School. If the trend continues, he said, the U.S. economy could
become less vibrant.
“We need startups not only for employment, but also for ideas,”
Mr. Davis said. “It’s part of the vitality of this country to have
people starting new businesses and trying new things.”
The decline in young entrepreneurs is part of a broader drop
in private business ownership over the past 25 years. Between
2000 and 2012, new business formation slowed even in such
high-growth sectors as technology, according to economists John
Haltiwanger and Ryan Decker of the University of Maryland and
Javier Miranda of the Census Bureau.
Slowing U.S. population growth since the early 1980s has
reduced the supply of potential entrepreneurs of all ages, and
lessened demand for new goods and services, said Mr. Litan of
the Brookings Institution. Meanwhile, business consolidation has
led to more formidable competition for startups, making it harder
for new entrants to gain a spot in the marked, he said.
Overall, the U.S. “startup rate” – new firms as a portion of all
firms – fell by nearly half between 1978 and 2011, according to
an analysis by Mr. Litan and his research partner, economist Ian
Hathaway.
The costs of operating many types of small businesses have
come down in the past decade, with the greater use of technologies
that reduce labor costs. But young entrepreneurs face formidable
financial hurdles.
The average net worth of households under 30 has fallen 48%
since 2007 to $44,354. More than half of 18-to-20-year-olds
reported one or more financial problems in the past year, a 2014

would be like to be old. But
as I got older I didn’t seem
to feel any different about
things such as politics, social mores, religion and
child behavior. However,
it seemed everyone else
changed.
Also, I have been critical
in my innermost thoughts
about those old people who
On Being 80
get all mixed up. You know,
the ones who stand in church
when they are supposed to
be sitting, start answering rhetorically in Sunday
sermons, drive with their
left blinker on or who go
into the store and spill their

at the register. And that
includes those people who
Light from God’s
Word
Mark Legg
Will God send people to
hell? Some people argue that
a loving God could not be so
cruel. Of course, the truth
is that God is trying to keep
every person from going to
hell. He sent His Son and
sacrificed Him in trying to
keep us from going to eternal
suffering. The Apostle Peter
confirms that God “is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish
but that all should come to
repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
Thus, anyone who goes
to hell will go by his own
choice. It will be because
he chose to reject God’s love,
mercy and grace and because
he refused to stop living in
disobedience to God. Considering that God so loved

We have the solution to
your flea & tick problem
us that He gave His only
begotten Son as a sacrifice to
save us from hell, and yet we
still reject His efforts, why
should we be forgiven of our
sins? If we reject the gift of
forgiveness, freely given out
of love and mercy, isn’t it
reasonable to expect eternal
punishment?
If we do not have a change
of mind and turn from disobedience to God, have we
not rejected and even treated
with contempt God’s effort to save us? And, have
we not shown that we are
determined to continue in
disobedience to God? In
addition, if we refuse to turn
from disobedience to God,
why would God want us to
be with Him eternally? If we
do not love God and righteous living enough to turn
from disobedience to God,
why should He save us from
eternal suffering in hell? If
we do not trust God or believe that He is trying to save
us and if we find pleasure in
unrighteousness, why should
we be saved from eternal
separation from God? (2
Thessalonians 1:7-9; 2:12)
If you know of God’s love
and mercy in trying to save
you, please do not doubt Him
or reject His efforts. To do so
would be to trample underfoot the Son of God and the
sacrifice of His life. It would
be to treat the blood of Jesus
by which we are cleansed
as an unholy thing. And, it
would be an insult to God’s
Spirit of grace by which we
are freely given salvation?
(Hebrews 10:29-30)
can’t figure out daylight
savings time and need help
with their cell phones, much
less a smart phone. Yes, you
know who you are.
However, I am developing a little more tolerance
for my fellow “oldies” and
replacing my scorn with a
little more empathetic sympathy. I am finding that I am
not immune from some of
these obnoxious behavioral
patterns. Just the other day
Pat and I were enjoying an
OU Women’s basketball
game up at Lloyd Nobel
Arena. OU was winning
and I was having a real good
time. The only interruption
in my happiness was every
time they had a timeout they
had a breast cancer survivor stand and be honored
and then we would have to
stand and applaud the fact
that they weren’t dead yet.
I am, after all, in favor of
surviving breast cancer.
T he next timeout they
again asked us to stand and
applaud another selected
survivor and I did. Well,
not exactly. As I enthusiastically applauded the
heroic survivor I felt my
wife pulling on my pink
cancer survivor T-shirt they
had given to everyone and
motioned me to sit down. I
was after all, the only one
standing and yelling and applauding. “What’s wrong?”
I asked. “They were asking
for all the breast cancer survivors to stand,” she pointed
out with no small amount
of scorn. I noticed some of
the crowd giving me some
compassionate looks and
applause. I told her, “Well,
I got a pretty good hand
didn’t I?”

