Allen Enrollment Continues to Increase discussion on the school’s
Allen School enrollment continues to rise and board members were advised at the November 12th meeting that the current ADA number is 510. Classrooms are full and space is at a premium. The Allen board meeting was changed to a Thursday to accommodate the need to meet after the 10th of the month to ensure all outstanding statements had been received. This is done when necessary to avoid late charges on billing cycles. F our board members, administrators and several guests were in attendance including a representative of the Chickasaw Nation, college students attending to achieve class requirements, and concerned parents. After call to order and reading the Open Meeting statement, public hearings were held to allow open
Impact Aid, JOM program and Title VII Indian Education program as well as the school’s Title I federal funding, and the district’s internet policy and compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act. Guests in attendance were encouraged to express their concerns or suggestions on these topics. A fter approval of the consent agenda items the board discussed and approved the 2016 meeting dates, the District Policy on E-Rate Record Retention & Procurement and the new Internet Access Conduct Agreement. The board then discussed short term and long term planning, deciding and prioritizing school needs. The board entered into executive session before adjourning for the evening.

By HERMAN BROWN Allen correspondent The Allen Mustangs saw the 2015 high school football season come to an end last weekend in the first round of the Class B football playoffs. Coach Steven Caldwell’s Mustangs were eliminated on an 86-44 loss to the hosting Seiling Wildcats. Allen ended the season with a record of 6-5. Despite the 42-point margin of the loss, the outcome was still very much up for grabs late in the game. Allen trailed by only 10 points (5444) in the fourth quarter. However, Seiling erupted for 32 consecutive points down the stretch to secure the one-sided victory. The Wildcats used a prolific passing attack to open a 24-0 lead in the first quarter. SHS connected on TD passes of 9, 16 and 38 yards during the spree. They added 2-point conversion runs after each touchdown. Continued Page 10
School Blood Drive December 1 The chance to win a seven-day Caribbean cruise awaits Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) donors at Allen High School, Tuesday, December 1 st. The holiday blood drive will occur from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM in the gym lobby. Cruises, Inc. is providing the vacation cruise for two in hopes more will make blood donation a priority during the holiday season. A gift card to help with ground travel expenses to the port of Galveston, TX, will also be provided to the winning donor. Each
donor is guaranteed to receive a nautical-themed Tshirt as well as free health screenings. Anyone 16 years and older* is usually able to donate. Blood donation is a lifesaving gift that costs nothing but time. One blood donation can save as many as three lives in area hospitals. People with negative blood types are especially urged to give. Only 18 percent of the population has negative blood types, but those with these types must have negative type blood when needed. Okla-
homa Blood Institute is a nonprofit blood center that provides every drop of blood needed for patients in 154 hospitals across the state. “This community is blessed with giving people who respond when especially when they realize the urgency of the blood need,” said John Armitage, M.D., president and CEO of Oklahoma Blood Institute. “The gift of blood is a priceless one. It’s difficult to think of anything more important that we personally can do at this time of year.”

Last week we honored our veterans and most schools had special programs on November 11th. One of our readers shared the following . . . Students are great about sending our troops letters and the troops love ‘em. You can see why . . . Dear Soldier, “If you’re having a rough day, remember the most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman.” Dear Veterans, “You rock more than AC/DC or Metallica or Red Hot Chili Peppers.” “I am so happy you are risking your life for the USA! My grandpa, Bob, was in the Navy. Now he likes peanuts.” —CC— One of our “deer” hunting friends shared the following recently . . . A group of friends who went deer hunting separated into pairs for the day. That night, one hunter returned alone, staggering under an eight-point buck. “Where’s Harry?” asked another hunter. “He fainted a couple miles up the trail,” Harry’s partner answered. “You left him lying there alone and carried the deer back?” “A tough call,” said the hunter. “But I figured no one is going to steal Harry.” —CC— The holiday season has arrived. Some enjoy it . . . some don’t . . .and some get actually angry during this time of year. Be careful that you are not one of those that gets angry. Not only will Santa take you off his good list but you may also have a heart attack . . . Medical researchers increasingly are finding just how toxic outbursts of anger can be.

