Black-Eyed Peas Traditional Fare For New Year's Day
Jami Bricker, Jay Layman Wed in Las Vegas Chapel
The fact that The Poncan Theatre brings in rare movies was attested to by the Charlie Mounts family during the holidays. Their daughter Shelli's friend Steve Hughes of Burbank, Calif., was here visiting and was amazed to learn that "Grass Harp" was playing here. He was the head electrician (best boy) on the movie, which is playing in only 20 cities nationwide. So as a present the entire Mounts family brought him to see "his picture." Hughes also works on Bay Watch and has done a number of the Barbra Streisand movies.
Two Ponca City residents were ejected from a van after an accident which occurred three miles east of North Fourteenth Street on Hubbard Road.
Apparently, a 1994 Chevrolet Astro van ran off the right side of the roadway, according to the investigation of Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Mark Cranford. The driver over-corrected and crossed the road, rolling the van 1-1/4 times.
The Ponca City ambulance crew reported a 38-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman were ejected from the van. An ambulance took Johnny H. Cornelius to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center where he was admitted in good condition with head, arm and leg injuries. A hospital official confirmed the victim has been released.
A Ponca City ambulance also took Mary Golay to SJRMC where she was treated and released. A private vehicle took Rebecca Blankenship, 39, of Arkansas City, to SJRMC where she received treatment and was released.
Seat belts were not in use when the accident occurred, the trooper reported.

The funeral service will be held at the First Christian Church of Blackwell at 2 p.m., Tuesday, with the Rev. George Wood presiding. Burial will follow in the Blackwell Cemetery under the direction of Roberts and Son Funeral Home.
She was born Hazel Loretta Stewart on June 21, 1920, on a farm near Gage. Her parents were William Washington and Adeline Bell (Culley) Stewart. The Stewarts moved their young family to Blackwell where Hazel and her five brothers grew up and attended school. Hazel graduated from Blackwell High School in 1938.
On her 18th birthday, June 21, 1938, Miss Stewart became the bride of Harlen Leon Keener. They were wed in the Nazarene Church in Blackwell and made their first home in Tonkawa. In March the following year, their only child, Chleora Kay, was born. The Keeners moved to Blackwell in 1941, but soon after Harlen joined the U.S. Marines and Hazel kept the home-fires burning in various towns throughout California where her husband was stationed during World War II.
After the war, the Keeners once again settled in Blackwell. Hazel worked in the office of Cities Service Gas and later as a sales clerk for Hunt's Department Store (later Peter's Department Store) where she worked until they closed. She then began working for Bob's Picture Box Too until earlier this year.
Hazel was a longtime member of the First Christian Church and sang in the choir most of her life. She also sang with the Sweet Adelines for many years. Hazel and Harlen were avid "rock hounds," and spent most of their vacations prospecting rocks and fossils all over the United States. Both were members of the Gem and Mineral Society. They loved to travel and spend time with their grandchildren. After her husband's death on Jan. 22, 1987, Hazel continued to live in Blackwell, devoting her time to church, family, and singing.
Hazel leaves behind her daughter, Mrs. Rex R. (Chleora Kay) Tebow of Blackwell; two brothers, Chester Stewart of Shawnee, and Les Stewart of Green Valley, Ariz; five grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren, Mrs. Dale (Kimberly Lynn) Coons, and sons Trey and Brandon and daughter, Jenna; Michael Harlen Tebow and sons, Mickey and Robbie and daughters, Cady and Jessica; Mrs. Stan (Lisa Dawn) Rains and sons Eric, Kyle, Jacob, Joseph, and Ted; Tracy Lee Tebow, and son Tyler and daughters Tanya and Alicia; and Devry Dwaine Tebow, and sons Dimtri and Dylan and daughter Devra.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; two sisters, who died in infancy, Bernice Jewell and Ruby Mae; three brothers, Virgil Stewart and Clinton Stewart of Ponca City, and Glenn Stewart of Blackwell; and one great-granddaughter, Michelle Tebow.
