From the EDITOR
I’m not only tired of this cold weather...I’m ready to play some golf. Let’s see, I’ll grab my phone and call City Chuck. One ringy dingy, two ringy dingies, “Let’s go play some golf! We can tee it high and watch it fly!” Speaking of golf, check out your local golf courses in this issue. If it seems like I have a goofy little story to tell you each month...and I do...since this is the sports issue, allow me to tell another. Back in 1964 Coach Roy Grissom took the Stroud 9th grade boys basketball team to Depew for a tournament. I’m not sure what team we were playing, but they certainly laughed over the Joe Gooch/John Terry excursion. After absorbing fresh strategy from Coach Roy during half time, we were eager for the jump ball to get the 2nd half started. Our center, Joe Bill Shalhope, won the tip and John and I were off! There was only one problem: we were passing the ball back and forth while headed to the opposing team’s goal! Coach Grissom and teammates were yelling loud enough that we pulled up just before we shot the layup for two points in the opposing team’s favor. Our excuse was this: well that was OUR basket the first half of the game. TRUE STORY! Can you handle just one more little short story? While coaching my son Brian’s baseball team in Tulsa, the
by JOE GOOCH
opposing coach had his catcher hold a few small rocks in his hand. As his pitchers started their wind-up the catcher would hit my batter’s shoe with a rock. While the ball was hitting the catcher’s mitt our batters were looking at their ankles. Very shortly I was visiting with the Umpire! ANOTHER TRUE STORY! I hope to see you in Prague on May 6th for the 60th Annual Kolache Festival. This fun festival began in 1959 and is popular and well-attended as the year it began! Also please read on page 22 how and why the Bristow merchants right here along The Corridor chose to host an Annual Tabouleh Festival! Very interesting... Be sure and pick up The Corridor Magazine each month so that you don’t miss out on any of our wonderful local festivals this year!

GOLFING: Leisure, Sport or Career
Never let it rest, until your good is better and your better is best. by ROBBIE McCOMMAS
Birdie, bogey, par, eagle, albatross, tee, fairway and caddie = terminology of a sport that while played in a relaxing, serene and beautiful environment can be extremely frustrating at the same time. “There’s just something about the game—when you hit a good shot, it brings you back for more. I’ve been playing golf since I was in seventh grade when my dad taught me to play,” says Braden Evans. The youngest of three boys and one sister, Braden is the son of Dean and Cindra Evans. Some of his favored moments are playing with his dad and brothers on weekends in the summer. “Most vacations we’d pack our clubs and play a day while the girls go to the beach!” As a senior at Chandler High School, Braden has just started the 2019 golf season. He and five other students are practicing with their aim on qualifying as a team for regionals in late April and then on to state in May. Braden is also a member of cross country and basketball but favors golf as it is his most accomplished sport. He played under golf coach Jim Campbell in junior high and his freshman and sophomore years and now is under the instruction of Coach Patrick Mitchell. For any athlete there is a ‘wow moment’ where a goal is accomplish that seemed unattainable. For Braden that was in his sophomore year. He said he’d formed a bad habit of slicing the ball. With help from his dad, the pair headed to the range with a bucket of balls. He adjusted his grip and began getting the ball in the air and hitting it straight. His frustration was fine tuned that day and he’ll likely remember the lesson for a lifetime. “Golf teaches patience,” says Coach Patrick Mitchell. “When you hit a bad shot, you have to move on. Just like life when something happens, you have to move on to the next thing.” Braden plans to attend Oklahoma State University and study accounting. Golf will most assuredly be his hobby sport as he spends quality time with his brothers and dad. Josie Patterson participated on the Oklahoma Junior Golf Tour last fall at the Shawnee Country Club in Shawnee, OK. 6 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / APRIL 2019
JOSIE PATTERSON “Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut
diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life,” said the American essayist and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. In spare moments for Josie Patterson her mother, Darsi (Helm) Patterson, found contentment on the greens and took her young daughters with her to play golf. No stranger to the sport, Darsi’s family, including her father, introduced her to the skill and she was a member of the Chandler High School Golf Team in the early 1980s. She definitely passed the desire on to her girls. By age 12, Josie was golfing competitively in the Junior PGA tournaments. In her freshman year of high school, she and her sister, Jordan Patterson, competed on the same team. They qualified for state and secured third place. Jordan went on to play for Southern Nazarine University from 2015 through 2017. By Josie’s high school senior year, she shot in the 70’s every round! She qualified for state individually and was third overall. In addition, she got All-State. “It was a fun way to finish off the 2018 high school year!” says Josie. Today, she plays golf for Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee where she is studying health and human performance. She’s still in the first year of her college journey and already knows she wants to become a college golf coach. With the season underway, Josie will compete in seven tournaments this spring. While the competitive side is fun for her, Josie said she loves golf also because she’ll get to enjoy it past college leisurely with anyone as a hobby. “Golf has made me who I am; better overall,” says Josie. “It’s taught me patience. And, lead me to really good friendships, like my roommate. Golf is really hard on you mentally. You have to stay dedicated to have a patient, strong mind. I learned to put in all the work I could, and learned that it takes time to get results. Most importantly, I learned to move on from bad rounds.” While Josie found her niche in golf, first with exposure, desire, and then talent. She said she’d encourage younger students who try golf saying, “Stick with it! Keep working hard—it’s going to pay off in the end!” In the examples of these two individuals, both enjoy golf and have learned valuable life tools from playing. While one feels they will use it for enjoyment and the other a career, both found the path through their parents and honed their skill by virtue of school coaches and personal trainers. n
Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots—but you have to play the ball where it lies. ~ Bobby Jones

RIDE to
WIN
PHOTO by KB PHOTOGRAPHY
Jagger Baxtrom, left, is shown Team Roping with his dad, Ashley Baxtrom.
