Allen Robbery Suspects Captured
S hots were fired Friday
morning, March 9th, after an
Allen resident was robbed at
knife-point. Ira Iker shot the
red Chevrolet Avalanche as it
left his property. Quick action
by the Pontotoc County Sheriff
John Christian, assisted by his
deputies and the Chickasaw
Lighthorsemen, led to an arrest only minutes after the
incident.
Iker had returned to his home
Friday morning to find two
individuals, Jerry Lynn Beller,
60, Holdenville, and Dosha
LaDawn House, 44, Wewoka,
waiting on him and asking him
to purchase some old coins.
able items of Iker’s collection

at the bank, the couple made
off with several hundred dollars worth of coins. Iker was
told to remain in the house
while the thieves made their
getaway.
Immediately after the suspects left the house and entered
their vehicle, Mr. Iker took
matters into his own hands.
“He came out with a .22 caliber
rifle and fired several shots. He
hit the vehicle several times,
but did not hit the suspects.

Christian said. “We had a vehicle description, which was a

damage to it, plus bullet holes,

“ My hope was he would

conducted a felony stop, holding the suspects there until

Community
Building
Progressing
Work is progressing on the Allen
Community Building (also known as the A l u m n i
Building) in downtown Allen. Donations of $16,000
in addition to the SODA grant money of $34,000 have
allowed for the roof repair and the installation of the
air condition/heating unit. Both of which are almost
completed.
The next step in the renovation process will be
the electrical work. Estimate from the electrician is
$12,000. This will be followed by updating the plumbing, the addition of insulation, and then replacing the
ceiling tiles and drywall.
The goal of having the building useable for the 2012
AHS Alumni Reunion and Banquet is still doable with
hard work and additional donations. As can be seen,
a lot remains to be done and additional monies will
be needed.
Donations may be sent to the Allen City Hall,
Community Building Fund, PO Box 402, Allen, OK

Those who have made contributions to the fund are

Wayne Bullard is not only my dear friend but also my favorite
columnist. His recent column on weapons was my all time
favorite. When I read the following item I knew Wayne would
enjoy it.
Patrolman Patrick Irick writes that a while back he made a
traffic stop on an elderly woman. As she looked for her driver’s
license he noticed her conceal-carry permit.
“Do you have a weapon in your possession at this time?” he
asked.
“Yes, a .45 automatic in the glove box,” she said.
“Do you have any other firearms?”
“A 9mm Glock in the center console.”
“Is that all?”
“And a .38 Special in my purse,” she admitted.
I smiled. “What are you so afraid of?”
Looking me right in the eye, she said, “Not a damn thing.”

Jerry Smith brought by one of the most interesting articles I
have ever read. It was written by Jamie Robert Vollmer.
America’s public schools can be traced back to the year
1640. The Massachusetts Puritans established schools to: 1)
Teach basic reading, some writing and arithmetic skills, and 2)
Cultivate values that serve a democratic society (some history
and civics implied).
The founders of these schools assumed that families and
churches bore the major responsibility for raising a child.
Gradually, science and geography were added, but the curriculum
was limited and remained focused for 260 years. At the beginning of the twentieth century, however, politicians,
academics, members of the clergy, and business leaders saw
public schools as a logical site for the assimilation of immigrants

