Allen Advocate The Allen School’s The-

ater Club will be presenting a performance of CSI: Christ-mas Scene Investigators; or Who Stole Santa Claus? on Saturday evening, December 13th, 7:00 p.m., in the school auditorium.

The plot: At Wendell Wil-ke High, Christmas may not come at all if Principal Crunge has his way. The reason? Santa Claus is miss-ing! The school’s Clue Club detectives are quickly called in to help. Full of more surprises than a fruitcake, the Clue Club finds they have successfully fulfilled their duty as “Christmas Scene Investigators” when they reveal just why the true meaning of Christmas is all that really matters.

Everyone is invited to at-tend. The performance is free to attend, but donations will be accepted.

Be An Angel! Angels are needed to fi ll

the Christmas lists of chil-dren in the Allen area. Come by the Farmers State Bank and select the name of a child off the tree to shop for.

Unwrapped gifts should be returned to the bank by December 19th for Christmas delivery to the children.

Allen High School invites area residents to give the gift of life this holiday season through blood donation. Oklahoma Blood Institute

(OBI) will conduct a blood drive Monday, December 8th, from 9 am to 1 pm inside the gym lobby. Appointments are not required but can be made by calling 877-340-8777 or visiting obi.org.

Each donor will receive a blood donor T-shirt, health screenings and Donor Re-wards points, redeemable for items in OBI’s online store. Oklahoma Blood Institute will make a monetary contri-bution of similar value to the Global Blood Fund for those donors who choose.

Santa Claus has been able to work a stop in Allen into his busy schedule and he plans to be in town next Saturday, December 13th, at 2:00 p.m. The local fi re de-partment has volunteered to pick him up and deliver him to the Allen Nutrition Site on West Broadway where he will greet area children. Bring your kids and cameras and come enjoyed a time of

visiting with the Jolly Old Man from the North Pole.

After Santa leaves down-town he will be making a quick stop at the local nurs-ing home. It is at that time – when he leaves downtown and is visiting Woodland Hills residents – that the drawings will be held for the Allen Chamber of Com-merce’s “Shop at Home” pro-motion. Customers should

be receiving one ticket for each purchase in excess of $5 made at a member’s business. Winners must be present and may claim only one prize per person. The drawings will be held in front of the Allen Food Center.

The Allen City council met Monday. A short agenda for the month was discussed.

After the approval of previous claims and minutes next year’s court dates, meeting dates and holiday schedule was approved. Municipal court dates are held on the sec-ond Monday each month. Court times are set to begin at 3:30 and Meagan Brooking is the City Judge. Approved employee holidays are New Years Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, 2 days at Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The Allen Fire Department is waiting on the arrival of their new grass truck anytime this month and asked for the council to approve approaching the county to purchase a new tanker engine. The current set are 25 and 38 years old and besides the worn engine the tanks are corroded and in need of replacement. The department contends that they can replace two trucks with a new unit. The price range is around $290,000 for the new truck. After a discussion it was decided to take the request to the county commissioners for the possibility of purchasing the unit with the county fi re tax monies. Details such as fi nancing and the bidding process will have to be worked out as the purchase would have to come through Pontotoc County. Unfortunately there has been a rash of structure fi res lately and while Ada Fire Department has been on scene the Allen Fire Department would like to play a bigger part in protecting our area citizens.

Police chief Sanford reported that two offi cers from Hughes County Sheriff’s Department; Blake Enos and Daniel Nowlin, began work this month. They along with Derek Whitehead are fi lling the void left by Dewayne McKenzie’s departure. There was $6,440 worth of cita-tions written in November. There was also continued discussions about purchasing and the use of ballistic vests and possible dash and offi cer cameras.

In other discussions dog nuisances, putting up the town Christmas decorations were discussed the meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m.

Richard Lederer writes . . .When I was a callow youth, my neighborhood buddies

and I used to sing a learned lyric that played around with levels of vocabulary:

labic poem turned out to be Row, row, row your boat.These days my youthful adventure in oblique obfusca-

Here are the fi rst 12 pompously infl ated titles of verses that you hear and perhaps sing during the month of December. Name each tune. Your task is to translate each ponderous version back into its original, nonorchidaceous form.

. . Christmas season has arrived. And as we all know if you really love your friends and family you will max out your credit cards and spend all your cash. For the nicer the gift the more love you are expressing . . . or so it seems.

However some of us have a different view of the Christmas season. Helen Szymanski shared her thoughts of many of us when she wrote . . .

