Wilburn Smith Center To Be Dedicated
May 8th At East Central University
HHS Graduate Influenced Many Careers
Wilburn Smith was living his
dream in Holdenville, Okla.,
during the late 1970s. He was
serving as manager of the local IGA grocery store, working
hard each week, with the promise of ultimately being offered a
chance to purchase the thriving
business.
Then something unexpected
happened.
The store owner, for whom
Smith had worked for over a decade, sold the business out from
under him. The promise of ownership disappeared and, in 1980,
with no other training and no
other prospects, Smith took his
cousin, Mike, up on an offer: to
sell Pre-Paid Legal plans.
Taking a leap of faith, Smith
launched a career that would
span three decades and see him
rise to the role of president of
a New York Stock Exchange
company. Along the way, his
grocery store salary would be
eclipsed and multiplied … by
hundreds.
“Wilburn was never afraid of multi-level marketing and the tobiography, “The Pre-Paid Lework,” said his wife, Carol. “He ensuing growth spurt was al- gal Story,” that “our entire sales

and consistent – described his
work ethic and dedication.
“This business (sales) is
simple, but it’s not easy,” he
frequently told the audiences.
“You have to get used to being told ‘no’…some will, some

Smith knew what he was talking about when he said the business wasn’t easy. At least twice

Linda McClenon writes that she was glancing over the cover of
a women’s magazine she had just bought. One title caught her
eye: “Men’s Secret Fear About Their Working Wives.”
She decided to get a first hand account. “What’s your innermost
fear about my working?” she asked her husband.
“That you’ll quit,” he promptly replied.

All of our readers have above average intelligence. With
that in mind, it is now time for the “Quiz for Bright People.”
There are only nine questions. This is a quiz for people who
know everything. I found out in a hurry that I didn’t. These
are not trick questions, they are straight questions with straight
answers.
1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the
participants know the score or the leader until the contest
ends.
are small, and wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season.
When the p-ears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.
Three English words beginning with “dw”: Dwarf, dwell and dwindle.
Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar: period, comma, colon, semi-colon, dash,
hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation mark, brackets, parenthesis,
braces and ellipses.
The only vegetable or fruit never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked or in any other form
but fresh: Lettuce.

4. What fruit has seeds on the outside?
5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real
pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the

pear get inside the bottle?
6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters
‘dw’ and they are all common words. Name two of them.
7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can
you name at least half of them?

Some of you may have read about the owner of a restaurant
near Pittsburg that has banished children under the age of 6,
saying they regularly disrupted other customers’ meals.
The move has touched a nerve and led to television and radio
interviews from as far away as Australia for Mike Vuick, owner of
McDain’s Restaurant and Golf Center in Monroeville, Pa.
It has also sparked strong opinions among those who applaud his
decision and those against it. Mr. Vuick said he had received 2,000
emails, running 11-to-1 in favor of his decision.
“I’m doing this on behalf of all the kind, refined people who have
emailed me who have had meals ruined,” said Mr. Vuick, a former
high-school sociology and psychology teacher. “I’ve decided
someone in our society had to dig their heels in on this issue.”
One regular patron, Stephanie Kelley, said she was upset her
13-month-old son, Jamison, would no longer be welcome as of
Saturday, the day the ban takes effect. She said she emailed Mr.
Vuick to suggest he ban kids after a certain hour or partition off
a kids-only area, but he said he wouldn’t budge. “All children do
not have meltdowns, and I don’t feel I should have to suffer the
repercussions,” she said.
Ms. Kelley, who said she has dined at the restaurant weekly for
the past three years, doesn’t plan to eat there again.
She may be the exception. On Tuesday night, receipts at the 60seat restaurant, which is attached to a golf-training facility with a
driving range and putting greens, were up 20%.
Mr. Vuick’s story spread after he emailed regular customers about
the ban last week, and a customer phoned a local TV station.
A poll on the website of a Pittsburgh TV news channel found
64% supported the under-six ban, compared with 26% who said it
was a bad idea. About 10% said they didn’t care. More than 10,000
people voted.
How would you have voted?

