From the EDITOR Each monthly issue of The Corridor Magazine is worldwide on issuu.com, and each month offers a different theme. However, other than readership and themes, it’s about releasing a bit of my life to readers around the world. The November issue is about giving thanks and harvesting your hunt. It makes me feel so good every day that someone shares with me about how much they enjoy reading our magazine. Even while fighting Acoustic Schwannoma, I love my job! I barely finished the October issue before facing health problems for the rest of that week, even spending two nights in Tulsa’s Hillcrest Hospital. An Acoustic Schwannoma is a benign tumor composed of Schwann cells that has appeared in my right hearing canal. That all sounds very technical, but if it wishes, it can put me on my back for several days. Speaking as a layman, it’s a non-cancerous tumor wrapped around a cranial nerve for hearing and balance. Have you ever heard me say, “Huh?” several times? If so, it’s because I only have 35% hearing in my right ear. I’m working on getting rid of this parasite soon, and will be very happy to be the publisher that continues to bring you each month’s issue of The Corridor Magazine.

by JOE GOOCH

My late wife, Judy, and friend, Robin Dunaway, started “The Course of Your Life” Bridal Fair at the Cushing Country Club in 2012. At that time, the facility had several small rooms, which did not really make it conducive spacewise to a great Bridal Fair event. But...WE ARE BACK! I can’t wait to see you at what is now the Buffalo Rock Golf and Gun (formerly Cushing Country Club), located on 9th Street in Cushing. Yes! Crystl Percell, and I, along with the staff at Buffalo Rock, will again bring you The Course of Your Life Bridal Fair! The remodeled facility is not only used for weddings, but is ideal and convenient for a bridal fair and fashion show on The Corridor. You will be amazed at the enormous space and beautiful views now offered! Seriously, it’s breath taking! Check out pages 46 through 49 and be excited for this show that’s coming on February 23, 2019, and I’ll see you there! Who knows... I may convince Country Chuck or City Chuck to model tuxedos.

“I truly believe God gave us this platform to use for Him everywhere we go and that’s the purpose for Buck Ventures.” ~ Jeff Danker

by ROBBIE McCOMMAS

BUCK VENTURES

Hard work and faith in God were the first words expressed during an interview with Jeff. He explained that his dad taught him to ‘work as hard as he could and surround himself with the right people’. Meanwhile, Jeff also heeded scriptures. That meant turning his decisions and successes over to God. Their 15th year on television and viewed in 30 million homes, Buck Ventures has acquired number one Nielsen ratings for a 30 minute show on the Sportsman Channel. What began as a hunting genre airing locally in Oklahoma in 2003, went national by 2005. The program airs all over the United States and Canada. With shows four times a week, hunting enthusiasts can tune in to a variety of hunts, locations, seasons, and various game. You can experience phenomenal footage from all over the Midwest and Canada, and be in the moment with outfitters and hunters as the trip unfolds in breathtaking scenery. NOTE: Buck Ventures promotes ‘All fair chase hunting’. From the onset in 2003, Jeff’s vision was drawn from II Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight. Hence the motto, “Shoot by Sight, Walk by Faith”. You’ll hear Jeff talk about Christianity on the air, because that’s just who he is. He shares his faith in a dozen churches across the country using BV as a platform to serve God. BV’s Facebook page shares videos and pictures of weekly hunts and events and is dotted with verses to be seen by 311,344 followers! The business takes Jeff and his co-host Daniel McVay on the road a considerable amount of the time. Jeff’s wife, Tracie, home schools their daughters Jaylee, age 15, and 6 THE CORRIDOR / NOVEMBER 2018

Gracie, age 12. The close knit family creates time together and enjoys special moments. “Jaylee has a passion for hunting, she has taken to it as a duck to water!” Jeff declared. “One episode she aired in hunting with a crossbow caused the ratings to go off the charts. She loves it all, it doesn’t matter what we’re doing.

