C ountry Comments THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JUNE 21, 2012 - PAGE 2 by Bill Robinson, Publisher UnitedHealthcare, which pays a royalty fee to AARP P to use its name for marketing purposes. This licensing earned AARP $284 million in 2007, a figure that ballooned to $427 million in 2009 and $670 million in 2010. As it amasses huge prof profits, AARP P also has become the 800-pound gorilla of specialinterest advocacy groups. As journalist Fred Lucas writes in the current issue of Capital Research Center’s monthly newsletter, Foundation Watch, AARP has a much deserved reputation for throwing its weight around on Capitol Hill. AARP burned through $198 million in lobbying fees from 1998 to 2010, according to a recent congressional report. That places it behind the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Medical Association and General Electric but ahead of PhRMA, the trade association that represents pharmaceutical manufacturers.

That’s all it’s interested in. Formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, the nation’s largest seniors group hasn’t cared about its elderly members’ well-being for eons. It’s been too busy building a financial empire. With $1.6 billion in assets and $1.2 billion in revenue in 2010, AARP is a moneymaking powerhouse. The bulk of its money comes not from membership dues but from product endorsements and business agreements with insurance companies. These mountains of money and the generous salaries that AARP lavishes on its corporate executives recently drew the attention of members of Congress who have asked the Internal Revenue Service to review AARP’s tax-exempt status. Their findings appeared in an eye-opening investigative report, “Behind the Veil: The AARP America Doesn’t Know,” that was issued by Republican members of the House Ways and Means Committee. Much of the self-described “nonprofit” group’s revenue comes from the sale of supplemental Medicare insurance provided by Kevin Stinson and Mary (Oglesbee) Wood enjoyed a visit during the Allen Alumni Weekend’s Friday Night on Main celebration. $25 to $60 $4.99 $9.99 -PDBUFE PO UIF DPSOFS PG -POOJF "CCPUU BOE $PVOUSZ $MVC JO "EB 4FF PóDJBM SVMFT GPS EFUBJMT (BNCMF SFTQPOTJCMZ THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JUNE 21, 2012 - PAGE 3 Country Comments tax man before. In 1994, it forked over a one-time settlement of $135 million to the IRS to settle an audit over its tax returns from 1985 through 1993. The IRS found that AARP had engaged in commercial activities and had to remit “unrelated business income tax” or UBIT. That same year, AARP also paid $2.8 million to the U.S. Postal Service to resolve claims that in 1991-92 it improperly mailed health-insurance solicitations at nonprofit rates. Why should AARP be taxexempt while it rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties by sponsoring health insurance and offering hotel and travel discounts and deals on auto rentals? That’s the question former Sen. Alan Simpson, Wyoming Republican, asked at a 1995 hearing on AARP’s operations. What “if U.S. Steel decided to rename itself the American Association of Steel Enthusiasts, offered some discounts and rebates to millions of Americans in exchange for a strictly nominal contribution and then used that incidental association to gain tax-exempt status, and devoted millions to lobbying for direct support of the steel industry.” That’s an excellent question. Meanwhile, AARP remains a steadfast enemy of even the mildest entitlement reforms. The group would prefer to send the bill for previous generations’ spendthrift ways to young people and those who have yet to be born. The group represents only the very short-term financial interests of those now retired and leaves their children and grandchildren to fend for themselves in Joey Turns 1 an America with an increasingly uncertain future. AARP attacked Rep. Paul Ryan, Wisconsin Republican, when he advanced an extremely modest proposal last year aimed at getting a handle on exploding Social Security and Medicare costs. Even though it knew the plan would not affect today’s seniors or anyone over the age of 55, a disingenuous AARP-produced TV ad said, “Some in Congress want to make harmful cuts to Medicare and Social Security, cutting your benefits so Washington can pay its bills.” It was complete nonsense, but AARP didn’t care. AARP CEO Barry Rand doubled down, misrepresenting the Ryan plan in an effort to scare seniors. Although the Ryan plan would not reduce Medicare spending, Mr. Rand told lawmakers in a letter that Mr. Ryan’s “proposed budget caps” would “very likely trigger cuts to Medicare benefits for today’s seniors.” At the same time, AARP gave its enthusiastic support for Obamacare, which would slash $500 billion from Medicare’s budget. AARP’s cheerleading for President Obama’s socialist health care plan was decisive. Without that support, the Medicare-cutting package probably wouldn’t have been approved by Congress and the millions of seniors that AARP claims to represent would have been better off.” The AARP claims to be concerned about senior citizens but I believe they are more concerned about their organization and the profits they can generate. —CC— And last of all, my favorite news item of the week . . . A big city politician saw his first country windmill and asked the farmer what it was. The farmer said, “It’s an electric fan for blowing the flies off my cow. We have heard that President Obama is thrilled with this new “green energy program” and wants to subsidize it.

