THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, FEBRUARY 9, 2012- PAGE 2 C ountry Comments by Bill Robinson, Publisher Over the years we have run many wedding announcements, but the most enjoyable one I have ever read appeared in the Chicago Tribune. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Society Wedding: A Swinging Social Soiree’ For too long, Berwyn-Cicero society has complained of receiving all too little attention vis-à-vis the North Shore, Barrington Hills, Oak Brook Flossmoor, and other local habitats of high society. We want to do something about this. The Berwyn-Cicero (B-C, as it is known in fashionable circles) social season opened last weekend with the celebrated nuptials of Mildred Annalee Kelton to Albert Michael Mortone at two o’clock in the afternoon on Saturday, June 2, 1979, in the First Presbyterian Church, River Forest. Miss Kelton, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kelton of Berwyn, was lovely in a traditional white wedding gown. Her maid of honor, Phyllis Simmons of Cicero, wore a yellow lace gown, with her other attendants in blue lace. The groom, best man and ushers were resplen- dent in powder-blue tuxedos from Henry’s Formal Wear, Cicero. Miss Kelton, eighteen, attended Wheeling High School, Wheeling, Illinois, departing prior to completion of degree requirement, and is now, hopefully, between jobs. Mr. Mortone, twentyfive, said that he is legitimately unemployed, receiving compensation from the State of Illinois. Miss Kelton was given away in holy matrimony by her father in a traditional ceremony, highlighted by usher Frank Bascom of Cicero yelling, “Yahoo!” as the couple exchanged rings. The remaining ten minutes of the ceremony were omitted. The couple departed the church in a shower of rice in a late-model Chevrolet and were driven to a reception at the respected Berwyn Elks Club. About one hundred of B-C’s smart set attended the reception, dancing to the tuneful tunes of an unnamed guitar-accordion-drum band playing pleasurable polkas. Club manager and master of B-C Morgan Beavert is the daughter of Winston and Kelly Beavert. Senior Grant Rowsey escorted his parents Cheryl and Roger Rowsey during the senior night festivities. soirees, George Lundgren, chose tablecloths, but no centerpieces, for simple elegance. Lundgren sold whisky, gin, and setups were available. He said the band broke for dinner at 4:30 pm as guests dined buffet style on roast beef, broasted chicken, mostaccioli, macaroni salad, and various JellO molds. After dinner, ethnic dancing continued, and at about eight o’clock the traditional fighting commenced. While dancing with the groom’s sister, Simone, Mr. Bascom observed his wife touch dancing with the groom’s fifteenyear-old brother, Marty. Mr. Bascom subjected Marty Mortone to physical abuse and threatened severe violence. A check of the social register maintained by the Berwyn Department of Public Safety indicates our Mr. Bascom is a man of his word. The Mortones are a close, oldline Cicero family, and brother Jerome Mortone laid Mr. Bascom upside the head with a full champagne bottle, according to other prominent guests. At this point several others joined in the fisticuffs, including the groom. So many, in fact, that the uniformed Berwyn policeman on duty at the wedding reception instructed Mr. Lundgren to call for assistance. Local authorities say it is “customary” to have a policeman at Berwyn wedding receptions, where, “fights are quite common.” Two local gendarmes, respondent in dark-blue uniforms, arrived to join the festivities. “The entire place was up for grabs,” said one. S ocial-scene observers note that this was a truly superlative affair, attended, finally by ;the entire Saturday night shift of the Berwyn Police Department – the measure of any social occasion. Brandishing dark, solid-wood nightsticks (absolutely smashing accessories with the blue uniforms), police waded into the boisterous gathering of B-C society. “I couldn’t believe what I saw,” said one veteran policeman. “Glasses, champagne bottles and beer bottles were flying. Everyone in the place was fighting – like a Western movie barroom brawl. They didn’t even pay any attention to us.” (For the record – the bride and groom and their parents said it was a nice reception ruined by police intervention.) “ When we stepped between people fighting, they turned on us,” another policeman said. “It was frightening: a dozen of us against one hundred of them. They’d throw us to the floor, stomp us, and go back to fighting. We couldn’t arrest anybody; it was all we could do to hold on to our guns and nightsticks. They threw most of us back down the stairs. “The bride was getting in her licks, too. Her wedding gown was torn to pieces. The band members had extended their Happy Birthday Lea Ann!

