“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is

pleased!”

Saturday, December 14th, was a busy day in Allen . . . especially for Santa!

That jolly old man arrived on the fire truck at 3:00 pm and made his way to a specially made chair in the Memory Lane gazebo.

There he took requests and vis-ited with area children. He gave each youngster a bag of candy, courtesy of the Allen Chamber of Commerce, and then contin-ued on his way to the Woodland Hills Nursing Home. He took

time with each resident and staff member, distributed fruit to the residents, and then boarded the truck to travel back to his sleigh for the return trip to the North Pole.

While he was bringing joy to the WHNH residents, locals gath-ered at the Allen Food Center with the tickets they had acquired from the Chamber’s “Shop at Home” campaign with high hope of tak-ing home the new TV or one of the other prizes.

It took several draws to get the winners, but taking home a handmade clock donated by Charles and Betty Speir was Jewel Rocha; and winner of the $50 gift certificate, donated by the Allen Food Center, was Dorothy Knighten. The grand prize, a 42” LED TV, went home with David Morrison.

Also announced were winners of the lighting contest. First place and $100 in Allen Bucks went to Brad and Vanessa Scroggins; second place and $75 went to Pete and Barbara Joiner; and Mike and Kelly Todd won 3rd place and $50.

The Allen Chamber and local merchants thank all area residents for their loyalty in shopping at home. It is this support that enables them to provide these Christmas give-aways as well as the annual Easter Egg Hunt, the Veterans’ Dinner on Memorial Day, and Customer Appreciation Day in June.

Looks like Debbie Scott and Santa had a great time at the Woodland Hills Christmas party.

Anyone as pretty as T.K. Mowdy has had to be good all year .

Santa loves kids of all ages and William Harden probably had a lengthy wish list to share.

Pay attention, Santa, Hattie Giacomo has things to tell you . . .

Three generation were at the Woodland Hills party and shared a visit with Santa. Pictured, left to right, with Santa are Holly Woods, Dylanee McCarroll, Shaylee Hopkins and DeeAnn Jensen.

HELP! HELP! This weird man in a red suit has a hold of me! Lauren Baber wasn’t happy this year but we’re sure by next year Santa will be high on her list of favorite people.

Christmas is a great time for families to be together and this year was special for Johnny Frederick as his wife, Wanda, and grandkids, Pam and Daniel Crabtree, joined him for the party at Woodland Hills.

Kierra Frederick was happy to sit on Santa’s knee and tell him what she wants for Christmas this year.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Gerty and Non Christmas event. It was a great evening and I really enjoyed the visit.

Some of the “old timers” in those communities might rec-ognize a few of the names in this article I recently found from a 1934 newspaper.

—CC— Christmas is not what it used

to be . . . all of us have heard that and most of us have said it.

It might surprise you to know that they were saying the same thing over one hundred years ago. This is from an 1899 edition of The Ladies Home Journal.

There must some radical and growing departure from the right and best way of celebrating

Christmas when each recurring year we hear a larger number of men saying, “Well, I’ll be truly thankful when this Christmas business is over.” And they are led to this remark generally see-ing their wives, mothers, sisters or daughters reach Christmas Day utterly tired out, with the prospect of a siege of illness as soon as Christmas is over. And it must be confessed that this state of af-fairs exists in thousands of homes. Women themselves frequently acknowledge their satisfaction when the day is over. Now, there

is always something wrong when we make a burden of our plea-sures. And if one of our sources of pleasure in the calendar’s greatest gala day is derived from a feeling of thankfulness that it is over, there is something askew either in the way we prepare for, or spend, the day.

The work of celebrating Christ-mas falls, for the main part, on women. Men think that they do their share if they provide the money for the Christmas pur-chases, and sparingly assist in the selection of an occasional present.

Santa and his friend Wakeita Williams shared a visit at Woodland Hills.

And I suppose it is just as well that the buying of Christmas presents is not by custom delegated to men. For of all spectacles, a man deep in the problem of selecting a Christmas gift, especially one for a woman, is always the most in-teresting imaginable. One way of simplifying Christmas might be to let me buy all the presents. But I fear that if this were the case, the number of Christmas presents and Christmas merchants would soon be materially decreased. So after all, these duties have been pretty wisely placed in the hands best adapted to handle them. Yet the growing number of women who each year tire themselves out preparing for Christmas and reach the day itself unfit to enjoy it properly, seems to indicate that sooner or later, if we go on, we shall reach the other extreme and abuse Christmas by overdoing its celebration. And if we look into the matter, we may find that we are complicating Christmas a bit and making it exactly the reverse of what the day really stands for.

Christmas should be a time to enjoy . . . not a day to be en-dured.

