When Samuel returned home and found his fiancée and his daughter angry at each other, it stirred up all of his old anxieties about his family breaking apart. When Ada told him what happened, he had to fight the urge to hide away in the bedroom forever. No, this had to be handled properly...if only he knew what the proper way was!

Samuel: "Hannah, we need to talk."

Hannah *under her breath*: "Here we go...."

The thought of having this conversation with her father made her skin crawl.

Samuel: "Please, we need to address what happened."

Hannah: "What happened was the most embarrassing moment of my life! Can we just drop it?"

Ada gave a little huff and folded her arms on her chest.

Ada: "See what I mean? She's being rude on top of it all!"

That was the last straw. Hannah was in no mood for another lecture from Saint Ada, and it was clear whose side her father was on.

Ada: "Where do you think you're going?"

Hannah: "To my room."

Samuel: "But -"

Hannah: "I DON'T want to talk about it, all right?!"

For the second time in less than a year, patrons at Blake Shelton's Ole Red Tishomingo witnessed the concert debut of one of his teenage stepsons.

Zuma Rossdale, 15 — the middle of three sons Shelton's wife, pop icon Gwen Stefani, shares with her ex-husband, rocker Gavin Rossdale — played his first public performance Monday, July 29 at Ole Red Tishomingo.

Zuma, who will turn 16 on Aug. 21, covered two songs by up-and-coming Oklahoma country music superstar Zach Bryan during the short acoustic set at his stepfather's hometown restaurant, bar and venue.

"I had no idea that he was going to come out ... and sing until Blake started talking," said concertgoer Jamie McGaugh, a devoted Shelton fan from Coalgate. 

"He did mention Kingston, and he said Kingston's influence was Gwen, but Zuma's influence was him — and he was all proud about that."

Zuma Rossdale follows brother Kingston in making his debut at Ole Red Tishomingo

An Ada native, Shelton, 48, made Tishomingo his adopted hometown several years ago, and he opened the first location in his Ole Red bar and restaurant chain there in 2017. The eight-time Grammy nominee is known to occasionally perform at his Johnston County hot spot.

Shelton and Stefani, 54, started dating in 2015 after they met when they were both working as coaches on the hit NBC series "The Voice." The couple live on the sprawling Ten Point Ranch near Tishomingo, where they wed on July 3, 2021.

Last August, Kingston, then 17, played his first public set inside The Doghouse music hall at Ole Red Tishomingo, performing a series of original alternative-rock songs. An encouraging Oklahoma audience of about 400 music lovers witnessed his debut, including McGaugh, and her mother, Lanell Eclair, also of Coalgate.

Which Zach Bryan songs did Zuma Rossdale play at his debut concert in Oklahoma?

For his debut at Ole Red, Zuma performed a more low-key and down-home show. At about 3 p.m. Monday, Shelton posted on X that he was planning to stop by Ole Red Tishomingo at about 5 p.m. that same day.

"I’m coming by to grab some food and thought I’d hop up and play 3 or 4 songs," he posted on the social media site.

McGaugh barely had time to drive from her Atoka workplace back to Coalgate, collect her mom and her daughter, Mazie McGaugh, and get over to Tishomingo. With the short notice, she said Shelton took the stage in the Ole Red restaurant, rather than the Doghouse music hall, for about 100 fans, mostly locals.

"We made pretty good time. It did dawn on me the other day ... 'He wasn't popped up at Tish in a while; I'd better be on alert because he may be gonna do that, because he does it once or twice a year.' You never know about him. But I never dreamed about it being on a Monday night," she said.

"I was shocked when he walked out. I was taken aback ... because I was like, 'Wait, he never has on a cowboy hat."

Along with the white hat, Shelton took the Ole Red stage in a blue plaid shirt, blue jeans and boots, to perform "Playboys of the Southwestern World," a fan-favorite song he dedicated to his youngest stepson, Apollo. Stefani and Apollo watched the show at a table alongside the pop star's sister-in-law, niece and nephews. Both the boys wore cowboy, hats, too, McGaugh said.

