Out & About

ADA, Okla. – If you missed it in November, you have a chance to enjoy the Chickasaw Nation’s 2014 holiday season offering of “A Christmas Car-ol” on Chickasaw Community radio, KCNP 89.5.

The play, featuring Chicka-saw and non-Native talent from the Ada area and as far away as Tulsa and Marietta, was presented on the McSwain stage right before Thanksgiv-ing. The show was recorded by KCNP for later broadcast and times have been scheduled for Christmas Eve at 5 p.m. and Christmas Day at noon, sta-tion manager Brian Briasher announced.

“Everybody knows the story ‘A Christmas Carol’,” said the show’s director James Wallace. In fact, last week marked the 171-year anniversary of the book’s initial release. It was written by Charles Dickens.

“The play is very Scrooge-fo-cused,” Wallace said. Wallace selected a seasoned veteran to bring Scrooge center stage – Chickasaw Nation attorney and decorated Vietnam War veteran Robert Cheadle.

Cheadle has been a perform-ing artist since he was 7.

“He brings a huge presence to the stage. A multitalented man of so many venues, his performance makes it possible for other cast members to take on multiple roles and perform sound effects,” Wallace said.

Another veteran performer joins the effort narrating the 1843 story.

Tom Brannan’s name will be familiar to listeners of several radio stations. He hosts “Bran-nan’s Big Bands” on KCNP and has been a radio personal-ity in the regional market for 40 years.

Too, there are actors mak-ing their fi rst foray onstage in a very long time. One is Joe Thomas, a Chickasaw, who captured the lead role in his fourth and sixth grade Christ-mas plays in McAlester but has spent the greater part of his career writing grants and, now, serving as special assis-tant to Lisa John, secretary of Chickasaw Nation Department of Culture and Humanities.

Valerie Johnson is another. She debuts as Martha Cratchit, Tiny Tim’s sister. She is a former Latta pre-kindergar-ten classroom instructor who works for the Chickasaw Na-tion as a STEP grant education specialist.

Though presented onstage, the play is geared toward what a radio troupe would perform around the 1920s. It was re-corded by KCNP and will be broadcast as it was performed in November. Clete Robins serves as the ‘Foley artist,’ which is a term used for sound effects.

Birthdays & Anniversaries

This past weekend I attended a Christmas pro-gram at the Middle Creek Baptist Church. It was outstanding! The youth choir sang The Twelve Days of Christmas.

That is one Christmas Carol that has always baffled me. What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won’t come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?

Thanks to the Internet, I now have understanding, and a new perspective of religious freedoms.

From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in Eng-land were not permit-ted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.

The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.

Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testa-ments.

Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.

The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.

The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.

The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.

Seven swans a-swim-ming represented the sev-enfold gifts of the Holy Spirit: Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.

T h e e i g h t m a i d s a=milking were the eight beatitudes.

Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kind-ness, Goodness, Faithful-ness, Gentleness and Self Control.

The ten lords a-leaping were the ten command-ments.

The eleven pipers pip-ing stood for the eleven faithful disciples.

The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles’ Creed.

So, there is your his-tory for today.

This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening, and now I

know how, and WHY that strange song became a Christmas Carol.

—CC—Now the new version

of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” It is reflec-tive of the current econ-omy, the money saving measure that should be implemented. I don’t know who wrote it but I wish I had.

THE PARTRIDGE WITH NO PEAR TREE

Effective immediately, the following economizing measures are being imple-mented in the “Twelve Days of Christmas” sub-sidiary:

The partridge will be retained, but the pear tree, which never produced the cash crop forecasted, will be replaced by a plastic hanging plant, providing considerable savings in maintenance.

Two turtle doves rep-resent a redundancy that is simply not cost effec-tive. In addition, their romance during working hours could not be con-doned. The positions are, therefore, eliminated.

The three French hens will remain intact. After all, everyone loves the French.

The four calling birds will be replaced by an au-tomated voice-mail system with a call-waiting option. An analysis is underway to determine whom the birds have been calling, how often and how long they talked.

