Masonic Breakfast

Two very special seniors were honored Tuesday, September 8th, for their participation in Allen’s fast-pitch softball pro-gram. These two girls have a t tended Al len Schools since pre-k. They are both very involved in many activities in school. These girls are truly stu-dent athletes as they both excel in the classroom as well as in sports and other

extra-curricular activities. Both girls have been great leaders for the softball team this year and starters in the infield. When these girls graduate, they will be missed in all areas of Allen schools.

The first young lady rec-ognized was Taryn Wof-ford. She is the daugh-ter of Shawn and Shan-non Wofford and has one brother. Taryn has been

involved in softball all four years of high school and many years of travel teams before that. She was chosen as All-Confer-ence her sophomore year. Taryn has played catcher all of her life because she said “I am scared of the ball.” Taryn is active in FCCLA and has held of-fices at the local, district and state levels. She has also won two Gold Med-

als in STAR events at the National level. She is also involved in our FFA program this year and shows four sheep babies. Taryn has been the mascot for our cheer team and is well-known for her danc-ing skills. Taryn plans to attend Oklahoma State University after she gradu-ates from high school.

Also recognized was Hannah Heck. She is the

daughter of Rick and Kay Heck and has five sib-lings. Hannah has played softball the last two years and plays second base for the Lady Mustangs. She is in her fourth year playing basketball and is a four-year member of the cheer team. Hannah is also active in FCCLA and is an officer. She has competed and won at the National level for the past three years. Hannah is also a Student Council Of-ficer and has been a class officer for several years. After graduation, Hannah plans to attend East Cen-tral University.

Seniors Taryn & Hannah are Honored

Many of us grew up hoping one day to be in the Guinness World Record Book. To my knowledge none of us did. However we always enjoyed reading

about those that did. That book is celebrating its 60th birthday this year.

Jerry Cianciolo writes . . . The pinnacle of achieve-ment for wannabe celebri-ties and bona fide freaks, the “Guinness World Re-cords” book celebrates its 60th year of publication this month—comforting news for those who crave attention.

Say you lack the talent to create the next big thing, or flubbed a reality-show tryout, or are sick and tired of karaoke. You can still command the stage, if only fleetingly, by establishing a world record. And with 40,000 certified records in its database, many of them breakable, the world of Guinness is certainly a narcissist’s oyster (inci-dentally, the largest oyster on record measured nearly 14 inches in length).

Bend 13 iron bars across your head in one minute and you’ll top the current record of 12 held by a Rus-sian strongman. If you can withstand the pressure, try surpassing the number of mousetraps released on the tongue in 60 seconds (a painful 53). Are you a foodie? Then you can bite into the record for the most jelly eaten with chopsticks in one minute (664 grams or just under a pound-and-a-half). The world will beat a path to your door, or at the very least you’ll be featured on Buzz-Feed, OMG Facts and Reddit.

Originally published in 1955, the annual “Guin-ness World Records” book has sold more than 130 million copies according to the company’s web-site, and has been trans-

lated into more than 25 languages. The book’s mission, says Guinness, is “to inspire ordinary peo-ple to do extra-ordinary things.”

Extraordinary is in the eye of the beholder. Guin-ness’s meat and potatoes (largest meat pie measured 32 feet long by seven feet, seven inches wide) are what might kindly be called “curious: achieve-ments. One Ohio wom-an nabbed a place in the 2015 book for building the world’s largest yo-yo, some 12 feet in diameter and weighing more than 4,600 pounds. An archer in California achieved glory by virtue of shoot-ing an arrow 20 feet . . . with her foot. And an enterprising Danish man secured a place in poster-ity by creating the world’s longest useable golf club. It measures more than 14 feet and could be what Ti-ger Woods needs to regain his stroke.

In a 2008 interview, GWR’s editor in chief, Craig Glenday, said the publication gets 40,000 to 50,000 record claims each year, 95% of which never make it into the book. So many, in fact, that Mr. Glenday and his staff “made the applica-tion process much more time consuming and de-tailed.” This deters frivo-lous claims and helps his staff process the claims more efficiently.

