massage also relieves tension, stimulates the lymphatic system and hastens the elimination of toxins. The list of advantages of massage is long, but the bottom line is that it keeps the horse’s body in better condition and improves its overall health, all of which can occur in just a few massages. There are an enormous amount of skeletal muscles in a horse. Tristen said that some muscles cannot be reached physically during the massage, but can be positively affected by massaging the muscles that lay over, or beside those hard to reach muscles. Thus, knowledge of equine anatomy is vital in this vocation. Her cosmetology background made it slightly easier to learn the equine muscles since some muscle names related to the face and neck muscles of people are the same or similar for the horse. She attended Equiflex Equine Sports Massage Therapy of Durant, OK and then became state certified, which is a requirement in the state of Oklahoma. It is apparent, as I watch the body language of a horse during the massage, when the animal is beginning to relax. If a muscle or area is sore the horse may flinch, pull away or bite at her. Some horses pin their ears back or naw on air to show they are in pain. On the other hand, a horse may show signs of relief during the massage by moving into her hands almost to hug, relax a foot, yawn and lower their head as if becoming sleepy or even lick their lips. It is very important for Tristen to be in tune with the behavior of the horse to detect signs

of stress or relief during the massage. Positive psychological affects can also occur in a horse that has touch issues. The horse can relate to massage as a good thing and touch and handling the horse becomes easier. Anxiety is decreased, which can be a large problem for some horses. Tristen said, “Massage can remedy some of those problems experienced by horses that hinder their health and ultimately their performance.” To me, what she described that a horse experiences sounds quite similar to what we as humans experience with the daily stressors of life. Although the horse may weigh 1,200 pounds, carrying a rider while performing a task such as barrel racing, roping, stopping and starting, spinning, sliding, or taking off at a full run can be rough on the horse. Injuries, soreness and inability to do the job can occur. All athletes whether equine or human must be in good health and fit to perform to better prevent possible injury. Tristen has definitely turned her love for horses into a productive business and has hands that work wonders as she gives a massage. She not only helps the horse, she also helps the rider better understand the animal and how to achieve success as a team. And she admitted, “It is very gratifying to be able to communicate with a horse and know that I have made a positive difference in how that horse feels.” This occupation takes patience and perseverance since the horse cannot talk, but she is able to assess what your horse may need to better its performance, endurance and to just plain feel better on a daily basis. The frequency for massage will depend on the horse – how it is used – and the horse’s condition both mental and physical. It will also depend on the rider’s goals for that horse. This month as we become healthier along the Corridor, don’t forget to give attention to your four-legged family members! You can visit Tristen’s website at www. higherhealthequine.com. n

Jessica Riggin’s family enjoys healthy, planned meals on a regular basis.

What’s for Dinner? Resolution:

NOUN. A ‘firm decision’ to do or not to do something. by ROBBIE McCOMMAS

As we begin a new year many people resolute themselves to better life choices—individually. How about adopting a new life ‘firm decision’ for your whole family? Making sure your family is eating healthy, nutritious foods—daily. Yes, daily! Even on busy weeknights! For those who have read Oklahoma State University Extension office’s monthly newsletter you would be familiar with Lincoln County Oklahoma State University Family Consumer Science Educator Jessica Riggin. Jessica earned a master’s degree in nutrition and is a Registered Dietician. She offers great tips that seem easy to implement into a family’s structure. For the last 10 years Jessica has been planning meals on a monthly calendar for her family of four. She begins by printing off a calendar and sits down with a pen and Pinterest! With a formula in mind, the squares fill up fairly easily. Here’s a sample: Sunday: Large meat—roast or chicken. Monday: Soup (winter time) Tuesday: Left over from Sunday. Wednesday: Slow cooker and a tossed salad. 14 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2019

