Dinner to benefit JB Nelson & Harold Sanders

The Allen Chamber of Commerce met Tuesday, January 15th, for their monthly meeting. Following the invocation and ap-proval of the minutes and treasurers report, discussion of Santa’s visit and the “Shop at Home” promotion was held.

The 2013 membership and flag service drive is underway and anyone wishing to become a part of this organization is urged to contact Charles or Betty Speir at 857-2456.

It was estimated that 135 candy sacks were distributed to area children visiting with Santa on December 15th. This was fol-lowed by the drawings for an I-Pad and Kindle Fire, donated by the Allen Chamber, a Quillow from Prairie Notions, and gift certificates from the Allen Food Center and Allen Dollar & More Store. Lucky winners were Nina Stewart, Rusty Bible, Nancy McDougal, Kathryn Moore and Amanda Frederick, re-spectively.

Next on the Chamber’s calendar of events will be the annual banquet. This year’s event was set for February 19th in the school cafeteria. Ticket prices are expected to remain the same, $8 per person.

Also set was the date for the annual Buck Gilmore Memorial Easter Egg Hunt. As always, the hunt was set for the Saturday of Palm Sunday weekend, this year on March 23rd. This allows the following Saturday, March 30th, to be used as a rain-date alternative.

Also discussed, but without action being taken, was participa-tion in the Pontotoc County Relay for Life event, this year to be held May 31st, a quilt show to be held in conjunction with Alumni Weekend, and possibly sponsoring a “Biggest Loser” contest for all Allen area residents.

Arrangements were made for the placing of flags on Presidents’ Day and the meeting was adjourned. Those attending were Pur-vey Knighten, Charles Speir, Eric Pierce, Cindy Davis, Michelle Barlow, Pam Price, Debbie Rinehart and Dianna Brannan.

Chamber Banquet Slated for February 19

Kinlee Cundiff earned a trophy belt buckle when her goat won Grand Champion Overall at the Colbert Goat Show this past Saturday, January 12th. Kinlee earned her place in the championship round when she placed 1st in Class 4. The event, judged by Brian Cothran from Murray State College, was held in Durant. Also competing in the show were her sister and cousins. Kamlyn Cundiff placed 2nd in Class 2; Jaxon Watkins placed 2nd in Class 3; and Jaycee Watkins earned 1st in Class 1. All four goats came from Bruce and Lori Merriman’s goat farm in Allen.

The Allen City Council met in regular session on Monday, January 7, 2013 at the city offices on East Broadway. The meet-ing was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by mayor Dianna Brannan. Four council members were present: Brannan, Rhonda Skelton, Delwayne Johnson and Joy Anderson. Mike Todd was absent.

First action on the agenda was the approval of a resolution for the 2013 regular municipal election. Seats currently held by Rhonda Skelton and Mike Todd. Filing for the position is from February 4 thru 6, 2013 with the election to be held April 2nd.

Police deputy Billy “Cowboy” Sanford requested and was granted a leave from duty. No further report was available in the absence of Police Chief Eric Holcomb.

Fire Chief J.B. Nelson informed the Council he has signed an agreement with the Bureau of Indian affairs for possible assis-tance when fighting fires on Indian land. It was also announced that the Department will be going to a new alert system. Firemen will be notified of fire calls via their personal cell phones rather than departmental pagers.

Members were advised of the damage sustained by the garbage truck last month when it struck by another vehicle while on a run to the landfill in Wewoka. During the time the truck was down for repairs, Allen was assisted with their garbage pickup schedule by WCA.

The Council discussed future option for the garbage control. The truck currently in use is 20+ years old. Purchase of a new truck was estimated in excess of $150,000, with the other option to go to use of an outside collection source. That would reduce pickup to one day a week and require residents to change to the use of poly-carts.

In other business the Council signed a work order to begin the upgrade of the Allen water wells. Funding for the work will provided by the recently acquired grant which the town acquired to upgrade the aeration system at the well head. The grant will provide over $180,000 for needed repairs and improvements with the town providing matching funds and labor.

2013 is well underway and, like Walker Moore, I have to ad-mit that as I get older, my New Year’s resolutions are becoming more obtainable. He adds . . .

