The Allen Mustangs rolled into McLoud on Saturday,March 14th, with one goal in mind . . . winning the Class B State Championship.

“I knew we had a great shot at winning. We had numbers, if we just hit our lifts,” Coach Sullivan said. Of the 80 C-2A schoolsthatqualified,theMus-

tangs qualified the second highest number of lifters (10) behind 2A Colcord (13).

The Mustangs racked up 124 team points, helping them place 4th overall and cruising to a Class B State Champion-ship, having been the highest finishingClassB team in themeet. The next highest Class B team,Merritt, finished 21st overall with 40 points.

“I was proud of our guys for wining, but more proud of how they did it by hitting new maxes and pushing their comfort zone,” said Sullivan.

Colcord was overall and 2A State Champions with 147 points. Healdton placed 3rd overall with 127 points and were Class A State Champions, while Grandfield placed 25th overall with 34 points to win firstinClassC.

The rest rooms at the Allen Park have been padlocked due to vandalism, trash left littering the area and evidence of smoking in the building have been found. The actions of a few have forced the Town to enforce these actions.

If you have plans at the park, contact City Hall and the buildings will be open for your event.Townofficialsareworkingonasolutiontothesituation

at the park. Police patrolling will be stepped up and curfew laws will be enforced. Possible other actions could be sur-veillance cameras at the site to catch the people responsible for the vandalism and charges will be sought. We have been working on upgrading the park with some new playground equipment so we are hoping our money can go towards improvement instead of stopping criminal activities.

~~ Notice ~~

The Allen baseball team got the chance to play at the Bricktown Ball Park on Saturday against Central Marlow. Colton Frederick picked up the win on the mound for the Mustangs.

EveryonelovescommentsandIamsureLeaSchroederisnoexception.LeaisadriverfortheVacaville,Californiapublic bus company. Here is the letter one of her passengers sent . . .

Dear Sir,Iwould like tocommenddriverLeaSchroeder for the

following reasons: 1. She frequently doesn’t stop for me when I’m waiting

at the bus stop, but she always waves as she goes by. 2. If she’s running behind, she tells me, “Sit your butt

down”, in a courteous way.

3. She nearly comes to a complete stop now when I disembark, so I haven’t fallen in almost a week.

4. Although she usually gives me wrong instructions on which bus to take, I enjoy riding all around Vacaville on the different routes.

5. The way she suddenly starts and stops, rides the rear bumper of the car ahead, and pulls several Gs of force when she turns corners un-failingly elevates my heart rate. This has obvious health benefits.

Once again, I would like to commendLeaSchroederfor

her outstanding work.Sincerely yours,

Dave Barr is one of my favorite columnists. He has a new book out and here is one of my favorite parts of it . . .

My parents and their friends probably would have lived longer if their lifestyle choices had been healthier.

So I am conceding that by the standards of today, my parents’ behavior would be considered irresponsible. Actually, “irresponsible” is not a strong enough word. By the standards of today, my parents and their friends were crazy. A great many ac-tivities they considered to be perfectly OK—hitchhiking; or driving without seat belts; or letting a child go trick-or-treating without a watchful parent hovering within 8 feet, ready to pounce if the child is given a potentially lethal item such as an apple; or engaging in any form of recreation more strenu-ous than belching without wearing a helmet—are now considered to be insanely dangerous. By the standards of today, the main purpose of human life is to eliminate all risk so that human life will last as long as humanly pos-sible, no matter how tedious it gets.

And the list of things we’re not supposed to do anymore gets longer all the time. I re-cently encountered an article headlined:ISYOURHANDSHAKE

AS DANGEROUS ASSMOKING?

The answer, in case you are a complete idiot, is: Of course your handshake is as dangerous as smoking. The article explains that handshakes transmit germs, which cause diseases such asMERS.MERSstandsfor“Middle East RespiratorySyndrome,” a fatal disease that may have originated in camels. This is yet another argument, as if we needed one, against shaking hands with camels. But the article suggests that we should con-

sider not shaking hands with anybody.

If you could travel back in time to one of my parents’ parties and interrupt the sing-ing to announce to the guests that shaking hands could transmit germs and therefore they should stop doing it, they would laugh so hard they’d drop their cigarettes into their drinks. They were just not as into worrying as we are today.

