Alden, Kelly, Rebecca and Kathryn Kidwell traveled to San Antonio, Texas recently to attend Brooke Kidwell’s Sep-tember 21st graduation from the US Air Force basic training program. Also making the trip were her grandparents, Loy and Janice Kidwell of Ada, and Della Hulsey of Pampa, Texas; aunt and uncle Davine and Ben Vernon of Pampa, Texas; and Morgan Beavert, Allen.

Brooke served as Element Leader for her unit. She scored among the top four females in PT Training for her fl ight and

was in the top eight of 660+ male and female airmen can-didates during basic training. Brooke also participated in the Airman’s Run, and the Flight Band playing baritone for the marching band.

She is now stationed to the

Arrow Space Medical Tech School at Ft. Sam Houston, San Antonio, for specialized training in her chosen fi eld. During their visit in San Anto-nio, the Kidwells enjoyed tour-ing the River Walk area and several other famous sights.

Dr. Tim Costner of the Allen Vet Clinic has announced his Fall Rabies Clinic will be held next Thursday, October 11th, from 8 am to 12 noon, and from 1 to 5 pm. Vaccinations are $8.50 per animal.

See you downtown at 9:00 am this Saturday, October 6th, to clean the Homecoming pa-rade route and all of downtown. Bring your mowers, trimmers, rakes and work gloves.

You help is appreciated.

Aiden Jessop would like to announce the arrival of his baby sister, Juliette Raelynn Jessop. Jules was welcomed into the world by family and friends on August 25, 2012 at 9:32 pm at Integris Baptist in Oklahoma City. Weighing in at 6lbs 14oz and 20 1/2 inches, her big brother believes she is a perfect catch. Juliette is the daughter of Theron and LeRhonda Jessop of Oklahoma City, granddaughter of Wayne and Nanette Lee of Coalgate and Dr. Brad and Kristie Jessop of Sulphur. Her great-grandparents include Jarel and Wanda Sanders of Allen, Billie Pearl and the late Eugene Lee of Coalgate, Frank and Carol Jessop of Rolla, Missouri and the late Ray and Mary Brown of Ottawa, Kansas; she is great-great-granddaughter of Ms. Mary Clifford of Ada, and the niece of Brian, Kevin and Parker Lee of Coalgate.

What do the names Charles, David, Joseph, Michael and Rob-ert have in common? Actually there are two things. First, they are fi ve of the top most common male fi rst names in the United States; secondly, none of the 43 men who have president has borne one of them as a fi rst name (although David was Dwight Eisenhower’s middle name). We had had presidents, however, with such uncommon fi rst names as Warren, Zachary, Chester and Lyndon. We have even had presidents with even more rarefi ed fi rst names, such as Millard and Rutherford. We have had two –presidents with the uncommon fi rst name Franklin but none with the far more common Frank. And we have had one with a fi rst name Harry, that is only common as a nickname. The candidate elected in November will continue the tradition of odd fi rst names, either Barack or Mitt. If Mr. Romney is elected he will be the fourth president to have shed a fi rst name – in his case, the uncommon Willard – and used his middle name instead. The others were Stephen Grover Cleveland, Thomas Woodrow Wilson, and John Calvin Coolidge. To be sure, we’ve elected some commanders in chief with common names. There have been six presidents named James (Madison, Monroe, Polk, Buchanan, Garfield and Carter). Four have been named William (Harrison, McKinley, Taft and Clinton) and four named John (Adams, father and son, Tyler and Kennedy). There have been three Georges (Washington and the two Bushes), and two Andrews (Jackson and Johnson). But more than half of the presidents (22 in all) have borne presidentially unique fi rst names. That’s odd given that only since World War II have we had some presidents (Eisenhower, Kennedy and Obama), who were not of primarily British or Dutch ancestry. Two presidents have had not one uncommon fi rst name but two. Grant was born Hiram Ulysses Grant. But when he was appointed to West Point a bureaucratic snafu, which he never bothered to straighten out, listed him as Ulysses S. grant, the S being short for his mother’s maiden name, Simpson. (It is speculated that Grant rather liked the sound of U.S. Grant, and he was known at West Point as Sam, for Uncle Sam.) Gerald Ford was born Leslie King, for his father, but was given his step-father’s name after his mother remarried when he was 3. What accounts for the odd distribution of presidential fi rst names? We could compare them to monarchs, but since monarchs are usually related by blood, and families are likely to repeat names, that doesn’t work. Only two kings of England since the Norman Conquest, Stephen (1135-54) and John (1199-1216) – both disastrously bad monarchs – never had another eponymous king on the throne.