That many record seek-ers can’t all be bored kids. So one has to wonder why anyone sets aside time for these pursuits. Certainly the mother of Dietmar Loeffler, a German who holds the record for the

most times hit by a car in two minutes (that would be eight), was horrified by his accomplishment.

The allure must be no-toriety, and the “Guin-ness World Records” book seems the perfect venue for egotists with small egos (big egos run for president). Speaking of which, President Obama this past May shattered the record for the fastest time (under five hours) to reach one million fol-lowers on Twitter. But as often happens with Guinness records, Mr. Obama’s @POTUZS was eclipsed weeks later by Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, whose @Caitlyn_Jenner attracted a million followers in four hours and three minutes.

It’s perfect symmetry that the “Guinness World Records” book might owe its very existence to a display of ego. Sir Hugh Beaver, chairman of the Guinness Brewery, was hunting game birds in 1951 when “he misses a shot at a golden plover,” according to company lore. Rather than question his own reflexes or aim, as many would do, Sir Hugh blamed the target and wondered if the plover was the fastest game bird in Europe. He couldn’t find a reference book to answer his question and the rest, as they say, s his-tory.

Whether you find the “Guinness World Re-cords” book fascinating or dispiriting, the com-pany deserves kudos for its business acumen and marketing prowess. By tapping into our thirst for attention, the folks at Guinness have trans-formed what essentially is bathroom reading into a perennial powerhouse. As a publisher myself I salute their robust profits. Still, when Robert Brown-ing said, “A man’s reach should exceed his grasp or what’s a heaven for,” I doubt he was talking about the grasp of Melvin Boothe, whose fingernails had a combined length of 32 feet, 3.8 inches, a re-cord set in troy Michigan on May 30, 2009.

—CC— I haven’t set any records

but I played a lot of them when I was disc jockey for several years.

My wife almost made the record book . . . short-ly after we married I en-tered her in a hamburger eating contest at David’s Mini Market.

Sadly she disappointed me, losing the champi-onship to Frankie Buck. She refused to enter an-other one.

—CC— And speaking of food,

a friend told me this past week about his new diet. He said you can eat what-ever you want, whenever you want, and as much as you want.

He added, “You don’t lose any weight, but it’s really easy to stick to.”

by Cleo LeVallyIf anyone has a portable

78 RPM record player, I would like to borrow it for a few days so that I can play and listen to some records I found in one of my bookshelves. I found two Elvis Presley albums that I guess have been there for years, two Bob Wills albums and a Charlie Pride album.

Just looking at them brought back a lot of memories. Phylece my daughter, was a bigger Elvis Presley fan then I am, but the Bob Wills Album is one I can really relate to.

When I was in high

school in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s, some days when I would go home for lunch, houses along the street had their windows open and I could hear the radios playing music by Bob Wills and I would sing the songs along with his band as I walked home for lunch. I knew words to all the songs in those days

They were San Antonio Rose, Trouble in Mind, Take me Back to Tulsa, Roly, Poly, Time Changes Everything, Miss Molly, The Convict and the Rose and San Antonio Rose.

Bob Wills and his band were very popular in those days and I went to several dances where his band played. The crowds ware so large, there was no room to dance. Mostly you just stood on the floor with

your partner and swayed to the music. It was a little before the time of the El-vis Presley for me. That came along when Phylece was in high school.

The pictures of Elvis Presley on these albums

show a very young El-vis. Phylece graduated in 1979, so the date of the albums I have must be in the 1960’s.

I would love to hear them but I have no record player for these 78 records. Oh! I found a date. The records have a copyright date of 1970.

Last week I wrote about my Grandpa, J. T. Bullard. He was a pretty economi-cal man to say the least but I still am amazed at his farming and ranching ad-ventures. He raised fields of feed, corn, potatoes and acres of watermelons. His pride and joy were the melons which he sold commercially in places such as Talihina, Wister and Poteau while winning blue ribbons at the Leflore County Fair.

