VOLUME 67 NUMBER 11 ALLEN, PONTOTOC COUNTY , OKLAHOMA 1 SECTION (USPS 543600) 50¢ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2013

Saturday, December 14th, will be a very busy day in Allen.

You can start your day with lunch, a Biscuit & Dumplin’ meal will be served from 11:00 to 2:00 that day at the Allen Masonic Lodge on West Broadway. You may also pickup the ribs and chicken ordered from the Citra Cemetery fundraiser at this time.

After enjoying a delicious lunch it won’t be a long wait until Santa arrives. The

Jolly Old Man will make an appearance downtown in the Memory Lane gazebo at 3:00 to visit with all the good girls and boys. Although it is never too cold for Santa, if the weather is bad (too cold or raining) he will entertain his visitors at the Masonic Lodge.

After visiting with the chil-dren up town, he will make a stop at Woodland Hills before heading back to the North Pole to finish up all the last minute requests and

maybe rest a little before his Christmas Eve trip around the world.

After Santa departs, Allen shoppers will gather to find out who the lucky winner of the new 42” LED television will be. Those who have “shopped at home” with Al-len Chamber members this season have been accumulat-ing tickets for the drawing. With the TV as the grand prize, several other gifts from local merchants will also be

awarded. You must be pres-ent to win

Also to be announced, just before the drawing, are the winners of the Christmas Lighting Contest. Judging was held this week, from December 10th thru 13th, and three prizes will be awarded.

The first place home will be awarded $100 in Allen bucks, second will receive $50, and the third place win-ner will get $25. Allen bucks may be redeemed at any Al-len Chamber of Commerce member’s business.

Filing closed for Seat 4 on the Allen Board of Educa-tion with three contenders having signed up for the po-sition. The three day open filing period was December 2nd thru 4th.

Refiling for the seat is the

incumbent, Chad Goodson. Challenging him are Bar-bara McPherson and Joe Bailey.

The election will be held Tuesday, February 11th. If no candidates receives a majority of the votes cast

(50+%), a run-off election will be held April 1st.

The last day to register to vote in the February 11th school election is January 17th. All district residents are urged to vote.

Allen First Baptist Church will welcome the Christmas season with their annual “Hanging of the Green” during this Sunday morning’s service, December 15th. Everyone is invited to come enjoy this beautiful, musical presentation of the meaning of Christmas.

The previously planned potluck meal has had to be postponed due to scheduling conflicts.

Sunday, December 22nd, has been designated for the church’s Children’s Program. As always, everyone is invited to attend and enjoy the performance.

This is the time of year I reminisce more than usual. While looking thru our files I found several items from December of 1934.

The first item is about the Atwood community from De-cember 1934.

—CC—Each year we receive many letters to Santa. I always en-

joy reading them. There is one that was written many years ago that is my favorite. It was written by a young girl named Bethany. Here is what she wrote . . .

Dear Santa,I would like to get things for my family but I have no money.

I was hoping that you can help me by getting them . . . and just put my name on them so they know I am thoughtful.

BethanyI am not for sure but there is a strong possibility that she

grew up to be a politician.—CC—

Speaking of Santa Claus . . .Again this year one of the most amazing things about Christmas is that its icon, Santa Claus, is still around. Yes, jolly St. Nick, Father Christmas, whatever you call him, is back for another season.

In this age of political correctness, it is a true wonder that Santa has not been slapped in irons, hauled to some re-education center and told to mend his ways. There is probably no other public figure that is more politically incorrect than Mr. Claus.

First, there is his figure. With everyone furiously counting calories or reaching for a bottle of the newest reducing pills, Santa just rolls along carrying a hundred or so extra pounds. You wouldn’t catch him next to a gym club.

Also, if he were anyone else, the Justice Department would be investigating. I can see the press release description now—“White separatist controls cult of male dwarfs at North Pole.”

Then the feminists would have their turn. They would berate St. Nick for not sharing his business enterprise responsibilities with Mrs. Claus. They would scream that she has been trapped by an ice ceiling for hundreds of years.

Of course the animal rights crowd would have a field day with Father Christmas. They would charge him with two counts. The first would be that he keeps a dozen reindeer that can fly—obviously an endangered species—trapped at the North Pole.

Second, he forces those reindeer to pull a sleigh, fully loaded with presents, around the world in one evening. That, the animal wackos would rail, is animal abuse.

Then the civil rights groups could get into the act. Santa has admitted that only those children who have been good dur-ing the year get presents on Christmas Eve. All the bad kids get nothing.

There are no exceptions for the social or economic status of the children or present quotas. Santa uses his own set of criteria to determine the “good” children, not a battery of experts to advise him in the matter.

To determine if the children are good or bad, Santa keeps tabs during the year. The civil rights groups would call that an invasion of privacy and unconstitutional.

Despite all the political incorrectness, St. Nick just keeps slugging on each year. Though he may be an overweight, sex-ist, bigot, cult leader that ignores animal rights, the kids still love him.

Maybe there is still hope for the younger generation. If they can still love Santa with all of his perceived political incor-rectness, they can see through all the other nonsense of the politically correct crowd.

