8 hours atshortcakesa night in the diner that never sleeps

FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 2016 OCOLLY.COM

I didn’t need convincing.To sit in Shortcakes

Diner for a night writing about what happens is one of the best things for which I could get paid.

To me, Shortcakes is one of the greatest parts of Stillwa-ter, and being someone who’s there on a regular basis, it sounded like a great idea for a story.

Fellow staffer Hayden Bar-ber and I showed up Saturday night with barren stomachs and held on for the ride. Here’s the true story of a night at Shortcakes.

8 p.m. — The steak and the waffleI walked through the doors

of the red-roofed diner nestled between Walgreens and Sonic on Main Street and sat in a booth near the back.

Minutes later, Hayden ar-rived with a loaded backpack and sat across from me.

It was time.As our waitress came over to

take our drink order, Hayden told her what the plan was, and she didn’t seem to mind at all. She even mentioned some regulars who’ve stayed for five

hours straight some days.There’s a reason Shortcakes

doesn’t have music playing or Wi-Fi. It doesn’t need it to be an entertaining or memorable place.

We got our first meal. I had the chicken-fried steak,and Hayden had the waffle.

9 p.m. — Let’s talk politicsThe next hour revealed two

customers who represented some colorful types you see in Shortcakes.

The first, a ponytailed man

sat behind Hayden and I and spent an hour reading the Tul-sa World cover to cover. He then commenced to pull out a clipboard clasping a stack of crossword puzzles of days gone by. The man took out the new crossword from his paper and after maybe five different smoke breaks, finished it, paid his tab and left.

The other man sat at the bar wearing a 1990s era Dallas Cow-boys jacket and camo beanie.

Drinking a coffee, he listened to Snoop Dogg’s “The Next Episode” for a while before he started to talk about one of the many topics you hear in Shortcakes on any given night: politics. The man at the coun-ter was specifically interested in communism and spoke his mind.

Shortcakes is not biased in its shop talk as I’ve heard speak of Republicans, Demo-crats and now Communists on my trips there. One time, I even heard a group of elderly coffee drinkers talking about Hillary Clinton, in a good way. Only at Shortcakes could you hear white-haired old men in Oklahoma discussing political

strategy for a liberal to at-tain the White House.

10:30-midnight — The guy in the purple shirt

The next hour and a half passed by without much no-tice. Our waitress, Valerie, told Hayden and I we better move to the counter so we didn’t take up too much space whenever the bar crowd arrived. About that time, some O’Colly col-leagues stumbled through the door looking for action, adventure and, of course, damn good food.

As we sat up on the coun-ter, we got to

learn a little about the place and the crew. Depending on the night, the Shortcakes’ squad fluctuates in size, and Saturday night, it was five souls on the graveyard shift from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., but graveyard is a misnomer.

The only two workers names we know are: Valerie from Ft. Smith, Arkansas, and owner of 11 body piercings and three tattoos, and Christina, daughter of the establishment’s original owners.

Our cook, when asked his name, only had this to say:

“I’m the guy in the purple shirt. No name and please

no pictures.”As the clock struck

midnight, a man on Snapchat strongly recommended the patty melt and cheese tots. Hayden and I obliged him, and Valerie told us we had to try the made-from-scratch ranch dressing.

“It’s not the end-all, be-all of ranch dressings, but it’s pretty damn good,” she said.

When we got our food, Hayden and I argued over which was the best way

to eat the dressing. I smoth-ered the tots in it while Hayden preferred to dip it.

Each method had its benefits.

1-3 a.m. — The hipster and the cowboy

This is where Shortcakes goes from mythical place to legend.

Shortly after Hayden and I finished ranking the Star Wars movies, he lay in a booth to rest for a while. He soon had to vacate as head-lights filled the windows and many red-eyed patrons flocked into the undersized diner. One could say the Shortcakes light in the distance is a sort of attrac-tion to people getting done dancing to “New York, New York” at J.R. Murphy’s. It is the closest 24-hour eatery, discounting McDonald’s, to The Strip. One guy coming in said, “These prices are so reasonable, though.”

The bars might be where people meet, but Shortcakes is where they connect. In the two tables in the back, where 10 people crammed into the corner, sitting side-by-side was the ultimate hipster and the down-home country boy.

The hipster, with gages

in his ears and with his hair greased back, was crack-ing jokes with the country boy in cowboy boots and a plaid, button-down shirt.The pancakes brought them closer.

As I sat, I noticed that each table had its own spe-cial history. A table where a former basketball player sat on this night was the same table where a guy known as “The Wizard” sketches some mornings.