And it wasn’t just cig-arettes and alcohol they didn’t worry about. They also didn’t worry that there might be harmful chemicals in the water that they drank right from the tap. They didn’t worry that if they threw their trash into the wrong receptacle, they were killing baby polar bears and hastening the extinction of the human race. They didn’t worry about consuming trans fats, gluten, fructose, and all the other food components now considered so danger-ous they could be used to rob a bank (“Give him the money! He’s got gluten!”).

Above all, they did not worry about providing a per-fect, risk-free environment for their children. They loved us, sure. But they didn’t feel obligated to spend every waking minute running in-terference between us and the world. They were par-ents, but they were not en-gaged 24/7 in what we now call “parenting,” this all-consuming job we have cre-ated, featuring many crucial child-rearing requirements that my parents’ generation was blissfully unaware of.

They didn’t go to prenatal classes, so they didn’t findout all the things that can go wrong when a person has a baby, so they didn’t spend months worrying about those things. They just had their babies, and usually it worked out, the way it has for mil-lions of years. They didn’t have car seats, so they didn’t worry that the car seat they just paid $249 for might lack some feature that the car seat their friends just paid $312 for does have. They didn’t read 37 parenting handbooks

written by experts, each listing hundreds, if not thou-sands, of things they should worry about.

It would never have oc-curred to members of my parents’ generation to try to teach a 2-year-old to read; theyfigured thatwaswhatschool was for. And they didn’t obsess for years over which school their kids should attend, because pretty much everybody’s kids went to the local schools, which pretty much everybody con-sidered to be good enough. They didn’t worry that their children would get bored, so they didn’t schedule endless after-school activities and drive their kids to the activi-ties and stand around with other parents watching their kids engage in the activi-ties. Instead they sent their kids out to play. They didn’t worry about how or where they played as long as they got home for dinner, which was very likely to involve gluten.

I’m not saying my parents’ generation didn’t give a crap. I’m saying they gave a crap mainly about big things, like providing food and shelter, and avoiding nuclear war. They’d made it through some rough times, and now, heading into middle age, building careers and rais-ing families, they figured they had it pretty good. Not

perfect, but pretty good. So at the end of the workweek, they allowed themselves to cut loose—to celebrate their lives, their friendships, their success. They sent the kids off to bed, and they par-tied. They drank, laughed, danced, sang, maybe stole a piece of an IBM sign. They had fun, grown-up fun, and they didn’t feel guilty about it.

Whereas we modern par-ents, living in the era of Death by Handshake, rarely pause to celebrate the way our parents did because we’re too busy parenting. We never stop parenting. We are all over our kids’ lives—making sure they get whatever they want, remov-ing obstacles from their path, solving their problems and—above all—worrying about what else will go wrong, so wecanfixitforthem.We’rein permanent trick-or-treat mode, always hovering 8 feet away from our children, always ready to pounce on the apple.

Yes, we’ve gotten really, really good at parenting. This is fortunate, because for some inexplicable reason a lot of our kids seem to have trouble getting a foothold in adult life, which is why so many of them are still living with us at age 37.

They’re lucky they have us around.

This week I celebrated my birthday and one of my friends shared the following . . .

Two Oldtimers On A Park Bench

Fred: I can tell you exactly how old you are right down to the month and year.

Jack: Get outta here. Fred: I’ll bet you five

bucks. Jack: Okay. Fred: Stand on one leg,

raise both arms, open our mouth wide, and cackle like a chicken.

Jack: What? Fred: Do it. I can tell from

that. Jack: I feel stupid, but I

will do it. Fred: You were 63 on

March 14th. Jack: That’s right! That’s

amazing! How could you tell I was 63 on March 14th?

Fred: You told me yester-day.

—CC— And finally, my favorite

quote of the week . . . “You know you’re getting

old when it’s not the food itself you talk about, but whether you’re supposed to take your pills with it.”

Do you know what hap-pens to water at 211 degrees Fahrenheit?Well,notmuchreally. Although it gets hot and it may develop some little pinpoint bubbles, for the most part, it is just there in the pot. But add just one

degree, and that same water begins to boil. The steam generated by heat makes the difference. One-thousandths of a point is a difference half as great as the difference be-tween hot water and steam.