It has no sweet odor to enliven our fingertips, or to enliven the air about us, no loveliness to delight our eyes. It costs not a cent and its value cannot be reckoned. Stranger still, we already possess it, we cannot give it to others, save indirectly. This gift is only the full use of our own power of apperception. Apperception is the knowing of our mind as it directs our acts. We use it more or less, very often and almost unconsciously. Think how often we have been over impulsive and almost instantly felt regret! We have flared with temper over something very trivial. We have been hurt by a slight from a friend and then discover that it was not that important. Apperception is how we ourselves see an act; how we see or perceive the way we ourselves see things. Also how we look at things and judge them. I had a good opportunity to use my gift of apperception this past weekend. I went to my first drag race park. I expected to see cars come forward in pairs, one pair after another right behind the other couple Protect your eyes with a good pair of sunglasses. Come check out our selection. E Elliott Vision Care Jeff Elliott, O.D. 1139 North Hills Centre Ada, OK (580)332-6000 drag car races. And it may not have been typical of a drag car race. It is what I did see this past weekend and this is what I perceived. It is my perception of the experience. I had perceived a drag car race to be somewhat different. I had thought it would be fast moving, however, I did enjoy the experience very much and I may not ever have to go back, except to people watch. and drag race. That did not happen. The first thing we saw was a lot of older cars lined up like they usually are in a car show. We spent some time viewing these and then we went up to the bleachers and found a seat. There was a long wait before a couple of cars did come up to the starting line, sit there awhile and then blow out fast. Then another long wait before there was any action. Then maybe one car, or at other times, two cars would come up to the starting line and blow out. The two or more hours we were at the track, about six times a car or a couple of cars would come up to the starting line; the starter would walk fast to his position to give them the signal to go, and then off they would go. This was not how I had perceived Keith Pinion was born September 17, 1960 in Holdenville, Oklahoma to Carl and LaVerne Pinion. He passed away on June 17, 2012 at the age of 51. Keith graduated from Holdenville High School in 1979 and moved to Henryetta to attend OSU Okmulgee Tech for auto parts management. He later worked for the Creek Nation in Tulsa. He also owned his own service station and auto sales lot. Later Keith returned to the Holdenville area and worked for Town & Country Auto. Keith was always smiling and laughing and enjoying life. He loved going to the lake and ride his wave runners. He was also a huge fan of NASCAR and OU football. Most of all Keith loved spending time with his family and friends. Keith was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Gene Hearn; maternal grandmother, Abbie Itson; paternal grandfather Author Pinion and grandmother Marie Pinion; uncle Frank Hearn and uncle Joel Pinion. Survivors are his child r e n of the home, s o n Clint Eugene Pinion and daughter Katie Lynn Pinion of Bowlegs; his parents, Carl and LaVerne Pinion of Holdenville; brother Kevin Pinion and wife Marcia Pinion of Holdenville; sisters Karla Ramsey and Kim Turner, both of Holden- ville; nieces Heather Pinion, Sarah Pinion and Shelby Ramsey; nephews Dylan Ramsey and Ross Turner; and his significant other Christie Crawford of Mansfield, Texas and her children Lindsey Crawford and Cody Crawford; special cousin Felicia Baca; and many other family and friends. Pallbearers will be Hank Neal, Kevin Hardeman, David Neighbors, Raul Chavez, Richard Carr and Josh Klimek. Honorary bearers will be Jim Turner, Mike Ramsey, Dustin Bristow, Nathan Cross and Donnie Stotts. Funeral services are scheduled for 2:00 PM on Thursday, June 21st, at the First Baptist Church of Holdenville, Oklahoma. Roy Sisco will officiate with Kevin Hardeman and Overseer John T. Berry assisting. Interment will follow at Bibly (Glory) Cemetery in Holdenville, Oklahoma. Services are under the direction of Hudson-Phillips Funeral Home in Holdenville, Oklahoma. Dorothy Lorine Terry, 87, went to be with her Lord on Sunday, June 17, 2012, at Shawnee, Oklahoma. Dorothy was born on January 21, 1925, on the Jonas Hawkins place in the Bear community east of Calvin, Oklahoma, to Joe Everett McEwin and Retha Frances (Lucas) McEwin.

