Allen Meet & Greet Tonight

Monday afternoon Storm causes damage in Allen

A sudden downpour with strong winds and hail roared through Allen Monday afternoon. The winds damaged trees which in turn damaged homes in some cases. The top picture is the home of Chris Caldwell where his tree crashed through the house damaging the roof and busting out windows. Bottom picture is the damage to Fred and Barbara Barrett’s trees.

On the lighter side the rain provided a perfect afternoon of fun for Lauren Baber as she waded through the puddles. Estimated rainfall in the two day period was 2 1/2 inches.

Town of Allen offi cial stated that they are in the process of picking up limbs that are placed on the curbs of homes.

First Grade is an exciting place and these Calvin students are looking forward to a great year. Pictured are (front) Samaria Burke, Anna Muck, Tavia Bear and Kaden Howell; (back) Elijah Allison, Cody Schmidt, Zander Brown and Justin Pembrook.

Looking forward to their last year at Calvin High are (left to right) Zachary Laurent, Jeremiah Wiley and Robert Attkisson, all members of the CHS Class of 2014.

THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, AUGUST 15, 2013-PAGE 2

School has started and we know that makes one group of folks very happy . . . the parents.

It seems like only yesterday that I was beginning my fi rst year of school. It is hard to believe that I will celebrate by 50th class reunion in just two years. Ken Tate remembers education in the good old days . . .

“Marms, masters and other friends helped all of us through our years of education back in the Good Old Days. However, sometimes I think we schoolchildren may have had as great an infl uence on their lives as they have had on ours.

When I think of the teachers who tried to round off a few of my rough edges, I remember my prim and proper fourth-grade teacher. The memory always makes me smile.

Grandma Stamps was a profound infl uence on my life in many ways. She explained the deeper mysteries of life like why the morning glories close up with the heat of the day. She laid the groundwork for good nutrition and health living. (“Eat your peas – and if you touch my snuff can again, if it don’t stunt your growth, I will!”). One of the ways she infl uenced me was in my early speech patterns, sometimes to the chagrin of parents and, later, teachers.

As a big, strapping boy of 8 entering the fourth grade, I en-countered a teacher unaccustomed to the country dialect of her charges. Headed out to heed the call of nature one rainy autumn morning, I explained to her that I needed to go but that I would be back “dreckly.”

“Dreckly?” she retorted. “What is dreckly?” “You know, I’ll be back pretty quick, soon – dreckly!” I wasn’t

going to be disrespectful, but my need to get to the backhouse was quickly overshadowing my need to explain the fi ner points of hill-folk speech. Finally she relented and I hurried out of the room.

“Grandma Stamps always said ‘dreckly,’” I explained to my teacher when I returned to the building. After some thought and discussion, she ascertained that Grandma and I were saying ‘directly.’ “You meant to say you would be back di-rect-ly.” she enunciated.

“What’s that mean?” I countered. “You know, pretty quick, soon – dreckly!” she said in frustra-

tion. The year with that school marm was a challenge to both of

us. She was constantly waging a battle to understand some of my phraseology – and to change what she could. She explained that a ‘fur piece’ was a lady’s wrap, not a long way to walk. She took out a map of the area to point out to me that my favorite swimming hole was on Barren Fork, not ‘Barn Fork’, as I had learned it. She squinted, frowned and tapped her foot through many of Grandma’s little malapropisms brought to school in the form of this stubborn little country kid.

I suppose she was the fi rst step in my loss of Grandma’s in-fl uence in that part of my life. Leaving it behind, I think I was made poorer. I never passed any of those Grandmaisms on to my own children. All in the name of good English and gram-mar – what a pity.

Well, it’s pretty warm today. I think I’ll mosey on down to that swimming hole on Barn Fork. It’s a fur piece, but I reckon I’ll be there dreckly.

There are a few things I’ll probably hang on to the rest of my life – despite all the hard work of those marms, masters and other friends in my little country schoolhouse.

—CC—

It has been a long time since I heard the term “schoolmarm” but here is a great poem about them . . .

Old Schoolmarms

I can see the old brick schoolhousethrough the mists of bygone days

Where I struggled with my learnin’in a muddled mental haze,

And that valiant corps of “schoolmarms”(bless each patient, faithful way).How I’d love to thumb the pages

back, and see them all today.

Oh, their work was never easy –they were martyrs to their trade,

For their job was just commencingwith the groundwork that they laid,Teaching little hands to “scribble” –

moving elfi n minds “to think” –Making “contact” with the brain cells –forging “thought chains” link by link‘Til the raw “galoot-like” substance

fi nally showed a tiny spark.And then fl amed upon the tinder

of the soul-engulfi ng dark.