Quiz Answers:
1. the one sport in which neither spectators nor the participants
know the score or the leader until the contest ends: Boxing.
2. North American landmark constantly moving backward:
Niagara Falls. The rim is worn down about two and a half
feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that
rush over it every minute.
3. Only two vegetables that live to produce on their own for
several growing seasons: Asparagus and rhubarb.
4. The fruit with its seeds on the outside: Strawberry.
5. How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle? It grew inside
the bottle. The bottles are placed over pear buds when they

with serious illness, including a
battle with cancer in the 1990s
that left him in intensive care for
over 50 days.
It was during those times, he
said, when the true beauty of his
business emerged: he continued to be paid on memberships
he had sold as well as those his
organization sold while he was
unable.
Over the last decade, Smith
continued in his role as national
marketing director for the company. His health had continued
to decline and he was faced with
the need for a kidney transplant
as well as other ailments. Still,
his business thrived and his income grew.
Ultimately, Smith lost his battle with the many health issues
that plagued him over the last
five years of his life. He passed
away in May of 2011 and hundreds of friends traveled to Ada
to show their respects for the
man who had influenced their
lives in such a positive way.
His wife, Carol, decided to
memorialize his work ethic and
“persistent and consistent” message. A $250,000 gift to East
Central University allowed
for the creation of the Wilburn
L. Smith Center for Entrepreneurship inside the Harland C.
Stonecipher School of Business. The center will be a focal
point of the school, permanently affixing Smith’s name with
Stonecipher’s name.
A formal program announcing the Wilburn L. Smith Center for Entrepreneurship will
be held on May 8 at ECU. This
luncheon event is part of the
school’s annual “Entrepreneur
of the Year” recognition made
available via the Leonard Limes
Endowed Lecture. Several of
LegalShield’s top sales people
will be on hand for the event
to comment on the influence
Wilburn Smith had on their careers.
About 20 years ago I watched
as the “Governor’s Trophy” (a
big gold looking cowboy hat)
was awarded to the winner—
Oklahoma. Well, as so often
happens, OU won that year and
much to my surprise one of the
OU players put it on and went
gallivanting around showing
off his spoils. This was the
first time I had seen such a
relaxed attitude toward such an
expensive showpiece, especially
a traveling trophy. I wondered
what would happen if such an
important artifact would get
damaged or even lost.
I thought of all that one night
while checking to make sure our
coveted 1983 Class 2-A State
Golden Ball Championship
trophy was still in its proper
place—in the trophy case in
the Allen Gym. It is and I’m
always glad no one has stolen
it or anything of that sort. It’s
good that the trophy is properly
secured or some kid would (like
the OU player in Texas) get it
out and start trying to dribble
with it.
Getting my thoughts back
to OU, they possess seven
National Champion football
trophies which they keep under
better security than which the
Government places around the
U. S. Constitution on display
in Washington, D. C. Then
there is Jenni Carlson writing
about the carelessness at The
University of Alabama. They
won one of those beautiful
crystal National Championship
trophies last year. I don’t know
how many they have (but I’m
sure someone will tell me next
week) but they didn’t take very
good care of this one. Some
brainless idiot put the thing
on a flimsy pedestal where
the first time a clumsy viewer
came through, it would get
knocked over and broken. Sure
enough it wasn’t long before an
“unnamed” player tripped on
the carpet and knocked it off.
Broke it to smithereens.
Now you all know me, I’m
not all that critical of people but
if that old boy is that clumsy he
shouldn’t be playing football
anywhere except maybe at the
University of Texas. If you let
clumsy people suit up you can
wind up like Oklahoma that
time in Nebraska. Billy Sims
fumbled the ball away on the
2-yard line and we lost the game.
Clumsy! Alabama isn’t alone
in their ability to make poor
choices. Florida State had two
trophies stolen in 2004. Then in
2008 a poorly coordinated boy
named Orsen Charles somehow
fumbled the crystal trophy
away breaking it into a million
shards. Sounds like a bad joke
or something. Perhaps schools
like Florida State and Alabama
should be made to attend a
special school called: “How to
care for and protect your new
Championship trophy.”
Anyway, I’m proud and
pleased that so far no one has
busted into the Switzer Center
or anywhere else in the Gaylord
Family Football Stadium and
stolen any of our precious
trophies nor have they been
placed in such a manner to get
knocked over, played with or
otherwise endangered. You
know how free Oklahoma is
with that death penalty—not
to mention having Bob Stoops
mad at you.
All this causes me to wonder:
When are we (Allen) going
to go after a State Basketball
Championship again? It’s been
a long time since 1983 and
while I saw some very good
basketball players playing
championship level ball most of
the season, I didn’t see but one
who had actually won it and he
was the coach.
Don’t forget to go to church
next Sunday. And try not to
break anything.