What about vice presidents? We’ve had 47, including fi ve Johns, three Thomases, three Georges, two Daniels, three Rich-ards, two Williams, two Henrys and three Charleses. There’s on Joseph (the incumbent), but still no David, Michael or Robert. In 1984, we had a candidate named Geraldine Ferarro), a fi rst in American politics. Like our presidents, more than half (24) of our vice presidents have borne a singular fi rst name, including such unusual ones as Elbridge, Adlai, Hubert and Garret. Among the unique vice-presidential names are Hannibal, Schuyler, Levi

and Alben. What about candidates who

never quite made it to the White House? Beginning in 1856, with the emergence of the modern two parties, 30 candidates of major parties have lost presidential elec-tions. Four were named John, two were named Alfred (both invariably known by their nicknames, Al Smith and Alf Landon), two were named William and two James. We also have had a Michael (Du-kakis) and a Robert (Dole). But we have had as well a Horatio, a Horace, an Alton, a Wendell and a Barry – which, like Harry, is an uncommon proper name but a common nickname (just ask Barack).

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that men with unusual fi rst names are more likely to make it big in American politics, perhaps because their names, being distinctive, are more easily remembered. So if you want your son or daughter to reach the top of American govern-ment, or even come close, give him or her an unusual name. And for heaven’s sake, don’t name him David. It’s the sixth most common name in the country, but no U.S. president or vice president has ever had it as a fi rst name. You’d be better off trying Bu-ford or Clementine instead.

—CC— Speaking of names, I enjoyed

the following story shared by Mandy Benjamin.

When he was very young, my son was often mistaken for a girl. One day in the park, an elderly woman asked me what his name was.

“James,” I replied. “Jane?” she asked. “No, James.” “Julie?” “No, James!” I shouted. “Oh, James,” she said. “Fun-

ny name for a girl.”—CC—

My aunt, Zula Abernathy, had five siblings. Although

there were no twins, their parents named them Hoy and Troy, Waltzey and Daltzey, and Zula and Beulah.

Unusual names are found not only in people but also in Oklahoma towns. There is a Chickiechockie in Atoka County, Slapout in Beaver County, and Whizbank in Osage County. These are just a few of the many town names listed in George Shirk’s book, “Oklahoma Place Names.”

I especially enjoyed how Slapout got its name. It seems that often, when a customer would come in to buy a certain item, the owner of the general

story would say, “I am slapout of that.”

History has always fasci-nated me, especially Oklahoma history.

—CC— And last of all, my favorite

story of the week. Names have been omitted . . .

A cute little four-year-old girl climbed on her grandfather’s lap, looked up at him and said, “Grandpa, can you croak like a frog?”

“Why do you ask?” her grandpa said.

The granddaughter replied, “Mama said when you croak we are all going to Disney-land.”

Pre-K Student of the Week is Taylor Ranae Batey. Taylor was born February 29, 2008 in the Norman Regional Hospital. Her family is his daddy Ron Batey, momma Jill Batey, and sissy Cameron Batey.

Taylor’s favorite book is “Llama Llama Red Pajama”; her favorite food is peanut butter and jelly. Her pets are a kitten named Katy and a puppy, Coco; her friends are Emma and Hunter.

Taylor likes to color, watch Dr. Poll, and go fishing with her daddy. Someday she wants to go to the ocean. She is ex-cited about mommy’s baby in her belly.

Pre-K Student of the Week is Skylie Karalyn Benson. Skylie was born June 6, 2008 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her family includes her little sister Stormy, her Mommy, her Nana and Papa, her “Doe Doe” and her “Kay Kay” Skylie says she loves them “oh, so much.”

