For longtime Allen High School head coach Kenny Deaton, one of the favorite rivalries is the football games between his Mustangs and the Wetumka Chieftains. “It’s been that way for a long time,” Coach Deaton said. “We like to play them and they like to play us. The fans in both of our communi- ties really enjoy seeing our teams play football.” The AHS coach said both programs have had their up’s and down’s over the years. The games remained a major attraction no matter which squad was up or down. “It seemed like we were both doing well at about the same time,” he said. “That goes back to our 11-man days. We’ve also played when neither of us was doing that great. The fans from both places are always supportive and that makes it special. I was talking to (Wetumka athletic director) Brent Mc- Gee the other day and we agree there always seems to be a good gate (ticket sales) when we play.” On Friday, the rivalry will be rekindled at the Mustang Stadium.

They have a quarterback that is a very athletic player. He makes their offense pretty potent. He is a kid who can scramble and make plays.

Allen, Oklahoma native David Carlos Harrington beat prostate cancer using an advanced radiation treatment called proton therapy.

Knowing his father had prostate cancer, Harrington made a point to get screening tests twice a year for the last 25 years. It wasn’t until after an irregular Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test score and the discovery of a nodule on the side of his prostate that he was diagnosed with cancer for the second time in his life.

“I knew getting prostate cancer was a possibility for me with my family history, so I had already spent some time getting educated,” Harrington said. “After doing my all my research though, I still didn’t see options I was comfortable with.”

Harr ington had gone through traditional radiation treatment before when a tumor on his taste bud spread to his lymph nodes. He underwent x-ray radiation and surgery to remove the cancerous lymph nodes. The surgery left him with a feeding tube for a year, during which time he lost 60 pounds and vowed to never do radiation treatment again.

The Allen Lady Mustangs suffered a 10-0 loss to the

Asher Lady Indians in re-cent softball action.

Coach Stephen Caldwell’s AHS girls were limited to

only three hits in the four-inning run-rule loss.

Asher erupted for five runs in the bottom of the first inning. The Lady In-dians added a run in the second inning, a run in the third inning, and closed out the victory with a three-run outburst in the fourth in-ning.

The Lady Indians had plenty of base runners against Allen. They banged out 10 hits and added other runners due to seven errors by the Lady Mustangs.

Besides the three base hits by Allen, their only other base runner reached on the team’s only walk of the game.

Allen played again on Tuesday night against the Stratford Lady Bulldogs. The report for the game was not available at press time, but will be printed in next week’s edition of the Allen Advocate.

Coach Stephen Caldwell will now lead the Lady Mustangs into action late this week at the New Lima softball tournament. The event begins on Thursday afternoon.

Looking ahead, Allen will host the Wynnewood Lady

Some of us “old timers” remember when school days were from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with an hour for lunch. Now the days be-gin earlier, lunch is much shorter, and school ends earlier.

However, it appears that once again the “old tim-ers” had it right.

High schools and middle schools should begin the day no earlier than 8:30 a.m. to help teenagers get more sleep, the American Academy of Pediatrics said in its first policy statement on the issue.

Research indicates that later school start times re-sult in improved physical and mental health and, in some cases, better student performance, according to the guidelines. One recent study found a 70% drop in car crashes involving teen drivers after an 80-minute delay in the start time at one high school.

“Delaying school start times has a whole host of benefits that are well docu-mented at this point,” said Judith Owens, lead author of the guidelines and direc-tor of sleep medicine at Children’s National Medi-cal Center in Washington, D.C.

Biological changes asso-ciated with puberty result in a shift in circadian rhythms, causing adolescents to get tired later at night, sleep experts say. Exacerbating that physiological reality is teens’ tendency to study late and to use electronics close to bedtime, when blue-light exposure can further delay sleep.

“Circadian rhythms dic-tate that most teenagers can’t fall asleep much be-

fore 11 p.m.,” Dr. Owens said. “And if they need 8½ to 9½ hours of sleep – do the math. They are best suited to wake up around 8 am.”

Yet the average start time for public high schools is 87:59 a.m., according to 2011-12 U.S. Department of Education statistics, the most recent available. An estimated 42.5% of public high schools start the day before 8 a.m., while only about 15% start at 8:30 a.m. or later.

Advocates hope the guidelines will provide mo-mentum for organizations across the country working to delay school start times. The issue is often conten-tious because of concerns about transportation costs due to changing bus sched-ules, and the effect on time and space for extracurricu-lar activities, particularly athletics.