New evidence suggests people increase their risk for a heart attack more than eightfold shortly after an intensely angry episode. Anger can also help bring on strokes and irregular heartbeat, other research shows. And it may lead to sleep problems, excess eating and insulin resistance, which can help cause diabetes. “Anger is bad for just about everything we have going on physically,” says Redford Williams, director of the Behavioral Medicine Research Center at Duke University Medical Center and co-author of “Anger Kills: Seventeen Strategies for Controlling the Hostility That Can Harm Your Health.” Strong anger releases the hormones adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream, which can trigger an increase in heart rate, blood pressure and sugar metabolism. This is useful if the body requires a burst of energy to mount a physical attack. “Amongst cave men, the more angry you got, the more aggressive you were, the more food you got,” says Scott Wetzler, vice chairman of the department of psychiatry at Montefiore Medical Center in New York.

But too much anger can be harmful, especially for people already at risk for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S. About half of American adults have at least one of three key risk factors for heart disease: high blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol or a smoking habit. Over time, chronic anger can cause long-term damage to the heart, according to Dr. Williams of Duke. The increased adrenaline and cortisol levels raise blood pressure and cause the heart to work harder. Increased blood pressure and blood flow can also damage the lining of arteries and cause a buildup of fatty plaques, he said. A study published in March in the European Heart Journal: Acute Cardiovascular Care questioned more than 300 patients in a Sydney, Australia, hospital with confirmed heart attacks about any feelings of anger in the 48 hours before onset of the attack. Patients who had experienced intense anger had an 8.5 times greater risk of suffering a heart attack in the two hours after the outburst than they would normally. An intense outburst ranged from “very angry, body tense, maybe fists clenched, ready to burst,” to “enraged, out of control, throwing objects, hurting yourself or others.” Only seven patients in the study reported having had intense anger in the two hours before their heart attacks. “This study adds to the small, but growing, body of evidence linking acute emotional triggers with onset” of heart attack, the researchers wrote. The findings followed a review, published in the European Heart Journal last year, of nine previously conducted studies on anger and cardiovascular problems. Those studies, involving a combined 6,400 patients, found a higher rate of problems including strokes, heart attacks and arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, in the two hours following an outburst of anger. Two of the studies examined whether the risk of suffering ventricular arrhythmia, which occurs in the lower chambers of the heart, increased along with the intensity of the outburst, and found it did. Most doctors believe factors such as smoking and obesity pose greater heart risks than anger does. But if a person is already vulnerable to heart disease, an outburst can be an unhelpful trigger. “A person without many risk factors for cardiovascular disease with one anger episode a month has a very small additional risk. But a person with multiple risk factors or a history of heart attack or stroke who is frequently angry has a much higher absolute excess risk accumulated over time,” says Elizabeth Mostofsky, a postdoctoral fellow in the cardiovascular epidemiology research unit at Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, who helped lead the nine-study review. Most research on anger and health has focused on cardiovascular disease. But some older studies have suggested anger may also be linked to unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. A 1992 study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, involving 5,100 Americans age 18 to 30, found that higher levels of hostility were strongly associated with tobacco and marijuana smoking, increased alcohol consumption and greater caloric intake. The association was particularly strong for smoking. The same journal published other research that year showing that people who scored higher on hostility tests during college were significantly more likely to have larger body mass indexes and to be smokers when surveyed 20 years later, compared with people with lower hostility scores. A study involving 4,700 adults in South Korea found that high levels of anger were associated with sleep disturbances, including difficulty falling or staying asleep, and early morning awakening, according to results published in 2005 in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research. Findings associating anger with diabetes or the causes of diabetes have been mixed. A study of 643 men who weren’t taking diabetes medications showed that those with high levels of stress and hostility were more likely to have insulin resistance, a condition that can lead to diabetes because the cells don’t properly absorb glucose from the bloodstream. The study was published in 2006 in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. However, researchers who followed 12,000 initially nondiabetic adults for six years for the development of Type 2 diabetes found no relation between anger and the disease, according to a 2006 paper in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology. Joe Pereira, an anger-management counselor in Arlington, Mass., asks patients to keep a log of their anger bouts, including any physical changes they feel. Many describe an adrenaline rush, increased heart rate and muscle tension in the shoulders or chest. “Usually continued Page 14