3-4 a.m. — The winning ticket

The crowd petered out, and as they got to the register to pay, their drunken minds were forced to recall what they ate.

One person paid for a ticket he found on the floor, assuming it was his.

Some of the regulars hugged the waitresses on their way out, saying they would see them again.

Nearing 4 a.m., the diner was empty again. As we walked out, the coffee drinkers started to appear, driving up in their old pick-up trucks. At Shortcakes, there is no down

time, only short breaks between different groups of people.

Drunken stupors. Cursing. Screaming. Storied Stillwater residents with crosswords and cowboy hats. Bizarre hair colors. Piercings, pony-tails and tattoos. Fraternity brothers, sorority sisters and

the best cheap food in Payne County.

Shortcakes Diner is the most interesting place I’ve ever stumbled upon.

When Jordan Bishop and I decided to spend eight straight hours at Stillwater’s driest bar, we knew we’d be in for a long, fascinating night.

We were right.I honestly recommend

this place for any occasion: a night after The Strip, a Christmas Day dinner or a nice family breakfast. Short-cakes is a 24-hour diner that’s motto tells it all.

The best food on a dime.

Served all the time.“We’re not five-star dining

or anything like that, obvious-ly,” Shortcakes waitress Val-erie Scott said. “You know, greasy spoon, mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall joint. What we do, we do really well.”

She couldn’t be more right. And it’s been the same way for decades.

Glenn and Gayla Higgins bought the hole-in-the-wall restaurant in 1984, and they passed the business down to their daughter Christina Patterson, who runs the gem today.

Patterson was 8 when her parents introduced her to the

restaurant. It’s all she’s ever known.

Minus a few minor tweaks, everything is the same. The food. The décor. The atmo-sphere. The service.

It’s not for the faint of heart, though. If you get eas-ily offended, Shortcakes isn’t for you. The employees are absolutely out of the box, and they know it. They speak with their clientele throughout the meal. They’ll curse with and at you, share social and politi-cal views with you, but most importantly, they’ll serve you the best tasting, affordable cuisine you’ll ever buy.

It’s awesome.

That’s not to say that you can’t make a bad decision, to be fair, so I’ll keep it real with you on what you should get. Jordan and I tried a couple of things, but the cheeseburger, patty melt, chicken-fried steak, cheese tots (with their homemade ranch) and the breakfast food are fantastic.

Breakfast is served 24/7 with no stipulations. T-shirts are for sale. Memories are aplenty.

Shortcakes is at 219 N. Main St. Go there. Go there tonight. Go there now.

Stillwa-ter Police arrested a Tryon man Jan. 16 in the Perkins Road Wal-Mart af-ter a shoplifting-in-progress call.

Chad Everett Roberts, 30, was arrested for petit lar-ceny, assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, resisting arrest, presenting another’s identification to mislead a police officer and possession of a controlled dangerous substance (meth-amphetamine).

Officers responded to the store just before 7:30 p.m. after employees reported Roberts had concealed items

inside his jacket, including a large bowie knife, accord-ing to a press release. Two officers contacted Roberts and could see tools under the man’s jacket.

Roberts reportedly tried to reach inside his jacket and officers tried to hold him still. As an officer removed a tool from Roberts’ pocket, the man tried to break free and run, according to a press release.

In the ensuing struggle as officers tried to arrest Roberts, he ended up on his stomach with officers on both sides trying to restrain his hands. With Roberts’ hands underneath him, he reportedly pulled out the bowie knife and tried to stab backward toward the officers, according to a press

release.Officers were able to re-

strain Roberts’ hands and or-dered him “numerous” times to drop the knife. He then reportedly refused to comply and officers weren’t able to take the knife away and still keep Roberts’ under control. After a fight, officers were able to take the knife away and used a Taser to incapaci-tate Roberts, according to a press release.

Neither officer was injured in the struggle, but Rob-erts had a small cut on his thumb. Roberts was taken to the Stillwater Medical Center emergency room for evaluation and treatment. Roberts was later transported to the Stillwater jail.

Oklahoma State students hoping to hear Leigh Anne Tuohy speak Thursday were blindsided.

OSU announced Thurs-day afternoon that Tuo-hy’s speech in Gallagher-Iba Arena was canceled because of inclement

weather in Memphis, Tennessee. Touhy is best known as the adoptive mother of NFL offensive lineman Michael Oher. Their relationship was the subject of the book and movie “The Blind Side.”

Touchy, who apologized to OSU over social media, was scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. Thursday in GIA. OSU Speakers Board announced Tuohy as the spring semester speaker in November.