My brother Gerald and me picked up and gath-ered zillions of potatoes one summer down there and would have had him

arrested for child labor law infractions if we could have figured out how to do it. Later my brother Ger-ald compared our situation to that of the prisoners of war featured in the movie “Bridge Over The River Kwai” with grandpa be-ing (of course) the evil Jap Commandant.

But how did he farm without a tractor? He farmed all this land (210 acres) with only horse-powered implements. He also ran a good number of cows on open range in the Wolf Mountain area.

How in the world he got around to do all this I have no idea. When I asked him one day if he ever thought about buying a tractor or a pickup he just looked at me like I was an idiot. But my brother Gerald was a progressive thinker and decided to drag grandpa into the 20th century. How? Well, stay tuned.

Most of our horror sto-ries of digging potatoes, covering planted water-melon seeds with pages out of a catalog (to keep the seed from being eaten by birds) and other back-busting sweat-producing labors took place in the 1940’s. A time of war. The war wrought a lot of change to America, espe-cially farming. Gerald had a plan that would drag grandpa into the modern world.

In 1940 the U.S. govern-ment advertised for U.S. auto companies to create a prototype vehicle for the army to use. It had to be tough, powerful and economical. It would be able to ford small streams, climb steep inclines and travel though the muddiest road while carrying cargo or even pulling a trailer loaded with supplies. In 49 days a company called “Willis Truck Compa-ny” trotted out a working prototype--a 4-wheeled vehicle with seating for four, a stout 4-cylinder en-gine, hitches and 4-wheel drive. You could let the windshield down flat for fresh air. It was tough. They called it a Jeep.

When the war ended, Dwight David Eisenhow-er, General of the Army, said we couldn’t have won the war without it. It became and remains a very famous and durable little vehicle. But sud-denly (in 1945) the U.S. government owned gobs

of them and no war. So they auctioned them off. Thousands were hauled to Tinker in Oklahoma City and auctioned off. Sud-denly they were all over the place. Did I say they were cheap?

Local Stonewall gro-cer, Carl Turner bought one real cheap and after he got tired of it he and Gerald plotted to sell it to my Grandpa. It was time to bring him into the 20th century. So they drove down there--in that jeep. Grandpa was interested in the machine and he seemed to be ready to buy. They drove down to my Uncle Herman’s gas station just down the road and gas was selling some-where around 21 cents a gallon. Grandpa did some

figuring and said there was no way he would be out expenses such as that and my brother and Carl returned to Stonewall dis-appointed.

Grandpa continued to farm successfully up on Goat Ridge for the rest of his life voting Republican and being a Methodist and didn’t seem to regret hav-ing to ride his big black horse everywhere he went. In fact, he seemed satis-fied. That’s more than you can say about a lot of other people I know who buy gas.

Hope you have a good weekend and that you can ride your horse or drive your car to church this Sunday.

Last weekend, which was Labor Day weekend, is often used by many people to enjoy their pleasures, whether family gatherings, playing golf, an outing at the lake, fish-ing or something similar. It is unfortunate that some Christians in their desire to enjoy such pleasures put their own pleasures ahead of honoring Jesus by being in worship. They not only demonstrate more love for their pleasures than for the Lord, but they also dis-obey His commandment by forsaking the assembly of the saints. (Hebrews 10:23-25)

Should not worship of God and keeping His com-mandments be given a higher priority than our desires and pleasures on the day He has set aside to honor Him in worship?

Jesus made it clear that He expected us to deny our-selves to follow Him. He said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” (Matt 16:24) Surely, none of us think we are follow-ing Jesus when we choose to fulfill our pleasures on the Lord’s Day rather than remembering the Lord by the celebrating of the Lord’s Supper!

Hasn’t the Lord given us six days each week to fulfill our needs and plea-sures? If we steal the only day He has set aside for Himself, doesn’t it seem selfish and ungrateful of us? Jesus said the first commandment was to love God with all of our heart. (Matthew 22:37) Can we really claim that we love God with all our heart if we disobey Him and choose our pleasures rather than honoring Him in worship? If we choose our pleasure over com-manded worship of God, what occupies first place in our heart?