Do you ever dream you see them –you who never can go back

To those gold-encompassed school daysdown the weather-beaten track

Where, as kids, we played togetherat those games we knew so well,

“Getting late” in breathless wonder –‘cause we didn’t hear the bell?

And assorted herd of urchins allstampeding with a rush,

Then, with sharp command, “the ogre”brought the discord to a hush!

There are echoes from the distancewhere those voices once were heard,

There’s an odd, nostalgic feelingfor each mellow, muted word,

And I sit in meditation of thosedays that could not last,

Weaving rosy robes of fancy forthe shoulders of the past.

Ah, the years have slipped beyondus – ever moving – ever free –Leaving pictures to be painted

from an aging memory.

Books are only written records ofthe things already done!

To extend that written knowledgeis a goal for everyone!

And the teachers of the nation –loyal navigators all –

Try to “chart” the course we’ll follow –from the classroom down the hall.

Some will lend unguessed achievementto the history of the age –

Some will place their own impressionson the record’s printed page.

But, in fancy I go roving throughthe mists of bygone days

To a place where once I struggledin a muddled, mental haze.

Will you harken now, I wonder,even though it seems quite lateAnd the “ink of time” is fadingfor we soon may “graduate?”

Let me write upon the blackboardjust once more before we part,

“God bless those valiant teachersfrom the bottom of my heart!”

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The hopes of the 2013 Allen High School football season will rest on one critical factor.

“We have to avoid injuries to our front-line players,” said Al-len head coach Kenny Deaton. “We have to stay healthy. If we can avoid those injuries, we have a chance to be a pretty good football team. But if we see some of those (fi rst-team players) lost to injuries, it could be a pretty bad situation for us.”

The primary concern for Coach Deaton and his staff is the razor-thin roster of Mus-tang players.

“We had 21 come out today for our fi rst practice,” the vet-

Mustangs ‘in the hunt’ for playoff spot in 2013eran football coach said. “We may pick up two or three more when school starts on Friday. But, for now, we don’t have much depth at any position on the team. Last year, injuries hit us hard and really did us in. Some years are like that, where you have a bunch of injuries. I sure hope this year is not one of those years. We don’t want it to be the same song, second verse!”

The fi rst chance to add to his player total will mostly likely be on Friday.

“We start classes on Friday,” Coach Deaton said. “That’s when the kids get back to school. Sometimes we’ll pick up a couple of players. Friday will also be our fi rst day of

pads and full-contact practice. We’ll have 2-a-day practices Monday through Thursday and then start afternoon practices when school opens.”

As for the upcoming season, Allen will once again compete in District B-2. The 10-team league will provide the Mus-tangs with nine opponents during the 10-game regular-season schedule.

The popular VYPE has pro-jected the Alex Longhorns as the clear favorite to win the district championship in No-vember. The Longhorns are coming off an impressive 9-2 campaign in 2012. An upset by the Garber Wolverines derailed Alex from a possible deep run in the playoffs.

VYPE has Alex has the No. 2 team in Class B this year. The only team above the Long-horns in the preseason ballot-ing is Wetumka.

Despite Alex being a favorite, the Longhorns have no guaran-tee of claiming the B-2 title. That’s because the dangerous Fox Foxes play in the same league. Fox is chosen second in the district and fourth overall in the state. The Foxes were a rock-solid 12-1 before falling to Pond-Creek Hunter in the state semi-fi nals.

Most folks believe the Alex and Fox are clear favorites to dominate the 10-day district race. Luckily for Alex, the Longhorns will get to host Fox

in their pivotal showdown on Sept. 20.

Coach Deaton does not dis-agree with the experts who predict a 2-team race for the top district fi nish.

“That is the way it is this year,” the Allen boss said.

“Alex and Fox should be at the top (of the pre-season rank-ings). They should be the top two. Both of them return a lot of kids. Both are highly ranked and should be there. They have good teams and they will be a

by Cleo Emerson LeVally I know we have a lot of hot days in the summer time but I seem to remember (and that is what I used to think was unique in Okla-homa), there always seemed to be a breeze with it. I do not remem-ber it being so uncomfortable as the heat this summer has been. On these August days when the thermometer has read well over a hundred, there has been no breeze to help endure the hot days.

Also another thing that helped when I was growing up, was that my uncle had land that joined ours and there was a creek run-ning though it that had springs of water bubbling up all through it and there were minnows by the dozens always swimming in

that cool water. We spend a lot of time across the fence. We played in that water, trying to catch the minnows. What fun. There was also a large pond that he had built and we always ended up having a swim. We weren’t too aware of the heat on those days.