Police from a local park district, Cicero, and other surrounding communities were called in, about forty- to forty-five officers in all. “We restored order, announced that the reception was over, and told the guests to disperse,” a police spokesman said. The crowd went outside, where fighting continued. Guns were drawn when one guest flattened two policeman with a table leg. Passersby reportedly joined in the fighting. The pugilism continued inside the two paddy wagons and in front of the Berwyn Police Department, where guests not yet under arrest met the police vehicles’ arrival.

Only twelve were arrested, according to authorities, “because we wanted to get out of there while we were still alive.” A local judge, resplendent in floor-length black robes, set bonds at $5,000 to $15,000 each. Neck braces and arm slings are the height of fashion this week at the Berwyn Police Department. A good time was had by all, at what is being called the most exciting B-C social event since last year’s Southwest Cook County Chapter 205 of the National Association of Women in Construction’s Candlelight Bowl. The couple is at home in Cicero following the groom’s release from Cook County Jail Tuesday evening. Honeymoon plans have been postponed ending trial. We wish the young couple all the best – in court, at future B-C welterweight wedding receptions, and in returning those armless, blood-spattered tuxedos to Henry’s Formal Wear. We anxiously await the wedding photos. —CC— And speaking of marriage, here is my favorite story of the week . .. Recently engaged, Dan Samolla asked his Aunt Jane, who has been married to his Uncle Bob for 34 years, what she thought was the key to the success of their long union. She began, “We try not to argue, and we respect each other’s privacy – At this point Uncle Bob interrupted. “She works days and I work nights,” he said. —CC— Last of all, if you are having problems in your marriage, maybe you need to buy a bird. The chirping may help you and your wife get along better. The birds have been a blessing to the folks living in Lancaster, California. Crime is down in this city on the desert fringe of Los Angeles County, and Mayor R. Rex Parris is sure he knows one reason: It’s the chirping. “Do you feel that?” he asked as he inched forward in his cowboy boots on a city sidewalk, anticipating a calming sensation from the faint sound of birds above his head. The chirps subconsciously discourage criminality, Mr. Parris says: “Everybody is now in a better mood, a better place.” Those chirps aren’t from here. The mayor bought them in recordings from England, and for the past 10 months he has had his city play them over 70 speakers along a half mile of Lancaster Boulevard, blended with mellow synthesizer tones, five hours a day. His claim: The bird song and music calm citizens by fine-tuning brain chemicals. Minor crimes in Lancaster fell about 15% last year, compared with 2010, says the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, this city being part of the county, and serious crimes fell about 6%. “We’re not seeing that impulse-control crime,” Mr. Parris says. “It has just been astonishing to us how the community has changed as a result of a one-half-mile stretch.” Some people are skeptical. Laura Dugan, an associate professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of Maryland, says public officials often claim their initiatives reduce crime, but without sufficient evidence for their assertions. “There’s also a drop in crime in every other major and minor city, so just because somebody tries something and you see a drop in crime, it doesn’t mean it necessarily caused it,” Ms. Dugan says of Lancaster’s piped-in birds. Lancaster was already seeing a multiyear decline in crime before the birds, says Robert Jonsen, captain of the Lancaster Sheriff Station. That’s because city officials worked more closely with police, increased public engagement and improved Lancaster Boulevard, he says. But the boulevard bird song is an important element in the effort to decrease crime, Mr. Jonsen says. It has also carried over into other parts of town, he says, as visitors bring the mellow vibes back to their neighborhoods. Many locals believe in the birds. Maria Elena Grado, who runs the Lemon Leaf Café near speakers playing the bird music, says the area was “crime infested” when she opened in 2006. The birds, and a broader upgrade of the area, have had a positive impact on the demeanor of customers, she says. “Everybody laughed at the idea, but people don’t even realize the things that make them tick.” Mr. Parris, who is also a practicing personal-injury attorney, says he got interested in ways to affect brain chemistry because he wanted to be more persuasive in court. “Once you recognize that all of this happens because of chemicals in the brain, you look at how do we affect those chemicals.” Mr. Parris saw a way to test tweets after he became the parttime mayor of Lancaster in 2008. The city has about 