Dr. Owens said an unof-ficial count found about 70 districts with a total of about 1,000 schools have made the move to a later school day.

The Fair fax County School Board in Virginia, near Washington, is slated to vote in October on de-laying its 7:20 a.m. start time. The school district, one of the country’s largest, hired Children’s National Medical Center to consult on options for delaying the start of the high school day to 8 a.m. or later.

Experts point to research findings that delays in start times of as little as 25 min-utes can lead to measurable changes. Some studies have found improvements in hours slept, academic performance and mood, and

decreases in driving acci-dents and risky behaviors.

In a March study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, re-searchers at the University of Minnesota found a 65%-to-70% decrease in vehicle crashes among 16 to 18 year olds in two high schools, in Wyoming and Minnesota, excluding crashes caused by unrelated factors, such as intoxication.

The study looked at more than 9,000 high school students in five districts in Wyoming, Minnesota and Colorado that had delayed school start times to the 8 a.m. to 8:44 a.m. window. The researchers compared attendance records, aca-demic performances, men-tal health and car-crash rates before and after the changes to start times.

“The later the start time, the more that we had posi-tive outcomes in all mea-sures,” said Kyla Wahl-strom, the lead researcher.

Ameen Al-Dalli, 16 years old, who will begin his ju-nior year at Langley High school in Fairfax County in September, said he has fallen asleep in class.

The honors student said he has to be at the bus stop at 6:20 to get to school for the 7:20 start time. He says just getting up requires two alarm clocks.

Ameen said he aims for a bedtime of 11:30 p.m. but if he has a big test he might not go to bed until 12:30 or 1 a.m. “Thankfully I can keep my grades up but it’s really difficult,” he said.

— Sumpthi ReddyWall Street Journal

—CC— It is bad enough for the “city kids” to get up so early

but with Daylight Saving Time, many of those that ride a bus are up before dawn and waiting in the dark for the bus.

Doing away with Daylight Saving Time and early class times might make everyone feel better.

—CC— Speaking of school, recess was my second favorite time

of the day . . . lunch was first. I always wondered why we couldn’t have recess at

work. It turns out you can . . . if you are in Congress . . .

‘Twas the month of summer recess (with apologies)(Apologies to Clement Clarke Moore)

‘Twas the month of summer recess when all through DC

Not a creature was stirring, not even Pelosi.Congress was gone with nary a care,

They had money to raise and constituents to scare.

The Dems were back home in their own feather beds,While visions of new regulations danced in their

heads.And Mamma in her skirt and I in my cap,

We’re getting really tired of this Washington crap.

When up on the roof there arose such a clatter,I muted Fox news to see what was the matter.

I ran to the door and picked up my Glock,I peered through the peephole and pulled back the

cock.

The moon was high in the brilliant night sky,Which makes for an easy shot if things go awry.

When what do my wandering eyes see in the night,But Air Force One soaring gracefully in flight.

Carrying our skinny president so wily and slick,I knew in a moment it must be that . . . uh, person.More liberal than Alinsky his advisers they came,

And he begged and whined and called them by name.

Now Clinton! Now Holder!Now Jarrett and Plouffe!

Forget about Biden,His brain is too rough.

The first lady and IWant to go have a ball.So take all my scandalsMake them go away all.

The world is on fire; Russia’s like a zoo,Golf is now called for; several rounds will do.On to Martha’s Vineyard, the first couple flewWith a plane full of donors and both kids, too.

Many on the right scream “Why is he leaving?!”That’s not so bad when Barrack’s not achieving.

His radical goals that run so eschew,From what America was originally put here to do.

Although it’s nice when pols leave D.C. town,No damage can be done by the idiot clowns.

However, the lobbyists remain with their bags of gold,Bribing all of the staffers like the days of old.

As for Congress being gone, who gives a rat’s butt?All they do is spend money, leaving us deep in al rut.They pass crazy laws like they’re all smoking crack,So stay away longer; in fact, don’t ever come back.

Voters thought Barack was fly as he won in ’08,The world would love us again because he’s so great.He could give a nice speech with a little prompter aid,

But upon the world stage he acts so afraid.The Middle East, Benghazi and now the Ukraine,

Barack thought being prez was cool, but it’s more of a pain

There are too many spots that are way too hot,He ordered the captain “Land in Colorado; I need

some pot.”

Suddenly Barack sprang to the window to view our great land.