In life, often the margin is just as slender between success and failure, winning and losing, mediocrity and excellence.

Peter Vidmar, the great American gymnast, missed winning a silver medal by 25/1000th of a point in the 1984 Olympics. In the 1988 Olympics, American swim-mer, Matt Blondi, lost the 100meterButterflyeventby1/1000th of a second.

The loser in a 50 mile bi-

cycle race I read about was exactly one inch behind the winner.

What does this tell us about our own lives? Simply that it is the last little bit of effort that will always make the difference between success and failure. The losers in this world never seems to realize how close they are to win-ning just before they give up, and the winners never forget that an extra effort at the end is often the slender margin

of victory. When you are tempted to

give up, to settle for less than your best effort, turn on that extra burst of energy; that extradegreeoffirethatgivesyou the satisfaction of know-ing, win or lose, that you have done your very best.

Time to guard your pets against fleas and ticks

Tim Costner, D.V.M

As a Baptist I never knew all that much about St Pat-rick and the date, March 17th. I knew over at Stone-wall the girls liked to pinch the boys on that date if you forgot to wear any green. It was the only time they ever did that and though I had mixed emotions about

getting pinched, I welcomed most any contact from girls. It was March 17, 1958 that I started wondering and cele-brating Saint Patrick’s Day. Why? Well that was the day the Navy discharged me and I was very happy about

that. Also, I was in New York City when that hap-pened and as I said before, St. Patrick’s Day hadn’t been much of a big deal up to then--not in Stonewall it wasn’t.

I walked out of the main gate at Brooklyn that sunny afternoon and drove out onto the Brooklyn Bridge heading west and heading home. I thought. It was “only” St. Patrick’s Day but this time it was in New York City and I soon found that it was no ordinary day in NYC. It took me about 3 hours to follow detours and creep across the small Man-hattan Island to the Holland Tunnel. I wondered about this thing--this holiday.

Saint Patrick died in 401 AD. He was named a Saint and later a “Patron Saint of Ireland.” His life has been celebrated pretty much ever since and it is a religious holiday pretty much all over the world. It’s a legal holiday in many countries and a religious one here in America. It is often thought of as a feast holiday by the Catholics. But what, you may wonder, are they celebrating? Well, it may surprise you.

Patrick was English Chris-tian when at age 16 he was kidnapped by Irish heathen raiders who carried him back to Ireland and en-slaved him as a shepherd. Patrick yearned to be free and become very religious praying for help from God. God sent Patrick a vision in which he was told to leave his work, walk to the coast where he would see a ship. Someone would be waiting on him and help him board this ship which would then return him home where you might think he would live happily ever after.

Well, not so fast. Patrick became a Catholic Priest in England and his wish was to return to Ireland as a missionary and convert the “Godless” pagans there and

thus end the hated slavery in that country and lead that nation to God. He did a good job and it isn’t my place or a part of my limited knowledge of the subject to go into the how and why of all this but I think it’s safe to say Patrick did indeed make a big impact on Ireland--which even ex-plained a little bit of why I got pinched by the girls as a boy and encountered so muchtrafficcongestiononeday in New York City.

Patrick’s history indicates that green was special to the Irish. Patrick himself was said to hold up a shamrock at times as he preached to bring attention to the Holy Christian Trinity. Three is a special and holy number in Ireland. Although the Saint died in 401 AD, it was not

until the 9th century that it is noted as a holiday and was celebrated. The date he died, March 17, sets the date except since it is a religious holiday the day may be changed to avoid coinciding with other holi-days such as it did back in 1940. March 17, 1940 was “Palm Sunday” and Saint Patrick’s Day was moved to April 3rd.

I hope this hasn’t just added to the confusion of this date but just let it be said, around this house March 17 is noted as “The Day Wayne Got Out Of The Navy.” Have a good weekend and try to enjoy the spring days. And go to Church this Sunday.

QUESTION: If we do things in the worship of God which He has not commanded or given us an inspired example, how can we know God ap-proves? Can we know? Is it necessary that we have authority from God for what we do in worship or can we do whatever? Of course, if God has said not to do something, it would be sinful to do it, but what about things we might like and enjoy that God has not commanded? Would God be offended if we do things for which He has not given approval?