157,000 residents. Frank Zappa and Judy Garland both lived there at some point. Mr. Parris first recorded birds in his backyard, but decided in early 2011 to spend his own money commissioning a composition from Julian Treasure, a sound consultant based near London. Mr. Treasure used recorded chirps from Europe, blended with water sounds and what he calls “uplifting musical figures.” Mr. Treasure’s firm, The Sound Agency Ltd., previously had installed bird sounds in bathrooms of some BP PLC gas stations in Europe. A BP spokesman says the bird sounds resulted in compliments from customers. Bird sounds can reduce cortisol and adrenaline, which are produced by the human body in response to stress, Mr. Treasure says. Ever since early man had to worry about forest predators, he says, people found singing birds reassuring. “We’ve learned over hundreds of thousands of years it’s when they stop that we need to worry,” he says. It is plausible that Lancaster’s bird sounds would have their claimed effect on crime, says Daniel Levitin, a neuroscientist at McGill University, as long as an individual genuinely found that Friendly Service at Your Local Sears Hometown Store. sound pleasing and songbirds were used. “The obvious thing is it can’t be the sound of vultures ripping apart a bison or anything,” he says. Mr. Treasure says he isn’t certain what birds are on the recordings. Ben Sheldon, a University of Oxford field-ornithology professor, upon listening to a segment, says he detects male songbirds such as the robin, wren, blackbird and perhaps a bit of the Great Tit. Their message to females, he says: “I’m here, are you unattached?” There may be precedent. Doha, Qatar’s Aspire Park serenades visitors with recorded birds. Walid Bachir, section head-public domain at the park’s management agency, thinks the sounds do help modulate behavior. “Otherwise, we might have more fighting between visiting groups or kids,” he says. Mind control isn’t just for the birds. The London Underground plays classical music in some stations to create a more crime- free environment, says a spokeswoman for transport for London. U.K.-based Compound Security Systems Ltd. sells a device to repel loitering teens with a frequency adults can’t hear. It also appears not to bother dogs. Greg Budney, audio curator at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Macaulay Library, a renowned collection of recorded bird song, says he has had requests to use the collection for medical purposes but hasn’t heard of bird song being used to fight crime. Neither has Charles Sczuroski, a senior trainer at the National Crime Prevention Council. But broadcasting bird song meshes with the concept of crime prevention through environmental design, he says, in which cities might improve lighting or play cheerful music in public spaces. If chirping influences ne’er-dowells, “It really does not surprise me.” — John Letzing Wall Street Journal Chamber Banquet February 28th The Allen Chamber of Commerce has set the date of their annual Chamber Banquet for Tuesday, February 28th.

While I was under the dryer, the two-year-old came and stood in front of me. She had an iphone (I think it was) and began to flash photos of the baby to me. I marveled as she would show one photo and then turn it around and punch three times on the iphone and then show another photo to me. This from a twoyear-old, using the iphone like a pro! When I told this story to a friend, she told me that computers and these new gadgets (with a lot of names) were now being used in kindergarten class at the schools. Forget cursive writing. This past Christmas I received many e-cards instead of Christmas cards. These are not things we can keep and read in years to come. Just weeks ago, we thought the computer was about the best we could have. Now technology is moving faster that we (or I-?) can keep up with it. A few years ago I began to abhor the fact that letter writing was a thing of the past. And I had not seen anything yet. The e-mails and iphone messages are not like the letters we used to receive. Recently I straightened up a drawer and found a letter written to me by Service Saturday for Harvey Bain Services for Richard Harvey Bain, 70, of Allen are 11:00 a.m. Saturday, February 11th, at the Allen First Baptist Church, Rev.

THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, FEBRUARY 9, 2012, PAGE 5 One Pharmacist’s View A guy from Harden City, Oklahoma, Bobby Winters writes a guest column in the Ada Evening News once in a while, which I always make a point to read. Last week he wrote a story about Harden City and a little country store run by a couple named “McElroy” plus a delicious meat called “Baloney.” To speak of Harden City you also speak geographically of McLish School, the town of Fittstown, Franks and a nice picnic and swimming place called Lee’s Park. I won’t include Byrd’s Mill in this as it’s on down the road and you have to quit somewhere. In his story about Harden City, Winters remembers the excellent quality of the baloney (bologna) in McElroy’s store and their “Grape Cokes.” I lived in a more of a metrotype area called Stonewall at the time, but like the good professor, I had many an occasion to stop in at the McElroy’s for an ice-cold RC. The McElroy’s did some business over at Stonewall with my dad and on one occasion I delivered a new gadget to them: an item called a television set. I still remember sitting there quite a while enjoying a cold RC and watching the TV with them— making sure that the only channel we got, channel 4, would keep on coming in. Everyone was quite pleased that most of the time you could make out whose face was peering out through the abundant snow on the screen. Winter’s story of the McElroy store and their baloney caused me to remember a pair of Uncles I once had: Uncle Ezra and Uncle Matt. Ezra operated one of those country stores up near Graton, California that had real good baloney and cold pop while Matt was a farmer down south near Fresno. Matt was a dairy farmer who raised a few hogs and cured hams. Whenever Ezra and his family drove down for a visit Matt always gave him some home cured hams and other farm fresh items you just can’t buy at the store. Ezra in return brought baloney ends, lunch meats and “store goodies” to a hoard of kids that were far too numerous to be counted in the Mathis Ray Family. M y cousin, “Corky” Ray, one of those children, always laughed as he would tell me of how they thought they had cheated their Uncle Ezra. They had palmed off some common farm hams for meat delicacies called baloney and those other delicious store-bought goodies. One more thing I need to mention here: My Uncle Matt owned Arnold, the large Boar Hog which he loaned to Steve Spielberg and who starred in the movie “Thornburg’s” (Arnold not Steve). I wrote an article about Arnold a few years ago which my regular readers (you know who you are) will remember. It’s about as close as I ever got to being kin to anyone who starred in a movie. The rural roads and highways of America played host to a jillion of those little stores like McElroy’s and Uncle Ezra’s back then. As I drive the rural highways in America I can still spot these ruins and relics of America’s past and I still miss them. Several years ago I was riding with my older brother Gerald on US-270 between Stuart and McAlester and he slowed the car and pulled into the driveway of one of these tiny stores. “What are you doing?” I asked. “I’ve been going past this place all my life and I want to see who runs it.” So we did. About an hour later, finishing off a cold drink and a lot of good conversation, we Light from God’s Word Mark Legg, Allen church of Christ D avid J. Stewart wrote, “There is nothing in the Bible which requires a person to be baptized in order to be saved.” He argues that if people must be baptized to be saved, they are trying to be saved by works and he states, “A careful study of the Scriptures with an honest heart makes it quite clear that works CANNOT save a person.” It is certainly true that it is “not by works of righteousness which we have done” that we are saved. (Titus 3:5) However is baptism a work? If people believe they must be baptized to have their sins forgiven and to be saved, do they think that baptism is a work by which they earn salvation? W hen Naaman obey the command (2 Kings 5:10) to “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times” to be cured of leprosy, did he earn salvation from leprosy by the action of dipping seven time in Jordan? Of course not! Did dipping in the Jordan cure his leprosy? Was there some power in the waters of Jordan? Of course not! Could he have dipped six times in Jordan and been cured? No! Could he have dipped seven time in one of the rivers of Damascus (as he thought would be alright – 2 Kings 5:12) and been cured? No! W hat was the power that cured his leprosy? God cured him! But when did God cure him? All of us can see that it was when he obeyed?

Of course not! God cured him, but when? It was only after he had expressed his faith in God in obeying the command given him. In the same way, baptism is not a work by which anyone can earn salvation, but it is the commanded expression of faith in our Savior, just as the dipping in the Jordan seven times was the means by which Naaman was commanded to express his faith in God to cure his leprosy. When one is baptized into Christ, he is expressing his faith in Christ to save him. “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” (Mark 16:16) New Emergency Line (580)857-9928 Line is answered 24 hours went on our way. The little store still sits there gradually falling apart but thanks to my brother I now have good memories of a fine old couple who seemingly were just sitting there waiting for someone to stop and buy a pop and talk a while. I hope all of you are enjoying the nice winter weather and the reminders that spring is close by. Be sure and go to church this Sunday. Wayne Bullard, Pharm. D.