Numerous sports are conducted outside and are played on grass or dirt. An arena is used for a multitude of sporting events. Crowds of athletes still take the field whether rain or shine. Yet, how many sports involve riding a live animal? One. Just One. It’s rank, it’s fast, it’s dirty, and it’s comprised of businessmen, romantics and champions. It’s family. And the sport is named Rodeo. If any of you have attended a rodeo, you know it’s familiar sounds of bulls snortin’, the beating sound of horses’ feet, calves and steers bawlin’, all while loud music sets the tone for the adrenaline rush that is about to take place. As with any sport, there are contestants that enjoy the sport on the weekend, much like a hobby. Their involvement is strictly pleasure and relaxation to get away from their weekly occupation. On the other hand, there are those who choose a rodeo event and make a living while doing it, just as in the NBA or NFL. They have a soul made of part grit, part perseverance and part generosity. They are rodeo people that don’t quit. Ones like Cody Rodeo Tyler, who has been riding bulls since he was 11. And yes, that is his full name! He is surrounded by rodeo of all aspects as his older brother is a bull fighter and younger brother and father raise bulls in Carney. Cody told me about finding his dad’s old rodeo gear bag when he was 10 years old. He spent the next year “hounding” his dad until finally, Steven Tyler, said yes to bull riding, and Cody has been doing it ever 18 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / APRIL 2019
since. When I asked if bull riding ever scared him; Cody confidently answered, “Not any more, maybe at first. Now I am just nervous to see how the ride turns out. I am comfortable on the back of a bull”. We laughed as we talked about riding a spinning bull for 8 seconds. He says, “Eight seconds is a lot longer than most people think. It can feel like time stops!”. A humble 24 year old, Cody feels the best part of his experiences are the people he has met along the rodeo road. He said, “Nothing can match the people you meet when you are gone away from home.” His goals? Make the Professional Bull Riders Finals this year, complete 50% of his rides and stay positive. Cody’s advice to young bull riders? “Find someone that can help advance your talents and grow in the sport. Surround yourself with support”. Strong advice I would say. Another bull riding competitor, is Olive student Braydan Kilcrease, plans to follow the path Cody Tyler took and become professional as soon as his age allows. Braydan’s buckles and titles outnumber his young age of 15 by many times. Being born in a rough stock family, Braydan and his dad spend most of their weekends on the rodeo road. He started riding calves when he was 2 years old and now rides mini and full-size bulls. Braydan credits his dad and brother both for staying up late, helping me practice and working on the basics of rodeo. He rides a stationary barrel bull to practice even in the house. Obviously, determination to succeed is in
his plan. Braydan explains what drives him to stick with such an extreme sport at his young age. He said, “I love it, have a heart for it and I don’t quit”. Sounds like the making of a PBR finalist! Moving out of the rough stock sport of rodeo and into one of the timed events, introduces us to team roper, Jagger Baxstrom. Calling Drumright his home, this accomplished 14 year old, literally does “nothing but rope - everything”, he says. Also deeply influenced by his dad, Jagger started team roping at 10 years old. Jagger doesn’t miss a jackpot rodeo if he can help it. His achievements include tack, buckles, money and last year…. Jagger won a new Dodge truck! “Surprisingly”, Jagger says “roping did not come natural, and I have to work at it”. He feels blessed that good horses have been placed in his path. As I talked with Jagger, I was impressed with his thoughts of why he is successful. “My dad has taught me the value of losing. If you win all the time, winning would become boring”. Where does he see himself in 10 years I asked? He replied, “Roping somewhere and making a living at it”! The wild sport of rodeo does not forget to include
females in their schedule! These full blast riders turn and burn, as they say, around the cans three times in the cloverleaf pattern. Barrel racers ride their horses as if to be flying down the alley way entering the arena like lightning. It can be only 15 seconds barely spent in the saddle but, can be a profitable 15 seconds. Just like most sports, rodeo is not without the risk of injury to the rider and often times to the horses that are part of the team. Unfortunately, an injury can devastate these athletes financially while they take time off to heal. After being thrown by a bull and injuring his collarbone in early 2018, Cody Tyler explains, “It was rough coming back after that injury. You have to rebuild physical stamina to ride and it takes time”. What do all these rodeo athletes have in common? They love the sport of rodeo, and as Braydan put it, they “don’t quit” till they succeed. Don’t miss a chance along The Corridor to enjoy a rodeo and watch these athletes and the animals perform their sport. The environment maybe a dusty one, but it will always be a family oriented one that you won’t forget. n
What do all these rodeo athletes have in common? They love rodeo! It’s their sport! And as Braydan put it, “They don’t quit till they succeed.”

