The Allen High School has implemented a new program to honor two students per month, one boy and one girl, as Mustangs of the Month. Assisting them with this en-deavor is the Allen Chamber of Commerce.

Each month the selected students will be presented

a plaque from the Chamber and receive a cash award in “Allen Bucks” from a lo-cal chamber member. The money may be spent at Allen businesses that are members of the Chamber.

In addition to their photo and bio in The Advocate, their picture will also be on display

at the Farmers State Bank and the Allen Food Center.

Selected to receive the hon-or for September 2013 are Emilee Costner and Patrick Leonard. They were honored

by Chamber president Eric Pierce, owner of the Allen Food Center.

Emilee is a senior, the daughter of Tim and Lesli Costner. Her favorite subject

is FACS because, she says, “It provides me with valuable life skills that will assist me throughout my lifetime.”

Those of us that have had a colonoscopy can appreciate the following, written by Dave Barry . . .

I called my friend Andy Sable, a gastroenterologist, to make an appointment for a colonoscopy. A few days later, in his office, Andy showed me a color diagram of the colon, a lengthy organ that appears to go all over the place, at one point passing briefly through Minneapolis . . . Then Andy explained the colonoscopy procedure to me in a thorough, reassuring and patient manner. I nodded thoughtfully, but I didn’t really hear anything he said, because my brain was shrieking, ‘HE’S GOING TO STICK A TUBE 17,000 FEET UP YOUR BEHIND!’

I left Andy’s office with some written instructions, and a pre-scription for a product called ‘MoviPrep,’ which comes in a box large enough to hold a microwave oven. I will discuss MoviPrep in detail later; for now suffice it to say that we must never allow it to fall into the hands of America ‘s enemies.

I spent the next several days productively sitting around being nervous. Then, on the day before my colonoscopy, I began my preparation. In accordance with my instructions, I didn’t eat any solid food that day; all I had was chicken broth, which is basically water, only with less flavor.

Then, in the evening, I took the MoviPrep. You mix two pack-ets of powder together in a one-liter plastic jug, then you fill it with lukewarm water. (For those unfamiliar with the metric system, a liter is about 32 gallons). Then you have to drink the whole jug. This takes about an hour, because MoviPrep tastes - and here I am being kind - like a mixture of goat spit and urinal cleanser, with just a hint of lemon.

The instructions for MoviPrep, clearly written by somebody with a great sense of humor, state that after you drink it, ‘a loose, watery bowel movement may result.’ This is kind of like saying that after you jump off your roof, you may experience contact with the ground.

MoviPrep is a nuclear laxative. I don’t want to be too graphic here, but have you ever seen a space-shuttle launch? This is pretty much the MoviPrep experience, with you as the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You spend several hours pretty much confined to the bathroom, spurting violently. You eliminate everything. And then, when you figure you must be totally empty, you have to drink another liter of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I can tell, your bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you have not even eaten yet.

After an action-packed evening, I finally got to sleep. The next morning my wife drove me to the clinic. I was very nervous. Not only was I worried about the procedure, but I had been ex-periencing occasional return bouts of MoviPrep spurtage. I was thinking, ‘What if I spurt on Andy?’ How do you apologize to a friend for something like that? Flowers would not be enough.

At the clinic I had to sign many forms acknowledging that I understood and totally agreed with whatever the heck the forms said. Then they led me to a room full of other colonoscopy people, where I went inside a little curtained space and took off my clothes and put on one of those hospital garments designed by sadist perverts, the kind that, when you put it on, makes you feel even more naked than when you are actually naked.

Then a nurse named Eddie put a little needle in a vein in my left hand. Ordinarily I would have fainted, but Eddie was very good, and I was already lying down. Eddie also told me that some people put vodka in their MoviPrep. At first I was ticked off that I hadn’t thought of this, but then I pondered what would happen if you got yourself too tipsy to make it to the bathroom, so you were staggering around in full Fire Hose Mode. You would have no choice but to burn your house.

When everything was ready, Eddie wheeled me into the procedure room, where Andy was waiting with a nurse and an anesthesiologist. I did not see the 17,000-foot tube, but I knew Andy had it hidden around there somewhere…I was seriously nervous at this point.