Thursday: Leftovers and a planned dessert. Friday: Breakfast for dinner. (Not pancakes or waffles, usually breakfast burritos.) Saturday: Kid-friendly hamburgers or homemade pizza. Sunday morning: Dad makes pancakes! With a formula, each family could navigate around their own weekly activities and provide nutritious foods without stress and hassle. After the calendar is filled, Jessica makes a grocery list for the week and either she or her husband grocery shop once a week. This way, when she is preparing meals, she knows she has all the ingredients. “Planning is crucial,” Jessica says. “If you don’t plan, you won’t do it and families are more likely to take the fast food route.” Negative aspects of fast food on the run include: • Eating so fast that your body doesn’t have time to recognize you fed it and consequently, eating more that sitting down at a table. • Meals are completely void of vegetables.

• Meals are high in fat and salt. Positive aspects of home cooked meals served at a table: • Food is healthier. • Family can spend time together and talk about the day. • Teaches the value of family meal time. • Children learn to cook. • All kids eat a higher volume of fruits and vegetables. • Gain psychological benefits: a. kids develop a stronger sense of belonging to family. b. teenagers are less likely to be depressed or use drugs. c. adolescents are more likely to be motivated at school and have better peer relationships. • Children learn communication skills. We can probably all agree home cooking is best all the way around. But lets be real, moms have to juggle work, kids, activities, chores and …nutrition. Jessica discouraged trying a ‘bigger’ meal on a night when something is going on. Also, use your smart phone and Pinterest recipes as a reference point. Let the kids help! Most can set a table, grate cheese, or toss a salad from these new salad kits. They could spread butter on bread or make sandwiches. Letting them help with meals teaches life skills and good eating habits. Jessica was pretty firm when she stated, “I will not be a short order cook! If they don’t like what is served, there’s no fixing something different! I encourage them to eat what I serve, and sometimes my four-year-old chooses not to.” “Kids are finicky eaters by nature. It takes several times before they’ll eat foods and accept them. Just

because they say they don’t like it, doesn’t mean they never will. Tastes change over time.” To quote author Ellyn Satter, Jessica said, “It’s the parents’ responsibility to provide nutritious food and the kids’ responsibility to eat it. We can’t force, we can encourage, provide and expose.” Snacks are hard for most people. Jessica suggested choosing a fruit, such as apple slices, paired with cheese. This becomes a great snack that provides fiber, vitamins, minerals and protein. It’ll hold you over until dinner. In contrast, with a cookie or snack cake you’ll be hungry again in half an hour. Have you ever read a health tip that suggests consumers should shop around the perimeter of grocery stores? This is because down the isles is where you’ll find all the processed foods that we should try to avoid. Vegetables. Fresh, frozen or canned? Jessica reminded that “frozen is less expensive than fresh. And, though canned vegetables get a bad rap, they’re good for you, too. Jessica’s January 2019 calendar is finished and will be hung on the refrigerator for the family to see. After years in plain site, her husband still asks, “What’s for dinner?” What if something comes up? No worries, just roll with it and start over tomorrow. “This meal plan method keeps my dinner time easy,” Jessica says, “and I’m offering good nutrition for the family.” n Jessica Riggin is the Lincoln County OSU Family Consumer Science Educator.

USE IT ... OR LOSE IT!