The five golden rings have been put on hold by the Board of Directors. Maintaining a portfolio based on one commodity could have negative im-plications for institutional investors.

Diversification into other precious metals, as well as a mix of T-bills and high technology stocks, appear to be in order.

The six geese-a-laying constitutes a luxury that can no longer by afforded. It has long been felt that the production rate of one egg per goose per day was an example of the general decline in productivity. Three geese will be let go, and an upgrading in the selection procedure by personnel will assure management that, from now on, every goose it gets will be a good one.

The seven swans-a-swimming is obviously a number chosen in bet-ter times. The function is primarily decorative. Mechanical swans are on order. The current swans will be retrained to learn some new strokes, thereby enhancing their outplace-ment.

As you know, the eight maids-a-milking concept has been under heavy scru-tiny by the EEOC. A male/female balance in the workforce is being sought. The more militant maids consider this a dead-end

Job with no upward mobility. Automation of the process may permit the maids to try a-mending, a-mentoring or a-mulching.

Nine ladies dancing has always been an odd number. This function will be phased out as these individuals grow older and can no longer to the steps.

Ten Lords-a-leaping is overkill. The high cost of lords, plus the expense of international air travel, prompted the Compensa-tion Committee to sug-gest replacing this group with 10 out-of-work con-gressmen. While leaping ability may be somewhat sacrificed, the savings are significant as we expect an oversupply of unemployed congressmen this year.

Eleven pipers piping and 12 drummers drum-

ming is a simple case of the band getting too big. A substitution with a string quartet, a cutback on new music and no uniforms, will produce savings which will drop right to the bot-tom line.

Overall we can expect a substantial reduction in assorted people, fowl, ani-mals and related expenses. Though incomplete, stud-ies indicate that stretching deliveries over 12 days is inefficient. If we can drop

ship in one day, service levels will be improved.

Regarding the lawsuit seeking expansion to in-clude the legal profession (“13 lawyers-a-suing”), a decision is pending.

Deeper cuts may be necessary in the future to remain competitive. Should that happen, the board will request man-agement to scrutinize the Snow White division to see if seven dwarves is the right number.

Now that’s funny!

Tragedy Narrowly Averted

By James Morse Early on a recent Friday

morning, I lowered both sets of steps to the attic and turned on the lights in prepa-

ration for the scheduled visit of the C Spire installation crew. As has been her custom ever since we adopted her from the Animal Shelter last January, our cat Lucy dashed

off to hide under a bed as soon as the first strangers appeared.

After about eight hours, the job was completed and the six or seven men who had been involved closed up the attic and left. Some hours passed before we realized that Lucy had still not come out of hiding, something she usually does within five or ten minutes of the departure of visitors. The food that had been in her dish since early morning appeared to be un-touched.

We searched under all the beds and even in the attic, and there was no response to our repeated calls. Admittedly, Lucy does have a weak voice and usually answers only with faint mews (unlike her deceased predecessor whose loud meows could be heard over most of the house as she announced every morning, “I know you people are up. Now why haven’t you fed the cat?” ).

Although the C Spire men appeared to have taken care to close the outside doors behind them, we could only assume that the cat had somehow slipped past them and escaped into the great outdoors. We hoped she would find a dry place to spend the night (since the rain was beginning to fall).

Saturday morning, we ex-tended our search to the neighborhood. and asked the folks at the Animal Shelter to let us know if someone should turn her in. Sunday afternoon, I made a more thorough search through the backyards and open garages of our neighbors while re-peatedly calling her name. No results. By then, we would have been satisfied just to know that some kind person had taken her in to keep.

Then, soon after I had re-turned home from my vain search, our grandson, who was up from Jackson for the weekend, insisted that his young ears had detected a few meows in the vicinity of the closet beneath the stairs. We had checked that closet at least twice already, and another search still showed it to be bare.