Andy had me roll over on my left side, and the anesthesiologist began hooking something up to the needle in my hand. There was music playing in the room, and I realized that the song was ‘Dancing Queen’ by ABBA. I remarked to Andy that, of all the songs that could be playing during this particular procedure,

‘Dancing Queen’ had to be the least appropriate.

‘You want me to turn it up?’ said Andy, from somewhere behind me. ‘Ha ha,’ I said. And then it was time, the mo-ment I had been dreading for more than a decade. If you are squeamish, prepare yourself, because I am going to tell you, in explicit detail, exactly what it was like.

as the Oklahoma FCCLA vice president of membership and has been a two-time National FCCLA STAR Event gold medalist, all while maintain-ing a 4.0 grade point average. She enjoys attending FCCLA events, public speaking and spending time with friends and family. Emilee’s future plans are to attend UCO and obtain a degree in Interna-tional Business.

In her nomination, her teacher said, “I would like to nominate Emilee Costner for

Lady Mustang of the Month because of the great job she has done representing our school. Emilee is the first person from Allen to ever be elected to serve as a state FCCLA officer. In this role she serves Oklahoma’s over 13,000 members. She spent almost every week of this summer traveling throughout Oklahoma representing FC-CLA and our school. She has worked very hard to always be prepared and professional and has really shown the qual-ity of students that we have here at Allen. I think she is

very deserving of this honor and would be a great choice for our first student of the month!”

Patrick Leonard is a junior at Allen High; he is the son of Kelly and Robert Cooper, Allen, and Kregg Leonard, Ada. His favorite subject is Powerlifting/Football and says it helps keep him healthy and fit.

Patrick has overcome his own personal goals and strives to be a mentor for his brothers and sisters. He believes in living life to the fullest. He likes playing video games

and learning more about mechanics. His future plans are to learn auto and aviation mechanics and to, one day, learn to fly a plane.

His nominating teacher wrote, “Mr. Leonard shows an enthusiasm for each sub-ject matter, as well as extra curricular activities such as athletics or FCCLA. Mr. Leonard addresses teachers as ‘yes, sir’, ‘no, sir’ or ‘yes, ma’am’ or ‘no, ma’am.’

“When practice ends, Mr.

Leonard works a the Allen Food Center. Although he is paid to do a job, he does this job well. Mr. Leonard comes into contact with most patrons of the Allen commu-nity, by way of sacking and carrying their groceries. I’ve heard many members of the community speak highly of Mr. Leonard. He is a great representative of our school and, in my opinion, deserves Mustang of the Month.”

ABBA was yelling ‘Dancing Queen, feel the beat of the tambourine,’ and the next mo-ment, I was back in the other room, waking up in a very mel-low mood. Andy was looking down at me and asking me how I felt. I felt excellent. I felt even more excellent when Andy told me that IT was all over, and that my colon had passed with flying colors. I have never been prouder of an internal organ.

few other “experiences.”A Sampling of Other Com-

mon Procedures INJECTIONS: A medica-

tion is shot into your body by means of a needle jabbed into a vein or muscle. The technique is similar to Native American spear fishing or Haitian voo-doo, depending upon the skill of the nurse.

The idea for this came from a now-extinct civilization whose members are believed to have all bled to death.

Emilee and Patrick Presented Awards

INTRAVENOUS TUBES (IVs): Turkey-trussing needles attached to refrigerator tubing are thrust into nerve-rich areas, such as the top of the hand, and left for extended periods. This procedure is performed by people whose hobbies include pithing frogs with letter open-ers.

TRACTION: Various limbs are attached to weights and pulleys until you confess to being a witch or a heretic.

CRYOTHERAPY. Ice is applied to painful areas, caus-ing skin to become painfully cold, thereby drawing attention away from Actual Pain.

HYDROTHERAPY: This is the medical term for a nice hot bath. But they can’t call it that because they can’t charge you 4175 for a nice hot bath. Since it often feels good (a violation of hospital policy), hydro-therapy is often coupled with freezing room temperatures.

WOUND IRRIGATION AND DRESSING CHANG-ES. Wounds and incisions are

cleaned with substances that torture bacteria to death. Un-fortunately, bacteria are very tiny, so they’ll have to get this substance on you as well.

This will be done with the same gentle delicacy employed in tile-grout removal.