and the social engineering of
the citizens—and workers—of
the new industrial age. They
began to expand the curriculum
and assign additional duties.
That trend has accelerated ever
since.
From 1900 to 1910, we
shifted to our public schools
responsibilities related to
• Nutrition
• Immunization
• Health (Activities in
the health arena multiply every
year.)
From 1910 to 1930, we
added
• Physical education
(including organized
athletics)
• The Practical Arts/
Domestic Science/Home
economics (including sewing
and cooking)
• Vocational education
(including industrial and
agricultural education)
• M a n d a t e d s c h o o l
transportation
In the 1940s, we added
• Business education
(including typing, shorthand,
and bookkeeping)
• Art and music
• Speech and drama
• Half-day kindergarten
• School lunch programs
(We take this for granted today,
but it was a huge step to shift to
the schools the job of feeding
America’s children one third
of their daily meals.)
• Expanded science and
math education
• Safety education
• Driver’s education
• Expanded music and
art education
• S t r o n g e r f o r e i g n
language requirements
• Sex education (Topics
continue to escalate.)
• Advanced Placement
programs
• Head Start
• Title I
• Adult education
• Consumer education
(purchasing resources, rights
and responsibilities)
• C a r e e r e d u c a t i o n
(occupational options, entry
level skill requirements)
• Peace, leisure, and
recreation education [Loved
those sixties.]
In the 1970s, the breakup
of the American family
accelerated, and we added
• Drug and alcohol abuse
education
• Parenting education
(techniques and tools for
healthy parenting)
• Behavior adjustment
classes (including classroom
and communication skills)
• Character education
• S p e c i a l e d u c a t i o n
(mandated by federal
government)
• Title IX programs
(greatly expanded athletic
programs for girls)

It’s a ponderous list.
Each item has merit, and all have their ardent supporters, but
the truth is that we have added these responsibilities without
adding a single minute to the school calendar in six decades.
No generation of teachers and administrators in the history of
the world has been told to fulfill this mandate: not just teach
children, but raise them!

Threads of Life
by Cleo Emerson LeVally
I really enjoyed reading
the story of Peggy Snow in
last week’s paper. She is my
cousin and her mother and
dad, Beatrice and Alvin Self,
were the age of my two oldest
sisters, Vera Emerson Bodkin
and Mabel Emerson Heidler.
The three girls spent a lot of
time growing up together and
-- Memories --
they had many stories to tell of
those times.
M y sister Mabel was the
one who named Peggy’s
brother Derondo. I especially
remember Vera and Mabel
talking of their walks on
Thank You
The family of Clyde Dale sends heartfelt appreciation
to all who gave their time, love ad support during his
illness ad the loss of Clyde.
Every act of kindness was greatly appreciated and
will never be forgotten. Friends are so kind and dear
when sorrow is near.
Thank you for all the food, phone calls, prayers,
flowers, and cards.
We loved him dearly and will miss him. God called
him home and now we have an angel watching over
us.
We would especially like to express our gratitude
to:
Chad Kaminski for all the visits and especially the
night we needed him most. The Ladies of the First
Baptist Church for the lovely meal. Good Journey Home Health; Woodland Hills Nursing Home;
Criswell Funeral Home for taking good care of us.

the River Bridge outside of
Atwood. My family lived on
the Sam Irwin farm just past
the big bridge. That is where
my brother, Leon, was born.
I have gone back to visit that
site and always remember the
girls talking about the times
they had there.
One time the Emerson family
was planning a family reunion
and I asked Peggy’s mother,
Beatrice, and her sister, Ruby
Aldridge Quinn, to tape some
of their earlier memories of
when they grew up at Atwood.
They did the tape but laughed
so much telling the stories that
we could not understand anything they talked about. So I
had to call Beatrice and ask her
to tell me of some of the times
about growing up in Atwood.
This is the story that Beatrice
Aldridge Self told for that fam-
ily reunion.
She said she was always getting into trouble. She said one
of the things the kids liked to
do was put pins on the railroad
tracks and then they would go
and sit on the gate and watch
the trains go by. When the train
passed they would go down
to the tracks and pick up ‘the
little scissors’ that the train had
made from the pins.
She told that Ruby always
liked to primp and it took her
a long time to get ready to go
any place. So Beatrice would
have to do the chores, milk the
cows, do the dishes, etc., while
Ruby was getting ready. Then
all Beatrice would have time to
do was run a comb through her
hair. She said she had to humor
Ruby.
S he remembered visiting
Grandmother Emerson’s house
(Grandmother Abercrombie
by then, because Beatrice was
born in 1906 and Grandmother
had married Wilford Franklin
Abercrombie in 1903). She
said the house was yellow and
was a two-story house. (This
was the Scales Ranch, located
about ¼ mile East and ¼ or
½ mile South of the Leader
Corner and Highway 48. I always thought of it as between
the Leader Community and
Atwood)
One time Beatrice, Vera and
Mabel went to visit our Uncle
Albert and Aunt Minnie Valentine, brother of grandmother, Julia Maria, and they got
beaus. Vera liked her cousin
Vestal Valentine and Mabel’s
boyfriend was named Derondo. Beatrice remembers he
was very good looking. Mabel
did also so when Beatrice and
Alvin’s son was born, Mabel
asked if they would name him
Derondo and they did. He was
the only person I ever knew
who was named Derondo.