Then, I too heard a faint mew, and when I placed my ear against the wall around the corner from the closet opening and called her name, there was no doubt that there was a live cat within that wall. (The space within the inner walls in this part of the house was extended to twelve inches to accommo-date the built-in bookshelves in the next room and a return air-conditioning duct.).

Fortunately, with drill and keyhole saw I was able to create a opening in the closet side of the space and quickly remove a very frightened and very thirsty cat. She had apparently been trapped in that space for at least fifty-six hours. Although we’ve been unable to locate in the attic an obvious remote opening through which she could have entered, I sus-

pect she had managed to squeeze by some ductwork until tumbling down the shaft in which I found her. Consequently, a new policy has been established in our house. Steps to the attic will not be lowered until the cat is safely excluded from that room.

Obviously, we human be-ings had failed to realize--in Lucy’s case, anyway--how powerful a motivator a cat’s curiosity can be, at times capable of outweighing even the cat’s fear. If my Grand-mother Morse suspected that one of us grandchildren might be considering trying smoking “just to see what it’s like,” she was quick to remind us that “Curiosity

killed the cat!”It almost did in this case,

anyway. But why hadn’t Lucy raised

her voice when her situation became desperate? She certainly had the physical equipment to do so as wit-nessed by the extremely loud caterwaul she once directed at a large tomcat who had appeared at the backdoor, presumably to ask if she didn’t want to come out and play.

Perhaps she’s listened too intently on the radio to Gar-rison Keillor’s description of how people (and presumably their above-average cats) in Lake Wobegone tend to ac-cept the vicissitudes of life without complaining since “it could have been worse.”

Growing up with Real People in Calvin

Threads of Life By Cleo LeVally . . .

CHRISTMAS IN 1943—Christmas in 1943 was a much different world than it is now. The Second World War was on and we were sta-tioned in Charleston, South Carolina, awaiting assign-ment overseas to the Europe-an Theatre. As we were wait-ing, we get this huge box of presents from home. I don't think any Christmas present was received with as much joy as that one.

The box was fi lled with treasures from the farm. There were sausages, hams and all kinds of canned food stuff. Jar after jar of things that had been raised on the farm, and then everything was packed in native and pa-

per shell peanuts, which we later roasted. We had Okla-homa in Florida for many days, and oh, everything was so welcomed.

We never got to Europe in that war. After many months, an order came to report at Oakland, California Army Base to get ready to go to the South Pacifi c.

So I came back to Okla-homa and got a job as a clerk at the Army Ammuni-tion Depot at McAlester and worked there until that world war was fi nally over.

Since that war that I re-member so well, there have been many and they contin-ue on.

LARGE & SMALL ANIMALS

Time to guard your pets against fleas and ticks

Tim Costner, D.V.M

A Christmas Story It’s pretty hectic some-times—Christmas that is. That may be why post-Christmas attitudes may vary somewhat. Some people are just glad to get it done. They view that last car-load of relations going away and down the road as sad and you can hardly wait for them to come again, well, that’s sort of one viewpoint. Another is, thank God they’re gone at last. Since most of the hoard of kin I had fell in on my place

this past weekend might read this let me hastily say how much I enjoyed each and every one of them and their company and how I grieved when they all fi nally left. It’s a sad time indeed for Pat and me, just lolling around missing our kids and grandkids. May-be they can all come back soon, like next Christmas or sometime.

All of my grandchildren but one was here. All my

grandkids are my very fa-vorite but some may actu-ally be more favored than others but I am careful not to be partial—except with 18 month old Charlotte from Jenks. She and her 5-year-old sis, Francesca, have turned out to be a little cuter and smarter than all the others but don’t say anything to them as I try to keep it a closely guarded secret. Julia and her cousin Braden did a good job entertaining Sat-urday night, playing and singing Christmas Carols and a few other songs that were written on the spot. I’m hoping my piano survived OK and doesn’t need another sudden tun-ing.

