Marquee lights illuminated downtown Ada December 18 to welcome renowned country music artist Neal
McCoy to the newly-remodeled McSwain Theatre.
Landing a country star like McCoy harkens back to Ada’s days as a “country Hollywood.”
“I remember when we used to see a lot of feature acts come through our city,” lifelong Ada resident and country music fan Joyce Watling said. “Moe Bandy, George Strait, Reba McEntire. It is good to see popular recording artists back in our hometown.”
The Neal McCoy show brought real, big-time country music entertainment back to Ada.
The Neal McCoy show theme at the McSwain was “Christmas Season.” McCoy opened the evening with a mix of holiday classics, followed by chart-topping singles
including “Wink,” “The Shake” and “I’m Your Biggest Fan.”
McCoy is no stranger to country music success. He first hit the Billboard country charts in 1988, and again in 1992 with “Where Forever Begins.”
His big breakthrough came in 1993 with back-to-back number one singles “No Doubt About It,” and “Wink.”
He has three platinum albums to his credit and eight top 10 hits.
Like many country singers, McCoy got his start singing in the church choir in his hometown of
Jacksonville, Texas. Influenced by the eclectic mix of music his parents enjoyed, he soon started his own Rhythm & Blues band.
He then made the switch to country music – and the rest is history!
“The song ‘I’m Your Biggest Fan’ is very inspirational for me,” McCoy said. “I’ve been on fourteen U.S.O. tours entertaining our
by Mindy Wood
“There’s not a bad seat in the house. I look
forward to returning to Ada and playing here.
The people here are my kind of people.”

soldiers. I’ve had the pleasure and honor of playing in Iraq seven times, Bosnia, Italy - all over the place. And on January 23 I’m going on another U.S.O. tour and it’s the highlight of my career.
“This was actually my second time to visit Ada. I played Blake Shelton’s “Raindance” fundraiser two years ago here in Ada. Being from a small town myself, I appreciate the friendliness and hospitality.
“This area reminds me a lot of growing up in Jacksonville, Texas. Good small town values and lots of outdoor activities including hunting and fishing.”
added Neal McCoy.McCoy said he enjoyed
the McSwain and looked forward to his return.
“This theatre adds an intimate setting with the balcony,” he said. “There’s not a bad seat
in the house. I look forward to returning to Ada and playing here. The people here are my kind of people.”
The newly-remodeled McSwain Theatre has once again put Ada on the map as a country and Western music and entertainment hub. The McSwain, which originally opened in 1920 as a movie and vaudeville house, was purchased and entirely refurbished by the Chickasaw Nation.
What has been created is an exciting, modern venue to attract country music and variety shows. The stage, audience seating and dressing rooms have all been remodeled and expanded. The McSwain now also boasts a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system that brings the 21st Century to Ada country entertainment.
An elevator and full accessibility are also hallmarks of the modern McSwain.

We have access to more information about our health now than any time in history. It seems like everyday there is a new miracle, a new cure for the things that ail us, another pill or potion that will make us feel better. Green tea is the “now” nutritional supplement. It has enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years, but is it worth all the hype? What ex-actly are the benefits and are they effective enough to consider? The Food and Drug Administration has not officially approved green tea or endorsed any of its properties, but believers swear by them.
One of the pros (or cons, depending on your side of the fence on the issue) of green tea is its caffeine content. The tea contains about have the caffeine as a regular cup of coffee. There are several schools of thought on caffeine’s effect on the body. It’s definitely a stimulant, and some choose to avoid it for that rea-son. Some dieters say going decaf helps them curb their sweet tooth. Others say the little caffeine boost helps rev them up for their workout.
Another unsubstantiated perk of this beverage is its ability to delay and sometimes alleviate the symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Al-zheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Most such diseases involve the build up of a certain kind of plaque in the brain, which restricts blood flow and leads to the nerve dam-age that is characteristic of such illnesses. In a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, the anti-oxidant EGCG has been shown to positively affect the amount of harmful beta-amyloid protein plaque in lab
mice. The animals that were treated with a daily injec-tion of EGCG exhibited a whopping 54 percent less of the harmful plaque than the animals that weren’t treated.
If green tea is what it takes to stave off such dread-ful diseases, why isn’t everyone drinking it? Simple, it’s just not enough. Other antioxidants found in the tea water down the effect of RGCG. In order to re-produce the same effect in humans that the lab mice experienced, the dose would have to be about 1,500 or 1,600 milligrams a day. The large amount has been tested on humans and found to be safe.
Advocates of green tea also say it contains ther-mogenetic qualities that speed up metabolism and help with weight loss. To get the maximum health benefits of green tea, you’d need to drink the concen-trated form of RGCG, which can also be found in veg-etables. People who make a point to consume foods that contain RGCG keep themselves detoxified. Do-ing so reduces their chances of developing cancer and other diseases.
Be aware that the health hype of green tea has aided its commercialism. Beverage brands have been quick to jump on the bandwagon and offer a pleth-ora of variations on the theme. Just because it says “green tea” on the label doesn’t mean it has all the nu-tritional benefits you’ve heard about. After process-ing, it might not even be good for you at all. Always read the nutritional information on the back of the label and be sure of what you’re consuming.