THE EARLY DAYS OF THE
Tabouleh Festival by SHIRLEY TODD
In 2003 a group of Bristow Main Street merchants got together to brainstorm ideas on how to bring more visitors to Bristow. Bristow merchant Rick Root said the group was thinking of what made Bristow unique from other communities. “The two tabouleh factories that were in town came up, Bishop Brothers Taboli and Slyman’s Lebanese Food, both produce the dry Lebanese salad mixes for tabouleh. We found out, at the time, Bristow had the only two tabouleh factories in the US.” he said. “This is how the Tabouleh Festival was born. It is a way to recognize Bristow’s Lebanese heritage.” Clifford Smith, another merchant said Root wanted name recognition.“When anyone heard the word ‘tabouleh’, it would be associated with Bristow and the festival in May,” he said. “Like kolaches are associated with Prague or peaches with Porter.” The first Tabouleh Festival was held on Bristow Main Street in 2004. Smith said he estimated about 5,000 people attended. He said there were vendors lined up along Main Street, Lebanese Belly Dancers entertaining the crowd, a carnival for the kids, stage performers and plenty of tabouleh. Smith said Root came up with the idea to have Bristow Idol a spinoff of American Idol. “We had a DJ setup with a karaoke machine and anyone was able to pick a song and sing until the contest began,” said Smith.
22 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / APRIL 2019
“There was a fee of $5 to be entered into Bristow Idol and cash prizes were handed out to the top three spots.” He said Nancy Spencer had the idea of holding a talent contest for Miss Tabouleh Fest. Smith said Spencer also took care of all of the vendors. “She would begin calling the vendors early each year,” he said. “She wanted to make sure each vendor had paid so we had plenty set up during the festival.” Smith said Tex Slyman helped them prepare the tabouleh to sell and for tasting. “He provided enough mix for us to make up batches of tabouleh,” he said. “He also had us make the tabouleh the night before the festival and store it on ice in gallon bags. We were so grateful to him and his donation.” Smith said each year the merchants added something new to keep the festival fresh and growing. He said they have had camels and added to the carnival. Michelle Morquecho remembers the tabouleh recipe contest. “With the help of my husband, I won first place in the non-professional category with my tabouleh stuffed tomato recipe,” she said. “This contest ended after a few years, due to lack of interest, but it was a lot of fun.” Root said one of the ideas for a festival brought up during their initial meeting was the train depot and to host a model train festival in the plaza. “It was a great idea, but we went with tabouleh because not everyone is familiar with it,” he said. “We thought that would draw people to the festival and it did.” Root said the city’s Lebanese heritage began in the early 1900s, before statehood. Lebanese peddler Joe Abraham settled in Bristow and set up a variety of businesses. As the businesses became successful, Abraham invited his Lebanese family to join him in Oklahoma. “He was responsible for a lot of the Main Street businesses and many of those families he invited to come to Bristow have also been successful in business here,” he said. “The Lebanese had such a major influence on the area. They were industrious, very entrepreneurial, especially in food businesses and restaurants.” Today only Bishop Brothers Taboli is still a producer of the salad mix. “Tabouleh is the one dish every Lebanese family would serve,” said Root.

Delilah’s DILEMMAS
It was late Friday evening. Joel had gone to bed, leaving Delilah and Eli quarreling in the living room about Delilah’s propensity to attract weirdo into her life. Weirdos that ultimately threaten her well-being. Delilah had started up the stairs in stony silence after concluding that she had no defense for Eli’s argument, when there was a loud thunk at the front door. Eli hot footed it to the entry hall while instructing Delilah to stand back. “That’s peculiar,” Eli said as he surveyed the vacant porch. “Nothing here.” “Well, what was that sound then?” Delilah asked with concern. “No idea,” Eli replied. The following morning, Eli and Gus checked the foundation of the entire house, but found no damage or discrepancies. And life went on, remarkably, without incidents. That is to say, there was a reprieve for a few months. Try as they may, Eli and Dooby could not uncover the mystery of Abigail’s whereabouts over the next couple weeks. So, they concentrated on completing the stable. By the end of January, it was done. All efforts were then focused on moving everything from the barn into the stable, except for the hay. Dooby had built knotty pine storage units along parallel walls in the tack room, which rivaled the most exquisite closets. Each unit had four niches about three feet wide and thirty inches deep that went from the ceiling to the floor. Three of the niches had two drawers at the bottom, and a saddle rack above the drawers that was extended from the rear of the niche in a way that made the saddle look as though it was suspended in mid- air. Dooby had placed hooks in the sides of the niches for bridles, halters, and reins. The fourth niche had four drawers on the bottom. In the middle of that niche, level with the saddles, were five wooden dowel rods that went from side to side and were placed three inches apart both vertically and horizontally. Saddle blankets were draped over the dowel rods. Joel took charge of organizing the tack room: disposing of equipment that was worn out or out36 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / APRIL 2019