She’s also a co-host with me on the show,” he added. Jaylee plans and schedules trips with her dad. She keeps her school work priority and gets permission from mom. With that all clear, she is set with hunting gear, a bow or gun, and her own camera staff! “My camera girl is really sweet and fun to talk to,” Jaylee stated while on sight at a recent Texas hunt. “I love seeing God’s creation, it’s so pretty out here.” Jaylee feels at home within Buck Ventures, she appreciates the outfitters, practices shooting at camp, is eager for the morning and evening hunts and enjoys time with her dad. She said she prefers a deer stand over a blind because she likes to ‘see everything’. “All my hard work has been paying off,” Jaylee explained. “I have to be quiet, keep still and stay focused. And, her recent trip did not return void. She killed a nice buck that scored about 130. The hunt will be part of next season’s episodes. “What is your favorite thing about hunting?” she was asked. “That’s a tough question,” she answered. “Every aspect is exciting. It’s a fun time with the people, the outdoors and seeing big deer! I really like water fowl, turkey and deer hunting.” What is your vision for the future? “It’s wide open to what God wants. I’d love to continue to hunt with dad. I like the trips; it’s really nice to spend time with him. And, I enjoy hunting a lot!” Jaylee’s other interests including playing the violin, volleyball, ultimate frisbee and family church camp. Little sister Gracie has also spent time in the hunting scene. “I was eight when I started hunting,” Gracie began. “My first kill was a doe, then a jake turkey, and then a buck mule deer, last year. Dad would film me, it was fun and I

was excited, but, it really wasn’t my passion. I don’t like to sit for hours and be quiet! Although, I do enjoy the camaraderie of the camps with family and the outfitters. I really liked that part of it!” “I enjoy being dad’s secretary at trade shows,” Gracie added with excitement. “I help him work the booth. I also enjoy cooking and baking. I have learned to cook a lot of his game. Our favorite is to ‘chicken fry’ the deer steaks.” Gracie aspires to be a writer one day. She shared a recent children’s book that she, her sister and mother have written including their farm animals with biblical teachings. She said it’s a Christian series and she hopes it reaches people with the Gospel. Jeff’s office is located at the heart of The Corridor, in Chandler. Equipped with a studio, full blown productions are shot there. With dozens of sponsors, Jeff said he makes 12 appearances a year for Academy Sports + Outdoors. There really isn’t an off-season for BV. Jeff said after deer season and water fowl, they begin predator hunting for coyotes and bob cats. And, in April they film bow fishing in the Ohio River. In addition, they take care of food plots and deer stands. Looking back, during the transition from local to national television in 2005, Jeff said, “We turned it over to God.” At that time they had a few sponsors, and were working the business through trial and error. Today, the business is making them a living with seven people on staff and 75 prostaff members who hunt and help promote BV. A scripture from Buck Ventures recent FaceBook post reads, “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.” Ecclesiastes 12:13. n

& CLOTH

PHOTOS by KB PHOTOGRAPHY

The unique qualities of Woodlands & Cloth make it a wonderful shopping adventure for women, but equally so for the men! If you have driven down the main drag of Perkins, OK, you know this energetic little town recently received a face lift. Along with widening Main Street, Perkins is sportin’ new, brighter and whiter sidewalks and newly painted hand railings that line part of the business area. During the town’s renovation, a charming new storefront emerged. Its name, Woodlands & Cloth, is as interesting as its goods. At first glance, you may think it is quite small. But don’t let its size fool you! The unique qualities of Woodlands & Cloth make it a wonderful shopping adventure for women but equally so for the men! Owner, Bonnie Cox, along with her son, Quinten, and his wife Lori Cox, and her daughter, Billie Jo Townsend, have accomplished the difficult task of merging masculinity with femininity for their customers. Bonnie bought the 1950s old house just this year in early April and got busy remodelling. The store’s color scheme is focused around the bold picture of a heifer that proudly hangs on a center wall. Quinten added his talent to the home giving it comfortable charm and beauti10 THE CORRIDOR / NOVEMBER 2018

ful woodwork. And within this inviting establishment are several different ventures as Bonnie and her family are quite the entrepreneurs. Bonnie told me they first opened the outside of Woodlands & Cloth starting with the landscaping business, Landscape Gardens and More. She has quite a talent for turning a yard into an eye appealing greenery backdrop. Bonnie described how customers bring outdoor ideas to her, and she ultimately brings those ideas to life. But landscaping is just one of the many goods Woodlands & Cloth has to offer. Upon arrival, immediately noticeable are the deer blinds. Both front and back lawn areas of the storefront have a handsome display of deer blinds from which to choose, along with hunting accessories. The scent outside the store is of deer feed and attractant. The brand – Double Down Deer Feed. As I spoke with Quinten, his knowledge regarding not only hunting, but how to produce quality meat and antlers was extensive. Quinten is passionate about caring for the animals, the environment and using what God gave to help us as a human race.

