THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JANUARY 10, 2013 - PAGE 2

My favorite Christmas story this year is about the husband who bought his wife a beautiful diamond ring for Christ-mas.

After hearing about his extravagant gift, a friend of his said, “I thought she wanted one of those sporty four-wheel-drive vehicles.”

“She did,” he replied. “But where was I going to find a fake Jeep?”

—CC— 2012 has ended and it always fun to look back at what “they”

said was good for us and the things that were not. Some of the things they said were good for us . . .

Acupuncture can ease your pain. New research shows that the ancient Chinese healing technique – which involves sticking needles into specific points in the body to encourage the flow of “qi”, or energy, through unseen pathways – often works better than over-the-counter remedies. About 50 per-cent of the people who have migraines, arthritis and chronic back or joint pain reported feeling significantly better after undergoing acupuncture, compared with 30 percent of people who tried traditional remedies. Doctors still don’t understand how acupuncture works, says Andrew Vickers of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, but they now have “firm evidence” that it’s an effective treatment for chronic pain.

Arguing with your parents as a teenager trains you to reject peer pressure. University of Virginia researchers ob-served more than 150 13-year-olds as they disputed issues like grades and chores with their mothers. Checking back in with the teens several years later, they discovered that those who had argued the longest and most convincingly – without yelling or whining – were also 40 percent less likely to have accepted offers of drugs and alcohol than the teens who were required to simply obey their mothers. Study author Joseph P. Allen says constructive debates with parents are “a critical training ground” for independent decision-making.

Adding spices to meals can hike your metabolism and improve your heart health. Penn State University research-ers prepared identical high-fat meals for two groups of vol-unteers, then added a mix of spices – including rosemary, oregano and cinnamon – to the meal of one group. Eating rich foods typically increases blood levels of insulin and triglyceride fats, which heighten the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Volunteers eating the spicy meal saw increases in triglycerides and insulin that were 31 percent and 21 per-cent lower, respectively, than those of the group who ate the blander offerings. Study author Sheila West suspects the antioxidants in spices are responsible.

Popcorn protects you from cancer and heart disease. Tests of several popcorn brands revealed that the hulls – the tough fragments that often stick in your teeth – contain surprising high levels of disease-fighting antioxidants called polyphe-nols; one serving of popcorn packs more than twice the poly-

phenols that a similar serving of most fruits and vegetables does, though popcorn lacks key vitamins. Study author Joe Vinson says that popcorn hulls, which are also rich in fiber, are “nutritional gold nuggets” that make popcorn the perfect snack food – as long as you air-pop it and hold the salt and butter.

. . . and some of the things we were told to avoid . . .

Being rich makes you more likely to lie, cheat and steal. A series of experiments con-ducted on volunteers with annual incomes ranging be-tween $16,000 and $150,000 found that the wealthiest were most likely to cheat to win a $50 prize, take candy from children, and pocket extra change given to them by mistake. Drivers of pricier cars were also four times more likely than those who drove cheaper models to cut off other drivers and pedestri-ans. Being wealthy seems to insulate you from the outside world and make you “less likely to perceive the impact” that your behavior has on oth-ers, says study author Paul Piff.

Sleeping in on the week-ends can make you fat. A German study found that a person’s odds of being over-weight increase 33 percent for every hour of difference between their weekday and weekend sleep schedules. Two out of three people ef-fectively commute between two time zones each week, disrupting their circadian rhythms. That “social jet lag” leads them “to eat at times when the body doesn’t want to eat or isn’t prepared for digesting food properly”, thus leading to weight gain, says study author Till Roen-neberg.

Too much exercise may hurt you more than it helps. While being a runner lowers your risk of early death by nearly 20 percent over not running, running more than

20 miles per week appears to cancel out that benefit. Jog-ging slowly decreases mor-tality risk, whereas running at a pace faster than 8 minutes a mile has been found to put extra stress on the heart. Studies have shown that more than an hour of intense aero-bic activity per day can cause serious heart problems – in-cluding scarring, an irregular heartbeat, and clogged arter-ies. Many people wrongly assume that “if moderate exercise is good, then more is better,” says study author James H. O’Keefe. But beyond an hour, “you reach a point of diminishing re-turns.”