Perhaps we should ask the two sons of Aaron, Na-dab and Abihu. According toLeviticus 10:1-3, they“offered profane fire before

the Lord, which He had not commanded them.” We mightthink,“Fireisfire,”so what difference can it make? It made a differ-ence to God because “fire went out from the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.” In offeringthefirethatGodhad not commanded, they failed to treat God as holy and to glorify Him. They came before God doing something that God had not authorized.

As we should expect, their father, Aaron was up-set and Moses explained, “This is what the Lord spoke, saying: ‘By those who come near Me I must be regarded as holy; and before all the people I must be glorified.’ So Aaron held his peace.” If we would glorify God in wor-ship, don’t we have to do what He approves? How can we claim to have faith in God if we do in worship what pleases us rather than just doing that which He has approved in His word? If we love God, we will keep His commandments. (John 14:15) We are saved by faith in God, but do we really have faith in Him if we go beyond His word (1 Corinthians 4:6), add to or takefromhisword?(Rev-elation 22:18-19) Surely, the only way we can know that we are pleasing God is by doing only the things He has given us authority to do!

Just about everyone can celebrate this week! The Irish celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th, and then Spring arrives on the 20th. It has been a comparatively mild winter here in Okla-homa, but I’m sure people in the East have had more than enough snowstorms for the year. They’ll be dancing in

thestreetsonFridayiftheycan shovel their way out through the snow that far!

Tom Spillman sang “He Turned the Water into Wine” as the special music selec-tion. His message that Jesus changes us is as old as Bible times and as new as the latest high tech invention. And have you ever heard

anyone say they didn’t like the changes Jesus has made in them? Me neither.Rev.Karch’smessagewas

basedonLuke18:18-27. When the rich young ruler

asked Jesus how to inherit eternal life, Jesus told him to sell his possessions, distrib-ute the money to the poor, and then to come follow

Him. His point wasn’t that only the poor could enter heaven. His point was that the riches were more impor-tant to the young man than his relationship with God.

Jesus told his disciples later that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. When they asked who then could be saved, Jesus answered that things that are impossible with men are possible with God.

How this can happen may be found in John’s account of a discussion between Jesus and a young Pharisee named Nicodemus. In John 3:1-6, Jesus tells him that he must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. When Nicodemus questions

how this is possible, Jesus explains that he must be born of both the water and the Spirit.

Through our faith in Christ, the Holy Spirit guides us to be transformed from our self-centered “nature” state to become spiritually more and more like Jesus. Our de-sire to serve God continually increases, while the things that used to come between us and God continually be-comes less important.

Jesus died on the cross to make available to us the kind of spiritual riches that benefit us on earth even aswe lay up treasure in heaven for eternity. If we accept His invitation to trust Him, Jesus will be there to help us through the eye of that needle.

Atwood Baptist Church News

Spring break started this week and the children are excited about being out of school. I think spring has arrived and we are grateful for the spring showers.

We are always glad to welcome visitors, and today Jessica and Nick Janes came and brought their daughter Jaelyn. She is growing fast and I know Tochie and Bill were thrilled to see them.

In our morning worship Robyn Jones sang “Some-body Touched Me” for our special. She is a new talent in our church and we appre-ciate all she does. BroLarry’s sermonwas

taken from Ephesians 2:1-10 and entitled “Created ... To Do Good Works.” Perhaps

the greatest tragedy of being spiritually lost is not know-ing you are lost. The lost are undertheinfluenceofSatan.Until eyes are opened there is little compulsion to change. No one will ever change until confronted by the gospel. Until pointed to Christ, there is no way out. All struggle with an inward feeling of emptiness without Christ. It often takes a crisis to turn us the right direction.

Those who are saved have discovered the depths of God’s love and mercy. We, who were dead in sin have now been brought to life. In Christ we discover some-thing worth living for. We have been promised an in-credible future.

We were not saved so that we spend the rest of our lives just waiting to go home. We are “God’s workman-ship, created in Christ to do good works.” The “works” will not save us, but are an indication that we have been saved. Live a life sodedicated to Christ that it becomes obvious to others. We need to help the sick, af-flicted, imprisoned,andtheimpoverished. Wherever we see people suffering we are to make a difference. People who know Jesus introduce others to Jesus. Inviting them to Christ is life-changing.