When I started out, I had a hard time reaching them, even with hard work and self-discipline. Now, I am able to attain many of them, along with a sense of self-satisfaction. I am proud I have made my goals concerning my reading, my weight and my relationship with God more manageable. I thought I would post my past New Year’s resolutions so you can see my pathway to success. Please fee free to use them yourself:

—CC— While I don’t remember any of the resolutions I made in

the 1960s as a high school student, I do remember one of the

popular slogans was “Turn On, Tune In and Drop Out.” It’s a slogan many young people took seriously in the 1960s, and many of them still follow today. Only these days they are turning on their heat-ing pads, tuning their hearing aids, and dropping their den-tures in a glass.

—CC— We are in the opening days

of a new year. This is the per-fect time to share an article by William Ward . . .

The beautiful winter day was crisp, clear and calm. A cloud-less blue sky accentuated the long white vapor trail from a jet airplane that could no lon-ger be seen.

Like the airplane, all of us leave our own trails that can bother or bless, infect or in-spire. Every person has the power to make others happy. As the old one-liner goes, one does it simply by entering a room; another, by leaving the room.

I have a friend who leaves a trail of enthusiasm. Hours after a telephone call from her I still feel great.

Another friend leaves a trail of optimism. After a few minutes talking to him, I feel better. He always makes my day.

One friend enriches my day by always leaving a trail of kindness. A cheerful smile is his trademark.

Some people leave trails of gloom; others trails of joy. Some leave trails of hate and bitterness; others, trails of love and harmony.

Some leave trails of self-ishness and unconcern; oth-ers, trails of generosity and thoughtfulness.

Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism; others, trails of faith. Some leave trails of criti-cism and resignation; others, trails of gratitude and hop.

What kind of trails did you

leave in 2012? What kind of trails will you

leave in 2013?

Vienna Trip, Continued Vienna, Austria, harbors a

centuries old collection of artifacts and Imperial paraphernalia that serves as a constant reminder of the days when the city was the Imperial Capital City and residence of the Habsburgs who ruled the empire of over 50 million people.

Most visitors to Vienna are in-terested in two of the city’s most important attractions; the Vienna Boy’s Choir and the Lipizzaner, which were founded by the Hab-sburgs. The Opera House is also one of the big attractions. The Boy’s Choir sings in the court chapel and the horses prance in the Spanish Riding School. This building was closed during De-cember when we were there but the opera is in session all year. The great composers caused Vi-enna to become the music capital of the world. We had a tour of the Opera House building on once of the days we were there but did not attend any of the operas. There were tables and benches on the sidewalks outside of the restau-rants in the area, and you could sit at one of the tables, etc., when the opera was in session and hear the music. This was a favorite thing to do in the evening

Napoleon’s reign (1805-1809) brought a short decline, but the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815)

brought a new Golden Age and brought together Europe’s great leaders. There was a revolution in 1848 between the well-to-do citizens and the lower classes. Emperor Franz Ferdinand had to abdicate in favor of his son, Franz Joseph I, 18 years of age, who ruled the country for 68 years. During his reign, the Austrio-Hungarian monarchy grew to 50 million. Franz Joseph did not live to see the fall of the empire, as he died in 1916. His successor, Karl I, abdicated the throne in 1918, and the first Republic came into power. After World War 1, Vienna became a federal capitol and a federal state in 1921. Hitler marched into Austria in 1938. Austria regained its independent status following World War II.

Hitler had grown up in Vienna as a very poor student and he lived in abject poverty. He studied in the history rooms of the House of Habsburg and continued to try to gain entry into the art school and study architecture. It is on record that as he continued his education he studied with zeal, the History of the German Em-pire. He became obsessed with ‘The Spear of Destiny’ which was on display in the treasure house. He would go and stand by the hour and gaze upon it. This spear is reported to be the Spear of the Roman Centurions, which pierced the side of Christ and by

reputation, the one who possessed the spear had great powers. Hitler heard the words of the tour guide explain there was a legend about the spear, that whoever claims it, and solves the secrets, hold the destiny of the world in his hands for good or evil.