Playing youth soccer can permanently damage your brain, as can other sports that

involve repeated blows to the head. Mounting evidence shows that the routine hits youth athletes take playing football, soccer, lacrosse, and even volleyball can cause cognitive problems. Girl soccer players have more concussions than any other young athletes except football players. “What’s happening in this country is an epidemic of concussions,” says sports physician Bob Cantu, who warns that brain injuries can affect some young people “for the rest of their lives.”

Worrying about everyday problems will shorten your life. A British study found that people who reported feeling even mild anxiety - the sort that distracted them, depleted their self-confidence, or occa-

sionally kept them awake at night – were 16 percent more likely to die over a 10-year period than people with no such concerns. About one in four people experiences mild anxiety, but most go untreat-ed. Mild stressors – includ-ing those surrounding work, finances, and relationships – are so common that they’re virtually impossible to avoid, but psychiatrist Glyn Lewis says exercise, meditation, or talk therapy can tame “their biological impact.”

You may agree or disagree with some of the findings, but they are always interesting to read.

—CC— One of the most interesting

finds this past year concerns the common cold.

Polite people around the world routinely fend off com-mon colds better than rude ones, according to a recent survey. Among 12,000 re-sponders from 12 countries, adults who felt embarrassed after sneezing or coughing on others were most likely to be free of colds.

Why? Researchers found that those who respect the health of others are more apt to wash their hands frequently and generally protect them-selves. Stay-at-home moms took top honors for manners and hygiene. Students and office workers ranked low-est.

So, if you want to avoid colds or at least get over them quicker . . . Be Nice!

And last of all, our family had a picture made over the Christmas holidays. It ap-pears that we have changed a little bit since the last picture. That is why I appreciated the following story . . .

The young boy and his mother were looking at the family album when they came to a picture of a hand-some young man with dark,

wavy hair. “Who’s that?” asked the

boy. “Why, that’s your father,”

his mother replied proudly.

“Well,” the boy asked skep-tically, “then who’s that pot-bellied, baldheaded old guy who’s living with us?”

by Cleo Emerson LeVally Christmas in Vienna

Editor’s Note: This article should have preceded the one printed in our December 27th issue. We apologize to Mrs. LeVally and our readers for the confusion.

Our first visit to see my daughter, Phylece, after she became posted to Vienna,

Austria, was planned so that we could see winter in Europe and to celebrate Christmas and New Years with her. We booked our flight to land in Munich, Germany so that we could take the train to see some of the country on our way to

Vienna. Earl had flown over that part of Europe during the war, and as I had never been to Europe, we thought this was a good opportunity to see as much as we could on this trip.

It was snowing when we

landed in Munich and the train trip to Vienna was five hours long. We saw some beauti-ful country and cities along the way. There were children playing on the slopes with sleds and skies and with the snow, it seemed like a winter wonderland. The mountains were covered with pine trees and most of the villages we passed through were small and had a very different look than the American cities we were used to. Every village had a small church with a tall spire and most of them were built of white stone.

On the mountains we could see how they preserved their forests. As they cut the trees for market, only a small portion was cut at a time. Then small trees were planted to re-place those, so the mountains had strips of trees in various heights as was evidence of that plan. I had never seen that in America.

Another thing observed was that behind almost every house, there was a small building. To us they looked like outdoor privies, as they were just very small buildings. Phylece told us these were garden houses. As the country we were pass-ing through was near a river, people could purchase a small plot of ground and build these small buildings. On holiday, they were used when the peo-ple came to the river for a vacation.

Phylece had an apartment in the heart of the city, called the Ring, or Inner City. The building originally had been a nunnery and the cellar or dungeon had what appeared to be small rooms and they were now used for storage for the tenants. The basement and first floor was built in 1760 and the upper five floors were finished in 1783. This was a six story building. As this building was in the heart of the city, several businesses were located here also. There was a dentist of-fice, attorneys, stenographers, etc. on any given floor of the building. The business names were listed on a plaque on the street side of the building, on the ground level.

