I always enjoy finding news stories from days gone by. Recently I found an article from 1951. Some of the names will be very familiar to many of our readers . . . .

NOTICES The baccalaureate sermon will be held Sunday, April 29. We are hoping for a big crowd.

The seniors’ commencement will be Thursday night, May 3.

The seventh and eighth grades will sing at the graduation.

The boys will sing “Mr. Shaddy” and the girls will sing “An Irish Lullaby.”

We are all very happy Rev. Gilbert Pixley will give the sermon at the baccalaureate.

GOSSIP Whose ’40 Ford goes up to Jo-Ella’s all the time—tell us, Jo . . . Whose horse does Kathryn Lawson anxiously await to pass her house? Could it be C.E.’s . . . Delores Fields and Lonnie Raney are still lovers—but who is trying to break them up? . . .

WHAT HAPPENS IN STUDY HALL? Earlene Glass and Sid Veazey sit together, but Mrs. Priest disturbs that . . . Louise Battershell eating candy and trying to give Eugene Johnson a bite—but he won’t take it.

ON THE BALL FIELD! Loretta Tallett wanting to go down and play baseball—was it because of J.B. McBryde? . . . Buddy Lawson coming up to the girls’ diamond—could it be because of Ruby Ingram . . . Buddy Groves trying to slip out of study hall to the girls’ diamond—was it because of Edwinna Hendrix?

GRADUATION The eighth grade girls will wear formals and ballerina shoes and the boys will wear white shirts, dress slacks and neckties.

The seniors will graduate in caps and gowns.

The seniors’ valedictorian was Margaret Baucom and Doris Summers was salutatorian.

Eighth grade valedictorians are Wanda Harris and Louise Battershell. Freddie Don Poe is salutatorian.

—CC— For several years I had some rental property. It proved to be more of a “challenge” than I wanted to deal with so I left the rental business . . . forever.

I learned that many tenants do not enjoy paying their rent.

Here are a few of my favorite reasons tenants gave landlords for avoiding it . . .

• “With my daughter’s graduation, our new boat, and our trip to Europe this year, we’re a little strapped.”

• “I’m getting real tried of paying this rent every month! You’ll have to wait a few more days.”

• “We’re a little short right now. But don’t worry – we’re getting a refund on my wife’s tattoo. The artist messed it up and we’re getting back most of the bucks!”

• “I didn’t pay the rent because I’m saving up to move.”

• “It’s your fault the check bounced. Why didn’t you tell me you were going to run to the bank the very same day!”

—CC— Remember how our teachers would not let us chew gum, during class? Recent tests show that if they had allowed us to chew gum we would have done better on our tests. I might even have been valedictorian . . . probably not, now that I think about it.

Here is the recent report . . “ University students who chewed gum before taking a series of tests performed significantly better during the first half hour of testing than a control group who didn’t chew gum, a study published in the journal Appetite found. Numerous studies have examined the cognitive benefits of chewing gum but results varied, possibly due to methodological difference, researchers said.

This study focused on the optimum time to chew gum.

Two groups of students in Canton, New York, one with 80 people and one with 79, completed five cognitively demanding tasks, each in the opposite order. Approximately half the subjects in each group chewed either sugar-fre or

sugar-added gum for five minutes in time to a metronome set at 60 beats per minute. The other half served as the controls.

Gum chewers in both groups significantly outperformed controls on five out of six tests administered in the first 20 minutes of testing, but there was no difference in performance after 30 minutes. Sugar content had no effect.

A separate experiment involving 65 new students found there was no benefit to chewing gum throughout the entire testing

So, if you want to improve your performance . . . chew more gum!

—CC— How many of you have heard of “Bronies?” They originated in Berkeley, California . . . which is no surprise to anyone . . .

Fifteen young men in this hotbed of activism gathered at an Indian restaurant on a recent Sunday and made an appeal: Could the waiter please switch the TV from the news to “My Little Pony”?

Then the men heaped their plates with curry and clustered around tables to absorb the Pony cartoon, share trivia about the characters and play show-and-tell with the various plastic Pony toys they had brought along.

Meet the self-described “bronies.”