Jotted in the back of her well-worn address book was this brief epitaph; "Another link is broken in our beloved band - but a golden chain is forming in a far, far better land."
Memorials may be made to the First Christian Church, 306 East Coolidge, Blackwell, OK 74631.

A new year - a new beginning - a second chance to right the wrongs - an opportunity to celebrate. All this comes to mind when 1997 is mentioned. Because food is so closely associated with celebration recipes for traditional favorites abound. In this area black-eyed peas are thought to be good luck when eaten on the first day of the new year. Included in this story are some variations from the customary dishes
At New Year's of 1996 a discussion on the Southern U.S. custom of eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day ran on the Internet. The bean dish, sometimes called Hoppin' John -- and sometimes made with other edible beans--is in the United States tangentially associated with the old Scottish and British custom of "First Footing." Here is the text of the collected posts by Catherine Yronwede on New Year's Beans and First Footing, plus a comment on the New Year's luckiness of red beans in Japan.
Yronwede wrote: I was once married to a man from Alabama and I seem to recall that he told me the first meal of the New Year should be black-eyed peas, for good luck in the following year. H. Thornton wrote: Yes, indeed, black-eyed peas. For prosperity, specifically, at least here in West Texas.
Jim Eikner wrote: Indeed, it seems to be a wide-spread custom in Texas. Yesterday we cooked a pot of peas most of the day using the bone from a Christmas ham. At the stroke of midnight, the entire family toasted each other with champagne and consumed a bowl of black-eyed peas. For maximum good luck in the new year, the first thing you eat on New Year's Day MUST be the peas. "Texas Caviar," a spicy relish made from pickled black-eyes, is served by many clubs as part of the annual festivities.
The custom must have been around for a while. My family observed it when I was a child, and I'm forty-something now. Neither of my parents was originally from Texas, but they were familiar with the custom before they moved here from the Deep South. My mom, from Georgia, also insisted on making rutabaga pot licker on New Year's, for the same reason, says Eikner.
Fred Burke wrote: Absolutely! The luck of black-eyed peas is definitely alive and well in the southwest as a New Year's tradition. I also recall reading, in a long ago newspaper somewhere, that the tradition was started by a grocer with a large stock of black-eyed peas. Or a canner. Or a Black-Eyed Pea Association. Or something like that. Today I will make my annual pilgrimage to the grocery to try to find this Texas staple (which is displayed by the check-out line and at the end of rows in many Austin stores for the holiday.
Susan Profit wrote: Some folks in the South open every door and window at the stroke of midnight to let out any residual bad luck. They make a loud ruckus banging on pots and pans, setting off fireworks and take part in other noisy activities to chase it far away.
Some folks still take part in the Scots custom - from Hogmany - of first footing - the first person to set foot over your threshold on the New Year sets the luck for the year. Good looking men and women, children with birthdays on the day itself were among others considered to be good luck, and folks that fit the local criteria (new brides, new mothers, the local preacher, or lacking anyone else, someone who was healthy) would go from house to house, treated to drink and good food, while they were invited to be the first over the threshold. (Why leave anything as important as luck to chance, eh?)
"Hoppin' John"
In some parts, folks go back inside and for luck they chow down on a rich bean soup called Hoppin' John, made of black- eyed peas simmered with spicy sausages and tomato sauce. Recipes vary, (variations often determined by what was on hand) but this one is from my mother, who is from Missouri, says Ms. Profit:
1 cup dried black-eyed peas, chick peas, or white 'Navy' beans
4 cups of boiling water
3 medium onions, diced coarsely
1/2 pound each salt pork and spicy sausage, sliced into thumbnail sized cubes
I cup mixed rice and barley
Salt, pepper and hot cayenne sauce to taste
Optional: 1/2 cup molasses and 1 cup stewed tomatoes
Pour boiling water over the peas, let sit for I hour. Place on the stove on low heat or in the crock-pot/slow-cooker. Throw in onions, meat, rice, barley, tomatoes and molasses. Simmer until the beans have gone so soft they are falling apart, usually around 18-24 hours. Add hot sauce, salt, and pepper in the last half hour before serving.
