Lady Mus tangs end 3-game road losing streak with exciting home victory

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen Lady Mustangs recently broke into the win column.

Coach Stephen Caldwell’s AHS girls posted a thrill-ing 3-0 victory over the Wanette Tigers. The initial triumph in fall fastpitch softball came in the home opener at the Allen High School sports facility.

The Lady Mustangs had opened the campaign with three consecutive road loss-es. Allen fell 11-1 at Stone-wall on August 11. The Roff Lady Tigers blanked AHS 12-0 a day later. But the real heartbreaker came on August 14 when the Lady Mustangs were edged 15-14 at Vanoss.

Coach Caldwell’s squad came off the road for the first home game on Friday, August 15. It appears a contest in Allen was just what the girls needed. They shook off the road dust and recorded the 3-0 win over the visiting Lady Tigers.

Allen went back out on the road Monday to play the high-powered Wynnewood Lady Savages. The trip was not what Coach Caldwell was hoping to see. His AHS girls came out on the short end of a 10-0 final verdict.

The most recent game proved to be another very competitive contest. The Lady Mustangs battled the visiting Stuart Lady Hornets on Tuesday eve-ning. The outcome was very much in doubt until Stuart scored late to secure a hard-earned 4-1 win over the Allen squad.

“We are working hard,

it’s just not all clicking at once, we need to just hit the ball and everything will fall into place,” said Coach Caldwell

The Lady Mustangs are in the Tupelo Tournament be-ginning Thursday at 4:30.

Coach Caldwell’s Lady Mustangs will be in action again next week with a pair of games on the schedule. Allen will host the Calvin Lady Bulldogs on Monday, August 25 and then visit

the Asher Lady Indians on Tuesday, August 26.

Coach Caldwell and Coach Costner and the Lady Mustangs want to thank ev-eryone who came out to the hamburger / concert fund

raiser Saturday night. “It was a huge turnout. We were overwhelmed by the generocity of everyone, we apprciate the support so much. The girls know that they have great fans behind them.”

CCCCCommentsby Bill Robinson,

Publisher

A few weeks back we received a really nice letter from a dear friend of ours and I wanted to share it with our readers.

Dear Bro. Bill and Sis. Dayna,I was in Coalgate yesterday and purchased a newspa-

per. When I was a gospel DJ at KEOR radio out of Atoka I loved reading the Coalgate paper. When returning home I started reading and came across the “Country Comments” and saw your name. I suppose you still own the Holdenville and Allen paper also. Well I read the column and loved it. This paper reminds me of the weekly newspaper I grew up reading in Danville, AR. I love the community’s news.

I loved the comments this week in “Country Com-ments”. I also remember the “good old days,” also of the “Spit and Whittle bunch”. It has been several years since I have used my knife. My brother, six years older than I and our grandpa made me toys from whittling and Sir, I thought I was RICH. I have heard many stories and I thought they were all true! My brother would whittle and tell my ghost stories to keep me from going home with our grandpa so he could.

Growing up it never took much to make me happy. I owned a knife like my grandpa’s and I owned a “Bean Flip”. I hunted bears in Ark. Ha Ha! I was the only girl in a neighborhood of only boys.

On Sundays the most trouble one could get in was chewing gum in church and I did and climbing and sitting in the Mulberry tree watching my Mother look for me. I was between 4 and 7 years of age at this time.

I can remember in years of the late 50s and 60s after repenting at the Shawnee Church of The Nazarene, I was so hungry and thirsty for the things of God. I found this station from Holdenville (KVYL) it had Sunday afternoon preaching and I ate it up each Sunday. I had no idea that you one time owned this station until I researched your name on the internet after finishing the paper. Each time I passed the road that leads down to where the station used to be, I thank God for providing me with food from its air waves. My mother was Jehovah Witness and was not very happy with me and KVYL. I am thankful that God moved us to Shawnee so I had a neighbor to take me to church. I was 13 years of age.

I remember sitting on the fence around the barn crying and asking the Lord to help me do something for Him. I was just a kid when this happened about 4 to 8 years of age.

I knew nothing about salvation. No one had ever told me about repentance—I just saw the lives some people lived. I preached from the time I was 5 years of age and my Bible was a Sears Catalog and I couldn’t read. God doest bless ignorance I guess. The Shawnee Church of the Nazarene was the first place I could attend and had some older people to pray for me. My pulpit was an old wood apple box.