The Inner City is the por-tion of the city that had a wall around it, called the Ring. Out-side the Ring, the city sprawls through 22 other districts with

parks, farms and vineyards sometimes in the city limits. Vienna is a very, very large city with a population of ap-proximately 1.7 million people and the spoken language is German. We found that a lot of the people understood English, especially the shopkeepers and cashiers in the shops. They could understand and speak enough to carry on business.

From the first minute we ar-rived we went out into the street and saw all of the wonderful buildings and well dressed people. It seemed like a movie screen unfolding in front of us. It did not take much imagina-tion to believe that Vienna was once the center of the empire and the most important city in Central Europe. The old look remained and was part of its charm.

Next week, I will continue my story about Vienna, but since this is Christmas week, I want to describe the difference in their holiday. If you happen to be in Vienna and see all of the children on the street on Christmas Eve, it is because they are sent away from the house and the family puts up the Kris Kringle Tree and puts out the present for the children. The children are brought back home in the evening and see the tree and gifts for the first time. The Christmas lights are turned on and carols are sung as they gather around the tree. Then presents are opened and they have the Christmas dinner. Dinner starts with a Malauge which is a small cup of very strong coffee, for the adults. Then dinner is served. Turkey is not the main dish but the family that invited us for dinner had turkey and dressing for Earl and me. Fish is the one that must be a part of their din-ner, along with other German dishes. They condiments are for the fish that is served. The family kidded us a lot about the food they had prepared just for us. We also had a small taste of what they had prepared to go with the fish.

The family all wanted to talk English, as they explained it, they wanted to practice their English. A lot of them learn English by the television pro-grams they watch.

We were very fortunate to get a look into their way of celebrating the Christmas holi-days.

It will be interesting to see when and if the Keystone Pipe-line which is being constructed and laid from Hardesty, Al-berta, Canada to the Port of Houston is ever completed. The line is currently coming by the eastern edge of Allen through Hughes County and is employing hundreds of people. Completion of the line would be a giant step forward in marketing new energy sources in Canada and in the USA. Meanwhile, the pipeline is in its early stages of construction and the tank farm in Cush-ing is still being expanded. Producers are still finding their products discounted as production exceeds what local storage, refiners and pipelines can handle—such is the glut of oil these days.

Pipelines are considered by people who know about such things to be a safe and reliable way to transport oil products. They help keep down heavy truck-transport traffic on back roads and country bridges. It’s

a cheap and reliable way to get the product where you want it. So why do people oppose pipelines? Well, you have to read between the lines—they weren’t that worried about the Ogallala aquifer or of spillage in a creek someplace. There is something else. That something else is called global warming.

The global warming crowd’s theory goes that work-ing to make petroleum prod-ucts more expensive and scarce will promote the further de-velopment of wind and solar power—thus saving the planet. We’ll also have to admit that their fight to complicate and or hinder the energy industry is working pretty well. Their actions do indeed force up the price of gas at the pump. A lot of global warmers also hold an almost religious belief that their fight is just and correct—that burning oil produces car-bon dioxide (true) which is not

only harmful but evil. Implicit in this is their

theory that burning of hydro-carbons is actually unneces-sary—that we can produce enough energy from wind and sun. This bunch of zealots also preach that there is a sin-ister plot by the “powers that be” to deny people access to more efficient engines (that get 200mpg) and these people’s interest in keeping us from using hydrogen engines and other magic fuels that can be produced on a factory assem-bly line. These people fight oil wells, pipelines, cheap gas and fracking in their noble hopes of saving us from ourselves.

Someone needs to re-vive Albert Einstein’s works and words about energy and physics and have all of us sit down and revisit our old 9th grade general science classes. The energy crisis needs to be approached with good sense and a lot of logic. Or to put it

another way, let’s settle down here.

Have a good weekend and be sure and go to church

Sunday. It’ll be energy put to good use.

The bumper sticker read, “Don’t believe in hell?” You’d better be right!” If you do not believe in hell and you are mistaken, you are in a “heap of trouble.” You are betting that God does not exist, that the Bible is not true and that man exists completely by ac-cident. Doesn’t that seem like betting against the odds? Jesus believed in hell and warned us of its terribleness. He said it would be better to cut off your

hand or pluck out your eye than to let your hand or eye lead you into sin and cause your whole body to be cast into hell. (Matt 5:29-30)

Jesus said the fire of hell is never extinguished. (Mark 9:43) It is described as “ev-erlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Matt 25:42) Also, it is described as a “lake of fire and brimstone” where those who refused to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ will be “tormented day and night forever and ever.” (Rev-elation 20:10) It is doubtful that we can begin to imagine the terribleness of the pain and suffering people will experi-ence in hell. It seems as though it will be beyond anything we can experience in the flesh on earth.