Ne ne Ow By HERMAN BROWN Allen Mustang correspondent The Allen Mustangs open the Class A district playoffs this weekend at Allen High School. Coach Greg Mills’ Mustangs will host the Achille Eagles at 8 p.m. Saturday in a showdown for the district championship. “I feel good about our kids being ready to play,” Coach Mills said. “It is sometimes hard to be motivated for those regularseason games. That was the case Tuesday night when we played New Lima. But the kids are excited and ready for the playoffs to be here. We’ll be ready to go.” Allen will bring a 21-2 record into the district championship game. The Mustangs have a very competitive field of teams to face in the coming days. However, AHS is expected to battle Weleetka and Wright City for the two spots that will qualify for state in this area. “It all starts with Achille,” the AHS boss said. “We need to take care of business against them. They’ve got one player who averages 27 or 28 points a game. They ride him hard as far as their success. We’ll play our normal man-to-man defense against him. We are not going to start changing how we play opponents. We’ll keep doing the same things that have made us successful so far.” Last Thursday, Allen erupted for a 73-43 blowout victory over the visiting Davis Wolves. Four different Mustangs powered the 31-point win. Lane Mills was a force with a game-high 21 points. Grant Rowsey was also deadlyeffective on offense with 17 points. Brady Caldwell and Zane Erickson added 10 points each en route to the win. Connor Johnson didn’t miss double digit scoring by much. He pumped in 8 points for AHS. Brett Edens followed with 6 points and Logan Dennis added 2. Allen was locked into a tight 13-11 game in the first quarter. However, the Mustangs then exploded for 25 points in the second period to garner a 38-18 advantage. Allen went out to outscore the visitors 35-24 during the second have. That forced the 31-point margin of victory in the 73-42 final. “We played a really good team (Davis),” the coach said. “They were 11-5 and had just won the Healdton tournament. But we played an exceptional game and were hitting on all five cylinders.” On Tuesday, Allen collected its 21st win in 23 games. However, the Mustangs were not quite the same ‘well-oiled machine’ as they had been Thursday evening. Even so, they shot down the visiting New Lima Falcons 53-37 in the regular-season finale. Allen led 17-6 after one quarter and 34-14 at the half. However, they slowed down in the second half and were outscored 24-20 over the last two quarters. They were still able to secure the 16-point margin of victory at 53-37. Most of the scoring damage came from Grant Rowsey with 22 points and Brett Edens with 17.

By HERMAN BROWN Allen correspondent The Allen Lady Mustangs stumbled in their Thursday game with the Davis Lady Wolves. However, Coach Jeremy Strong’s Lady Mustangs rebounded Tuesday with a win over the New Lima Falconettes. Both games were played at Allen High School, which will also be the site for this Saturday’s 2-team district basketball tournament. Allen will welcome the Achille Lady Eagles to town for the district title game. The two squads will hit the court at 6:30 p.m. Friday. “I don’t know a whole lot about Achille,” said Coach Strong. “But our approach is always more about us and what we need to focus on. We work on the things that will make us a better team. We’ll do that same thing against Achille. We’ll go out and do our best and hope that gets us the district championship.” Coach Strong praised his 19-4 Lady Mustangs for their efforts and success leading into the playoffs. “They have done a really good job,” he said. “I am so proud of them. We came into the season with the goal of making it to state. That’s what we are still aiming for now that the playoffs have arrived. Last year, we won the district championship and got to the first round of the area tournament. We want to play on this year and be in the state tournament. If we play hard and do the things we are capable of doing, we have as good a shot as anyone else.” On Thursday, Allen suffered a 60-41 loss to the visiting Davis Lady Wolves. The Lady Mustangs fell behind 26-4 in the first quarter. After that, they settled down and outscored Davis 37-34 over the final three quarters. But, to their dismay, the slow start spelled doom for their chances of winning. Marissa Prentice led the scoring parade with 13 points. Aussie Riddle was next with 9 points, just missing double digits for the Lady Mustangs. “Credit Davis for coming in here fired up to play,” said Coach Strong. “We were not ready to go when the game started. You can see how that worked out for us!” On Tuesday, Allen was hoping to get back in the win column in their regular-season finale. The Lady Mustangs accomplished that by outlasting the visiting New Lima Falconettes 49-41. Allen started off slow again. However, the Lady Mustangs erased the 11-6 deficit by outscoring New Lima in each of the final three quarters. They were still down 22-18 at halftime and 34-33 at the end of three quarters. But the Allen girls took control down the stretch. They outscored the Falconettes 16-7 in the fourth quarter to rally for the 49-41 victory Amber Coody led the way to victory with a team-high, 12-point scoring performance. Marissa Prentice was close behind with 11 points. The rest of the scoring list included Beyla Skelton with 8 points, and Aussie Riddle, Jocee Bai- THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, FEBRUARY 9, 2012 - PAGE 8 Pontotoc County Commissioners Proceedings January 2012 January 3, 2012 The Board of Pontotoc County Commissioners met for a regularly scheduled meeting in which the time, place, and agenda were duly posted 9:00 AM on December 30, 2011 at 100 W. 13th, Ada, Oklahoma.