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. The holiday season is the perfect opportunity for my family to get together and share our love for one another, and that’s where the real joy in the holiday lies—in the love we choose to share.

During my childhood years, I received many different types of gifts, but the presents that stand out in my mind are the ones that were simple and inexpensive. Perhaps I remember these particular gifts more fondly because they always came loaded with an extra heaping of love. I recall one year when several of my sisters and I each received a pair of red and white fl annel pajamas covered with

elves and toadstools. I’m guessing that the pajamas weren’t top of the line, but they were warm and fuzzy, and they were covered with the very same elusive elves we daydreamed about and pretended to chase through the violets and across the meadow every day. Mom could not have found a bet-ter gift.

But that was Mom. She always seemed to know which gifts would be ap-preciated the most. I re-ceived my all-time favorite Christmas gift from her the year after I had gotten mar-ried. The gift was an old Mason jar with a metal lid and handle, fi lled with pop-corn kernels. When I was a teenager, I popped popcorn for the whole family nearly every night. Additionally, since leaving home, I had begun collecting glass bot-tles, including old Mason jars. It meant the world to me that Mom remembered my favorite snack and also knew what my current likes were.

Though Mom was promoted to heaven nine

years ago, I believe that her teachings live on in me and in each of her other fi fteen children. When I need a reminder of what Christmas is all about, I look at the open shelf in my kitchen and see the very same Ma-son jar Mom gifted me with thirty years ago. The

jar has long been empty of popcorn kernels, but it will always be fi lled with the knowledge that Christmas is not about how many ex-pensive gifts you receive. I learned a very long time ago that Christmas is, al-ways has been, and always will be about love.

1. Is the book of 3 Kings in the Old or New Testament or neither?

2. Who said, “I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit”? Matthew, Mark, John the Baptist, Luke

3. Jesus says that to see the kingdom of God, you have to ...?

Love one another, Be born again, Do what’s right, Tithe

4. From Leviticus 14, how long was a “clean” person required to remain outside his tent? 1 night, 2 nights, 4 days, 7 days

5. What town or city was Saul of Tarsus near when he converted to Christianity? Damascus, Assos, Corinth, Gaza

6. Which apostle’s mother-in-law is mentioned in the Bible (KJV)? Peter, Judas, James, Andrew

ANSWERS: 1) Neither; 2) John the Baptist; 3) Be born again; 4) 7 days; 5) Damascus; 6) Peter

I have been behind all month. It has been hard for me to write November on anything. I am still thinking it is October When I have written a check this month, I would write the date be-

ginning with a 10. I can’t seem to catch up. I know that as I have gotten older, time seems to fly faster, but in my Sunday School Class this week, I kept turning the pages to find the date

of the lesson, and it took me a while to realize that I am looking at pages that are in October, yet Sunday was the end of November. If this year was any indication, the next few years will just fly by for me. I must try harder to keep up.

The heavy frosts we have had recently took care of the problem we have had about mowing the grass. After one heavy frost, the grass lost its green color and quit growing. Now I look at the yard and realize that I must start raking the leaves. It seems they began falling overnight I began to wonder if it would be better to get out the lawn mower and just cut up the leaves and maybe let the wind take

them out of the yard, or at least, up beside the fence, and then I would not have to rake them in piles and then wonder what to do with the piles of leaves.

Also, this week begins the month when I will have an-other birthday. They seem to be coming faster also. I look at my face in the mir-ror and see more deep lines than usual. Should I began to use more moisturizing cream? Or just get used to seeing how my face is ag-ing? Big decisions.

The book I just published is moving pretty well. Not as well as I would like, but it is doing well. I have two appearances scheduled and, perhaps there will be an-

other day for book signing, as it rained very hard the day we had it scheduled, and that kept some people away.

I will also get up to my former school the day they have the next Book Fair. I am also working on another book. It will have many of my Threads columns. My publisher has asked for it. There is so much material to go through as I have been writing my column since 1992, so you can imagine how much material there is.

At lease I can work at my computer at home, on my own time, and that is a help.

Yes, this week, I will re-member that when I write the date, it begins with a twelve.