One
Pharmacist’s View
The row of old store buildings just stood there — no
roofs and no fronts, just native
stone walls and smooth cement floors. The walls made
for excellent nesting for the
countless sparrows that lived
there. My brother Gerald and
I thought this place was created for our personal pleasure
— one that included shooting
birds with our BB gun. Gerald
did the shooting — just had
one BB gun — and I carried
the sack — the sack that we
took the dead birds home in.
Saturday nights in Centrahoma were pretty dull — but
we didn’t know it. Those that
had a radio might just invite
friends over and sit around
listening to the Grand Old
Opry out of Nashville. Some
would drive over to Coalgate
and see a movie at Eddie Holt’s
Wigwam Theater. Times were,
after all, getting better now that
the war had started. Prosperity,
however, had mostly bypassed
Centrahoma. Then one day
my bird hunting brother and I
noticed activity at our hunting
place — the roofless buildings.
In the building on the corner
the floors were swept, wires
were being strung from wall
to wall.
“What’s happening?” Gerald
asked someone.
“ Gonna’ be a dance here
on Saturday nights from now
on” the man said. And he was
almost right — except for the
“now on” part.
The next Saturday night
cars were parked everywhere
alongside Highway 3. My
mom told Gerald and me to
stay in the house and “don’t
go near that place.” We had
never considered not attending
and the sun hadn’t been down
long before we crept out the
back door to give the big dance
the once over. They had a live
band and a big crowd as the
odor of spirits wafted across
the highway to our hideaway
in a nearby weed patch. People
were dancing and watching
the action, just like us. The
bootleggers were doing a good
job selling both homemade and
branded whisky along with
chock beer. I knew all this
because my worldly brother
knew and kept up a running
commentary on what he saw.
The preachers had a field day
the next day — denouncing
the evil operation to church
members (some of which had
probably participated in the
big event themselves.) As the
long summer weeks went by
the dance got bigger and folks
trying to listen to the Opry on
WSN (650 on your radio dial)
out of Nashville had to crank
up the volume to overcome
the loudspeakers installed
atop the stone building hosting the dance. There was so
much “trouble” that the Coal
County Sheriff’s Department
would send officers up there.
My Uncle J. C. said this was
done to collect kickbacks from
the bootleggers — not to police
the place. He would know.
People in the churches had
been praying to be rid of the
bawdy dance but didn’t expect
it to end in the way it did. The
dance had become a major
topic of conversation in the
area and when the event happened it spelled “The End” of
the great dance. That Saturday night we were, as usual,
listening to the Opry when we
heard the brakes and tires of a
speeding car, a loud crash and
the screams of the crowd as an
out of control Pontiac crashed
into some parked cars and
spectators. My brother and I
made the trip to the wreck in
record time and found some
injured people but the whole
scene was dominated by the
unending screams of a woman.
A woman had been impaled on
the floor-mounted shift lever.

Sandra Fluke, a law student
at Georgetown university made
headlines a week ago when she
testified before house Democrats regarding birth control
contraception being covered
by insurance. She testified,
“Without insurance coverage,
not exist. They would have
us believe that sexual relations
out of marriage are perfectly
alright and that whether homosexual or straight doesn’t
matter.
Satan would have us believe
that knowing God’s word and
obeying it is not important
because anything you believe
or want to do is alright. This
satanic philosophy is based
upon the premise that: 1). there
is no God, 2). that man (all life)
arose and evolved from nonliving matter, 3). that the Bible
is not from God and 4). that all
religions are based upon myths
and legends.
T hus, man is the highest
form of life in existence and
whatever man believes or does
is right and good if it works for
him. Let’s not be deceived!
God’s word says, “Marriage is
honorable among all, and the
bed undefiled; but fornicators
and adulterers God will judge.
(Heb. 13:4) And, Jesus said in
Revelation 21:8 that the sexually immoral “shall have their
part in the lake which burns
with fire and brimstone, which
is the second death.”

