How Holdenville Shaped Me
Several years back we asked
our good friend Dr. Steven
Pray to share some memories
about his growing up days in
Holdenville. It was one of the
most popular stories that we
have carried in the Tribune.
Since that time, we have a large
number of new subscribers who
have never read the story and
today we want to share Part
One of his memories.

As a university professor, I
spend hours sitting at my desk
creating examinations, planning
for the upcoming semester, and
carrying out scholarly activity.
Every once in a while, memories
of my lovely little hometown
of Holdenville break through.
The many things I was taught
in Holdenville help me every
day. For instance, I learned
every letter on the PowerMac
keyboard in Miss Nichols’ first
grade class at Diamond School.
I often remember a lesson in
English taught by Julia Davis,
or a life lesson taught by my
Cub Scout Den Mother Mrs.
Franklin Gault or my Boy Scout
Scoutmaster Lofton Crossno. I

of my hometown and I realize

overwhelming influence on my
life and career.

and walk the aisles in my mind,
just as I did then. I hope my
writing will strike a chord for
Bill’s readers.
I lived in Holdenville for
almost 15 years before moving
away in 1964. At that point, my
memories of living in Holdenville
ceased abruptly. I have a theory
that my memories of Holdenville
are somewhat unique, since I
was seldom able to revisit my
hometown after 1964. I did not
see gradual changes that occur in
any small town over the years,
such as new developments, new
businesses, and the inevitable
deterioration in some places.
Thus, when I remember being
in Mr. Heath’s marching band in
October of 1962, the stadium is
as clear in my mind as it was then.
When I remember Ben Franklin,