Where or when did the practice of tipping for service come into being? The diction-ary gives no explanation of this but does have a lot of defi nitions of tip.

My history in the work place, drawing a salary spans sixty-four years and in only one job did I receive tips. That was during World War II when I lived in Charleston, South Carolina and as an Army wife worked on an Army Base at a concession stand selling candy, soft drinks, etc. I would get a small tip occasionally such as a coke or a candy bar, however, I don’t remember getting money as a tip. The service men I served had very

little extra money and the tips I received were just small re-wards, I think it was just for being friendly.

In Oklahoma in most restau-rants, the salary for a waiter or waitress is very minimal and the rest of their salary comes in the form of a tip. In Europe, the tip is added to the bill and the bill is then rounded off to zero or five dollars. For instance, if you enjoyed the service and if the bill was $32, you would pay $35. If the bill was $37, you would pay $40. This was called rounding off the bill. I forget the expression they used for this practice. It was something like Over the Table cost. It would be for

their drink or beer money.In the State of Virginia, the

salary for a waiter is $2.13 per hour. The waiter pays the owner ½ the cost for the food. In other words, they buy the food from the owner and serve it. The difference they keep is their pay.

In Washington, D. C., Phyl-ece tips the one who sham-poos her hair $5. Then she will get a hair cut, color, set, and maybe a wax on her eye-brows for a cost of $140 for that service. Tip for the hair dresser is extra. On my last trip to D. C. she had made an appointment for both of us at her beauty shop to get our hair done. I declined the appoint-ment for myself and looked at

magazines while I waited for her. I was familiar with the cost she paid for getting her hair done and I backed off. My shampoo during a shower worked fi ne, also the hair roll-ers I took with me were used during my visit there.

In small towns in America, tipping is not the usual. I do

know the waiters, beauty operators, etc., expect it, but since we do not have hotels, taxi cabs, etc. here, we do not see it much.

I like the small town Ameri-can way of life.

By the time you reach my age you know what’s important in life and what ain’t. Things like having God in your life, good health and family come to mind. Most of us think we have the other things in some sort of order too—things such as new cars, a good home and social position in the commu-nity. Americans worry some about national security, the debt limits, Obama, global warming and Chinese domi-nance but not necessarily in that order. I discovered sev-eral years ago that Americans worry about something else too—something that is much more important yet seldom dis-cussed. Take it away and you have trouble—big trouble.

About 30 years ago America had a toilet paper shortage and it hit the same time we were having a big sale down at the drug store—and among the leaders was Delsey toilet paper. Knowing that toilet paper was

always a “hot” item on mail-ers I had stocked enough (so it seemed) to take care of the needs of all of Oklahoma, parts of Arkansas and most of North Texas. A national news story proclaiming that there was a looming shortage of the com-modity at the same time the circulars hit the mail caused a minor panic and major run on my Delsey. My supplies were promptly “wiped” out.

I had never realized that—not only having adequate sup-plies of this precious com-modity was so important but having “futures” stacked in your garages and out build-ings was equated with having canned goods and water in a bomb shelter. As it turned out months later the USA had plenty of tissue after all and with everyone in America now holding a year’s supply of the

stuff stock-exchange prices of paper companies went into the toilet.

Fast forward to the present. While the threat of a toilet pa-per shortage only caused the good old USA to simply step up production a bit, regulated economies such as communist nations have some serious problems in these areas and nothing (you may know by now) is more important to the common man than toilet paper hanging on the spool and ready for use.

For some reason communist nations have a hard time keep-ing this precious paper on the roller. I contend that it wasn’t Reagan that brought down the collapse of the Russian economy and ultimately that nation—it was a toilet paper shortage that communism couldn’t deal with. A strong

army intervention saved Red China when their rolls ran low and now it’s Venezuela and their romance with commu-nism facing the unimaginable specter of staring at an empty spool next to the stool.

Now the main toilet paper factory in Venezuela is down. Manpa Inc. the factory mak-ing the precious commodity was ordered to be taken over by Maduro’s troops last week. Communist leaders in Venezu-ela blame capitalistic greed and American trickery for the national tragedy and the fac-tory is now occupied by the Army. Financial experts say that the businesses’ inability to make toilet paper is a result of a shortage of hard currency under the exchange controls put in by President Nicolas

Maduro and his predecessor Hugo Chavez. Venezuela is unable to import raw materi-als and machinery due to this money shortfall. It seems Chavez spent all their money on jet fi ghter planes and bul-lets.