There was a public pool in town but it never occurred to us to walk that mile to it when we had something that was much better just over the fence.

Another summer after I became an adult, we were in Charleston, South Carolina for a month in August. They were having a heat wave and no one was on the streets or in the shopping malls during the day. The temperature

ran about 88 to 90 degrees each day, but there was not one breath of wind. It was very, very un-comfortable. The tobacco fields were drying up and they were suffering.

When I got back to Oklahoma, I really did appreciate even the slight breezes we had when the temperature was so high. These hot summer days when we have no small breeze, I remember that summer and how everyone suf-fered there.

Sometimes in August we have a cool wave come through. I hope it comes through soon as school is going to start and we need a break from days like we are hav-ing now.

NEW!

My grandpa, J. T. Bullard, who was raised up in a hard work and little play ethic mi-grated to Oklahoma around 1903. In later years his idea of a generous vacation time for his 7 boys and 2 girls was a wagon trip to the “Push” (aka Fourche Maline Creek) and camp out for a few days while doing some serious fi shing. I’m not even sure he completely approved of that. One thing for sure, years later after I came into his “radar” he had taken to eyeing presiden-tial vacation time with an evil eye.

He was the only person I ever had heard of that didn’t like Franklin D. Roosevelt. For one thing J. T. felt FDR spent too much time on the road—the railroad in particu-lar. FDR made a lot of trips for those times and traveled in a private rail car which I’m sure was more comfort-able than the “Dinky” that ran through Allen during that period. Grandpa especially begrudged Roosevelt’s vaca-tioning up on the east coast at Hyde Park or down in Georgia at Hot Springs.

Truman didn’t vacation much and I don’t recall J. T. complaining about old Harry. But then came along a guy

named Dwight D. Eisenhower. Nothing was more worthless and time wasting than golf and “Ike” loved to play golf. Many was the time I would see grandpa listening to his radio and when the announcer got around to talking about the President’s golf game he would just shake his head. “I can’t understand why we pay him so much money and let him live in that fancy White House just so he can play golf,” he would say. I couldn’t help wonder-ing today what grandpa would think of Mr. Obama.

B. Obama just left out for Martha’s Vineyard up in Mas-sachusetts for 8 days more of vacation. He took the presi-dential plane leaving behind all the high profile debates over the budget, government surveillance and his health care reforms. He will spend the next few days not only playing golf, but going to the beach, playing basketball, and it’s said he will be shopping at the Bunch of Grapes bookstore.

He brought Michelle along (she wore a yellow summer dress) while he wore Khakis and a blue shirt. Also, he brought Bo (his dog) and 70 se-

cret servicemen. I don’t know how the secret service got up there but one was carrying 2 large mesh bags of presidential basketballs. The 70 guys are staying in 70 hotel rooms, each costing $345 bucks a night. It didn’t say where the dog will sleep but he was fl own up in his own special plane called an Osprey, a hybrid aircraft which takes off like a helicopter but fl ies like a plane. It is a large 4-engine troop transport. I hope Bo enjoys his high dollar ride.

Tight fi nances may have put a little squeeze on the presi-dent. He previously stayed at the 28-acre Blue Heron Farm, but it recently sold to a rich architect Baron Foster of Eng-land. This time he is making do in the $7.6 Million mansion owned by a businessman friend from (where?) Chicago. It has a nice basketball court too but sadly, the place is on a public road.

Nearby residents will find their “public” road closed. Lo-cal newspapers warn residents not to complain to the City but just call the White House about not being able to go home. Jay Carney, White House spokes-

man, said that people shouldn’t sweat it so much, that the president needs and is looking forward very much to some down time with his family and friends. Oh well—Just let grandpa spin in his grave.

I hope all of you have a good

week and when you travel don’t close any public streets for 8 days. Don’t forget to go to church next Sunday and thanks to those who write. I enjoy hearing from readers.

Did you see what Chief Holcomb wrote in last week’s Allen Advocate? Maybe he should consider doing some preaching!! He wrote, “I know that values are not being taught to children as much now as it used to be and that some children have no real parent fi gure to keep them in line or the ones they have don’t care what they’re doing.” Let’s all say “Amen!”