PAGE A-2—HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—OCTOBER 16, 2013
Recently my son Dane and I were cleaning out my garage. While
moving some boxes, a chicken ran out from behind a cabinet. Both
of us were startled. Dane said, “Did you see something run past
us?” I wish I had said, “No, did you?” However, I admitted that
I saw a chicken. Two days later I found nine eggs on the ground
inside the granchildren’s “fort” in our backyard.
Now the grandkids want to adopt it as a “pet.” My grandson
asked me if we could buy some chicken “toys.”
I do not want a pet chicken!
It is ironic that shortly after my “chicken story” that I found an
article about people keeping chickens as pets. The main problem
is that healthcare is hard to find for them. Apparently, they are not
covered by Obamacare.
Here is the story….
Chicken Owners Scramble When Their Pet Feels Foul
Craze of Raising Birds Grows, but Vets are scarcer Than Hen’s
Teeth
Seeking medical help for her beloved pet, Edie, who had fallen
ill, Martha Lazar quickly grew frustrated.
“I had a terrible time finding a vet here that would see a
chicken,” says Ms. Lazar, a 45-year-old freelance photographer
and casting director in Brooklyn, N.Y. She eventually found an
animal doctor across the bridge in Manhattan who knew parrots,
but the knowledge didn’t transfer. Some $300 later, Edie was still
in distress. Finally, after Ms. Lazar repeatedly poked around the
bird’s nether-feathers, a stuck egg popped out.
As a growing number of suburbanites and weekend farmers
raise poultry for fun, not just food, they are learning that top health
care is hard to find. In many cases, they are left to wing it.
Hens, roosters and other poultry can have unique ailments that
set them far apart from Fluffy and Fido. And even specialists wellversed on exotic birds may not know chickens, which are bred to
be egg-laying machines.
There are chicken experts: The American College of Poultry
Veterinarians has about 260 members in good standing. But the
vast majority work in the food industry, vets say.
“If there’s something wrong with a commercial chicken, it’s
‘Cut its head off and find out what’s wrong with the flock’,” says
Cheryl Greenacre, an associate professor of avian and zoological
medicine at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary
Medicine in Knoxville.
That doesn’t roost well with backyard bird fans, many of whom
hopped on the poultry bandwagon in search of self-sufficient,
grow-local lifestyles. Rob Ludlow, who runs the popular site
backyardchickens.com, says it “continues to grow like crazy,”
with membership recently topping 222,000. The U.S. Department
of Agriculture doesn’t track statistics on backyard husbandry, a
spokesman said.
Some people are going full farmer, collecting eggs and eating
birds, while others are more “helicopter chicken parents,” says Ms.
Lazar, who recently offered tips for battling chicken mites on her
blog, brooklynfeed.com. (Her chicken Edie eventually succumbed
to health troubles.) Owners may start with agricultural intentions,
but once the birds get whimsical names such as Ellen DeHeneres
and Yolko, they become more like family than food.
Indeed, diapered chickens are pecking around houses as
indoor pets. Or they have their own fancy digs: Gourmet cookware
purveyor Williams-Sonoma sells a $1,499.95 coop made of red
cedar “custom milled by a local, family-run sawmill” in Washington
state. Elsewhere, fans of both Middle-earth and poultry can buy
coops that look like Hobbit homes.
Some owners go the extra medical mile. Marli Lintner, a vet
in Lake Oswego, Ore., with chicken expertise, says she commonly
performs hysterectomies and stitches up fowl that have been
wounded by predators.
In Tennessee, Dr. Greenacre performed a surgery last month
to remove a clutch of stuck eggs from Dolly Poulet, a petite, white
chicken. Owner Stephen Brown, a 40-year-old in Knoxville who
runs giftware company Glitterville, spent roughly $2,000 but was
thrilled with the outcome after getting spurned by other vets, one
of whom told him chickens were “disposable” livestock.
But Dolly lives a life far from the henhouse. Actress and poultry
enthusiast Tori Spelling, with whom Mr. Brown worked on the TV
show “Craft Wars,” inspired him to get his first chicken, he said.
Dolly sleeps in a basket near her owner, has her own Twitter feed
and travels in a Ralph Lauren tote bag.
“She laid her first egg in the bed of a Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta,”
Mr. Brown says.
A spokeswoman for the two Ritz-Carlton hotels in Atlanta said
they had no knowledge of the chicken laying an egg there.
Meantime, Dr. Greenacre’s hospital recently saw a turkey beset
by seizures and respiratory problems. It got an MRI. In another
case, vets at the same hospital pulled 97 cents in change from a
duck.
But many poultry lovers don’t live near specialists or become
budget-conscious when their flocks grow. Enter the Internet, where
chicken-centric sites are rife with health tips, ranging from basic
care to grave diseases.
One discussion on backyardchickens.com delved into advice
for diagnosing and treating “vent gleet,” an unsightly infection.
Somebody wanted to know whether a chicken missing feathers
was getting bullied, or was merely molting. Owners also
frequently discuss over-the-counter drugs for other ailments, or
how to surgically empty the “crop,” a blockage-prone food-storage
pouch.
Experienced vets cringe at online treatments, some of which
they say are downright flighty. But Kathy Shea Mormino, a 45-yearold chicken owner in northern Connecticut, says necessity feeds
the DIY culture. She shares care tips on her website, the-chicken-chick.com, such as how to Super
Glue cracked beaks and treat an infectious problem called bumblefoot.
At-home surgery isn’t for the faint of stomach, yet Ms. Mormino’s YouTube bumblefoot
demonstration recently had more than 20,000 hits. A lawyer, she is careful to warn that she isn’t
giving professional medical advice.
On a recent afternoon in Ms. Mormino’s manicured backyard, about 40 chickens including Ms.
DeHeneres and Ally McBeak strutted around, scratching the ground or tailing her for food. Blaze, a
big rooster with black and copper feathers, was on high alert, possibly for local bobcats.
Blaze also took occasional breaks for not-so-private moments with his favorite hens, some of which
wore capes to protect from his claws. He was nearly felled in June by a fast-moving infection.
It started with an irritated eye that quickly swelled shut, and Blaze was “in my office, in the dog
bed, just flat out laying down,” Ms. Mormino says. Out of her depth, she worked the phones searching
for medical help. She found some from local vets eventually, and Blaze was saved, but the process
was frustrating.
“The challenge is to find someone who’s trained and experienced,” Ms. Mormino says.
But chicken pros say this is changing. Dr. Greenacre, who is wrapping up a book on backyard
birds, says the trend is a hot topic at vet conferences. “We’re responding to the need,” she says.
Meantime, owners such as Carolyn Hecht, a 73-year-old retiree on New York’s Long Island, are
ready to take poultry health into their own hands. She acquired her small flock, including hens Laverne
and Shirley, a few years ago to soothe her “total empty-nest syndrome,” and was also surprised when
local vets turned down the birds.
They have been healthy so far, but “I just received my shipment of 10 scalpels,” she says.

