Halloween is Friday night and Philip Gulley shared the thoughts of many of us when he wrote the following:
For nine years, my wife and I lived in the city, down a long lane, next to the Quaker meeting I pas to red . Our f i r s t Halloween, we loaded up on candy, anticipating a horde of pirates, ghosts, and witches. But the lane was dark and spooky and not one kid showed up, so for the next month, we ate mini Snickers for dessert at every meal, even breakfast. Then we moved to a small town, and carloads of urchins mobbed our home at Halloween, swarming our front door like rats on raw meat. After the first hour, we were out of candy and began emptying our cupboard to beat back the mob, doling out squares of baking chocolate, sugar cubes, packets of Sweet’N Low. When we ran out of treats, they began TP’ing our trees, soaping our windows, and igniting paper sacks of manure on our porch. It was wonderfully nostalgic, reminding me of my childhood, and I went to bed happy.
We made the mistake of leaving our pumpkin outside, and woke the next morning to fi nd it splattered on the street in front of our house.
“And they say the youth of today have no gumption!” I said to my wife, thrilled to be living in a town whose youth weren’t adverse to labor. If you’ve ever hefted a pumpkin over your head to smash it, you’ll know it’s no easy task.
It wasn’t as if I were out any money. I got the pumpkin free at the hardware store in our town. If you wait until Halloween to get your pumpkin, as I do, the hardware man will pay you to take it off his hands. Nor did I invest much time carving the pumpkin. Triangle eyes, a square nose, and a gap-toothed smile. I’ve carved every pumpkin the exact same way since I was 6 years old and my parents fi rst entrusted me with a knife.
I remember that day well, because I still have the scar. While blood was spurting in a high arc from my forearm, my father said, “Yep, that’s a cut all right. Looks like you hit an artery.” My father exposed me to danger early and often so the lessons would stick. Sever an artery once, and you’ll think twice before doing it again, I guarantee it.
But things changed on the Halloween front. Parents horned in on what had been
a kid’s affair. Children were no longer turned loose to fi nd their own costumes, there was no more rifl ing through the attic for hobo clothes. Costume stores began sprouting up, and parents shelled out 50 bucks for their kid to be a ninja, a Spiderman, or a ballerina. Costumes became the measure of parental worth.
Around the same time as the outbreak of costume stores, someone discovered there was money to be made selling pumpkin-carving kits. There were no kits in my day, by cracky. A steak knife from the silverware drawer suffi ced. Gone were the pumpkins w i t h p e r f e c t l y g o o d triangle eyes and noses and gap-toothed smiles. Then someone, Martha Stewart, I think, wrote a magazine article about decorating with pumpkins, and, before long, pumpkins were sculpted by adults, not carved by kids. That was when Halloween began floating belly-up in the holiday fi shbowl. Martha Stewart was sent to jail, but for entirely the wrong reason.
Now, God help us, parents are accompanying their children door to door. I would have sooner stayed home than had my parents
tag along the night of Halloween. What is a boy to do when, in the presence of his parents, he must administer a well-deserved trick to the grouch down the street? His hand dips furtively into the folds of the costume to withdraw a bar of soap, only to have his father, who has forgotten the pure joy of delinquency, give him the stink eye. What have we become?
Certain pastors I know get all worked up about C h r i s t m a s l o s i n g i t s meaning. This pastor is fi ne with Christmas. I want to return Halloween to its former glory. So I’m starting a movement to reclaim Halloween. First, no more adults poking their noses in where they don’t belong. If a kid wants to go trick-or-treating, the kid will have to come up with the costume, not the parent. No more store-bought costumes. It will be against the law. Second, every fourth house will have to hand out popcorn balls. There is no candy bar in the world that compares with a popcorn ball, but no one hands them out anymore. My movement will promise a popcorn ball in every Halloween bag.
If this sounds good to you, I urge you to write in my name during the next presidential election so I can get these, and other, crucial problems solved.