Residents in Miami are brac-ing for the expected infl ux of refugees from Venezuela—not in search of freedom this time, but in search of—well you know what. I understand why immigration offi cials have refrained from patting them down.

Have a good weekend here in Allen and thank goodness we have plenty of toilet paper. We have enough troubles as it is. Be sure and go to church Sunday.

Wayne Bullard, DPhwaynebullard@sbcglobal.net

He told the preacher that he was ready to embrace the gospel, but there was a fi nal obstacle stopping him from becoming a Christian. He then said to the preacher, “You’ve said that if we do not believe in Christ, we are lost and condemned.” He continued, “I’m sorry, but I just cannot buy that.” Then he explained, “I work with some fi ne people who are Muslim, Jewish or agnostic and I cannot believe

they are going to hell just because they don’t believe in Jesus.”

Must we believe that Jesus is the Son of God in order to be saved or can we be saved by practicing some other reli-gion? Let’s let Jesus answer that question. He said, “I am from above” and, “I am not of this world.” (John 8:23) He added, “…if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” (John 8:24) Jesus also said that people will be condemned because they do “not believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”(John 3:18)

Again, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father ex-cept through Me.” (John 14:6) Christianity is very narrow because the truth is narrow. Jesus is the way, there are not many ways to God. Jesus is the truth, there are not many truths.

Jesus is the life. There is only one sources of life and Jesus Christ is that source. There are not many Gods; nor are there many ways to please God. In prayer to the Father, Jesus said, “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” (John 17:3)

The Apostle Paul wrote, “There is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all.” (1 Tim 2:5) Only Jesus can save us. Only Jesus died as a sacrifi ce for our sins. Only Jesus arose from the dead. Only Jesus has ascended back into heaven where He is seated at the right hand of God. And, Only Jesus lives eternally in heaven, where He is making intercession for us before God. (Hebrews 7:25) Yes, we must believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God or we will be lost!

It is good to be back again from visiting family in my hometown. We attended what I still think of as my “home church,” while I was there, and though many of the faces have changed the Spirit of the

church continues. Actually, since family physical features often continue from generation to generation, often it wasn’t the faces that had changed so much as it was the names that went with those faces.

We were so sorry to learn about Matt McCarn’s death and are praying for his fam-ily and friends. It is hard to understand the passing of a young person. I read once that sometimes faith is waiting until we get to heaven to learn the answers to questions about things like this.

Please be in prayer for the See You at the Pole meetings at area schools on September 25th. Another thing we prob-ably won’t know this side of heaven is the positive effect of such meetings and the prayers we’ve said for them.

James Hammonds, accom-panied by Tom Spillman and Wyatt Deaton, sang “Because He Lives” as the special music selection this Sunday. If you want to boggle your mind try thinking of what the world would be like, particularly America, if Jesus had not been resurrected after the crucifix-

ion. I’m sure you will agree that the resurrection has made all the difference, not only in millions of individual lives, but in the history of mankind.

Rev. Karch’s message, titled “The True Gospel” was based on Galatians 1:6-17 and I Cor-inthians 2:1-5.

Paul was amazed to hear that the Galatians were turning away from the gospel mes-sage he had shared with them. Evidently others who taught at the church after he left had perverted the gospel by mak-ing their own changes in the word of God. Paul assured the Galatian church that he had received the gospel in a vision from Jesus Himself, not from anyone else’s teaching on the subject.

Trying to please God might cause controversy among men, but trying to please men had led Paul into persecuting Chris-tians at one time. He learned the hard way that religious zeal is not enough when one is zeal-ous about the wrong religion. After his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, Paul had no doubt about which is the true gospel message.

In his letter to the Corinthi-ans Paul said that he had not preached to them in a way that impressed them with his eloquence. In fact it was with fear and trembling that he sim-ply told them what he knew to be the truth about Jesus. Few of us feel that we’re eloquent speakers either but, like Paul, we can share what we know about Jesus--with fear and trembling if that is what it

takes. God’s power can do all

things. Have faith in God’s power as you share the truth--that Jesus is the Son of God; that He died on the cross for our sins; and that He was res-urrected on the 3rd day so that we can live forever with Him in heaven.