Gift exchanges took place Saturday night. It got pretty noisy and I won-dered if we were just a little wacky or what. I’m pretty sure it’s not normal for little kids to stop opening gifts so they can watch a bunch of bigger kids open theirs fi rst. While things were pretty tame this year it’s not unusually for our gift exchanges to make a “dirty Santa” party blush in comparison. But it was a good time with plenty of laughter and good will.

Sunday morning every-one trekked off to the First Baptist Church to watch a Christmas musical “Christmas Makes Every-thing New” performed by the FBC Adult Choir. The sanctuary was well deco-rated and a large crowd enjoyed the music which was not only well done but meaningful. Julia Ray did an excellent job putting this together and I know the choir enjoyed preparing and presenting the musical. The Children

presented their programs Sunday night.

Christmas Eve night the Methodist hosts a special Christmas program. This program is always well prepared and I guarantee there will be traditional Christmas songs and a good program. The cof-fee, cakes and other treats following the program are also welcome on a cold Christmas Eve night as you chat with your friends and neighbors and perhaps a surprise visitor or two.

One last thing: Mu-sic teacher Mr. Cody is making progress with his bands and groups up at the

school. All the children’s Christmas programs were excellent but I noticed some real progress in the Friday night Band Con-cert. The Jr. High band is not only growing but is getting better. I know people in Allen appreciate Mr. Cody and his efforts up at the school.

I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and be sure and go to church this Sunday. It’s free and you will fi nd good things happen there.

Wayne Bullard, [email protected]

There is no doubt regard-ing the importance and signifi cance of the coming of Jesus Christ into the world. He said that He had come that man might have life and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) There is no doubt that fol-lowing Him, trusting Him and living by His teach-ings will give us the richest and fullest life possible.

However, as important as Christ’s coming is, His death and resurrection is even more important and signifi cant. It is only through His death that we can overcome death and have eternal life. He died for each of us so that God can forgive us of our sins against Him. The Apostle Paul wrote that Christ died for our sins. (1 Corinthi-ans 15:3) When we were separated from the source of life because of our sins against Him, Jesus died in our stead. He became our ransom to set us free from eternal death; from eternal separation from God. (1

Timothy 2:6) Thus, Jesus said that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. (Joh 3:15)

While there is no men-tion of the inspired Apos-tles or early Christians celebrating Christ’s birth or Christmas as we do, they did celebrate His death and resurrection. By His resurrection from the dead, He conquered death and through trusting Him we can also overcome this enemy. Thus, the celebra-tion of Christ’s death and resurrection was the center piece of the faith of the early Christians and they kept that celebration on each fi rst day of the week. Christ Himself instituted this celebration and said we were to do it in memo-ry of Him. (1 Corinthians 11:24-25) It is unfortunate that some have failed to keep a celebration estab-lished by Christ Himself and chosen to observe one instituted by men? Jesus said of other similar man-made commands, “in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the command-ments of men.” (Matthew 15:9) Neglecting God’s commands to observe our own has always brought the wrath of God.

Holdenville General Hos-pital (HGH) announced to-day that it will be acquiring the Wewoka Medical Rural Health Clinic. Glenn A. Crowson, M.D. and Amy Ashley, ARNP, as practice providers, will join forces with Holdenville General Hospital effective January 1, 2015 and will operate under the name of Holden-ville General Hospital We-woka Health Clinic. This clinic will be an addition to the other three clinics they currently own and operate – HGH Rural Health Clinic in Holdenville; HGH Phy-sician Health Clinic in Holdenville; and HGH Al-len Health Clinic in Allen. The acquisition represents an expansion in the greater tri-city area, where HGH already has a well-estab-lished presence.

Roberta Jeffrey, CEO of HGH, commented, “Dr. Crowson and HGH share

a common vision which is to ensure the citizens of Wewoka have continued access to health care – now and in the future. Dr. Crow-son has been a member of our active medical staff for many years. We have al-ways considered Wewoka as part of our community and service area, since they are located only eight miles away.”