contraception prevention can
cost a woman over $3,000
during law school.” My first
reaction was, “why do students
need birth control?” and “Are
we who do not believe in immorality expected to help pay
for their immorality through
higher insurance premiums?
(Of course, some students may
be married.)
The majority in our society
do not seem to recognize any
activity as immoral! Satan has
convinced most people today
that it is wrong to condemn the
beliefs and actions of anyone;
that we must be accepting and
tolerate of all life styles. Most
people seem to believe that any
and every religious teaching
is approved by God and that
religious false teaching does
You could hear her for blocks
and by the time the ambulances
and officers got the scene
cleaned up, the dance was
done — for good. The place
was declared a public nuisance
and that week the electric
lines came down and the next
Saturday night all was quiet in
Centrahoma. Once in a while
if you listened real carefully
you could hear the thump of a
BB gun back in action.
Hope you are enjoying this
spring weather as much as I
am. Be sure and go to church
next Sunday.

I was overwhelmed and surprised and said nothing.
I’m truly blessed and privileged
to have been raised in Allen, left
town and back after many years
and able to give back to a community I truly love and respect.
I do thank the Allen Chamber
of Commerce of the City of Allen for their Citizen of the Year
award they honored me with at
the Chamber banquet. I will
continued to be involved and
support the needs of each project that makes this community
the great town it is.

However, at some point we are
to become spiritually strong
enough to bear our own burdens so that we can help others
with theirs.
Even in that we are not left
to struggle through on our own.
We can always seek the help of
Jesus. In fact, we are to take
our burdens to Jesus and leave
them there. Only then will we
be able to come away truly
victorious.
It is a law of nature that we
will reap what we sow. Sometimes, though, we think we’re
sowing one thing and we’re
actually sowing something
else. We may fool ourselves
and others, but we can’t fool
God. He knows what kind of
seeds we are sowing.
If we sow fleshly seeds, we
will reap corruption. If we sow
spiritual seeds, we will reap life
everlasting. With great wealth
comes great temptation for
more power and more wealth.
If we don’t give up on sowing
seeds of the Spirit, though, we
will reap a harvest that is many,
many times more valuable than
any worldly gains.
Atwood Church
of the Nazarene
Spring is in the air and we are busy preparing for the Easter
season.
In our Sunday School classes we are reviewing the last days
of Jesus life here on earth. In our worship service Bro. Larry
sang a song about the troubles of this world entitled “These Are
The Things That Drive Me Crazy.” Many things intrude on our
walk with God, but in the end He is in control.
Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from Exodus 20:1-10 and
entitled “God’s Expectations for Us.” He expects first place
in our lives. He is the Lord: Maker of Heaven and Earth, the
Redeemer of all the Saved, and the One who is worthy of all
honor, glory and respect. It is not sufficient to simply accept
Him as Savior. It is necessary to make Him Lord of our lives.
We must not allow anything else to capture our affections. We
need to be reminded that we are responsible for those who are
following us.
Are those following you following you into a deeper relationship with God? Do our lips say one thing, but our lives reveal
something quite different? He expects us to live up to the name
we claim. This commandment is for His people and it really
doesn’t say anything about speech. To claim a relationship with
God demands a life worthy of the claim. How many people
think poorly of God because of the actions of “Christians.”
He expects us to honor His day. God took time to make His
will quite clear in this area. It is not just another day. It is a
holy day to be set aside for rest and spiritual renewal and reflection. God says we are to make this day holy. Do we need to
re-examine our attitude toward the things of God? Especially
the Sabbath?
We invite you to join us for Wednesday night prayer meeting.
We have services for the teens and the younger kids. Sunday
morning we will be serving donuts, juice and coffee before
services. We invite you to come at 9:30 and join us.