Skylie’s favorite book is “Disney Princess Stories”; her favorite food is chicken noodle soup. Her pet friend is her Nana’s dog named Hooch; her human friends are Allen, Weston, Addison, Braydon, Alyssa, Mallory, Jessica and everybody!

Skylie likes story time and playing. Someday she wants to be a doctor “so I can get babies out of mommy’s tummies.” She is excited about going to school and taking field trips.

Pre-K Students of the Week

The Calvin School will be holding their Fall Festival tonight, Thursday, October 4th, from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.

The event will be held in the old gym and promises fun for the

whole family.

Calvin Fall Festival Tonight!!

Next Sunday, October 7th, is the day the men prepare the October First Sunday Break-fast. Serving time has been moved up to 9:00 so get there while the biscuits are still hot. Sunday School begins at 10:00, and the worship service begins at 11:00 so come for breakfast and stay until noon.

Zoey McDonald and Torie Hammonds opened the worship service this Sunday by reading the Ten Commandments and singing “Jesus Loves Me.” Children so have the voice of truth.

We really enjoyed having Linda Cranfield as our guest pianist, and it was good to have Kelly Wilkerson back on trumpet. Tom Spillman, Wyatt Deaton, and James Hammonds brought the special music se-lection. Their choice was “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.”

Rev. Karch’s message was from John 3:1-8;14-18, and it was titled “Ye Must Be Born Again.”

Nicodemus came to Jesus be-cause he recognized that there was something special about Him. Jesus told him that the

truth is that he can’t enter the Kingdom of God unless he has been born again. Nicodemus then asked how that is possible, the same question that people are still asking today.

John the Baptist had been baptizing people for the remis-sion of sins. Jesus said that al-though they had been baptized by John, they also needed to have the Spirit of God within them.

He explained that, like the bronze serpent that was lifted up to protect the Children of Israel from deadly serpent bites, the Son of God must also be lifted up. Only those who looked up to see the bronze serpent were saved from death, and only those who lift up their eyes to Jesus can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

When we are born of the Spirit, or born again, we try to do right--not because we will suffer the consequences if we don’t, but because we want to do what Jesus wants us to do.

We cannot see wind, and we cannot see the Spirit. We can, however, see the results of both. At the point we when first begin to sin we become our own worst enemy. We don’t have to earn our way into hell, and those who won’t look up to Jesus lifted up on the cross are already on their way to hell at breakneck speed.

That is why Jesus came to us. God did not send Jesus to humiliate us. He did it because he loves us.

John 3:16 says that “whoso-ever believeth”-- but believe what? The answer is that God sent Jesus to be put on a cross for us, and that He rose again on the third day. It follows that we will then want Jesus to be not only our Savior but also our Lord.

God made glorious salvation possible for “whosoever,” and “whosoever” is us.

Every person’s life is a story to be told. I think of the people I know or have known. I think of the things they do and accomplish. I think of the many talents each one has and all that has been accomplished. We dream dreams. We have ambitions. We have drives to accomplish something. Some of those things we accomplish

and do well. Other efforts are failures. But we dream on. We keep planning and try to get some of those things working. It just goes on and on. We never quit planning.

Our mind Is a constant whirling motion, capable of holding many thoughts at one time. Nothing is lost from the

day we are born and perhaps, from the time of existence. All of the thoughts within us may never get out into the world, because time runs out before they get accomplished. Other do get out, by the written word as in journals, books, etc. These are thoughts put into words.

Other things expressed may be in things, such as buildings, inventions, paintings, etc. These things are ideas we leave for the world. The talents of people are put out into the world in many different ways, such as art, sewing, construction, worship, service and maybe, just good will.

What we truly are, only God can know. That is the heritage He gave; for us to know ourselves as we are, and to know the greatness within us.

We project as much as we can into the world as works. Other things we do not reveal. Why is it not possible to share this part of ourselves with all others? That knowing can only come from within. So no one really knows another. We only know what we share, yet the thread that connects every being is there. Sometimes it is thin and fragile. Sometimes it is very strong. It is there. It may never be revealed but it is there and can never be broken.