He said he can make it better as he waved his hand.Patiently waiting for this teleprompter to boot,

“Don’t worry America; I’ll be back for more loot!”— Mark Levy

For me, this is going to be a very busy week. On Saturday, in Healdton, I will do a book signing for a book of mine that has just been published.Bill Robinson, Editor of

the Allen, Coalgate, We-tumka and Holdenville pa-pers, kept asking me to get him material from my columns so that he could publish a book. When I began to go through the material to try and pull out enough for a book, I was overwhelmed. I have been writing my column since 1992 and you can imagine how much material I have from that many years.While going through all of

that material, I got together the material for the book he did publish, The Spiritual Stepping Stones of Cleo LeVally and he will have to wait awhile for the material to go through for right now, but I am working on it.I have other books that

I have written. One is on my Seminole Patchwork Design. It was published in 1992 and has sold over 3,400 copies, and is still selling. It is listed on Ama-zon.com (used books) at

$99.50. I have had orders from six foreign countries. The reason it has been so popular is it is the only book on the market that lists the designs by their Indian name. I am still selling it

for $13.95, plus tax and postage, if it needs to be shipped.Another one of my books

is on the 1930’s depres-sion and the Dust Bowl. It includes stories of my

daughter’s visit to Poland and the Holocaust, my trips to Vienna and Hawaii, and other stories of living in early years in Oklahoma.Every person has a story

to be told. It is important to family members and should be written down. Think about it and do it.

Services for Ervin Les-ter “Frog” Holcomb, 63, of Allen, are 11:00 a.m. Thursday, September 4th, at the Criswell Funeral Home Chapel, Rev. Aaron Finney will officiate.

Mr. Holcomb died Sat-urday, August 30, 2014 at an Ada hospital. He was born December 1, 1950 at Elkin, North Carolina to Robert “Burr” and Glenda Mae Luffman Holcomb. He graduated from high school in Starmount, North Carolina and also received an Associate’s Degree in Horticulture from Wilkes

Community College. He married Virginia Bai-

ley 26 years ago. Mr. Hol-comb was a welder and pipefitter for many years and a landscaper. He served in the U.S. Army in Korea from May 26, 1970 until being honorably discharged on January 13, 1972. He was of the Baptist faith.

Survivors include his wife, Virginia Holcomb, of the home; his mother, Glenda Holcomb of El-kin, North Carolina; four sons, Eric Holcomb, Toby Holcomb and wife Leslie, John Stovall and fiancée Shar and Steven Stovall and wife Shelly; a daughter-in-law, Shonda Holcomb; one brother, Norlan Holcomb;

15 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren; and a dear friend, Christy Stovall.

He was preceded in death by his father; daughter, Karen Jones; son, Ran-dy Stovall; grandson, J.J. Stovall; and a brother, Jerry Wayne Holcomb.

Arrangements were under the direction of Criswell Funeral Home, Ada.

Services for Houston “Sonny” Stick, Jr., 68, of Ada, were 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, September 3rd, at the Chickasaw Commu-nity Center, Rev. Don Jacob officiated. Burial followed at Killcrease Cemetery.

Mr. Stick died Friday, August 29, 2014 at an Okla-homa City hospital. He was born March 8, 1946 in Fran-cis, Oklahoma to Houston Stick, Sr. and Martha Pun-luste Stick. He graduated

Rites held for Sonny Stick

In honor of Labor Day the children studied about the importance of working hard and doing their best. We have been doing lessons on honesty so this fit in. In Co-lossians 3:23 it says “What-ever you do work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” They are never too young to learn this scripture.

Our quartet sang “The Lighthouse” for their spe-cial.

Bro. Larry’s sermon was entitled “The Impor-tance of Integrity”, and was taken from Isaiah 66:2b-6. God hates a phony. He has harsh criticism for those

who claim to be what they are not. They bring dis-honor upon the redeemed. He will judge them harshly. In today’s society we have lost sight of the serious-ness of sin. God has never changed his mind regard-ing the seriousness of sin. No amount of sacrifice or lip service will delay the judgment of God. God sees them for what they are. It is critical that each of us judge ourselves in the light of God’s Word.

It is possible to win God’s favor. Be humble, be con-trite, and honor God’s Word. Don’t make excuses for sin-ful behavior. Confess it and

turn from it. We know what we have been and we are determined to be better. We need to honor God’s Word. Through His Word we dis-cover our sinfulness and his grace. We do not have to guess about what God expects from us. Through His Word we gain direc-tion for life. He has clearly shown us the way. It is our responsibility to walk in that way.