Hannah Heck provides only hit with 2-run single for Allen

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen Lady Mustangs struggled to generate of-

fense or scoring in their recent showdown with the Tupelo Lady Tigers.

Allen played the 4-inning run-rule game on September 1st at Tulepo High School.

Coach Cady Byrnes’ Lady Mustangs fell behind 3-0 in the first in-

ning and 4-0 in the second in-

ning.In the top of the third frame,

Allen used a little help from Tu-pelo to plate a pair of runs.

The Lady Mustangs’ rally opened with Chelsea Wedlow reaching base on a one-out hit-by-pitch. The next bat-

ter grounded out to second base for the second out.

F a i t h Caldwell then used an error by the third baseman to get on

base. Hannah Heck followed with a clutch single

to drive home both Wed- low and Caldwell for the Lady Mustangs’ two runs. The effort cut the deficit in half at 4-2.

Tupelo responded with a 4-run outburst in the bot-tom of the third to make it an 8-2 game. The Lady Tigers followed up with four more tallies in the bottom of the fourth to seal the 10-run victory at 12-2.

The offensive leaders for Al-l e n included Hannah Heck,

who broke up the no-hitter by Tupelo with her 2-run single in the third

inning. Megan Costner reached base on a walk.

Faith Caldwell a n d Chelsea Wedlow

accounted for one run each for the Lady Mustangs.

Sunzie Harrison pitched for Allen and was charged with the loss in the circle.

Looking ahead, the Allen schedule on the OSSAA Rankings site indicates Al-len’s next game will come on Septem-ber 10th at Asher.

Allen correspondentThe Allen Mustangs romp

into Week 2 with a 1-0 re-cord following a thrilling 38-36 victory over the host-ing Wetumka Chieftains last Friday evening.

Coach Steven Caldwell’s Mustangs will be looking to improve to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the district race.

The opponent will be the Macomb Hornets. The two league foes will lock horns at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Mustang Field.

Allen will be a heavy fa-vorite in the contest. The Macomb Hornets are the lowest-ranked team in the 10-team district. If the Mus-tangs come out and take care of business, the squad will build more momentum in the journey to a Top 4 fin-ish in the very competitive district.

Last week, Allen raced away to a commanding lead at Wetumka. The Mustangs were up 30-6 and en route to a blowout victory. However, standout Colton Browning incredible performance was cut short early in the third quarter when he went down with an ankle injury.

Meanwhile, Wetumka’s offensive hit strike and ral-lied from a 30-6 deficit to take a 36-30 lead with only 2:18 left in the game.

Coach Caldwell’s club was faced with a harsh re-ality. They would have to overcome the loss of their leading rusher and scorer and rally for a late touch-down and conversion to save the victory.

With a combination of determination and a touch of destiny, the Mustangs pulled off the magical come-

back. They faced a fourth down from the Wetumka 30-yard line and was down to one play. Colton Freder-ick launched a pass toward his intended target. How-ever, Wetumka’s defense swarmed to the ball and deflected it once ... and then deflected it again.

Tadyn Walker was a trail-ing receiver and came upon the pack. He was in the right place at the right time as he snared the highlight-reel double-deflection for a touchdown to even the score at 36-36.

Quarterback Colton Fred-erick followed with a quar-terback dive for a successful 2-point conversion. The effort put the delighted Mus-tangs in front 38-36.

Wetumka still had time for a Chieftain miracle. Howev-er, the offense went cold on pass attempts and the clock expired on the game. The clock was showing Allen on top 38-36 at the time.

“It was great for us to come out and put up 30 in the first half and then keep on battling after we lost Col-ton,” Coach Caldwell said. “Wetumka is a great team and it was a huge win for us. This was the most physical game I have ever been apart of. Both teams just beat the dog out of each other. It was a battle. This was a big step for us. We didn’t quit when we could have.”