I have a copy of Dale Evans and Roy Roger’s Mar-riage Certificate that the Museum at Sulphur gave me a few years ago.

I had intended to drive over to visit with you all one day and get a hamburger at place where an Assembly of God lady runs. April 17th, I was taking the trash out before we went on Easter break from school and fell and broke my hand. I keep busy at two schools being a sub. I was taking the trash from the library to the dumpster. I knew the janitor would not do it for another 5 days. On my way I stepped on some bubble gum. I set the trash sack over the fence then I stepped over the fence on the sack, then when I was pulling my left foot over the fence I got it almost over and became unbalanced and started to fall. Since the gum was on my right shoe, I could not balance, fell into the fence and broke my left hand. I am in therapy. I have been one handed since April 17. After breaking my hand I didn’t have time to go to ER. I went home, cleaned up, came to Holdenville Assembly of God to Speak. On my way home Sister Donna Gustin (thank the Lord she was with me) said you are going to ER. I thought it was bruised. I went to Ark., a few weeks ago to preach and any where else, driving one handed.

I am glad I have discovered your column and will have to subscribe to the Coalgate paper now.

—CC— I was in Shawnee this past week and when I stopped for

a red light there was a man on a motorcycle in front of me. The back of his shirt read . . . IF YOU CAN READ THIS, BARBARA FELL OFF.

It reminded me of my friend, the late Eldon Burcham. He and his wife, Clara, were on vacation and had stopped to get gas. Eldon got back in the car and about twenty miles down the road the highway patrol pulled him over. The patrolman asked Eldon if he was missing anything.

“No, not that I can think of.” “How about your wife?”

Eldon thought she was in the backseat resting because that was where she when they pulled into the station. He assumed she had gotten back in. Wrong Assumption!

Eldon said it was a very long trip back home.

Barbara and Clara need to meet and share stories!

—CC— From my “wish I had writ-

ten that” file . . . Another week, another botched lethal injection, said Arit John.

Last week, convicted mur-derer Joseph R. Wood III snorted and gasped his way through a deeply disturb-ing two-hour execution in Arizona, before finally dying – the third death row inmate to experience a botched lethal injection this year.

Some death penalty support-ers have called for the suppos-edly humane procedure to be replaced by the firing squad or guillotine. But in general, don’t expect a few messy ex-ecutions to “change anyone’s mind about capital punish-ment.” Support for the death penalty has dropped just five points since last year, when 64 percent of people polled favored capital punishment.

Why has the pro-execution majority been so unmoved by the spate of slow, agonizing deaths? Simple: Most people don’t care if convicted murder-ers suffer. In fact, some prefer it that way. They ask, Why shouldn’t a man like Wood, who “brutally murdered his estranged girlfriend and her father”, experience the kind of pain and terror he inflicted on his victims?

(thewire.com) How about giving the mur-

derers a choice. Death by lethal injection or be killed in the same manner that their victims were?

—CC— This past week I watched an

interview with the parents of a young lady that died in a car wreck. She would have soon become a Registered Nurse.

The parents had co-signed her student loan note realiz-ing that as an RN she would be able to pay it back. After her unexpected death, the parents received a notice that they would be liable for what she owed.

It appears that they are go-ing to have to sell their home and possessions to pay their daughters loan.

It is amazing that our gov-ernment will forgive foreign countries of billions of dollars of debt but sue the parents of a student that was tragically killed.

Students should be allowed to erase their debts via bank-ruptcy, said George Leef. We let people escape from heavy credit card and medical debt, so why not college debt?

A major objection is that the government, and there-fore taxpayers, would be on the hook, since most student loans are backed by the gov-ernment. That’s why we

should force schools to bear the risk instead. Colleges currently “have absolutely nothing to lose when

they enroll students who have borrowed for the tuition but have minimal academic ability and interest.” Putting schools on the hook for a bankrupt graduate’s loan payments would have dramatic consequences, forcing institutions to stop ”trying to recruit any warm body who can use government loans to cover the tuition” and think instead about a student’s “academic ability and future prospects.”

It would be good for students, too, giving them an incentive “to show that they are worth taking a risk on, not just that they’d like to give college a try.”