Kyle Lake, OSU Speakers Board chair-man, said the board will try to reschedule Tuohy, but he didn’t know when

it would be because the board needs to coordinate with OSU Athletics.

“We have to check with both basketball teams as well as wrestling,” Lake said, “But if we find a date that works for all parties, then we would be interested in a reschedule. At this time we don’t have an estimate.”

Because Tuohy had to cancel, Speakers Board won’t have to pay Tuohy’s $35,000 speaking fee until she after speaks on cam-pus pending a reschedul-ing.

Thanks to a 2014 grant from the National Science Foundation, Dr. Estella Atekwana, geology department head, and Dr. Daniel Laó-Dávila, a geology professor, were able to take four students to Karonga, Malawi, to explore the East African Rift that extends for thousands of miles along the continent’s edge bounded by the Indian Ocean.

“People don’t know what rifts are,” Atekwana said. “There used to be one big continent, called Pangea; it’s because of rifts that the continents broke apart. Malawi has a young rift system and is the go-to place to study the entire rift process.”

The grant allowed the Boone Pickens School of Geology to create an

international program for its students, sending a total of 12 students in groups of four for the past three years. The trips allow the students to collect geological data and gain cultural experience outside of the university.

“The last thing I was expecting was a culture shock,” said Sam Dawson, a graduate student from Davidson, North Carolina. “Seeing what life was like in a developing country was eye opening. The people are so happy. I saw some kids playing with simple toys for hours on end.”

Some of the struggles the group had throughout the trip included living conditions and Internet connectivity. The hotel they stayed at cost $6 a night.

Dawson said sometimes he didn’t have a shower, and if he did, there was only cold water available. Other problems included the electricity going on and off and waiting days to get Internet connectivity.

Other students included undergraduates Tiara Johnson, from Midwest City; Bryan Clappe, from Chelsea; and Courtney

Hall, from Broken Arrow. Clappe has since enrolled in the graduate program. This international opportunity will help make the students more competitive for job opportunities after graduation, according to Atekwana.

“It was a win-win experience,” she said. “Students can do research from the beginning of a rift and learn a lot. They don’t just learn about the science, but what it takes to collect it, to learn new cultures, meet new people. Students need to be competitive in the global economy. This gives them the advantage because they’ve now been there and done that.”

In previous years, the geology department has led trips to Zambia and is looking into more places in the future,

including Uganda and Ethiopia. But Laó-Dávila says there are other places in the U.S. that can be explored as well.

But the trip wasn’t all work and no play. The group took trips to see different national parks in Malawi, including the Nyika National Park, a major tourist destination for the country. The group also toured the Cultural and Museum Center Karonga as well as going on safari rides.

“I woke up the next morning to see zebras out of my window,” Dawson said. “So that was pretty cool. I enjoyed getting to learn more about the geologic and cultural history at the museum as well. And there were so many beautiful sites to see.”

In the end, the experience was one that Atekwana believes changed the students’ lives. She said it showed them how people get by with a tenth of what Americans have and to learn how to get good scientific data from it.

The students reported on their trip at the American Geophysical Union’s 2015 Fall Meeting December 14-18, where 24,000 attendees met to present research and discover more about the latest happenings in their fields. For more about the Boone Pickens School of Geology, visit geology.okstate.edu.

The nation's first collegiate fire training school was built on the southeastern corner of campus in 1937. Funded by the federal government in cooperation with the city of Stillwater, it was called the "West Point of Fire Training." The Fire Service Training Station was dedicated Nov. 4, 1938, with an elaborate dedication service in the morning and an afternoon exhibition by a rescue drill team from Oklahoma City.

The Smith family created a legacy inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.

It’s Joe’s turn.Joe Smith watched his father,

John Smith, create a wrestling dynasty at Oklahoma State. Joe witnessed his father guide the Cowboys to four straight nation-al titles during his lifetime. He heard stories about his family members claiming 16 combined NCAA National Champion-ships as Pokes.

“That’s something to be really excited about,” Joe said. “I’m starting a new career, and this is just the beginning of it, so it’s really exciting.”

Joe made his collegiate debut after his redshirt was pulled

Jan. 15 against West Virginia. He handled 13th-ranked Dylan Cottrell 11-4. Two days later, he beat Pittsburgh’s Ronnie Garbinsky by the same score. After two varsity road bouts, Joe carries a perfect record and No. 7 ranking as a freshman.

Friday night, Joe will make his home debut against No. 4 Missouri.

“It’ll be a great day,” John said. “It’ll be a great day for not only him, but for, of course, his father and definitely his mother.”