Wewoka Medical Rural Health Clinic has been pro-viding quality care for its patients for the past thirty years. Dr. Crowson states, “With this acquisition, we are confident that going forward we can further en-hance the valuable health services we provide the communities in Seminole County, Hughes County, and surrounding areas.”

Dr. Crowson will remain with the practice under HGH and will continue

to provide quality care for the Wewoka area. The current employees of the clinic will also continue in their positions at the clinic after the change of owner-ship occurs. It is the goal to support and enhance the services offered while maintaining the great cul-ture that has been in exis-tence for so many years.

Holdenville Gen-eral Hospital has been an Affi liate with St. Anthony Hospital since 2011.

Have you noticed that the days are getting longer now that the fi rst day of winter is past? Me neither. Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season no matter how many hours of daylight are in them.

You’ve probably noted the various ways we’re told that if we don’t use the term “Merry Christmas” this time of year we’re not holding up our end of things as Christians. I was born back in the ‘40’s and have received Christ-mas cards all through the years using the phrases “Happy Holidays,” “Sea-son’s Greetings,” and even “Merry Xmas.” Until recently the terms weren’t some kind of test as to whether the sender was a Christian or not. Well, I do remember a campaign urging people to quit us-ing “Xmas” because that was leaving the “Christ” out of Christmas. How-ever, those who made the mistake of using that term weren’t branded as being on the wrong side of a

major religious conflict. Who starts these heated verbiage wars anyway?

The children’s class opened the worship ser-vices this Sunday with their Sunday School Bible verse.

Then the congregation sang Christmas hymns, and Joyce Searcy sang “What Child Is This?” as the special music selec-tion. It is always a bless-ing to hear Joyce sing, and this song is a favorite Christmas hymn of people around the world.

Rev. Karch’s message, titled “The Birth of Sal-vation,” was from Isaiah 7:14, 9:6,7; Luke 2:1-19; and Hebrews 9:11.

Jesus was born of a vir-gin as Isaiah had proph-esied he would be. He was also born with the weight of the whole world on his shoulders. Born in a stable to show that he came for every person of every rank, he grew to be a loving, Godly person who accomplished all that God had sent him to do.

While Jesus was on earth he taught us how to live. Then, the blood he shed for us when he died on the cross was the blood sacri-fi ce—the only sacrifi ce—that could atone for the sins of all mankind. Now, He sits at the right hand of God and intercedes for us. He is the high priest who makes all earthly high priests unnecessary.

Is it any wonder that people all over the world celebrate the birth of a Savior such as this?

Coach Jeremy Strong’s Allen squad ends 2014 with wins over Roff and Calvin

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen Lady Mustangs added two more wins to the De-cember total in a pair of recent basketball games.

Coach Jeremy Strong’s AHS girls defeated the Roff Lady Tigers 47-32 on Tuesday, De-cember 16. Allen then moved on to Thursday’s home game and knocked off the visiting Calvin Lady Bulldogs 75-44.

At Roff, Allen rocketed off to a 16-0 lead late in the fi rst quarter. The Lady Mustangs ended the quarter with a 17-5 advantage.

Roff then rallied to outscore the Lady Mustangs 13-2 in the second quarter. In doing so, the Lady Tigers closed to within a point at the half, 19-18.

Allen came out in the third quarter and regained control of the contest. The Lady Mustangs

outscored Roff to swell the ad-vantage to 37-22 heading into the fourth quarter.

Both teams scored 10 points down the stretch. By matching Roff’s offense, Allen was able to retain the 15-point spread in the 47-32 victory.

Kennedy Prentice led Allen in scoring with 14 points. Al-lison Sells was second on the team with 12 points. Alycia Evans just missed double digits with 9 points.

Other scoring included Charlea Leonard with 8 points and Hannah Heck with 4.

One crucial stat in the game was the steals by Allen. The Lady Mustangs recorded a dozen steal, with Evans snatch-ing 5 thefts to lead the way for her defense.