Sometimes people ask, how can a God of love, mercy and grace send anyone to such a place? However, we need to

recognize that God has done everything possible to prevent anyone going there. In love and mercy, God gave His son as the sacrifice to die in our stead so we would not have to go to Hell. He desires that everyone be saved. (1 Tim. 2:4) Those who go there will go because of their own choice. They have chosen to not be-lieve or trust God. They love the ways of the world and of the Devil. Thus, they will go to be with the devil through eternity.

Why should a person ex-pect God to save him from hell when he has spurned and rejected the efforts of God to save him from hell? If we count as nothing God’s love, mercy and favor and consider the death of His Son to save us as rubbish, why shouldn’t God let us go to eternal punishment in hell?

The Allen Lady Mustangs won’t have to wait long to get revenge against the powerful Stonewall Lady Longhorns.

Last week, the Stonewall ladies scored a 49-22 win over the visit-ing Allen Lady Mustangs. The

game was staged on Friday at Stonewall High School.

“We’ll see Stonewall again Thursday,” said Allen head coach Jeremy Strong. “We are paired with them in the first round of the Moss tournament.”

Coach Strong said the Moss

event is loaded with outstanding girls teams in 2013.

“There will be 4 of the top 12 teams in this (8-team) field,” he said. “Kiowa, Dewar, Stonewall and New Lima are all in the tournament. Besides us, the other teams are Moss, Wetumka, Stuart and Bowlegs.”

To be successful against Stone-wall, the Allen squad will have to do a better job on offense. The Lady Mustang defense will also have to take it up a notch.

“At times, we got lost on de-fense,” Coach Strong said. “You can not do that with a team like Stonewall. They made us pay for it. We also need to play more physical in the paint. The good thing is that all of these things can be fixed. We’ll have to step out there and put it all together on Thursday.”

On Friday, Allen led 6-5 in the first quarter. However, Stonewall rose up and outscored the Lady Mustangs 12-5 in the second quarter and 20-3 in the back-breaking third quarter. The Lady Longhorns were riding a 37-14 advantage coming into the final period. Allen was outscored 12-8 down the stretch to lose 49-22.

Beyla Skelton led Allen scor-ing with a double-digit 14-point scoring performance. The rest of the scoring dropped off quite a bit. Three girls scored 2 points each,

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen Mustangs faced terror from the sky in their recent game at Stonewall. The hosting Longhorns drilled 10 treys to shoot down the Mustangs 66-55.

“Those 10 treys really hurt us in a game we lost by 11 points,” said Allen coach Greg Mills. “They used the third quarter to do most of their damage. They outscored us by 10 points in the third quarter!”

Allen led a tight game 18-17 after the first period. Stonewall came back to even the game at 27-27 at halftime. The contest then turned in the Longhorns’ favor in the third stanza. The host team outscored the Mustangs 17-7 to pull ahead 35-34. Stonewall then outscored Allen 22-21 in a wild fourth quarter to hold on to the 66-55 win.

Two AHS players landed in double figures in scoring. Cole Young was tops with 13 points. Conner Johnson added 11 points to finish in second place. The rest of the scoring was more balanced for the Mustangs. Lane Mills scored 7 points while Jaret Holland added 6 points. Joseph Hopper, Logan Dennis and Zayne Erickson all scored 4 points in the loss. Tommy Peay provided 3 points and Dakota Nickell hit 2.

“We forgot to come out of the locker room after halftime,” said Coach Mills. “We just couldn’t get going.”

The loss drops Allen to 7-3 on the season. Of the losses, one came at No. 1 Weleetka and the other two were at the hands of the Stonewall Longhorns.

Looking ahead, Allen will open play Thursday afternoon in the an-nual Moss Invitational Basketball Tournament.