Just as I sat down at my computer today, the question popped into my mind. Who am I? Am I an author? I have written and published some books. Am I a designer? I have designed clothing using Seminole patchwork designs and have taught and shown these designs in two states over a number of years. Am I a newspaper columnist? I currently write a column that is published in two weekly newspapers. Am I a photographer? I took pictures and was a studio owner for almost s e v e n t e e n y e a r s a n d continue to take pictures
and write for newspapers. Am I a historian? I have researched family histories for four different ancestral lines. (Each of the paternal and maternal lines of both parents.) Who am I?
I am a long time member of the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and taught many Sunday School Classes over the years. I worked seventeen years for the telephone company as a statistician in the directory department, as an operator on the switchboard and as a business office manager. I worked twenty f ive years f i l l ing out income tax records both in
Healdton and in Ardmore. I worked in my husbands law office for 10 years as office manager, I was a Chamber of Commerce Secretary for 3 years. I work in the community serving on boards for Healdton Beautiful, Chamber of Commerce, Oil Museum Board, Sunset School Museum, Wirt Franklin Memorial Room at Sunset School, was a member of the Chickasaw Regional Library Board for two, six year terms, helped organize S.O.R.C., the four cities coalition, and am a life member of Epsilon Sigma Alpha Sorority.
I have written a column since 1992 and have written about many subjects. As I read over the things I have listed, this sounds like a lot, however, when you are
a member of a community, this is just a partial list of things that need to be done and when you live in any community, you need to do your part.

Tim Costner, D.V.M
The patriotic fervor that kicked up after 9-11 in America has died down a bit and that is to be expected. After almost non-stop wars, police actions, interventions or whatever you wish to call ‘em, Americans have drawn weary of war. Especially those of someone else’s making. After WW II and Korea we found ourselves sacrificing our youth for other people’s freedom. A noble thing I’m sure. But after WWII the combat in these wars were not only on the newsreels, they were on something new called TV. The war was suddenly in our living rooms and we Americans didn’t like fi ghting what they perceived as somebody else’s war being fought by their sons.
If the war in Vietnam was a mistake the war(s) in the
Middle East were just as bad. A hot miserable place whose weird and strange population hate us with a vengeance and are at war with America. At fi rst it was just with each other but after the Taliban (whoever that is) fl ew some airplanes into the World Trade Center we’ve been at war with them. Sort of. The Arabs say the Jews did it knowing full well that it wasn’t. It’s a strange war in which our guys still get mangled and killed just like they do in declared wars—wars like WWII. Out of all these wars America had her heroes. Some of America’s favorites as listed in the latest edition of “American Legion” include such well known
heroes as Audie Murphy, G e o rg e Wa s h i n g t o n , Theodore Roosevelt, Alvin York, George Pat ton, D w i g h t E i s e n h o w e r, John F. Kennedy, George H. W. Bush, Norman Schwarzkopf, Robert E. Lee, Jimmy Doolittle and Ulysses Grant.
I usually let my mind drift back to WWII when I think of my very favorite veteran. I think of my Uncle Ezra. Ezra is one of my Mom’s brothers and graduated from Lula High School right before the big war. By 1942 Ezra had married his high school sweetheart, Paralee Hudgens, and had a baby boy named Lonnie. He left them both behind to go fi ght for his country.
E z r a w a s i n c o m m u n i c a t i o n s a n d made landings on islands with strange names like Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Truk or Papua. They all had one thing in common—they were a nightmare—a nightmare of bogs, stinks, slops and pestilence—of scum-crested lagoons and evil swamps inhabited by giant crocodiles. Spiders were as big as your fist and wasps as long as you finger, strange lizards, tree leeches, scorpions, centipedes whose fearful scurrying across human skin left a trail of infl ammation and blood. Mosquitoes came in clouds—bringing malaria, dengue other exotic diseases fevers that western medicine had never heard of. To further complicate things—the places were crawling with Japs.
Ezra’s outfi ts’ job was to string wire to the front lines and set up communications. Most of the men in his outfi t were eventually killed or wounded. Back then a broken arm or having your back full of shrapnel didn’t earn you a trip back to the hospital. You were treated
and sent right back to the front... when the awful series of island invasions kept on until the war was over. But Ezra was still there. He and some other more experienced “survivors” were then fl own to Sasebo, Japan to facilitate communications during the surrender. They may have been the first troops to land there and he said he was pretty nervous as he and his squad walked across the runway there at Sasebo. He wondered if he had survived hell itself to be shot dead by one of the armed Japanese escorts that escorted them to the communications building.
If it were not for Harry
Truman dropping the A bombs we would have been forced into an invasion of the mainland itself. Many think that a million more American boys would have died. So just let me say to the memory of those brave guys who suffered so much in an impossible war—Thanks. And thank you President Truman for having the guts to end it when you did. If you see a veteran be sure and thank him or her for their service to their country. And be sure and go to church Sunday.
Wayne Bullard, DPhw a y n e b u l l a r d @