Shelton played "Pour Me a Drink," his new duet with Post Malone, solo before introducing Zuma. The teen took the stage dressed in a pale striped button-down shirt, blue jeans, brown boots and a black cowboy hat and carrying an acoustic guitar.

"This is Zuma, everybody," Shelton said, as the crowd cheered appreciatively.

"How y'all doing?" the teen drawled as he settled on a tall stool.

"Get the microphone where they can hear it," Shelton coached, adjusting the microphones for Zuma.

Strumming his guitar, Zuma sang solo on two popular songs by Bryan: "Oklahoma Smokeshow" and "Revival."

Everybody was excited. I think everybody was very open with Kingston. But this was more of the vibe that's over there, the country music. It seemed like everybody knew everything, and it was very shocking how good his voice was. I had no idea. He was very good," McGaugh said.

After earning rousing applause for his two-song set, Zuma yielded the stage back to Shelton, who closed the half-hour acoustic show with his signature song, "Ol' Red."

A Shelton super-fan. McGaugh said she's thrilled that she's now seen both Kingston and Zuma give their first public performances.

"I think those kids love it over here ... and everybody over here loves Gwen and her boys. They really do. I haven't ran into one person that said that they didn't like them, or that they weren't nice," she said

78) The Argus - australijsk poranna gazeta codzienna w Melbourne od 2 czerwca 1846 do 19 stycznia 1957 i była uważana za ogólnokrajową australijską gazetę w tym okresie. Przez większość swojej historii znana była jako gazeta konserwatywna, od 1949 roku przyjęła lewicowe podejście. Głównym konkurentem Argus była bardziej liberalna gazeta Davida Syme'a, The Age.

Gazeta pierwotnie należała do Williama Kerra, który był również urzędnikiem miejskim Melbourne w latach 1851–1856 i był dziennikarzem w Sydney Gazette, zanim przeniósł się do Melbourne w 1839 r., aby pracować nad gazetą Johna Fawknera, Port Phillip Patriot. Pierwsze wydanie ukazało się 2 czerwca 1846 r. Gazeta wkrótce stała się znana z obelżywych nadużyć i sarkazmu, a w 1853 r., po przegraniu serii procesów o zniesławienie, Kerr był zmuszony sprzedać własność gazety, aby uniknąć ruiny finansowej. Gazetę wydawał wówczas Edward Wilson. W 1855 r. miała dzienny nakład 13 000 egzemplarzy. W październiku 1881 r. uruchomiono popołudniowe wydanie, Evening Mail, redagowane przez Henry'ego Shorta, ale okazało się ono porażką i zaprzestano publikacji w sierpniu 1882 r W 1883 roku redaktor i właściciel gazety Richard Twopeny (1857–1919) uznał The Argus za „najlepszą codzienną gazetę wydawniczą wydawaną poza Anglią”. Gazeta stała się stałym towarzyszem tygodnika The Australasian, który w 1946 roku stał się Australasian Post.

Podczas kryzysu, w 1933 r., uruchomiła Melbourne Evening Star, konkurując z gazetą The Herald z Herald & Weekly Times, ale zakończyła przedsięwzięcie w 1936 r. z powodu niskich nakładów. Działalność gazetowa firmy poniosła poważne straty finansowe od 1939 r., które trwały przez lata 40. i 50. z powodu zawirowań gospodarczych, wzrostu kosztów papieru gazetowego i zaciekłej konkurencji o nakład gazet w Melbourne. W czerwcu 1949 r. The Argus został przejęty przez londyńską grupę gazet Daily Mirror, a 28 lipca 1952 r. stał się pierwszą gazetą na świecie, która publikowała kolorowe fotografie w dzienniku. Gazeta zajmowała się również radiem, a od 1956 r. nowym medium telewizji, będąc częścią konsorcjum General Telecasters Victoria (GTV) i jego stacji telewizyjnej GTV-9 (obecnie część Nine Network). 19 stycznia 1957 r., po 110 latach, siedmiu miesiącach i 17 dniach, ukazało się ostatnie wydanie The Argus. Gazeta została wycofana i sprzedana grupie Herald and Weekly Times (HWT), która zobowiązała się ponownie zatrudnić pracowników Argus i kontynuować publikację wybranych artykułów, a także dokonała przydziału akcji właścicielom z Wielkiej Brytanii. Pozostałe operacje drukowania i nadawania spółki nie zostały naruszone.