DIANE BROWN
dated, and making lists of what needed replacing. Tack was not the only thing being purged. Once more, Delilah went through the items she brought from Georgia, and stored in the barn, along with objects of Aunt Nettie’s that were cleared out of the house when Delilah moved to Oklahoma. As if the barn project weren’t enough to keep everyone busy, Delilah had decided she wanted to try her hand, or in this case, green thumb, at a vegetable garden. So, Gus was given the arduous task of tilling the forty-foot by forty-foot space, and then preparing the soil. There was much “discussion” about the plan. Dooby insisted that her ambition should have been on a much smaller scale. Eli maintained that no matter what size the garden was, it was certain that Pandora, the old, cantankerous, gray goat would make the garden her banquet. “We’ll put a fence around it,” Delilah contended during one particularly heated exchange. Eli looked at her incredulously, while Gus spewed a mouth full of Dr. Pepper all over himself and the kitchen floor. “Tell me you’re kidding,” Eli had said. “That crazy old goat gets in the house when the door’s locked. Unless you build a six-foot, wooden privacy fence around it, she’s gonna get in.” “You really think a wooden fenth would keep her out?” Gus asked with a chuckle. “No,” Eli replied. And then the two spent thirty minutes regaling Delilah with Pandora anecdotes. By mid-February, the barn and stable were in order, and Delilah was planting seeds. Marietta was huge and miserable. Delilah
had no idea how the petite woman would make it another eight weeks. The day before a totally unspectacular Valentine’s Day, Delilah and Gus escorted Marietta to her doctor’s appointment in Tulsa. Because she had gained only sixteen pounds, and her blood pressure and blood sugars were excellent, the physician seemed totally unfazed by her size. “She’s simply all babies,” he told Delilah, when Delilah expressed trepidation. “I do want you to take it easy, though. Get as much rest as you can, and I want to start seeing you every two weeks now.” From the doctor’s office, Gus, Delilah, and Marietta went to the hospital where the babies would be delivered, and made the first installment on the hospital bill. From there, the three went shopping for baby things. In regards to the following day; some people remember important dates some people do not. Eli was forgiven. Eventually. Nearly five weeks had passed. In that time Joel became more and more obsessed with Mae’s Thunder. Making sure that she was clean and her tail was wrapped. Making certain that her stall had clean straw. He inventoried every day to ensure that all the things they would need when the mare went into labor with her own twins would be readily available. It was Friday when Dooby received information about the Abigail situation. He made arrangements to meet with his informant in Oklahoma City that afternoon. Eli was also invited, and around 2:00, the two men departed the ranch in Dooby’s pickup.
Delilah had chosen that day to begin painting the bathroom on the second floor. She had cleared everything from the room. She removed the nails from the walls, and then filled the holes with spackle. She had cleaned and lightly sanded all the surfaces that would be painted. Before she knew it, it was late afternoon. Gus rushed in the back door manically shouting Delilah’s name. “What?” Delilah called back as she hurried down the stairs. “Marietta’th in labor,” the toothless ranch hand said excitedly. Gus and Delilah came to a screeching halt, face to face in the hall. Delilah’s mind went blank, and her eyes went wide. She thought she was prepared for this moment. She had gone over it a dozen or more times in her head. She and Gus had discussed it at length, along with everyone else on the ranch. They had a plan. What was the plan? “Delilah?” Gus said. “Right.” Delilah said, finally collecting her thoughts. “Where is she?” “In the truck,” Gus said blankly. “How far apart are the contractions?” Delilah asked. “I don’t know,” Gus said. “Her water broke about fifteen minuteth ago.” “Right, okay,” Delilah said. “You head to the hospital. I’ll be right behind you. I’ve got to call the doctor, and Karon. Oh, and I need to let Eli and Dooby know. And Joel. Where is he? Like I have to ask.” “Down at the thtable,” Gus said, confirming Delilah’s suspicion.