“We’ll play Kiowa in our first game at Moss,” said Coach Mills. “Moss is the No. 1 seed team in the tournament. Stuart is No. 2. It’s a pretty good field. Stonewall is another impressive team in the field.”

The weather has just about worn itself out as a topic for opening sentences, but we are so thankful for the rain we re-ceived last week and also for the rain we hope to receive this week. Makes you want to take your freshly washed car out and drive back and forth through mud puddles for the pure joy of it.

We have some church doin’s on the calendar that everyone is invited to join us for. You probably received a flyer in the mail about the after school program that begins here on January 16, 2013. We hope kindergarten through 6th grade children throughout the community can join us for Bible study, games--and food of course. Tutoring will also be available if and when it is needed.

January 12th is Youth Night Out at 6:00 P.M., and January 26th is Movie Night, also at 6:00 P.M. Tacos are on the menu for Movie Night, and I’m sure food and the church chariot are included in the Youth Night Out.

The first Sunday of the new year is a perfect time to renew our commitment to God. Our children talked about their New Year’s resolutions and how God has a plan for their lives. Jeremiah 29:11

Our special for the day,

“Whatever It Takes to Draw Closer to You, Lord”, was sung by Pam Cantrell.

Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from Genesis 28: 10-22. We must each awaken to an awareness of God. Jacob had a heritage of faith passed down to him from Abraham

and Isaac. His father and grandfather were men of great faith. It was now time for him to come to a personal faith. A heritage of faith is not enough. Someone else’s faith will not save us.

Jacob received promises from God in a dream. He did

not have the written Word to guide him. God spoke to him in a very real and personal way. Jacob had to decide whether or not to believe and receive the promises of God. He chose to believe God and follow.

Jacob is not bargaining with God for His blessings. He is recounting the promises and making a commitment to

God. He is trusting God to be with him and promising his unconditional faith. Jacob realizes that God deserves his worship.

It is easy to say that we are giving God our all. It is much more difficult to actually do it. If you do not have a home church we invite you to wor-ship with us.

RayLynn Karch and Torie Hammonds recited Matthew 1:24 and sang their theme song, “Jesus Loves Me,” to open the worship services this Sunday. It just goes to show that children have a special wisdom—when you think about it, “Jesus Loves Me” is the theme for every Christian. Tom Spillman continued this theme when he sang “If That Isn’t Love,” as the special music selection. Jake Hammonds and Wyatt Deaton accompanied him on their guitars.

Rev. Karch’s message was about the new covenant and began with Jeremiah 31:31-34. Both the old and the new covenants required blood sacrifice. However, the new covenant (for which Jesus sacrificed his blood) does not require us to keep laws and traditions. Instead God has made us with a special emp-tiness in our hearts that only He can fill, and He promised through Jeremiah that He will forgive our sins and remem-ber them no more.

In Jeremiah 32:38-41 God promised that He would give us one heart (Jesus) and one way (Jesus). This passage also speaks of fearing God. This kind of fear is respectful fear, the kind that children have for a loving father who loves them enough to insist that they do well and realize their potential.

In Romans we see the new covenant in action. Paul writes in chapter three that no one is righteous; in chap-ter six we see that everyone deserves death but through Jesus God gives us the gift of eternal life.

When we make Jesus Christ our Lord (yes that means He’s the boss of us) we will have salvation and eternal life. It also means that Jesus has al-ready kept all the command-ments of the old covenant for us.

Romans 10:9,10 tells us how to make Jesus the Lord of our life and sign on for this new and everlasting cov-enant: believe in Jesus with our heart (the very core of our being) and confess that belief with our mouth.

When we count our bless-ings, up near the top of our list should be the blessing that we live at a time when we are under the new covenant instead of the old one.

John Christian, Sheriff, discussed a $100.00 raise for K-9 handler depu-ties. He explained that during a class he learned that these handlers are re-quired to be recompensed for the extra duties. To comply with the Fair La or Standard Act, Christian negotiated $100.00 a month to be paid for the extra duties, which the deputies agreed to and signed affidavits stating so. Chris-tian computed that the supplement should be $300.00 to $400.00 a month, but that he has the option to negotiate with deputies if they agree. Payroll was approved with attached documentation on December 17, 2012.