Bunch of Turkeys Gather to Feast

Branson Christmas Visit

My wife Pat, granddaugh-ter Meegan, and I climbed into our car last Tuesday morning to make our trek to Branson, Mo. We wanted to beat the “dark” but you know how it is. We hit the crooked mountain roads of the Ozarks right at dark. About the darkest night you could ever see as we crooked our way around endless hairpin curves guarded by 25MPH speed limits. We fi nally made it up there to our quarters in the Tribesman Resort out by Lake Table Rock — not far

from Silver Dollar City. The “grand” two-storied

lodge featured 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and two living ar-eas. A deliberate lack of maintenance and upgrades delivered a kind of rustic beauty to the cabins that can only age can deliver. We required 2 of these lodges for our many-faceted family that slowly gathered on this Thanksgiving. The Thanks-giving gathering was com-prised of the 3 passengers

I ferried down plus Steve, Courtney, Francesca and Charlotte Bullard of Tulsa, Kathy Costner of Bristow, Tim and Lesli and Emilee of Allen and Chock and Eula Tilley of Norman.

The next morning our group ran out far and wide in search of “Black Friday” bargains as well as new and exotic places to eat and shop. Most of us went out to Silver Dollar City and saw Dickens’ Christmas. It was, as usual, well pro-duced and scored. A great and traditional program almost guaranteed to get you in the mood for Christ-mas. We really enjoyed it. The second show may have been better. “It’s A Wonder-ful Life” had been re-done and was much better than it was last year. Adapted from Frank Capra’s Classic, it is one of my favorite movies and now may be one of my favorite musicals.

The lines were long but the waits were short. I skipped the saloon show this year. Just ran out of time and energy. Another show we saw was in the big Starlight Theatre downtown on the main drag at Gretna Street. The Billy Dean show is in town for 60 days and I was glad to see it. His Christmas show and the comedian Jarrett Daugherty was featured (he used to play Cecil over at the Pierce Arrow). Daugherty has all new routines and brought the house down a time or two. You may remember him as the guy who does an act as a preacher who fractures his bible quotes al-though he didn’t repeat that particular skit this time.

One thing I came back with was less money. The shows keep going up and I guess that is to be expected but Branson needs to re-member their appeal is to middle class Americans who tend toward western

music and simple taste or suffer from more empty the-aters and hotels out there. The Dixie Stampede was sold out and if you like ro-deo fare, music and lots of pretty horses this is the place for you. Be sure and take $55.00+ each if you want in. You do get an excellent meal served in an interest-ing way while the entertain-ment goes on. Considering that Billy Dean cost $40 bucks, the stampede was a real bargain. On the other hand, fi fty dollars here and fi fty dollars there and fi rst thing you know you’re out of 50 dollar bills.

Silver Dollar City is still

a bargain. At $60 each for a 2 day pass give you free passes to all the shows (and there are many) plus all the rides and I believe the rides would be hard to beat at any park. For those of us getting a lot of miles on our odom-eters, the hills out at Silver Dollar City are higher and steeper than they were 3 or 4 years ago so get ready for a lot of walking and most of it is uphill. Meanwhile en-joy life here in Allen where the ground is mostly level, the kids are smarter and the women prettier. And don’t forget to go to church this Sunday. Admission is still free and I hear they are of-fering details on a free trip to heaven.

Wayne Bullard, DPhwaynebullard@sbc-

“I don’t like for preach-ers to criticize the beliefs of others!” Whoever has said this is actually criticizing preachers for doing what he is doing – criticizing oth-ers! None of us enjoy the stress of criticizing others or of being criticized. But, we do it! Right?

However, when people believe and practice things harmful to them, should we simply ignore it? If we loved others who are doing wrong, wouldn’t we try to correct them? For example, did your parents correct (maybe even, disci-pline) you for telling a lie? Aren’t you thankful they did? In the same manner, I’m thankful to those who have corrected me when I did things against God’s will. Aren’t you thankful to preachers who criticized you for not doing what God has commanded?

In the early church there were some who taught false teaching according to Acts

15:1. They said, “Un-less you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” Did the Apostles and church leaders just overlook this and teach tolerance toward all differ-ent teachings? No! They did not! God’s word says there was much dissention about it and great dispute. (Acts 15:2)

CTo some who practiced this false teaching Paul wrote, “You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justifi ed by law; you have fallen from grace.” (Galatians 5:4) Belief and practice of this false teaching was go-ing to cause people to be lost, so Paul warned them of the consequence of be-lieving falsely and tried to instruct them in the truth. Paul asked them, “Have I therefore become your en-emy because I tell you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16) He was not their enemy because he criticized and tried to correct them. Don’t you think it is wise to listen and evaluate criticism and make correction when it is needed – to please God, not just to please other people?

Mustangs opens season in conference tournamentAllen boys draw Wannete as fi rst round

opponent on Tuesday evening

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen Mustangs will be busy playing this week in the annual Pontotoc Conference Tournament games at Stonewall High School.