for higher education. During our
time there, our sons, Joshua and
Gabriel were born. We returned
to Weatherford in August of
1983 with me having completed
my Doctor of Philosophy in
Clinical Pharmacy/Pharmacy
Practice, and have lived here
ever since. My career focus
in the last twenty years has
revolved around the study of
nonprescription products. I
have written almost 300 articles
for the pharmacy and medical
literature, and I authored four
best-selling university textbooks
(you can see two in the
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
website). I have given hundreds
of hours of live continuing
education lectures to physicians,
pharmacists, nurses, and lay
people across the country and in
Canada. I have consulted with
pharmaceutical manufacturers
and industry leaders in such
confidential areas as product
launches, employee educational
efforts, new product design and
patent exploration. I have given
satellite broadcasts to thousands
of pharmacists all over the
country. I have been a media
consultant, crossing America to
give interviews on television,
radio and to newspapers. I
have served an expert witness
in several legal proceedings,
such as the lawsuits against
phenylpropanolamine, the oncepopular nasal decongestant.
When all of these activities
are put together, I am always
surprised to find that I am
considered by many of my
colleagues to be the country’s
top expert in nonprescription
products. I do want to stress that,
for the success I’ve achieved, in
addition to my amazing parents,
I also owe homage and gratitude
to Holdenville and its highly
effective school system.
I’ll provide more of Mom and
Dad’s early history later, but after
serving as a Marine in World
War II, Dad married Mom in the
parsonage of the First Methodist
Church in October of 1946.
They lived at 111 South Lowe
when I was born in 1949. What
do I remember about my earliest
days in Holdenville? The other
residents of South Lowe in the
early 1950’s were the Burchetts,
McAlyeas, Leepers, Chesnutts,
Bartletts, Throckmortons, and
Mrs. Blackburn (I believe I’ve got
them right). My little playmates
were Judy (later Judee) Chesnutt,
Judy Leeper, John Leeper, Butch
Leeper, Randy Ball, and Tommy
Vannoy. We played tag, hide and
seek, and ran freely from yard to
yard. Judee Chesnutt and I once
pulled up all of a neighbor’s
freshly planted onions. I vividly
remember how much fun it
was to pull those plants out of
the ground. I must have been 5,
and Judee was perhaps 4. Judee
and I both remember getting
in trouble for that, as our dads
had to go replant every last little
onion. One day in 1953 or 1954,
Judee Chesnutt’s mother called
my mom to tell her Judee had
chickenpox, and I should not
come over to play. (Judee and I
watched Howdy Doody and the
Mickey Mouse Club every day
at one of our houses.) Mom told
me not to go over to Judee’s,
but a little later she missed me.
She looked down the street and
saw my tricycle parked in front
of Judee’s house. My rat terrier
Trixiegirl was sitting next to
my trike waiting for me. Sure
enough, I got chickenpox within
a couple of days.
There is a train track at the
end of South Lowe. I constantly
heard trains going by our house
when I was little, and to this
day hearing trains is a soothing
kind of noise to me. In 1953 I
was playing down there and I
put a rock on the railroad track.
Later, during my naptime, I
started crying. Mom asked if
I was OK, and I begged her to
let me go get the rock off of the
track so all the people on the
train wouldn’t be killed. She
told me they’d be OK. I used to
spend a lot of time watching a
green shiny pulsing light from
the back porch at South Lowe.

Mr. Ginter told me about the oil
deposits and their origins in the
dinosaurs. Mrs. Ginter told both
of us about collecting fossils.
They took me to collect fossils
at “Fossil Creek” outside town.
I still have many of the fossils
we collected. After Mr. Ginter’s
death, Mrs. Ginter also gave
me some of the fossils he had
collected while was searching for
oil. Those fossils line the garden I
keep in our back yard. They gave
us old National Geographics
and other materials designed
to arouse our curiosity. Their
influence has persisted to this
day and my lifelong fascination
with paleontology, archaeology,
excavations, ancient relics, etc.

by several older girls who told
me I had to get out. And NO, I
could not just go ahead and use
the bathroom before I left. Hey,
it wasn’t my fault. I was there to
learn to read, after all. Who knew
what “Girls” or “Boys” on the
bathroom door meant at the age
of 5? Oh well, I guess making
fundamental mistakes like that
was an early introduction to the
apparent unfairness of life for a
little kid.