Chad Letellier, Emergency Manage-ment, stated that radio upgrades for the Districts will be here the week after Christmas.

I think the writer may be a lit-tle confused when she equates “field peas” with black-eyed peas. At least she didn’t try to lump in crowder peas.

We kept a Nigerian couple (on a BSU program) through New Years once. She boiled black-eyes then ground them up and made patties to fry. She ad-mitted that back home she just bought black-eyed-pea “flour” and made the patties with it.

Jim MorseProsperity Starts With a

PeaBy JESSICA B. HARRIS

New York TimesDecember 29, 2010

At year’s end, people around the world indulge in food rituals to ensure good luck in the days ahead. In Spain, grapes eaten as the clock turns midnight — one for each chime — foretell whether the year will be sweet or sour. In Austria, the New Year’s table is decorated with marzipan pigs to celebrate wealth, progress and prosperity. Germans savor carp and place a few fish scales in their wal-lets for luck. And for African-

Americans and in the Southern United States, it’s all about black-eyed peas.

Not surprisingly, this Ameri-can tradition originated else-where, in this case in the forests and savannahs of West Africa. After being domesticated there 5,000 years ago, black-eyed peas made their way into the diets of people in virtually all parts of that continent. They then traveled to the Americas in the holds of slave ships as food for the enslaved. “Every-where African slaves arrived in substantial numbers, cowpeas followed,” wrote one historian, using one of several names the legume acquired. Today the peas are also eaten in Brazil, Central America and the Carib-bean.

In the United States, few foods are more connected with African-Americans and with the South. Before the early 1700s, black-eyed peas were observed growing in the Carolina colo-nies. As in Africa, they were often planted at the borders of the fields to help keep down weeds and enrich the soil; cattle

grazed on the stems and vines. These practices are at the origin of two of the peas’ alternative names: cowpeas and field peas. The peas, which were eaten by enslaved Africans and poorer whites, became one of the Caro-linas’ cash crops, exported to the Caribbean colonies before the Revolutionary War.

Like many other dishes of African inspiration, black-eyed peas made their way from the slave cabin to the master’s table; the 1824 edition of “The Virginia Housewife” by Mary Randolph includes a recipe for field peas. Randolph suggests shelling, boiling and draining the “young and newly gathered” peas, then mashing them into a cake and frying until lightly browned. The black-eyed pea cakes are served with a garnish of “thin bits of fried bacon.”

Of course, black-eyed peas find their most prominent ex-pression around New Year’s in the holiday’s signature dish: Hoppin’ John, a Carolina spe-cialty made with black-eyed peas and rice and seasoned with smoked pork. Again, though,

the peas and rice combina-tion reaches back beyond the Lowcountry to West Africa, where variants are eaten to this day. Senegal alone has three variations: thiebou kethiah, a black-eyed pea and rice stew with eggplant, pumpkin, okra and smoked fish; sinan kussak, a stew with smoked fish and prepared with red palm oil; and thiebou niebe, a stew seasoned with fish sauce that is closest to America’s Hoppin’ John.

Just as nobody is sure of the origin of the name Hoppin’ John, no one seems quite cer-tain why the dish has become associated with luck, or New Year’s. Some white Southern-ers claim that black-eyed peas saved families from starvation during the Union Army’s siege of Vicksburg in the Civil War. “The Encyclopedia of Jewish Food” suggests that it may come from Sephardic Jews, who included the peas in their Rosh Hashana menu as a sym-bol of fertility and prosperity.

For African-Americans, the connection between beans and fortune is surely complex. Per-

haps, because dried black-eyed peas can be germinated, having some extra on hand at the New Year guaranteed sustenance provided by a new crop of the fast-growing vines. The black-eyed pea and rice combination also forms a complete protein, offering all of the essential amino acids. During slavery, one ensured of such nourish-ment was lucky indeed.

Whatever the exact reason, black-eyed peas with rice form one corner of the African-American New Year’s culinary trinity: greens, beans and pig. The greens symbolize green-backs (or “folding money”) and may be collards, mustards or even cabbage. The pork is a remembrance of our enslaved forebears, who were given the less noble parts of the pig as food. But without the black-eyed pea, which journeyed from Africa to the New World, it just isn’t New Year’s — at least not a lucky one.