A capacity crowd was on hand
Saturday night to witnessed the
murder of Ariel Swinger (aka
Marcy Thompson), the trapeze
artist with the Hargrove Family
Circus. The circus was performing at the Allen School Cafeteria
when the incident occurred.
Of course we’re talking about
the annual murder mystery dinner
hosted by the Allen School Art
Club and the Allen Sorority.
Guests and players alike then
tried to solve the clues and discover the culprit . . . and just so
you know, the Ruby the Clown
(aka Mary Engle), who have been
embezzling from the circus and
stealing from the customers, did
the deed.
A lively cast of characters
dressed the part and portrayed the
members of the circus. Acting as
the bossman, Harold Hargrove,
was Chad Kaminski; his wife
was portrayed by Christy Turman.
Ringmaster Boomer Jackson, the
voice of the circus, was Jonathan Hicks; ticket taker Finley
Fiscal was Grant Stinson; Ariel
Swinger, the victim, was Marcy
Thompson; Robert Flyer, Ariel’s
co-performer on the trapeze, was
played by Chad Nix;
Twisty Kristy, the acrobat was
Amber; knife thrower Nick Dagger was portrayed by Frayne
Black; Skylar Toppolet the tightrope walker, was Carolyn Phillips;
Mary Engle was sinister Ruby the
Clown; and James Barlow was
Cat Levens, the lion tamer;
Also working with the animals
was Ricky Mammal, aka Sue
Boyd; Rowan McGregor, the
midway director, was played by
Colten Browning;
Amber Ford did an outstanding job as Harley Bell, the circus
strong person; as did Charity
Stinson as Payton Protector, head
of security; and last but not least,
was FBI Agent Swift, played by
Amanda Tollett.
The play followed a circus-style
meal of hot dogs & chips, and a
variety of “midway” games were
available to be played throughout
the evening.
The Art Club and Sorority wish
to thank everyone who participated and are looking forward to
next year’s play.
Event coordinator Janice Deaton and animal worker Ricky
Mammal (Sue Boyd) worked hard to make the Art Club
Mystery Dinner a success.
Guests at the Art Club Murder Mystery dinner were well protected. Head of Security
Payton Protector and FBI Agent Swift (Charity Stinson and Amanda Tollett) were on duty
all evening.

In the Matter of the Estate of Arnita T. Langston, Deceased.
COMBINED NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND NOTICE OF HEARING
TO: All persons interested in the Estate of Arnita T. Langston:
You are hereby notified that on February 28, 2012, the Petitioner, B. Irene
Martin,5204 Woodhollow Road, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73121, filed in the District
Court of County, a Petition for Summary Administration. The Petitioner has alleged
that Arnita T. Langston, age 82, died on January 27, 2012, domiciled and residing in
Ada, Oklahoma and that the total value of the decedent’s property in Oklahoma is less
than $175,000.0.
Attached to the Petition is an instrument purporting to be a copy of the Last Will
and Testament of decedent. The Petitioner has asked this Court to admit the Will to
probate and order summary proceedings pursuant to 58 O.S. §245, et seq. On February
29, 2012, the Court did admit the Last Will and Testament of Arnita T. Langston to
probate and appointed B. Irene Martin and Danny D. Langston as Special Co-Personal
Representatives of her estate.
In an Order for Combined Notice entered on February 29, 2012, the Court found
that it should dispense with the regular estate proceedings prescribed by law, appoint
a Special Personal Representative instanter, order notice to creditors and issue an
order for hearing upon the Petition for Summary Administration, the final accounting
and petition for determination of heirs, legatees and devisees and distribution.
Pursuant to the Order for Combined Notice, all creditors having claims against
Arnita T. Langston, deceased, are required to present the same, with a description
of all security interest and other collateral, if any, held by each creditor with respect
to such claim, to the Petitioner, B. Irene Martin, c/o David Smith, P.O. Box 70, Ada,
Oklahoma 74821-0070, on or before the presentment date of April 9, 2012, or the same
will be forever barred. The claim of any creditor not shown in the petition will be barred
unless the claim is presented to the Special Personal Representative on or before the
presentment date.
Notice is hereby given that a hearing will be held on May 24, 2012, at 1:30 o’clock
p.m. at the Pontotoc County Courthouse, Ada, Oklahoma, before the Judge of the
District Court. At the hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Petition for
Summary Administration and the final account and petition for determination of heirs,
legatees and devisees and distribution of the estate by the Petitioner. The final account
and petition for determination of heirs, legatees and devisees and distribution will be
filed herein on or before May 3, 2012.
You are hereby advised that you must file objections to the Petition for Summary
Administration and the final account and petition for determination of heirs, legatees
and devisees and distribution at least ten (10) days before the hearing and send a copy
to the Petitioner’s attorney, David Smith, P.O. Box 70, Ada, Oklahoma 74821-0070,
or you will be deemed to have waived any objections. If you have no objections, you
need not appear at the hearing nor 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, whether summary proceedings are appropriate and, if so, whether the estate
will be distributed and to whom the estate will be distributed.