Those who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NRSV) They say, “If you don’t use it, you’ll loose it!” I know how true the saying can be. After having been an athlete in high school and college, I became a very part-time athlete. I still liked to play tennis and racket ball, and I loved church league softball, volleyball, bowling and golf. For years my athletic body tone enabled me to compete in these parttime athletic activities without too much difficulty. But watch out middle agers! All of a sudden, my youthful fitness disserted me! Imagine my shock at trying to throw a football with some a bunch of church kids only to have the ball hit the ground just a few yards in front of me! Ouch! Arthritis bit me in my shoulder! I’ve enjoyed hiking and backpacking in the mountain wilderness, but that also had become more difficult. One day in the winter of 2002 I accepted a challenge to play racket ball with a much younger pastor – I am very competitive – I wasn’t going to lose. I won the first two sets, but as we sat in the hallway having a cold drink of water, I felt as if somebody had dropped a load of bricks on my chest! I turned to my friend and asked, “Cletus, would you mind going to the front desk and have them call 911. I’m having a heart attack!” Recovering from quadruple bypass surgery, I knew I had to do something intentionally to keep my body fit. I’ve tried working out at a fitness center, but I have to tell you: I don’t like treadmills or exercise bikes. I can use these machines, but I’d rather be outside and moving in God’s creation, smelling the fresh air and enjoying all things green (and blue, and orange, and yellow and purple etc. I walk early four to six mornings each week. When the weather permits, I like walking from our house out onto the farm roads past the Old Stroud School House - about three miles 20 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2019

worth most mornings. Since I had hip replacement surgery two winters ago, I don’t do much running, but I walk briskly and I don’t shy away from hills. Hills are my friend. I can’t say that I actually wake up saying, “O Joy! It’s time to go walk my 3 miles, but it’s not unbearable, and I do enjoy looking for raccoon and coyote tracks and seeing the occasional deer. I just wish some of y’all would stop throwing your beer cans and cartons along the side of the road! Something like a miracle has happened to me as a result of all the brisk walking. I can climb stairs without breathing hard. At 60 years of age I had started to have a few balance issues. My balance has become much better. I’m able to climb ladders and install roof decking for our Habitat for Humanity work. I have taken part in several 5K run/walks and plan to do more. I am able to sing better in church and can hold my notes through the long passages in the Choir Cantata. I am able to help at our local food pantry and this summer I will do my 43rd year of church camp. When the weather outside is FRIGHTFUL, I’ve found an indoor walking track! In the early morning I head to the Route 66 Coliseum at Stroud High School. The Coliseum has a wonderful area above the seating; the school allows folks from the community to come walk indoors. Eight times around equals a mile. I usually do 24 to 30 laps in the morning. I was concerned that I wasn’t pushing my heart rate high enough walking on the level track, so I’ve begun adding stadium steps into my routine – there are lots of steps at the Coliseum! Makes my heart go pitter pat! Walking at the Coliseum offers another bonus, i.e., there’s often a cheer team, dance team, or basketball practice taking place. Everybody likes a floor show. n

From Tutus to the Pro Bowl by SHIRLEY TODD

Since she was a little girl, Kellee Cooper Adamson, knew she wanted to be a professional dancer, either on stage or on the sidelines. Through sacrifice and hard work, she made her dream come true. Adamson has been a cheerleader for the Tennessee Titans for four years and she was recently chosen to represent her squad in the Pro Bowl in Orlando, Florida, on Jan. 27. Adamson is a 2008 graduate of Bristow High School and a 2013 graduate of Oklahoma State University. She is the daughter of Dr. Chip and Peggy Cooper, Bristow. She began dancing at the age of three taking classes at Jean Anne’s School of Dance in Bristow and around the age of nine began classes at Patti Parrish School of Dance in Sapulpa. “I attended dance classes about three to four nights a week until I graduated from high school,” said Adamson. “I made some sacrifices to dance, but it was worth it.” She competed in dance competitions and took advanced classes under choreographers who are now seen on dance shows, So You Think You Can Dance and World of Dance. Adamson was a member of OSU Pom for four years, cheering for football, basketball and wrestling. After graduating from college she and her boyfriend, Andy, who is now her husband, moved to Nashville for work. Adamson said after a year, she missed sports and cheering and decided to audition for the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders. “I can’t believe I have been a part of this organization for four years,” she said. “I feel so lucky to be a part of such a great team.” Adamson said this season she was one of eight cheerleaders to travel with the Tennessee Titans to London to be an ambassador for the team. “It was a great experience. We got to