I also learned that the lunchroom
would be a trial. I was a picky
eater, and I had to have the foods
separated on the plate. At home,
Mom accommodated me, even
cutting the crust off of my bread.
No such consideration at lunch
at Diamond! If we didn’t eat
all of the food on our plate, we
couldn’t go out to recess before
school took up again. They had
the nerve to serve me green
peas, which I hated for years. I
had the bright idea to drink all
of my milk, after which I could
hide my green peas inside the
milk carton. Of course, when
I tried my astounding magical
disappearing peas act, I was
caught—I don’t know what they
did to me, but it couldn’t have
been worse than having to eat
those nasty little green peas.
After that, on “pea day,” I just
missed a recess.
The principal at Diamond
was Marie Lewis in 1955-1956,
and Mr. Eric. M. Hunter for
grades 2-6. The Superintendent
was Francis Tuttle. Miss Jewel
Nichols was our first grade
teacher at Diamond. She had
never married, and absolutely
devoted her life to us. We saluted
the flag, and we also had an
opening and closing prayer for
the day. She read us a chapter
of “The Boxcar Children” each
day, starting in me a love of
reading that has never ceased.
(To this day I read two novels,
biographies, or history texts each
week). She taught us to count,
clapping her hands to remind us
to change from the twenties to
the thirties and from the thirties
to the forties, etc. I felt loved and
cared for as her student One day
she was taking our lunch money
and giving us change. She did
not have the correct change, and
said to us, with a grin, “Miss
Nichols hasn’t got any nickels!”
She had a sandbox in the room,
and we spent time making little
towns and creations in it. I was
fortunate to be able to visit her
in 1975, when I was living in
Norman attending graduate
school. She showed me the
photos of the many students she
had taught, and even remembered
the name of my sister. I told her
how much I loved and admired
her for how she nurtured us. She
passed away shortly after and
I will always be thankful that
I was able to let her know how
much I respected her.
Since
there
was
no
kindergarten in those days,
we were all literally thrown
together into the classroom
with a roomful of kids we had
never met. We were expected
to master the rudiments of
reading, writing, and arithmetic,
while also learning the social
skills, such as sitting still, not
talking, playground etiquette,
waiting in lines, not pushing,
not “scuffling,” (anyone ever try
to look that up in the dictionary
later to see what THAT was?). I
think it was a general word for
whatever we were doing that the
teacher wanted us to stopÖ.I lost
count of the times I was told, “
Now Steven, quit scuffling!” I
was not a model student. One
day during prayer, I stole Bonnie
Abernathy’s Tootsie Roll. She
opened her eyes and was amazed
to find it gone. Of course, I acted
like I didn’t know anything about
it. I’ve always felt a little guilty for
being a covetous and larcenous
little 5-year-old. Sorry, Bonnie. I
wish I’d confessed sooner!
Attending first grade in 1955
was a daunting task for a little
kid. We had to learn all of the
academic content, but we were
also required also find our place
in the pecking order of grade
school. It was an especially tough
time for me as the youngest and
smallest boy in the class. I was so
skinny that if I turned sideways, I
disappeared. Well, if you’ve got
the smallest kid in the first grade,
he’s going to be a natural target
for those bigger and older kids
who want to feel better about
themselves by bullying someone
else. In 2006, schools are
developing active intervention
and counseling programs to stop
bullying, but there was no help
for us in 1955-1961.
For me, the active bullying
started in the early days of the
first grade when an older kid I’d
never met told me to meet him at
recess. Not knowing I even had
the right to refuse, I did. He asked
me why I had done such a bad
thing when we were all walking
home yesterday. I was a clueless
5-year-old, and asked him what
I had done. He told me I knew
good and well what I had done,
and I had better apologize. I told
him I wanted to know what I had
done, so I would know what I
was apologizing for, but he never
seemed to want to share that part
of the story. For several weeks
he tortured me psychologically
(never
physically,
thank
goodness). He persisted in his
sadistic little game of blaming
me for the nameless transgression
every time he saw me, and to this
day I cannot imagine what drove
his twisted mind to play with a
helpless little kid. Of course, he
forbid me to tell my parents or the
teachers. I’ve long since forgiven
him, but I did want to reveal to
others that may have been his
victims that they were not alone.
What did that experience do
to me that was constructive? To
this day, I have an overwhelming
need to work for the underdog,
to help those who cannot help
themselves, to fight against the
multinational corporate monoliths
that oppress the helpless and
hopeless. When I see companies
marketing products that are
worthless, I act as the protector
of the common people, exposing
the lies of the corporations. In
my writing, I never hesitate to
attack the large companies and
national associations directly
when I feel that they are doing
wrong. My service to justice is
also much more personal. I serve
many hours each month as the
volunteer Pharmacy Director
of a church-based free clinic in
Weatherford, getting medications
to those who need them without
charge. I volunteer at a churchbased food distribution service,
getting food at a steep discount
to the hungry. My wife and I
have gone on a medical churchbased mission trip to Rio Bravo,
Mexico, serving in a free clinic
pharmacy there for several days.
In these and other ways, I try
to see that the downtrodden get
justice.