There was Lots of visiting, music and fellowship. I especially enjoyed the time Friday night at the street dance — as a large crowd just lounged around looking pretty casual as they enjoyed the music and burgers while keeping a keen eye out for perhaps someone special they would like to see. It happened a lot and when it did you could hear the explosion of happy words and laughter between friends and old classmates. It was a fun time for me, too. Seeing some of the old teachers show up was great for all of us. I think the single biggest out-of-town VIP present was Allen’s foremost and most famous band teacher, Tommy Allen. My wife and I were first introduced to Mr. Allen and his band the second day of being in business in Allen, December 23, 1963. This particular Monday morning he stopped his band, right faced ‘em, and played a tune or two for us. It was the band’s way of welcoming us to Allen and as we walked out of the store to listen to them giving us a welcome salute I knew I’d never heard a better band. Pat and I were greatly honored — and impressed. The Allen High School Marching Band in those days defined Allen. They set a tone of excellence in their discipline, marching and playing in every way possible that may never be equaled here again. During Tommy Allen’s tenure he won just about every band meet he entered. The biggest win was “Tri-State” in Enid. The band overcame a lot of obstacles and even opposition and had it not been for the “band mothers” and other boosters raising a lot of money and standing up for the band and its director it never would have happened. Excellence is hard to define sometimes but when I want an example, I think Tommy Allen. As I mentioned earlier, when Mr. Allen “practiced” his band he often took them right down Highway 48 — in downtown Allen. And if he wanted to stop the band and do a concert, he did. I remember one time an 18-wheeler revved its engine at the band. I don’t know if anything was said or not but it was an uneven standoff as Mr. Allen gave him “a look” and that was the end of that. The band finished and marched off and, as usual, looking very sharp out in front of the little motorized procession. Although I was born here, I’m not an Allen graduate. My family left here in 1938 when I was 3 but 23 years later I made it back and I’m glad I did. Allen is a special community with some very special people in it. I live here by choice. I hope in the years ahead we can take some of that same positive energy (spell that hard work) that made Mr. Allen’s band will be used to make our school and community into something better — a better place to live and raise our children. Support your school officials as well as your hard working city employees. It’s an easy thing to gripe and complain about problems rather than pitching in and helping out. Remember, a little hard work by all of us keeping our yards cleaned up, the litter picked up out of our streets and parks, goes a lot further than gripping about it. It’s a great way to show respect for your neighbors and their property. Have another great weekend and be sure and go to church Sunday. Wayne Bullard, Pharm. D.