Tom was accompanied by James and Jake Hammonds and Wyatt Deaton on their guitars. If anyone had come in late during this song they would have thought we were enjoying an informal hymn jam session since everyone except Jake was sitting down, but that’s not the case. It just seemed to be the right place for all the musicians to be at the time, and Tom brought the message through loud and clear. Rev. Karch’s sermon was on the topic of accountability and was based in Ezekiel 33:1-12. He pointed out that watchmen are those who warn others if there is impending danger. If the watchman sounds the alarm and you don’t heed it, it is your own fault. If the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm, then the loss of life is his fault. Preachers, missionaries, and other Christians are responsible for warning lost people around them. Every Christian can invite friends, neighbors, and relatives to church. Doing so is a witness that you find church important and that you are concerned for the soul of the person you invite. No one knows when the Lord will return, and there is no guarantee that we have next week, tomorrow, or even the rest of this day. Therefore, it is important that everyone be ready for the Lord’s return. The Bible tells us that we are to turn from sin and warn others to turn from their sin. God doesn’t want anyone, including the wicked, to die in their sin, and Jesus paid an extremely high price so that it doesn’t have to happen. THG-11909 Go Painlessly™ with THERA-GESIC. Maximum strength analgesic creme for temporary relief from: • Back pain • Muscle pain • Arthritis pain • Joint pain Atwood Nazarene News Since it was the first Sunday of the month we had our monthly breakfast. Everyone always enjoys this fellowship before church services. We had our Sunday School classes and worshiped God in prayer and song. Brenda and Jeremy sang our special “Mother Do Not Cry for Me.” This is a new song with a beautiful message. Bro Larry’s message was taken from Psalm 147:1-11 and entitled “How Good it is to Praise God.” We praise God because He is worthy. He is building His kingdom. He heals the brokenhearted and binds their wounds. He has everything under control. He has created the universe and sustains it. He has all power over it. He knows how to help those who are humbly dependent upon Him. Those who have no strength left can count on the strength of God. We all have things for which we can be thankful, friends, family, and health. These and countless other blessings are reasons for us to sing with thanksgiving. We praise God because it is good for us. Praising God will build our faith. Praising God will help build the faith of those who are struggling. Praising God reminds us of how good God is. Praising God opens the windows to His love and blessings. We praise God because we can. He has opened our eyes to enable us to see Him. He has given us mouths in order to proclaim him. He trusts us to show him to the world. Sunday night we had a Superbowl party at Truby and Gary’s. Even for those of us who are not sports fans, we enjoyed the food and fellowship. Next Sunday night we will have our annual Valentine’s Banquet. We invite you to join us in church services Sunday. God will bless you. Harmony Missionary Baptist News The first Sunday in February at Harmony of Gerty began service with singing Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus, give of Your Best to the Master, and Great Is Thy Faith Fullness. Church trio sang Under His Wings and He’ll Understand and Say “Well Done.” Devotional Reading was “Divine Approval” John 12: 27-30. The adult lesson was “You Matter to Jesus” Mark 14: 3-9, Luke 7:24,28. Jesus knows your service and its value. Serve God faithfully, trusting Him to reward you. “God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward His name, in that ye have ministered to the saints and do minister” Hebrews 6: 10. Youth lesson was “No Worries” Matthew 6: 25-38. When we turn everything over to God, He is quick to take care of our worries. We were thankful to have Hannah in class. He Touched Me and I’m Standing On the Solid Rock was sung before the morning message. Bro. David’s message was on Stephen, the first martyr of Christian Faith. Acts 7: 51-60. Verse 59: And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fill asleep. We were blessed with extra friends, neighbors, and family. We surprised Bro. Albert adding his 95th birthday to our monthly luncheon. We are blessed to still have him in our Family and Church. We also added his grandson, David’s 45th birthday and his great-granddaughter Kylee Tatum’s 18th birthday. David’s is February 4th, Albert’s, February 6th and Kylee’s is February 8th. We took pictures of Albert’s and David’s large cake and Kylee with her decorated cookie. We appreciate and thank you for making Albert’s 95th birthday special. There was enough cake and ice cream left to serve Albert and his neighbors at his retirement home Monday on his birthday. We pray you have a great week and May God Bless You!

Most of the teams there were class A or 2A, so it was nice to see our kids compete so well against the larger schools.” Individual scores were: 132 lb class – Blake Fulton 7th, 660 total. 145 lb class – Seth McLean 2nd, 950 total; Adam Lively, 550 total. 168 lb class – Justin Moore, 545 total; Kyler Lawrence, 500 total. 181 lb class – Billy Thompson 5th, 1000 total. 198 lb class – Zack Conley 3rd, 1000 total; Michael Snider 4th, 970 total. 220 lb class – Aaron Manual 10th, 865 total; Cody Burnett, 635 total. 242 lb class – Jason Holcomb, 720 total. 275 lb class – Cody Lively 5th, 1055 total.