—CC— Jonathan Ames writes . . . There are many upsetting things

about the Christmas and New Year’s season—increased credit-card debt, unresolved decades-long family pain, the spiritual vacuum at the core of our culture, trying to get into the spirit of things when you secretly wish that you knew Dr. Kevorkian’s home phone number—but ex-posure to bad breath is definitely high on the list.

I recently went to eight Christ-mas parties in seven days and I was assaulted with so much bad breath that I feel I’ve gone through four years’ worth of dental school and I’m ready to hang a shingle. I imagine that must be one of the first things dentists have to be trained for and screened for—ability to withstand halitosis. There’s probably some kind of machine they put young dentists in front of which blows bad-breath fragrances into their faces until they’re immune, kind of like what they did to that fel-

low in Clockwork Orange, but in reverse. And the dentists who can’t take the machine are weeded out and urged to find another field, but certainly not proctology.

Proctologists for some reason aren’t the butt of too many jokes – because we feel bad for them? – but we always make fun of den-tists. Yet have we ever put our-selves in their green smocks and crepe shoes? Just think of what they go through on a daily basis! Garlic breath! Onion breath! Rotting-gum breath! Dull-person breath!

I certainly couldn’t be a dentist in America or Sweden. I was so sickened by this one fellow’s pâté-breath at one of the Christ-mas party, I had to leave early. Later that night—around 3 a.m. —I bolted upright in my bed at the memory of it and couldn’t fall back to sleep. I replayed the thing, like a barroom fight. A barroom fight that I had lost. The fellow had insisted on crowding me—we were in the kitchen of our mutual friend’s home and he had me up against the sink, which was pressing on my sciatic nerve, further paralyzing me.

I should mention that this pâté-fiend had suffered some kind of injury to his larynx as a child and this forces him to whisper all the time, and at this party, which was very loud with the shriek-ings of overweight children and the gargling noises of alcoholics’ tipping beers down their throats, he had to get right on top of me to be heard. He was like a boxer getting another boxer against the ropes, but instead of jabs and uppercuts he was scorching my face with such a fierce aroma of partially digested pâté and still-being-chewed pâté that I was sorely tempted to behave in an antisocial manner and say:

“Listen, you’re completely unaware of this, lost in the cloud cover of your own id, but you’re giving me a second-degree burn with this pâté-breath of yours and I used to sort of like you, but I now feel such repulsion and dislike toward your person that I will snub you for the rest of eternity.”

But I didn’t say any such thing.

I just took a beating and applied the St. Francis prayer: Better to understand than to be under-stood, better to forgive than be forgiven.

What made the moment a little postmodern, despite my use of an old prayer, was that not only was the fellow in question vaporizing me with pâté, he was speaking to me about pâté.

“What is pâté?” he had asked, as he shoved a loaded cracker like a cannonball into his mouth.

“Liver,” I squeaked.“Really? I don’t like liver, but

this stuff is great,” he said, firing the cannonball.

“Yes, it’s very popular,” I as-pirated.

“Is it chicken liver?”“Most likely, though sometimes

it’s duck liver,” I gasped.Then I thought of a pretty duck

floating around in some toxic pond and how the liver filters poison and that I was now breath-ing in pureed crushed poison that some pretty duck had once ab-sorbed before being slaughtered.

“Excuse me,” I then said to him, the vision of this duck floating through my mind, “but I have to go…”

That, I have to say, was prob-ably the zenith of the bad breath I encountered during my holiday party sojourn. After that it was mostly just a lot of bad wine-breath with an occasional kind of universal sour-cheese smell emanating from certain people.

Naturally, I was worried about my own breath at all these par-ties and was trying to chew a lot of mints and I was rigorously avoiding hors d’oeuvres, which often come loaded with breath-sabotaging ingredients.

At another party a rather slob-bish fellow spit food directly into my mouth! For some reason my own mouth was open – just for a second, I guess; it was a freak accident – and a particle of food shot right out of him and onto my tongue! It was so disgusting. We both pretended it hadn’t hap-pened, but I was deeply mortified and hard to swallow the thing like the bitterest of pills.

A few year ago, some kind of

white spittle shot out of a person’s mouth and attached itself to my cheek and slid down, and we both pretended this had not happened, but having food shot into my mouth was even worse than that white-spittle exchange. When I got home I took three vitamin Cs instead of the recommended dosage of one, and I gargled ex-cessively with Listerine.

At another party the ceilings were very high and I didn’t en-counter any bad breath. As this miracle was unfolding, I won-dered if the high ceilings had something to do with it, or was bad-breath random, like all other components of the universe? I mean what are the chances of having fifteen meaningless con-versations at a Christmas party and not encountering one case

of halitosis? But then again, this makes perfect beautiful sense—after all, miracles are what this season is all about.