He said, “God gave us dominion over these animals, the deer, and we have a duty to educate ourselves and care for them as God intended. It is important to create a healthy deer herd.” Quinten believes in his product, and is Oklahoma’s only dealer/distributor of Double Down Deer Feed. Obviously, Quinten’s understanding goes well beyond hunting as a sport. He also understands about a balance for nature. As I entered the store, I was quickly whisked to a farmhouse sink as Billie Jo introduced my hands to the incredible sugar scrubs she makes. Billie Jo is as knowledgeable about her skin care scrubs and lotions as her brother is about deer. Her products, known as Woodlands Cottage, are not only healthy for your skin but will leave your skin feeling like cotton, as one of the ingredients is grape seed oil. My attention soon turned to the handmade soap. The thick, chunky bars were still warm since they were a new batch. The soaps, lotions and lip balms are all natural. They create a calm, relaxing feeling, not to mention being just downright pretty. And did I mention the apparel part of the store? You will find some of the cutest skirts, fashionable Hi Lo’s and sassy T’s, along with casual yet dressy dresses at Woodlands & Cloth. Lori Cox started her clothing business, LeeMaries Apparel, to have conservative yet hip dresses. Now, with the help of her daughters Kaylynn and Anna, they have a knack for great mix and match ideas. Lori explained, “At first the clothing was online, then we began attending events and shows as a vendor. And now we are here at the store.” You will find lots of fun and comfortable styles with LeeMaries Apparel. Home décor is all around both inside and out. Decorative details include candles, pillows, planters and festive yard signs. Sewing is yet another of Bonnie’s talents. And last, but not least, she bakes! Bonnie can whip up every kind of baked good you could imagine...even jams and jellies. Knives to dresses, nursery plants to deer blinds, lotions to cupcakes...so many details at this old home turned storefront. Be sure to like their Facebook page, Woodlands & Cloth so you won’t miss any of the opportunities she has to offer. Stop along The Corridor and shop with Woodlands & Cloth, both inside and out! n

HUNTING... IS BETTER WITH A BUDDY! by MISSY HUSTED

If you ask any hunter about their favorite thing pertaining to hunting, more than likely they will tell you it’s when they can take someone else hunting, especially a child, and they get to harvest an animal. Many adults get more joy from that experience than they do from harvesting an animal themselves. My Dad is definitely one of those people. I remember him taking my older cousins deer hunting when I was too little to go. But when I was old enough, he would also take me. He actually still enjoys it when I get to go with him, and I’m not so young anymore. When I took to Facebook for stories and pictures about kids hunting, my dad responded with, “You mean like when I tied you in a tree to keep you from falling out?” You might not think that’s very funny, but I distinctly remember what he tied me in the tree with a ball of pink nylon string of some sort. There was way too much of it and it seems like it was knotted up quite a bit. I was pretty little, maybe five years old, and he was wanting to make sure his girl wasn’t going

to fall out of the tree. This makes me chuckle a little bit because a few years later he built a stand for me to sit in by myself. One side was a nice 15 or so foot climb to the platform, but the other side was about a 50 to 75 foot drop off a hill. I don’t remember him providing anything to tie me into that tree! I have many more fun stories I could share about my dad or grandparents taking me hunting, but, I’m now going to let some folks from across The Corridor tell you some of their own stories. You will read these and see the importance of spending time with young ones, creating memories and passions that will last a lifetime. So, please enjoy these little blurbs about taking kids hunting. And remember – it’s a blast to take a kid hunting, but, please, if you’re hunting in tree stands, use those new fangled things you can buy called safety belts. Pink string is better than nothing, but a safety belt is the way to go!

Larry Parsons and buddy Dusty were turkey hunting and took Larry’s daughters, Sarah, five and Brooklyn, twelve, with them. Larry said, “Dusty was calling for me and we saw a tom turkey across a hay patch. The grass was tall enough to belly crawl closer to him without him noticing me, so I started crawling. I got almost close enough to the turkey to shoot and glance behind me and see Sarah belly crawling behind me. I never knew she was following me across the field. Unfortunately, we did not get the turkey but unbeknownst to me, my buddy was filming the whole thing while he was calling, so we have a great fun memory that will last longer than any turkey.” n

dwayne carter Dwayne Carter shared that Clyde Banard was a lifelong friend of his who passed away due to some surgical complications a couple of years ago. “Clyde’s son, Parker, loved hunting with his Dad. After his dad passed away, Parker messaged me to see if I would take him hunting. We were lucky enough to get him his first turkey captured on video, and then two nights later his first Oklahoma feral hog with thermal. This year Parker’s grandfather took him archery hunting and he was able to harDwayne Carter with Clyde’s son, Parker, shown on his first turkey.hu vest his first deer.” n nt. 14 THE CORRIDOR / NOVEMBER 2018