Mustangs extend season
into area play
Allen edges No. 11 Vanoss
before falling to Stuart Hornets
By HERMAN BROWN
Allen correspondent
The Allen Mustangs will
move into the Class A area
basketball tournament this
week at Ada.
The Mustangs split two
games last weekend at the
regional tournament at Byng.
By winning Thursday’s regional semi-final contest, Allen was already a lock for a
berth in the area tournament.
Hopes of a regional championship, however, slipped
away on a Saturday night
loss to the Stuart Hornets.
Coach Greg Mills’ AHS
squad escaped a late bid
by the 11th-ranked Vanoss
Wolves in the Class A regional semi-finals. The playoff game was played at the
regional sub-site in Stonewall.
Allen led 23-16 after a
quarter and 38-31 at intermission.
Vanoss outscored the Mustangs 14-12 in the third
period to close the deficit to
only five points, 50-45.
The outcome was in doubt
when the final eight minutes
began. Allen withstood the
Wolves down the stretch
to capture a 3-point win at
65-62.
Fans watched breathlessly
in the final seconds as Vanoss
mis-fired on a pair of 3-point
bombs. The Mustangs were
clinging to the 65-62 advantage when the clock melted
down to three zeroes.
Logan George powered the
victory with a game-leading
26 points. He added a halfdozen rebounds and four
steals for an all-around great
game.
Kanan Wisdom was second
on the team with 11 points.
Ty Brown also joined the
double-digit scoring club
with 10 points.
Other Allen scoring included Josiah Jones and Christian
Henry with 5 points each
and Tommy Lee Peay and
Dakota Nickell with 4 points
apiece.
With Thursday’s game in
the win column, Allen was
assured of a trip to the area
tournament this weekend.
But any hopes of a regional
crown were dashed by the
Stuart Hornets, who posted
a 14-point win over Allen in
the regional finals.
Allen came out on the
wrong side of the 72-58 final
score.
Coach Mills’ squad led
13-9 after a quarter of action.
However, Stuart bounced
back to outscore the Mustangs in each of the final
three periods.
The Hornets moved on top
30-26 in the second quarter.
They extended the SHS lead
All new Chrysler 200
to 49-40 at the close of the
third stanza. Stuart also outscored Allen 23-18 to secure
the 72-58 decision.
Allen’s offensive performance included four players scoring in double digits.
Kanan Wisdom led with 15
points. Logan George was a
close second with 14 points.
Ty Brown and Josiah Jones
tossed in 10 points each to
join the double-figure list.
Tommy Lee Peay finished
with 3 points while Jordan
Stick, Christian Henry and
Dakota Nickell all scored 2
points each.
The loss denies Allen the
regional crown – and sends
the Mustangs to the area
tournament in the consolation bracket. It will take three
consecutive wins to move on
to state. A loss on Thursday,
Friday or Saturday will put
an end to what could be a
magical season.
Allen is currently listed at
No. 14 in Class A basketball
rankings.