—CC— And last of all, my favorite

Christmas story of the week shared by Neil Scott.

My wife and I took our six-year-old nephew, Nicholas, to see Santa. While waiting in line, we remarked that both he and Santa had the same first name. When Nicky’s turn came, he enthusias-tically climbed up onto Santa’s knee.

“What’s your name?” Santa asked.

“The same as yours,” the young-ster replied.

“Well, isn’t that nice,” said the tired and harried Santa. “And what would you like for Christ-mas, Leonard?”

Due to last week’s winter storm followed by days of continued cold and icy conditions, PSO meter readers were not able to read the meters on their regular routes during the worst of the weather. As a result, approximately 10-15 percent of PSO customers in the coming days will receive an estimated bill.

“Many streets and roads across PSO’s service area have been treacherous at times, and in some cases, completely impassable since the storm began,” said Derek Lewellen, PSO manager of gridSMART and Meter Revenue Operations. “It’s a rarity that our meter readers are not able to get out to read their routes. But for the safety of our customers and our employees, we felt it best to adhere to the warnings of public safety officials across the state

and limit our driving as much as possible.”

Lewellen said most meter reading routes were suspended for four or five days, beginning Friday, December 6th. With few exceptions, all routes are being read again.

Customers whose meters normally would have been read while road conditions were at their worst will begin receiving their bills in the next few days. The bill will indicate whether the reading is an actual or estimated reading.

Customers whose meter readings are estimated this month will be read next month.

Customers who receive an estimated bill and have questions about the estimate should call PSO’s Customer Solutions Center at 1-888-216-3523.

by Cleo Emerson LeVallyI have the children’s sermon

at our church each Sunday morning. I have been talking to them about taking responsibil-ity for their actions and learn to spot things that need to be done at their home and in the neigh-borhood where they live.

Last Sunday I gave them an envelop with money in it.

I asked them to look around their home and find things they can do to help. It could be keeping their rooms neat and clean, helping with chores around the house and also to look around their neighbor-hood and do things they can see that would help to keep the

area around where they live, to be better. There is trash on the streets and, perhaps they can help a neighbor carry grocer-ies, walk a neighbors dog, etc. I asked them to keep a record on the envelope of the things they could find to do to help. Each time they wanted to spend the money in the envelope and did a good deed, to make a note of it on the envelope and not to spend the money as they first wanted to.

I want them to come back in six months with a list of things they did, written on that enve-lope. The thought behind this was to help them to be respon-sible citizens of the area where they live, and in years to come, they will remember the good deeds they did and the reward they received for learning this lesson will be the memories in years to come. At that time I plan to match the money they still have in that envelope. That

will be their reward now, but the reward of the memories of that six months will live on with them.

I have not done as much as I could to help people through the years, however, I do have a lot of good memories. I re-member that on one trip to Cal-ifornia, we stopped at a service station and found a family, the car loaded down with all their worldly possessions, and the car had a flat tire. They were on their way to California, hoping to find work. They had run out of money and could not pay to have the tire fixed. We paid to have their tire fixed and gave them money to get something to eat. Another memory hap-pened recently. A woman who lives in the north part of town rang my doorbell about 8:30 pm. She had walked from her home and said she needed to get to Okie’s out on the high-

way and she was unable to walk any further. It was very cold and she became tired. She asked if I would take her to finish her errand. Of course, I was happy to help.

Another good memory is when my daughter Phylece, was about seven years old, I went out on the deck about midnight and the sky was com-pletely covered with a mass of stars. I had never seen anything like it and went in and got her out of bed and took her outside to see this starry display. She reminded me of it years later and thanked me for getting her out of bed to see the sky like that. I have never since seen a display like the one we saw that night. We both cherish the memory.

I have many other memories that I cherish. I only hope to give the young people of my church a way to make memo-ries of their own, and one that they will cherish in years to come.

Graveside services for Clif-ford Eugene Cox, 76, of Allen were 10:00 a.m. Saturday, December 14th, at the Allen Cemetery, Revs. Phillip Vinson and Joyce Cook will officiate.

Mr. Cox died Thursday, De-cember 12, 2013, at his home. He was born September 8, 1937 in Allen, Oklahoma to Ray and Zellah Warren Cox.

He moved back to the Ada and Allen area from California several years ago.

Mr. Cox was a cook at sev-eral restaurants in Ada includ-ing the Parkview Café and later a cook in Allen.

Survivors include a brother, Raymond Cox of Lone Oak, Arkansas; a sister, Abigail Miller of Ada; several nieces,

nephews, cousins and other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Able and James Cox; a half-sister, Pauline Langston; and a half-brother, Jewel Cox.

