Armstrong & McKinzie
Join Allen Police Force
Recently joining the Allen Police Force are Darrell Armstrong and Dwayne McKinzie.
Allen Police Chief Billy “Cowboy” Sanford added two officers
to the local force this past month, bringing the department to
full staff.
Joining Chief Sanford are deputies Darrel Armstrong and
Dwayne McKinzie. The two bring a wealth of experience to
the Allen community.
Armstrong and his girlfriend, Roberta Spain, have made the
move to Allen. Darrel has two children, Hannah Armstrong and
Christopher Logan Armstrong.
A 1990 graduate of Asher High School, he earned his bachelors’ degree in Criminal Justice at East Central University. He
worked for a number of years at CPN in Shawnee before taking
the position of Police Chief for the town of Sawyer. After two
years in that community he felt the need to return closer to his
roots and gladly accepted the Allen position.
McKinzie, a newlywed who exchanged vows with Pam Milner Gibbs on January 1st, has two daughters, Kasey and Katy
McKinzie.
Born and raised in the Ada area, he graduated from Vanoss
High School, and received his bachelors’ degree in Law Enforcement from East Central University. McKinzie continues
to make his home in Ada. Dwayne worked as a Probation and
Parole Officer for the Department of Corrections for 21 years
before retiring. He is pleased to come back to action with the
Allen Police Department.
The goal of Allen Police Force is to provide a safe environment
for the local citizens.
Felony Charges filed against Allen Man
Two charges were filed Monday,
January 13, 2014, against James
Byron (J.B.) Nelson, former Fire
Chief of Allen. Mr. Nelson appeared in court for his initial arraignment on Wednesday, January
15th, represented by Ada attorney
George Braly. He entered a “not
guilty” plea and was released on
his own recognizance since he
was not considered a flight risk.
He is scheduled to reappear in
court on Thursday, February 27th,
at 1:00 p.m., before Judge Steve
Kessinger.
The first charge, Larceny of
Auto, is a felony and carries a
punishment of imprisonment for 3
to 20 years, or fine in the amount
that is equal to three times the
value of the property taken, not
to exceed $500,000, or both fine
and imprisonment.
The second charge, Obstructing an Officer, is a misdemeanor
punishable by imprisonment up to
1 year in jail, up to a $500 fine, or
both.
The Probable Cause Affidavit,
filed by Special Agent Ricky
Rushing of the Investigative
Service Unit of the Oklahoma
Department of Agriculture, Food
and Forestry, states that in October of 2013 he (Rushing) was assigned a case from the Oklahoma
Forestry Department requesting
an investigation into the possible
embezzlement of a missing fire
truck which was owned by the

USDA Forest Service.
Rushing received three documents to start his investigation:
a physical inventory sheet showing the truck was last accounted
for in September of 2010 at the
Stonewall Fire Department; a letter from the Stonewall Fire Chief
stating the truck was transferred
to Allen 2½ to 3 years ago; and a
third document from J.B. Nelson
in 2011 stating that the truck was
returned to Southern Oklahoma
Development Association, an
office within the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food
and Forestry, Forestry Services
Division in Goldsby, Oklahoma.
Nelson documented in this Allen Fire Department letter that
Joe Letbetter, who was a fireman
with the Allen Fire Department,
took the truck to Goldsby at that
time but obtained no documentation of doing so. Chief Nelson
detailed the process this fireman
went through while he was there
dropping off the fire truck.
On November 6th, Agent Rushing met with Nelson in person.
During that meeting it was learned
that he was a 17 year veteran of
the local Fire Department and, as
of January 2012, had been promoted to the rank of Chief. J.B.
reiterated the same information
he had earlier documented as to
what had happened to the truck,
insisting that a Joe Letbetter was
last seen with the truck while returning it to the Forestry Department.
J.B. could not provide Agent
Rushing with any contact information for Joe Letbetter, claiming
that Letbetter had no personnel
file at the Allen Fire Department
but claiming Letbetter lived in
Allen with his wife and children.
J.B. claimed to have spoken to
Letbetter within the past couple
of months, via telephone, while
Letbetter was living in Missouri,
but did not remember the contact
phone number.
Chief Agent Jerry Flowers went
to the Forestry office in Goldsby
himself in an attempt to locate
the fire truck. The Forestry office
diligently documents every piece
of equipment that is returned to
their office by recording serial
numbers and photographing the
equipment. Flowers was unable to
verify this fire truck ever arriving
at that office.
On December 10, 2013, Agent
Rushing located a Joseph Ledbetter of Allen. J.B. was contacted
asking if this was the person in
question, J.B. replied, “No, it is
not, however this Joseph Ledbetter used to be on the fire department as well.” During the e-mail
conversation, Rushing asked J.B.
three times if the last name had
been misspelled and should be
Ledbetter instead Letbetter. J.B.
answered all other questions but
would not answer this question.
Agent Rushing thought the probability slim of both a Joe Letbetter
and a Joseph Ledbetter both living
in a small community such as Allen, and both to have been on the
Allen Volunteer Fire Department
at some point in the recent past.
Rushing thoroughly researched
in an attempt to locate a Joe or Joseph Letbetter, contacting several
local people including Pontotoc
County Sheriff John Christian,
Emergency Management Director Chad Letellier, and former the
Allen Fire Chief. None had ever

