Danny Manuel was born in Ada, Oklahoma on February 12, 1974. When asked where he had been since, he replied, “If you put the point of a compass down at Valley View Regional Hospital and drew a circle with an eight mile radius; that would be enough to tell my story”. Danny has lived, gone to school, attended church and worked in this area all his life. I guess you could say he was “born and raised” right here in Ada. He was married to Janel in 1993 and they are now the proud parents of Grace and Blaise. Danny is a family man who also has a heart for adop-tion. He desires to get the word out to people about orphans and is passionate to help them find a lov-ing family. He needed a platform to use to help this cause and he has chosen American Ninja Warrior. Wait a second. You mean the TV show? Yes, indeed.

As a kid, Danny was enamored with American Gladi-ators. He always dreamed of one day taking hold of that joust and sending Nitro to the icy waters beneath the pedestal. Unfortunately, the show fizzled out, along with his dreams of defeating the mighty gladiators. In 2013 a new dream was born, and it was to compete on American Ninja Warrior. Danny was watching TV at the Ada Fire Department, where he has been employed since 1997, and the show was on. He watched for a little bit with the guys and then said, “I want to do that”. One of the guys thought he was kidding. He wasn’t. He sent in his application along with a video in the spring of 2013. He waited. The longer the wait, the more he felt like he was not going to be picked to compete in the qualifying round. Months went by and he did not receive notification that he would get to be a part of the competition. Danny didn’t give up though. He began training harder and when the new season came around, he put in another application. He was training mostly at home and at the fire station using only his body weight for resistance. He did lots of rock climbing, grip work,

pull ups on anything he could get a hold of, walking on barrels (kind of like the rodeo clowns do, minus the oversized pants and face paint), push ups, planks and even triathlon training. Amidst all the training, the phone call finally came. They told him to be at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas in three weeks to compete in the qualifying round. Danny explained the moment like this, “I wanted to shout from the rooftops!” His kids really believed in him and their encouragement made him stick through all the training to get to this point.

Danny showed up at the Cotton Bowl the night before to do interviews and back story information for the show. His group of competitors began to run the course on Monday night at 11:00pm. He grabbed a sleeping bag and some head-phones to zone out for awhile to avoid getting stressed out. Danny got to walk up to the platform at 5:30am for his chance to make it through the challenging obstacle course. He felt pretty good since he is a morning person and is used to starting his day at that time. As he stood on the platform before the buzzer went off for him to start, he just took in the moment. “It was a wow moment just be-ing there. It wasn’t like being at a baseball tournament at Matthews Park! There were lights and camera crews everywhere”, Danny described. The buzzer sound-ed and off he went. He made it past the tilting table and the rings. The next part was the dreaded warped wall. One, two, three tries later, he just fell inches short of the top. Danny said, “It was a sick feeling not making it to the top of that wall, but I was still grateful for the opportunity to compete”. When his kids watched the show on TV and saw their dad not make it up the wall, they cried. They were devastated. Little did they know, Danny would have another chance.

Although he did not make it up the warped wall, Danny still had a good time and was selected to move on to one of the city finals to compete again. This por-tion has not aired yet and Danny is not able to disclose anymore information at this time. When asked if he would do it again, he quickly replied, “Absolut-ley”! He is in training now and is more diligent than ever. “I compete with a purpose. I want to raise awareness for orphans and if I can do it by participat-ing in something like American Ninja Warrior, then that’s what I am going to do. Jesus suffered and died on a cross, so I am going to do this for something greater than myself. I will tough it out”. You may have seen Danny on the television lately and you may see him again soon. American Ninja Warrior is a show that you can watch with the whole family and it makes it even better to see someone on it that you know. Keep watching this season to support Danny and all the hard work that he has put into this. From an eight mile radius, to being on a nationally televised show, you never know where life may lead you.

HEARING AIDS • REPAIRS • BATTERIES

Today’s society is fast paced and as a result many children tend to be rushed, hurried, over stimulated, and are just worn out. Gone are the days of kids playing outside during summer break from morning until evening, catching fireflies until bedtime. Their time is scheduled and booked up with activities, every day—all day! So what’s wrong with that? I understand that working parents need activities for their children and they don’t want them to be bored, but children still need some quiet, free time to rest, explore, or just let their minds wander. Imagination allows them to create vivid images within their minds, build on prior experiences, lets them pretend, play, and just permit their little minds to rest.