Directions were under the direction of Criswell Funeral Home, Ada.

Rites held for Eugene Cox

We’ve already had enough ice, snow, and cold weather for an entire year, and winter isn’t even officially here yet! Who ever heard of so many snow days between Thanksgiving and Christmas? It may mean the schools will be taking a half-day off for the 4th of July, but I’m sure the kids have en-joyed things so far.

The children’s classes opened the services this week by sing-ing “Away in a Manger” and “Jingle Bells.’ Not to be out-done, James Hammonds, ac-companied by Tom Spillman and Wyatt Deaton, sang “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” as the special music selection. It just proves that people of all ages want to sing praises to Jesus and have a closer walk with Him.

By the way, “Jingle Bells” comes under the category of “making a joyful noise unto the Lord.”

Rev. Karch’s message didn’t have a title this Sunday, but an English teacher might name it “Jesus: Past Perfect, Present Perfect, and Future Perfect.” The sermon was based on scriptures in Isaiah 9:6,7; Isa-iah 53:1-10; and I Thessalo-nians 4:13-18.

Old Testament scriptures foretold Jesus’ birth, and we can see that His birth and the circumstances that surrounded it completely fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecies.

Isaiah also foretold Jesus’ death and the way it would happen, and those prophecies were perfectly fulfilled, too. What kind of love led Jesus, knowing us for what we are and knowing the way he would die, to leave heaven to come live and die for us? It must be beyond any kind of love that we can ever completely understand.

Since we live in the 21st century, we can see that the

Old Testament prophecies about Jesus were fulfilled. But there’s more. Prophecy in the New Testament says that Jesus will return again and will bring the Believers who “sleep in Jesus” with Him. Those Believers who are alive on earth at that time shall be caught up together with them then to meet the Lord in the air and will then live forever with Him.

If you are a Believer, if you believe that Jesus died for your sins and you have accepted Him as your savior, you will be in one of those two groups. Jesus will be victorious over the world and you will live forever with Him in heaven.

Yes, the day Jesus was born on this earth was a huge deal for us all. May your family’s celebration of His birth be both merry and blessed. Have a Joyous Christmas!

This letter was received this week by our One Pharmacist author, Wayne Bullard, from our old friend Randall Wagner. Mr. Wagner currently resides in a nursing home in Duncan. He has a request from our readers and we’re passing it on.

December 1, 2013Dear Mr. Bullard, I received some information that says Edward Mackey Johnson was born in 1929. I wondered about

James Edward Weldon who gave him a book Oct. 6, 1932 at Allen. His father was Richard L. (Dick) Johnson and his mother was Josephine M. Johnson. Mr. Johnson was Supt at the Sunray Refinery in Al-len and moved to Duncan.

I wondered if there were any people at Allen who remember Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and Mack (Mackey). I would like to hear from anyone who would like to write. How are you? Hope you have a good Christ-mas and New Year. I am still in a Duncan care center.

I was in Ada Hospital three week and wish I could have contacted you. I didn’t have any visitors. Surely would have liked for someone to be there. I think Mack graduated at Allen. I am in a room with a Baptist Missionary which is really good. Hope to hear from you.

Sincerely,Randal Wagner

Christmas, which has been creeping up on us, has now gathered steam and is prac-tically here. Many will be traveling to visit kin and oth-ers, like us, will be staying at home and receiving them. I think I prefer the latter. Last week we drove to Tyler, Texas to attend the graduation of our granddaughter, Julia Runge. Julia graduated from the Uni-versity of Texas at Tyler with honors and we wanted to be there. There was a cold rain falling all the way and parts of North Texas was still in a mess from the ice storms that swept through. But we made it fi ne and had a great time. After Commencement we all

gathered at a restaurant called Bernard’s’ for a celebration meal. We drove back Satur-day.

Most of us made it through the sleet and ice without inci-dent but I have to admit I did take a spill in my driveway and about “brained” myself. I managed to get up and assured the “not all that concerned” crowd that I was OK and we all went to Calvin and watched our girl’s beat Asher in the Pontotoc County Tournament. My wife wants me to go get my head examined but I assured her I am OK. #%@&* Any misspells and typos *@#$%

you may see are not my fault. @$#%*# My head is just fi ne. @##%+.

I ran into two readers in Tyler the other night who said they read my column regularly and said they enjoyed keeping up with happenings up here. Thanks, Sandy and Lisa. I al-ways appreciate hearing from my readers no matter where they are. Also, I got a nice letter from Randall Wagner which I gave to the paper. It may be published here some-place. Randall’s history with Allen goes way back and, in fact, my own history with him is getting to be lengthy.