The object of the bronies’ fascination is “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic,” a remake of a 1980s animated TV show for preadolescent girls featuring plucky, candy-colored equines.

After the show launched in October 2010, video clips began appearing on 4chan, a website that largely draws geeky, techsavvy guys. Before long, the bronies were born. They started holding local get-togethers, from Seattle to Brooklyn, where they recognized each other by the paper Pony cut-outs tucked in their shirt pockets. They’d discuss the latest shenanigans of Ponies with names like Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy.

Some bronies say they got hooked on the high-quality animation. Others felt they identified with the four-legged stars that flaunt luxurious, pony-tail like manes. “The characters aren’t one-dimensional,” said 15-year-old Christian Leisner, a brony in the Berkeley group. “They have flaws, they have backgrounds they’re ashamed of.”

Bronies—a mash-up of “bro” and “ponies”—established a quarterly New York convention, called BroNYCon, this year.

They’ve spawned at least two Pony-themed websites and enjoy a thriving subculture of artists whose creations include Ponyinspired music and their own writings about Twilight Sparkle and the gang.

Jessica Blank, a 32-year-old computer programmer who is BroNYCon’s organizer, says people inevitably ask her whether the bronies—three-quarters of whom are male—are gay. “Actually, the overwhelming majority are straight,” she says.

Bronies say their hobby has nothing to do with their sexuality or gender. “I don’t care about showing to the world that I am masculine,” says Jason Subhani, a 19-year-old college student in Astoria, N.Y. A Pony poster on his bedroom wall mingles with images of heavy-metal icons.

At the recent informal Berkeley gathering, Quinn Johnson, an 18-year-old freshman at the city’s University of California campus, showed a Rubik’s cube he had customized with homemade “My Little Pony” stickers. Michael Boveda, a 16-year-old high-school junior, proffered a plastic Pony carefully transported in a plastic food container. “I didn’t want to ruin the hair,” he explained.

The group included four “Pegasisters,” as the small minority of female bronies sometimes call themselves in this male-dominated world. Voices escalated, and Ohad Kanne, a 27-year-old studying videogame design, crossed to the TV and turned up the volume on “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.”

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. When Hasbro Inc. and Discovery Communications Inc. revived the “My Little Pony” franchise on a new television network called The Hub, an executive told investors the remake was for “the three- to six-year-old girl and her mom, who has fond memories of ‘My Little Pony’ from her childhood.”

The Ponies confront knotty challenges—such as an invasion of adorable but hungry insects called Parasprites—and report to a ruler named Princess Celestia about the life lessons they learn.

This is the sort of thing discussed at Equestria Daily, a brony website with links to such enthusiast-pleasers as free Pony coloring books. Shaun Scotellaro, its 23-year-old founder, says he cut back on his community-college classes to run the site out of his parents’ house in Glendale, Ariz., and has since become a cult hero.

“Growing up, ‘My Little Pony’ was basically on my list, being a boy, of things I’d probably hate,” says Mr. Subhani, the college student from Queens. Then he found the remake, he says, and “before I knew it, I was going on Equestria Daily more than any other news website.”

Mr. Subhani tried to get his rock-band mates to play some Pony-inspired covers. They declined, so he formed a new band of bronies called Neighslayer, in which he plays guitar-heavy renditions of such “My Little Pony” songs as “Art of the Dress.”

The show’s producers have caught on to the phenomenon.

This September, “My Little Pony” supervising director Jayson Thiessen was a special guest at BroNYCon, which drew

tia is a heavenly white, but the toy is cotton-candy pink. So the bronies frequently buy unofficial merchandise from each other, including treasures such as pipe-cleaner Ponies.

Leaving the Berkeley gathering, bronies discussed loved ones’ reactions. “My sisters say, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ “ said Mr. Kanne, who wore a Pony T-shirt. “Luckily, we have this community that understands.”

— Vauhini Vara & Ann Zimmerman Wall Street Journal —CC— And finally, my “Favorite story of the week” from Aimee Kent . . .

My 12-year-old daughter asked me, “Mom do you have a baby picture of yourself? I need it for a school project.” I gave her one without thinking to ask what the project was.

A few days later I was in her classroom for a parent-teacher meeting when I noticed my face pinned to a mural the students had created. The title of their project was “The oldest thing in my house.”