Our kids and sponsors came back happy, enthused about serving God, and already looking forward to going back again next year. It turned out to be quite a week. Our youth band made up of Sandra Howshar, Ashley Cross, Wyatt Deaton, Joe Howshar, and sponsor James Hammonds got to perform their music onstage, and had collected quite a following by the end of the week. Also, our campers earned bragging rights in several competitions. For the third year in a row, they won first place with their design for the T-shirt Witness contest; they won 2 of their four softball games; Donnie Crase Atwood Nazarene Father’s Day is a special day in the church. We need Christian fathers to guide our children. We are blessed if we have that heritage and we need to pray daily for those children without that influence. We had several in attendance Sunday, and many honored their deceased fathers by testifying of their greatness. Our Bible School began this week and we want to welcome your children. They are never too young to learn about the love of Christ. Our program will be Sunday morning at 11:00. We want to invite everyone to come. A family in our church, DeeDee and Bryan Smith, had their house burn this week. They are so thankful that Cole and Bryan got out alive. God is good, even though we don’t always understand the why of each situation. Our special, “Son, Go Bring my Children Home”, was sung by Truby and Gary DeShields. Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from 1 Samuel 2:27-35 and entitled “Fathers must not Fail.” God has clearly revealed to us what kind of men we should be. He has stressed to us the importance of putting first things first. As important as family is, God must be first. Until we love God with all our hearts we cannot love others as we should. The primary task of a “man of God” is to represent God to others. The father will set the spiritual tone of the family. It is critical that we “lift others to God,” by encouraging them, correcting them, and praying for them. Our choices have far-reaching consequences. God’s promises are conditioned upon our continued obedience. We put ourselves and our families in danger by our disobedience. The children are watching. They are evaluating what we say with what we do. We fool ourselves into thinking small compromises and little indiscretions are insignificant. Integrity is indispensable. Our families need us to be steadfast. They are under attack from all directions. It takes intentional effort to become a man of God. They need someone to show them how to navigate the dangers of life. Show them the way, don’t just tell them. They are following our lead. Where are they headed? Are we moving closer to God, or farther away. Is He at the center of our lives? If so, how can they tell? brought home the horseshoe championship; and then Donnie and Daxton Cox won the team horseshoe competition as well. Last, but not least, Chuck Karch made it to the semi-finals in the 3 Point Shoot Off. Who says preachers can’t jump? Since there were 78 churches at the camp this week, that is quite a record for one small church to achieve. Even more important was their spiritual growth. Lessons at the individual cabins focused on prayer, and we may never know how much it has enriched the prayer life of each person who participated in these classes. O n Wednesday evening the camp evangelist ate with the Atwood group. Master Chef Pat Hammonds was brought in for the event to assist the regular chef, Amy Lacy, so you know it was an outstanding meal. The menu included chicken fried steak with all the trimmings, but the dish that the evangelist took pictures of and called home to his wife about was the okra salad. G etting back to the regular schedule, though, next Saturday, June 23rd, will be movie and a meal night. From what I understand, sloppy joes are on the menu this time. Younger children need to be getting geared up for Vacation Bible School. It is scheduled for July 9-13th, and will be held each evening from 6:30 to 8:30. The theme this year will be Bible Boot Camp. Since this Sunday was Fathers Day, our church fathers were recognized with small gifts. (Have you ever noticed that, unlike Mother’s Day, they never ask the oldest father, the youngest fa- ther, and the father with the most children to stand?) Then Tom Spillman, accompanied by Wyatt Deaton on guitar, sang “When the Savior Reached Down for Me” as the special music selection. As always they did a great job on a song with a great message. Rev. Karch’s Father’s Day message was from Joshua 24:14 & 15. In these verses, Joshua declares that as for him and his family, they will serve the Lord. Then he makes a serious challenge to the other men of Israel that they do the same. God wanted fathers to be leaders and set an example for their household in serving the Lord. The children look up to their father and want to be like him. Also, there are very few wives who would refuse to go to church if the husband makes church a priority. As a rule, families spend their weekends in the way the father wants. If he goes fishing or skiing, that’s what the children want to do. If he makes time to go to church on Sunday, so will his family. The most important thing in forming a strong family unit is that they go to church as a family. Children who are brought up in the church and are taught the Word of God are almost certain to accept Christ as their savior. Even children who later stray from the Church will come back to it. Fathers who are there to watch over, protect, and firmly but lovingly train up their children to know right from wrong seldom have children who become involved in crime. For those men who haven’t had good fathers in the home, God has given scripture to guide them in being good fathers themselves. Matthew 7:9-11 is one example of these scriptures. F athers are challenged to prayerfully make everything that belongs to God a priority, and to commit themselves and their household to serve the Lord. If more men in our nation have the wisdom and courage to do this, it will be amazing how much life changes for the better—not only for individual families but for our nation as well. Thanks!