Paul won many, many people to salvation in Christ with this message. We can too.

Allen FFA officers attended the COLT Conference August 27th in McAlester. Pictured are (standing) advisor Tyler Spencer, sentinel Alison Sells, secretary Jessica Merriman, vice president Meagan Beavert, reporter Salvador Martinez, treasurer Tanner Jarrett; and (seated) southeast district vice president Desiree Masterson, Spiro, Allen chapter president Britten Wallace, and Steven Vekony, Byng, state FFA president.

Officers of the Allen FFA chapter participated in the

2013 Oklahoma FFA Chapter Officer Leadership Training

Conference on August 27th at the Southeast Expo Center in

McAlester. The eight state FFA officers

planned and conducted this year’s conference based on the theme, “Multiply…Your Numbers, Your Involvement, Your Success.” Elected of-ficers from each of the 78 high school FFA chapters in the southeast district attended leadership training designed to equip them with exciting tools for membership recruitment and retention.

Rhett Laubach, Arcadia, was the keynote speaker for the conference. Laubach, state FFA president in 1992-93, is a professional motivational speaker and leadership coach.

“We have nearly 25,000 FFA members in Oklahoma,” said Steve Vekony, state FFA presi-dent. “That’s great. However, I wish we could say we have 25,000 active members. That should be our goal.”

The FFA is an integral part of the agricultural education division of the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education. There are 24,598 Oklahoma FFA members in 352 high schools statewide.

Allen FFA Participates in COLT Conference

To the Citizens of Allen,It is with both sadness and

high expectations I write this letter to you. I have taken a job locally that will allow me to better provide for my children and give me time with them.

I want to first thank you for having allowed me to be a part of your lives. I have came to know many of you not only as your Police Chief but as a friend. I’ve tried helped some of you with hard and difficult times and have been lucky to share in births, weddings and the good times with you as

well. I have watched children grow into young adults and seen them graduate. I have watched the children through my office window as they play on the playground. I’ve seen these young men and women progress with sports and seen some pretty impressive ath-letes. I’ve heard the coaches yell at players and seen the look of horror on teachers faces when I explained what my duty would be in the event of an active shooter. I have seen my own children grow and develop under the guid-

ance of the many wonderful teachers here. I’ve arrested people and then been the ad-vocate for them later when they were the victim. In the time I have served you I have always tried to be fair and hope in some way I have been able to touch just one life here on a positive note.

I would just have this general advice for everyone;

Be honest and treat people right. Love your family and never forget to tell and show them how you feel. Remember that everyone has conflicts and

things in their life that they deal with and you don’t know what they are going through so don’t be judgmental and don’t assume anything. When you deal with people always remember there are two sides to every story, get them both before you jump to conclu-sions. If you see someone in trouble help them. In general just do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do.

To the young people still in school:

You are not invincible, you’re not bullet proof, and you don’t

know everything. You are in a place where you

develop your integrity, where you start becoming a real adult and setting the course for the rest of your life. Do the right thing. Don’t allow others to talk you into something you know is wrong. Don’t talk oth-ers into something you know is wrong. Stand up for what’s right. I can promise you that in 20 years from now you may remember the awesome party you had by the scars on your body, the tombstones of your friends, or the children born you never planned on. Alcohol and drugs are not the right way to have fun or cope with things. When the hangover wears off you still have the problem to face and now you feel like crap, too. Watch out for your friends, when I was a teen (yes, I know I’m old but I didn’t ride dinosaurs, lol) we looked out for each other but now shows like Jackass make ya’ll do stu-pid stuff like shave your friend, get them drunk and leave them, or even worse.

Young men, treat your girl-friend with dignity and re-spect. Young girls, treat your boyfriends the same way. You both have to hold your heads up and demand to be treated this way…you girls aren’t hotties to be used and thrown away; guys, you’re not to be used either. Be respectful to your parents and elders. If you see someone who needs help or seems to be having trouble, lend a hand help them out. Girls and guys, stand up for each other when you see an injustice being done. You are the future, you determine the path for yourself so quit whining and set yourself up to stay out of trouble and be the one people know they can count on.

Thanks for reading. There will be one last post as your Chief.

THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, SEPTEMBER 26, 2013-PAGE 8

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen Mustangs face a solid test this week in District B-2 action. Coach Kenny Deaton’s squad will host Mar-low Friday to battle the Cen-tral High Bronchos in league play.

Central High is a perfect 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the district. Most experts figure the Bron-chos are the third best team in B-2. Alex and Fox are the only squads expected to finish ahead of Central in the league’s final standing.

That’s where Allen comes into the picture. The Mustangs certainly respect the Central Bronchos. At the same time, Coach Deaton’s club will not concede anything to the team from Marlow.

“We’ll try to play our best game,” said Coach Deaton. “We are tied for first place right now in the district. If we can find a way to win on Friday we’ll be in a much better situ-ation. We continue to control our own destiny as long as we keep winning our district games.”

Allen will need an incred-ible defensive performance on Friday.

“Central is very big up front and they have a very good running back,” Coach Deaton said. “This kid, No. 3, is both big and fast. He will be the best back we’ve seen since (We-tumka’s) Chase Williams. He is going to be a big load to get on the ground. We have to be great tacklers and also be real physical with them. If we can slow him down some, I think we’ll have a great chance to win the game.”

Last week, Allen put an impressive 46-12 beat-down on the Oklahoma Christian Academy Eagles. The 34-point victory improved the Mus-tangs to 2-1 overall and more importantly 2-0 in the district standings.

One key to the AHS triumph was the prolific offensive at-tack staged by the Mustangs. Quarterback Justin Deaton cut up the Eagles with 7 pass completions for 247 yards and three touchdowns.

Dalton James was a one-man wrecking crew with 3 receptions for 121 yards and 2 TDs. Colten Browning added 2 receptions for 67 yards and another touchdown. Dakota Nickell was a third aerial weapon with 2 receptions for 59 yards.

OCA came into town with the reputation as a danger-ous passing team. However, Deaton and Company put up 247 yards in the air compared to the Eagles’ 219 yards.

Allen also led the rushing chart with 141 yards on 44 carries. OCA was not far off the pace with 133 yards on 29 carries.

Four Mustangs combined to generate the rushing total. Dalton James was tops with 21 carries for 56 yards and 1 touchdown. Colten Browning was second on the team with 4 carries for 35 yards and a touchdown. Justin Deaton pro-duced 10 carries for 29 yards. Preston Brown rounded out the list with 10 carries for 21 yards and a touchdown.

The offensive total of 388 by Allen was 126 yards better than OCA’s 252-yard harvest.

Dalton James was not just an offensive force. The sensa-tional sophomore led the team with 11 tackles.

In the first quarter, Allen got on the scoreboard first with an aerial strike. Dalton James hauled in a 74-yard touchdown pass from Justin Deaton. The QB added a conversion run to make it 8-0.

OCA countered with Pow-ell’s 2-yard TD run, However, the Eagles misfired on a con-version pass to remain behind at 8-6.

Allen the pulled away to a 24-6 halftime lead with a pair of second-quarter touchdowns. Dalton James struck again on a 44-yard TD pass from Deaton. Another Deaton keeper pushed the lead to 16-6.

Allen’s second touchdown came on Preston Brown’s 2-yard scoring run. Deaton followed with his third conver-sion run to send the Mustangs to break with a 24-6 advan-tage.

In the third quarter, OCA managed to score another touchdown. The Eagles used Garner’s 6-yard TD run to close the gap to 24-12.

Allen came right back with Colten Brown’s 21-yard touch-down pass from Deaton. The conversion followed with Deaton scoring on a keeper to make it 32-12.

The Mustangs roared into the fourth quarter and put the game on ice with two more touchdowns. Dalton James romped to pay dirt on a 5-yard TD run. Preston Brown then added a conversion run to hike the lead to 40-12.

Allen’s final touchdown of the night was provided by Colten Browning’s 24-yard touchdown run. When the conversion run failed, the Mustangs settled for a 46-12 cushion. That turned out to be the final score of the game.

“It was a good win and we played well,” said Coach Deaton. “It was really an emo-tional week for all the kids. We lost a young man in a car wreck who had graduated here in May (2013). He was very popular and that made it so emotional for everyone. I am proud that the kids handle everything the right way. When it came time to play football, our players did a good job of picking up an important win.”