Hmm….I feel I always give the same answers to these questions but my biggest influences have been the work of Don DeLillo, Denis Johnson, Sandra Cisneros, Ada Limon, Jeffrey Eugenides, Ottessa Moshfegh, Ai, Charles Bukowski, Plath and the music of Nina Simone, Elliott Smith, Big Thief, Radiohead, Sharon Van Etten, Roy Orbison, Daniel Johnston and films like Gummo, Crumb, The Piano Teacher, and every Charlie Kaufman film….I’m probably missing some! But those are the things I visit the most when I have writers block !

Just as Rowan and Hannah were finishing their dinner, the happy couple returned home.

They couldn't wait to share the news.

Samuel: "Hannah, honey...Ada and I have something to tell you."

Hannah: "Oh did you finally propose? Cool!"

Samuel was taken aback for a moment. As he'd told Ada, he'd talked with his daughter about the possibility of them getting married. Hannah had assured him she was fine with it.

Samuel: "Ah...yes. I did!"

A slightly awkward silence descended.

At least, until Hannah went and put her arms around her father.

Hannah: "Congratulations, dad. You too, Ada. I'm happy for you, really!"

Samuel: "Thank you, honey."

Ada: "We appreciate it!"

Another potential reason for flying into Ada

Blake’s Ranch is in District 4 of Oklahoma Wildlife Department.  The current Director is based in Ada, Oklahoma.  This may account for going to Ada first, and then the subsequent trips back and forth to ADA.

Hey folks! We’ve got a new blog platform for our weekly newsletter. Catch up on the latest articles and news from the last few weeks, and please share our newsletter with your friends and family. Thanks!

Brandon Cohran has joined the History Center as our new Museum Services Manager! Brandon received his bachelors degree from Kennesaw State University and recently graduated from the University of West Georgia with his masters degree in history with a concentration in public history. His thesis was centered around the history of beer in Georgia! (Perhaps you'll see an article on that in our newsletter soon!) Brandon is very excited to be at the History Center and looks forward to meeting you all.

Museum Services Manager Brandon Cohran

Thank you to all of our Members who joined us for a special members meeting to review the past year and look to the year ahead. We had much to be proud of in 2019 serving thousands of students through on-site and digital programming, providing our free Family Days, developing our free reading program, and drawing in new folks to enjoy the History Center's exhibits. All of this would not be possible without the support of our Members.

After the meeting, a special Forum was held in which George Washington (portrayed by Ken Johnston) and John Adams (portrayed by Glen Kyle) discussed their hopes for the future of the nation, where they agreed and disagreed on policies, and the differences in their presidencies. Watch the livestream here: Forum Livestream

Free admission to events like this and more are all part of our Membership. There are options for every financial level and great benefits. See all options at this link: Memberships 

Our Lunch & Learn about 18th-century medicine was a fascinating look at the medical technology, common remedies, and medical knowledge of the time. Presented by our Executive Director Glen Kyle, guests learned about the medical equipment and tools, the technique of bleeding a patient for bad humors, dentistry, how to ease the pain of the patient, and more. Perhaps not the best topic to have with your lunch, but certainly an interesting one!