Coach Greg Mills was set to play Wanette at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday in a fi rst-round game at the week-long tour-nament.

The winner of Tupelo vs. Wanette will move on to the tournament semi-fi nals to face either Tupelo or Roff. The second-round game would be at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday. The loser of Allen’s fi rst-round game will play the loser of the Tupelo vs. Roff game at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

These games will mark the offi cial opening for the 2014-15 basketball season.

Last week, Allen split the Thanksgiving break with time in the gym and time away from the sport. The Mustangs did get to scrimmage the Coalgate Wildcats on Tuesday in Coalgate.

The challenge for the new-look Mustangs is to be com-petitive against other conference teams who have already played 5 or 6 games before the tournament.

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen High School girls will be aiming to win a plaque here this week in the annual Pontotoc Conference Tournament at Stonewall.The week-long event was set to begin for Allen on Tuesday afternoon. The tip-off was to be at 4:30 p.m. against the Calvin Lady Bulldogs.If the Allen girls defeat Calvin as expected, the Lady Mustangs will advance to the semi-fi nals for a 7:10 p.m. game on Thursday. The opponent will be either Asher or Tupelo.The winners’ bracket third-round games will be played on Saturday. The third place game will be at 3:00 p.m. The championship game will follow at 5:40 p.m.Coach Jeremy Strong said earlier his team will present basketball opponents with multiple challenges due to the Lady Mustangs’ versatility this season. He explained the various approaches his team can take during games.“We can go with a little bit of everything,” he said. “We can go big or we can go little or we can do a combination of both. I believe our team can match up defensively with most teams we’ll play. I really like our size or length and the fact that we have some quickness too.”

The top forwards will be 5-11 junior Charlea Leon-

ard and 5-11 sophomore Faith Caldwell.

“Charlea and Faith are the starting forwards,” the coach said. “We also have a lot of depth there in the post. We also have Chelsea Wedlow, Brooke Holbrook and Emily Nelson.”

Kennedy Prentice (5-6) is the point guard.

Alison Sells (5-5) is pro-jected to the start as the shooting guard position.

Junior Hannah Heck (5-7) can play either guard or forward.

Alycia Evans (5-6) is slated to be the fi rst guard off the bench. “We will also have other girls who will role players off the bench,” the coach said. “We know these girls. We won’t have any surprises. These kids have been here for a long time.”

In the Matter of the Estate of CLEMATEEN MOZENA WILLIAMSON, De-ceased.

COMBINED NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND NOTICE OF HEARING TO: All persons interested in the Estate of Clemateen Mozena Williamson,

Deceased You are hereby notified that on the 24th day of November, 2014, Dr. Vivian

Williamson Whitney (the “Petitioner”), by and through Susie Bolin Summers of Mayhue, Summers & Files, PLLC, Attorneys for Petitioner, filed, in the District Court of Pontotoc County, a Petition for Summary Administration, Appointment of Special Administrator, and Admission of Will to Probate (the “Petition”).

The Petitioner has alleged that Clemateen Mozena Williamson, deceased (the “Decedent”), died testate on January 11, 2014, at the age of 91 years, domiciled in and residing in Pontotoc County, State of Oklahoma, and that the total value of the Decedent’s property in Oklahoma is $45,000.00. Attached to the Petition is an instrument purporting to be the Last Will and Testament. Petitioner has asked this Court to admit the Will to probate and for other sum-mary proceedings pursuant to Section 245 et seq. of Title 58 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

In an Order for Combined Notice entered on the 24th day of November, 2014, the Court found that it should dispense with the regular estate proceedings prescribed by law and order notice to creditors and issue an order for hearing upon the Petition for Summary Administration and Admission of Will to Probate, the Final Accounting, and Petition for Determination of Heirs, Devisees and Legatees and Distribution.

Pursuant to the Order for Combined Notice, all creditors having claims against Clemateen Mozena Williamson, deceased, are required to present the same with a description of all security interests and other collateral (if any) held by each creditor with respect to such claim, to Dr. Vivian Williamson Whitney, Personal Representative, at the law offices of Susie Bolin Summers, Mayhue, Summers & Files, PLLC, Attorneys for the Personal Representative, on or before the following presentment date: December 24, 2014, or the same will be forever barred.

Notice is also hereby given that a hearing will be held on the 20th day of January, 2015, at 9:00 o’clock A.M. at the Pontotoc County Courthouse, Ada, Oklahoma. At the hearing the Court will decide whether to approve the Petition for Summary Administration and Admission of Will to Probate and the Final Account and Petition for Determination of Heirs, Devisees and Legatees, and Distribution of the Petitioner. The Final Account and Petition for Determina-tion of Heirs, Devisees and Legatees and Distribution will be filed herein on or before the 29th day of December, 2014.