I’d much prefer that the government get out of the college lending business altogether. But in the meantime, it makes eminent sense to force colleges to “have some ‘skin in the game.’”

Speaking of money . . . Three out of four American teens lack the skills to decipher a pay stub. That’s just one of the sobering findings from the first international test of teenagers’ financial literacy. American 15-year-olds posted barely average scores, with the U.S. ranking in the middle of the 18 countries whose students participated.

The top group of teenagers was from China (specifically Shanghai). The average kid there ranked at about the same level as the high U.S. scorers.

The test, called PISA, or the Program for International Student Assessment, is best known for shining a spotlight on American kids’ wobbly knowledge of math and science. It is administered worldwide on a variety of subjects every three years. In 2012 a financial literacy section was added, and the results were released July 9.

Last year education researchers at the University of Cambridge reviewed more than 150 papers and studies and concluded that basic financial habits are pretty much set by age 7. A pivotal 2009 University of Wisconsin report showed that children as young as 3 are able to grasp basic financial concepts like value, exchange and choice.

Teaching kids about money is terrifying for parents who feel shaky about their own financial knowledge. And it is even harder for families on the lowest rungs of the economic ladder: The PISA results show a strong correlation between a family’s socioeconomic status and their kid’s financial literacy. But you don’t need to be a financial planner to teach your child to save a dime of every dollar, compare prices when you shop, or avoid high-interest credit-card debt.

Studies have shown that simply opening a college savings account for a child, even if it contains an extremely small sum, will exponentially increase the chances that he will go to college. In 2009 Pew’s Economic Mobility Project found that 71% of children born to low-income parents who are good savers move up the economic ladder, compared with only 50% of children from low-income households that don’t save.

While teaching financial literacy to your own children is a challenge, I’ve found that most parents are eager to learn the basics. As a member of the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability, I helped to develop the website Mon-eyAsYouGrow.org, which synthesizes much of the best research and educational materials available into a handful of financial rules of thumb for each age group. The site has drawn a million visitors since its launch in May 2012, many of them mothers on Pinterest.

The first step is to talk about money with your children, though this has long been taboo in many American households. When kids are very young, you can stress the virtues of waiting and delaying gratification, and as children get a bit older you can drive home the idea that spending less than you have is the linchpin of a healthy financial life.

Doing so may make parents savvier as well. After Sesame Street ran a financial-education initiative (including videos and educational materials) in 2011, an impact study by the research firm Fluent showed the program had taught preschoolers about money and resulted in more parents saving.

Most parents don’t care where the U.S. falls in the PISA rank-ings, but a report last month by the University of Arizona – from a study tracking the financial lives of more than 1,000 young adults –found that al couple of years after graduating from col-lege, half of the students were receiving financial support from family (read: mostly mom and dad) even if they had full-time jobs.

You don’t need to be able to calculate compound interest your-self to get your kids interested in saving – though the personal finance writer in me says it can be fun to sit with your kids, plug numbers into the calculator on investor.gov, and see how long they’d have to save to reach a thousand bucks.

— Beth KoblinerWall Street Journal

—CC— And finally, my favorite “money” story of the week . . . Billionaire Jean Paul Getty was once asked the secret of his

success. Said Getty, “Some people find oil. Others don’t.”

Last month all around our area, Relay for Life events were held. One of the fea-tures of the evening was for anyone with hair long enough to have at least 7 inches cut off, to get it cut and donated the cut off por-tion for wigs to be made.

The fashion trend for the past few years and still is, is to let that hair grow and keep growing. Mostly the style is now long straight hair, parted in the middle. It is many times tied back in a pony tail, but a lot of times it just floats around

the head, sometimes dip-ping across one eye, etc.

The hair cutting event at those Relay For Life events was one of my favorite things the night I attended. One of my best friends had her hair cut for the first time in about two years. The beauty operator cut her hair to just shoulder length and also cut her some bangs. I had not seen my friend look so pretty in several years. She looked much younger also. Now I may sound like someone you don’t like to think about, but I thought she looked younger, pret-tier than I had seen her in

years, and, yes, I liked her hair cut very, very much. I could see both eyes when I talked to her and I liked that immensely.

I think with this long, straight hair trend, beauty operators will forget how to give permanents, and I need one about every six months.