About 15 years ago Randall wrote me and said he had the Bell from Sunray DX Refi nery here in Allen. He wondered if he could just donate it to the town as he had no use for it. I talked to some of the city fathers and it was during the time we were building the new war memorial and we quickly discovered a place for it. In fact, we designed a place of honor for it. We would get a special truck and tote the bell

to Allen and make a nice home for it. We were still working on the inscription when they asked me how heavy it was. I called Mr. Wagner to see if the rig we had could lift it or not. He felt that it could. “Where is the bell now?” I asked. “Oh I keep it in my china cabinet. It weighs about 3 oz.”

Turned out we were victims of our own imagination as we drastically down-sized our big plans. A presentation ceremo-ny with pictures taken place in the lobby of the Farmer’s State Bank after a few weeks

One Pharmacist’s ViewChristmas Rush and the Bell is in the safe hands

of those bank offi cers. If any of you remember Mr. Wagner or not you can cheer up his Christmas a bit with a note or Christmas card. Randall is in a nursing home. His address is Randall Wagner, 1205 S 4th, Duncan, Ok. 73533.

We have one more edi-tion before Christmas but let me wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and hope each of you stay safe. Don’t neglect the reason for the sea-son. Be sure and go to Church Sunday.

Wayne Bullard, [email protected]

“But it doesn’t matter; grace will cover it!” A certain lady learned that a religious activity she practiced was not found in God’s word, but had originated with uninspired men. But learning that she had believed and practiced error did not disturb her. She said, “But it doesn’t matter; grace will cover it!”

Since we are saved by the grace of God, does that mean it doesn’t matter whether or not we obey God? Since we are saved by the grace of God, does that mean we can live as we please, serve God when or if we please and worship as we please? Since we are saved by the grace of God, does that mean we can establish our own churches, organize them as we please, offer salvation as we please and give them names as we please?

This lady’s comment re-

minded me of the words of the Apostle Paul. Paul had just explained that we are saved by the “abundance of grace” and “the gift of righteousness”through Jesus Christ. (Rom 5:17) He then asks, “What shall we say then? Shall we go on sinning that grace may in-crease?” Paul answered, “By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?”(Romans 6:1-3)

Once we know the truth that God expects us to practice, but we continue in disobedience to God, how can we expect God’s grace to extend to us? How can God not be offended if we will-fully continue sinning when we know the truth? Wouldn’t that be deliberate and willful disobedience to God? The inspired Hebrew writer wrote, “For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifi ce for sin.”(Hebrews 10:26) There is only one sacrifi ce for our sins – Jesus Christ – but if we reject His sacrifi ce by knowingly dis-obeying Him, we have no other means of being saved. If we really have faith in Jesus and trust Him to save us, will we not do whatever He desires?

Sunday was an exciting day for the children. During the worship hour they put on the Christmas play, “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” This play told about the true meaning of Christmas and why so many people are sad this time of the year. Jessie Beck directed the

play and did an outstanding job. The characters were: Charlie, Dylan Sanford; Li-nus, Hannah Brill; Violet, Makenize Smart, Lucy, Mak-enna Barker; Sally, Shelby Grissom; Schroeder, Mon-tana Smart; Snoopy, Health

Frederick, and Frieda, Audra Taylor. The younger children; Sophie Cassell, Kailey Trump, Jennifer Brill, Braydon Smart, Olivia Taylor and Kylie Taylor held the signs and sang and danced with the cast. Kaylee Brill helped with the stage props. Hannah and Shelby

sang” Silent Night. “ Follow-ing the program the children all received gifts from their adopted parents.

Sunday night we had the Community Christmas at the Fire Department. We had a good crowd and everyone en-joyed the music, food, games,

and visiting with Santa. We enjoy getting together with our friends and neighbors.

Invite someone to church this next Sunday. Find a family in need and help them enjoy their Christmas. We have been blessed this year and want to be a blessing to others.

First Graders have long wish

list

Brax Wofford enjoyed reading the book “ The Elf on the Shelf” as he made plans for Christmas.


The 3rd graders at Allen El-ementary were asked to tell us, “if you could buy one gift, what would it be and whom would it be for?” The students in Mrs. Peay and Mrs. Butler’s classes did a good job answer-ing that question . . .

If I could give only one gift, I would give it to Martha. I would get her jewelry because she loves jewelry. When she lived in my old house she covered a whole door with jewelry!

Nicholas Boyles

If I could give only one gift I would choose my Mom. I would give her a new dog be-cause she likes dogs. She is a really good Mom. I am glad to have her. She is really fun.

Zain Tillery

If I could give only one gift, I would choose to give it to Camran. He is my friend but we often see him. But he’s like part of my family. The end.

Clayton Dyer

If I could give only one gift, I would give the gift to my cousin. I would give him a bow because he likes to hunt and he is nice and he lives in Greenwood.