258-5002 121 W. 10th • Chandler • IAFR.com/Thompsons THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / APRIL 2019 37
Delilah made her calls, and secured the house. Now, Delilah had been in the house all day, and so fixated on her project, that she scarcely noticed the constant hum of the air conditioner. Consequently, she was shocked when she opened the back door, and was blasted by hot air, thick with m oisture. She couldn’t help but notice that the horizon to the west had turned a dark, inky blue. “That can’t be good,” she murmured to herself. She went back in the house, placed her purse on the kitchen table, and went to the living room where she remoted the television to life. Severe thunderstorm warnings flashed on the screen. The map showed the line of storms from Lawton to Enid, just west of Oklahoma City, and headed her way. She unplugged all the electronics downstairs, and then she scampered upstairs and did the same with the television in her bedroom. When she returned to the first floor, she found Joel standing in the kitchen, an odd expression on his face. “Oh, good,” Delilah said. “I was on my way to the stable to tell you that Marietta’s in labor, and we’re going to the hospital. Gus and Marietta are already headed that way. You want to come with me?” Joel’s eyes were wide. He shook his head ever so slightly. “Joel?” Delilah said. “Is something wrong?” Joel shook his head again “Mae’s Thunder is foaling.” Delilah’s chest sank to her feet. She took a deep breath in
38 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / APRIL 2019
an effort to overcome the rush of anxiety sweeping her. Not now. Why now? “No,” Delilah said, shaking her head. “No, no, no, no, no. Are you sure?” “Quite certain,” Joel whispered. By the time Delilah made it to the barn, it was clear the mare’s labor had begun. Delilah had done her research, and she felt relatively confident. And of course, Joel apparently knew what to expect. Though Delilah hoped it wouldn’t be a case like Prissy in Gone With the Wind, and when it came down to it, he would ‘know nothin’ ‘bout birthin’ horses.’ There was one thing that Delilah had not considered. Something that was moving toward them at thirty miles an hour, and would not pause for Mae’s Thunder to give birth. Within 30 minutes, Delilah and Joel could hear the thunder. With the first lightning strike and gust of cool air, Mae’s Thunder’s water broke. “Here we go,” Joel said. The wind increased; in small increments initially. But it quickly grew stronger, as did the mare’s agitation. “Joel,” Delilah said. “If she doesn’t deliver in the next fifteen minutes,” Joel cut her off, “Don’t worry,” Joel said. “She looks good. It’s going to be alright.” “I left my cell phone in the house,” Delilah continued. “If we have to call the Vet,”
“Delilah!” Joel exclaimed, his hand on Mae’s nose. “Calm down. She can sense your unease.” The lightning. The thunder. The rain and wind. And then came the hail, as did the first twin. Delilah was in awe. Her eyes filled with tears as she wiped the foal clean with towels. “It’s beautiful,” Delilah cried. The wind and thunder increased and they could hear debris striking the exterior of the stable and barn. Mae’s Thunder whinnied and brayed. “I think there may be something wrong,” Joel said. And then they heard it. The unmistakable low roar. “The second one should have come by now,” Joel said. He was cool as a cucumber. He exchanged a look with Delilah. A look that said, no matter what, they stayed with horses. The roar got louder and stronger. A two-by-four pierced the roof of the stable, and landed five feet from the stall. “I’m going to have to go in,” Joel said. “What! No!” Delilah exclaimed. “Everything I’ve read, says that that is very dangerous. Their contractions can be so strong
that it can break your arm!” The branch of tree flew in the side of the stable, and they could hear what sounded like the roof coming off of the barn. Debris was blowing everywhere. Sheets of the metal roof on the stable began to peel back, and a metal object about the size of a bowling ball, hit Joel on the back of the head. He fell to the floor, where he lay motionless. n
Is Joel another Delilah victim? Did he give his life for the foal? Will the horses be unharmed? You’ll only have the answers to these questions when you read the next installment of Delilah’s Dilemmas in the May issue of the Corridor Magazine.

April Showers Bring... by MICHELLE BROWN
A P R I L
Arbor Day. A celebration of trees! Observed each year on the last Friday in April, Arbor Day is a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant and care for trees. Established on April 10, 1872, journalist and newspaper editor J. Sterling Morton challenged the people of Nebraska to plant as many trees as they possibly could. They surpassed his challenge by planting more than 1 million trees that first Arbor Day, now a national holiday! So this April 26, 2019, let’s make The Corridor more beautiful, by planting a tree! Ping Pong. Yes, ping pong is a real sport! Also known as table tennis, this sport originated in Victorian England around 1880, where it was played among the upper-class as an after dinner parlor game. The game was introduced as an Olympic sport at the 1988 Olympics. Those who play ping pong are very serious and focused and must learn quite an extensive list of rules. This is a fast game demanding quick reactions. Ping pong is proof that competitive sports come in all shapes and sizes!
RISEN!! Yes, He is Risen! Easter will be celebrated April 21, this year. Jesus’ resurrection symbolizes the eternal life that is granted to all who believe in Him. Spend Easter Sunday with your family at a church along The Corridor and celebrate our risen Savior!
Iponmea are gorgeous flowers more commonly called Morning Glories. This lovely vining plant will rapidly cover a wall or climb a trellis. These beauties are early risers, opening at dawn and closing their petals by afternoon. April is known for “showers that bring May flowers”. While cruising The Corridor, take note of all the flowers and greenery beginning to bloom and appreciate their beauty!
Lookout Corridor! As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer baseballs will be airborne, soccer balls will be rolling, frisbees flying, and bicyclists rolling! You’ll very soon see skateboarders, horseback riders and folks participating in all kinds of outdoor sporting activities! Be prepared to give these sports enthusiasts plenty of room for safety. Let’s head outside and enjoy the beautiful sunshine.