God commands parents to “Train up a child in the way he should go.” (Prov 22:6) How-ever, it seems that in our society where many do not have faith in the teaching of the Bible, we are simply allowing children to freely express themselves and find their own way without any guidance. The dominate philosophy today seems to be to encourage “self-expression” and “creativity” in children. Surely, this leads to disregard for established norms of behav-ior and conduct. Haven’t you seen children being allowed to disrespect their own parents and others as parents tolerate or pass over the disobedience of their children? The fi rst thing that children should be taught is to honor and obey their parents “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

(Eph 6:1-3) When children are not taught reverence for the authority of parents, they will, in all probability, grow up without respect for all author-ity, including God’s. From their first moments of understanding anything, children should be taught that they did not receive their ex-istence from themselves, but from God, through their par-ents. They should understand that they exist by the power of God; for His purposes and that happiness in life will be found in submission in obedience to Him – not in doing their own thing and expression of their own desires or seeking their own pleasures. We are here to “Fear God and keep His commandments” (Eccl 12:13)

Congratulations to Chase Graves, son of Frank and Lisa (Wallace) Graves, grandson of

of Sonny and Wilyene Wallace, for his recent win in Tunica, Mississippi. Chase, who is 14 and will be a high school fresh-man this year, won a 2013 Dodge Ram 3500 quad cab pickup at the Brother-in-Laws Productions Roping for being the High Point Winner. He competed against 1400 other teams.

Chase was 13 years old at the time of the roping.

Chase has also won the Mis-sissippi State Team Roping in Hattiesburg, Mississippi at the junior high level, which qualified him for nationals. The Nationals contest was held in Red Rock State Park, Gallup, New Mexico on June 23-29th. Approximately 940 contestants from all 50 states and other countries competed. Chase was entered in five differ-ent events: tie-down calf roping,

chute dogging, boys’ goat tying, team roping, and ribbon roping.

Chase and his partner, Kash Miller of Mize, Mississippi, won the National Junior High school Rodeo Finals Team Roping.

Based on their two-head aver-age times, the top 20 contestants advanced to the short round where they competed in front of a packed house and cameras from RFD-TV’s Rodeo Tour. The

National Champions were deter-mined by their three-head average times and awards earned included college scholarships, custom Gist Silversmith buckles, and products such as Cinch jeans and shirts, Ariat boots, Resistal hats, Professionals’ Choice, Tod Slone saddles, and much more.

First, let me thank the Atwood Nazarenes for writing the At-wood Baptist news last week. They certainly did a nice job. In fact, I couldn’t have written it better myself!

The next thing we have to do is solve the mystery of who the undercover spy in the Baptist church is. Operating under the theory that it is sure to be the least likely suspect, I’m thinking it is the preacher’s wife, Teressa Karch. And she just may be assisted by her daughter, Katessa Crase. I don’t know how they managed to take notes while juggling the young ‘uns, but there must have been a way.

Note to myself: such is the way rumors start and grow! It’s been awhile since the newspaper has had a mix-up between

our two churches, and it’s actually kind of fun to have something to jog us all up a bit.

Remember that our Back to School Bash will be held in a couple of weeks. There’s been a change in what was reported last week. (Uh…the Nazarenes got it mixed up I guess.) The set-up and water slide practice will be on Friday, the 23rd, and the main event will be on Saturday, the 24th.

The Wednesday After School Program is scheduled to begin again on September 4th. The times are the same—4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. Also, Bible teaching and help with school homework will be part of the program. All area children in grades K-7 are welcome to attend.

I suppose no one wanted to try to follow Tom’s special last week so our special music was the congregational hymns, with “I’ll Fly Away” first on the song schedule.

Rev. Karch’s message was titled “Strength and Protection from God,” and was taken from Isaiah 40:6-8; 40:30,31; and 41:9-15.

There comes a time when even a young person’s strength be-gins to fade. Anyone who waits on God, though, will find their strength so renewed that they can soar like an eagle.

When Christians grow weary they can depend on God’s strength and direction to enable them to find that second wind athletes experience so that they can continue to serve, and to serve victoriously. God chose us to be his servants and promises to give us what we need to succeed.

God holds our hand and tells us not to fear so we don’t need to fear anyone. With God, we become as strong as newly sharpened threshing machines. Those who oppose Christ’s servants will fail and disappear.

Like all people, there comes a time when Christians pass on into eternity. The Bible compares our presence on earth as like the grass that dies and withers away. However, it is good to know that the people we win to Christ will win other people to Christ, and as each of them win more people the numbers con-tinue to expand. Our witness can begin a chain of witnessing that wins thousands to the Lord.

That thought is so inspiring that you may want to soar like an eagle!

After nearly 18 years of serving on the Board of Directors for Hughes County RWD#6, Donald Huffstutlar is retiring off the Board.