Threads of Life by Cleo LeVally Kodachrome, what’s that? For that matter, are there any young people today who know what a camera is? The kind that uses film? They all have what I think is called the smart phone. They have never heard any information about cameras that use film. Recently I was at an event taking pictures and a friend was also there taking pictures on her phone. Later when I was at the newspaper office and was asked if I had a picture of a certain happening and I did not, I called the friend and asked if she had a print of this event and she answered yes. I asked her to bring it to the newspaper. She did and the copy of this print was number 92 on her phone. It took her awhile to being it up. I asked her is she was going to make any copies of any of those prints in order to be able to view them later and it seemed that it would take a lot of time to make a copy of
••• Things of the Past •••
those she wanted to save. She explained to me the process she could do to make copies off those she wanted to print in order to have permanent prints of them. There may be now someone will come up with a device that will take these prints off a persons smart phone and make copies or albums for them, so they can be saved, and get them off the phone. If you want to show someone a photograph now, you post it on email or maybe, flickr. Have you noticed that, in the drug stores and Walmart, the counters that used to take your film, develop it and make prints in one hour, are gone? They will direct you to a post where you can take the disc out of your camera, view and designate the ones you want prints of, if any. They will print them and have them ready in about one hour. I was a photographer in the 1960’s. In my ice box
Rites held for Paul West
Paul West, a resident of rural Henryetta, passed away on October 30, 2015 in Henryetta at the age of 92. He was born June 24, 1923 in Atwood, OK to Trenton and Oma (Deshields) West. Paul opened up Paul’s Western Store in 1970. He was a farmer-rancher, member of the Henryetta Church of the Nazarene, member of the Cattlemen’s Association, and worked some in the Real Estate business. He married Melba Thompson on June 11, 1943 in Holdenville, OK. Paul is survived by his wife Melba of the home; daughters, Latrisha Sherry and husband Bob of Atwood,
Gail West and husband Dick of Henryetta, Paula Brown and husband Bernie of Glenpool, and Shirley Flanary and husband Keith of Henryetta; grandchildren: Sharla Black, Walt Sherry, Michelle Lance, Kathy Bailey, Paul Brown, Mike B r o w n , Ry a n F l a n a r y and Jason Flanary; greatgrandchildren: Kelsey Sherry, Landyn Black, Jordan Black, Chance Doty, Trey West, Kade Bailey, Kannon Bailey, Madison Brown, Evan Brown, Avery Brown, Addison Brown, Chase Brown, Trenton Flanary, Taryn Flanary, Bennett Flanary, Anna Flanary and Qynn Flanary; great-greatgrandchildren: Traydon and Carter Doty.

I have film on rolls that include Vericolor III, a negative film, Kodak Tri-x Pan Film, Kodak Vericolor Film and three rolls of Kodak Ektachrome-X film. When I bought film then, I kept it in the ice box or freezer until I needed it. Several rolls have been
there a long time. I should put some of them on display along with my old cameras so it can be seen if anyone is interested. The way I got these old cameras I have in my collection, people would bring them to me and say, this old camera has been
Service held for Carolyn Blaylock Johnson
Carolyn (Blaylock) Johnson passed away on Saturday, November 14, 2015 at her home where family and close friends never left her side. Services for Carolyn Johnson were 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 18th, at First Baptist Church in Holdenville with Reverends David Pope and Ron Hunter officiating. Interment followed at Calvin Cemetery in Calvin, Oklahoma, under the direction of HudsonPhillips Funeral Home. Carolyn Johnson was born on December 30, 1956 in McAlester, Oklahoma to Harold Nall, Sr. and Betty Sue “Orr” Nall. Through her childhood, while attending Calvin Public Schools, she loved and excelled at playing basketball. Before graduating in 1975 Carolyn broke her Mama’s school shooting record in girls’ basketball and then held that title for at least 10 years. Carolyn went on to attend Cosmetology School in Ada, Oklahoma and later Wes Watkins Vo-Tech in Wetumka, Oklahoma where she received her
CNA certificate. Carolyn was most known for her infectious smile, helping others, her love of live music and dancing, always living life to the fullest, watching her kids and grandkids play sports, being second Mama to many through the years and all of her “Hilda” moments. Let’s just say it only takes seconds for a car to roll swiftly away and for Carolyn to demand a friend “Go get it!” and approximately 5 minutes for ribs on the grill to go from cooking to needing a fire truck and when asking for a peanut butter and jelly and scrambled egg sandwich one must state that they’re two different sandwiches not peanut butter, jelly and egg. There are many more “Hilda” moments that will never be forgotten and will continue to put a smile on someone’s face. Carolyn dedicated 20 years to the Moss Athletic Booster Club and 27 years to the Moss FFA & 4-H Parent Club, supporting her kids, grandkids and many other Moss kids. She also gladly served as a pianist at Banner Baptist Church in Horntown for 23 years and Fairview Cowboy Church for 8 years. Carolyn gained many friends during her career endeavors at People’s State Bank, Hair Power, Numas Salon, all in Holdenville; Second Chance, Wetumka; HealthBack Home Health, Holdenville General Hospital, Holdenville Family Medical Clinic, all in Holdenville; and most recently Alliance Health, Seminole.