300 bronies to a studio in Chinatown. Mr. Thiessen, 33, addressed a raucous crowd of men, Neighslayer performed and the guy in the best Pony costume won an award.

Later, Mr. Thiessen wrote on Twitter that the enthusiasm “completely floored me!”

In an email, a Hasbro spokeswoman said of the bronies: “From what we’ve seen, they are a small group of ‘My Little Pony’ fans who don’t necessarily fit what one might expect to be the brand’s target audience.”

Sales of “My Little Pony” merchandise are growing, says Hasbro, which declined to provide figures or comment on who, exactly, is buying the stuff.

The Hub Chief Executive Margaret Loesch said she is aware of the show’s strong following among young males, but says the majority of adult viewers are still overwhelmingly female. “I think part of why it resonates is the funky, flying mystical creatures,” she says. “The combination of plenty of action and heart gives it broad appeal.”

Some bronies disdain Hasbro’s Pony figurines, which they find too commercial and not “show-accurate.” A pet peeve: On TV, Princess Celes-

God’s light shines upon us each moment of every day and we are never more aware of it than when we look at nature and contemplate all that He had created.

I have a tree in my back yard that to me represents the true nature of God. When this tree began to sprout in my yard, it was in an unwanted location. I cut it off; mowed over it time and time again and tried in every way to destroy it. It would sprout up year after year.

One year it got past my efforts and began to grow. And grow tall it did. It became a great tree. I look at it now and realize my tree represents our life and what we are. That tree never did give up.

It grew straight and tall. The trunk is large, straight and strong.

In the lifetime of a person, we don’t give up. We survive cuts and bruises, knocks of every kind and we survive all these things that come our way. Mostly we keep growing straight and tall like that tree.

I look at it and realize what a perfect thing God did when He created man. Yes. God created a perfect creature in human form.

We abuse our body and mind in every way while on this earth, yet someday we will meet him in perfect form.

Prayer: Dear God, please

help me to be aware of your Spirit every moment of my life and I pray that you will never withhold the light of Your presence from me and mine.

Chickens Blending In

I pushed the button on the poolside elevator and as I went in, this chicken went with me. We both turned and faced the door, waiting for it to close. When we got to my floor, the chicken got off with me and disappeared down the outside hallway. She seemed to know where she was and I asked no questions. I decided then and there I was going to be keeping a close eye on the chickens in Key West. Perhaps they were reincarnated humans getting another chance for life down in Florida. I was at the Doubletree Hotel at the time about 9 years ago. I remember it well because it had a rather large pool out back, elevators that opened to the outside, and that chicken.

I told myself I didn’t drive all the way to Key West to look at chickens and tried to put their odd behavior out of my mind.

After that I tried not to notice the chickens that seemed to be all over Key West. The next day, try as I might, I couldn’t help but notice them. At an outdoor restaurant two joined us for lunch. Before I could shoo her away a curious hen had hopped up into the adjoining chair, straining her neck to see what I was eating. Signs

around the place advised us “Please don’t feed the chickens” I didn’t. I asked the scowling waiter what the deal was on the chickens. He replied, “I hate them but down here the idiots have passed a law protecting them. We can do nothing.”

The waiter was right. The people of Key West are idiots.

It seems that several years ago someone brought chickens to Key West and then just turned them loose. Pretty soon chickens were just wandering all over the place and Key West residents ignored them — for a while. Finally the city council passed an ordinance to deal with the problem and hired a chicken catcher. For one thing, the city fathers failed to realize that chickens not only have rights but they have feelings too. Liberal thinkers started harboring the fugitive chickens and said “Chickens don’t like being denied the right to walk the streets and to exist. They didn’t like having their feelings hurt and or to be killed and eaten.” Besides, after a month at work the “catcher” had only caught two chickens and had them in his back yard—not knowing what to do with them.

Light from God’s Word

Mark Legg, Allen church of Christ If you turned on the TV last week, you surely saw news about a man called “the Pope” who resigned.

Pictures were shown of him blessing people, people bowing to him and others, kissing his hand (or his ring). Commentators spoke of him being the successor of the Apostle Peter.