Allen had opened the game with a quick score. Colton Browning scored on a long rushing play on second play of game. The Mustangs added the conversion run for an 8-0 lead.

Allen’s second offensive series was even more effec-tive. Ty Brown scored on first play of second posses-sion on 70-yard pass recep-

tion from Frederick. AHS added the conversion run to make it 16-0.

Wetumka answered with quarterback Nick Chastain’s 13-yard touchdown run to make it a 16-6 game.

Allen responded with a third scoring drive of the first quarter. QB Colton Frederick ran a keeper and scored on 17-yard run to lift the Mustangs to a 22-6 advantage.

In the second quarter Al-len pushed across another Colton Browning touch-down. This tally came from 42 yards out. The Mustangs also tallied the conversion run for a commanding 30-6 cushion.

It looked like the Chief-tains were headed to disas-ter. However, Coach Steve Crenshaw’s bunch hit stride. The Chieftains ignited an impressive 4-touchdown explosion to erase the deficit and slip into the lead.

Wetumka’s Nick Chastain raced 14 yards for another touchdown. The quarterback then fired a pass to Brayden Putman for the 2-point con-version to cut the lead to 30-14.

The Chieftains went to the break down by 16 points. However, they piled up a pair of unanswered touch-downs in the third quarter to get to within 30-28.

Nick Chastain provided his third rushing touchdown on a 12-yard scoring run to make it a 30-20 game.

Wetumka added another key score later in the third stanza. Joseph Freeman powered into the end zone on a 5-yard run. Chastain added the conversion run to cut the deficit to 30-28.

Chieftain fans were feeling the magic as the fourth quar-ter got underway. Their hope was rewarded with 2:18 left in the game. Jacob Gunter raced the final 5 yards for a touchdown with. Gunter also tackled on the conver-sion run to left the Wetumka squad to a 36-30 edge.

Allen didn’t have a lot of time to mount a comeback. However, the Mustangs moved down the field and overcame a couple of must-have fourth down situation. With 32 seconds left, AHS faced a final make or break

situation. The ball was on the Wetumka 30 and it was once again fourth down. That’s when Tadyn Walker came out of nowhere and caught the twice-tipped ball for 30-yard TD reception to even the score at 36-36. Col-ton Frederick followed with a successful scored 2-point conversion run to put the Mustangs on top 38-36.

Wetumka was 60 yards away when the Chieftains took possession with 27 second remaining. On this night, the magic was gone. The Chietains were un-able to mount an answering touchdown - and ended up on the short side of a 38-36 final score.

Allen ended the night with 425 yards of total offense. The Mustangs rushed for 268 yards on 37 carries. Frederickson added 157 yards passing on a 12-for-17 completion rate that also included a pair of intercep-tions.

Wetumka countered with 304 yards of total offense. The Chieftains rushed for 167 yards on 42 carries. QB Nick Chastain was credited with 137 yards passing on a 10-for-23 showing, with two interceptions.

Mustangs to host Macomb FridayAllen still excited about 38-36 thriller over Wetumka at Chieftain Stadium

Quarterback Colton Fred-erick was credited with all the passing, including 157 yards and two touchdowns. He also contributed 62 yards rushing on 15 attempts.

Prior to his injury, Colton Browning was on his way to a monster night. He piled up 188 yards rushing on just 15 carries. He also had one reception for seven yards.

In a related note, Wetum-ka assistant coach Johnny Loggins wanted the Allen fans to know that he and the Chieftain football players and coaches issued their hopes and best wishes to running back Colton Brown-ing. They are hoping for a quick and complete recovery from his injury on Friday evening at Wetumka.

“We are praying for their running back that run up all the yards on us (Browning),” he said. “He dislocated his ankle in the third quarter. I know him ... and I actually had him in elementary over at Homer in Ada years ago. He’s a good young man. I wish him all the best and for a full recovery. This is his last year in high school. I hope he gets back and gets to play this season.”