One Pharmacist’s View I had several readers that commented about last week’s story about my struggle to get through airport security. That wasn’t the first time and it may not be the last. A few years ago in Toronto, Canada I was detained for about 30 minutes while “trained” agents went through my carry-on searching for whatever. The center of their interest focused on my camera bag, which contained a bunch of those little 35mm film cans. They were empty and they acted like they had never seen a roll of 35mm film before. Plus, my 5 year old, Steve had placed some souvenir empty balloons in there which I

It is said that when the British and French were fighting in Canada in the 1750s, Admiral Phipps, commander of the British fleet, was told to anchor outside Quebec. He was given orders to wait for the British land forces to arrive, then support them when they attacked the city. As he waited, he became annoyed by the statues of the saints that adorned a nearby cathedral, so he commanded his men to shoot at them with the ships’ cannons. No one knows how many rounds were fired or how many statues were knocked out, but when the land forces arrived and the signal was given to attack, the admiral was of no help. He had used all his ammunition shooting at the “saints.” Are we Christians sometimes our own worst enemy? Do we spend so much time “shooting” at one another that we have nothing left with which to fight our real enemy – the Devil? How can Christians convince the unbelieving world that Jesus loves them and died for them if His followers are “shooting” at one another? The Apostle Paul may have compared the Christians at Galatia to a pack of dogs when he wrote, “But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by
my own self. Abruptly troopers told us we could get up and get out. The only thing that had saved us was that the real killers were caught just north of town. I was irate and complained to the eager TV cameras that were there about how they had trashed the car. Finally they relented and helped us put stuff back, we went on back to the ship and that was the end of that. Except I got on TV that night. No thanks. Have a good weekend and try not to look like a crook. And go to church Sunday. Wayne Bullard, DPh waynebullard@sbcglobal.net

Allen watches Seiling pull away in fourth quarter
Allen followed with Colten Browning’s 38yard touchdown run later in the first period. Browning also tacked on a successful conversion run to make it a 24-8 score.  In the second quarter, the Mustangs outscored the home team 22-14 to pull to within 38-30 going into the halftime break. Seiling used a 60-yard punt return and a conversion run to up the lead to 32-8. Allen countered with Ty Brown’s 7-yard TD pass from Colton Frederick to get to within 18 points at 32-14. Seiling responded with a 28-yard run to swell the lead to 38-14. The Mustangs stormed back with a pair of touchdowns later in the second quarter. Garrett Wallace scored on a 10yard touchdown run. Garrett Wallis provided the conversion run to make it a 38-22 game. Allen then went to the air for Ty Brown’s 20yard pass from Colton Frederick. Tadyn Walker added the conversion run to close the deficit to 38-30 at the break. In the third quarter, the Wildcats outscored Allen two TDs to one.
Seiling used a 12-yard pass and added a conversion run to pull ahead 46-30.   Allen followed with C o l t o n F r e d e r i c k ’s 3-yard touchdown run and Joe Howshar’s conversion run to make it a 46-38 contest. Seiling had one more answer in the third stanza. The Wildcats tallied a TD on a 65-yard scoring toss. They also added a conversion run to make it a 54-38 game. Allen was down but the Mustangs refuse to fold. They opened the fourth quarter with Tadyn Walker’s 63-yard TD pass from Frederick. The effort to get to within eight points failed on a pass play, leaving AHS down 54-44. The close contest evaporated over the remaining minutes of the fourth quarter. Seiling pulled away with four consecutive touchdowns. The Wildcats ran for a 39-yard TD, passed for a 6-yard score, ran for 42 yards and finished off the touchdown spree with a 6-yard rushing TD. They added conversions after each touchdown to secure the 8644 final score. Allen generated some solid offensive numbers
in the playoff loss on Friday. The Mustangs rushed for 308 yards and passed for 222 yards. The 530 yards of total offense was impressive. Colton Frederick was outstanding in the quarterback position. He was 8-14-0 passing for 222 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also rushed 11 times for 67 yards and a touchdown. Colten Browning was the leading rusher with 132 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. Ty Brown was the leading receiver. Brown had five catches for 108 yards and 2 touchdowns. Â The season did not end like Allen coaches and players had hoped. However, the team battled back to six wins and a playoff appearance under new head coach Steven Caldwell. ---