Thomas is the son of Hobert Boggs who owned the local paper in the 1950s; his brother, Richard, graduated with the AHS Class of 1952. Although Thomas never lived in Allen (he graduated in 1947 and was in services during the early 50s) he has fond memories of visiting here. He also shared with us an article his father wrote in the early 1950s. The editorial was so touching it was picked up by the National Guard’s magazine and also published, with permission, in The Daily Oklahoman. The Hand Has Writ A llen’s guardsmen are gone. Yesterday, as it were, many of those guardsmen were beardless boys. They sat around our soda fountains. They sauntered along our sidewalks. They mowed the family lawns. They wheedled for the privilege of driving the family car. Buy today, these same lads are not boys any longer. By one firm stroke of a pen they have become soldiers. With one thin note of a bugle they have garbed themselves fully in the accouterments of war. Their dawdling days are done. The adolescence is a thing of the past. One and all, they have come into a sudden inheritance of that sternest estate of manhood – the defense of their country. This trip to the marshlands of Louisiana is not a lark or a late summer vacation. It is an inevitable date with destiny. It is the preliminary of an unknown fare. It is as immutable as the moon in its course. The purpose of this errand is as steady and certain as the position of all the stars in their constellations.

The Allen Chamber of Commerce team participated for the 12th year in a row. Unfortunately, this year the Relay for Life happened to be the same date as Allen’s Alumni Weekend, so we had fewer participants than usual. Regardless, our team was able to raise $2,183.63. Pontotoc County raised over $127,000 total for the Relay. We would like to thank all who participated and who donated to help make this fundraiser a big success. We are already planning ways to contribute even more in 2013! will not be stopped until it has spent itself and subsided. For, already, their ears, and our, have heard the distant throbbing tones of the awful and ensnaring music of war. Some of these lads may never return to the quieter paths of life again. Let no one be deluded or deceived. The house of the world is divided against itself, and so, it cannot stand in its present unsettled condition. The lines of world conflict, already are drawn. The demarcations of zones of influence already have been made. These lines and these marks cannot be erased with words or wishfulness. So let all women’s tears be dried and let all men’s hearts be calm. Until those high criminals have been disposed of who sit in Moscow and plan another world totalitarianism, our Allen guardsmen have important work to do.

The “voter ID” law, approved by the 74% of Oklahoma voters on November 2, 2010, went into effect on July 1, 2011. “This new law requires all registered voters to show proof of identity in order to vote at the polling place on Election Day or to vote early at the County Election Board office,” McDaniel said. According to McDaniel, the law is very specific about the kind of document that can be used for proof of identity. “Any item used for proof of identity for voting must have been issued by the federal government, the State of Oklahoma, or a federally recognized tribal government.” In addition, the proof of identity must show the name of the person to whom it was issued, a photograph of the person, and must include an expiration date that is after the election date. Some documents that may be presented as proof of identity for voting include an Oklahoma driver license, a state identification card, a passport, or a military identification. Voters also may use the voter identification card they received by mail when they registered to vote. These cards are allowed even though they do not include a photograph or an expiration date. Special assistance will be offered to four groups of voters at the June 26th, Statewide Primary Election. Physically disabled voters who cannot enter the polling place, physically disabled voters who need help marking their ballots inside the polling place, blind or visually disabled voters, and illiterate voters may be assisted by a person the voter chooses. In all cases, a person providing such assistance may not be the voter’s employer or an agent of the employer or an officer or agent of the voter’s union. A person providing assistance also must swear or affirm that the voter’s ballots will be marked in accordance with the voter’s wishes.