Moss Penny Contest Heavy Success
Proceeds to benefit The American Heart Association
Moss Elementary School recently held a penny contest to
benefit the American Heart Association, which was a HEAVY
success! Competition was
weighty, boys against girls in
each of the two elementary
buildings (pre-K through 2nd
and 3rd through 6th) and classes
against each other.
In the pre-K through 2nd elementary building, Alicia Mills’
kindergarten class won the class
LPXLP
competition with 52 pounds, 4
ounces in coins. Loretha Golden’s pre-K class came in second
place, with 52 pounds, 1 ounce.
In the boys against the girls contest in that building, the boys’
coins weighed in at 70 pounds,
4 ounces. The girls weighed in
at 70 pounds, 12 ounces. Coordinator Marcella Mantooth was
told by Mrs. Golden’s girls that
the boys had helped them (they
have three girls and 10 boys in
their class). She declared a tie
between the boys and the girls
in their building. What a neat
thing the boys did, so all the
children were treated to homemade chocolate chip cookies
made by Marcella.
In the 3rd through 6th grade elementary building, the students
in Tracey Johnson’s 3rd grade
class were the winners with 48

EASTER IS A DOZEN
THINGS—CHURCH, EGGHUNTS AND VISITING
Easter on the city scene means
a dozen different things to different people and varying ages.
For some, Easter is inextricably bound up in the muted radiance of sunlight slanting down
through stained glass window
to touch a spray of Easter lilies
or highlight a polished pew at
church. For others it’s a buoyant feeling that stems from the
consciousness of the flattery of
a new hat or the good lines of a
suit; and for almost all ages Easter is partly the memory of running with the wind down a sunlit
slope in an egg hunt.
At any rate, whether today
means going to church and
coming home for a quiet day or
whether it means visiting, there’s
a special, exclusively Easter,
feeling in every home. Here are

Sifers, Dana Thompson, Tracey
Johnson, Jean Williams, Lisa
Mitchell and Rochelle Croce.
Thanks also to the elementary

huge success.

Dayna’s Desk
I had a surprise visit from
Wayne and Jean Martin last
Wednesday morning and I was
so happy to see them. It has
been a long time since they
have been by and we have
been missing them. Jean said
Wayne has been going through
a lot of health problems, one
of the worst is problems with
his back. He is really having a
lot of trouble and is currently
taking shots. Please keep him
in your prayers.
They shared a picture of
their
great-granddaughter
Addie Mancello, who lives in
Midwest City and comes to
visit them often. She is two
and a half years old and rules
the roost at her Great-Grandpa
Wayne’s house. They said she
is full of energy and if you want
to keep up with her, then you’d
better be sure and have your
energy pumped up when she
gets there. They said she is a
very happy little girl and a joy
to be around.
—DD—
Bill stopped by to see our
dear friend Edna Cooper. She
is one of the finest Christian
ladies I have ever known and a
joy to be around. Bill has never
forgotten when her husband,
the late Garrett “Pap” Cooper
and Meredith operated the
Conoco Service Station across
from Dean’s Car Wash. They
didn’t make much money, but
they had a good time!
The Cooper family is so
special to us. Bill keeps a poem
that Jack Cooper wrote about
Gert in his desk. It is one of his
prize possessions. The world
needs more people like the
Coopers.

Game Night
News
We had 15 “Moon” players
tonight! We were glad to see
Loita Sharp back with us. We
had really missed her! Partners
were Loita and Janice Eller,
Marie Grimes and Arjean Williams, Reba Lovelace and Betty
Adams, Geraldine Ingram and
Sharon Dilday, Glenda Smith
and Sue Wood, Shirley Hardwick, Norma Summy and Lynn
Marquis. Hey, wait a minute. How can Lynn have two partners? The answer is that Lynn
and Shirley were partners in
the first round and when they
lost, Shirley went home and
Norma took her place! Norma
and Lynn went on to win 6
games including Lynn shooting
the moon and making it! Actually, they had already made
20 points but she said that she
had a lay-down hand and just
had to shoot it! Show Off!! Glenda and Sue won 3 games. Reba and Betty won 2 games
and Sharon and Geraldine won
6 games.Loita and Janice won
1 game while Marie and Arjean
won 8 games including Arjean
shooting the moon and making
it! Way to go, Arjean! And the
good news is that nobody got
skunked!
Reba brought Strawberry
filled Oreo cookies and cheese
and crackers. Thanks, Reba!
And for those who were under the weather, get well quick
as we really did miss you!
See ya next week!
his surgery just fine, but the
results will not be known until
the end of this week. I talked
with his dad (Dub) and he said
that at least they found out one
good thing, “He does have a
brain!” All joking aside, please
keep Kevin and his family in
your prayers.