This Week In History...
1781 - Patriots under Brig. Gen. Daniel Morgan defeated a British
force under Lt. Col. Bnastre Tarleton at the Battle of Cowpens in South
Carolina, a crucial victory in the American Revolution.
Morgan was a rough-and-tumble fellow. As a young man in Virginia, he had worked as a wagoner, driving supplies to settlers west
of the Blue Ridge Mountains. During the French and Indian Ware,
while driving wagons for the British, he managed to offend a British
officer, who struck him with the flat of his sword. Morgan responded
by decking the officer and was sentenced to 500 lashes. In later years,
he liked to say that the British miscounted and gave him only 499, and
that they still owed him one.
During the Revolution, Morgan fought at Quebec and Saratoga.
In 1780, he headed south to help fight the British in the Carolina
backcountry.
Tarleton, a brilliant commander, was determined to destroy Morgan’s army. He once declared that “these miserable Americans must
be taught their places!” The Americans viewed Tarleton as a butcher
because his troops had been known to slaughter men who tried to
surrender.
When Morgan realized that Tarleton was on his trail, he sent word
to local militia: meet at the Cowpens, a frontier pasturing ground. The
night before the battle, “the Old Wagoner” moved among his troops,
bucking them up and showing them the whipping scars on his back.
By dawn he had perhaps 1,500 men carefully placed on the field.
Tarleton’s fearsome dragoons charged straight into a trap. The
Americans managed to surround the attackers, killing or capturing
most of Tarleton’s 1,050 men. Tarleton himself managed to escape.
But the battle was a staggering blow to the British – “a devil of a
whipping,” as Morgan put it – and helped turn the tide of war.

researchers monitored the heart
rates of 15 choral singers as they
hummed, sang, and chanted.
The singers’ pulses increased
and decreased together as the
music’s tempo changed, and
their heartbeats aligned when the
songs required them to breathe in
unison. “You are synchronizing
with other people, and harmonizing your hearts,” says study
author Björn Vickhoff. That could
explain why singing together
strengthens solidarity in groups
from football fans to work crews.
The controlled breathing that
singing demands also seems to
have a calming influence, achieving “the same effect as breathing
exercises in yoga.”
Pessimism can lead to a longer
life. German researchers asked
40,000 people ages 18 to 96 to
rate how happy they thought
they’d be in five years on a scale
of zero to 10. Checking in five
years later, they found that every point by which a person had
overestimated his or her future
well-being corresponded to a 10
percent higher likelihood of death
or disability within the study
period. “Pessimism about the
future may encourage people to
live more carefully, taking health
and safety precautions,” says
psychologist Frieder Lang.
Tylenol can help calm existential dread. To get volunteers
to mull their inevitable death,
researchers at the University of
British Columbia had them watch
scenes from the disturbing David
Lynch film Rabbits or write about
what they thought would happen
to their bodies when they died.
Those who were given Tylenol
beforehand were significantly less
upset by such depressing activities than those given a placebo.
The medicine’s main ingredient,
acetaminophen, seems to ease
angst, says study author Daniel
Randles, because “a similar neurological process is responsible”
for physical pain and emotional
distress.
Sunscreen can protect against
wrinkles. Australian researchers
found that fair-skinned volunteers
who applied SPF 15 lotion to their
head, neck, arms, and hands every
morning for four and a half years
showed 24 percent fewer signs
of aging than those who had not.
The benefits were the same for
middle-aged participants, those
with moderate skin damage, and
those with younger-looking skin.
Because ultraviolet rays damage
the collagen that gives skin its
plump, youthful appearance, it
makes sense that blocking those
rays would slow skin’s aging. “If
you don’t need a flashlight to see
outside, you need protection,”
says dermatologist Doris Day.
Reading fiction makes you a
nicer, more empathetic person.
Psychologists at the New School
for Social Research in New York
City asked people between the
ages of 18 and 75 to read an excerpt of literary fiction or popular
fiction or a nonfiction article and
then tested their ability to gauge
the emotions of people by looking at pictures of their faces. The
subjects who read literary works
scored much higher on the tests
than the other readers. Study
author Emanuele Castano says
that’s likely because literary fiction takes readers into other lives
and forces them to “reconstruct
the mind of the character” — an
ability that carries over into real
social situations.
Nostalgia can ward off loneliness and anxiety. Though often
triggered by isolation and challenging life changes, it offers
relief by bringing to mind “cherished experiences that assure us
we are valued people who have
meaningful lives,” says psychologist Clay Routledge of North
Dakota State University. Such
reminiscences are remarkably
similar across cultures, centering
on being with friends at weddings, holidays, and other special
moments. The ability to call up a
fond memory to maintain physiological comfort may even be an
evolutionary adaptation.

Thought For The Week...
NOTHING STANDS the test like solid character. You can handle
the blast (of adversity) like a steer in a blizzard. The ice may form on
your horns, but you keep standing against the wind and the howling,
raging storm because Christ is at work in your spirit. Character will
always win the day. As Horace Greeley wrote: “Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wing, and only character endures.”