Wolverines visit Stroud for Thursday showdown
Holdenville coming off painful 38-13 loss to visiting Okemah Panthers
By HERMAN BROWN
Holdenville correspondent
The Holdenville Wolverines
are busy preparing for one of
their stiffest test of the 2013
football season. Coach Don
Padgett’s HHS squad travels to
Stroud this week to battle the
high-flying Tigers in a District
2A-5 contest.
Holdenville and Stroud will
kick off the game at 7:30 p.m. at
Tiger Stadium.
Both teams are coming off
losses. Holdenville fell to 1-5
overall and 0-3 in the district
race. The Wolverines were beaten 38-13 by the visiting Okemah
Panthers.
Stroud is 5-1 overall and 2-1
in 2A-5. The Tigers were upset
13-0 at Meeker.
You can bet Stroud will be
hopping mad when Holdenville
arrives for their league contest.
As reported earlier, Stroud was
the clear favorite to win the district title. Coach Chris Elerick’s
Tigers were 11-2 last season.
They finished the regular season
with a near-flawless 9-1 record.
Stroud earned playoff victories
in the first and second rounds of
post-season play. Their playoff
run ended with a loss in the state
semi-finals.
The Tigers lost, to graduation,
their quarterback and top running
back. However, Coach Elerick
has capable replacements for his
quarterback vacancy in senior
Marc Gooch (6-0, 165). The
running back duties will be filled
by junior Alex Boodt (5-11, 195)
and sophomore Gage Wright (60, 175). The top aerial threat
will be senior Austin Dunn (5-9,
165).
Stroud fans will need a program to know all the new names
on the 3-4 Tiger defense. SHS
will look to the three linebackers
to lead the stop troops. The trio
includes junior Wade McCracken (5-10, 180), senior Ethan Kee
(5-11, 190) and senior Clayton
Cullem (5-9, 195). Senior defensive end Mason Pike (6-4,
245) will provide the muscle to
stop the run. Pike also gives the
Tigers a bull-rush ability to blow
up plays in the backfield.
Despite heavy graduation and
thin upper-classmen numbers,
the tradition-rich Tigers were
expected to land atop the district
standings at the end of the regular season. They were ranked
No. 9 in Class 2A, according to
VYPE.
As for Holdenville, the Wolverines will be looking to get
back in the win column. Despite being a big underdog, HHS
knows that the favorite doesn’t
always win. They need only look
at the Oklahoma vs Texas game
last Saturday to be re-assured.
Last Friday, Holdenville could
not match Okemah’s offensive
production or scoring. The Wolverines managed 205 yards of
total offense and 13 points. Okemah countered with 411 yards
and 38 points.
Okemah used a strong running
game to control the clock. OHS
ran a total of 69 plays to the 38
snaps by the Wolverines.
The Panthers’ ball-control offense burned off more than 8
minutes on their first touchdown
drive. They ran 21 plays before
scoring 3 seconds into the second quarter. Quarterback Tack
Murray finished a drive with a
1-yard TD run. He also added
the conversion run for an 8-0
lead.
Holdenville didn’t need 8
minutes to answer. In fact, HHS
used only 15 seconds to find the
end zone. Running back Bobby
Rivera galloped 67 yards for a
touchdown, scoring at the 11:42
mark. However, the Wolverines
failed on their conversion run to
remain behind 8-6.
Okemah managed one more
touchdown in the second period.
Josh Whisnant snared a 15-yard
TD toss from Murray with 22
seconds remaining in the half.
Randall Locust followed with
a conversion run to lift the Panthers to a lead of 16-6.
After intermission, Okemah
struck for two third-quarter
touchdowns to blow open a
30-6 lead. Randall Locust began
the effort with a 9-yard TD Run
at 5:06. Locust then chipped in
the conversion run to make it
24-6.
The next Okemah score came
at 4:32 on Colby Shandy’s 30yard TD -pass from Murray to
get the Panthers on top 30-6.
Holdenville responded with
Bobby Rivera’s 2-yard touchdown run with 1:42 left in the
third quarter. Johnny Bialas
then drilled a PAT kick to cut the
deficit to 30-13.
The only other scoring in the
game came in the fourth quarter. Okemah used Isaac Landers’ 3-yard TD run and Locust’s
conversion run to make it a 3813 lead with 4:26 remaining.
The 38-13 would prove to be the
final score in the contest.
Okemah’s 411 yards of total
offense included 279 yards rushing on 62 carries and 135 yards
passing on only 4 receptions.
The Panthers also recorded 20
first downs.
Holdenville ended up with 9
first downs and 205 total yards.
The Wolverines rushed 30 times
for 188 yards. Bobby Rivera
was the most effective runner
with 10 carries for 131 yards
and 2 touchdowns.
Three other players added positive yardage, including Justin
Scott with 27 yards on 6 carries,
Jaret Sherrin with 23 yards on
4 carries, and D’Angelo Moore
with 18 yards on 8 carries.
Holdenville added 17 yards
passing against Okemah. Ryan
Sherry linked up with Ross
Beeler for the team’s only com-
pletion.
Defensively, Holdenville had
6 players finish the night with
double-digit totals in tackles.
Ross Beeler and Colton Fredrick were tops with 16 tackles
each. Dylan Armstrong added
15 tackles, including 2 stops for
-3 yards. Jaret Sherrin and Jason
Scott were also rock-solid with
14 tackles each. Bobby Rivera
joined the elite tackles list with
13 stops.
Looking ahead, the Wolverines will need their best performance of the season to match up
against the dangerous Stroud Tigers. Strong fan support would
be very helpful for Coach Don
Padgett and his band of Wolverines.