Mock Wreck and Impaired Driving demonstration held A Mock Car Wreck and Impaired driving event was presented at Allen high school on November 4, from 10:00am-12:00pm. This event, meant to coincide closely with Red Ribbon Week, is a first-time collaboration between the Chickasaw Nation and the community of Allen to prevent underage drinking and substance abuse, as well as the potential consequences of these choices. The event will consist of a Mock Drunk Driving scene that will represent an impaired driving accident, followed by a debriefing in the auditorium where students received a prevention messaging from OHP/local police, school admin, and
other students and teachers. The Chickasaw Nation Stratigic E Prevention Health Education department Caleb Shahbandeh and Miranda Willis, department worked closely with Principal James and Mrs. Melonie Johnson (Librarian and Student Council Sponsor) at the school, received school board approval for the event, and will be offering gift cards to students who wish to participate in a survey with parental consent. Jodi Watkins of Allen Iron provided the wrecked car and Allen Police Department Eric Niblett and Light Horse officer Hunter Nickell gave a demostration of field tests that are peformed on drivers who
are suspected of Impaired driving. Officer Teel from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol discussed the dangers of driving impaired. As part of a federal grant a comprehensive, data driven and communitylevel Substance Abuse Prevention program for the Chickasaw Nation is being established. The Strategic Prevention FrameworkTribal Incentive Grant (SPF-TIG) is funded by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA); and the goal of the grant is to build substance abuse prevention capacity at the community-level and to develop culturally appropriate and effective interventions that reduce substance abuse
and its consequences. This grant was awarded to the Oklahoma InterTribal Consortium (OITC) which includes five tribal organizations: the Absentee Shawnee Tribe, Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, the Chickasaw Nation, Comanche Nation, and the Oklahoma Area Inter-Tribal Health Board (OAITHB).
“The Chickasaw Nation Strategic Prevention Framework- Tribal Incentive Grant (SPF-TIG) team would like to thank the Allen community, Allen Public Schools, Allen Iron and Metal, Allen Police Department, the Allen Advocate, Chickasaw Nation Lighthorse Police, and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol for making the mock car wreck event successful.

the more intense the experience of anger, the more physical sensations they have,” he says. He and other anger experts recommend certain steps for curbing hostility. One is to avoid assuming others are purposely attempting to harm or annoy you. “Someone may say something to you and the impact may be hurtful. But that isn’t necessarily their intent,” says Mr. Pereira. It is also helpful to learn to tolerate unfairness in the world, and to avoid having rigid rules about how others should behave. “The more rules we have, the more people are going to break them. And that makes us more angry because they’re not doing what we want them to,” Mr. Pereira says. Taking a timeout when gripped by anger is also a good idea, experts say. Someone prone to shouting could say, “I’m very hot headed. I often say things that don’t help the situation. It would help me if I could have 10 minutes and then maybe we could work together to resolve the situation,” says Karina Davidson, director of the Center for Behavioral Cardiovascular Health at Columbia University Medical Center. — Jeanne Whalen The Wall Street Journal —CC— Although it’s unhealthy to get angry, sometimes it is difficult not to . . . for example: Have you ever noticed that when you’re of a certain age, everything seems uphill from where you are? Stairs are steeper. Groceries are heavier. And, everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become! And, that’s not all. People are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they’re red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader? And they drive so fast today! You’re risking life and limb if you just happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror. Even clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices that these things no longer fit around the waist, hips, thighs, and bosom? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank, but in reverse. Do they think I actually “believe” the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they’re fooling? I’d like to call up someone in authority to report what’s going on-but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy. They’ve printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in there! All I can do is pass along this warning: Maturity is under attack! Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities.

Sunday we received a special blessing when Kelsey Sherry joined with Sara Chapman to sing our special “Bless the Lord O My Soul.” Sara played the piano and Kelsey played the drums. Always good to hear our young people singing. Bro Larry’s sermon was taken from Deuteronomy 6:1-9 and entitled “The Secret to a Joyful Life.” God wants us to live joyful
lives. Much of the Bible and our own experience indicates that few people seem to be living such lives. Israel’s experience seems to be one of constant struggle. In fact all of human history seems to be filled with wars, disasters and calamities. Joy is not dependent upon favorable circumstances. Moses delivered these words to Israel as they were about to enter the Promised
Land. They would inherit the promises of God only through perseverance. The greatest promise they had been given was that God would be with them. The secret to a joyful life is keeping God first. “Hear, O Israel...” In this instance hearing must go far deeper than the physical sense. To “hear” is to take it to heart, and begin living as though we really believe it! Unless we are living by