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen High School soft-ball team has wrapped up the regular-season portion of the schedule.

Coach Jeremy Strong’s squad was set to fi nish the regular season on Monday with the Vanoss Lady Wolves.

On Tuesday, the post-season was scheduled to begin. The Lady Mustangs were sent down to Kiowa to play in the district tournament. Joining Allen and Kiowa in the 3-team fi eld will be Canadian.

“We play Kiowa at 5 p.m. on Tuesday,” said Coach Strong. “We’ll play Canadian at 6:30.”

The district tournament is a double-elimination event. Only one team will advance

to next week’s regional tourna-ment. Allen fans hope the Lady Mustangs can emerge from the district and keep the season alive. However, the district pairings pose quite a challenge for the Allen squad.

Last week, Allen split two games during a two-day span.

The action began when the Lady Mustangs were humbled 10-0 on Tuesday at Roff High School.

Coach Strong’s girls found it almost impossible to get any offense going against the powerful Roff squad. Nora Thompson was the only Lady Mustang to get a base hit in the 5-inning run rule loss. Thomp-son was 1-for-2 with a single.

Faith Caldwell was the only other Allen player to reach base safely. Caldwell worked

her way aboard with a pair of walks. However, she was un-able to come around and score either time. She was stranded twice on base. Black was also stranded after her hit.

Allen went scoreless over the 5-inning game. Meanwhile, Roff struck for two runs in the bottom of the fi rst inning, three runs in the third inning, four runs in the fourth inning and a fi nal run in the fi fth inning.

Abbey Gaines was in the circle for Allen. She worked 4 1/3 innings and allowed 10 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks. Gaines struck out 6 batters in the game.

After Tuesday’s loss, Al-len went back on the road again on Thursday. The Lady Mustangs visited the Wanette Tigers and came away with a 4-1 victory.

Allen took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning. Wanette responded with a run in the bottom of the fourth inning.

The sixth inning turned out to be the back-breaker for Wanette. The Lady Tigers watched Allen erupted for 3 runs in the sixth frame to pro-vide a 4-1 advantage. When Wanette was unable to an-swer with any runs, the Lady Tigers suffered a 4-1 loss at the hands of the visiting Lady Mustangs.

Abbey Gaines was rock-solid in the circle. The Allen pitcher worked the full 7 innings and allowed Wanette only 1 run and 3 hits. She struck out 13 batters en route to victory.

The Lady Mustangs were led on offense by their pitcher-catcher duo. Abbey Gaines was 3-for-5 with 3 doubles. Mea-gan Beavert was also 3-for-5 at the plate.

Three Allen batters added two hits each, including Faith Caldwell, Rio Jones and Kel-lyn Black.

Tessa Black was 1-for-4 with a double.

Allen could have scored a lot more runs at Wanette. However, the Lady Mustangs left 14 runners on base during seven innings of action. Mean-while, Wanette left 2 runners on base.

Wetumka’s 63rd annual Sucker Day celebration, “Wetumka Strong, Now & Then,” will be held this Saturday, September 28th, at the Wetumka Central Park area and features a host of events and performances for all ages.

In 1950, Wetumkans were “suckered” out of money, food, labor and time by traveling swindler, F. Bam Morrison.

Morrison promises towns-people a marvelous circus and carnival complete with all kinds of animals and per-formers, food booths, games and other entertainment.

He sold advertising space on festival ground and per-suaded several businesses and residents to purchase advertising, hay for the cir-cus animals, advance tickets and urged merchants to keep their stores heavily stocked for an ensuing crowd.

When it came time for the event, Morrison was nowhere to be found, hav-ing disappeared from We-tumka just as quickly as he arrived.

Wetumkans soon realized they were “suckered” and decided to celebrate anyway, declaring the day “Sucker Day.”

Kicking off this year’s event will be the annual Car Show from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Trophies will be awarded at 1:30 p.m. Cat-egories include: Best of Show, Mayor’s Choice, Best Paint, Best Engine and Best Interior. Contact Emmitt Leftwich for more informa-tion on the car show at 405-452-3243 or 405-584-1344.

A large variety of food, refreshment, craft, informa-tion and other booths will open at 9 a.m.