Did anyone stop to question that if he was Peter’s successor, why did he not do as Peter did when someone bowed to him? Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up; I myself am also a man.”

(Acts 10:26) Of interest is the fact that even an angel forbid the Apostle John from bowing and worshipping him. He told John, “I

am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” (Rev 22:9) If “the pope” is a successor to the Apostle Peter, why is he required to be celebrant when Peter was married?

(Matt 8:14) Has something changed since the days of the inspired Apostles? And, if so, who had the authority to overrule the inspired Apostles who were guided into all truth by the Holy Spirit? (John 16:13) Also, there was reporting about the Pope’s red shoes.

Did the Apostle Peter wear red shoes – just wondering!

Have you ever read anything in the Scriptures about the Apostle Peter having a successor? Have you ever wondered where the idea came from? Maybe it came from men rather than Jesus or His inspired Apostles!

When we hear of such religious activities, let’s do as the Scriptures command and “Test all things; hold fast what is good.” (1 Thess 5:21)

Lady Mustagns launch Softball season

Is Your Broker Giving You the Cold Shoulder?

Coach Jeremy Strong welcomes 20 Allen girls to 2013 Allen High School roster

By HERMAN BROWN Allen correspondent After a couple of early delays, the Allen High School slow-pitch softball season in now underway. Coach Jeremy Strong returns to lead the Lady Mustangs for the 2013 spring campaign.

The ‘new’ softball coach is happy to be back with the softball program.

“I coached softball for three years when I first came here,” he said. “Kelly Hudson was coaching it until this year. She did a really good job but decided to stay home to take care of a newborn baby. That’s why it came open again. I thought since I was coaching girls’ basketball, I might as well make it all-girls coaching

for me. We’ve had fast-pitch all along, but Allen has only been playing slow-pitch for the past two or three years.”

Coach Strong led the fall campaign of fast-pitch a few months ago. His current journey into slow-pitch will be a major change in the style of play.

“It is completely different,” he said. “But it is also the same in a lot of way.

We’ll just build on what we learned in fast-pitch … and the carry that on into the next fast-pitch season. We will work on defense because we’ll have to make a lot more plays in slow-pitch.

That is the biggest thing we will see in the spring

season.”

Offensively, Coach Strong will look to a pair of proven softball players to spark the hitting attack.

“Erin Warren and Sandra Howshar have the most experience,” he said. “I would expect those two girls to lead our offense.”

Warren and Howshar are among the half-dozen returning starters for the Lady Mustangs. Other returning starters include: Shelby Merriman, Jessi Merriman, Meagan Beavert and Savanna Brown.

There are at least four nonstarters returning for the spring season. That group includes Brittney Johnson, Tessa Black, Rio Jones and Britten Wallace.

More depth will be provided by the freshmen members of the squad, including Heather Erickson, Hannah Johnson, Casey Deatherage and JoDee Miller.

“I believe we will have close to 20 girls on the roster,” Coach Strong said.

“We should be able to play varsity and junior varsity games and get everyone into the games to get experience.”

Despite having quite a few returning starters and reserves, Coach Strong still has quite a few decisions to make on starting positions.

“We were schedule to start playing already,” he said.

“We had some girls going to the county livestock show and then we got the bad weather. So I am still looking at things and trying to figure out our lineup.”

Monday provided the first on-the-field practice this spring.

“We had not been outside until Monday,” the coach said. “We played catch inside but were not able to practice until Monday. It’s so early but I really liked what I saw from them. We have good chemistry and they joke around with each other and have fun. But, at the same time, they are competitive and want to out-do each other. I like that about them. They push each other and that will make us a much better team.”

The softball season was set to begin on Tuesday.

The Lady Mustangs were hosting the Stratford Lady Bulldogs in the AHS softball field on SH 48 a halfmile outside of town.

Game 2 arrives Thursday when Coach Strong and Assistant Coach Leslie Costner take the Allen squad to Roff to battle the Lady Tigers.

6-hit attack. Mills was 2 for 3 at the plate with a pair of singles and drove in 2 runs. Tommy Peay was 1-for-2 with 2 singles and scored twice. Conner Johnson was 1-for-3 and also scored twice. Trey Stick was 1-for-3 with a single and 1 run scored.