I had some time last week and dropped into the beauty shop to just visit. I watched the two hairdressers there and every customer they worked on got a dye or a bleach job. No haircuts. No permanents. Just a dye or bleach job. All the hair

they worked on was very long. It took a long time for each customer. One operator finished the job she was working on and I heard her tell the customer that the cost would be $85. The customer gave her a $5 tip. When I get my hair cut, it takes about 15 minutes, the cost is $12 and I tip $5. I would think an $85 job would get a larger tip. I like the $12 cost because I think my daughter in Washington, D. C. pays about $75 for a haircut and she tips the hair dresser and also the one who shampoos her hair.

I like living in a small town and the $12 it costs to get my hair cut. Thank you for letting me ramble.

Time to guard your pets against fleas and ticks

Tim Costner, D.V.M

Reading the paper the other day I noticed that ISIS has not only prom-ised to plant their flag (very soon) atop the White House they hope to chop off a few dozen heads while they’re at it. I don’t know about you but I don’t like the idea of anyone chopping off my own per-sonal head and that may be why bad guys such as Islamic Terrorist promise us such things.

I was pretty busy worry-ing about this but I noticed the next news item was

Ebola. I hate being sick, too. This incurable dis-ease is sweeping parts of Africa. Terror is causing the population to stampede away from affected areas and the disease is moving faster than salts through a widow woman (to copy one common phrase—sorry). Ebola is expected by some experts to come to America. I don’t like the idea of Ebola coming to America.

Dramatic as it may be to lop off a head or catch the deadly Ebola, another dread is global warming. With the glaciers melting and the Artic opening up and the oceans said to be rising faster than interest rates things are going to get messy in places like New York City. I can see it now. Well-dressed Wall Street Moguls wad-ing knee deep water to get to their ticker-tapes and saddened financiers leaping from upper win-dows into 18 inch deep global warming water in the street. There is little hope. We have failed miserably to properly edu-cate our kids—thus they have no idea or ability of how to overcome or even attempt to deal with the new problems confronting the world. Besides, many of them are on drugs and overweight. Scratch them off your help list.

I guess we will just have to fall back on our trust in our leadership. Our national leadership. Yes, the president himself. I laid my paper down and clicked on the flat-screen TV that entertains me so faithfully. A newswoman (I didn’t quite get her name but it was something like Greta Von Estrogen) and she was pointing out fault after fault infesting the present President’s brain rendering him to-tally incapable of dealing with ISIS, Ebola or global warming. But he only has a little time left and thank goodness a new guy or gal is coming to the fore. Hillary will not only be our salvation, she has her well-experienced husband from a place called Hope to advise her. However, my high hopes for her dimmed a bit when I heard her described by the pres-ent President as being full

of Horse Manure or some-thing like that.

The girl on Fox went on to point out that there was a lot of popular demand for a man named Romney, who got beat the last time he run. Besides, I heard some democrats on TV say that Romney would re-institute slavery, (actu-ally!) suspend women’s rights and declare war on just about everyone. Now there’s something to be worrying about indeed. Not the least of my worries is Israel under attack by the Hittites or somebody.

I tell you it gives me a headache.

If you too have worried long and hard about these worrisome problems and events, you might like to do as I am about to do—I’m going to take a nap. Perhaps I’ll have happy dreams of the Sooner’s winning another national championship. Or perhaps not. I hope all of you have a good week and are sure to go to church next Sun-day. But don’t take your nap there.

A 14-year-old girl once asked, “Why is it that every-thing that is fun, pleasant and enjoyable is wrong or bad and forbidden? Do you suppose that she thought the rules of her parents were keeping her from good and enjoyable experiences? Do parents try to keep children from enjoying good things? It seems there are some par-ents guilty of child abuse, but they are the exceptions and usually have evil ways. Most parents make rules for their children for their good. Rules are not usually made to harm us or restrict us from enjoying life. God has not forbidden murder, adultery, lying, coveting or the worship of idols to restrict us, enslave us or to keep us from good things in life. The things God forbids are things that enslave, harm or destroy us. God teaches

us through His word in the Bible in order to set us free from sin that brings death. Jesus said, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32) The truth from God sets people free. In order to set the human race free from the disease of polio, we had to learn the truth about it. Likewise the truth from God – all His rules, com-mands and teaching – will set us free from things that enslave, harm and kill us. It’s like the rules we have in our home. We have rules about things we won’t eat. As parents, we have taught our children to not eat any-thing that is out of date. They are not allowed to eat “road-kill.” And, if the chil-dren drop something on the floor, it must not be eaten. We are not trying to keep them from good food, but trying to help them enjoy good food for many years to come. Likewise, God’s rules are not to restrict us, but to give us the abundant life on earth and eternal life in heaven.