Harriet Tubman met students of Chicopee Woods Elementary during a Live Webcast! This is one of our most popular Webcasts. The students love learning about Harriet's life, her escape to freedom, and how she helped hundreds of slaves escape through the network of safe-houses known as the Underground Railroad. Chiara Richardson portrays Harriet for our Webcasts and does a fantastic job. She's extremely knowledgeable of Harriet's life and can answer just about any question from the students! Here's what Chiara had to say about portraying Harriet Tubman:

"I am extremely honored and proud to portray the life of American abolitionist and political activist Harriet Tubman. She is a personal ‘shero’ of mine. In the webcast performances, we explore her life’s work and her impact beyond the Underground Railroad. I’ve learned that there is something about history coming to life that connects with students and even adults on a personal level. Yes, students leave with a greater understanding of Mrs. Tubman’s life. I believe the biggest takeaway is for students to awaken the possibilities of their own experiences."

Harriet Tubman meets students during a Live Webcast

Libba Beaucham portrayed a World War II “Rosie” this week for several classes during a Live Webcast. She specifically portrayed a woman who would have worked at the Bell Bomber Plant in Marietta, Georgia during WWII. She described the work of women on the homefront during the war and the challenges that people faced back home with rationing, communicating with loved ones serving overseas, and trying to balance home life and work life. During the out-of-character portion of the Webcast, Libba discussed the differences in the illustrations of Rosies. The illustration that most of us are familiar with is the “We Can Do It!” image by J. Howard Miller. But this image became iconic much later after the war! The most well-known image of a Rosie during the war was actually Norman Rockwell’s cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1943 which depicts a Rosie with a brawny, more muscular body and confident attitude. Note that she also has her foot on the book Mein Kampf!

For MLK Day this year, we hosted a special storytime with MLK Jr. himself! Mustapha Slack portrayed MLK Jr. and took questions from the audience of children and families between reading stories. This program was part of the History Center’s reading program, Gainesville Reads, which provides free one-on-one tutoring to elementary students who struggle with reading. We had a wonderful set of books donated to the program! One family even made cookies for Dr. King! Thank you all who attended!

This week From the Archives is the Prior Street Garden Club Composition Book from 1932 to 1935. Prior Street is the road where Brenau University, Candler Park, and the Martha Hope Cabin reside. The Garden Club met monthly on Fridays at the Prior Street home of Mrs. J.H. Simmons.

Many interesting entries are within the book. The Garden Club donated seeds and plants to the Roadside Beautification Committee to be planted in their name during a November 2nd meeting. The group would create programs dedicated to the preservation and gardens of interest around the United States, including a program called “Famous Gardens” about the garden at Mount Vernon. Meetings would include a social hour, in which food, drink, and even games were played. We have a few of the Prior Street Garden Club’s Books within our archives, each an absolute joy to read!

Family Day: The Deerskin Wars + Super Museum Sunday Sunday, February 9th from 1-4 PM FREE

The most important trade in Colonial Georgia between Colonists and the Cherokee or Creek Nations was the exchange for deerskins given by the Native Americans for trade guns and “duffels” – a durable, highly prized cloth – to Frontier Merchants. This DeerSkin Trade was so lucrative in fact that trade-wars (and sometimes shooting wars!) broke out between the competing French and British Empires and their respective Native American allies. With Hands-on activities, Demonstrations, and Living History Interpretation we’ll bring the vibrant and colorful 18th century Deerskin Trade to life.

February 9th is also "Super Museum Sunday" so we are offering free admission to our exhibits during Family Day as well!

Women of Canada! - Women Who Died on Active Service

During the First World War, many Canadian women served the war effort through direct military service. This often meant roles maintaining supplies, driving ambulances, and serving as nurses and hospital administrators. Of those who served Canada in various wartime capacities, 66 women are listed as giving their lives during official military service in the WWI era. Most of these women served within the Canadian Army Medical Corps and the Canadian Army Nursing Service, but others with the Canadian Merchant Navy, the Canadian Military V.A.D., Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service, the Newfoundland Voluntary Aid Detachment, and the British Red Cross Society. More on which women below served under which of these branches can be found on Veterans Affairs Canada’s page ‘Lest We Forget Her’. On this International Women’s Day, we invite our readers to take a moment to remember these 66 women who gave their lives in service of Canada during the First World War:
