Voters Say No

THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2016

Allen School District voters said a very emphatic “No!” in response to the bond proposal election Tuesday, April 5th. The final tally showed 100 (33%) for and 204 opposed (67%).

Allen School administration acknowledged disappointment but did state this was a learning experience. Current plans are to revamp the proposal, prioritizing the school needs, and bring the issue back to the voters later this year.

“Overcrowding in our Elementary and Middle School buildings is the number one priority, followed by improvements to the gymnasium. Safe rooms are definitely a must.

Allen has been very fortunate to have always avoided major storm damage in the past, but no one knows what the future holds and we must be prepared to protect our students if the need arises,” said board member Cindy Davis.

“Allen hasn’t needed a major construction bond since the building of the ‘new’ gym (which is nearly 40 years old) and what is commonly call the high-tech building. That building, which currently houses the Allen Junior High, doesn’t meet the basic needs of the students and by adding a building to the elementary complex, that age group can be moved to a location better suited to their needs.

“Input from the community is definitely needed and appreciated. All ideas and concerns will be taken into consideration before the bond proposal is reissued.”

Individual precinct voting was as follows: Coal County had no turnout; Atwood, 10 for, 15 against; Gerty, 4 yes, 11 no; Hughes County-Allen, 28 for, 37 against; Hughes County absentee, 1 yes, 3 no; Pontotoc County-Allen, 51 yes, 114 no; Happyland, 4 yes, 24 no; Pontotoc County absentee, 2 yes.

First, I want to share my favorite story of the week ...

Seventy-year-old Wayne went for his annual physical.

All of his tests came back with normal results.

Dr. Smith said, “Wayne, everything looks great physically. How are you doing mentally and emotionally?

Are you at peace with yourself, and do you have a good relationship with God.” Wayne replied, “God and I are very close. He knows I have poor eyesight, so he’s fixed it so that when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom (poof!) the light goes on when I go, and then (poof!) the light

goes off when I’m done” “ Wow,” commented Dr. Smith, “that’s incredible!”

L ater in the day, Dr. Smith called Wayne’s wife, “Pat,” he said, “Wayne is just fine. Physically he’s great, but I had to call because I’m in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and (poof!), the light goes on in the bathroom, and then (poof!) the light goes off?”

Pat exclaimed, “That old fool! He’s going to the bathroom in the refrigerator again!”

had the opportunity to read a portion of the inaugural address Donald Trump is working on . . .

My Fellow Americans This is a great day for me personally. You’re very smart to have voted for me because I’m going to do positive things for this country, starting with this mall I’m looking out over. For starters, I don’t know why this is called a “mall.” Where I come from, New York City--which happens to be the greatest city in the world, and the reason I say that is that I built most of it, and I only build quality, so I think I know what I’m talking about--a mall doesn’t look like this. Where are the shops? I see grass, ponds, an obelisk. This is not Cairo.

I don’t know how much the government paid for the Washington Monument--and I have no problem with George Washington, but he wasn’t a businessman--they overpaid. You’ve got a 560-foot tall structure sitting on some of the most prime real estate in the country, incredible views, including of my new home. People would pay a lot for a duplex co-op in a building like that. I would charge fifteen hundred, two thousand dollars a square foot, and I’d get it. No wonder this government is trillions in debt.

With foreign policy, the same. I’m a businessman.

Other countries want to do business with us, I’m all for it. Trade, great. I have no problems with people trading with us, but it’s going to be fair trade, by which I mean we come out on top. Or they can sell their TVs and cheeses to someone else. Maybe North Korea could use them. Again, it’s not complicated. Missiles? Very simple--you aim one at us, I fire 100 at you. So don’t go there.

That about covers it. I have to go, because the important senators and congressmen are giving me a lavish luncheon in the rotunda. I understand they’re serving a lot of shrimp, much better food than they’ve had in Congress for a long time. Basically they’re trying to impress me so I won’t cancel their highway projects and ethanol subsidies. I know how they do things. Now they’re going to find out how I do things.

By the way, I’ve directed the Treasury to issue a couple billion extra in $100 chips. Enjoy yourselves.

It’s the dawn of a very great era.

Earth. I’m not an “Israel right or wrong” person, but it is a special place and a special people in the eyes of God, and it is in America’s best interest to stand with Israel.

This brings me back to the importance of the 2016 presidential race. It is my hope and prayer that we elect a godly president who fully appreciates our history and our Constitution, a president who will promote the Judeo-Christian value system again. This would make a huge difference in shaping the future for our children and grandchildren. I want to see a solidly conservative candidate who will take on the liberal candidate and be able to contrast the monumental difference between constitutional conservatism and secular progressivism.

I believe America in many ways is like a very sick person who is about to die if proper medicine and treatment are not quickly administered.

The medicine: a Christian revival that brings millions of people to Jesus Christ. The treatment: for Christians to stand against evil and for righteousness in government and other places in the name of the

Threads of Life ••• Comic Strip Blonde •••

by Cleo LeVally

Many years ago my sister had a roommate who was a writer for the Chic Young Comic Strip Blondie. When this writer died, many of her writings were left in two filing cabinets at the home of my sister.

When my sister died, I went to California to get her house ready to sell and

found the filing cabinet that contained this roommates writings. Every time one of her ideas was published, she received a full comic strip page with that comic strip on it. Also in the files with these documents are Threadsmany

greeting cards to her from Chic Young, the author of Blondie at the time.

Also the year, week and date that Chic Young died, every comic strip on that page had something about Chic Young. Each of the comic strips had something about going to an anniversary part for Chic Young. For several comic strips an idea for the party was mentioned. Some were about invitations to

the party and others were about actually showing up for the party. I have a copy of those pages of the comic strips.

On 9-2-05, Hagar The Horrible featured several comic strip characters.

Hagar had built a Dagwood Sandwich. Dagwood was reaching for it when Hagar held him back and told him to ‘Get Your Own.’ Two drawers of my fil-

No foolin’, it’s already April. This is a month that seems to flip the season change switch on, off, on, off…..on…..off……on… off…..on…

I have a few tomato plants that caught my attention the other day. “Go ahead and buy us,” they said. “We’ll only need to stay on your porch a couple of days. It’s going to be an early spring this year and besides, we’re a bargain.” Easily influenced, I bought their story and they are still camping out on our porch demanding to be carried over to a sunny spot and then wanting to be set back out of the wind.

T hey will be moving out to the garden soon, but not quite yet. On April 17th the theme for our fellowship meal will be called Poor Man’s Dinner because it is scheduled for the day after the income taxes are due to be filed.

If we bring covered dishes to go with the beans and cornbread I’m sure there will be a feast for for everyone. Come and join us. I can’t guarantee fried potatoes, but you never know.

On April 16th, the Men’s BBQ Retreat will be held at the Adkisson Ranch south of Seminole. It is scheduled to begin at 2:00 that afternoon and to end at 8:30. Tom Spillman did

the honors for the special music portion of the worship service and sang “The Scarlet Purple Robe.” It is another beautiful old song with a beautiful gospel message, and Tom sings these classy classic songs so well! Kevin Duck was our speaker this Sunday, and as it turned out, his sermon expanded and reinforced last Sunday’s message on the power of the Holy Spirit, which Darius Emerson had brought. He based his message on several passages of scripture beginning with Hebrews 2:14-18.

It was through the power of the Holy Spirit that a few followers of Jesus changed their world. If today’s church will be receptive to the Holy Spirit it can change a world that desperately needs God. The amazing power that raised Jesus from the dead is the same power that every Christian can access if they will. Jesus put on a fleshly body and came to live in our world.

On this earth we are beset by temptations, and Jesus was tempted, too. Prayer was a daily practice with Jesus, and when He was tempted He was prepared to resist those temptations through the power of the Holy Spirit.

ing cabinet have card after card of these files, each with an idea for a comic strip. Many times I have pulled cards from that file and just sat and read them, trying to figure out how that particular idea could get in one of those comic strips.

I wish these files could be utilized. There are some wonderful ideas in them. And it is interesting to see how the comic strip was published twenty years ago.

Before he was taken up into heaven, Jesus told the disciples it was better that He return to heaven because only then could the Holy Spirit come to them.

His assured them that having the Holy Spirit with them would be even better than for him to physically remain on earth with them.

The Power that raised Jesus is the same Power that lives in us today. It is only through the Holy Spirit that Christians can see the Kingdom things around us. What if we Christians were to partake of the Holy Spirit as we are meant to? How would we change, how would our churches change, and how would the world around us change?

Remember, it was the Holy Spirit who, in only a few days, changed Peter from a man who three times denied being a follower of Jesus into a man who preached a powerful gospel message before a huge crowd at Pentecost.

Service in the power of the Holy Spirit is a continual learning experience, and it is in this kind of service that we find comfort, joy, peace, guidance, and the amazing power to do whatever God asks us to do.

Atwood Nazarene

Sunday we had our monthly breakfast before church.

As usual we had a good crowd even though some forgot.

We have many on the prayer list, but we are seeing some amazing answers to prayer. God still listens when we call on him.

Our special for the day, “The God of the Mountain” was sung by our group. They always do an outstanding job.

Bro. Larry’s message was taken from Acts 5:25-32 and entitled “We Are Witnesses!” When the soldiers came for Jesus, the disciples were frightened into silence. After they were filled with the Only Spirit, they were willing to stand up, speak, teach, and even go to jail. They now had an inward power they had never known.

The Apostles knew all too well that these men could do them great harm. They could have done to them what they did to Jesus. In spite of the possibility of great personal harm, they persisted in telling their story.

These were now men were on a mission. Their aim was to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God. They had been with Jesus right up to the crucifixion and the resurrection. The Holy Spirit had filled them with the presence and power of Jesus. The Holy Spirit gave them the power to be the witnesses for Christ. We can be filled with that same power from on high.

One Pharmacist’s View Ain’t the computer wonderful? Without it I might have forgotten what Tuesday was. It was “BEST FRIEND DAY.” I woke up on BFD thinking “what a marvelous thing: A day set aside to remember our best friend.” I ran some names through my sleepy brain and thought of several people over the years who had been friends, even best friends.

But there weren’t many. I was still sleepy so I went into the breakfast room and found MY rolodex. This fat little file contains hundreds of names, addresses and phone numbers. “How fortunate I am to have so many friends” I thought to myself as I started rolling this little gadget around.

The little cards are getting yellow with age now and some, written in pencil or weak ball-point pens, are fading and hard to read. I went through all of them but

Best Friend Day

realized that each familiar name I turned up was either dead or something. People move around a lot, I mused as I started through the myriad of names in my creaky old rolodex. “I need to get a new one of these things and transfer all these name over and leave out the dead ones.

I know that would take a lot of time and thought and if I did that I wouldn’t need a rolodex anymore--just a little small pocket address book.” I decided to not do that right now and instead have a nap.

I woke up and still had the “My Best Friend Day” on my mind. I went back to the little wheeled address gadget and this time I went to the “F” file. F is for friends. There was but one name there and it was Virgil Guy. His card was alone. Surely, I thought,

there must be others. But there wasn’t.

O ur friendship started even before I moved to Allen. In the early 60s he and his brother Bill Guy published the Allen and Stonewall papers. Virgil was in charge of the Stonewall Leader.

A fter I become a main street businessman in Allen, he and Jackie closed the Stonewall paper down and took over the Allen Advocate. My family and his all became best friends.

Virgil always encouraged me to write. Just about what I didn’t know but I did send him news items. I called them “Inter-street-memos” and they usually contained my insights of the news behind the news and he, being smarter than he looks, hardly ever published any of

Light from God’s Word

Mark Legg

Will everyone who feels they are saved really be saved? According to the Christian Apologist, C. S. Lewis, there will be three surprises in heaven: “who’s there,” “Who’s not there,” and “You’re there.” However, Jesus seems to indicate that some who feel they will be there, will not be there!

He said, “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in

Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’

And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”

(Matt 7:22-23) In this passage, is not Jesus speaking of people who felt they would be saved? They had been busy doing religious activities in the name of Jesus – prophesying, preaching and good works. They assumed they would be accepted into heaven! To other people, they must have looked like genuine Christians.

However, apparently they had not done those religious things according to “the will of my Father in heaven.” (Verse 21) Does this mean that to

be saved, something is necessary in addition to “feeling” we are saved?

Is man to be judged by his own feelings? We will be judged by Jesus. He said, “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him — the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.”

(John 12:48) The Apostle Paul wrote, “let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” (1 Cor 10:12) Surely, we must always be striving (Luke 13:24) to do the will of God so we will be saved. We must honestly, humbly and seriously study God’s word and not assume that we are guaranteed salvation just because of what we feel or think.

them. Sometimes he would send me a note and ask me to write something about a specific town topic and I would. One of them concerned our town’s dump--a festering sore of trash the city maintained out at the end of camper road. This story was reprinted in the Daily Oklahoman the next week.

Virgil and I both served on the school board and both went through some hard times doing so. Talk about mud-slinging! I was practically indicted and sent to prison for selling Allen School buses in Mexico.

Virgil, too, was slandered as the town drunk and common criminal. Somehow we both survived these attacks and I never went to jail and Virgil didn’t drink.

Oh yeah. I never sold any of those buses either--although it now seems like a good idea.

Like so many best friends, Virgil and his family sold their business and moved away. But I left his little card in my file and just upgraded his address as needed. Now a days I have a lot of friends (I think) in Allen and because of these articles I am able to stay in touch with many of them. It makes my day to hear from my readers and especially those I’ve known so long. Who knows? I may have to edge in some other little card right next to Virgil’s--there in the “F” file.

H ave a good week and don’t forget to go to church Sunday. Maybe you’ll find another name to add to your “F” file.

Allen earns third place in Gumbo Classic Mustang baseballers secure wins in four of six games

By HERMAN BROWN Allen correspondent The Allen Mustangs were very busy and very productive in their last six high school baseball games. Coach Steven Caldwell’s Mustangs won four of the six outings including a third-place finish in the Gumbo Classic baseball tournament at Dewar High School.

On March 29, Allen recorded a 10-0 victory over the visiting New Lima Falcons. However, the Mustangs turned around in the late game and suffered a 7-2 loss to Silo.

On Thursday, Allen launched play in the tournament at Dewar. The Mustangs took down the Eufaula Ironheads on a narrow 5-4 count.

Allen moved on to the semi-finals to face the Preston Pirates. The Mustangs played hard but ended up losing a 9-3 decision

to the Okmulgee County squad.

On Saturday, Allen played the Depew Hornets in the third-place game March 29

at the Gumbo Classic.

The Mustangs stepped up and pounded the Hornets 12-6.

Discussion by Lori Wightman, Mercy Hospital President, regarding EMS funding. Roberts asked who bears the burden for insurance and Medicare? City of Ada had set up a Trust Fund for the Sales Tax and administered those funds for Valley View Regional Hospital, which is now Mercy Hospital. The contract between the City of Ada and Mercy was made last August with the understanding it would expire in one (1) year.

Pontotoc County Justice Center is going to need the extra funding due to the Department of Corrections prisoners being taken away, resulting in a losing a source of funding.

In 2011, Chad Letellier, Emergency Management Director, stated that he and previous EMS Directors, Eugene Dixon and Cap Williams, made several attempts to talk to Valley View Regional Hospital (VVRH) about the 522 District in conjunction with utilities. They were never able to get a response.

Letellier reported that 42% of the grant for the County Clerk’s Preservation of Records is done and continuing the process.

Sprint is upgrading their antennas on an existing tower located at 2151 Richland Drive Ada, OK. This work will consist of adding three antennas to their lease antenna platform on the tower.