Sue Clark Adams was by
the office Monday. She told
us that Lowell’s treatments
are at the halfway mark. He
is doing okay, but we need to
keep Lowell and Sue in our
prayers. They are two of our
dearest friends and have been a
blessing to our family in many
ways for many years.

CORRECTION:
Last
week when I was talking about
Collene Shores, I said that
she and Gert went to school
together. They did not! Collene
was going to school at Buner
when they played Yeager. Gert
had already graduated, but was
a big Yeager fan and was there
when Collene scored all 12
points to defeat Yeager 12-11.
Some of those playing on
the Yeager team at that time
were Billie Kathryn Shores,
JoAnn Baker, Loretta Green
and Christine Vail. They were
all seniors and Collene was a
freshman.
Collene also shared a photo
with us of the 50th wedding
anniversary of Bill and Pat
Swofford taken sometime
around 2007. We appreciate her
sharing this and other pictures
with us.
Collene is so enjoyable to
visit with and we always look
forward to her visits.

National Day of Prayer to Be
Recognized May 5, 2012 - Noon
Our Founding Fathers poured
out a great amount of blood,
sweat, tears and prayers in the
process of giving birth to one
of the greatest man made documents ever to exist, our Constitution. This document has been
the guiding light for our nation
for some 240 years. As these
men added the Bill of Rights to
the Constitution, the first area
they addressed was the freedom
of religion.
Because of the authority of
government over religion in
England, they wanted to make
sure that our new government
kept out of the business of the
Church. That first amendment
is familiar to all of us:
Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof….
— The First
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
The Contintial Congress in
1775, a year before the Declaration of Independence was ratified called for a National Day
of Prayer, asking the people of

ing His will as they set about
this great task. They knew they
could not do it alone.
Today we find ourselves at a
cross roads in our nation. We are
just like Israel in the time of the
Judges when the Word tells us,
“Everyone did what was right in
his own eyes.” Judges 17:6
A couple of years ago United
States District Court Judge Barbara Crabb ruled that the National Day of Prayer that had
been in existence since 1775,
was unconstitutional. How incredible. She said this in her ruling: the day “serves no purpose
but to encourage a religious exercise, making it difficult for a
reasonable observer to see the

land, our Founding Fathers recognized the need of reaching out
to the Almighty but it seems that
we have replaced God’s will
with our own and we have done
a very poor job.
We like to think of Holdenville
as a nice safe community, but
we have all the crime and vice
of Oklahoma City or Tulsa. We
have replaced God with sexual
freedom, violence and greed.
This leaves us a choice, get
back to God, or forget God altogether. The final alternative will
mean the end of America as we
know her. If you care about your
community. If you care about
America, we encourage you to
join us on Thursday May 5th on
the Hughes County Courthouse
Lawn at 12 noon to have a time
of prayer for our Land.
Franklin Graham recently
said, “Prayer is the most powerful resource we have in this life;
yet many only turn to it as a last
resort.” Let’s not wait until it is
to late. Let’s show Judge Crabb
that the people of God will not
be deterred by some legal ruling. Jesus teaches us that we are
to give unto Caesar (the government) the things that belong to
Caesar but let us not give to
the government what belongs
to God. Come and express your
religious freedom. Come and
join us to pray for our Community and our Nation.

R.E. BROWN, 79, IS
RETIRING AFTER 50 YEARS
AS BLACKSMITH
R.E. Brown, who will be
80 years old in September, has
been more than 50 years as a
blacksmith, 30 years of which
have been spent in Holdenville.
Brown came to Holdenville
in June, 1919 and purchased
tools for a shop. Some of the
tools have been in use the entire
30 years and are still in good
condition, he said Friday.
He began his blacksmith
work on January 1, 1899 and
was active in the work until last
week, when he retired because
of ill health and bad eyesight.
“I saw the passing of horses
and mules with the invention
of automobiles and tractors
and I hope to live to see more
improvements in the world,” he
said.
In speaking of his early days
as a blacksmith, he recalled some
of the horses he has been called
on to shoe. He admitted that at
times he has had considerable
trouble with some of them but
claimed that he has never failed
to do any job that he was called
on for.
“I would like to continue my
work, but I feel that it would not
be safe for me to take a chance of
a serious injury which could be
caused by a fall. I don’t think I
can ever be as happy not working
as I was during my 30 years of
business in Holdenville,” Brown
declared.

be, please let us know.

been forgotten.
When I talked to Bruce last
week I asked him how his sons
are doing. He said they are both
doing very well and that Jon
and his wife Taloa are expecting
twin boys. They have a seven
year old daughter named Jadyn
and when Bruce asked her what
she thought about having twin
brothers, she said she wasn’t
happy because she wanted a
sister! She told her grandpa she
was still going to dress them
up like girls and put them on
Facebook!!