Allen girls servive regional
loss to Stonewall
By HERMAN BROWN
Allen correspondent
The Allen Lady Mustangs
continue the playoff journey
this weekend.
Coach Jeremy Strong’s AHS
girls are scheduled to play
Thursday in the consolation
quarter-finals of the Class A
area tournament at Ada.
Last week, Allen suffered
a 33-22 loss to the Stonewall
Lady Longhorns in the regional
semi-final showdown at Byng
High School.
These two teams have
met four times this season.
Stonewall has won three of
the four games, including the
showdown in the regional
tournament.
The
Lady
Longhorns collected their 12th
win in a row to improve to
25-2 on the season.
Allen dropped to 18-6
including half of the losses
to the green-clad conference
opponent. The Lady Mustangs
are ranked 18th in the class.
Stonewall led 9-6 at the end
of the first quarter of action.
Allen rallied in the second
quarter with an 8-0 run to
slip ahead 14-9. However, the
Stonewall girls countered with
the final 11 points of the period
to slip into halftime with a 2014 advantage.
The scoring pace in the second
half continued to crawl along.
Multiple turnovers by each
team held down the scoring,
helped along by aggressive
defensive play.
Allen was outscored 13-8
after intermission and ended
up losing the game by 11
points, 33-22.
Coach Strong said “you have
to score” and against Stonewall
“We could not put the ball in
the basket.”
The Lady Mustangs knocked
down only 10 of 41 shots
overall. Their normal strong
3-point shooting was an icecold 0 for 11 against the Lady
Longhorns.
Charlea Leonard was the
leading scorer with 8 points on
Thursday.
On Friday, Allen dropped
into the consolation bracket.
The Lady Mustangs faced
Macomb in an elimination
showdown at Byng.
Allen extended the playoff
run with an impressive 61-35
drubbing of the Macomb Lady
Hornets.
Coach Strong’s girls raced
away to leads of 13-4 after a
quarter, 33-13 at the half and
56-18 after three quarters.
Macomb outscored AHS 17-5
in the final period but still lost
by 26 points at 61-35.
Hannah Heck fueled the
scoring attack for Allen with
16 points.
Kennedy Prentice and Alison
Sells both scored 9 points
to just miss double digits in
scoring.
Alycia Evans added 8 points
in the win.
Faith Caldwell and Abbey
Gaines finished with 4 points
each while Charlea Leonard
and Brooke Holbrook produced
2 points each.
Allen hit 23 of 53 shots from
the field. The trey shooting
came back as they drilled 10
of 21 shots from behind the
arc. They were also 5 of 7 at
the free throw line.
Macomb made 15 of 46 field
goals, including 4 of 19 treys
and 1-3 on free throws.
By winning, the Lady
Mustangs moved on to
Saturday’s consolation finals.
Once again, it was a mustwin game to remain in the
playoffs.
The ladies from Allen enjoyed
another strong victory. The
Lady Mustangs removed the
drama on Saturday with a 25point cakewalk at 57-32.
Stats for the game were
unable because the scorebook
was locked away at the school
and Coach Strong was kept
away due to the icy road
conditions that forced officials
to close the school.
Looking ahead, Allen will
need to run off three more
wins in the area tournament to
realize their dream of making
it to state in 2015.

Sunday started out as a
cloudy, mild day but it certainly changed after church
services. The snow came
in. It was beautiful. So far
we have been blessed with a
good winter. Just watch the
news and you can see how
lucky we are. Following our congregational singing, Sharon and
We are the
Champions!
The Allen Mustangs held off 35 teams to become the 2015
8-Man Class B&C State Powerlifing Champions. The title was
earned Wednesday, February 18th, in Wetumka.
“It was a great day for our kids. Going into this meet, our guys
had won the Prague, Anadarko and Allen Invitationals so I felt
like we had a shot at it,” said Coach Zach Sullivan.
The Mustangs last won the title in 2010 and 2011.

THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, FEBRUARY 26, 2015 -PAGE 9
Wayne sang a song written
by Reba McIntire and her
sister Susie, “Skyful of Angels Watching Over Me.” Bro. Larry’s message was
taken from 1 Corinthians
9:16-23 and entitled “Compelled to Tell.” Most of us
know the story of Paul’s
conversion. He was highly
religious, but lost. He was
one of the early persecutors of Christians. He was
gloriously converted on the
road to Damascus. From the
moment of his conversion,
his life was changed dramatically. He began witnessing
immediately. He spent the
next three years preparing
for his life’s calling: sharing
the Gospel. He wanted to win the Jews. He became passionate about
telling his own people about
Jesus. To think that God
could love the Gentiles was
revolutionary for him. He
was overwhelmed with a desire to take this message all
over the world. He worked
his way around as much of
the world as he could. Everywhere he went he found
people who were lost and
hurting. For Paul becoming “all
things to all men” was necessary to reach them. We
need to remember that doing
God’s will was not always
pleasant. He continued on
believing that future blessings would make it worth it
all. Winning the lost was a
great reward. The greatest
reward awaited him at the
end of his journey. With
eternal glory in mind he persevered until the end. We want to invite you to
attend church with us. We
will be serving breakfast at
9:15 so come early. Give yourself
a tax break.