Hitler failed to gain entry into the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts because his sketches were not up to the required standards. He was also refused entry into the

School of Architecture. If he had been admitted, he may never have gone on to do the things he did. While he lived in this small room he drew plans for the rebuilding of Vienna. He wanted to tear down, rebuild and redesign the major buildings of the city. One of his plans he drew, at the age of 19, changed the imperial City of Vienna into a spacious sun-lit city which contained 5, 8 and 16 room houses for working class

families. In Hitler’s speech at the An-

schluss after ‘Operation Otto’ had secured Austria for the Ger-man Reich on March 14, 1938, he said, ‘Providence has charged me with a mission to reunite the German peoples, with a mission to restore my homeland to the German Reich. I have believed in this mission and I have lived it. I now believe I have fulfilled it.’

Fort Supply Oklahoma was established in 1868 as a supply depot for Gen. Phillip Sheri-dan. A town still remains out there — a 7 by 7 block square plat on SH-270 in Woodward County. I didn’t know any of this on the early morning hour that late September day in 1964; I just wanted to get home. My family and my par-ents had just finished a fun trip to Wyoming to visit my older brother, Gerald. We’d had a great time racing around up there trying to see every sight but it was time to get home and go back to work.

We hadn’t slept all that well in the “smelly” town of Garden City that night and this morn-ing we were bucking the high winds just north of Woodward when I felt the flat. Thank goodness, I thought to myself, we have a good spare. I pulled over and went into the routine of jacking up the car and found I had parked in the worse thicket of goat-heads and stick-ers ever. Never-the-less I soon had the car jacked up and the wheel off when I found the spare was flat. In the distance I could see the top of a water tower. I knew it was Fort Sup-ply and I wondered if anything at all could be open on this windy and cold Sunday morn-ing. About then Pat reminded me that not one car had come by while we had been stopped. Well, Fort Supply looked to be close by.

I pulled a bunch more of stickers out of my socks and pants. They were tough but soon I was rolling the wheel down the highway. After a few minutes of slow travel I noticed a truck barreling down the highway — going my way. I moved over and put out my thumb. He stopped and I threw the tire into an open side door of the semi. He hauled me into town and sure enough there was a café-gas station that had a sign out front announcing “Flats Fixed.”

An old boy short on teeth and IQ plugged it and aired it up. I asked if he could give me a ride back and after the obligatory spit he said, “No.” I went in-side and found a local teen with a pickup without front fenders (didn’t have any back fenders either) who offered me a ride and away we went. I gave him a dollar, put the wheel back on and drove back to Fort Supply where I had my old “friend” fix the other flat. I was pretty pleased with myself for being done with this chore and won-dering when I would heal up from all those stickers.

“Thank goodness,” I said to my wife (who is hard to impress) “that we are back on the road and have a spare this time.” She said, “I’m im-pressed.”

I went on about 30 miles or so and the car weaved. “Must

be the high winds,” I said as we cleared another mile of red dust from an adjacent wheat field. But I was suspicious we were going to have another flat. Just ahead was a station and I pulled in and sure enough, my newly plugged tire was low and hissing like a Texas rattler. I went in and asked if they fixed flats.

“This is Sunday.” I don’t know what made him think I didn’t know what day of the week it was and I was getting progressively more homesick. I went out and took off the “leaker” and when I got the last lug tight on the spare and let the car down it pooched. Yes, it was going flat too.

“Ah ken sale yew sume tares,” the gas guy said. Yes, he had a deal for me. I bought two tires that Sabbath morn-ing from this “unborn-again” merchant.

“I never heard of “Road-Boss Tires” before. Then I said, “put ‘em on.” After buying two inter-tubes and finding there was no such thing as free installation in this dust bowl I paid the money and we came home to Allen. I probably should have gone directly to church when I got home and asked God to forgive me for the evil plots I hatched up in my mind against both of my tire guys. It included hanging

them up by their thumbs. Hope your tires all stay up

and you have nothing but pleasant thoughts for your fel-low man. Be sure and go to church Sunday — it might help

you deal with flat tires and evil thoughts if you have a flat.