Our cousin Rick Abernathy
called Monday. He is doing
great and hopes to come to
Holdenville in June. It has been
a long time since we have seen
him and really look forward to
his upcoming visit.
He said he talks to his
longtime friend and HHS
graduate Jack Dickinson often.
Jack lives in Oklahoma City.
Bill and I spent many
evenings in the home of Gene
and Zula Abernathy (Rick’s
parents). They were so much
fun to be around and Zula was
an outstanding cook. There was
seldom a day went by that we
didn’t see them. They have been
gone for many years, but will
never be forgotten.

Monday we had a visit from
Beatrice Sheppard Conger.
Beatrice attended Benedict
School and said Clint LaValley
was her principal. Some of
the names she remembered
from her school days were the
Abernathys, Osbornes, Stones
and Beans. Beatrice now lives
in McAlester. We really enjoyed
her visit.
—DD—
Debbie Andrews brought
us by a delicious jar of honey.
Debbie and husband Kevin own
and operate Andrew’s Honey
Bees in Holdenville. They
have several different types of
honey.
Locally it is available at
Nichols and Save-a-Lot. In
Horntown you can purchase it
at Lee’s Service Station.

John Allen was by the
office this past week. He is the
grandson of Mrs. J.C. (Esther)
Allen. She attended the First
Baptist Church and before her
death lived at 301 S. Oak. I can’t
place Mrs. Allen and wonder if
any of our readers remember
her.

Threads of Life....by Cleo Emerson LeVally
Blue Bird Houses
Many years ago I visited my
brother who took me for a drive and
we passed a large swampland near
where he lived in Huntington Beach,
California. There were a few black
birds and some other small birds flying around and we talked about what a
great thing it would be if some group
would build bird houses there so that
when people took a drive around the
area there would be birds they could
identify. We came up with the idea
that those birds could be blue birds
then, by their color, people would
be able to see them from their cars
and know what kind they were. He
got a group together and build blue
birdhouses, they did. Then the birds
came and this group maintains the
houses each year.
I came home from California and
begun to do research on Blue Birds
and their houses; how to build them,
Moss High School students competed on Valentine’s Day at the East Central
University Interscholastic Meet in Ada. Moss competed in small school Division 3. Four
students won medals: Brandi Fletcher placed 2nd in Accounting 1st Year, teacher-Tonya
Olivo; Garrett Lowe placed 3rd in Geometry, teacher-Cherina Brown; Billie Fitzgerald
placed 3rd in Spanish 2nd Year, teacher-Joni Barrett/Celia Peixotto. Not pictured is Jake
Williams who placed 1st in Shakespearean Verse Monologue, teacher-Dusty Sifers.
the kind of food they eat, the number
of hatches for one pair each season,
etc. I begin to want to learn to build
birdhouses and put them up around
Healdton.
Two years ago, on one of my visits to see my brother, he took me to
the same area, and I was delighted to
see the houses and the birds around
the area. It turned out to be a great
project. The place was transformed.
This year my son, Charles Tee,
came. I told him about my dream and
he assembled the necessary tools and
lumber and began to build blue birdhouses. He put two out in my yard,
took some to the Healdton Lake
and put two out at one of the parks.
Some more research on the Internet
provided more information and the
houses were put in place in time for
the birds to begin nesting. About two
weeks ago, we went out to check on
them, and found six at the lake had
either eggs or hatched birds in them.
There was one nest where we saw a
small bird fly out of, and on inspection, found five very tiny eggs; light
brown with dark brown spots on
them and decided that it might be a
chick-a-dee who was nesting in that
house.
One nest at the park had five blue
bird eggs in it and the other had the
very small eggs like the ones at the
lake, and maybe in time we can identify what kind of bird uses that house.
It also may be a chick-a-dee.
I have learned one thing from this.
The blue bird nests are very neat and
symetrical; beautifully put together.
They look as if an artist has made
them. The chick-a-dee nests are simi-
lar, but smaller and very neatly put
together. Again, as if an artist made
them.
In the past, a friend and I had
talked blue birdhouses. I visited with
him last week and he told me of a
new way to make the entry for the
birds. Don’t make the round hole entrance on the front of the house. Build
them so there is an opening between
the lid and the sides and front of the
house where the birds can enter. This
opening would be the same height as
the width of the hole. That way there
is no room for any other bird to make
entry, so the house will be kept ready
for only the blue birds. I plan to try
that.