2014 has arrived and it is time to look back at . . .
Some of the things they said were good for us!
Video games keep older minds sharp. Researchers asked volunteers
ages 60 to 85 to play a fast-paced video game that involved driving
while identifying signs. Participants’ skills were monitored at the
outset and after a month of playing three times a week. Not only did
their performance improve dramatically, but they also scored higher
afterward on tests of short-term memory and long-term focus. The
study “shows you can take older people who aren’t functioning well
and make them cognitively younger through this training,” says MIT
neuroscientist Earl Miller. “It’s a very big deal.”
Group singing can create a rewarding feeling of oneness. Swedish

felt, and found that Facebook visits directly correlated with negative emotions, such as depression
and loneliness. While Facebook
seems to fulfill “the basic human
need for social connection,” says
University of Michigan social
psychologist Ethan Kross, it can
actually undermine well-being.
Researchers speculate that because Facebook users tend to post
idealized versions of their lives,
many visitors who read those
pages feel their own lives pale in
comparison.
Time indoors can waken your
vision. A study found that 42 percent of people in the U.S. between
the ages of 12 and 54 have nearsightedness, or myopia, compared
with 25 percent 40 years ago.
Rates of the condition also seem
to be rising only among urban
kids, as opposed to rural children
who spend more time outdoors.
Myopia previously was thought
to be largely hereditary but “the
gene pool can’t change that much
in a generation,” sais Ian Morgan
of Australian National University.
Researchers believe that too much
time looking at books and computer screens without looking farther away, is damaging vision.
Marrying the wrong person
can increase your risk of major
depression. Researchers asked
more than 4,500 people between
the ages of 20 and 80 to rate how
supportive or critical their spouses
were of them, and then followed
up a decade later. Participants
were asked whether their spouses
could be relied on for help with
a serious problem, and how well
their partners understood them.
People with the most negative relationship were found to be more
than twice as likely to become
severely depressed over the study
period as people with the most
positive unions.
Tylenol can send you to the
hospital. An investigative report
found that its active ingredient,
acetaminophen, is the country’s
leading cause of acute liver failure. Some 78,000 Americans
visit the ER each year following
an overdose, and roughly 150
Americans die from it. The key
issue is “the narrow margin of
error” in dosage, says report author D. Christian Miller. While
acetaminophen is safe at recommended doses, exceeding them
over time – even by two Extra
Strength Tylenol tablets a day –

personal Blazer but never would
come to pickup the fire truck.
Nelson was asked several times
over a period of about a year to
come and get the truck but never
did. The mechanic felt that he had
no other option but to have the
truck taken to a scrap yard since
nobody would come take it from
his property.
On December 27, 2013, Agent
Rushing, along with Chief Agent
Jerry Flowers, met with Nelson
for a second interview. During
this interview, Nelson was again
read his Miranda Warning but
agreed to speak. He confessed to
obstructing the Agent’s investigation multiple times by lying to
him in person, via documentation,
and via phone conversations.
Nelson had lied about the existence of Joe Letbetter, about
how he obtained the fire truck
and about what really happened
to the parts of the fire truck.
Nelson confessed to stealing the
fire truck from the Stonewall
Fire Department by representing
himself to them as a fireman who
was obtaining the truck for the
Allen Fire Department. This was
a complete deception because he
had no intention of obtaining this
vehicle for the Allen Department,
but only for personal gain. J.B.
Nelson confirmed that he had no
authority to acquire the truck from
either the City of Allen or the current fire chief.
Nelson stated he personally
knew that this fire truck belonged
to the State of Oklahoma, and also
confirmed that he personally did
have a Blazer that was the same
year, being a 1985, as the fire
truck and both were of the GMC/
Chevrolet make.
Further, Nelson confirmed he
had a friend take the motor out of
the fire truck and replace it with
the engine from his Blazer. The
front and rear differential and
the transfer case from the fire
truck were also used on Nelson’s
Blazer. Nelson paid approximately $400 for this work and, a
couple of months after the work
was done, he sold the Blazer to
an unknown subject. He also
confirmed he did not go back to
pick up the fire truck but instead
left it there and has no actual
knowledge of what happened to
the fire truck after the mechanical
work was completed.
Nelson estimated the value of
the parts taken from the fire truck
was approximately $1,500.
Mike Lawler has been appointed interim Fire Chief.
Felony Charges are filed
heard of a Joe Letbetter. The Allen City Hall and Oklahoma Fire
Fighters Pension and Retirement
were also contacted and neither
had any documentation of a Joe
Letbetter.
Furthermore, the chief at the
time of the supposed transfer from
Stonewall to Allen, stated that
not only had he never heard of a
Joe Letbetter but also he had no
knowledge about ever receiving
the transfer of a fire truck from
Stonewall’s Fire Department to
the Allen Fire Department during
2011.
Agent Rushing again met with
J.B. Nelson at which time Nelson
confessed that he had been lying
all along about the existence of
Letbetter and all the information
he had been providing was totally
fictitious. He stated that he did
so because he thought no one
would ever look for the truck. He
explained that the fire truck was
taken to a local residence so that
the motor could be taken out and
put into his personal Blazer that
was also used as the emergency
management vehicle for the City
of Allen. The mechanic was paid
$400 by Nelson to do this work.
The fire truck was never picked
up by Nelson to be returned to the
Goldsby Forestry Office. Instead
it was left on the mechanic’s property and Nelson stated he did not
know what happened to the fire
truck.
J.B. Nelson was read his Miranda Warning and continued to
speak to Agent Rushing. He filled
out a Voluntary Statement and assured the Agent that everything he
has now told him was the truth.
On December 12th, Agent Rushing met with the mechanic and
learned that he did do some
mechanical work for J.B. Nelson
in about mid-year 2011. It was
explained that Nelson asked him
if he could swap out an engine
from a fire truck of his into his
personal Blazer, both being of the
same make and year.
Nelson delivered both vehicles
to the mechanic’s place of residence where the work was undertaken; he stated it took about
a month to do the mechanical
work. The front and rear differentials were taken off of the
fire truck and put onto Nelson’s
personal Blazer as well as the
motor. Nelson told the mechanic
that he himself could also take
parts off the fire truck for his
personal use. After the work was
done, Nelson did come to get his
can be risky, especially if mixed
with alcohol. Infants’ and children’s Tylenol can be especially
risky when administered incorrectly.
Energy drinks can send you
to the hospital, too. More than
20,000 people went to the ER in
2011 with anxiety, rapid heartbeat,
seizures, or heart attacks after
downing the highly caffeinated
beverages – more than twice the
number from four years earlier.
More than half the patients had
negative reactions to the drinks
alone, which include Monster,
Red Bull, and Rockstar, while
others experienced trouble after
combining them with alcohol or
prescription drugs, such as the
stimulants Adderall and Ritalin.
People “don’t realize the strength
of these things,” says spokesman for the American College of
Emergency Physicians.
Too little salt can cause stress to
the heart. Though the American
Heart Association recommends
1,500 milligrams per day or less,
a new report found that reducing
daily sodium intake below 2,300
milligrams can increase a person’s
risk of heart problems. In one
study of patients with congestive
heart failure, those who consume
1,800 milligrams of sodium daily
were twice as likely to die during
the study period as patients who
took in 2,700 milligrams. Salt
is know to raise blood pressure,
but researchers now see its role
as “more complicated,” says
researcher Michael H. Alderman
of the Albert Einstein College of
Medicine.
Too much salt can contribute to
autoimmune disease. Researchers noticed that frequent fast-food
eaters had above normal levels
of Th17 cells which attack the
body’s own tissues in diseases
such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Type 1 diabetes. When they tested salt’s effect
on the immune cells of mice, they
found that he more the animals
were exposed to it, the more Th17
cells they produced. Feeding a
high-salt diet to mice genetically
engineered to develop MS rapidly accelerated the course of the
disease. “If I had an autoimmune
disease,” says Yale immunobiologist David Hefler, “I would put
myself on a low-salt diet now.”
These lists change every year
but I always look forward to see-
ing them.