MURPHY, Chair BOB ANTHONY, Vice Chairman Patrice Douglas, Commissioner DONE AND PERFORMED this _18th day of June 2012. BY ORDER OF THE COMMISSION: PEGGY MITCHELL, Secretary (Published in The Allen Advocate on June 21, 2012) THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JUNE 21, 2012 - PAGE 11 Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I normally do not respond in a letter to citizen’s comments concerning the Pontotoc County Sheriff’s Office or the Sheriff’s Office staff. I feel the recent Letter to the Editor submitted by Ms. Laura Pounders could not go without a rebuttal. I certainly agree with Ms. Pounder’s right to choose her candidate for Pontotoc County Sheriff and will fight for her rights to always make that choice. I do, however, believe her erroneous and false comments in reference to the most recent contact she had with the Sheriff’s Office should not go without response. The Pontotoc County Deputies are all well versed in the laws of the State of Oklahoma, are competent, honest, and respectful law enforcement officers. The Sheriff’s Office does have checks and balances, along with policies and procedures for handling citizen’s complaints, even when they are not legitimate. We do serve, protect, and show respect. The accusations you have levied are in reference to your dissatisfaction with the handling of the following case. I think most people will conclude this case was handled in a professional and correct manner. You were properly instructed as to the handling of this incident, but chose to ignore all instruction. On 05/15/2012 Ms. Pounders’ adjacent property owner called to report Ms. Pounders and two young men were trespassing on his property. The adjacent property owner stated he found Ms. Pounders and the two young men wandering around his property. When he asked what the three were doing on the property, all three trespassers stated looking for Ms. Pounders’ bull. The adjacent property owner, never being contacted about a missing bull being on his property, had doubts about the validity of the story. The adjacent property owner called for assistance from the Pontotoc County Sheriff’s Office. The adjacent property owner advised he needed a Deputy to respond and wanted to press trespassing charges against Ms. Pounders and the two young men. A very competent, honest, hard working, respectful and knowledgeable Deputy Sheriff was dispatched to the scene, responding promptly. The Deputy arrived and first made contact with Ms. Pounders at her residence. Ms. Pounders advised her two workers were being held against their will at gun point on an adjacent property. Ms. Pounders advised that she and the two young men went to the neighbor’s property to look for a missing bull. The adjacent property owner found her and the two young men on the property and the adjacent property owner started yelling at Ms. Pounders. Ms. Pounders advised she became frightened and went home. Ms. Pounders advised the adjacent property owner was now holding her two helpers at gun point against their will. The Deputy went to the adjacent property. The Deputy found Pounders’ adjacent property owner and the two young men waiting at a gate for the arrival of law enforcement. The two young men acknowledged they were waiting of their own free will, not being held against their will. Both young men advised no firearm was involved as Ms. Pounders had falsely reported. The two young men stated they were waiting with the adjacent property owner for the Deputy’s arrival to provide a statement as to why they were on the adjacent property owners land. A statement was taken from both young men and the owner of the adjacent property by the deputy. All parties story matched, except for the story Ms. Pounders provided. The adjacent property owner decided he did not want charges pressed against Ms. Pounders or the two young men. The two young men agreed to be transported from the area by a relative of the adjacent property owner. The two young men left without incident or complaint. The adjacent property owner advised he would find Ms. Pounders’ bull and return it to Ms. Pounders. The adjacent property owner advised the Deputy to tell Ms. Pounders not to come on his property again. The deputy advised Ms. Pounders what the adjacent property owner said, providing her with the telephone number of the adjacent property owner in hopes of resolving this on going problem. Ms. Pounders, it is hard for any person, even a professional law enforcement officer, to show respect to anyone who willfully lies to benefit themselves at the expense of others. I do have checks and balances in the Sheriff’s Office. I do, however, get all sides of any incident before making a judgment. The problems with you and your neighbors did not just start.

It is easy to write falsehoods when you are not facing the accused. I find the comments in your letter very offensive and they should not be allowed to stand. I have not used the names of the parties involved, but upon request any person can request a copy of the report submitted on this incident. I have talked Sheriff’s Office has been dealing with your poor animal husbandry and fence repair skills for many years. All your neighbors will verify this is as a true statement. Even with all you have said and done, the Pontotoc County Sheriff’s Office will always respond to your legitimate request for assistance. A legitimate request from you has never been the case in the past. Ms. Pound- with the adjacent property owner in this case and he will talk to anyone about the factual events that transpired between him and Ms. Pounders. Many of Ms. Pounder’s surrounding neighbors will also verify the many problems they have dealing with Ms. Pounders and her livestock. Respectfully, John G.