Corridor
by RICK REILEY
THREE CUSHING AMIGOS
On the trail to the 8th Annual Red Dirt Gypsy Cafe
Three guys from Cushing will be joining the 8th Annual Red Dirt Gypsy Cafe lineup this year in Stillwater on May 1st. One of them is a dear friend of mine, Gene Collier, one of them is me, and the other is a more recent acquaintance of ours, Giakob Beasley, who I’ve written about quite recently. Among the headliners will be the Red Dirt Rangers, Mike McClure, Mike Hosty, Stoney Larue, as well as Okemah native, John Fullbright and a host of others. Perkins native, Monica Taylor is a perennial favorite and Stillwater artists, Richele Sigrist, RIgby Summer, Tequila Kim Reynolds, Thomas Trapp, Morgan Reynolds, Chad Sullins, Bo Phillips, and many other locals included as well. Chances are If you’re from this part of Oklahoma and you’ve been to a bar, a church, a restaurant, big box store, gas station, tire shop, oilfield supply store, convenience store or bait shop you’ve run into at least a handful of this year’s Red Dirt Gypsy Cafe performers. And I don’t really think I’m exaggerating. There’s truck load of talent around here! The Red Dirt Gypsy Cafe is an annual fundraiser for the Red Dirt Relief Fund, a 501 (C) 3 non profit organization set up to assist Oklahoma musicians in time of critical need. To date it has distributed more than $100,000 of such assistance. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, May 1st in Stillwater, from 4:30 to 11:45 pm. It will be held at three venues, George’s Stables, Stonehorse, and Eskimo Joe’s. For more information visit this website: http://www.reddirtrelieffund.org/gypsycafe Here’s a bit of background on Gene Collier, whom I’ve known for over 50 years : 44 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / APRIL 2019
Gene goes all the way back to the ‘Farm’ in Stillwater, what some call the birthplace of Red Dirt music. Bob Childers, considered the Godfather of Red Dirt, held court at the Farm for years encouraging all the musicians who came that way. Red Dirt Music took root in the soil there and blossomed into record crops (pun intended). Gene’s influence is perhaps most notable in penning the song ‘Boys from Oklahoma’ popularized by Cody Canada and Cross Canadian Ragweed many years ago. It’s become a college bar standard for at least a generation now and is performed by numerous bands. It was also in the soundtrack of the movie ‘Leaves of Grass’ a few years ago. Gene started his career in music as a rock and roller during high school in Drumright but after hearing the folky bluegrass guitar picking of music of legendary Doc Watson, he bought an acoustic guitar and veered off into bluegrass land. He is the only one I know who’s attended the WInfield Bluegrass festival in Winfield, Kansas every year, for over 40 years. Through that he has met hundreds, if not thousands, of others sharing their music. The first band Gene played in, in Drumright during his high school years, was known as the Lords Revised with his brother Randy and Don Mitchell. (He tells me that he and I played in a band together once, and I believe him. It seems like I remember it…).
Gene was born in Nowata and raised near the town of Royalty in west Texas right next to a rattlesnake den on the desert. He tells me the only toys they had were a turtle shell, three cockleburrs and a tumbleweed. (Well, I think that’s how he tells it). So he and brothers learned early the value of entertaining themselves. A little later their dad’s electric guitar served as a powerful infuence as well. Gene spent 37 years working for the Santa Fe Railroad, never missing a day’s work, before he packed it in. On nights and weekends he played music. Gene has won three first place prizes in songwriting contests at Winfield, a couple of second places and one in the top ten. Gene plays guitar, mandolin, harmonica, penny whistle and does a bit of clog dancing when the occasion calls for it. His music and spirit are a delight to the senses. As for me, Rick Reiley, about 50 years ago I began my work in music as a lead singer. At that time I sang with fellow Cushingites, Mike Archer, Mike Holloway, Chuck Morehead (who managed the local Sears store) in a group we called ‘The Handsome Rabbit Band’. We couldn’t think of a serious name so we stuck with something silly. We did popular, simple covers by Steppenwolf, Creedence Clearwater and some blues standards. We played at a few fraternity events in Stillwater as well as Spav’s, north of town and the Family Dog Bar somewhere north of the OSU football stadium. Later when I started writing and playing guitar I was part of a three man group with Mac Bolerjack and Steve Ackley. We called ourselves the Bread and Water Band and played on the Strip in Stillwater at places like Bill’s Italian, The Bar Ditch, Willie’s, Wild Willie’s (or Wet Willie’s, I can’t remember clearly)! Our last gig was at a club called the ‘West Coast Bodega’ in San Luis Obispo, California. We went to take Los Angeles by storm but we ran out of gas and somehow, eventually, made it back home). After spending decades not concentrating so much on music, I delved back into it about 20 years ago which eventually resulted in a couple hundred songs, two CD’s and performances from here to Kansas, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming and even Drumright! Then a few years ago Gene Collier and I haphazardly began our Tuesday Night Music Club in Cushing, now in its 10th year. A little later we began playing with Olive area resident, John Williams, and Bristow native, Craig
Skinner,as the Dust Bowl Brothers. That’s my story. Which brings us to Giakob Lee.