Don was born and raised in Warren, Ohio. When he was only 17, he moved to California and that’s where he met Mom. They were married for more than 29 years. He was a great Dad and took my older brother and me on weekend fishing trips. We moved back to Oklahoma to care for my Grandma – and liked it so much we stayed. Dad worked for years in heating and air-conditioning and eventually opened his own successful business. He was intelligent, funny and loved to ride his Harley.Dad was hurt in a motorcycle accident, and he never recovered. It didn’t surprise any of us to find out that he signed up to be a donor. We miss his quiet strength and brilliant humor.

Organ, eye and tissue donation saves lives. Please make your decision to donate life, and then tell your family!

Register to be an organ, eye and tissue donor on your Oklahoma driver’s license or state ID card, or register online at www.lifeshareregistry.org. If you don’t have a license, or state ID card, and do not have internet access, call 800-826-LIFE (5433), and ask for a donor registration card.

CDC’s Tips From Former Smokers campaign messages

placed statewide through TSET and the Oklahoma To-

health care providers of the im-portance of talking with their patients about smoking and helping them quit for good.”

Physicians play an impor-tant role in helping motivate patients to quit. Physicians should routinely ask patients whether they use tobacco and encourage those who do to quit, and patients should feel empowered to talk with their doctor for help.

“Our message is simple,” says Sylvia Lopez, Chief Med-ical Officer for the Oklahoma Health Care Authority and Neonatologist. “If you’re a smoker, quitting is one of the best things you can do for your health, and the health of your children. We are here to help give you the best chance of success. Don’t wait. Talk with your doctor today about quitting.”

In addition to talking with their doctors, smokers who want help quitting can call the Oklahoma Tobacco Help-line toll-free at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) or visit www.OKhelpline.com for free quit coaching and free patches, gum or lozenges. For more information about the Tips campaign, including profiles of the featured former smokers, other campaign re-sources, and links to the ads, visit www.cdc.gov/tips.

About tSEt: TSET is a grant making state agency that funds the Oklahoma To-bacco Helpline, public educa-tion campaigns to improve health and grants to communi-ties, statewide organizations, and research institutions. The TSET Board of Directors’ stra-tegic plan focuses on reducing cancer and cardiovascular disease – the state’s leading causes of preventable death – by preventing tobacco use and obesity.

bacco Helpline 1-800-QUIT-NOW OKLAHOMA CITY (Sept.

24, 2013) – A doctor’s advice and assistance more than dou-bles the odds that a smoker will successfully quit. The Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention, Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET), and State Department of Health (OSDH) are partnering with Oklahoma physician groups on the new “Talk With Your Doctor” campaign to encour-age smokers to ask a doctor for help. The campaign also encourages doctors to ask pa-tients if they smoke and offer assistance in helping them to

quit.The “Talk With Your Doc-

tor” initiative is part of CDC’s national tobacco education campaign, Tips From Former Smokers, which features a variety of ads with real people who are living with smoking-related diseases and disabili-ties. The graphic, emotional ads show how smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke has changed lives forever.

“These stories motivate smokers to try to quit, and the ‘Talk With Your Doctor’ campaign encourages smokers to get help from their doctor to quit,” said Tracey Strad-er, TSET executive director. “Over 1,000 Oklahomans con-tacted the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline for help with quitting while the Tips ads aired last spring. We’re happy to extend the length of the campaign in Oklahoma, and partner with physician groups and other health care professionals to encourage more Oklahomans to quit.”

Nationally, about one in five U.S. adults (43.8 million) are current cigarette smokers. In Oklahoma, 23.3 percent of adults smoke. In 2012, Okla-homa ranked 39th among states for the percent of adults who smoke, up from 47th worst in 2011. More than 70 percent of smokers want to quit, and about 50 percent try to quit each year, according to the CDC.

Tips From Former Smokers television ads will continue to run statewide for the remainder of September featuring the tagline: “You Can Quit. Talk With Your Doctor for Help.” This simple call to action has proven to empower patients to ask their doctors and other health care professionals to help them quit.

Robert McCaffree, MD, president of the Oklahoma State Medical Association (OSMA) says, “We know that smoking remains a ma-jor public health problem in Oklahoma. As physicians, we can play a key role in helping patients quit. OSMA and our fellow health care provider associations across the state hope the ‘Talk With Your Doc-tor’ initiative will remind our