tour London and meet Titans fans from all over the world,” she said. Adamson was chosen to cheer in the Pro Bowl by her teammates, former Titans Pro Bowl cheerleaders and several departments within the Titans franchise. “There was an announcement party on December 7. None of us knew who would be chosen,” she said. “When I heard my name, I cried. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to represent my team at the Pro Bowl.” Adamson said she has about 15 to 20 routines to learn before she arrives in Orlando next month for the game. She has asked one of her teammates to help her learn all of these dances. “I am so excited to learn new dances, I love learning from new choreographers,” she said. Adamson said she should receive her schedule for the Pro Bowl after Christmas and said that she is very excited that her entire family will be attending the Pro Bowl. “I am so excited to share this experience with my husband, parents and siblings,” she said. “I can’t wait to be a part of the Pro Bowl and meet cheerleaders who are representing the other teams. I will have new friends from across the country.”

JUMP into JANUARY! by MICHELLE BROWN

J A N U A R Y

JUMP. Jump into 2019! Set your mind to create a healthy and fit you. Whether you join an official exercise program or you exercise using a home program jump up and join in! It need not be expensive or produce another chore for you. As many of us along The Corridor live rurally, we don’t have the luxury of going to the gym. Devise your own exercise routine, but make it a simple, doable one you can commit to. The goal is to jump to a healthier new you! AQUA. Water is vital to our body’s daily function. Yet most of us do not drink near enough. Some of us do not drink any at all! Our skin, vital organs, muscle contraction, kidney function and so much more all depend on adequate fluid hydration. And NO Corridor readers, soda and diet drinks are not a substitution for H2O! Make a commitment to drink at least 8-8oz. glasses of water daily. NEGATIVE. Negative thoughts will never create positive results. Be kind to yourself. Do not expect perfection. Remember a change in habits will take time, so cut yourself some slack if you have a day of old habits. Don’t let one bad day nurture a negative attitude for days to come. Get back on track staying confident that you will succeed. UNIVERSAL. The struggle for a healthy mind and body is real for each and every one of us. Men, women and even children have to work at living healthy. Do not feel alone. With the daily pressures of life, we all wrestle with time to be physically active in order to stay healthy. Keep at it!

ACCOMPLISHMENT. Celebrate accomplishments, no matter how small or large they may be. When even the smallest of goals is met, give yourself credit. Do not ignore your accomplishments, but rather build on the weekly. REST. Positive effects of a good night’s sleep are underestimated. Rest is how the body heals and rejuvenates from life physical and mental stressors. Rest is an absolute must to produce healthiness. Give yourself permission to get plenty of sleep in order to tackle our fitness goals. YOU CAN DO IT! Lasting achievements come slow, so do not give up. If you “fall off the wagon”, do not stay there. Regroup, engage in a positive routine and continue on. Pursue your goals with enthusiasm and determination. YOU CAN DO IT!! Use January 2019 to begin a year of new routines, goals and accomplishments. Be ready! The Corridor is about to look and feel better than ever!

NO NEED TO MAKE RESOLUTIONS

Just Live a Life of Quotes

2019

by JOE GOOCH

Why not start this article with a quote...

“If it ain’t, broke don’t fix it.” Maybe you enjoy making New Year’s resolutions that you never keep. If you do then don’t fix them, in fact don’t even read this story. I am sure someone has done a survey on the percentage of New Year’s resolutions that are kept and broken. My personal guess is less than five percent are actually kept. If that is the case why not make a 2019 quote? In a weaker moment I considered making a resolution of losing weight, until someone said, “Have you lost your mind?” What can we do with a quote? OR “What does this have to do with the price of tea In China?” You can use quotes daily. You can impress people with quotes. You can irritate people. You can make people think. You can make people laugh. You can learn from quotes. There are thousands of famous quotes. What is yours?