Ballots will be issued to Pontotoc and Hughes County voters this Tuesday, August 26th, at all regular voting lo-cation who are registered to vote Democratic or living in the Asher School District, to decide their Special Bond election.

The Democratic ballot for both counties contains two races: for the position of Superintendent of Public Instruc-tion between John Cox and Freda Deskin; and for the unexpired senate seat vacated by Tom Coburn, candidates are Connie Johnson and Jim Rogers. In addition, those who vote in Holdenville, Yeager, Horntown and Spaulding will choose their candidate for Hughes County District 1 Commissioner. The two men vying for that position are Gary A. Phillips and Clyde Collis.

Voters who want to cast absentee ballots still can do so in person at the County Election Board office on Thursday, August 21st, and Friday, August 22nd, from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. On Saturday, August 23rd, voters may vote from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

A two-member, bipartisan Absentee Voting Board will be on duty each day to assist absentee voters.

In-person absentee voters fill out an application form when they get to the office. They are not required to give any reason for voting absentee. They are required to swear that they have not voted a regular mail absentee ballot and that they will not vote at their polling place on election day.

According to county election secretaries, the Absentee Voting Board or office staff verifies a voter’s registration information. Then, the Board issues all the appropriate ballots to the voter. The voter marks the ballots in a vot-ing booth and then casts them in the voting device. “It is very much like voting at a precinct polling place,” said Pontotoc County Election Secretary Marilyn McDaniel.

Run-off Election Tuesday

THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, AUGUST 21, 2014 -PAGE 6

The Town of Allen regular meeting was held Monday, August 4th at City Hall.

After approving the claims and minutes from the previous month’s meeting the council met with Bo McIvoy from SODA who is helping us work on our Local Planning Committee Capital Improvement Plan. This plan lists the priorities of improvements of the town for the next 5 years to give an idea what monies we should be looking for in the form of grants. The major focus of the plan is on infrastructure improvements : water, sewer, and streets. On that note our application for this years REAP grant for sewer improvements. To be eligible for most of those grants the towns must prove that they are making an attempt to be self sufficient

with the public works, which equals paying more for the service. The board reluctantly voted to increase water and sewer rates beginning in September. Just like everything else the cost of delivering water and sewer services have increased. Everything from electricity to run the pumps to added Federal and State testing have forced the increase. The minimum bill will increase $6.90 per month. The last water and sewer rate increase was in May of 2011. The new rates are published at the end of the story.

The Allen Police reported that during July tickets were issued for speeding, disturbing the peace, no insurance, DUI, reckless driving, disobeying stop sign, animal at large, taxes due state (expired tag), driving left of center, illegal U-turn, no drivers license,

curfew violation, defective equipment and il legal passing. The calls they worked included vandalism, unattended death, statutory rape, overdose, runaway juveniles, burglary, prowler and welfare checks

The Allen Fire Department asked for approval to use county tax money to purchase at state bid price a new truck. A request will be sent to the Pontotoc County Commissioners to purchase from Hudiburg Auto Group a 2015 Cab and Chassis plus a 9’ J&I Bed with off road tires for $31,976. As of now the paperwork is being filled out to make the request to the commissioners and County Emergency Management Director for their approval. So far the tax money has been used for new equipment (coats, pants and radios) for the department.

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The 2014 football season was shaping up to be an incredible journey for the Allen Mustangs. It could still turn out to be a magical campaign.

The one true threat to Mustang magic is the dan-ger of injuries.

Last week, Coach Kenny Deaton was almost giddy when considering the possi-bilities for the latest edition at Allen High School. The community is chomping at the bit for a very successful year.

“I am excited, too,” he said. “Of course you can’t count anything before it happens. But if we can stay healthy, I like our chances. I believe we have the op-

portunity to have a really good year.”