BRETT FESLER Brett Fesler has started a tradition of taking his children on a dove hunt on opening day of the season. He says they always wear hearing protection and he makes safety a number one priority. They don’t always kill anything and sometimes the dove hunt turns into a squirrel hunt, but they have fun and the memories after are sweet and will last forever. Pictured to the right is Brett Fesler and his daughter, Kodi, who Is five years old. n

kirby mcentire Kirby McEntire said, “My daughter, Paige, enjoys trapping with her Dad. We get to talk about stuff that Mom does not need to know about. Paige likes exploring and looking for animal signs and tracks. When we walk up to a trap and find a coyote there, she says that all the hard work was worth it.” n

Give T.H.A.N.K.S. by MICHELLE BROWN

Time. We all have the same amount in our day. Do we allow the busyness of the world to cut into our time for our family and friends? Do we stop, slow down and give thanks for time spent with loved ones?

Hardships. We all have daily, weekly, monthly or sometimes even a year’s worth of hardships. Do we give thanks that we made it through those difficult times of this year? And do we give thanks for the lessons learned and realizations made during those troublesome times that may have never occurred if not for hardships?

Achievements. Although difficult to do, we must find the achievements during our hardships. Are we thanking those who have contributed to our achievements? Do we acknowledge in thankful gratitude to family and friends who help us achieve and succeed?

Notice. Take time to notice this world in a positive sense. Notice your own behavior to others and theirs to you. Instead of hurrying through this life, notice the beauty of the world around us. We cannot rightfully dictate our last day on earth, so give thanks for each sunrise and sunset.

Kindness. As we wind down the year and slip into the Thanksgiving Day holiday, are we making a special point to exhibit kindness in our actions? Our world is filled with negative and argumentative situations. It is very easy to be harsh and hasty in our attitude. Are we approaching each day with kindness and thanking those who are kind to us?

Simple. Are we living daily as simple as possible? Or are we making our routines full of complexity and confusion? Life will bring complications no matter who you are, so make an effort to simplify often; give thanks to the simplicities of life when they present themselves. The month of November is often overlooked for its importance. If we could only live this month graciously throughout the year, what a changed world it would be. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 gives us directions for all our days and situations: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Travel safely and thankfully down The Corridor this month!

{a song of thanksgiving{ Look around you! Oklahoma is a gorgeous place to live! Remember, giving thanks is never something we should do. Praising the Creator for these gifts is our honor and privilege. There are many wonderful songs we sing in the church at Thanksgiving time, but one of my favorite Thanksgiving hymns is “For the Beauty of the Earth” written by Folliott S. Pierpoint in 1864. Pierpoint loved to walk in the country and discovered in nature the overwhelming presence of the Creator. Pierpoint wrote seven volumes of hymns during his lifetime, many celebrating the beauty of creation, but the one hymn for which he is remembered is this hymn which celebrates the gifts of life and directs our “grateful praise” to the Giver of every good and perfect gift. At the age of 29, Pierpoint penned the words to “For the Beauty of the Earth” for a communion service in the church in his native city of Bath, England. The original poem consisted of eight six-line stanzas, four of which are omitted from most hymnals. The hymn is normally sung to the tune named “Dix” which was composed by German musician Conrad Kocher. The tune produces wonderful effects with Pierpoints text, because of the music’ antiphonal structure. For the beauty of the earth, For the glory of the skies, For the Love which from our birth Over and around us lies: Christ our God, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise. I have loved this hymn since I used to sing it as a boy growing up in the Ohio valley with its beautiful forested hills and winding rivers. Whenever I hear the chorus of the hymn, I remember my father’s huge tenor voice 26 THE CORRIDOR NOVEMBER 2018

singing praise to the One who graces us with life and beauty. I think of the many hours I wandered through the woods and played beside Tinker’s Creek. These days I take great joy in the breath-taking views of the hills and valleys of my adopted home of Oklahoma. My favorite verse is the second which observes the intrinsic gift of time and the opportunities it gives us to notice the beauty of nature. For the wonder of each hour Of the day and of the night, Hill and vale and tree and flow’r, Sun and moon and stars of light: Lord of all to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise. Folliott Pierpoint originally called this hymn, “The Sacrifice of Praise” which lifted the phrase from Hebrews 13:15, “Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God…” In an election year we are bombarded with candidates who would have us see everything wrong with the world from their vantage point. How important for us to spend a few hours of our days and nights noticing just how great and wonderful is the creation and our nation. During this month of Thanksgiving, may each of us gather with our friends and families expressing our gratitude to the Great Spirit who created the universe and who continues to grace our lives with wonder and beauty. Look around you! Oklahoma is a gorgeous place to live! Remember, giving thanks is never something we should do, praising the Creator for these gifts is our honor and privilege. n