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen Mustangs are scheduled to wrap up the spring break week with four games over a day-day pe-riod.

Coach Stephen Caldwell will lead Allen into action ThursdayandFridayat theRedOakFestival.TheMus-tangs will face Heavener at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday. AHS will follow up at 2:30 p.m. with a game against RedOak.Friday’s schedulewill in-

clude a 2:30 p.m. showdown with Wright City. Then, at 4:30, Allen will close out the event against Hartshorne.

The Mustangs carry a re-cordof1-2intotheRedOaktrip.

In recent action, Allen played three games follow-ing a series of rainouts.

Allen opened the baseball season March 12th against Class 2A’s top-ranked Silo. The Mustangs suffered a 6-0 setback in seven innings.

Allen bounced back March 14 with an 8-3 win over Class A’s 15th-ranked Central Marlow.

On Monday, the Mustangs visited Asher and suffered a 9-3 loss to the third-ranked school in Class B baseball.

Coach Stephen Caldwell was proud of his Mustangs for facing such strong com-petition and standing up at a pretty good level.

“We want to play the best and we did that with Silo and Asher,” he said. “We were out there competing. We faced their No. 1 pitcher in all three games. And we had some chances that we did not take advantage of in the Silo game. We jumped out with runners on second and thirdinthefirstandsecondinnings and couldn’t covert. But I believe we are hitting the ball better than I thought we would and I feel good about that. This is only the third time we were on the fieldthisseason(becauseofall the wet weather).”

Josiah Jones was credited with “throwing a heck of a game” against Silo. He worked 4 innings and al-lowed 3 runs on 3 hits and 4 walks. Jones also recorded 3 strikeouts in the loss.

Kanan Wisdom came in for relief and was also praised for his mound work. Wisdom served up 2 innings and al-lowed 2 runs on 2 hits and 1 walk while striking out 3 batters.ColtonFrederickledtheof-

fense with a 2-for-3 showing. Others collecting hits were Kanan Wisdom, Thirkiel Wedlow and Josiah Jones.

On Saturday, Allen pound-ed out an 8-3 win in seven innings. ColtonFrederickwas the

winning pitcher. He threw

6 innings and surrendered 2 runs on 4 hits and a walk and recorded 6 strikeouts .Kanan Wisdom worked a 1 inning of relief and gave up 1 run and 1 hit. He notched 1 strikeout in his appearance.

Dakota Nickell was the top Mustang batter with a 3-for-3 day that included a triple. ColtonFrederickwas2-for-4withasingleandadouble

while Kanan Wisdom (2-4) spanked a pair of singles. Tommy Peay provided a double while Thirkiel Wedlow,

Ty Brown, Tanner Wofford and Dalton James, all added a single each.

On Monday, Allen suffered a 9-3 loss to the Asher In-dians.

Tommy Peay (0-1) started the game and was charged with the loss. He worked 3 and 1/3 innings and allowed 4 runs, 4 hits and 4 walks and 2 strikeouts en route to the setback. RushBlackwasbroughtontopitchthefinal2and2/3in-nings. Black allowed 5 runs on 3 hits, 3 walks and hit two batters. He also recorded 2 strikeouts.

Dakota Nickell was 2-for-3 with a double to lead the of-fense. Tommy Peay was 2-for-4 with a pair of singles. Thirk-iel Wedlow added a double and Kanan Wisdom singled.

Coach Caldwell said his defense will “have to clean up some things.” Even so, he notes they were outside only three timesbeforeplayingtheirfirstgame.

As for pitching, he likes what he’s seen.“I am proud of our rotation,” he said. “With Tommy in

there now, we’ll be that much better.”---

FCCLA Members Grace Laden, Faith Caldwell, Tiffany Johnson, Taylor Johnson , and Ca i t l en Riddle began a “Redefining Beautiful” self-esteem project with the 5th-8th graders at Allen School. FCCLA members have been teaching self-esteem lessons

with the 5th-8th grade girls since November.

The topics of true beauty, insecurities, discovering your strengths, and friendships have been addressed. This project will continue through April in hopes to build the self-esteem of all 5th-8th grade girls.

They have worked so hard to plan fun and informative lessons each month in order to encourage all 5th-8th grade girls and to help build their self-esteem.