Kenny Deaton has been around football for many years. He knows that po-tential glory can evaporate quickly with a few injuries to front-line guys. Two of his players are out while awaiting a doctor’s release – which is expected to be granted prior to the season opener. However, his big-gest concern is for an out-standing player who went down with a fractured fibula late last week.

“It happened on Friday during the 7 a.m. practice,” Coach Deaton said. “We started out with our Okla-homa Drill and my best lineman, Jason Holcomb, suffered a fractured fibula. At first, we thought he had

just sprained his ankle. But we found out later it was worse than we thought.”

Holcomb was be ing counted upon to anchor the line. The 6-4, 265-pound senior will be lost for a few weeks, but a more spe-cific timeframe will be an-nounced later by an ortho-pedic surgeon.

“The good news is that we did not lose him for the entire season,” Coach Deaton said. “The bad news is that we’ll not have him for a while this season. We just don’t know at this point how long that will be.”

The other good news is that Allen has someone who is capable of stepping into the spot and performing at a high level.

“We have Joe Howshar to put in on the line,” the head coach said. “He is a sopho-more and about 5-10 and 250 pounds. He’s someone we will count on to do the job. I am so glad we have depth there and at most other places too. That is so helpful when you run into injuries. If you don’t have any depth, you can get into trouble in a hurry. We have backups at every position. That is the difference with this team this season.”

As for the other Mustangs, they have been eager to step up and work on their skills. They had a much better afternoon practice session on the first day of full pads and full contact.

“Everything went very well, especially on Friday evening,” the coach said. “It was a good, spirited prac-tice. The pads were popping and the kids were really getting after it. We took a short break and then had an inner-squad scrimmage. It lasted about 30 minutes. It was good and crisp. That’s what we wanted to see from them on the first day of pads and contact. We’ll build off of that.”

Looking ahead, the coach-ing staff will encourage similar effort this week as the Mustangs gear up for the first of two scrimmages over the next seven days.

The first scrimmage will be on Friday, August 22 at Haileyville. Allen and Haileyville will be joined by Maysville, Caddo and maybe Arkoma.

Allen will host the second scrimmage on Thursday, August 28. The Mustangs will be joined by Dew-ar, Davenport, Alex, Hai-leyville and Canadian.

“We should call this the state championship scrim-mages,” said Coach Deaton. “We will have the No. 3 team, the No. 4 team, the No. 6 team and the No. 7 team at that one scrimmage. This could be the state semi-final teams on our field! You never know, but there are sure some strong teams coming to our place for this scrimmage.”

The coach will be looking for the Mustang candidates to earn their way into the starting lineup for the va-cant spots still available.

“We need to fill some key holes on defense,” he said. “Those scrimmages will

be important for us in that area.”

Calvin Welcomes Back Students

A 4-H held a pie auction at the Calvin Ag barn this week. This particular activity was a fundraiser for the activities and escapades the kids enjoy.

A poster board was standing near entry way, showing pic-tures of multiple kids smiling, and participating in a plethora of activities, posing in various ways, making arts and crafts, and etc. This was a way of non-verbally telling everyone

The Calvin Bulldogs manage to stay even with Wanette until the fifth inning. The Tigers pulled a rally that was too much for the Bulldogs to handle. In the top of the first, Wesley Bain led off the game with a walk. Bain then stole second. Kaden Turpin put down a sacrifice bunt to bring Bain home and give the Bulldogs an early one to nothing lead. Wanette came back in the bottom of the first and scored a couple of runs to take a 2-1 lead. In the top of the third Calvin first baseman, Juan Martinez, took one for the team when he

that 4-H brings joy to the masses (of children).

The items auctioned off were pies varying in flavors such as apple, cherry, pecan, coconut cream, and rhubarb, including and limited to cook-ies, cupcakes, cakes, fudge, and stewed and/or steam veg-etables.

Among the array of sweets, this was indeed the odd ball

that stands out. Larry and Laramy Wilson provided the food for the attendees, fill-ing stomachs with barbecued meat.