Serve - immediately after every window and door in the place is opened (to let out any left-over bad luck) and a particularly "lucky" person walks over the threshold to set the tone of the luck for the New Year - with cornbread, honey, and wishes for each person's New Year luck.
Jeter wrote: In my family, no woman was allowed to enter our home on New Year's Day until a strange man had crossed the threshhold first. It was considered bad luck to have a woman come, so much so, that one year I was not allowed to come home until the 2nd of January. I always thought my Dad didn't want company on New Year's. I've since heard other variations but I always thought it was an African-American custom.
Shez, the "Old Craft" Lady wrote: In my country (Great Britain), it's called first footing. Dead coals are brought to the home on New Year's Eve by the first foot, who in tradition is supposed to be a tall dark man He is the first to step through the door at midnight on New Year's Eve, to bring luck to the house for the following year. The coal is kept by the woman of the house through the year and burned on the fire the next New Year's Eve The first foot gets a drink, a kiss, and food - not a bad return on a piece of coal. My family's first foot was always the local policeman. He first footed for most of our street, and by the time he got to ours, he was pretty merry.
ln different parts of the country different traditions arose on first footing, but coal always came into it somewhere, as did salt, and an awful lot of booze. Scotland and the North East of England are the only places now where you can see a traditional first foot ceremony. That's if you're still sober enough to see.
Among the peasants and rural people of Japan (Shintoists and Shinto-influenced Buddhists), it is the custom for the family to go to the local shrine on New Year's Day where the priest throws uncooked red beans on all the congregation, like rice at a wedding.
According to Catherine Yronwede on the internet cat@luckymojo.com her Japanese informant Miyako Graham, who was raised in a farming community in Japan, acted the ceremony out. There are other Japanese charms to ensure luck for the New Year, such as the Omomori amulet.
According to Doug English of Gold Stag Communications (denglish@iastate.edu) this is the best recipe for Ham Hocks and Black-Eyed Peas:
Ham Hocks and Black-Eyed Peas
1 pound of black eyed peas
1 yellow onion
2 bay leaves
Pepper
Salt
Water
A couple of hocks, fresh or smoked, you can boil to remove some of the salt before adding to pot if you like, I don't.
1 pound of frozen sliced okra
Soak peas overnight, and then put the peas, diced onion and hocks in a crock-pot and fill with water. Add a couple of bay leaves. Add some salt and pepper. I like to use a crock pot and cook for 6-8 hours or overnight.
When they have about 1.5 to 2 hours left add the okra and stir in. The okra is the thickening agent and the idea is that it should disintegrate, so use the sliced kind to speed the process. You can experiment with other spices if you want. I usually put a little hot sauce in mine. You must, however serve with corn bread. The hocks are great; eat skin and all. The juice that is leftover is called pot-liquor and is very good. Slices of fresh pepper and vinegar are also good to add at serving.
Black-eyed peas are also called Cow Peas. Originating in Asia, the black-eyed pea is thought to have been introduced to the United States through the African slave trade. This small kidney-shaped bean has a black circular ''eye" at its inner curve. It has a pea-like flavor with a firm, resilient texture (if not overcooked). A popular legume in the South, black-eyed peas are essential in the traditional dish Hoppin' John. When eaten on New Year's Day they are thought to bring good luck for the new year,
Selection: Choose beans that look dry, not slimy, and are not cracked or broken. Storage: Refrigerate up to I week. Uses & Preparation: No soaking necessary when fresh. Rinse beans thoroughly and cover with water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently until tender. Try cold in salads. Mix with hot rice and herbs. Add to soups or stews. Toss with butter or margarine and season to taste. They are available year-round.