Keep reading I will give you a few to choose from. I considered not writing this article. “It’s better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” However several things inspired me. My son Brian was telling me about his annual hunting trip to Kansas on which a friend declined to go. His reason for not going was that he preferred a different style of hunting. I told Brian, that he should have told his friend, “While in the jungle do as the natives.” OR “When in Rome do as the Romans.” Brian asked, “Do you have a quote for everything?” Another inspiration was when my brother-in-law, Mike Presley, gave me a T-shirt for Christmas that reads, “If a man speaks in a desert where no woman can hear, is he still wrong?”

“The man, who says his wife can’t take a joke, forgets that she took him.” ~ Oscar Wilde “Marriage is the only war where you sleep with the enemy.” ~ Gary Busey “Always get married in the morning, that way if it doesn’t work out, you haven’t wasted the whole day.” ~ Mickey Rooney “I haven’t spoken to my wife in years; I didn’t want to interrupt her.” ~ Rodney Dangerfield “The husband who wants a happy marriage should learn to keep his mouth shut, and his checkbook open.” ~ Grocho Marx

“If a man speaks in a desert where no woman can hear, is he still wrong?”

40 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2019

Drawing by Sharon Flatt

And now for a few marriage quotes...

...And do any of these sound familiar? “Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.” ~ John Kennedy “Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.” ~ Frank Robinson “Were you born in a barn?” ~ Unknown “Patience is a virtue wanted by all but practiced by few.” ~ Unknown “Occasionally even a blind squirrel finds an acorn.” ~ Unknown “Having one child makes you a parent; having two makes you a referee.” ~ Unknown “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.” ~ Unknown “This is harder to find than a needle in a hay stack.” ~ Unknown “It’s deader than a door nail.” ~ Unknown “You can catch more flies with sugar than vinegar.” ~ Unknown “Inch by inch, anything’s a cinch.” ~ Unknown “Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.” ~ Unknown “Be nice to your kids. They’ll be the ones choosing your nursing home.”~ Unknown “Winners never quit and quitters never win.” ~ Vince Lombardi “Don’t look back something may be gaining on you.” ~ Satchel Page “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” ~ Yogi Berra “Congratulations! I knew the record would stand until it was broken.” ~ Yogi Berra

“It took me seventeen years to get 3000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.” ~ Hank Arron “Fish and visitors smell after three days.” ~ Benjamin Franklin “All I know is what I read in the newspaper.” ~ Will Rogers “I am not a member of any organized group, I am a Democrat.” ~ Will Rogers “Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.” ~ General George Patton “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” ~ Abraham Lincoln “Money can’t buy you happiness, but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery. ~ Unknown Speaking of money, one of my favorite quotes comes from Ray Wade, formerly with Central Oklahoma Federal Credit Union. “Business goes where it’s invited, and stays where it’s appreciated.” Ray said that since the inception of “THE CORRIDOR” Magazine, his board of directors had renamed their market area The Corridor. Since I started with a quote I’d better end with a quote. But first, a couple of quotes about quotes. “Children seldom misquote. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn’t have said.” Please remember for 2019 this quote. “Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away.”

I hope when we pass along “The Corridor” we can share some quotes. Let’s just say this is my way of helping you kick off 2019! So here is my final quote...

Have a Happy New Year!