Giakob Lee began singing in choir in middle school while in Guymon. At 15 he began playing guitar and soon played with others in high school and a youth group at church. He led the group for a couple of years and continued playing while in college at Southern Nazarene University. There he continued to write and perform and had opportunities to perform at the Gospel Music Association seminar in Colorado where he became acquainted with some touring professionals who offered their support and advice. For several years his focus was on Christian music solely. While he says his own songs have been a personal outlet for him he recently felt drawn to begin performing publicly and he has been quite well received. He’s been performing with regularity at JJ’s Alley in OKC’s Bricktown, as well as VZD’s in OKC. He plays songwriter showcases, song swaps and appears frequently at the Colony in Tulsa, Zanotti’s in Stillwater and many other locations far and wide. This will be his first n makappearance at the Gypsy Cafe and he will also be ing his initial appearance in April at the much vaunted Norman Music Festival with his first album set to be released later this year. Music has been good to me in helping keep me grounded and sane. I feel very fortunate to be included in this Oklahoma Red Dirt brother and sisterhood. If you like music come make an afternoon/evening and check it out. It will be a chance to hear 60 or more Oklahoma songwriters sharing their love of the place, the music, and the red dirt spirit. For more information check out this website: www.reddiftrelief.org/gypsycafe Or the Facebook page for Bob Childers’ Gypsy Cafe 2019. Tickets may also be purchased at Eskimo Joe’s Clothes in Stillwater.

{ BACKPACKING...TRY IT! {
Although I’ve competed in a variety of competitive athletics my entire life, there is no sport I have enjoyed more than hiking and back packing. The week before my life partner Connee and I were married in September 1982, my friend Larry Snow introduced me to the world of wilderness backpacking. Larry coached me on some of the equipment I would need to carry with me into the wilderness. The ground is quite cold in the mountains, so I needed a dense foam pad to insulate me from the wet and cold ground. I didn’t need a tent because we would use Larry’s A-frame tent pack tent. Larry schooled me on hiking boots. In the early 80’s many hikers wore stout leather hiking boots with a thick waffle soul, my first pair of boots, however, were less heavy with a Gortex top – pretty water resistant. In addition to a good poncho, Larry helped me find a great synthetic-filled winter sleeping bag which was rated to keep me warm all the way to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Larry counseled me to bring layers of clothing and a warm hat and gloves for our nights on the trail. He also helped me know what sort of backpack to purchase. I didn’t listen very well. In an effort to save money I selected a cheap external frame pack I found in Kmart. This would be my first mistake! We drove from the Texas panhandle on a Monday morning in the middle of September to the Pecos Wilderness in northern New Mexico - perhaps a 6 – 7 hour drive. We arrived at the Irongate Campground (9800 feet above sea level) in the late afternoon. Here, I made my second mistake. Although it is highly recommended that flatlanders like us should allow our bodies to acclimate to the high altitude for several nights before launching into a hike, we were eager to get on the trail. “We can make several miles before the sun goes down,” Larry suggested. He didn’t know how new I was to wilderness hiking. “I’m game!” I replied. Larry showed me how to pack my cheapo backpack with food and equipment. After we’d put on our liner socks and wool socks, we donned our hiking boots. “Those Gortex boots are nice,” Larry said as he easily swung his back pack onto his shoulders. I tried to copy Larry’s technique, but my pack wasn’t balanced like his. I launched it into the air nearly breaking my back. The pack slid down and left a big scratch along my side. My second try was more successful, but I immediately felt the weight of the pack. Ouch! The flimsy 48 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / APRIL 2019
shoulder straps on my bargain pack immediately began biting into my shoulders. Larry told me to synch the waist belt tightly around my hips, but my thin waist belt didn’t quite reach my hips. I pulled the strap high around my waist. Not a great fit. Before we’d traveled the first half mile up the trail, I was sucking air. The pack was causing my shoulders and neck to ache. The waist belt was synched so tightly that I could hardly breathe. I’d been playing softball, basketball and tennis numerous times each week. I had led nature hikes at church camp, but I had never hiked at 10,000 feet! Larry, who was more bookworm than athlete, was blowing my socks off! “What the *#%+*#?” I was thinking! Larry had to stop and wait for me to catch up with him. My feet were nothing but clumsy on the trail. I managed to trip on every root and rock in the path. Larry was going on pointing out various sights long the way, but I saw very little because my eyes were glued to the 18 inches of the trail in front of my toes! Larry tried to be encouraging. “You’ll get this, Paul,” he said, “Your body will start acclimating in just a bit.” We only made two agonizing miles into the wilderness that afternoon. We set up camp just below the trail in a grove of aspen trees and Larry fixed a delicious freeze-dried lasagna dinner. By the light of our flash lights, we rebuilt my pack so it fit better and transferred the weight of my pack onto my hips. We also duct-taped a towel around my wait belt and underwear on my shoulder straps to make them a little more comfortable. The next day’s hiking was better. Hiking 8 miles, we camped at the Pecos falls where I sat in the autumn sun and soaked my aching feet in the cold to water of the falls. The best part was that I began to see the mountains, and to savor the exhilaration of the hike. I began sensing the presence of the mighty Spirit in the aspens as the wind blew through their leaves. And Larry no longer had to wait on me to catch up with him. My eyes hungered to see everything! Although I was exhausted by the effort of hiking the mountain trail, my energy level was renewed by the beauty and gift of the hike. So began a great love for what has become my favorite sport. 37 years later I’ve hiked hundreds of miles over wilderness trails, and I’ve invited dozens of others to enjoy hiking through God’s beautiful creation. n
KIMMEL GOLF COLLECTION by JOE GOOCH
Mike is pictured holding a 1910 press for wood shafts. Leather straps hold the shafts securely in the press to insure that the shaft is straight. Also pictured to the right of the press is a 1928 program for the Walker Cup Match held each year by the Chicago Golf Club. The match consisted of mostly amateurs since there were very few pros in 1928. That was the only program in existence in 1928.