All in all, the auction was a success, bringing in a stag-gering amount of $5200! Once again showing that small towns tend to care more for their neighbors as well as the children’s happiness.

was hit by a pitch. Martinez advanced to second on a single hit by Michael Iker, and scored when Justin Holman single up the middle. The Bulldogs were tied with the Tigers at the bottom of the third 2-2. In the top of the fourth the Bulldogs started a rally when Carl Nester was awarded first base after being hit by a pitch. Wesley Bain advanced Nester to second with a single. Kaden Turpin then advanced him to home with a single right up the middle. Wesley Bain then scored when Kyler Turpin doubled. Coach Holland

called for a squeeze bunt while Anthony Harrison was up to bat. Anthony made a perfect bunt scoring Kaden Turpin putting Calvin ahead 5-2. In the bottom of the fourth Wanette regained the lead with a four run rally. The Bulldogs were unable to answer in the top of the fifth and Wanette scored five more runs in the bottom of the stanza. . In the bottom of the sixth, Wanette scored one more run. The Bulldogs were unable to score in the top of the seventh but were able to keep Wanette from scoring ending the game with Wanette winning 11-5.

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.

Town of Stonewall (Published in The Allen Advocate on August 21, 2014)

Sunday was a special day for the “Janes & Cates” family. Bro. Larry ded-icated Jessica and Nick Janes’ baby girl, Jaelyn, in our morning service. Both sides of the families were there and it was a special occasion. .

Bro. Larry’s sermon was on God’s greatest gift, chil-dren. Adults tend to get caught up in what is im-portant to adults; earning a living, climbing the ladder, and becoming “somebody.” It seems like the older we get the more complicated life gets. We forget how beautiful the simple life is. As adults we may well have some huge respon-sibilities. None of those responsibilities are greater than “the children.” God is concerned with the chil-dren. What kind of world

Others who enjoyed the few days with Mr. Griffin were Kenneth and Brenda Manuel, Bill and Deonna Griffin, and other family members.

Just when we thought we wouldn’t have much of a sum-mer this year, things warmed up. Now I can see why people in mountain states complain about a few days of 90 degree weather.

Please be in prayer for stu-dents, teachers, staff, and bus drivers this school year. Also, at 6:30 P.M. on August 13th, we will have a prayer meeting at our church to pray for Wyatt Deaton who is to have major surgery in Oklahoma City, on August 14th.

On Sunday, August 17th, we

will have our regular 3rd Sun-day fellowship meal. Guests are invited to stay and eat with us. Not only will we enjoy your company, we’ll be thrilled to have someone new to tell our best stories to.

Tom Spillman and Wyatt Deaton brought the special music this week. They chose “Life’s Railway to Heaven.” It has been several years now since there was a rail line near Atwood, but I for one kind of miss it. There’s a reassuring majestic power in the distant rumble of the train and its

whistle in the still of the night. I don’t suppose that comment has much to do with Tom and Wyatt’s special music except that it’s nice to know that Je-sus, the engineer of our lives, is awake and watching out for us even while we take our rest.

Rev. Karch’s sermon was based in I Corinthians 9:19-27. The Apostle Paul said that although he was free in Christ he chose to live as a servant. He lived his faith by sharing the gospel message to win souls to the kingdom of heaven.

Paul was a Roman citizen by birth, a Jew by blood, and a Christian after he encountered Jesus. When he was with Jews he observed the Jewish laws so that he would not offend them before he could even begin telling them about Jesus. When he was with Gentiles he didn’t insist that they ob-serve Jewish laws; he simply found common ground with them and then told them what he knew about Jesus. Paul showed respect and apprecia-tion to the weak, and he told them about Jesus, too. In other words, he cared about people

and was eager find a way to share the gospel message with them.

Paul said that Christians should focus on winning the lost so that their work would glorify God. They should be temperate in expressing their opinions and moderate their behavior so that they wouldn’t cause unnecessary offense. He said that Chris-tians who patterned their life after Jesus and did not follow after the world would be the kind of people whose love would lead others to find sal-vation, in Jesus.

What was Paul’s message? In his first letter to the Cor-inthians, chapter 15:3 and 4 he said “…that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that He was buried, that He rose again on the third day according to scripture.” (NKV)

In his letter to the Romans, chapter 10:9,10,13 Paul writes “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. For whomever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (NKJ)

That was the good news Paul was eager to share; it is the good news we have received; and now it is the message we are privileged to pass on to others.