Of course, all this feeling of good will toward Santa could fall through if he stopped leaving the presents under the tree.

—CC—My favorite story of the

Christmas season is the fol-Christmas season is the fol-Christmas season is the following . . .

A southern-gospel group arrived home from a singing tour and was called by the widow of a man in their church who had just passed away. The widow asked them to sing three of her husband’s favorite songs at the funeral: In The Garden, Amazing Grace, and Jingle Bells.

The group leader had mis-givings about singing Jingle Bells at a funeral, but when the widow insisted that her husband loved the song, he agreed to sing it but told her that they would be singing it “real slow.”

At the funeral service, the group sang all three songs, including Jingle Bells slowly and mournfully. Afterward, the widow thanked the group for singing and added; “Oh, I remember the name of the song my husband liked so much. It wasn’t Jingle Bells, It was When They Ring Those Golden Bells.”

by Cleo Emerson LeVallyMembers of the local American

Legion put out flags Saturday to commemorate that day 72 years ago when bombs were dropped in a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii by Japanese bombers. The thought came into my mind to ask, ‘Where were you when you heard the news that day?’ It then occurred to me that there are very few living today who were

alive on that day. I was eighteen years of age,

had just graduated from high school, and was on a date when I heard that news on the radio. We were spellbound when we heard it and kept listening to the radio for hours. I remember when then President Roosevelt came on the radio and announced that ‘This day will live in infamy’.

At graduation, I had received a

scholarship for books and tuition to attend college but did not have enough money to pay my room and board and was unable to get a job at any of the college towns to pay me enough to live away from home. There was no work for me in my hometown of Allen, so I had to leave home to get a job.

I got a job at a five and dime store. I worked six days a week for $1 per day. I rented a room in the town and my room and board was $5 each week. This left me $1 for personal items and to purchase clothes. I needed clothes to work in and found a store that would let

me put clothes in lay-a-way for 25 cents a week. So a $7 dress would take me 28 weeks or 7 months to pay out. There was not much left to use for the movies or any other recreation. That is an example as to how life was in 1941.

With the start of that war, living conditions changed immediately in the United States. We were just coming out of the Depression. Wages up to this time were very low, but war industries began immediately and jobs began to be plentiful. Airplanes and war ships began to be built. Industries all over the United States took

off, Tinker Field in Oklahoma City began to be a place where jobs were available. Students who had graduated from high school and did not have the resources to attend college were able to get good jobs.

When the war started, I left that job and attended a vocational school to learn a trade. After graduating, I got a job as a civil-ian employee in the Air Corps and went to work as a radio technician at Tinker Field in Oklahoma City at $3,400 annual salary. This was enough to pay room and board while I worked.

Another tidbit in the story of my life.

Narcisse Alexander passed into eternity on Thursday, December 5, 2013, at the age of 38 years in Ada, Oklahoma.

A few day ago, on Face Book, a controversial question was asked and several people commented in response. How-ever, without any comment, one person posted a quote straight from the Bible and he was severely criticized because (they said) he had “not spoken in love.” Can quoting God’s word not be acting in love? Isn’t it love to inform people of sin so they will not be lost? How can it be love to overlook someone’s disobedience to God and do nothing to prevent them from spending eternity in hell?

Do we not want to hear truth from God’s word? Have we become like Israel who did not want to hear God’s word and who said to her prophets, “do not prophesy to us right things; speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.” (Isa-iah 30:8-10) Do we also wish

to hear only “smooth” things from our preachers; not God’s commands; not our duty or the need to repent and change our ways? Would we not rather be told of things pleasing to us and that are suited to our desires?

Some of Israel’s prophets seemed to have listened to the people, never preaching God’s commands or calling for repentance. Instead, to please the people and for their own financial profit, they preached pleasing messages of peace with God. God said of these prophets, “From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.” (Jeremiah 6:13-14)

It seems these religious leaders of Israel deceived the people, telling them they enjoyed healthy “peace” with God when they needed serious spiritual amputation of sin to be healed. Loved ones, Please, Please! Let’s hear and obey God even though He demands that we repent and change our ways!

Allen and Roff will square off in a 8:30 p.m. game at Calvin High School.

The winner of Wednesday’s late showdown will advance to Satur-day night’s 7:30 p.m. tournament championship finals. Meanwhile, the Allen vs Roff loser will slip to the third-place game at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday at Calvin.

“Roff will be quite a challenge,” said Allen coach Greg Mills. “They are s top seed for a reason. They are very athletic and have a lot of height and speed. We’ll have to play our style of basket-ball and control the tempo to have a chance to win this one.”

Both teams are coming off

first-round wins in the conference tournament. For Allen, the fourth-seeded Mustangs outlasted the fifth-seeded Vanoss Wolves.

“We had a good team effort from everyone that played,” Coach Mills said. “I’ll expect more of that down the road.”

Allen built a 6-point lead go-ing into the halftime break. The Mustangs then matched Vanoss point for point in the second half to escape with a 43-37 victory.

Tommy Peay led the Mustangs with a game-high 18 points. Joseph Hopper was also a force in the win with 15 points and 14 rebounds.