There are thousands of wonderful art and antique memorabilia collections in the world of nearly anything made. In this writer’s opinion, one of the best and most unique collections is right here on The Corridor. Lifetime Cushing resident, Mike Kimmel, has assembled nearly every old and unusual golf club, golf ball, and golf paraphernalia ever made dating back to the mid 1800s. Even non-golfers have stated, “You don’t have to be a golfer to appreciate it.” There are many golf collections with higher volumes of items, however, there are few distinct collections such as Mike’s. Mike is a member of the Golf Collectors Society. Mike is a 1969 Cushing grad with a degree from OSU in Turf Management. He has held both manager and superintendent positions at the Elks Club in Shawnee and the Drumright Golf Club. Mike also built the Fire Lake
course in Shawnee. While at the Elks Club in 1988, a lady gave Mike a very old antique sand wedge. Mike said to himself, “This is really cool.” His collecting began from there. Some of Mike’s favorite collectibles are his hickory shaft clubs which hit very unpredictably. They were more susceptible to hooking or slicing the, ball. Their distance only averaged 220 yards, while today’s comparable club would average 300 yards. One of his oldest items is an all wood putter from approximately 1870. One of his most unique is a practice club used for chopping weeds because at one time swinging a golf club or cutting weeds was the same swing technique. Some of his rarest items are the Walter Hagan collections from the 1920s. Early manufacturers of golf equipment were Spalding. Burke and McGregor. Some of today’s drivers are touted for long drives due to the spring in the club face, when actually Spalding was using the same techniques in 1897. Mike has Ben Hogan Timex watches. He has the official white ball paint which was used to paint your golf balls after a golf outing, preparing the ball for the next day at the golf course! He has a single club that will adjust to any loft, along with two-sided putters. Unusual things in his collection are practice balls with attached parachutes. The ball drifts to the ground for a shorter retrieving distance.
Shown is a variety of different tees. Inside the black circle are tee molds. Before the invention of wooden tees a golfer would use a pinch of sand formed in the mold to set their ball on. Metal sand boxes were placed on each tee box for the golfers.

Unusual, favorite, unique, old, antique, and rare are just a few words to describe this collection. My best summary of my evening with Mike was amazing… the collection is just amazing! Mike tells me one of his favorite vacations was a trip to the old course at St. Andrews in Scotland where the family took photos standing on the course’s Swilcan Bridge, estimated to be 700-800 years old.
It is one of the most famous golf course landmarks in the world. St. Andrews is truly the first tee with the first recorded evidence of golf at St. Andrews around 1400 AD. This is one story in which a photo is worth a thousand words, so take your time and enjoy looking at the remarkable collection. And a personal thank you to Mike for sharing it with us! n
Shown in this photo is a portion of over 400 antique putters.
These three ball training putters are the original design of Dave Pelz, a famous instructor. The one on the left was illegal to use due to the width of the putter. This design is now the two-ball putter which thousands of golfers carry in their bags.
Pictured is a 1920 Silver King golf ball sign. Only two of these signs were ever made. Look closely at the square dimples on the 1920 ball.
This is a golf club shaft and grip made to cut weeds. The cutting of weeds technique was used for practice.
50 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE / APRIL 2019
This is Mike’s favorite and most unusual club called the Waterfall Iron. Only one of these irons with deep grooves running in different directions has ever appeared in a catalog. This club was outlawed in 1924.
MIKE
Two times Mike has attended the Masters in Augusta and started a collection of their dated flags. He has all but three of the collectibles. The flags that are actually used on each green are burned after the tournament.
KIM MEL
GOLF COLLECTION A box of wooden shaft putters made before 1924
This is a collection of antique ping balls consisting of their eight main colors made in the 1900s. In 1850 only four balls were manufactured in a day, consisting of duck feathers stuffed on the inside. In 1885 the hand hammered Guttie ball was released with straight lines. After these, golf balls had pimples and later changed to dimples that we know today.
This is one of the first sand wedges ever made, also known as the ice cream scoop.
A golf ball Slot Machine also known as a Trade Stimulator was kept in several pro shops. After depositing your quarter and pulling the lever, the number of golf balls you received was based on what you hit. Three sevens perhaps give you fifteen balls. A jackpot would spit out eighteen balls.