Notes

ALONG THE CORRIDOR

by RICK REILEY

GIAKOB LEE: Launches Solo Along The Corridor By day Giakob (pronounced Jacob) Beasley is part of the management team at Cushing’s Beasley Technology company. His older brother Geoffrey began the business in 2004 and he joined soon after that. Since that time the management team has grown the company into a formidable organization employing dozens of people in downtown Cushing. By day Beasley is President of Beasley Technology, by night and on weekends he dons one of his many guitars and performs as singer/songwriter Giakob Lee all across central and north central Oklahoma. I first met him about eight years ago. And while I knew he was a guitar player in his private life I’d never heard

34 THE CORRIDOR / NOVEMBER 2018

him perform until this past summer. It was an eye opener for me! He had kept his music very private and close to the vest until then. Recently I’ve see news of him performing from Tulsa to Stillwater to Oklahoma City to Norman and places in between. It appears he’s burning his candle at both ends and it’s burning brightly indeed. He’s performed with many of the same people I know in the business and he’s received accolades far and wide. I stopped him downtown recently long enough to ask him a few questions about his background, how he got interested in music and how this new chapter in his life had taken hold. Giakob Beasley was born in Oklahoma CIty in 1985. He grew up in Bethany until he was nine years old, then on to Guymon for a few years and finally to a farm in southwest Kansas near Rolla where he graduated high school in 2003. Music was very prominent in the whole family and his grandmother played piano her entire life in the Church. As he tells it “...grandmother was one of the best honky tonk pianists I’ve ever heard.” His mother, a gifted vocalist, also sang in church. It was sitting next to her at church where he learned the difference between singing melody and harmony. “That was her contribution to music,” he adds. His older brother Geoffrey who is also a talented and animated singer (as anyone who’s ever heard him perform karaoke in downtown Cushing can attest!) was first in the family to pick up the guitar and later helped him buy one of his own. Another brother, Gerod, Gaikob says, didn’t sing or play but was a big music fan and had music playing all over the house and made sure to point out to Giakob where good music could be found. His sister Gene loved to play flute and could sing as well. Giakob 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. I asked how that came about. It seems that October 2016 to October 2017 was a devastating year for him, from losing a favorite dog, getting divorced, having his home and business in downtown Cushing affected by the November 2016 earthquake to later being stabbed (along with co-workers) in his own place of business by a mentally disturbed individual. Those twelve months seems to have served as a vivid reminder that nothing is guaranteed and that we had better be prepared to make to most out of every day we’re given. He coped with these events like many songwriters and musicians -by writing a lot, exploring the depth of loss, the loss of hope and trying to make sense of it all as best he could, through music. All the while continuing to work his day job, as people do. He says that in conversations he generally talks a lot, but in songs, he tries to keep it short and to the point. It’s a good exercise, even for non songwriters. Giakob Lee has a fine sense of rythm, he’s a very good guitarist and has one of the strongest, forceful, sometimes delicate, most self assured, dynamic voices I’ve heard in a long time. While much of his work bends toward the darker side

of the spectrum it’s an easy speculation that he’s headed toward the light. As far as his sound I find him quite comparable to some of John Mayer’s work but he says he’s most frequently compared to Rob Thomas. I wasn’t familiar with Rob Thomas but after listening extensively, I can easly see this comparison. He’s been performing with regularity at JJ’s Alley in OKC’s Bricktown, as well as VZD’s in OKC. He plays frequently at the Colony in Tulsa, Zanotti’s in Stillwater and many other locations in between. He’s been spending a lot of time with Oklahoma singer/songwriters, sharing songs, experiences, tricks of the trade and, more often than not, sharing microphones and stages. He’s gaining a feel, as well as an appreciation for the routine nightlife of an Oklahoma musician. Giakob has been working on having his first album ready for release in the Spring of 2019. He tells me : ’Cody Clinton, of Tulsa’s ‘Desi and Cody’ notoriety, is producing the record as well as composing instrumental parts. Nathan Price, of Broncho, is doing all the percussion. Kendal Osborne, of Closet Studios in Tulsa has let us invade his studio. He too, has been instrumental in forming these songs and contributing to this record and he will be working out the mix once we complete tracking. I am blown away by all of their creativity and their willingness to teach me the business along the way…” His music is more pop than country, more bluesy than jazz, more sophisticated, urbane and soulful than one might expect from an Oklahoma panhandle farm boy gone hi tech. It’s good stuff. And as always, it’s best to hear a live performance. As of this writing he was scheduled to launch his Giakob Lee Music project on Cushing’s KUSH Radio on October 26th, as well as online. I highly recommend.