Threads of Life.......by Cleo Emerson LeVally
The American League Baseball playoffs are this week and
I do not think historians have
ever come up with the origin of
the game of baseball. I once read
in the Life of Paul Bunyan a description of a game he played in
his youth called Tip-Cat or Cattie. The cattie was a round piece
of wood, usually part of a broom
handle, one inch thick and six
inches long, sharpened to a sloping point at each end so that
when the point was hit with the
bat or stick, the cattie bounces in
the air and is then knocked as far
as possible with one stroke of the
bat. That may well have been the
start of the game. Paul Bunyan
was born in 1628 and wrote Pilgrim’s Progress.
History records that about
1905, Albert G. Spaulding, who
was a great baseball player in
his youth and subsequently even
more famous as a manufacturer
of baseball equipment, appointed a committee to study the history of baseball. After about two
years of study the committee
came up with some information
that caused them to name Abner
Doubleday as the inventory of
the game. Their information was
based on someone telling some
school boys on how the game
should be played. However, in
Mr. Doubleday’s obituary in the
New York Times in 1893, no
mention was made of any connection by him to the game of
baseball.
Years ago, the opening day of
the baseball season was accepted
as a big day in baseball and in
some cities, it was a holiday. Parades were held and the players
were cheered as they arrived at
the park. In 1910, Clark Griffin,
then owner of the Washington
Senators, was able to get William Howard Taft, the President
of the United States, to come out
to the ball park and throw out the
first ball, thus starting a baseball
tradition.
Probably the funniest day in all
of baseball happened on opening
day in Brooklyn in 1913. That
was the day a brand new field
called Ebbets Field was to open.
Charley Ebberts had built this
field for his Brooklyn Dodg-
ers. The morning of
the great day came
but nobody could buy
a ticket. The ticket
sellers failed to show up. Finally
they were able to man the ticket
booths where thousands were
lined up to buy tickets.
However, no one could get
in the park because the keys
could not be found to open the
gates. Locksmiths were called
and the police were on hand to
try and calm the thousands of
ticket holders. The gates were
finally opened and the festivities started. Then began the parade with Charley Ebbets and
the Mayor New York, followed
by players of both teams and an
assortment of celebrities. When
the procession reached the flag
pole to hoist the flag, no one had
remembered to bring the flag!
A flag was finally produced,
ceremonies completed and the
opening contest began. The
teams took the field and the
Brooklyn pitcher struck out the
first batter. It was then remembered that the guest of honor, the
History of Baseball
was stopped for
this event to take
place. They disMayor of New York City, had
not thrown out the first ball in regarded the first out. The mayor
traditional ceremony, The game threw a ball and the game began
all over again.
This is just one of many great
baseball stories told over and
over again through the years.
Just another thread in the game
of life.