In an effort to destroy faith in God, some unbelieving people argue that the Bible was written by man and is not from God. Of course, men did write it, but as they were directed by God. The Apostle Peter wrote that the Scrip-ture “never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” (2 Peter 1:20-21) The Apostle Paul wrote that the Scriptures were given by “inspiration of God.” (2 Tim 3:16-17) Like these two, all the writers of the Bible claimed that they wrote as directed by God. The Apostle Paul claimed

that the truths he wrote were revealed to him by the Spirit and that he did not use words taught by man’s wisdom, “but which the Holy Spirit teaches.” (1 Cor 2:10-13)

Can we believe these claims of the Bible writers? What proofs might be given to shows the divine origin of the Bible? One such proof is the accuracy of the Bibli-cal record. The Bible has been demonstrated to be accurate regarding histori-cal, geographical, and even scientific information. While the Bible is not a textbook on these subjects, modern science has never disproved any statement in the Bible. Also, hundreds of statements in the Bible regarding facts unknown to man at the time they were written have been demonstrated to be true by modern science.

Archaeology has also shown the Bible to be ac-curate. Nelson Glueck, a revered Jewish archaeolo-gist claims, “It could also be stated categorically that no

archaeological discovery has ever contradicted a biblical reference.”

If the Bible is not written by the inspiration of God, how can we account for its accuracy? The fact that the Bible is accurate and yet it was written over a period of about 1,500 years by about 40 men, many who were un-known to each other, shows that it must have originated with the infallible God, rather than fallible men.

secured Allen the consolation championship in the Moss tournament.

Coach Strong was thrilled

to see his squad escape with the 38-36 win at Tupelo on Tuesday.

“It was a tough win but a

fun game to be a part of,” the Allen skipper said. “Both of our teams did some good things and both of us did some not-so-good things. They (Lady Tigers) have a young team too. I believe we grew up a little at Tupelo.”

The game was a roller-coaster ride for Allen. The Lady Mustangs led 7-6 after one quarter before falling behind 22-20 at half-time. Both teams scored 5 points in the third quarter, sending AHS into the final stanza down 27-25. The Lady Mustangs then outscored the host squad 13-9 to rally to the 38-36 win.

Eight Lady Mustangs provided scoring in the game. Sandra Howshar led the balanced attack with 9 points. Beyla Skelton followed with 7 points while Charlea Leonard hit 6. Kennedy Prentice led the rest of the team with 5. Cheyenne Nickell chipped in 4 points while Miranda Raney and Alison Sells added 3 each. Hannah Heck scored 1 to round out the attack.

“It was back and forth the whole game,” said Coach Strong. “The biggest lead for either team was 5 points. We were ahead by 2 points with seconds to go when we had a 1-and-1 opportunity. We could have sealed the deal with 2 free throws. But we missed the front end and Tupelo got the rebound. They went on a fast-break attack to try to tie the game. That’s when Miranda Raney made the play of the game for us. She played defense and stood in there and took a charge with a second left. She got hammered … but took the charge and got the call. That sealed the win for us as we got possession of the ball and won the game! I am so proud of her (Raney) for standing in there like she did to get the charge. That took guts!”

On Thursday, Allen squared off with the talented Stonewall Lady Longhorns in the first round of the Moss tournament. The Lady Mustangs were unable to match the scoring of Stonewall while falling to a 42-29 loss.

Allen trailed 9-7 in the first quarter before rallying to a 17-16 edge at the break. After the break, Stonewall took control by outscoring the Lady Mustangs 13-6. The effort pushed the Lady Longhorns in front 29-23. Stonewall then outscored AHS again 13-6 to secure the 13-point win at 42-29.

Beyla Skelton poured in 13 points to pace the Lady Mustangs in the scoring chart. She was the only Allen player landing in double figures. Hannah Heck was next with 5 points. Charlea Leonard followed with 4 points. Three others scored 2 points each, including Sandra Howshar, Alison Sells and Alycia Evans. Cheyenne Nickell provided 1 point in the loss.