I wonder if Spettle’s theatre
wasn’t built on the site where
Millard Wilson’s filling station
(and rumored bootlegging outlet)
had stood earlier. Anyway, just
south of it was Thompson’s drug
store. It must have closed about
1933 when Mr. Thompson, I believe, moved to Ada and opened a
bookstore. Arthur Gaddy put his
cleaning and pressing business in
that or an adjacent building. The
next building up the street was
used as the American Legion hut
where dances were held on most
Saturday nights, at least when the
weather was good. In the summer when the doors were open,
my grandfather would often walk
up from across the tracks and
sit out front just to listen to the
music even if the band only had
a fiddle and a guitar. Sometimes
a mandolin would be added, but
vocalists seemed to be scarce.
Finally, on the of the west side
corner stood the First National
Bank, where my father worked
from about 1918 until it was
moved to Holdenville in 1934.
The building stood empty for a
time then was used as a library
of discarded reading materials.
(That could have been a WPA
project for all I know.) The
southwest corner of that building
also held a doctor’s office where
one morning in the summer of
1934 five of us had our tonsils
removed. For some unknown
reason I volunteered to go first.
Dr. McCary did the surgery, Dr.
Martin assisted, and Dr. Spettle
administered the open-drop ether.
“It stinks!” I insisted.
“ Just blow it out then,” Dr.
Spettle advised. It only took a
couple of such deep breaths, and I
was “out.” “Recovery” was in my
father’s arms in the waiting room.
As I awoke, I could hear Weston
Howell, one of the later patients,
also objecting to the anesthesia.
It was many years later before
it became clear that August was
probably the worst month of the
year to have a tonsillectomy. The
procedure weakened ones resistance to polio just at the time the
virus was at its peak. Fortunately,
none of us five succumbed.
Directly across the intersection
from the bank sat A. D. Brians
filling station although early in
the Thirties he moved his business to the Texaco station across
Highway 1 from the Methodist
Church and put in some tourist
cabins. Next up the street on the
east side Brooks Allen and Gus
Hardwick(?) had an ice house out
of which they made deliveries all
over town. In the winter months
they would deliver a load of coal
to your house if you wished and
at any time help you move your
belongings from one house to
another.
Gus also served as justice of
the peace. In that capacity he
performed the wedding of Ord
Griffin and Blanche Mauldin in
our living room. Ord’s shivaree
was the only one I recall participating in (although I was only
seven years old at the time).
We’ll work our way on up the
street next time.