“The guy had more nerve than
you think,” my uncle replied. “He

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.

Services celebrating the life
of Douglas Harold “Doug” Hipfner were 2:00 p.m., Wednesday,
January 15 th , at Calvin First
Baptist Church, Calvin, Oklahoma. Burial will follow at Non
Cemetery under the direction of
MMS-Payne Funeral Home and
Cremation Service, Claremore,
Oklahoma. Doug passed away
on Saturday, January 11, 2014 at
the age of 84.
Born in Shaunavon, Saskatchawan, Canada on August 6, 1929
to Harold and Marie Hipfner, of
Minniapolis Minnesota, Doug
was reared and educated in Minnesota and California. When he
was 16 years old he left home
to join the Army and upon his
return he finished his schooling
and received his diploma. Doug
then joined the Air Force, was
a member of the Strategic Air
Command, and honorably served
his country for three more years.
While in the Air Force, he met
a beautiful young woman on a
train and they soon fell in love.
On April 3, 1953 Doug married
her, Norma Lee Hendrix, and
the couple was blessed with two
children.
After his duties with the Air
Force, the couple moved to Southgate, California and Doug began
a career with Sears. He worked
his way through the ranks with
the company, becoming an executive. He moved for Sears to
Chicago where the family lived
for about two years. Looking for
a little warmer climate, Doug was
transferred to Tulsa and worked
for Sears another five years before
he became his own boss. Being
able to do just about anything he
set his mind to, Doug became a
licensed plumber. He continued
a relationship with Sears, working
as a private contractor, installing
the appliances customers purchased. He also worked for D.Q.
Wise Trucking, Peterbuilt Trucks
and Deans R.V., all in Tulsa.
When he and Norma moved to
Non, Oklahoma they opened a
convenience store and ran it for
about 12 years. Not one for sitting around, Doug was always
busy with work or a project. He
finished his working career last
year with Big Five Community
Service as a driver.
Doug’s hobbies included woodworking, hunting and fishing.
Being well versed in all trades,
he was the one you wanted to
have around to help you fix any
problem you might have. Doug
began riding motor cycles later
in life and joined the Dog Creek
Hills Chapter of the Southern
Cruisers.
A kind and compassionate
man, Doug embraced life and
all it had to give. He made the
most of his time on Earth and was
prepared to begin his eternal life
in Heaven. He was a devout and
proud Christian.
A wonderful husband, father,
grandfather and friend, Doug
will be missed by those whose
lives’ he touched. His family
members that survive include
his children Sharon Farrell and
husband Dennis of Claremore,
and Richard Hipfner and wife
Annie of Tulsa; his grandchildren
Debra Thompson and husband
Eric of Seaside, California, Greg
Giesecke and wife Lindsey of
Dallas, Texas, Andrea Pautsch
and husband Alan of St. Louis,
Missouri, Kyle Hipfner of Tulsa,
David Farrell of California, Andy
Farrell and wife Mary of Poland, Jennie Vukic Garcia, Adam
Vaughn and Matthew Vaughn all
of Tulsa; his great-grandchildren
Ethan, Isaac and Elliot Thompson, Henry, Lucy and Charlie
Pausch, Tobin and Alexandria
Farrell and Reagan Schoenholz;
his brother Michael Scott and
wife Annie; sister-in-law Vonnie
Hipfner; brothers-in-law Vernis
Hendrix and wife Norma, and
Charles Hendrix and wife Janet;
sister-in-law Lou Fox.
Doug was preceded in death by
his parents; wife Norma; brother
Gary Hipfner; and brother-in-law
Charles Fox.
THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JANUARY 16, 2014--PAGE 5
One Pharmacist’s View
Sometimes I see women
wearing a T shirt with this logo
on the front: “If I had known
grandkids were so much fun
I would have had them first.”
Maybe that’s what gave a Los
Angeles woman from Peru a big
idea. She is pregnant with her
own granddaughter. I’m not
very good on figuring out stuff
like that but it sounds more like
a riddle or maybe a western
song. But I (as a grandpa)
do have some thoughts and
questions. First, how and why
did this ever come about?
It seems this particular
grandmother’s daughter has
had trouble carrying her
pregnancies to term, so like
a “good” mama is apt to do,
she said: “Let me do that for
you—I know how.” Well,
at least something like that.
She had someone (a doctor I
presume) implant a fertilized
egg from her daughter and
presto! She was suddenly