On Friday, Allen was back in action at Allen. The Lady Mustangs faced the Bowlegs Lady Bison in an elimination showdown. Coach Strong’s girls responded with a 64-44 blowout victory.

Allen raced away to leads of 16-6 after one quarter and 32-15 at half-time. The rest of the game was more of the same. The Lady Mustangs outscored Bowlegs 18-4 in the third period and 14-5 in the fourth.

Three Allen girls finished with double-digit scoring. Beyla Skelton was tops with 17 points while Cheyenne Nickell and Hannah Heck added 10 points each. Sandra Howshar provided 8 points and Alycia Evans generated 6. Miranda Raney and Taryn Wofford each tossed in 5 points. Charlea Leonard rounded out the scoring with 3 points.

The one-sided win over Bowlegs pushed Allen into Saturday’s consolation finals. The Lady Mustangs met the Stuart Lady Hornets in the contest. Coach Strong’s AHS team was locked in a tight game before pulling away to a double-digit win in the fourth quarter.

Stuart led 16-15 in the first period and 25-24 at the break. Allen fought back to lead 35-33 at the end of three periods. The Lady Mustangs then exploded for 21 points in the fourth quarter. Stuart was limited to 11 points and came out on the short end of a 56-44 final score.

Beyla Skelton and Charlea Leonard provided a pair of double-figure scoring performances. Beyla tossed in 16 points while Charlea followed with 13. Hannah Heck just missed double-digit scoring with 9 points. Cheyenne Nickell added 7 points and Sandra Howshar scored 6. Kennnedy Prentice and Miranda Raney finished with 2 points apiece while Alison Sells hit 1 point.

“It was nice to get those last two wins,” said Coach Strong. “We are starting to feel more comfortable on defense and offense. We don’t have to think so much. The girls are able to just go out there and play the game. We are also doing a better job of taking care of the ball.”

Looking ahead, Allen is slated for three games this week.

Allen was set to open the span at home Tuesday with the dangerous Kiowa Cowgirls. The Lady Mustangs will go to Hartshorne on Thursday and then return home for a Friday game with Earlsboro.

“This is a tough, tough schedule,” warns Coach Strong. “We will have to step up and play our best ball to have success this week.”

The Moss tournament began on Thursday with Allen facing the Kiowa Cowboys in the first round. Allen led 14-10 after one quarter and 27-18 at halftime. However, Kiowa outscored the Mustangs 25-11 in the third period to jump in front 43-38. The Cowboys then matched Allen’s 11-point scoring effort in the fourth period to clinch the 5-point win at 54-49.A trio of Allen players scored

in double figures in the narrow loss. Lane Mills was the leader with 14 points. Jaret Holland was one point back at 13. Cole Young added 11 points to join the elite scoring group. The other points included Conner Johnson with 5, Logan Dennis with 4 and Joseph Hopper with 2. “We outscored Kiowa (27-

18) in the first half,” said Coach Mills. “But Kiowa outscored us by 14 in the third quarter and that really hurt. They had one player - McMath - who was hitting 3’s and driving the lane to score on us. That is where the game got away. We ended up losing a close one to them. We suffered from cold

shooting and just couldn’t hit our shots.” The loss dropped Allen into

a must-win game on Friday against the Bowlegs Bison. The Mustang roasted the Bison 72-42 in the consolation semi-finals meeting.It was all Allen in the first

quarter as the Mustangs raced to a lead of 26-6. AHS moved on to a 40-17 advantage going into intermission. The Mustangs then outscored BHS a combined 32-25 in the second half to win by 30 points at 72-42.Allen generated 3 more

double-figure scoring performance against Bowlegs. Jaret Holland led with 14 points while Logan Dennis and Conner Johnson followed with 12 points each. Joseph Hopper and Zayne Erickson scored 8 each while Cole Young chipped in 6. Tommy Peay led the other Mustangs with 5 points. Drew Back scored 3 points while Shawn Rolen and Martin Haney rounded out the total with 2 points.

We are well launched into the new year now and beginning to remember to write the year as 2013. We hope you haven’t had the flu or strep throat and that you haven’t run out of hand sanitizer. If it gets any worse we may just be nodding genially to one another and our visitors during the “greet and welcome” portion of the services.