Donald was put on the Board in 1995 as a Director. He served as the Board’s Secretary/Treasurer from 1996 to 2002, as Vice-Chairman from 2002 to 2006, and as Chairman for the Board from 2006 to 2010. Donald has currently been serving as Di-rector. Over the course of these many years, Don has worked diligently to see that the District’s members receive quality water at an affordable price.

Donald is the longest serving member of the Board. He will be greatly missed by his fellow Directors and staff, and we wish him the best.

Huffstutlar Retires from RWD 6 Board

School is beginning and the kids are excited. Everyone is looking forward to seeing their friends. We welcome all the children to church and have a service just for them each Sunday. It’s amazing how much these little ones can learn. They love to sing the Bible songs and hear the Bible stories.

Our special this Sunday, “What You Gonna Do When the Lord Comes?”, was sung by Wayne. A catchy little song with a good message.

Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from Psalm 33:12-22 and entitled “Blessed are Those Who are Trusting God.” God is looking to bestow his blessings upon the faithful. God has cho-sen to bless those who trust in Him. Israel was a nation chosen by God to receive His blessings. They were to be an example to the world of God’s love. As long as they were true to Him, they would be blessed. God is watching men and nations. He is quite aware of all that is happening in the world. He knows what is going on in the nations. He also knows what is going on in our lives. God considers our actions. He will bless those who are humble, contrite and faithful. He will bless those who are faithful and judge those who are not.

We must trust in Him, not our own power or abilities. God allows nations to become great and powerful. God blesses na-tions and people that seek Him. Nations that forget Him will soon fi nd themselves in great trouble. No military can prevail if God turns upon a nation. We must seek to be a godly people if we are to receive God’s protection. God’s blessing will only come as we seek him. God’s eyes are upon His people. God has dedicated Himself to those who are trusting Him.

Coach Kenny Deaton is expecting wide open race after B-2 powers Alex & Foxhandful for everyone else in our district.”

Coach Deaton and VYPE do part ways in the rankings for the other eight teams in B-2.

“After the top two, I believe the third and fourth place spots are up for grabs,” he said. “Paoli has a pretty good team, but not the same way as those first two teams. They are not world-beaters and it should be a fairly wide-open competition between all these other teams, including us.”

For the record, VYPE has selected Paoli Pugs to finish in third place. Central Marlow

Bronchos are favored to come in fourth – which would mean Alex, Fox, Paoli and Central Marlow would represent B-2 in Week 11 to start the playoffs.

VYPE expects Cyril Pirates to come in fifth and just out of the playoff picture. The Waurika Eagles are placed in the sixth spot in the projected standings. The OCA Eagles are tabbed to end up in seventh place.

The poll finally gets to the Allen Mustangs for the eighth place. Overall, Allen is ranked No. 27 in the field of 39 schools

playing in Class B football.The only teams expected to

end up below Allen in the final standings are the Geary Bison in ninth place and the Ma-comb Hornets in 10th. Geary is ranked No. 33 and Macomb is three slots down the list at No. 36.

The bottom three schools in Class B, according to the poll, are Strother at No. 37, Copan at No. 38 and Waukomis at No. 39.

As for Coach Deaton, the non-district schools are of no immediate concern - expect for season-opener No. 1 We-tumka. It is the district picture that he feels will be different than what the magazine is projecting.

“After you get past the top two in Alex and Fox, I believe any of the other teams can beat the others on a given night. Anyone except the top two can play with anyone else. That is how I think it will work for all of us this season. The team that can avoid those injuries has a chance to get one of those four playoff spots. Of course we want to be one of those four teams that make it. To do that, we have to avoid the injuries. Our margin for error is less than most of the teams due to our lack of depth this season. “

The one thing that really impressed the coach Monday was the excellent condition his players displayed when they reported for 2-a-day work-outs.

“They are in peak condition physically,” he said. “But I was not surprised to see that from them. We had been averag-ing 17 players at our summer workouts. They reported in good shape and everything went smoothly. Now, we just need to keep them healthy and see what we can do this season. We want to play it out and see how it goes.”

Coach Deaton also wants to remind all the parents of Al-len’s high school and junior high about a special event planned in their honor. Come out to the Allen Masonic Lodge for the 8 p.m. event.

“We will have a ‘Meet-The-Parents’ Night on Friday, August 16th,” he said. “The coaches will cook hotdogs and we hope to see all those parents come out for the evening. We’ll have a meeting to discuss with them what we expect from them and their children. We’ll try to answer any questions they might have for us. It will be very important and it should be a fun event.”