Individual Stats Allen vs Wetumka The first Sunday in September at Harmony Missionary

Baptist Church of Gerty began services with song and prayer.

Our devotional was “The Big Picture.” Genesis is right-fully thought of as the book of beginnings. It is also the record of God’s redemptive dealings with mankind. We see the fall of man into sin, and the gracious response from God to redeem His lost people. As you survey this book look for God’s continued grace toward fallen sinners, and notice how God constantly reveals Himself to humans giv-ing them hope and a future.

Adult lesson was “Genesis: Beginnings”. Youth lesson was “Jesus the greatest man who ever lived.”

We were blest to have Denise, Damon, Jessika, Donna Battershell and Jud and Esther in service. Denise sang “I’m Standing On the Solid Rock” with us. Esther played a melody of hymns on the piano for us, “What A Blessing!”

Brother David’s message was “God’s Promise to us” II Peter 3:1-9. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concern-ing His promise, as some men count slackness, but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

We enjoyed our monthly fellowship luncheon.We are praying for rain; have a blest week and may God

Bless You!

A. L. was the son of Aaron Jefferson Spaulding and Nancie Leatha (McWhorter) Spauld-ing, born on August 11, 1931,

in Norman, Oklahoma. He was brought up and attended schools throughout Cleveland County, in Norman, Pink, and east of Moore. He graduated 8th grade at Center Point and shortly thereafter, at the age of 14, left home and went to work following the Kansas wheat harvest. After several years in Kansas, he returned to Oklahoma and worked hauling hay.

When he was 19, A. L. joined the U.S. Navy and served four years during the Korean War, more than three years of duty served overseas or at sea. In the middle of it all, he married Nancy Jane Knowles on January 15, 1952, in Norman. Following military service, he attended Oklahoma City University for two years, and received a diploma for auto-mobile body/fender school. He worked in various service stations in the Oklahoma City area and purchased several of his own, at one time owning and operating three stations in the Tinker Air Force Base area of Midwest City. He worked as service manager for Goodyear in Oklahoma City. He opened A. L. Spaulding Auto Salvage and, during the ten years he ran that business, also helped to start the Oklahoma Auto Salvage Dealer Association.

A. L. and Nancy moved to Calvin in 1981, where A. L. went to work at a service station. He surrendered to the call to min-istry, and they moved to Atoka to pastor the First Pentecostal Holiness Church of Atoka. A. L. was 63 years old when he began pastoring, and enjoyed seven years before failing health forced him to resign his church. They returned to Calvin, and A. L. took up wood-working. He was happiest when he was working, and enjoyed

his hobby, particularly building knick-knack shelves.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Aaron and Nancie Spaulding; three sisters, Neva Jo Knowles, Virginia McGhee, and Juanita Chambers.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Nancy, of the home; two sons, Leonard Alan Spaulding of Tecumseh, and Tommy Dean Spaulding of Car-lyle, Illinois; five grandchildren, Lynette Lister (J. R.) of Tecumseh, Duane Alan Spaulding (Shelly) of Houston, Texas, Tristin Spauld-ing, Austin Spaulding, and Ethan Spaulding, all of Carlyle, Illinois; one step granddaughter, Autumn Walker of Carlyle, Illinois; six great grandchildren, James Rich-ard Lister IV, Alan Lewis, Kyla Lister, Carter Spaulding, Bailey Spaulding, Shayla Caskey; three brothers, Pat Spaulding (Rachel) of Norman, Monroe Ben Spauld-ing (Susie) of Oklahoma City, and Donald Ray Spaulding of Bethel Springs, Texas; numerous nieces and nephews, other relatives, and many friends.

Funeral services were held on Wednesday, September 9th, 10:00 a.m. at Friendship Pentecos-tal Church in Oklahoma City, and A. L. was laid to rest in Schwartz Cemetery. Rev. Lewis Hawkins and Rev. Bob Merrill were the officiating ministers. Pallbearers were J. R. Lister, Alan Lister, Courtney Stevenson, Garrett Mantooth, Robert Attkisson, and Roy Biddle.