GIA is home for Joe. He explored the hallways as a kid. He watched his father turn high school recruits into champions in the wrestling room. When he got older, he practiced with his future teammates. He antici-pated the moment of being a member of the OSU wrestling team.

The moment is here.“I got to watch those older

guys workout and have some-

body to look up to since I was a kid,” Joe said. “It’s different now. It’s really cool. I know that I’m right there where they were, so it’s really cool to think about. I’m really excited now that I’m in the room, and I’m starting for the team. You really feel like you’re a part of the team now because you’re benefitting to a NCAA championship hope-fully.”

Joe will take on Missouri’s Le’Roy Barnes in his home debut. The Smith family will flock GIA to witness Joe’s debut and see if the Cowboys can end Missouri’s 37-dual win streak.

OSU is the last team to beat the Tigers, defeating them on Feb. 7, 2014, in GIA. The

Cowboys have been a victim to Missouri’s win streak once since it started. OSU fell to the Tigers 22-10 last season on the road, but the Cowboys are 21-2 against Missouri in Stillwater.

“Coming in here, we’ve been known for our own streaks,” John said. “It should be some-thing that’s a little extra motiva-tion to perform at high level. You just hope you don’t need things to get yourself up. This is something that you would like to stop here at Gallagher-Iba Arena.”

Jawun Evans likes to trash talk.

If Evans makes one of those head-turning passes that he is prone to in Oklahoma State’s practice, he’ll be sure to let everyone know.

“Man, that was a good pass,” he’ll say.

It’s a far cry from the demure freshman who stepped on cam-pus in the summer. With each game, Evans seems to exude more confidence.

“He’s coming into his own,” forward Leyton Hammonds said. “… He’s going to be a really great player once it’s all said and done.”

If there’s anyone on the Cow-boys’ roster who has earned the right to do a little trash talking, it’s Evans.

The freshman is averaging 22.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists over his past four games. He also leads Big 12 freshmen in scoring and assists. His 42 points against Okla-homa set an OSU freshman record.

After Evans scored 22 points in the Cowboys’ 86-67 thrash-ing of No. 3 Kansas on Tues-day, students rushed the court. He reveled in the crowd, riding

atop the shoulders of some lucky few. His play that night – and lately – did not resemble that of a freshman, but a vet-eran playing the game for the 100th time in an OSU uniform.

“There’s not many guards in today’s game, period, that make right decisions as far as when to pass, when to score, things like that, and have a great feel and understanding of the game from the point guard position,” coach Travis Ford said.

“He has that as well as any point guard I’ve seen.”

As OSU (10-8 overall, 2-4 Big 12) travels to Manhat-tan, Kansas, this weekend to face Kansas State at 5 p.m. Saturday, it will look to push the pace. Evans will be at the forefront of that, Ford said.

“I really like the sound of that,” Evans said. “That means we can get the ball out and push more to these games. We’ve actually been doing that a lot these past few games. We’re just going to keep doing what we’ve been doing.”

The Cowboys hope that some aspects from Tuesday’s game carry into Saturday’s matchup.

But Ford doesn’t want his team to dwell too much on beating Kansas.

“You obviously don’t want to spend a lot of time talking about that game,” he said. “But you want your team to under-stand what made them success-ful. You’ve got to talk about that. But also you’ve got to make sure that they understand what’s next. Whether it’s the next opponent, whether it’s the next play, you’ve got to make sure you’re living in the present

and not the past.”K-State has struggled this

season in Big 12 play. Wesley Iwundu, who is averaging 12.7 points per contest, leads the Wildcats.

Ford said K-State (11-7, 1-5) is a better team than its record indicates.

“They’re still very physical defensively; they’re going to get after you,” Ford said. “Playing a little bit faster. They’re play-ing faster. They’re not afraid to fast break and take some quick shots and knock some shots down. (They’re) running a lot of plays now where it used to be mostly all motion.

“They’re running some quick-hitters at you and some different plays at you. What I’ve been most impressed about

is the chemistry of their team. They’re all trying to win and there’s no egos on their team, and they play very, very hard. Very hard.”

OSU is comfortable placing the ball in Evans’ hands. As he continues to score, teams base their game plans around him, which means more opportuni-ties for his teammates.

“Everyone knows he can facilitate the ball at an extreme rate, so him scoring the ball like he is now, it’s making it easier for other guys on the team to get open,” Hammonds said.

“… You can just cut back-door and Jawun’s going to find you.”

The Cowboys know they’re a better team because of that.

“I feel like it’s an honor just to play with a guy like that,” Hammonds said. “He’s a great basketball player and a great person. I’m blessed.”