The Course of Your Life BRIDAL FAIR RETURNS TO CUSHING! Past Editorials by Joe Gooch

The Course of Your Life 2012 THE CORRIDOR MAGAZINE’S VERY FIRST BRIDAL FAIR

Carley Martin (front), Candace Caldwell (back left), and Morgan Frazier (back right), just can’t wait for Saturday January 28, 2012 to attend The Course of Your Life – A Wedding on The Corridor, our very first BRIDAL FAIR, at the Cushing Country Club. The dresses featured in this photo are from Irene’s Bridal in Cushing, and the photo was taken at the Cushing Country Club. n

“PLAYING THE MAN CARD”

Wow! Give Judy Gooch an idea and watch her run with it and even improve it when needed. Robin Dunaway with Drumright Dental Center and close friend of Judy’s suggested The Corridor Magazine have a Bridal Fair. The first annual The Course of Your Life Bridal Fair held at the Cushing Country Club and Golf course was a success with 14 vendors and 17 brides-to-be registered last January. OK so what does this have to do with playing the man card? Let me ask you, can you see Joe Gooch hosting a Bridal Fair? When I am not listening to KUSH, I listen to the Sports Animal. I especially enjoy hearing Mark Rogers take questions from male callers about certain things being manly or not. Let’s say your wife asked you to go to a baby shower and miss the first day of deer season. Or you go with your wife and her girlfriends to a movie called Love Story Part II. Mark Rogers would say, “Play the man card.” So what did I do? I corralled two beautiful, energetic Chandler girls who love attending bridal fairs to help. I could not have made two better choices. There are several reasons The Corridor Magazine has become so popular, one of them being all of Judy’s ef46 THE CORRIDOR / NOVEMBER 2018

forts and ideas. Another reason is the beautiful cover photos we use every month furnished by Kinsey Evans. Yes, Kinsey is handling the Bridal Fair, and since I mentioned playing the man card, I may say she has really taken the bull by the horns. My other selection is Kinsey’s classmate, Johnna Plunkett, who is very involved and has helped schedule a fashion show for the bridesto-be. Last year’s The Course of Your Life was big! This year is on track to be double that, and you don’t want to miss it. Judy would be proud, and I hope to see you there! I told the girls I would be available if they needed some tables scooted around. Who knows I might even wear a sports jacket.n

“LET’S TALK BRIDAL FAIR” PHOTO by CRYSTL’S PHOTOGRAPHY

Let’s talk Bridal Fair! There is not much to say except it gets bigger and better every year. Come and see up to date fashions for the bride, groom, parents, and even attendees. Shannon Lee has done a great job organizing booths, prizes, food, and much more for your complete wedding. This year you are in luck! There is no $5.00 admission fee. I love the sound of this... “This year its free, thanks to FBC.” That’s right First Bank of Chandler has sponsored your admission to the Fair this year! You have no excuses, see you there. Love is all you need! She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah! n

FEBRUARY 2015 BRIDAL FAIR EDITORIAL...

“LOVE IS IN THE AIR”

“Love is in the air everywhere I look around. Love is in the air every sight and every sound.” By the time you finish reading this February issue of The Corridor Magazine you will be singing that song. Four years of Bridal Fairs and four different directors: Judy, Kinsey, Shannon and Shana. I promise I am not running them off. Each lady has done an amazing job! However, I did panic a few weeks ago when I called Shannon Lee and said, “We need to have a meeting and get this 2015 Bridal Fair rolling!” Shannon just started crying and said, “I can’t help this year Joe. I can’t put any weight on my foot!” I immediately played the man card and called 1-800-Shana, my daughter-in law, and begged for help. Shana and I are on schedule and rolling! Everyone loves telling their individual success stories and The