On December 18, Allen cruised to a 75-44 win over the visiting Calvin Lady Bull-dogs.

Allen was clinging to a 14-13 lead after one quarter. The Lady Mustangs then outscored

CHS 14-0 in the second period to grab a 28-13 halftime ad-vantage.

Coach Strong’s Allen squad then took control in the third period. The AHS cagers out-scored Calvin 26-13 in the third quarter and 21-9 in the fourth. The effort swelled the final margin of victory at 31 points, 75-44.

Calvin’s scoring leader was Ashley Gilleam, who pumped in a game-high 19 points. Sarah Jennings had 8 points while McKenzie Blaylock and Lind-say Carter added 7 points each. Abigail Harris followed with 3 points to round out the scor-ing.

Allen had four players to score in double digits and a fi fth player just one point off that pace. Alison Sells dropped in 18 points, with a dozen points coming on four treys.

Charlea Leonard was a close second with 17 points for the Lady Mustangs.

Faith Caldwell and Ken-nedy Prentice added 10 points

each. Alycia Evans just missed double digits with 9 points.

Other Allen scoring includ-ed Oke-Tw’sha Roberts with 4 points, Meysa Dohlman with 3, and Hannah Heck and Abby Gaines with 2 points each.

The win notched Allen a 7th triumph in only 8 games.

The Lady Mustangs will be on vacation until a Jan. 6 game with the Tupelo Lady Tigers.

perfect 8-0 record. However, the Pontotoc County squad had to survive a strong upset bid at Roff to retain the spotless mark.

Coach Greg Mills’ Mustangs slipped out of Roff Tuesday night with a heart-stopping 53-52 win over the Roff Tigers.

Logan George scored 30 points to fuel his team to victory. Included in George’s total was a pair of driving layups inside 40 seconds. The sophomore put Allen on top 53-51. Roff countered with a free throw (2 of 2) to cut the defi cit to 53-52 with 11.8 seconds to go.

Allen had a pair of 1-and-1 opportunities in the last 10 seconds. However, the Mustangs misfi red on both shots, which set up Roff with 2.8 seconds and a shot at victory. That shot was off the mark and AHS walked away with the 1-point thriller, 53-52.

Joining Logan George in the scoring parade were six other Mustangs. Josiah Jones led the others with 6 points while Tommy Lee Peay and Kanan Wisdom tallied 5 each. Drew Back provided 3 points while Ty Brown and Christian Henry fi nished with 2 points each.

On Thursday, Allen jumped back in action with a home game against the Calvin Bulldogs. The Mustangs got a good challenge from Calvin but still overpowered the Bulldogs 99-70.

The home team took a 30-19 lead in the fi rst quarter. Calvin then outscored AHS 25-22 in a wild second quarter to make it a 52-36 game at halftime (with Allen on top).

Fans got another wild quarter in the third stanza as Allen out-scored the Hughes County opponent 33-19. The surge carried the Mustangs to an 85-55 lead going into the last quarter. Calvin then outscored AHS 15-14 down the stretch – ending the game on the short side of the 99-70 fi nal score.

Anthony Harrison was a scoring machine for Calvin. Harrison poured in 36 points to lead all scorers. Michael Iker added 13 points for the Bulldogs. Wesley Bain followed with 9 points.

The other CHS scorers were Caden Turpin with 6 points, Joe Adams with 4 and Justin Holman with 2.

Logan George once again paced Allen’s scoring attack with 21 points. Incredibly, fi ve other Mustangs also scored in double fi gures against Calvin. Tommy Lee Peay exploded for 17 points. Josiah Jones added 14 and Christian Henry generated 12. Kanan Wisdom tossed in 11 points and Ty Brown chipped in 10. Jordan Stick and Colby Eaker followed with 5 points each while Fernando Medina and Shane Rinehart scored 2 points each.

Coach Mills was happy to see his Mustangs improved to 8-0 on the season. However, he was quick to praise the Calvin said for playing “exceptionally well” against Allen.