New Years resolutions aren't technically in effect until after the New Years Eve revelry is past. But wouldn't it be great to get a head start on a healthy diet resolution without depriving yourself of those tempting treats that traditionally ring in the new year? Treat recipes from the American Institute for Cancer Research include creamy, rich cheese balls that can still be savored this holiday season if you make them with reduced-fat dairy products.
Cheese Balls
In a small bowl, beat 3 ounces of softened light cream cheese and 2 ounces of grated low-fat processed cheese. Stir in 1 cup finely shredded carrot, cover and chill at least one hour. Shape the carrot-cheese mixture into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in a mixture of 1/3 cup Grape Nuts-type cereal and 2 tablespoons finely snipped parsley, pressing the balls to coat evenly. Place the balls on serving trays, cover and chill up to I hour before serving.
Creamy dips and spreads are always a party hit but they can be loaded in fat. That's not the case with these great-tasting, lighter alternatives served with fresh veggies and low-fat crackers.
Classic Spinach Dip
For a classic spinach dip that won't add to your waistline, combine 1/2 cup plain, lowfat yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon prepared mustard, 2 drops Worcestershire sauce, I teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup cooked chopped spinach and a pinch of garlic powder.
Artichokes and Dip
For something really special, serve steamed artichokes with a dip made by whisking together I cup nonfat sour cream, the juice of I large lemon, 2 teaspoons curry powder and a pinch of sugar.
Pita Triangles
Instead of high-fat chips or crackers take advantage of low-fat alternatives like pita triangles. In a food processor combine 3/4 cup chopped fresh basil, I tablespoon olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper and a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese. Spread the mixture lightly on each of four 8-inch pitas. Cut each pita into 8 triangles. Place the triangles on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
Zucchini Puree and
Red Pepper Strips
Put a burst of color on your plate with zucchini puree on red pepper pieces. Thinly slice 6 medium zucchini and steam for 10 to 15 minutes, until quite tender. Drain and press out as much water as possible. In a bowl, use a fork to crush the zucchini and add the juice of 2 lemons, 6 minced or pressed garlic cloves, 1-1/2 teaspoon each ground caraway and coriander, 6 pinches of cayenne pepper and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Prepare wide strips from 6 to 8 red peppers and top each strip with a generous dollop of the puree.
When you crave something more substantial, try these turkey treats!
SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS
1 lb. ground turkey breast
1 egg
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 c. water
1 Tbs. dried onions
1 Tbs. green peppers, chopped
1/8 tsp. ground pepper
2 Tbs. catsup
1/2 c. brown sugar
3 Tbs. cornstarch
1 can pineapple chunks (20 oz.), juice reserved
6 Tbs. water
3 Tbs. vinegar
1 Tbs. soy sauce
1 green pepper, chopped
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine first eight ingredients (turkey through catsup) and mix well. Form the mix into meatballs and place in a lightly oiled 10 x 15 x 1-inch baking pan.
Combine brown sugar and cornstarch in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in pineapple juice, water, vinegar and soy sauce. Lightly simmer mixture for 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in green pepper and pineapple chunks and pour mixture into baking pan and over meatballs. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until meatballs are no longer pink in the center. Each of the six servings contains 276 calories and 2 grams of fat. The American Institute for Cancer Research is the only major cancer charity focusing exclusively on the link between diet, nutrition and cancer.
While not a recipe for food items the following may help for those who don't seem to know that toasting the new year can be done with non-alcoholic beverages.
Hangover Help
If you overindulge at a party and wake up with a hangover the next morning, try one of these remedies:
Eat some honey, which will supply fructose to help the body metabolize alcohol. Honey on a cracker or piece of toast before or after drinking alcohol may even prevent a hangover.
Drink fluids that contain minerals and salts to battle dehydration, such as bouillon.