not only 58 years old, she
was pregnant. I suppose one
could now say; “so far, so
good.” Let’s say the baby is
born without further problems.
No more worries? I hardly
think so.
The toughest part may lie
ahead. What do you do when
grandma decides to take the
baby home and try to get it up
to 6 weeks old and perhaps a
little easier to care for. Maybe
a lawyer should write up a few
paragraphs about “granny”
rights and “mama” rights.
What if the baby has something
wrong with it and the younger
would-be mama decides to try
I’ll be your Mama and Your Grandma
again and let grandma just keep
it. Suppose the baby grows up
to be a bad child? Take it back
to grandma? And how old does
it have to be before you can’t?
You know I’m starting to like
this idea better all the time.
I can see that it would
have been a lot easier for my
wife and me to have availed
ourselves of this service but I
didn’t think of it in time. My
wife and I worked together
in the family drug store all
those years and when she was
pregnant it really slowed her
down and made it hard on
both of us. The grandmothers
could have taken turns and
we wouldn’t have had to go
through all that fuss and bother.
But like I said—I simply didn’t
know that option was there.
I know it would have made
very interesting conversation
around the Thanksgiving
Dinner Table had we done
this. The term “our babies”
would have taken on a totally
different meaning.
Getting back to our
Los Angeles-Peruvian
grandmother/mother: There
are 5 more embryos frozen and
waiting their turn in the freezer.
Will they be used? Or perhaps
just shoved way back and lost
like an old dish of secondhand
veggies—perhaps freezer burn
becoming an issue. I just
wonder how much that 58 year
old mama would want more
grandkids on this “grandkids
the hard way plan.” And
again I get to wondering—just
Light from God’s
Word
Mark Legg,
Allen church of Christ
A boy told his father, “Dad,
if three frogs were sitting on a
limb that hung over a pool, and
one frog decided to jump off
into the pool, how many frogs
would be left on the limb?”
The dad replied, “Two.”
“No,” the son replied. “There
are three frogs and one decides
to jump, how many are left?”
The dad said, “Oh, I get
it, if one decides to jump,
the others would also jump.
So there are none left.”
The boy said, “No dad, the
answer is three. The frog only
DECIDED to jump.”
How often do we, like the
frog, decide to make changes
for our growth and good, but
never carry through with the
decisions we make? We might
have great inspiration and
make great resolutions, but
often times we only decide,
and months later we are still on
the same limb of “do-nothing.”
We might recognize our need
to draw closer to God and do
His will. Maybe we know God
had commanded certain things
– like assembling with Christians for worship and Bible
study – and we might decide to
start doing so. Of course that
would be a great and glorious
decision, but if we do not carry
out that decision, what benefit
is it? Did you know that when
we know what God wants us to
do and we do not do it, we sin!
Read James 4:17.
God’s word says, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers
only, deceiving yourselves.
For if anyone is a hearer of the
word and not a doer, he is like a
man observing his natural face
in a mirror; for he observes
himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind
of man he was. But he who
looks into the perfect law of
liberty and continues in it, and
is not a forgetful hearer but a
doer of the work, this one will
be blessed in what he does.”
(James 1:22-25) How about
getting off the limb of “donothing” and obey God?

Allen split the four games
with wins in the first two outing
and losses in the last two. In
reflecting on the Mustangs, he
is pleased with the progress but
expects to see a more polished
team in the coming weeks.
“First of all, we have been
playing some really quality
people and good teams,” the
longtime Allen coach said. “We
are growing up as the season
comes along. We are figuring
out how to play. What we need
to do is find some more scoring
somewhere. We’ve got to keep
working and get more consistent
on things offensively and
defensively. The competition (we
will face) is going to continue
to keep getting tougher. That is
what we are looking to do. The
main thing for this team is to be
playing our best at the right time
of the year. That is still a ways
off for us and every other team
around here.”