Delilah’s DILEMMAS

It was just after midnight when Delilah and Joel were awakened by the sound of an intruder downstairs. Delilah, fearing it was Mr. Creepy, procured the Ruger on her bedside table and hustled to the dark hall where she was met by Joel, who had rushed from his bedroom. “Go back in your room, and close the door,” Delilah told Joel. “No way!” Joel objected in screaming whisper. “Joel,” Delilah insisted. “Please, go back in your room and call Gus. Tell him to call the sheriff.” Footsteps came from the kitchen toward the staircase. Delilah and Joel froze. Delilah waved Joel back to his room, but Joel remained in place. As the intruder grew closer, Delilah took the gun in both hands, stepped toward the railing, and aimed over the banister. When the figure came into view, she pulled the trigger. There was a bang, a thud, and a crash. Delilah and Joel looked at each with wideeyed shock, though it was so dark they weren’t able to make out each other’s expressions. “Babe, did you intend to kill the television?” “That’s Eli,” Joel said, as he hot-footed toward Delilah, and then down the stairs. The hall light came on, and Delilah saw Eli standing at the foot of the staircase with his hand on the switch. “You know there’s also a switch up there that turns the light on,” he said with a flirtatious grin. “Yeah, well, I was so consumed with terror that turning the light on never crossed my mind,” Delilah said. When Delilah got to the first floor, Eli very gingerly took the gun from Delilah’s hand. “Let’s just put that in a safer place,” Eli said, setting the Ruger on the entry hall table. He took her into his arms and kissed her, slowly and intensely. And just when Delilah thought she would faint from lack of oxygen, Eli loosened his hold on her. “I missed you,” Eli said softly. “I missed you, too,” Delilah said. “Really?” Eli said, becoming playful again. “Huh, most people don’t shoot at someone they’ve missed.” 44 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / JANUARY 2019

DIANE BROWN

“How did she do this?” Joel yelled from the living room. “Funny,” Delilah said to Eli, and she slapped his arm. “I mean, seriously! How did she do this?” Joel went on. He was standing over the dead television shattered on the floor when Delilah and Eli joined him in the living room. “It’s mathematically impossible,” Joel said. “The bullet would had to have turned a corner.” Eli laughed. “And that’s why we don’t let her use firearms,” he said. “I think you need to stick to using a toilet plunger to defend yourself.” “Is that an inside j o k e ? ” J o e l asked. “No,” Eli replied. “I recall one other night when I came in late and unexpected, she shoved a plunger in my c h e s t and knocked me down the stairs.” “Delilah!” Joel exclaimed. “Alright, I think I’ve been thoroughly abused enough for one night,” Delilah said. “I’m going back to bed. Good night, Eli. And good night again, Joel.” After Delilah crawled back in bed, and just as she was about to doze off, it occurred to her that she hadn’t asked Eli about his trip. And as anxious as she was to find out about her cousin Abigail’s escapades, her exhaustion won out. So, she decided to Scarlett her interrogation of those events. “I can’t think about that now. I’ll

think about it in the morning,” she whispered to herself as she drifted off to sleep. Sure enough, the next morning, when Delilah woke a little later than usual, the first thing she thought of was Eli being home, and what he’d done while he was away. Breakfast was already well underway by the time Delilah was dressed and downstairs. Dooby had driven out from Cushing, and was sitting with Eli at the banquette, their heads together in deep, secret conversation. Marietta was standing at the stove, turning bacon in a skillet. “Where’s Joel and Gus?” Delilah asked. “Making sure the animals get their breakfast,” Marietta said. Delilah gave Eli a quick peck on the lips, and then she kissed Dooby’s bald head. She slid onto the banquette bench. “So, was your trip productive?” Delilah asked. “If by productive you mean “bust Abigail,” the answer is no,” Eli said. He and Dooby exchanged a furtive glance. “Coffee, Delilah?” Marietta asked. “Yes, please,” Delilah said. “I take it then there’s nothing to tell,” Delilah said with marked disappointment. “Not yet,” Eli said. Sensing that her efforts to engage in informative conversation were for not, Delilah decided to change direction. “How’s Karon feeling?” she asked Dooby. “A little better,” Dooby offered. “She’s still sore. And breathing is still painful.”