Are all churches the same? Do they all obey the commands of Christ? Do they all teach everything taught in the Scriptures? The Apostle Paul warned that “men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.” (Acts 20:30, NIV) When men distorted the truth as the Apostle warned and led disciples away, establishing their own churches, is there not any difference?
Is a church that has been established by men hundreds of years after Jesus was on earth, the same as the one established by Jesus and His Apostles? Is a church that has added something to the worship that was not used in New Testament time the same as one that still worships as did New Testament Christians? Is not a church that has departed from New Testament teaching different than one that still
follows New Testament teaching?
If all churches of today have departed from the New Testament truth, then we are all the same! None of us please God. Can we be what the Lord wants for His church and teach the commandments of men? Jesus said that our worship is useless if we are following the commands of men. “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’” (Matthew 15:8-9)
If we would please Jesus Christ, the head of the church, surely, we must teach and practice the truth as found in His word. According to 2 Timothy 3 :16-17 , God’s word will make us “complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Isn’t the Apostle saying that His word is all we need to guide us into being everything God wants us to be? The question is, “are we going to obey it, or are we going follow the commands of men!”

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondentThe Allen Mustangs will
attempt to get back on the winning track this Friday evening. Coach Kenny Deaton’s Mustangs will host Geary in another crucial
District B-2 showdown.Allen is coming off a
painful 54-6 loss last week at Maysville. The Warriors
dominated the contest and pinned another league loss on Allen. The setback came on the heels of the Mustangs’ B-2 loss to the Maud Tigers.
Coach Deaton realizes
how the playoff hopes have been damaged with those two league losses. Allen was also beaten in Week 3 by Alex. That makes 3 losses in B-2 play for the Mustangs. The longtime
coach is determined to avoid a fourth loss by his team.
The Mustangs are still stinging from last week’s beating.
Mustangs need B-2 victory on Senior Night

Mustang football players to be honored this Friday evening are Layne Cross, Jason Holcomb, Aaron Manuel, Justin Deaton, Dakota Nickell and Patrick Leonard. Not pictured is Jeffrey Dodd, or AHS band member Leonard Finney.