I think of the members of my family. I grew up in a

family of thirteen brothers and sisters. Each one of us has gone in a different direction in our lives and careers. We have lawyers, judges, secretaries, seamstresses, clerks, some in management, store owners, authors and writers. And we are able to share these different parts of our lives with each other. I have long wanted to tell the story of my own family. The title of the story would be A Dozen and One. I will keep working on it.

The greatness of th is world and the people in it are becoming known to the world each day, as in the new electronic inventions. Maybe electronic is not the right word, but new things are happening every day. When SKYPEwas revealed, I was excited. Now iPods, iPhones, SMART PHONES, wow—what next?

We are the sum total of all our experiences. As long as we have life here on earth, we have an opportunity to become the person that God created us to be. Yes, every person’s life is a story to be told.

Mack Yoakum, 80, died after a short illness on September 29, 2012, with his family by his side in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Mack was born on July 10, 1932, in Allen, Oklahoma to Doc and Myrtle (Webb) Yoakum. He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, H.D. Yoakum; and two sisters, Adele Yoakum Tate and Billie Yoakum Frank.

His life was a great inspiration to friends and family. He was a beloved husband, loving son and son-in-law, and the most awesome father, grandfather, and great grandfather the Lord could have ever blessed our family with, and for that we are truly thankful.

Mack was born and raised in Allen, Oklahoma during the Great Depression and worked very hard during his childhood on his parents farm. In high school, along with his studies, he played football and baseball. In 1947 at age 15 he joined the 45th

Oklahoma National Guard Unit. So, along with his school and duties at home he also had weekend drills and summer camps.

When the Korean War broke out in 1950, he left school early and traveled with the 45th 180 Inf. Division to Japan and Korea. The 45th was sent to Korea to relieve the 1st Calvary Division (1950-1952. He was injured in Korea and was sent to various hospitals for one year.

After the war he returned home to work as a rough neck in the oil fi elds of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and North Dakota. In 1953 he married his high school sweetheart, L. Vermell Muse. Like many Okies, Mack took his young bride and headed to California to work; after a few months, they headed back to Oklahoma.

About the same time, a small refi ning crude unit was being relocated from Allen to Corpus Christi, Texas. Approximately 30 young couples from the Allen area relocated to South Texas to work for Suntide refi nery (later the refi nery became Sun Oil, Koch, and presently Flint Hills). Mack brought his young bride to Corpus to start their new life together. After 38 years at the refi nery he retired as a shift supervisor.

Mack loved to hunt and fi sh and had several hunting leases in South Texas and a houseboat on Lake Mathis.

He and his wife, Vermell, bought a summer home in Leakey, Texas that the family enjoyed for 40 years. Everyone loved Leakey and no one can begin to count the wonderful memories made there with friends and family.

He was a master story teller and had no problem stretching a story to the max for a good laugh. He enjoyed entertaining and loved making people feel good about themselves.

After retiring, Mack and Vermell, went on several cruises and trips with friends. One of his great joys was to take his three widowed sister-in-laws and his wife on cross country trips. No Kidding, he really enjoyed them.

Mack remained active with the Texas National Guard for a total of 24 years, retiring at the rank of Major. He stayed active with the military thru Military Assistance Group (MAG) and the Central Intelligence Division (CID) for all branches of the service in the Southern command. Mack attended Offi cers Command school (Rangers 1964-65) in Fort Benning Georgia.

Mack was a member of Grace United Methodist Church, the American Legion, VFW, a 32nd degree Mason, and Al Amien Shriners.

Every morning my dad got up early to open up the side door of his grocery store in Centrahoma. He made sand-wiches for a small posse of cowboys that mostly worked out on the Cody Ranch. I also got up to fetch the little roll of newspapers the Mistletoe Ex-press tossed out onto the side of SH-3. That was 70 years ago and I was Centrahoma’s paperboy.

I only had 6 customers and 2 extras. For a while I thought I was paying for just six but after I learned I had to pay for all eight I became a lot less gener-ous with them. After that my grandpa (W. W. Armstrong) and my dad had to fork over a nickel each. My dad, a person known to be cautious in his spending complained that his should be free but he would pay anyway— even though I read “his” copy.