Mahli Herrera

If I could give one gift to only one person, I’d give it to my brother. I would give him a very, very, very big four wheeler that has doors and a roof. He is nice and friendly and caring.

Gary Raney

If I could give only one gift, it would be my sister and it is a necklace and this is the present I will give and she is my sister and special to me.

Macyee Davis

If I could give only one gift, I would give to a kid in Africa. I would love to give them food and water, a lot of it too. I re-ceive every year so I thought it would be nice to give.

Ansley Tollett

If I could give only one gift, I would give it to my cousin that lives in Florida. We have not seen him for a long time but finally I get to. He is the best cousin ever.

Quinton Walker

If I could give only one gift to one person, I would give it to my dad because he took me to Indiana last year and this year I would get my dad a truck, it will be a Chevy 4 wheel drive.

Tagus Howard

If I could give only one gift I would choose my Gramy and Papa. I want to give them a new car, one that doesn’t have to have gas so they can just take off and drive.

Kaylee Ford

If I could give only one Christmas gift, I would give it to my Mom. I would buy her some new clothes. She is nice to me. She cleans after me and she drives me wherever I want to go. I love my Mom.

Kyra Billey

If I could give a special gift to a friend it would be to Abbey S. I would give her an outfit from Justice because she likes clothes and she is really nice and she is a good friend.

Bradi Harman

I would get a Christmas gift for the poor people. It will be clothes for them and their chil-dren too, because they have no money or bank. They can not buy clothes because they are too expensive.

Hunter Boyd

If I could give only one gift, I would give it to Mrs. Peay. I would give her new candles because she is nice.

Heather Simpson

If I could give only one gift, I would give it to my sister that lives in Ada. I would get her a new I-phone because she never had a phone before so I will get her one.

Payton McWethy

If I could give a gift to some-one it would be my uncle. It would be an OSU hat because I love him and he might take me to an OSU football game because he gets season tickets every year.

Mason Riley

If I could give only one Christmas gift, I would give it to my sister. It would be soft boots because when we go to stores, my mom gets stuff for me. But I would get two or three pairs for my sister. I will give her them so she can wear them in winter so her feet will be warm.

Rosa Gabriel

If I could give anyone a gift it would be Madison. It would be a ball because she is my sister.

Hannha Isaac

If I could give any one any gift I would choose God and Son. I would choose God because he loves me and I love him. I would give him a pretty flower. I chose a flower because he made it.

Raney Clay

If I could give anyone any gift, I would choose my big sister because she is the best. I would give her a lollipop with sprinkles on it. I chose a lol-lipop because she is sweet.

Julie Johnson

If I could give any gift I would give it to my mom and I would get her a new Ipad.

Xander Holt

If I could give anyone any gift, I would choose Keenan because he is nice. I would give him a paint set. I would choose a paint set because he likes to draw.

Coyt Bell

Julius Higdon

If I could give anyone a gift it would be my Papa, My Mom and my Dad because I love them and they love me. I would give them a big picture because they mean a lot to me. I am sure it would mean a lot to them too. I also would give them shirts that said “together forever.

Brooklyn Sanders

If I could give anyone any gift, I would choose my babu because I love him. He is the best brother ever in the world. Sometimes he is mean but I still love him. You know you bet-ter watch out. I’m telling you why, he is so snoopy. If I could give him something, it would be my four wheeler because he is so feisty and plus he is a daredevil, by the way. Or I would give him an Ipad Touch because he loves things like that. So now that’s over, I will tell you the best gift ever is Love and that is how that was , oh and seeing his sister that would be a great present. Cool!

Allen Third Graders are GenerousTHE ALLEN ADVOCATE, DECEMBER 19, 2013-PAGE 14

My name is Barbara McPherson; I am running for the Allen School Board position vacated by Lynn Anderson. I am a retired teacher and have lived in Allen for eleven (11) years. My goals are that the students receive the best education possible, nutritional food, and bullying stopped in our schools. I have spent 39 years in education (9½ years in public school, 20 years at the School for the Blind in Muskogee, and worked at CCA Davis Correctional facility in Holdenville for 9 years in the education department).

With the state grading of schools, the elementary received a “C” and high school 1. got an “A”. We have good teachers and they need our support so they can give the students the best education possible. This starts at the administrative level. We need teacher and parent participation at all levels of education.

With obesity at an epidemic level in this country we need to give our young people 2. an opportunity to learn about better food choices. This would give them an opportunity to have a healthier life.