“And what’s on the agenda today?” “Well, let’s see,” Dooby said, a smile widening on his face. “Apparently, we have a new television to purchase.” “Five minutes,” Delilah said, vigorously nodding her head. “It took all of five minutes for y’all to make a joke about that. I’m surprised you waited so long.” Breakfast was eaten, the dishes were washed, and the men had gone to town with a promise to return with new, bigger, better, and greatly improved television. Late in the afternoon, after much coaxing on Delilah’s part, Karon came out to the ranch for supper. She and Dooby, Gus and Marietta, Eli, Joel and Delilah sat watching the evening news on the monstrosity of a TV that took up one entire corner of the living room. The unit that had housed the dead boob-tube was too small, which prompted the guys to go back to town to purchase a new entertainment center. In larger than life, high-definition clarity, an unflattering picture of Abigail and Henry flashed on the screen, Delilah gasped as the news commentator read the story. “In national news, a Macon, Georgia housewife and her husband were detained in customs at the Atlanta International Airport yesterday. Upon arriving from an overseas vacation, authorities seized integrated circuits containing highly sensitive military information.” Delilah bolted from the sofa as her landline rang. “Oh, my stars!” Delilah exclaimed. Her eyes were glued on the television, and she seemed unaware of the ringing phone.

“At this time the couple are being held without bond,” the commentator continued. “Oh, holy crow!” Delilah said, with a grin. Her grin broadened when the call went to the answering machine, and her mother’s voice shrieked with absolute, terrified hysteria. “Delilah, pick up the phone,” Hannah cried. “I know you’re there. Have you seen the news? For the love of Pete! We are ruined. This is awful, just awful! Delilah Leigh Beauregard? I will call every ten minutes until you answer me. I mean it. I can’t,” BEEP. Delilah rounded on Eli whose attention was still focused on the news. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Delilah asked. Eli pushed the mute button on the remote. Yes, he already had the remote in his hand because he’s a man, and the television was new, and it was on. “To be perfectly honest,” Eli replied. “I didn’t anticipate it going down that fast. But I can understand why they wanted to get her coming in on that flight.” “Now they can charge with international espionage,” Dooby said. “Did you know they were going to bust her this fast?” Eli asked Dooby. “No,” Dooby said. “My contacts didn’t mention it.” “One thing is certain,” Eli said. “If they make the charges

stick, she’ll be going away for a long time.” Delilah fizzed with excitement. She jumped up and down, threw her arms in the air, and danced like a wanna-be cheerleader. Delilah wasn’t an awful person for taking pleasure in the misfortune of her cousin. On the contrary. Abigail had been insensitive, vicious, vindictive, and conniving since she was five years old. She was disrespectful to her parents, indifferent to her first husband and their three children, and believed everyone who drew breath was beneath her, unless of course they could advance her social standing and increase her bank account. And eventually, trusting no one to do the job better, she took it upon herself to improve her lot in life by becoming one of the most infamous runners of illegal guns, gems and now, military secrets; code name, Mrs. Wrigley. Hannah had always defended Abigail and congratulated her “ambition.” Likely because Hannah was “ambitious” herself. She often urged Delilah to be more like Abigail. Naturally her tone would change, now that she’d discovered Abigail’s disregard for the law. Then again, Delilah wasn’t entirely certain that her mother’s opinion of Abigail would be altered. Ironically, Delilah had always been the favorite Beauregard heir, and not solely because she was the firstborn of that generation. Out of jealousy for Delilah’s position in the family hierarchy, Abigail took every opportunity to make

Delilah’s life a living hell. Delilah danced over to the phone and hit the play button on the answering machine. She listened intently. “I’m never going to erase that message,” Delilah trilled. “I’m going to play it twice a day for the rest of my life.” Eli and Dooby laughed. “You are twisted!” Eli said. Dooby’s phone rang, and he stepped into the entry hall to answer it. After a moment, he returned to the living room with a totally perplexed look on his face. He plopped down in the wing back chair. “It wasn’t my contacts,” he said. “Then who got her?” Eli asked. “They’re not sure,” Dooby replied. The pair looked at each other in horror. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking,” Eli said. n