Which brings me to one of the points of all this — the content of The Oklahoman. Newspaper editors in general and the Oklahoman in par-ticular complain bitterly that people just don’t read papers

like they used to. Well, that’s right. Before and during the war (WWII) people depended on the paper for their news. They (the news writers) wrote extensive and comprehensive stories in those days about people like Herr Hitler and his ambitions and when the war clouds got heavy the people were well informed and able to make intelligent political decisions — as they must do in a democracy. Even com-mon people who weren’t “well educated” were well versed on what was going on and such knowledge helped this nation to win the big war, WWII. Newspapers helped shape our lives.

The newspapers of today have fallen way short of the mark. Our nation has been in war (one that’s cost thou-sands of lives) that puts our young people into battle for something we vaguely call “freedom.” When Jay Leno goes “Jay Walking” we laugh at how little people know about current events. This is partly

because the front pages these days do a poor job of informing readers and as a result fewer people read them. You have to hunt for actual news stories in papers such as The Oklaho-man these days and in general the front page looks more like a copy of “Grit” than that of an important daily.

Newsmen seem to be ob-sessed with shaping our social values while ignoring or doing a poor job educating the public about important economic, domestic and foreign affairs which voters in a free democ-racy need to grasp. A case of “bullying” in Oklahoma City currently draws a lot more ink than do the life and death political issues in the Middle East.

Recently the circulation de-partment of The Oklahomancut off some large chunks of Oklahoma because (so they said) delivery is diffi cult. Years of tight-fi sted penny-pinching against the “paperboys” who get up in the middle of the night and see to the delivery of

their product has resulted in a shortage of route managers and workers. It seemed easier to just shut down outlying routes than it was to take care of their loyal readers who helped make The Oklahoman one of the greatest dailies in America.

I have always been a loyal reader. Even during the four years I spent in the Military and away from home I would search out a copy of “The Oklahoman” in San Diego or San Francisco. I was a happy camper. Later, I was pleasantly surprised when I was trans-

ferred to the East Coast to fi nd The Daily Oklahoman on sale in the big news stand in Times Square — easier to buy than in Allen, Oklahoma. I found myself plotting during the 4th

quarter of the OU/KSU game (in Gaylord Stadium) how I could get my Sunday paper after the game. However, so far I can’t fi gure out how to get my Oklahoman here next Sun-day. But I’m thinking about it. What’s my advice to you? Send an email or letter to their circulation department.

Be sure and go to your church Sunday.

Wayne Bullard, D.Phwaynebullard@sbcglobal.net

From the news we have seen people in the Muslim world become very upset and take physical, destructive mob ac-tion when Nakoula Basseley Nakoula made the anti-Muslim fi lm. They were very upset be-cause of the disrespect shown to the prophet Mohammad. Now Nakoula has been ar-rested and some people think that our government is try-ing to appease the Muslims. Others have wondered why it is acceptable to criticize Jesus Christ and the Christian

religion but not to say or do anything negative regarding Muslim beliefs.

Many hurtful and defama-tory things are often spoken by unbelievers regarding Chris-tianity and these comments often make the national news. However, those claiming to be Christians have not taken riot-ous physical action to defend their honor. Of course, we remember that Jesus did not take violent action to defend himself and He commanded that we “not to resist an evil person” and “whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.” (Matt 5:39)

However, those who defame the name of Jesus Christ and Christianity must not think that there are not any consequences for such evil actions or words. Not all evil receives an imme-diate response. We must not think that we can continue to use God’s name in vain or blas-

pheme Christianity without suffering for it. The Bible says, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” (Eccl 8:11)

Jesus made it clear, “By your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matt 12:37) We had better believe and “take to heart” the warnings God have given that there will be a day of judgment and God will take vengeance. “Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord.”(Rom 12:19-20)

You never know how much you depend on someone until they are missing. Sunday morning we were missing

Truby, our piano player. We are praying that she will soon be back in good health. Jennea Haas played for us and did a

great job. Our special, “His Name

is Wonderful”, was sung by Tochie and Carolyn Elliott. Carolyn is Bill’s sister and we welcome her and her husband to our church family.

Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from James 3:13-18 and entitled “Confl icting Concepts of Wisdom.” Christians should be out of step with the rest of the world! If we value what the world values, see as the world sees, then we are out of step with God! Wisdom which comes from the devil is characterized by bitter envy. A bitter spirit is a terribly heavy burden to bear. It will lead to disorder and evil practices. Some people always seem to be close to the chaos. They are able to aggravate things up to the next level.

He is not simply talking about outright sin. He is talk-ing about anything that brings discord, confusion, unhappi-ness, pain, sorrow or agitation. Wisdom which comes from heaven is pure. It has no hid-den motives or agendas. It de-sires only that the will of God be accomplished. It is peace loving.

Those who love peace want to see people come to Christ. They are submissive to the authority and will of God. It is considerate, full of mercy and fruit. It is impartial and sincere. They want others to succeed and rejoice when they do. Those who desire such wisdom will live lives that exhibit such traits.

Sunday night we hosted the Fifth Sunday Singing with Friendship, Arpelar and McA-lester churches attending and singing. We always enjoy get-

ting together with our fellow Christians.

This Sunday after church services we will have a potluck dinner. Everyone is invited.

Saturday, Nov. 3rd, from 9-2:00 we will have our an-

nual Christmas Bazaar. We will have door prizes, jewelry, fl oral arrangements, home de-cor, crafts, fried pies and a concession stand with candy and soup. Put this date on your calendar.

Atwood Church of the Nazarene

Lots of great changes are going on at Woodland Hills right now: Each resident is now able to choose their meal from a preprinted menu, and the home is being redecorated to make it more like a real home.

A warm welcome is extended to several new residents. Mark Winchester, Mark Haskins, Michelle Fischer, Billie Herring, Joy Kinsley, Toni Canada, Wilburn Lee, Clemantene Vines and Max Wainscott have all joined the Woodland Hills family within the last two months.

Residents and staff are looking forward to the Halloween Car-nival on the 19th of October. The fun and festivities will begin at 6:00 pm and an open invitation is extended to the community. Everyone is invited to come and make this annual fundraiser a great success.

Activities will include a cake walk, silent auction, bingo, hay ride, barbecue dinner, face painting, concession stand and several carnival games. Several businesses and families from Allen and Ada have generously donated prizes, food and drinks for the carnival but more is needed. Donations of cakes for the cake walk and bingo prizes will be greatly appreciated.

Remember to dress for the occasion. There will be a prize for the best costume!

Also coming up in October, Danny Miller will be performing on Friday, the 5th, at 2:30 pm; a Fall Picnic is being planned for 11:30 on the 9th; and the Singing Rineharts will be entertaining on the 11th at 6:30.

Robert Lee ‘Bob’ Woodell passed away on Tuesday, October 2, 2012, in Seminole, Oklahoma at the age of 70 years.

Bob was the son of Robert L. Woodell Sr. and Freda Jewel (Lee) Woodell, born on November 9, 1941, at Cottonwood, Oklahoma. He was brought up and attended schools in the Coalgate area, then moved with his family to Allen when he was 17 years old. He joined the U.S. Navy and served two years during the Vietnam era.

Bob married Janice Smith on August 5, 1967, in Ada, Oklahoma. They lived in Holdenville for eighteen months, in Muskogee for two years, and spent some time living in Coalgate, Enid, and Ada, before returning to Holdenville, where they’ve made their home for the past 38 years. Bob drove a truck cross-country for 35 years, retiring in 2000. ‘Drifter’ was his handle on the CB radio, and he loved talking on the CB, both on and off the road.

The latest release from the Oklahoma Tax Commis-sion shows that six out of ten Hughes County communi-ties received an increase in tax disbursement dollars in September compared to last month. However, only four communities received more compared to August 2011.

Hughes County Use Tax re-turn of $1,909.75 was $710.02 more compared to last month’s return of $1,199.73. This was the seventh month that the county use tax has been in place. The use tax disburse-ment of $2,152,767 was dis-tributed between 73 counties.