Corridor Bridal Fair definitely has its own. 2012 had 17 brides-to-be in attendance, 2013 had 41, and last year’s 2014 welcomed 67! With family and friends accompanying the young couples there have been over 200 in attendance. My late wife Judy, along with friend, Robin Dunaway, had a goal of providing a look at all your wedding needs without traveling outside The Corridor. They reached out a step further with a fashion show exhibiting wedding gowns and tuxedos provided by local merchants. The Corridor Magazine is your gracious host and would LOVE to see you at the Bridal Fair and Fashion show! With all the excitement and success generated from this event, maybe we old country boys should consider a Hunting & Fishing Show. Just a thought...n

Delilah’s DILEMMAS

“You know, this close to Africa I expected diamonds,” Eli told Dooby. “Raw, cut. Whatever. I mean, that’s been her modus operandi for years. Selling illegal gems to corrupt gem dealers.” Eli was in Greece, and had just riffled through Abigail’s hotel suite. He immediately called Dooby with the results of his find, and an inquiry about Abigail’s elderly husband, Henry. “Chips, Dooby,” Eli said. “I found chips.” There was a long pause. “What!” Dooby said. “Diamond chips? Wood chips? Potato chips?” “NO!” Eli exclaimed. “Computer chips. Integrated circuits.” “What is she up to?” Dooby said, after a few well warranted expletives. “Uhh, I was hoping you would know the answer to that.” Eli said. “Industrial secrets? Military secrets? It could be anything,” Dooby offered. “Not only do we not know what they are, but we don’t know who’s involved,” Eli said. “Before you take action, let me check with my contacts to see if they can come up with something,” Dooby said. There was another pregnant pause while Eli wondered just what action he could possibly take or whom to contact. The primary reason he had gone solo on this stakeout was because he didn’t trust the people in the government agency he had worked for in the past. “It would help if we knew what was on the chips,” Dooby said tentatively. “Of course, that would require getting your hands on one of them.” Eli laughed “Now how did I know you were going to say that?” “I’m just sayin’” Dooby said with a laugh of his own. “By the way, why did you ask about Henry?” Dooby asked. “I found the circuits in his cane,” Eli replied. “A cane, incidentally, he doesn’t use.” “How likely is it an old man’s cane would be checked at airport security?” Dooby asked. “Right?” Eli said. 52 THE CORRIDOR / NOVEMBER 2018

“I’ll see what I can do,” Eli promised. Delilah sat at the old, oak desk in the living room where she’d just concluded a short conversation with Charlie, the Lincoln County Sheriff. She had arranged to meet Charlie that afternoon. She wanted to see if the creepy guy who had mysteriously appeared at her front door the night before, then just as mysteriously disappeared, had ever been booked into the Lincoln County Jail. She withheld that bit of information from Charlie for fear that he, like Dooby, would dismiss the suspicion as “the trappings of an overactive imagination.” Delilah returned to the kitchen and resumed lunch preparations with Marietta. The beef stock and vegetables had been added to the seared cubes of beef. And Marietta had just placed the sweet cornbread in the oven. “You want me to call Gus?” Marietta asked, pulling her flip s tyl e c e l l p h o n e fro m a p o c k e t i n h e r apron “Please,” Delilah said. “Tell them twenty minutes.” Sure enough, twenty minutes later the kitchen was full of men, lined up at the kitchen sink to wash their hands. Very little was said during lunch. Dooby’s reticence a result of deep thought; Delilah’s, an effort to keep Dooby from discovering her plan. Lunch devoured, kitchen cleaned, and men back to work on the stable, Delilah donned her coat and hat, and grabbed

her purse. She instructed Marietta to go home and take a nap, then patted her baby-bump, and abruptly left. Delilah had given Charlie, the Lincoln County Sheriff, a full account of the creepy man who showed up on her doorstep, and then she requested a glance at mugshots based on her theory that the man had been in prison with Herbert Thomas, her old attorney, who had tried murdering her. Charlie pointed out that he only had mugshots of those convicted in Lincoln County and her odds of winning the lottery were far better than the odds of Mr. Creepy having been in prison with Herbert and having been convicted in Lincoln County. Delilah stared blankly at Charlie, who leaned against the door jamb of his office, with his arms crossed in front of him. “Well, when you put it like that,” she finally said. Charlie laughed. “Come sit at this desk,” he said with a wave of his hand. He led her to a desk, logged on to the computer, and instructed her to scroll through the photos. Delilah removed her coat and draped it over the back of the chair. She sat down, scooted closer to the desk, and got busy. Twenty minutes later, Charlie sat a cup of coffee on the desk. “Any luck?” he asked. “Not yet,” she replied. “Let me know if you find something,” he said, as he