Students going to Allen schools have been bullied starting at the elementary level. 3. This type of activity needs to be eliminated by parent, school, and community. It is called respect for others. I have come to know and have made friends in the community through church, city activities and attending Allen School functions. There is always room for improvements and through public service on the Allen School Board of Education I could maybe make a difference.“Give a person a fish everyday or teach them to fish and they can feed themselves

for a lifetime.”PLEASE VOTE . . .

IT IS OUR RIGHT AND PRIVILEGE IN THIS COUNTRY.

For the Allen Mustangs, there will be no easy stretch heading into the Christmas and New Year’s Day break.

Coach Greg Mills smiles when he reviews this week’s two-game schedule.

“We get Roff on Tuesday and Weleetka on Thursday,” he said. “Yeah, this ought to be fun! Those are two very good teams we’ll be playing before we get to Christmas!”

Last week, Allen played three games in a 4-day span. The Mustangs lost to Roff on Wednesday in the semi-final round of the Pontotoc Confer-ence Tournament at Calvin High School.

On Friday, Allen was back in action with a home date against the New Lima Falcons.

The PC tournament resumed on Saturday. For Allen, that meant a third-place showdown

with the Tupelo Tigers.Allen lost both tournament

games, but did salvage a win in the regular-season contest on Friday evening.

Coach Mills believes the crazy schedule has hindered his team’s progress. The Mus-tangs have suffered due to a lack of practice time. Bas-ketball was delayed due to football playoffs. Even worse, the Mustangs lost about 10 days due to the recent winter storm.

“It’s been tough,” he said. “But, overall, I feel the kids are playing really hard. They are making a few mistakes and not shooting the ball well. We were just dead-legged in the tournament and that’s always going to affect your shooting. It will improve when we get more time in the gym and im-prove our conditioning.”

On Wednesday, Roff dropped the Mustangs 49-38 in the Pon-

totoc Conference Tournament semi-finals. The Tigers built up a 29-19 halftime lead and pressed on to outscore Allen 20-19 in a competitive second half. The result was an 11-point win for Roff, 49-38.

Two Mustangs landed in double figures in scoring in the loss. Tommy Peay scored 13 points and Zayne Erickson added 12. Other offense in-cluded Ty Brown with 4 points and Joseph Hopper, Dakota Nickell and Drew Back all with 3.

On Friday, Allen went back into the regular-season sched-ule to host the New Lima Falcons in varsity basketball action.

Coach Mills watched his Mustangs enter the second half down 22-21. From there, Allen outscored the visitors 30-21 to rally for the 51-43 triumph.

Allen landed four players in double figures in scoring.

Joseph Hopper led the way with 15 points. Zayne Erickson was second on the team with 12 points. Tommy Peay and Ty Brown followed with 10 points each. Dakota Nickell chipped in 3 points while Colby Eaker provided the final point.

On Saturday, Allen went back to Calvin High School to compete in the conference tournament. The Mustangs met the Tupelo Tigers in the third-place game.

The Mustangs fell behind 17-8 in the first quarter. The 9-point deficit proved to be too much to overcome for Allen. AHS outscored the Tigers 30-29 over the final three quarters.

However, that was not enough to erase the big deficit from the initial period. Allen ended up on the short end of the 46-38 final score.

Joseph Hopper finished the game with a team-best 13 points. Zayne Erickson was next on the list with 8 points. Tommy Peay provided 6 points while Dakota Nickell scored 5 and Drew Back scored 4. Colby Eaker rounded out the scoring with 2 points.

Allen walked off the court with a fourth-place finish.

Looking ahead, Coach Mills will use the coming weeks to build up the conditioning to real basketball form. As that process unfolds, the Mustangs will continue to improve.

The Allen Lady Mustangs re-cently captured the runner-up title in the 2013 Pontotoc Confer-ence Tournament at Calvin High School.

Coach Jeremy Strong’s squad took down Stonewall 45-41 in the opening round game. Sopho-more standout Charlea Leon-ard powered the victory with a performance of 21 points and 8 rebounds.

By knocking off Stonewall, Al-len advanced to the tournament semi-finals last Wednesday in the weather-delayed event.

Awaiting the Lady Mustangs in the semi-final showdown were the Asher Lady Indians.

“They were the top-seeded team in the tournament,” said Coach Strong. “They were also ranked No. 6 in the state in Class B basketball.”

Allen stood up to the challenge and delivered an impressive 48-46 victory over the dangerous Asher girls. The path to the win included a great comeback rally by the Lady Mustangs.

Asher trailed 15-14 in the first quarter before storming to a 30-24 lead going into the halftime break.

After intermission, Allen rallied to close the gap to within a point at 37-36.

With the game on the line, the Lady Mustangs stepped up and outscored Asher 12-8 over the final eight minutes.

“It was tied at 46-46,” recalls Coach Strong. “We called time to set up a play. That play didn’t work perfectly but we still got a decent shot.”