Sunday morning we will have breakfast at 9:15. We invite you to join us.

I knew it would be a long day as I sat there watching it slip away—there in the large Module E waiting room. I was there for a 9:00 AM ap-pointment but here it was already past 10. People arriving half an hour after me had been called and already half way home. I had answered the first call for dilating my eyes but that had been back at 8:50. The usual “waiting room clown” had already come and gone. You know, the guy that arrives, surveys the crowd, and announc-es what he is there for. He tells us a joke before

launching into his topic—usually war stories. I had quickly looked him over and when I saw he wasn’t armed I went back pre-tending I was watching the TV. An hour later they called me in.

The nice lady doctor soon had finished with me and, after a bit of pa-per shuffling, Pat and I headed for the exit. I am especially hard up to see with my eyes dilated so I was counting on my “driver” to take care of me for a little while. That was

when she said, “I don’t know where my car keys are.” That’s really a dread thing to hear these days now that keys that can lock your car, open your trunk and even start your engine from afar cost an arm and a leg to replace. “Uh oh, I think I lost them in the restroom!” A hur-ried trip to the ladies room revealed no keys. A trip to lost and found solved the problem in a hurry. They had the keys and, again, we went on our way to-ward the exit.

When we stepped close to the outside I stopped to fetch those little cheap goggles the doctor gave me. “Wear these,” she had warned. “The sunlight will damage your eyes.” I couldn’t find my goggles as Pat was carrying them for safekeeping—the same Pat that had lost the car keys. Losing our keys must have rattled her for when I looked up to see where she was, she was gone. Not a sign of her. And I was nearly blind. I thought I saw her across the street and I started out in a vain search for her. Boy, were my eyes killing me. She had walked on. I finally made it to a shade and just stood there—with my eyes shut. Boy, were my eyes hurting! Pat had walked on with a black guy that she thought was me but eventually real-ized her mistake when he wouldn’t get in the car with her.

After what seemed like more than a little while, with me wandering around like a blind and autistic child, we connected and she led me back to the car. It was real interesting. I had to be in Edmond at 1PM to look over and sign some documents. Yes, that was a good thing for a blind man to be doing but

luckily I regained some of my vision after my “Saul on the road to Da-mascus experience” and made it OK. I even had enough vision to eventual-ly find Emilee that bright noon-hour and take her to Charleston’s and buy her some lunch. She’s going to UCO up there and I hadn’t seen my precious granddaughter since—the day before.

I hope none of my read-ers ever have the experi-ence of being abandoned by their “driver” when they have their eyes dilat-ed. A driver who lost her keys in the toilet. Well—on a shelf anyway.

Whatever you do, be sure and go to church next Sunday. Who knows? It may improve your other kind of vision.

One friend constantly says the phrase – “O my God!” In fact, she may say it several times in a row when shocked by something or when scared. When con-fronted with the fact that she was using God’s name in an irreverent manner, she said that she didn’t even realize that she was say-ing it. It flowed from her tongue without ever think-ing about the awesomeness of the God to whom she was referring.

The third of the Ten Com-mandments says, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.” (Exodus 20:7) The word “vain” refers to something that is empty, useless or of little value. God’s name must not be used in a way that degrades it or demonstrates a lack of reverence toward God. How many girls have been named “Jezebel” or baby boys named, “Judas?” Parents do not choose those names because they have

been degraded and spoiled by individuals who have worn them. We demon-strate a lack of reverence for God if we use His name in a way that degrades or spoils it.

There is a legend about a young soldier being brought before Alexander, the great for punishment for wrong-doing. Alexander asked him what his name was and he replied, “Alexander.” The commander than told him, “You will have to ei-ther change your name or our actions.” Likewise, Jehovah God does not want us to spoil and ruin His name by our actions or our words.

Jesus said, “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” (Luke 6:46) If we do not obey Jesus, but profess that He is our Lord, our master and ruler of our life, we are treating Him irreverently. We show contempt and disrespect for His name. May God help us to show reverence to God in all our actions, thoughts and words. At the Allen church of Christ, this Sunday we will study the third of the Ten Commandments.

—O&A— Altha Edens and Peggy

Green vacationed in Colo-rado from August 17th to 25th. They enjoyed six dif-ferent train rides on their tour of the Rocky Moun-tains.