Thirkiel Wedlow rounded out the offense with a single on a 1-for-2 showing.

Coach Caldwell used two Mustangs in mound duty at Holdenville. Tommy Peay was the opening day pitcher.

The freshman right-hander was saddled with the loss following a stint of 1 and 2/3 innings. Peay was touched for 7 runs on 2 hits and 5 walks.

He recorded a pair of strikeouts during his outing.

Trey Stick was pressed into relief duty in the second inning. The senior right-hander worked the mound over the final 2 and 1/3 innings. Stick surrendered 6 runs, 5 hits and 3 walks while striking out 1 batter.

“Our pitching will come,” Coach Caldwell said. “I feel OK about that part of our game. And, as I said, our hitting was not too bad for it being the first game. The 6 errors did not help and that’s why we want to see improvement in that area.”

Coach Caldwell was the assistant baseball coach under Jeremy Strong. When Coach Strong moved over to the softball program, an opening appeared at the top of the program.

“I am happy to do this,” Coach Caldwell said. “I will be working with Greg Sanders, our assistant coach. We will have the team working to improve in all areas. But it is real early and I think we’ll be just fine.”

PONTOTOC COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS

February 4, 2013 The Board of Pontotoc County Commissioners met for a regularly scheduled meeting in which the time, place, and agenda were duly posted 9:00 AM on February 1, 2013 at 301 S. Broadway, Ada, Oklahoma. Gary Starns, Randy Floyd, Justin Roberts, and Pam Walker were present for the meeting.

The following guests attended: David Sherbert, JR Grissom, Art Lawler, Brandon Tilley, Tracy Dial, Cinnamon Cox, Ray Ingram, Bobby Fennell, Ed Carpenter, Judith Cowden, Taylor East, Jenny Don, Foster Green, Pat Mitchell, Sue Caldwell, Misty Stephens, Aaron Dial, Jennifer Bevers, Brian Bevers, Jack Cadenhead, Ronnie Gwen, Brandi Cadenhead, John Long, Bo Ellis, Robert Waddell, Debbie Waddell, Brad Williams, Chad Letellier, John Christian, and Glenda Gonderman.

Motion by Floyd, second by Starns, to approve January 28, 2013 meeting minutes.

All aye.

Motion by Starns, second by Roberts, to approve proclamation submitted by Farm Bureau Women’s Committee designating February 18-26 as Farm Bureau Week. All aye.

Misty Stephens with Communication Federal Credit Union discussed becoming a vendor for Pontotoc County Employees. Motion by Roberts, second by Floyd, to table.

All aye.

Jack Cadenhead, attorney for Nathan Dial discussed that Dial owns 20 acres south of town. Dial wishes to construct a home and car repair shop for hire. Property is currently zoned as A-2, and asks to rezone to C-2. Tract of 2.45 acres is requested to rezone to C-2 so that shop for hire can be constructed. Proposed findings of fact and design of structure were submitted to Board by Cadenhead. Starns asked Chris Ross, District Attorney, what would happen if Dial sold property; Ross stated that property would remain C-2 for new owner. Starns also asked if approving this rezone change would result in lawsuits from other requests that have been rejected. Ross stated that it would depend on the length of time since it had been rejected; the proposal could be re-submitted.

Ross stated that the Board should adopt a set of standards that would apply to every request for zoning changes. A use variance request is what actually should be requested in this case since only a portion of the property is being requested. Cadenhead responded that this area is not developed; there are similar businesses within 1½ miles of this property. Starns stated that if the property is approved and the Board disregards the District Attorney’s recommendation, the District Attorney could no longer represent the Board. John Long with Legal Shield stated that there has been a great deal of development in the area since 2003, such as OBI, Chickasaw Nation Medical Center, and the church that is about to be constructed. Ross stated that the Dial case would not keep the District Attorney from representing the Board in a different re-zoning case. Mike Williams, a neighbor to Dial’s property, stated that he supported Dial’s application for re-zoning.

Motion by Roberts, second by Floyd, to approve Dial’s rezoning proposal. Roberts aye, Floyd aye, Starns opposed.