NOTES ALONG THE

Corridor

by RICK REILEY

Country Music, Family Ties: The J.D. BROWER BAND I envisioned writing a story once, about a musician who was raised on a farm on the banks of Stillwater Creek. A fellow who never went to town, never left the farm until the day his mama and daddy gave him the oars to the family rowboat and told him to head on into town to meet people and get an education and make a name for himself. And when I first saw a picture of Stillwater singer/ songwriter, J.D. Brower, I thought my dream had come true! He perfectly fit the image I had in mind! But no. He wasn’t born on a farm on the banks of Stillwater Creek. And no, he didn’t row a boat into town. As is turns out he was born in Stillwater, raised, educated there and grew into the music business naturally

from a strong church and family music background. Listening to him perform reminds me a lot of my first taste of 60’s country jukebox music. It brings to mind some of the old heroes such as Buck Owens and George Jones. But it also seems right at home next to the music of Garth Brooks, Waylon Jennings and George Strait. Good country music is timeless, like good music in general. His music has family ties, it started there and is still connected. He began singing in church with the family when he was 5 years old. His grandma played the organ in their church. His grandparents bought him his first guitar when he was 14. He learned from older guys who used to gather for monthly jam sessions. When he was the ripe old age of 11 his mom bought him a recorder. (A recorder is like a flute. I have to keep reminding myself of that because that’s not what springs

to mind when I hear the term). He took it to his elementary school teacher and she taught him to play Amazing Grace on it. I bet he can still do it! Later he played the tuba in middle school. Today he concentrates solely on guitar and voice as his instruments of choice. At some point during his early school years he wrote his first song, a gospel number called Believe in the Truth. Then, later, he wrote another song, after awakening from a bad dream, Fat Man Blues, a lighthearted look at a common situation. ‘One of my most memorable moments,” he said. The J. D. Brower Band consists of J.D. on vocals and guitar. L. D. Brower (J.D.’s dad) of Stillwater, OK, sings backup vocals and harmonica. Blake Houser (his brother-in-law) of Perkins, OK, plays the bass. Josh Hebensperger, of Drumright, OK, plays lead guitar. Mason Davis, of Stillwater, OK, plays rhythm guitar. Justin Case, of Stillwater, plays drums. After winning a Stillwater Country Music Showdown they’ve been gaining in popularity and have a CD ready to be released in January, 2019 titled, “Whiskey Memories”. Their tour dates over the last year took them from Stillwater to Amarillo, to Dallas, to Yale, to Ponca City to Perkins, Tishomingo and back to Stillwater and points in between. They’ve been well received wherever they’ve performed. J.D’s originals are clever and heartfelt and he sings them with solid conviction. His songs, Timber, Whiskey Memories, The Legend of Jesse James, are all a good mixture of what country music is about; telling stories, dreaming out loud and looking for the good times in the process. Those are also three of the favorites of his regular followers. From Timber by J.D. Brower... ‘I yell ‘Timber’ I’m fallin for you I can’t wait to see how this night ends…..’ Everyone likes the promise, or at least the illusion of a good time don’t they? Although the band promotes the songs of J.D. Brower,

they don’t shy away from covers at all. In fact they dive into them full force. They cover everything from Johnny Cash to Don Williams, to Garth Brooks and Stevie Ray Vaughan, from Christ Stapleton to Travis Tritt, from Clint Black and Darius Rucker to Stoney LaRue and Cody Jinks and a lot of rockin’ country in between. This band sets out to bring a good time to the party. KOSU radio has also featured one of J. D’s. songs, Timber, and calls the band ‘one to watch’ on the Oklahoma Rock Show. The band has also been nominated for Country Artist of the Year for the Tulsa Music Awards. January 18th in Stillwater is a date to pencil in for ‘date night’. The band and will be performing an album release party at Tumbleweed in Stillwater with the doors swinging open at 8pm. There will be a photo booth, merchandise and giveaways as well as an energetic performance by a lively and devoted crew of musicians known as the J. D Brower Band. They will also be debuting their first video to the waiting public. For more information follow the J.D. Brower Band on Facebook or do a Google search and find out even more. `Tell ‘em I sent you! n