According to the latest fig-ures released by the Oklahoma Tax Commission, the Hughes County communities reporting an increase over the past month were Allen, Atwood, Calvin, Stuart, Dustin and Lamar. Those reporting losses were Holdenville, Wetumka, Gerty, and Yeager.

The Hughes County com-munities that saw an increase compared to September 2011 were Wetumka, Calvin, Dustin and Yeager.

Allen, population 951, straddles the Hughes/Ponto-toc county line, most of its business district is on the Pon-totoc county side. However, it is included in the Hughes County report to give a more comprehensive view of the area economy. Allen, with a tax rate of three cents on the dollar, received $13,049.47 for their September return. This is a gain of $2,488.06 compared to the $10,561.41 they re-ceived last month. This is a loss of $116.07 compared to last year’s return of $13,165.54.

In the latest report Holden-ville, the Hughes county seat, with a population of 4,732, received $198,329.31 for their September disbursement, a loss of $10,987.73 compared to last month’s return of $209,317.04. This figure shows a loss of $13,078.97 compared to the September 2011 figure of $211,408.28. Holdenville cur-rently has a tax rate of five cents on the dollar.

Wetumka, the second largest community in the county, has

a population of 1,451. This is the fourth disbursement to in-clude the complete results of a sales tax rate increase from .03 percent to .04 percent in April (remember these results are from April collections). The $33,960.19 they received in their September tax disburse-ment is $1,431.05 less than the $35,391.24 they received last month. This is a gain of $10,619.16 compared to the $23,341.03 that was returned last year.

Atwood, population, 113, is located seven miles west of Allen on Highway 1. The tiny community has a current sales tax rate of two percent. Their September tax return of $784.53 was a gain of $432.39 from the $352.14 they received the previous month. This was a loss of $728.14 compared to the $1,512.67 they received last year.

Calvin has a tax rate of .04 and received a return of $8,206.60 for September. This is a gain of $2,206.22 com-pared to the previous month’s return of $6,000.38. This is a gain of $1,927.11 compared to the $6,279.49 they received during the same time period last year.

Stuart is 10 miles east of Calvin on Highway 1, near the eastern edge of Hughes Coun-ty. The return of $8,194.75 for September is a $364.25 gain from the $7,830.50 received last month. This figure is a loss of $4,087.53compared to last year’s return of $12,282.28.

Gerty, population 279, had a September return of $289.10. This was a loss of $1,378.85 compared to the $1,667.95 they received last month. This is a loss of $129.14 compared to the $418.24 they received during the same time period last year. Gerty has a tax rate of two cents on the dollar.

Allen, Calvin, Wetumka, Yeager and Lamar are the only Hughes County commu-nities to also report Use Tax disbursements. According to the Oklahoma Tax Commis-sion release, Use tax money comes from purchases made outside the state. It includes items bought from retailers who don’t collect state sales tax. Purchasers are responsible

for paying use taxes on out-of-state purchases, according to the OTC, the use tax dis-bursement of $9,759,065 was distributed between 378 cities and towns.

Allen received a $2,662.27 Use tax disbursement in Sep-tember, a $2,022.86 gain com-pared to the $639.41 received last month. This was a gain of $1,963.96 compared to the $698.31 received last year.

Calvin received a $346.59 Use tax return in September. This is a $276.94 decrease compared to last month’s $623.53 Use Tax return. This is a decrease of $134.91 com-pared to last year’s return of $481.50.

Wetumka reported a $971.51 Use tax return for September. This is $92.53 more than the $878.98 returned last month. This is a gain of $440.07 com-pared to the $531.44 returned last year.

The Allen Mustangs will travel to Alex this week to bat-tle the Longhorns in a District B-2 football contest. Allen will bounce into the game fresh off an impressive 52-30 victory over the Geary Bison.

“It was great to get a win,” said Coach Kenny Deaton. “It was a total team effort from every kid on the roster. They all contributed to this victory.”

Special praise goes to Mi-chael Stick for his determina-tion to help the Mustangs get their first win.