Back to back losses to Maud and Maysville have put Allen in a tight spot
“Maysville is a very good football team,” Coach Deaton said. “You can’t make the mental mistakes we did and beat a good football team like Maysville. We’ll regroup and get ready for Geary. Geary defeated Cyril last night, so this week’s game will determine the final playoff spot in our district, in all likelihood.”
In addition to the game being pivotal, it will also be emotional for another reason.
“This will also be the last home game for our seven seniors,” he said. “We need all the fans to show up and support these young men and this team as they strive to make back-to-back playoff appearances.”
Last Friday, Maysville came out on fire. The Warriors scored 28 points in the first quarter.
Allen’s only response came af ter the squad fell behind 20-0. Colten Browning snared a 25-yard pass from Justin Deaton to cut the deficit to 20-6.
Maysville countered with a touchdown pass to push the lead out to 28-6 at the end of the first quarter.
The Warr iors added another TD in the second quarter to grab a 34-6 halftime advantage.
After the break, Maysville scored 14 points in the third quarter and 6 point on the first play of the fourth quarter. That last tally ended the game at 11:59 with the Warriors ahead by 48 points, 54-6. It ended there on the 45-point mercy rule.
The stat sheet tells the story of this game. Maysville owned a 17 to 8 edge in
first downs. The Warriors also piled up 475 yards to the 114 managed by the Mustangs.
The balanced Maysville attack generated 221 yards on the ground and 254 yards in the air.
Allen’s offensive attack included 76 yards rushing and 38 yards receiving.
I n p a s s i n g , J u s t i n Deaton was 4-of- 15 for 38 yards, 1 TD and a pair of interceptions. Colby Eaker was 0-for-1 for 0 yards and 1 interception. Colten Browning had 1 reception for 25 yards and a touchdown.
Dakota Nickell caught 3 passes for 13 yards.
The Mustang ground game was led by Dalton James with 7 carries for 30 yards. Justin Deaton scrambled for 20 yards on 7 carries. Dakota Nickell was third in rushing with 3 carries for 18 yards.
On defense , Patr ick Leonard was the top tackler with 11 stops. Colten Browning also landed in double digits in tackles with 10. Dalton James followed with 7 tackles while Colten Frederick added 6.
Justin Deaton was credited with forcing a Maysville f u m b l e a n d q u i c k l y making the recovery for the defense.
Several members of the Allen team made great plays at Maysville. However, Coach Deaton knows that success this Friday is critical to the playoff situation for the Mustangs. A full team effort will be needed to take the step toward a top four finish in the league standings.

The recent stretch of mellow autumn sunshine is almost as nice as a good two-day rain in August.
I learned from the Bible Trivia section of this week’s church bulletin that Salem, Massachusetts was the first place in New England to be given a biblical name. Salem is a shortened form of Jerusalem, which means “city of peace.” It’s sad that a town given a Biblical name is now known largely for the Salem witch trials. Well, that and Nathanial Hawthorne’s House of Seven Gables.
Joyce Searcy sang “In the Garden” as the special music selection this week. It is one of the most beautiful songs in the hymn book and, as always, Joyce certainly did it justice.
Rev. Karch’s message was from Isaiah, chapter 6, and was titled “Steps to Spreading the Gospel.” It first requires that, like any good sports team, we be prepared mentally and committed to our goal.
Step 1 is the cleansing of our lives. God will change our lives if we ask him to do this. We then prepare to live each day by praying and reading scripture. People should see that our actions, speech, and attitude bear witness to our relationship with Jesus.
Step 2 is to be willing and available to do God’s work. We will almost certainly face adversity in this work. Diligently keeping our lives and attitudes clean and continuing with scripture reading and prayer are continually needed.
Step 3 is don’t quit until there is no one on earth left to tell about Jesus and no one who has not accepted Jesus as their savior.

Sunday our pastor was out of town, so Rev. Lowell Churchill and his wife Kaylene, filled in for him. The Churchills were our church family in 1978. We have fond memories of them and their children.
We had a large group of children and enjoyed hearing them sing. We especially enjoyed having Bethany Chandler sing
“Jesus Loves Me”. A new group consisting of Gary, Tochie, Jeff, Matt and Ken sang “What a Day That Will Be.” We have a lot of musical talent in the church.
Saturday Trisha will be having a children’s Halloween party at her house at 2:00. It is a community event so everyone is invited. Sunday night at 4:00 we will have our annual hayride and
wiener roast. Meet at the church.
We want to encourage you to come to our “Fall Festival” on Saturday, November 1st, from 9 till 2. We will have lots of vendors with many new items that we have not had before. Come at noon and eat dinner with us. We will have soups, chili and lots of desserts.