Traveling from Denver to the little town of Ouray, they stayed at different towns along the way. The trains were all the old mining and freight trans that were built after the Civil War. They particularly liked the “Cinder & Smoke” trains powered by steam from the coal – the “chug-chug” and the whistle blowing were a lot of fun.

They want to give a big shout-out to their tour bus driver, Ruben Aleman. He always got them to the train stations and eating stops and motels on time. And he didn’t scare them too bad on the twisting, narrow roads. What a glorious country America is!

think it’s about time we won another one against Wetumka.”

In their most recent ac-tion, the Mustangs hosted what Coach Deaton called the championship scrim-mage. He gave it the lofty name because of the high-caliber teams who came to town to participate. Class B’s No. 3 Davenport, No. 4 Dewar, No. 6 Alex and

No. 7 Allen were on hand to knock pads in the scrim-mage. Haileyville and Ca-nadian also played in the event.

“It was another produc-tive scrimmage for us,” the coach said. “We knew we would see some very good competition with teams like Dewar and Davenport. We still do OK, but our de-

fense had some alignment problems – guys not lin-ing up correctly. When we had those problems that’s when they (opponents) hit big plays against us. Good teams will see your mis-takes and take advantage of the situation. But the good news is that this was a scrimmage and we use them to learn and improve. It did not cost us anything to see where we need to get better. We’ll take it from the scrimmage and try to get it corrected.”

Allen’s offensive unit was a little more productive.

“We were pretty bal-anced,” he said. “We ran the ball and threw it, but we were very vanilla and didn’t really show anything (real game play selection). We threw for two touch-downs and ran for three more touchdowns. The only disappointing thing was that we had four turn-overs on fumbles. We had one quarterback exchange for a fumble and had three other fumbles in (defensive) traffic. We don’t usually fumble the ball and we’ll work to be sure we get bet-ter on that. As I said, the scrimmage is where you learn what you need to do. We had a very teachable moment. Now, we need to go get ready for our first game with Wetumka.

From the injury report, Jeffrey Deaton was cleared by doctors to resume full contact work with the Mus-tangs. He worked some at defensive end and tight end in last week’s scrimmage. Running back Dalton James is on the mend and expected to be available for game ac-tion very soon.

“It’s a day to day thing with Dalton,” Coach Deaton said. “He didn’t say he couldn’t play – but we want to be sure he is fully healthy before getting him back out there. He might be ready for the Wetumka game, but it is too soon to tell.”

Coach Deaton will take all his healthy players and suit up for the big show-down with Wetumka. He is hoping for a change in the

outcome between these two friendly rivals.

“I’m hoping we can final-ly win one against them,” he said. “This might be the year.”

Having More Retirement Accounts is Not the Same as Having More Money.When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees.

Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals.

*Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

To learn why consolidating your retirement accounts to Edward Jones makes sense, call your local financial advisor today.

We missed out on the rain that we were practically guar-anteed last week so I guess we’ll have to keep on watering lawns and flowers from the water hose. It seems that we can run up the water bill and still not do much more than keep the plants alive, but when God waters the land with a nice rain the plants thrive.

I’ve read that rain puts nitrogen into the soil whether it lightning or not. Scientific explanations of the system God designed are well and good, but they still don’t take away the wonder and faith in our Creator.

Next week, September 7th, is Biscuit & Gravy Sunday again. The serving line begins at 9:00 Sunday morning so get the month of September off to a good start with a good breakfast.

This Sunday we enjoyed having David and Linda Cran-field and their daughter sing “This is what Heaven Means to Me” as the special music selection. David commented that recent events in the news make heaven sound better all the time, and that certainly strikes a chord with us all. However, even if it were all peace and good will in the news we would have thor-oughly enjoyed that song.

Rev. Karch’s message was taken from the 9th chapter of

Matthew and was titled “Do You Need a Physician?”

We all need a spiritual physi-cian. Everyone has a void that can only be filled by trusting in Jesus to bring the Holy Spirit into our lives. Too often we try to fill that void with things that usually cause us to wake up the next morning with more problems than we had the day before.

Jesus knew that life is tough and that people get off on the wrong track for all kinds of reasons. He reached out to the people who needed His help and who knew they needed His help. People who thought they were perfect, didn’t un-derstand that they needed Jesus, too.

The faith that leads to spiri-tual healing is realizing we need the kind of help that only Jesus can provide. As a rule of thumb, when we think we’re so perfect that we should point out the sins of others, we’re probably in great need of spiri-tual healing ourselves. age was taken from the 9th chapter of Matthew and was titled “Do You Need a Physician?”