HSPS to Host Book Signing
Author Naomi Tomlinson
will be honored at a reception and will be signing her
newly publish book of poetry
“Rhymes & Rythms of Life”
at the HSPS Art Center, 118
N. Broadway, Holdenville,
on Sunday, October 20, 2013
from 1:30 to 3:00 pm. The reception will be hosted by the
HSPS Art Center. You are also
invited view the fall art show
while there.
Naomi is a gifted writer and
poet. Her love of poetry began
in her childhood. One of the
first poems she learned was
“Where Indian Children Used
To Play” was when she was
eight years old. She can still
remember the poem today.
Naomi loves reading poetry
– sometimes for fun and sometimes for consolation. Naomi
said, “There are three main
things I enjoy about poetry. I
love reading it for pleasure.
I’ve greatly enjoyed teaching
it, and I’ve come to feel a sense
of fulfillment and comfort by
expressing my own emotions
through poetry.” “I like a poem
which touches the heart like
Keat’s “When I Have fears that
I may cease to be.”
After years of studying and
teaching other poet’s work, I
began attending workshops
and sessions purely for the experience of enhancing my own
work.
“Since I was a teacher for so
long, I’m often my own worst
critic. Often I’ve tossed a poem
aside, not quite satisfied with
the way it was going, only to
pick it up later, decide it has
some merit, then I revise and
finish it.”
Naomi extends a special
thanks to the Art Center and
the Rose Garden Club and
especially Yvonne Huser for
hosting this signing. She also
extends her thanks to her
friends at OBU for the celebration party and to all her friends
at First Baptist Church for their
support. Also, she expressed
her love and thanks to the Art
Center and Rose Garden Clubs
for allowing her to share her
poetry through “the thought of
the day” for past few years.
She also expresses her appreciation to her three great critics
and helpers: Judy, Johnnie and
Randa. “You’re the best!”
You Are Invited

“Rhymes & Rythms of Life”

I received a picture from
our good friend Alex Lesueur
that was taken during his
90th birthday celebration. I
misunderstood when he said he
was going to send me a picture.
I had it in my mind that he was
sending me one of he, Wilton
Dillon and Bill Akins when
they were younger. By now
Alex and Wilton both know
what a true blonde I am!! I’m
sorry I stay so confused!
This is an excellent picture
of Alex with his wife and son.
He also sent us a menu from his
birthday celebration. It made
my mouth water when I read it.
I am going to share it with you
today.
Dear Bill & Dayna,
I hope you are not
disappointed in this picture,
but it is a picture taken at my
90th birthday celebration of me,
my wife, Joan, and our son,
Alex, Jr. You said in the paper
you were expecting a picture of
me with Wilton and Bill. That
would have been difficult.
In one of the papers you
had pictures of some of the
football players back in the
30’s. One of them was Don
Toothaker. I think not many
people there would remember
him. His father was Dr.
Toothaker, Rector of St. Paul’s
Episcopal Church. The name
is pronounced tooth-uh-ker.
Dr. Toothaker had been trained
as a medical doctor, but he did
not practice medicine, at least
not in Holdenville.
I am sorry not to have sent
the picture sooner, but, as they
say, “Better late than never.”
Sincerely,
Alex Lesueur

We had a surprise visit from
the Frederick brothers, J.E.
(and his daughter Cindy),
Bert and Gayle (and his wife,
Geneal). Bert said they stopped
and visited Laverne Barnes
on their way through Plano,
Texas. Laverne has been very
ill and needs our prayers. She is
always the one who is checking
on everyone else and now we
need to be checking on her. You
can send her a card at: Laverne
Barnes, 3544 Leathertop Dr.,
Plano, Texas 75075-1734.
I really enjoyed my visit
with the Fredericks. They had
gotten together and Gayle and
Geneal’s home in Sulphur for a
family reunion and had a great
time together. They decided
to drive to Holdenville to
reminisce about the “good old
days” and we are so happy they
stopped by the Tribune office.
Their mother, Hazel, was a very
dear and precious lady to me.
We owe a huge apology to
Gayle and Geneal. We failed
to run the article on their
50th Wedding Anniversary,
which was held in June. We
congratulate them on 50 years
of marriage and wish them
many more healthy and happy
years together!