Zayne Erickson was limited to 3 points, but snared 10 rebounds in a winning cause.

Dakota Nickell also scored 3 points while Drew Back and Ty Brown rounded out the list with 2 points each.

Allen and Roff were eager to move on to their semi-final meet-ing on Thursday. However, a win-ter snow and ice storm blanketed the region - forcing officials to suspend the tournament. It was rescheduled for this week, with some games slated for Wednesday and the remaining action to follow on Saturday.

Coach Mills is not entirely sure how his Mustangs will perform on Wednesday night.

“We have not been back in the gym since last Wednesday,” he said. “We have not tried to have a practice. You can’t take a chance on a kid getting hurt trying to get to practice in this weather. We are hoping to practice before the game on Wednesday night. At the same time, we are all in the same boat. We may have to go out there Wednesday and see what we can do.”

If there is little or no practice time, what does the veteran coach believe will happen in the game

with Roff.“I guess the team that gets the

rust off first will have the best chance,” he said. “Whoever comes in and hit shots will prob-ably win the game. We hope we can do that on Wednesday night.”

The other two teams in the winners’ bracket semi-finals are the Tupelo Tigers and the Asher Indians. Allen will face one of those two teams. Coach Mills is hoping to play Tupelo or Asher in the championship game.

“We finished third (in the tour-nament) last year,” he said. “We beat Roff after losing to Stonewall in the semi-finals. W’d like to get to the finals and see what we can do.”

The Allen High School girls were set to emerge Wednesday from a prolonged basketball vacation to play three games during a four-day span.

“We are going to play on Wednesday, Friday and Sat-urday,” Coach Jeremy Strong said. “We have not been in the gym for a while, but we’ll get some time in there this week.”

On Wednesday, Allen is set to face the top-seeded Asher Lady Indians in one semi-final game of the Pontotoc Confer-ence Tournament. The other semi-final game at Calvin High School will be a meeting be-tween Vanoss and Roff.

“The two winners will play for the tournament champion-ship on Saturday,” the Lady Mustang coach said. “The two losers on Wednesday will play for third place on Saturday. We finished in fourth place last year and are hoping to do a little better this season.”

Coach Strong knows his AHS girls will face a major challenge with Asher.

“They are a very good team,” he warns. “Their post player is really good too. She is tall and strong. For us to be in this thing we’ll have to play fundamental basketball, be strong on de-fense, block out and crash the boards. We have to just go out and do what we do and see if that’s good enough to win the game. I don’t know what will happen in the tournament but I kind of like where we are with everything this year. We are still young, but the girls are a lot more mature and growing up as a team. We just need to keep working hard and getting better.”

On Friday, Allen will jump back into the regular-season schedule.

“We will play New Lima at home on Friday,’ Coach Strong said. “After that, we will go back to Calvin Saturday to finish up the tournament. I’m hoping for a strong finish.”

Last Tuesday, Allen opened the tournament with a 45-41

first-round victory over the Stonewall Lady Longhorns.

Allen raced away to a 28-18 halftime lead en route to the tight 45-41 win.

Charlea Leonard erupted for a game-high 21 points. Leon-ard also hauled down a team-best 8 rebounds.

Hannah Heck followed with 8 points and Kennedy Prentice chipped in 7. Miranda Raney scored 5 points in the narrow win. Alison Sells rounded out the scoring with 4 points.

“We came out real strong in the first half,” the Allen coach said. “We did a good job of taking care of the ball and running our offense. But I give credit to the Stonewall coach for making some defensive adjustments at halftime. They did a good job against us and came to within four points of catching us at the end.”

The one thing that “worried me the most” was a cold 8-for-23 effort at the free throw line. The Lady Mustangs managed only two free throws in the second half.

“We have to do a better job on our foul shooting opportuni-ties,” Coach Strong said. “That is something we can work on to improve.”

tion (N.A.I.L.E.), held Novem-ber 20 in Louisville, Kentucky. Connors won the swine contest with a score of 1434, earned fourth in the reasons division,

ninth in cattle and tenth in sheep, while placing eighth overall and falling short of the champion team by a mere 69 points.

“We were happy with the im-provement our team members showed since the last contest,” said Chase Reed, assistant live-stock judging coach. “Our final placing in the contest is really deceptive relative to how close we actually were … definitely within striking distance.”

“It was great seeing the team members’ hard work come to fruition; and although our final rankings may not have been our ultimate goal, we showed signs of a championship team in many aspects,” said Blake Nelson, head judging coach. “We are very excited and will carry this momentum through our practices in preparation for Denver.”

Coached by Nelson and Reed, sophomore team members in-clude: Kaitlin Pritchett, King-fisher; Dirk Murphy, Kiowa, Colorado; and Michael Buckley, Collins, Mississippi; Whit-ney Andras, Checotah; Zakary Laubach, Woodward; Tucker Malotte, Pryor; Kaitlyn Mer-riman, Allen; Kolton Moore, Cave City, Arkansas; Megan Skiles, Bowie, Arizona; and Bryson Williams, Earth, Texas.