Tuesday to battle the Cowboys.
On Thursday, the Mustangs will
be at home to host the Hartshorne
Miners.
Last week, Allen opened
a busy week on Tuesday. The
Mustangs scored a 51-40 victory
over the visiting Tupelo Tigers.
Both teams scored 12 points
in the first quarter. Allen then
outscored the Tigers 15-11 to
take a 27-23 edge going into
halftime. After the break, both
teams dropped in 8 points in the
third quarter. The result was a
narrow 35-31 advantage heading
into the final period. With the
game hanging in the balance,
Allen outscored the visitors 16-9
to pull away to a 51-40 victory.
Three
Mustang
players
scored in double digits to fuel
the win. Joseph Hopper was tops
with 14 points. Zayne Erickson
was second on the team with 12
points. Ty Brown was next with
10 points.
Tommy Peay dropped in 7
points to lead the other scorers.
Dakota Nickell finished with
4 points while Drew Back and
Dalton James generated 2 points
each.
On
Thursday,
Allen
opened play in the three-day
Moss Invitational basketball
tournament. The Mustangs
turned back the Moss Pirates 4744 in a very competitive game.
Moss led 15-12 at the close
of the first quarter. The Pirates
extended the advantage to 26-22
going into intermission.
Allen then rallied in the
third quarter to erase the deficit
and slipped into the lead. The
Mustangs outscored Moss 12-3
over the eight-minute period. The
effort pushed AHS on top 34-29.
Moss then outscored Allen 1513 to close the final margin to
only 3 points (47-44) at the final
buzzer.
The duo of Joseph Hopper and
Ty Brown powered the narrow
victory. Hopper muscled inside
for 13 points to lead the way.
Brown was one point back with a
dozen. The balanced attack also
included Dalton James with 8
points, Drew Back with 6, Zayne
Erickson with 4, and Dakota
Nickell and Tommy Peay with 2
points.
“It was a close game but we
were ahead by 6 points,” said
Coach Mills. “Moss hit a 3 (a
trey) at the buzzer to get it so
close at the end.”
On Friday, Allen squared
off with the Roff Tigers in the
tournament semi-finals. The
outcome was not what the
Mustang fans were hoping to
see. Roff ran away with a 63-33
victory.
Allen fell behind 17-2 after
one quarter and 30-10 at the
half. Roff then closed the deal by
outscored the Mustangs 17-14 in
a team-high 12 points. He was
the lone AHS scorer to land in
double figures. Dalton James
was next with 7 points while Ty
Brown generated 5. Drew Back
chipped in 3 points in the loss.
Shawn Rolen, Colby Eaker and
Wyatt Corum scored 2 points
each to round out the list.
The loss to Roff dropped
Allen into Saturday’s third place
showcase with the Stonewall
Longhorns. The Mustangs were
down 18-7 in the first quarter.
AHS then staged a rally to close
the deficit to 25-23 going into the
half-time break.
Stonewall responded with
a stronger second half. The
Longhorns
outscored
the
Mustangs 12-7 in the third period
and 18-8 in the fourth. The final
deficit for Allen was 21 points at
59-38.
Allen’s top scorer in the loss
was Ty Brown with 13 points.
Joseph Hopper and Tommy Peay
scored 8 points each to share
second place on the chart. Zayne
Erickson followed with 5 points.
Dakota Nickell added the final 4
points for the Mustangs.