several reports of domestic
violence, some forgeries and
bad checks. We even had an
armed robbery in Allen, now
that’s something I’m sure we
weren’t expecting at all.
I ra Iker was taken at the
point of a knife and, being
the Allenite he is, fought back
as soon as he was able to by
sending some hot lead toward
his robbers. I’m sure his quick
thinking and fast actions not
only helped to identify the
suspects who robbed him but
it also will make anyone else
think twice about robbing or
harming him or another Allen
resident. He reported the incident immediately allowing us
to get the information on the
Red Chevrolet Avalanche with
bullet holes occupied by a man
and a woman out in time for the
Sheriff to start down Francis
Road from Byng and locate
the vehicle. Items identified in
Allen FBC Host Youth
Disciple Weekend
Fifty-two students, along with team leaders, gathered at the
Allen First Baptist Church this Friday evening for the kick-off of
an INDWELL D-Now weekend. Disciple Now is a nationwide
youth movement to expand the Christian experience.
Following registration, a worship service featuring the music
of “We Were Fiction” was lead by the weekend speaker and
former Allen resident Steve Bullard. Steve now serves as youth
pastor for the Southern Hills Baptist Church of Tulsa.
Youth was then dismissed into their small groups and traveled
to their host homes along with their group leaders.
Staying at the home of Marty and Melissa Sells were the 7th &
8th grade girls and their leader Alyssa Gonzalez. Girls attending
were Alison Sells, Alycia Evans, Hannah Heck, Shannon Pedzinski, Taylor Johnson, Tiffany Johnson, Caitlin Riddle, Brandi
Thompson, Chelsea Wedlow, Faith Caldwell, Grace Laden,
Isabel Finney, Kayla Lawler and Jamie Allred.
Dennis and Mary Pat Sappenfield hosted the 9th & 10th grade
girls: Bethany Edmonds, Britten Wallace, Emilee Costner, Emily
Wade, Cierra Melton, Sandra Rowsey, Tosha Deatherage, Jessi
Merriman and Meagan Beavert. Leaders were Sammi Hembree
and Chelsea Jordan.
Wayne and Vicki Christian opened their home to the 11th & 12th
grade girls: Crissy Fenwick, Hailee Alcaida, Heather McCarn,
Jacklyn Deaton, Jessie Spencer, Catlin Gardner, Savanna Cook,
Shelby Millsap, Morgan Beavert, Annie Harrington, Ophelia
Rodriguez, Savanna Cook and Katie Back. Group leaders were
Kristin Hall and Allison Hall.
The boys were divided between the homes of Chad and Jill
Kaminski and Glenda Ferguson.
The younger students, 7th & 8th graders, were in the Ferguson
home. Those guests were Brett Mann, Jeffrey Deaton, Preston
Wallace, Dusty Matthews, Rush Black, Austin Thompson, and
Wyatt Corum. Leaders were David Bentley and Zack Gamble.
High school boys, grades 9th thru 12th, staying at the Kaminski
home were Aaron Mowery, Conner Johnson, David Barlow,
Jacob Gardner, Josh Remis, Justin Deaton, Matt McCarn, Steven Nelson, Tyler Mann, Lane Lambert, Bertin Leon and Jose
Velazquez. Group leaders were Matthew Stephens and Brandon
Morton.
Sam and Melonie Johnson hosted the band members, David
Raney of Edmond, Rick Cordova of Tulsa, and Austin Taylor
and Zack of Oklahoma City.
Saturday events included a luncheon cookout at the home
of Wayne and Pat Bullard, and a town-wide scavenger hunt.
Following the evening worship session at the church a bonfire,
complete with hot dogs and s’mores, was enjoyed at the Ferguson
farm in Gerty.
Sunday ended the event with the regular morning worship
service at the church, again led by Steven Bullard, and a potluck
lunch with family and church members.
Allen First Baptist Church youth pastors Steve and Kristen Hall
coordinated the event and wish to thank all the hosts, workers,
and those that attended for make it such an outstanding event.
the vehicle, description of the
vehicle and suspects matching
perfectly will make this a hard
case to weasel out of.
We had 17 new warrants issued in court Monday and so
far have closed four of those
with arrest and payment as of
the time of this update. I would
like to remind people we have
statewide jurisdiction on a municipal warrant and will travel
anywhere in the boundaries
of this state to arrest you. If it
comes to the point we have to
come get you then your costs
go up considerably, you have
to pay mileage, expenses, and
a minimum of an additional
$100.00 for the warrant.
We are working on code enforcement and, with mowing
season on us, I’d like to ask
you to please keep the yards
mowed and your areas cleaned
so that we don’t have to begin
an abatement process.
As always, I look forward to
any comments and questions
you may have so please feel
free to call or come by and see
me at the office or we can visit
anywhere in town you may see
me.
H ave a GREAT week Allen!