Upcoming activities are the church dinner next Sunday, January 20th, and the Asso-ciational Rally at Holdenville FBC Sunday evening. Movie Night and a Meal is January 26th at 6:00 P.M. Everyone is invited to attend these.

James and Jake Hammonds, Tom Spillman, and Wyatt Deaton sang “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” as the spe-

cial this Sunday. Rev. Charles Karch’s message was from Mark 6:32-44 and was titled “What Would Jesus Do?”

Asking ourselves what Jesus would do is more than a slogan on a bracelet. In this story of the loaves and fishes we learn that Jesus would feed the hungry. The disciples had a limited vision of the problem and were trying to find a physi-

cal way to handle a spiritual problem. Jesus saw the big picture and when He blesses whatever we have at hand to feed others, it becomes enough to feed everyone generously with food left over.

Yes, Jesus would feed the hungry.

Jesus would also compas-sionately take care of people’s spiritual needs. In Matthew 18:1-9 He teaches us that the greatest of those in the King-dom of Heaven will be those who have learned to trust Jesus in the same way that children

can trust. Like the disciples, adults

usually try to deal with prob-lems with their own strength and resources. Children, on the other hand, rely on adults to take care of them. Jesus wants adults to realize that if we put faith in Him he can and will provide for all our needs. He wants us to depend on him for everything and he will not betray our trust.

What would Jesus do? Let’s ask ourselves that question more often and then follow His example.

Atwood Baptist Church News

Letter to the EditorDear Editor: The month of January marks the annual observance of School

Board Recognition Month – a time to salute the work of school board members and celebrate public education.

The theme of this year’s celebration, “School Boards Make A World Of Difference”, reflects our combined commitment to leadership and accountability assuring that ALL children succeed. In Allen Public Schools, school board members must develop policies and make tough decisions on complex educa-tional and social issues impacting the entire community. They carry out the truest form of representative government in our democracy – volunteer public service, and preserve the core of our democratic land – public education.

Too often we neglect to recognize the dedication and hard work of these men and women who represent us. I invite you to recognize and celebrate the work of your school board members. Invite them out for coffee. Ask how you might help support your local neighborhood school. Drop off cookies at a board meeting. Write your school board members a thank you note. Let them know you appreciate what they do for kids in the Allen Public Schools. The men and women serving Allen Public Schools are Cindy Davis, Lyn Anderson, Robert Hammonds, Jeff Maloy and Frayne Black.

Sincerely,Allen Public Schools

School Board Recognition Month, in January, is celebrated by local and Career Tech school districts in Oklahoma, as over 2700 elected school board members are honored by their schools and community for untiring dedication to school governance.

William David “Bill” Howard, 77, died January 9, 2013. He was born October 19, 1935 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to William and Millie (Bartodej) Howard.

A veteran of the U.S. Army, he was Stage Manager at KOCO television from 1960 – 1990. After retiring from KOCO, he was Stage Manager at OETA from 1990 – 1997. He is perhaps best remembered by the general public as the hilariously quirky “Pokey The Puppet” from the long-running children’s show “Lunch with Ho-Ho.”

He was a loving husband and father, and an irrepressible raconteur who never met a

person he couldn’t regale with a laugh and a smile. He delighted in helping others. He enjoyed working in the yard and traveling the byways of Oklahoma in search of unique people, places and food.

Preceded in death by his parents, he is survived by his wife of 53 years, Louise; daughter (Lisa) Dawn St. Clare and husband Raeyn; son, Chris Howard and wife Mary; brother Don Howard; two grandchildren, Aaron and Cole; two daughters-of-his-heart, Donna Zamaria and Jennifer Dierker; two grandchildren-of-his-heart, Hope and Noah; as well as cousins, nieces, nephews and many friends.

Graveside Services for Mr. Howard were held on Friday, January 11th, at 1:00 PM in the Gerty Cemetery.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, January 19th, at 10:00 a.m. at Mayfair Church of Christ in Oklahoma City. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation to either The American Cancer Society or the Mayfair Church of Christ Building Fund.