The Allen shot missed the mark. However, Leonard was on the back side and perfectly posi-tioned for an offensive rebound. The 5-11 sophomores took the rebound and scored the go-ahead basket with about 7 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Asher went down and, with a couple of seconds to go, fired off a 3-point shot. Luckily for Allen, the potential game-winning trey came up short.

“We batted the ball around a little and ended up with it be-fore time expired,” said Coach Strong.

Allen escaped in the semi-finals with the thrilling 48-46 victory.

Charlea Leonard ended up with a game-high 19 points. She was the only Lady Mustang to score in double figures.

Alison Sells led the other Allen scorers with 8 points. Others who contributed to the win included Miranda Raney with 7 points, Sondra Howshar with 6, and Ken-nedy Prentice and Faith Caldwell with 4 points each.

“It was a good ballgame,” the coach said. “It went back and forth. It was not a perfect game

for either team, but we were able to make enough plays to get out with the win.”

By winning, Allen advanced on to Saturday’s tournament champi-onship game. However, the Lady Mustangs had a non-tournament game to play on Friday evening. The New Lima Falconettes came to Allen High School for a regu-lar-season contest.

Coach Strong’s squad posted a 56-42 win over New Lima. The Lady Mustangs used a strong showing in the second and third quarters to secure the victory.

New Lima led 12-9 at the end of one quarter. Allen countered to outscore the Falconettes 16-6 in the second quarter and 13-6 in the third period. The turn-around lifted the Lady Mustangs to a 38-24 advantage going into the fourth quarter. Allen then matched New Lima’s 18 points to seal off the 56-42 win.

Charlea Leonard was once again the driving force in the game. Leonard scored 16 points and pulled down 10 rebounds.

Hannah Heck also landed in double digits with 12 points. Kennedy Prentice and Miranda Raney were next on the scoring list with 8 points. Sondra How-shar added 6 points. Alison Sells and Faith Caldwell rounded out the score with 3 points.

“I am really proud of the girls,” Coach Strong said. “They played a really good game. We got down 9-0 in the first quarter but I did not see any panic. The girls kept chugging along and we ended up with a double-digit win. We did a good job of rebounding and also played pretty good defense.”

On Saturday, Allen jumped back into tournament action at Calvin High School. The Lady Mustangs took on the Roff Lady Tigers in the championship finals.

Roff led 14-13 after one quarter and 28-20 at halftime. After the break, the Lady Indians outscored Allen 10-9 in the third period and 10-4 in the fourth. The combined result was a 48-33 win for Roff.

Miranda Raney led the Lady Mustangs in scoring with 10 points. She was the lone Allen player to score in double figures.

The rest of Allen’s scoring in-cluded Alison Sells and Charlea Leonard with 5 points each, Son-dra Howshar with 4 and Hannah Heck with 3. Three others scored 3 points each, including Kennedy Prentice, Alycia Evans and Faith Caldwell.

“We were running on pure emotion in the first quarter,” said Coach Strong. “We played a pretty good game at that time. But it was our third game in four days – Wednesday, Friday and Saturday – and you could see us running out of energy. We were losing our legs and it got away from us. We set our goals high and we really wanted to win this

game. We were not happy that we finished second. But, at the same time, I am very proud of the girls. They did a pretty good job. You just have to give Roff a lot of credit. They played a pretty good game and they did what they needed to do to win the tourna-ment.”

Looking ahead, Allen was fac-ing a pair of strong challenges this week. The Lady Mustangs were to play Roff again on Tues-day … and then close out the pre-holiday schedule against the much-improved Weleetka Lady Outlaws.

“We’ll have good competition to go into the break,” said Coach Strong. “But we play a strong schedule for a reason. We are trying to get us prepared for the playoffs. A great record against weak competition will do nothing to get you ready for the games that really count. We’ll play the strong teams and it will get us better as we go along.”

Tagus Howard had quite a list of needs to share with Santa.

Sisters Milani and Tessa Rowsey have been very good and we hope they get everything on their wish list.

Looks like Santa had his lap full and running over when these sisters and their children gathered. Pictured are Joni Anderson, Alex Hill, Beckett Wells, A.J. Hill and LeaAnn Wells.

Keithon Howard told Santa everything he wants for Christ-mas this year.

Christmas is a family time and Connor and Sophie Smith shared their Santa visit with their cousin, Jagger Caldwell.

April and Grasyn Whitehead had a nice visit with ol’ St. Nick and told him of their hearts’ desires.

Amber Ford and her daughters Lainey and Kaylee enjoyed a visit Friday with Santa.

Apparently not everyone is in love with a certain old man in a red suit. Tinsley Wofford wants someone to rescue her!