You are hereby advised that you must file objections to the Petition for Sum-mary Administration and Admission of Will to Probate and the Final Account and Petition for Determination of Heirs, Devisees and Legatees, and Distribution at least ten (10) days before the hearing and send a copy to the Petitioner in care of his attorney, Susie Bolin Summers, Mayhue, Summers & Files, PLLC, Post Office Box 1488, Ada, Oklahoma 74821-1488, or you will be deemed to have waived any objections. If you have no objections, you need not appear at the hearing or make any filings with the Court.

If an objection is filed at least ten (10) days before the hearing, the Court will determine at the hearing whether the Will attached to the Petition shall be admitted to probate and whether summary proceedings are appropriate and, if so, whether the estate will be distributed and to whom the estate will be distributed.

Christmas Stockingno purchase necessary

The Atwood Community Christmas party will be held this Sunday, December 7th. Beginning at 5:00 that evening there will be a potluck meal followed by a program that includes games, gifts, gab, and a visit from Santa. Some of the ladies have been working hard on shopping and decorating so it’s bound to be a festive, fun time as our community celebrates the Christmas season.

It is easy to get lost in the wrapping paper of Christmas, but just imagine our joy if we had been in Bethlehem the night Jesus was born! What if we had been chosen to hear the multitude of angels singing, and what if we truly understood that the star over the stable identifi ed the newborn baby as the Son of God, our Savior!

As it happens, next Sunday morning is also the day for the First Sunday Breakfast at the church. The church men are Almost-Ready-For-A-TV-Show-Of-Their-Own caliber cooks so you’ll want to be in line in the fellowship hall ready to eat at 9:00.

Tom Spillman and Wyatt Deaton brought the special music,“He Reached Down for Me,” this Sunday. Con-sidering that it was soon after the Thanksgiving feast, Tom sounded good, as usual. This song shared the gospel mes-sage, and I was reminded that we can all use our talents and gifts to share the good news. Some preach it, some compose music and lyrics that share it, some sing the mes-sage, but God can use each and every person’s abilities.

Rev. Karch’s message was from the 4th chapter of Ro-mans and was titled “Justifi ed by Faith.”

Most of our goals require hard work if we are to achieve them. Salvation, however, does not require work on our part. It is given to us as a free gift, and we receive it by faith. Faith is believing what God tells us enough to stake our life and soul on it.

How many works would it take, anyway, to be equivalent to the blood Jesus shed on the cross for us? Our salvation can only be provided by the grace of God. Though we can’t earn it by our works, after we receive salvation our works will be the kind that identify us as a child of God.

Exciting times. We are celebrating the birth of Je-sus. Hopefully we will all remember the reason for the season. God sent his son to live and die on the cross for our sins.

For our specials today the Atwood Group sang “Way Down Deep in My Soul.” This is a song that Bill’s dad Laverne and Gary and Bren-da’s dad Russell sang many years ago. We pray that the next generation will keep this going. Sharla Sherry sang a Christmas special “It Wasn’t His Child.”

Bro Larry’s sermon was taken from 1 Corinthians 1: 3-9 and entitled “Remem-bering God’s Unfailing Faithfulness.” His faith-fulness is seen in his grace. God has given us more than we deserve. He has forgiven the sins of all who have asked. He has done all this for the sake of Jesus. Christmas is celebrated as a reminder of how much God cares for His creation.

His faithfulness is at work in our lives. If you want to know what is in someone’s heart, listen to their words. We are not the same as we once were. God is chang-ing us and we are becoming more like Christ. If we are not seeing growth we need to do some self examina-tion.

Atwood First Baptist Church News

His faithfulness is ex-pressed in his gifts given to us. When God saved us, He gave us gifts to be used within the Church. We cannot be the Christians we ought without fi nding some place of service. We are experiencing something so profoundly good we want to share it. We know where we are headed and we want to take others along.

His faithfulness enables us to keep going. Every Christian in every genera-tion has experienced hard-

ship and trials. God allows these trials not to hurt us, but to strengthen us. He wants us to be strong. We are to be over-comers in this life. He will keep us stead-fast until the very end.

Sunday night we went to the Fifth Sunday Sing-ing in McAlester. The Atwood Group and Robert Carlton sang. We enjoyed the fellowship and the meal afterwards. Wednesday we will be taking the children to see the Christmas lights.