Relaxation is also something everyone needs—even during the school day. Try this simple exercise (DEAR) Drop Everything and Re-lax! Even for just a few minutes. Breathe deeply, put your head back, lie on the floor, or just allow your mind to zone out for a few minutes. This exercise is beneficial for kids of all ages.

When the new school year begins let your kids have a little down time and a quick snack before afterschool activities and remember that after all they have done they are tired and need a full night’s rest.

Remember all of their basic needs must be met before the brain can focus on complex tasks and learning can take place.

We could all treat our bodies a little better, whether it is what we eat, how we exercise, or the products we use on a daily basis. Some people are intolerant to gluten, while oth-ers choose not to eat meat or products that come from ani-mals. Others prefer food and products that are natural and free of chemicals. Many people, while they would choose to engage in one of these lifestyles or choices, just think it is too hard to find the foods and products that they need. It isn’t as hard as one might think, though. Right here in Ada, at 1413 Arlington St., you can find all you need at DK Nu-trition Center. Just look for the red-roofed purple building with the giraffe peeking out from the top story.

Debbie K. Fleet has been in the nutrition business for 17 years now. Her business used to be in Arlington Center. She worked there for two years before purchasing it and then opened at her current location on April 1, 2013. She wanted to have more room to be able to add more services for her customers. The new project took three years though because she wanted it to be done right. She took her design choices to a new level when she painted her own house purple and added a red roof. She wanted to make sure that the color scheme worked before she did the same for her business. She had the giraffe, Guinevere, carved by a sculp-tor from Africa. Guinevere slept by Debbie’s bed for two and a half years before she was installed. She wanted the giraffe as a symbol of her dedication to her customers and her vision. As Debbie says, “I’m sticking my neck out.”

DK Nutrition Center has a vast array of products and service avail-able to customers. There is an extensive section of foods which include gluten-free, organic, and vegan selections. You can purchase gluten-free marshmallows called Dandies, gluten-free pastas and flours, coco-nut milk, rice milk, Annie’s Macaroni and Cheese, syrups, breads, milk free frozen treats, veggie burgers, and even gluten free hot dogs. And this is just a sampling of the food that she has to offer. She also has all the vitamins, supplements, herbs, and protein powders that you could need. They carry cleaning products, hair care products, moisturizers, laundry detergent, and soaps, all of which are better for you than the typical brands you would usually find.

The services don’t stop at groceries and dry goods, though. They also have the Yellow Dog Deli which boasts many nutritious meals and even has a drive-through for those on a time schedule. Some of the customer favorites include the Green Chili Chicken Wrap, the Avo-cado Delight, and the Chicken Quesadillas. You can have sandwiches or rollups, soup or salad. You can have meat or dairy-free cheese or gluten-free bread—whatever fits with your own lifestyle. They have fresh juices and smoothies—everything to sate your appetite in a good and healthy way.

In addition to all of the wonderful foods and products that they offer, you can take care of yourself in other ways. You can schedule an appointment for a pedicure or a massage by Laura Horning. They have an infrared sauna that penetrated into your core. Unlike other saunas that just make you sweat, this one heats you up an inch and a half into your body, helping with metabolism, join pain, and a host of other ail-ments. DK Nutrition Center also offers yoga, aerobics, and Zumba on a pay-as-you-go basis. No membership fees are required, just five dollars per session. While you are taking care of your body, you can also take care of your appearance, getting a stylish haircut from Lenzi Cupps, Rhonda Hughes, Angie Rhodes, Stacy Dyer, or Katy Perez. And Debbie will soon be adding two more salons to her already extensive services.

It’s so important to take care of ourselves. Let Debbie K. Fleet help you. Stop in to check out their wonderful assortment of foods and dry goods. Get fit working out with your friends. Let them pamper you. They are open 9:00-6:00 Monday through Friday and 9:00-5:30 on Saturdays. You can call the store at (580) 332-1130 or the deli at (580) 310-9879. You can also check them out on Facebook by liking DK’s Nutrition Center. Debbie’s favorite thing about her business is meeting the people and developing lifelong relationships with her customers. So just stop in and see how they can help you live a better life.