Lady Mustangs earn fourth place in tournament
Allen girls defeat Stonewall in first round before falling to Kiowa and Roff
By HERMAN BROWN
Allen correspondent
The Allen Lady Mustangs
finished in fourth place
last weekend in the Moss
Invitational
basketball
tournament.
Coach Jeremy Strong’s AHS
girls defeated the Stonewall
Lady Longhorns on Thursday
in first round action. However,
the Lady Mustangs then
suffered back to back losses to
the Kiowa Cowgirls on Friday
and the Roff Lady Tigers on
Saturday.
Considering the outstanding
field of opponents, a fourthplace finish was a solid
achievement.
Prior to the tournament,
Allen played a regular-season
game. The Lady Mustangs
hosted the Tupelo Lady Tigers
and scored a 23-point victory
over the visitors.
Allen took a 9-8 lead in
the first quarter and turned it
into a 24-13 halftime edge.
The Lady Mustangs used the
second half to pad the lead.
AHS outscored the Lady
Tigers 11-6 in the third period
to extend the lead to 35-19.
They finished off the one-sided
victory by outscoring Tupelo
18-11 down the stretch. The
combined effort raised the
final score to 53-30.
Sondra Rowsey was the
top scorer for Allen with a
12-point showing. Charlea
Leonard was next on the team
with 11 points. Miranda Raney
just missed double figures in
scoring with 9 points. Alison
Sells was next with 8 points.
Other scoring included Alycia
Evans with 5 points, Faith
Caldwell with 4, Emily Nelson
with 3 and Hannah Heck with
1.
On Thursday, Coach Strong
was ready to lead the Allen
girls into the first game of the
Moss tournament. The Lady
Mustangs responded with a
double-digit victory over the
Stonewall Lady Longhorns.
The game was a bit up and
down for both teams. Allen
led 12-8 in the first quarter
only to see Stonewall rally to
a 20-16 halftime edge.
Allen outscored the Lady
Longhorns 10-8 in the third
stanza to close the deficit to
28-26.
As the fourth quarter opened,
the game was very much on
the line. Allen responded by
outscoring SHS 14-2 down the
stretch. By the final buzzer, the
Lady Mustangs were sitting
on a 40-30 lead.
The offensive production
was very balanced in the
Allen win. Hannah Heck led
seven scorers with a total of 9
points. Sondra Rowsey added
8 points while Miranda Raney
provided 7. Kennedy Prentice
and Charlea Leonard tallied 6
points each while Alison Sells
and Alycia Evans scored 2
points each.
The 10-point win for
Allen sent AHS on into
the tournament semi-finals
on Friday. Awaiting the
Lady Mustangs were the
tournament’s
top-seeded
Kiowa Cowgirls.
Kiowa proved the ranking
was warranted. The Cowgirls
rocketed away to a 24-4
lead in the first quarter. KHS
expanded the advantage
over Allen to 37-9 after two
quarters and 54-25 after three.
The Lady Mustangs managed
a slight 8-4 edge down the
stretch, but ended up on the
short side of a 58-33 final
verdict.
Six Allen girls generated
scoring in the contest. Hannah
Heck dropped in 9 points to
top her teammates. Miranda
Raney and Sondra Rowsey
followed with 6 points. Alison
Sells scored 5 points, Kennedy
Prentice tallied 4 and Charlea
Leonard finished with 3.
The loss to Kiowa dropped
Allen into the third-place
game against the Roff Lady
Tigers.
Allen faced the Roff girls in
a Saturday afternoon contest
that was won 57-38 by the
Lady Tigers.
Most of the damage was
done by Roff in the first half.
Allen fell behind 23-12 in the
first quarter and trailed 35-19
at the half.
The Lady Mustangs outscored RHS 15-11 in the third
quarter to close the gap to 4634. Roff rebounded to outscore
Allen 11-4 over the final eight
minutes. The effort sealed
a 57-38 win over the Lady
Mustangs.
Miranda Raney finished the
game with 13 points to top Allen in scoring. Sondra Rowsey
was second on the team with 7
points. Kennedy Prentice finished with 5 points while Charlea Leonard and Faith Caldwell
tossed in 4 points each. Alison
Sells generated 3 points and
Alycia Evans rounded out the
team with 2 points.
Coach Strong said the losses
on Friday and Saturday make
something obvious to the Lady
Mustangs.
“We’ve just got to continue
to get better,” he said. “We
have to take care of the basketball and have better shot
selection. On the positive side,
I don’t think we gave up in
either game. We kept fighting
and didn’t just pack it in. We
were overwhelmed early and it
was too hard for us to get out
of that hole. It also took a long
time to calm down and play our
regular basketball. We’ll work
on all of this and see where we
can go from here.”

James Morse Publishes Long Awaited Book
I have ever known.
“Several years ago I asked
him if he would write his memories about his parents, who
were killed in a tragic accident.
He was kind enough to do so
and we published his memories
in our local newspaper.
“In over thirty years of being
a publisher I have never seen
a column that drew so much
positive response. In fact, we
sold out of newspapers.
“I later asked Jim if he might
write additional columns for
our newspaper. He agreed to do
so. Whenever he has a column,
we print extra newspapers.
“I am so thankful he has
decided to publish a book of
his memories. It is written by
a special man, about special
times. As you read it, you
will laugh at times and cry at
times.
“Be prepared, once you start
reading it, you will not want to
put it down.”
The book is available at
The Allen Advocate. In
store price is $12 or $15
mailed.

Dr. James Morse and Robinson Publishing Company are
proud to announce the release
of his latest book, Growing Up
With Real People.
“Halloween Day 1941 was
the worst day of my life. Of
course, I had no idea the
day would turn out that way
when, as usual, I got up at five
o’clock to deliver newspapers.
It seemed like any other
late October morning—not
cold enough yet to go into
winter long underwear but
uncomfortably cool when
coasting downhill on a
bicycle.........
.......The first inkling I had
that something was going to
be different about that day
came as I was getting on my
bicycle. Chig Brown, an old
friend of my father’s, drove
up in the darkness and called
out, “Don’t go anywhere yet,
Jimmy. George is coming to
see you.””
GROWING UP WITH
REAL PEOPLE is a collection of stories written by
Dr. James O. Morse about
the events surrounding
his life while growing up
in Calvin, Oklahoma. It is
filled with many memories some heartwarming - others
heartbreaking.
James Morse is a retired
physician who has worked as
an Army doctor, a medical missionary, and a medical school
professor. He currently resides
in Starkville, Mississippi with
his wife Alfalene. You can find
him on Facebook at http://facebook.com/james.o.morse.1.

Sunday was a warm but windy
day to worship the Lord. Hopefully this beautiful weather will
stay around for a few days. The
children made paper snowmen
and studied how Jesus washes our
sins whiter than snow. The lesson
called for a snowball fight but
thankfully that didn’t happen.
Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken
from Matthew 6:5-15 and entitled “And When you Pray.” It
is assumed that Christians will
pray. Jesus speaks of “when”
we pray. Prayer is such a vital
part of the Christian experience
that there is no need to argue for
it. As Christians, we are to pray.
We often find Jesus in prayer. If
prayer was important to Him, it is
equally so for us.
Not everything labeled prayer
is prayer. True prayer is always
addressed to God. Prayer designed to impress people is an
abomination to God. Prayer is
something that comes from the
heart, not the mouth. Remember
that God knows what you need
before you pray.
Pre-K Students of the Week
Prayer is fellowship with God.
The focus of prayer is God. We
tend to focus upon ourselves,
and how God can help us. The
purpose for prayer is to make us
more godly. We need His help to
battle life’s many temptations. As
we spend time with God , we will
become more like him.
Prayer leads us to forgiveness.
Part of becoming more godly is
learning to forgive. Every single
one of us has been hurt by someone. We tend to carry a grudge.
In the end, those grudges take
their toll on us; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Our admonition is to forgive. We cannot be
forgiven if we fail to forgive.

THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JANUARY 16, 2014--PAGE 11
Sanders Christmas Vacation birthdays & anniversaries
For years, the Sanders family
has had Christmas at home where
they expected cold weather, gifts,
and great food to share with family and friends. This year they
decided to skip the cold weather
and try something different . . . A
trip to Jamaica.
Those going were Will and
Carly Warrick and children Gunner, Maci and Eli, Will’s mother
Katy Warrick, along with Tommy
and Carolyn Sanders and Sydney
Payne of Allen.
Arriving at Will Rogers World
Airport in Oklahoma City in the
“middle of the night” to fly out to
Montego Bay at 6:00 am, excitement fizzled as they sat for six
hours waiting for fog to lift.
The vacationers were sent to
Dallas for more delays, then to
Miami, Florida where all nine arrived with no luggage. The airline
had “lost” it but graciously gave
each a 5” blue bag called a “courtesy bag” and rooms at a Hilton
Hotel. Around 1:00 am everyone
was so hungry, they braved a two
block walk to a McDonald’s ad-
Jamaica
vertising “Open 24 Hours.” Of
course, all that was open was the
drive-thru, so they walked thru
the drive-thru, laughing all the
way.
At 5:00 am they boarded a
plane and finally got to Montego
Bay where they were patted
down, pulled aside and made to
wait until Tommy was cleared.
He just naturally makes buzzers
go off!
Taken by bus to their 22-acre
resort on Ocho Rio for their eight
day stay, they passed thru beautiful scenery. The sea was a beautiful blue with a water temperature
of 70º, and the sand was pure
white. The weather is a constant
88º. While there the vacationers
swam in the ocean every day. The
water is very salty which allowed
them to float without trying.
Banana trees on the island live
only nine months, then die back
and are replaced by a new plant.
Local children start school at age
2 or 3 and all have to wear uniforms. Islanders don’t have food
Tommy Sanders took full advantage of the sun and fun
during his Christmas vacation. And you just gotta love the
hat!
Not everyone spent their vacation with Sesame’s Street
Zoe, but cousins Maci Warrick and Sydney Payne enjoyed
a visit with her at their Jamaican resort.

Their time was enjoyed by
riding the Rainforest Skylift, a
state-of-the-art chairlift that sends
riders soaring above the treetops
to the peak of Mystic Mountain.
The descent carries you thru the
canopy so you can see the wonders of the tropical seaside forest.
At the top of the mountain they
took a bobsled ride, zooming 200
mph thru the tropical landscape.
It was reported to be fun and
beautiful at the same time.
Next they did a Zipline-Canopy
Tour. This also was reported to
be great fun but very fast. It had
five levels (stops) from the top
of the mountain down, then a 75foot drop straight down. No time
to scream because your stomach
is in your throat by the time you
stop – it was breathtaking!
They report that the beauty of
the rain forest is amazing and the
people, too, are beautiful and very
kind. The travelers also visited
Fern Gully, a riverbed that years
ago was changed by a hurricane
and now has ferns and flowers up
to hundreds of feet high.
They were also taken to a
mountain top where they jumped
off a 60-foot cliff into a large river, then swam under a waterfall to
a cave where they saw hundreds
of stalactites. The 4-year old,
wearing his lifejacket, jumped in
and when he came up, yelled, “I
love ya, Maka.” Grandkids are
wonderful.
They enjoyed boating, a glassbottom boat ride, snorkeling and
shows on the resort stage each
night. Entertainment was geared
for kids with Big Bird from
Sesame Street, and for adults with
fire twirlers, dancers and singers.
Will and Carly took out a huge
water tricycle and sure were ready
to get back to shore, they said they
were on vacation and didn’t want
to work that hard.
Butterflies on the island were 5
to 6 inches across. The resort had
seven restaurants to choose from
but by day four, Tommy said he
would give $20 for a can of soup.
Breakfast included fish, lunch had
more fish, and supper was fish!
The island’s biggest exports are
coffee, aluminum ore, cattle and
rum. All the cars drive on the
left side with steering wheels on
the right. Their coffee is strong
enough to walk – you can made
four cups out of one! Gas was
$14.07 a liter with attendants on
all pumps. It rains every day and
that’s why the forest is so lush.
The Sanders family enjoyed being with each other and had lots
of fun. The trip ended with a bus
ride back to Montego Bay, a plane
ride to O’Hare Airport, Chicago,
then on to OKC. It was good to
be on American soil even if they
left 88º weather and arrived back
to -8º. It was even better to be
home in Allen and feel safe. We
are so fortunate for our freedoms
and all that United States has to
offer – even though it doesn’t
come without sacrifice.
Thru all the adventures and fun
with the family, the Sanders state
that it was best when they arrived back home and saw friends’
smiling faces, Dave’s Diner, their
church family, and the Allen community.