“Michael was so sick, but refused to leave the field,” Coach Deaton said. “It was such a solid effort and incred-ible because of how bad he felt on Friday night. He wanted to deliver for his team and he certainly stepped up and did that!”

The coach also pointed to a balanced offensive attack as a key to the 3-touchdown victory over Geary.

“We kept them off-balance with our play selection,” the AHS skipper said. “Our run-ning game has been productive most of the time this season. But Conner Johnson stepped up and got the passing game going too. That was a real dif-

portantly, the Mustangs forced 4 Bison turnovers during the game.

“We intercepted 2 passes and recovered 2 of their 5 fumbles,” Coach Deaton said. “Those four turnovers were important in stopping their of-fensive drives.”

Four different AHS players recorded the turnovers. Colten Browning had an interception return of 29 yards. Dakota Nickell added an interception return of 26 yards. The 2 fum-ble recoveries were by Conner Johnson and Aaron Manuel.

Justin Deaton led the defense with a game-high 12 tackles, including 3 quarterback sacks. Cody Lively was second in tackles with 9 stops. Dakota Nickell and Zach Conley both made 8 tackles in the game. Colten Browning followed with 7 tackles while Conner Johnson and Aaron Manuel finished with 6 tackles each.

Fans were treated to a scoring roller-coaster during the first half. Allen took a 6-0 lead on Colten Browning’s 56-yard touchdown run.

Geary responded with a 53-yard TD run. The Bison also added a conversion run to lead 8-6.

Allen came back with a Con-ner Johnson quarterback keep-

er that covered 69 yards to the end zone. The tally put Allen back in front 12-8.

Geary counter-punched with a 61-yard touchdown run and a conversion pass to make it 16-12 Bison lead.

Allen responded very quickly with Dakota Nichols’ 75-yard touchdown pass from Conner Johnson. The score provided the Mustangs with an 18-16 edge.

In the second quarter, Geary surged back in front with a 1-yard touchdown run to make it a 22-18 Bison lead.

Allen stormed back with a 1-yard touchdown run by Conner Johnson. The QB also toed the extra point to put the Mustangs on top 25-22.

Allen scored 1 more touch-down with only 9 seconds left in the half. The scoring play was designed to be a pass from Conner Johnson to Jus-tin Deaton. However, that is not the way the play actually unfolded.

“Conner was trying to get the pass to Michael Stick, but Geary was on him with double coverage,” said Coach Deaton. “Conner threw it anyway . . . and the ball bounced off the helmet of one of the defend-ers.”

Justin Deaton was on the spot and alertly snared the deflected pass for a 4-yard touchdown reception.

“That is a heck of a way to get your first varsity touchdown,” said Coach Deaton. “But Justin was in the right place and made the catch!”

Deaton’s deflected TD recep-tion sent the Mustangs to half-time with a 31-22 advantage.

Allen came out in the third quarter and continued to scor-ing spree. Colten Browning romped 37 yards for another touchdown. Johnson then add-ed the PAT kick to make it a 38-22 game.

Allen’s next touchdown was by Justin Deaton. His second TD came on a more ‘routine’ 21-yard scoring toss from Johnson. Johnson booted an-other PAT kick to swell the margin to 45-22.

The Mustang fans saw a final AHS touchdown in the fourth quarter. Dakota Nickell

sprinted the final 6 yards on a TD run. Johnson then chipped in another PAT kick to blow open a 30-point advantage at 52-22.

Geary put up the last touch-down of the night on a 17-yard scoring run. The Bison also converted their conversion run to round out the final score at 52-30.

When the clock showed zero, the Mustang Stadium crowd celebrated their first win of 2012.

Looking ahead, this week’s opponent will provide a much stiff test down in Alex. It will take an incredible performance by the Mustangs to slip out of town with a win over the Longhorns.

“They have a good team,” warns Coach Deaton. “They are one of the top teams in our district. Their quarterback is their biggest weapon. Our main priority will be to contain the quarterback. I am hoping our offense can continue to have the balance we had last week. We’ll really have to step up and compete to be success-ful at Alex.”