exited the room again. Ten more minutes passed as dozens of photos zipped by. Then, a vaguely familiar face popped up on the screen. Delilah studied the picture intently. “Charlie?” she called out, unable to take her eyes off the face staring back at her from the computer screen. “I think this might be the guy,” she said, excitedly, as Charlie came into the room. “Except this guy’s hair is longer, and his face is a little fuller. But the eyes are the same. Yeah, same creepy eyes.” Charlie stepped up behind Delilah, and she shivered uncontrollably even though the office was a toasty 76 degrees. “Are you sure?” Charlie said, a slight tone of alarm in his voice. Delilah looked over her shoulder at Charlie. “What’s with the look?” she asked The scowl that was on Charlie’s face a split second before was replaced with a look of surprise. “What look?” he said. “You had a look,” Delilah insisted. “Don’t know what you’re talkin’ ‘bout,” Charlie said. “Okay. Whatever,” Delilah said. “But you had a look.” She turned her attention back to eerie face on the computer screen. “So, what’s the story on this guy?” Delilah asked. Charlie didn’t answer right away, and when he did respond, it was with slow and careful deliberation.

“Before I share with you what I know, or what I think I know,” he said. “I’m going to check on a few things. Are you okay with that?” “If I said no, would you tell me now?” she asked. “No,” he replied. “So, it really doesn’t matter whether I’m okay with it or not,” she offered. “No, not really,” he said with a grin. Delilah stood and reached for her coat on the back of the chair. Charlie beat her to it, and then held it while she shrugged into it. “Did you say he grabbed the handle of the storm door?” Charlie asked nonchalantly. “Yes, he did,” Delilah replied. “I’m going to send a deputy to the ranch to get finger prints,” he said. “Good idea,” Delilah said. “We may need to get prints from everyone living at the ranch. You know, to rule them out,” Charlie said. “Well, if you need my prints, just contact the Georgia Bureau of Investigation,” she said with a chuckle. “They got a right pretty set of them when I was booked on suspicion of murdering my fourth husband.” She had reached the door, and spun on her heals to find Charlie quietly laughing and shaking his head. Delilah started to turn back to leave, but Charlie stopped her. “Hey, Delilah?” he shouted. “Before you go home, you

need to buy a lottery ticket.” Delilah laughed heartily, knowing her instinct had been correct. “Yes, I do!” she exclaimed. Taking Charlie’s advice, Delilah stopped at the convenient store on the way out of town and purchased a lottery ticket; five sets of numbers with the power play. As she drove home, in no particular hurry, she imagined what she would do with close to a quarter of a billion dollars. She thought she would probably build Gus a new house, and dispose of the ancient mobile home he occupied now. She’d make sure Marietta and her children were taken care of for the rest of their lives, she thought as she turned off of Highway 18, onto Parkland Road. Eli and Dooby had so much money of their own, that any contribution from Delilah’s millions would seem redundant. But Karon. She thought she would buy Karon a really expensive pair of designer shoes to go with the designer purse that Dooby bought her for Christmas. Just as her mind started down the “Joel” road, a deer sprang across the road in front of her. She jumped. When she jumped, she momentarily lost control of the pickup. It swerved to the right where the tire caught the lip of a low shoulder, and seemed to pull her farther off the road and into the ditch. Knowing the dangers of over-compensating the steering, Delilah let the pickup go into the ditch while she gently pumped the breaks.

When the vehicle finally came to a stop, Delilah took a deep breath, unbuckled her seat belt, checked the mirrors for any traffic, and then got out of the pickup to survey the damage. It looked okay. Tires were fully inflated, no dents. She took a cursory look at the under carriage and found no signs of damage or leaks. “Okay!” she told herself. “We’re okay.” She got back into the pickup and turned the key. Nothing. Her heart sank. She turned the key again. Nothing. She rummaged through her purse and located her cell phone. Miraculously, it was charged enough to make a call. She called Dooby’s number. No answer. She left a message on his voice mail telling him where she was and what had happened. She called Gus and repeated the same process having received his voice mail instead of an answer. “Just my luck,” she whispered. “Lots of charge and nobody’s home.” As Delilah sat exceptionally still and quietly contemplating her next move, there was a tremendously jarring bang from the driver’s side of the pickup that shook the entire vehicle. Delilah screamed and spun in the seat expecting to find that she had been hit by a car. What she found was Mr. Creepy looking at her through the window. n

Holy Heart Failure!!! What will Delilah do? Will Dooby or Gus get the message in time for a rescue? Don’t miss the next installment of Delilah’s Dilemmas n the December issue of The Corridor Magazine.
