Allen Robbery Suspects Captured

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

able items of Iker’s collection are kept in a safety deposit box at the bank, the couple made off with several hundred dollars worth of coins. Iker was told to remain in the house while the thieves made their getaway. Immediately after the suspects left the house and entered their vehicle, Mr. Iker took matters into his own hands. “He came out with a .22 caliber rifle and fired several shots. He hit the vehicle several times, but did not hit the suspects. Iker has dealt with old coins They sped away (heading for many years. west),” Christian contin Sheriff Christian said as Iker ued. was talking to the pair, the rob C hristian said bery occurred. several deputies “ The male subject pulled headed toout a knife and stuck it to Mr. Iker’s side and told him he wanted some money and all the coins he had,” Christian said. Although the more valu-

The vehicle pulled into the local

convenience store. “ My hope was he would travel on past the store,” Christian said. “It was during their busy time with a lot of people around. As luck would have it, he decided to pull in there.” Christian exited his patrol vehicle, drew his sidearm and conducted a felony stop, holding the suspects there until Lighthorse police and sheriff’s deputies arrived. “We took them into custody and recovered probably all of the money at this time,” Christian said. “They were both arrested on suspicion of armed robbery and taken to the Pontotoc County Justice Center. As of press time Wednesday, both suspects remain in the Justice Center with bail set at $100,000 each.

Community Building Progressing

Work is progressing on the Allen Community Building (also known as the A l u m n i Building) in downtown Allen. Donations of $16,000 in addition to the SODA grant money of $34,000 have allowed for the roof repair and the installation of the air condition/heating unit. Both of which are almost completed. The next step in the renovation process will be the electrical work. Estimate from the electrician is $12,000. This will be followed by updating the plumbing, the addition of insulation, and then replacing the ceiling tiles and drywall. The goal of having the building useable for the 2012 AHS Alumni Reunion and Banquet is still doable with hard work and additional donations. As can be seen, a lot remains to be done and additional monies will be needed. Donations may be sent to the Allen City Hall, Community Building Fund, PO Box 402, Allen, OK 74825. Those who have made contributions to the fund are Benny Prentice, Allen; Bonnie Lou Stanford, McA- Circus strongman Harley Bell (Amber Ford) posed for this publicity shot with bossman Harold Harcontinued Page 3

Wayne Bullard is not only my dear friend but also my favorite columnist. His recent column on weapons was my all time favorite. When I read the following item I knew Wayne would enjoy it. Patrolman Patrick Irick writes that a while back he made a traffic stop on an elderly woman. As she looked for her driver’s license he noticed her conceal-carry permit. “Do you have a weapon in your possession at this time?” he asked. “Yes, a .45 automatic in the glove box,” she said. “Do you have any other firearms?” “A 9mm Glock in the center console.” “Is that all?” “And a .38 Special in my purse,” she admitted. I smiled. “What are you so afraid of?” Looking me right in the eye, she said, “Not a damn thing.” —CC— Jerry Smith brought by one of the most interesting articles I have ever read. It was written by Jamie Robert Vollmer. America’s public schools can be traced back to the year 1640. The Massachusetts Puritans established schools to: 1) Teach basic reading, some writing and arithmetic skills, and 2) Cultivate values that serve a democratic society (some history and civics implied). The founders of these schools assumed that families and churches bore the major responsibility for raising a child. Gradually, science and geography were added, but the curriculum was limited and remained focused for 260 years.  At the beginning of the twentieth century, however, politicians, academics, members of the clergy, and business leaders saw public schools as a logical site for the assimilation of immigrants

and the social engineering of the citizens—and workers—of the new industrial age. They began to expand the curriculum and assign additional duties. That trend has accelerated ever since. From 1900 to 1910, we shifted to our public schools responsibilities related to • Nutrition • Immunization • Health (Activities in the health arena multiply every year.) From 1910 to 1930, we added • Physical education (including organized athletics) • The Practical Arts/ Domestic Science/Home economics (including sewing and cooking) • Vocational education (including industrial and agricultural education) • M a n d a t e d s c h o o l transportation In the 1940s, we added • Business education (including typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping) • Art and music • Speech and drama • Half-day kindergarten • School lunch programs (We take this for granted today, but it was a huge step to shift to the schools the job of feeding America’s children one third of their daily meals.) In the 1950s, we added • Expanded science and math education • Safety education • Driver’s education • Expanded music and art education • S t r o n g e r f o r e i g n language requirements • Sex education (Topics continue to escalate.) In the 1960s, we added • Advanced Placement programs • Head Start • Title I • Adult education • Consumer education (purchasing resources, rights and responsibilities) • C a r e e r e d u c a t i o n (occupational options, entry level skill requirements) • Peace, leisure, and recreation education [Loved those sixties.] In the 1970s, the breakup of the American family accelerated, and we added • Drug and alcohol abuse education • Parenting education (techniques and tools for

healthy parenting) • Behavior adjustment classes (including classroom and communication skills) • Character education • S p e c i a l e d u c a t i o n

(mandated by federal government) • Title IX programs (greatly expanded athletic programs for girls)

notification of optional supplemental services, comprehensive restructuring plans, and reports of Adequate Yearly Progress. It’s a ponderous list. Each item has merit, and all have their ardent supporters, but the truth is that we have added these responsibilities without adding a single minute to the school calendar in six decades. No generation of teachers and administrators in the history of the world has been told to fulfill this mandate: not just teach children, but raise them! —CC— And last of all, this story sounds familiar . . .

Threads of Life THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, MARCH 15, 2012- PAGE 4

by Cleo Emerson LeVally I really enjoyed reading the story of Peggy Snow in last week’s paper. She is my cousin and her mother and dad, Beatrice and Alvin Self, were the age of my two oldest sisters, Vera Emerson Bodkin and Mabel Emerson Heidler. The three girls spent a lot of time growing up together and

-- Memories --

they had many stories to tell of those times. M y sister Mabel was the one who named Peggy’s brother Derondo. I especially remember Vera and Mabel talking of their walks on

Thank You

Every act of kindness was greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten. Friends are so kind and dear when sorrow is near. Thank you for all the food, phone calls, prayers, flowers, and cards. We loved him dearly and will miss him. God called him home and now we have an angel watching over us.

the River Bridge outside of Atwood. My family lived on the Sam Irwin farm just past the big bridge. That is where my brother, Leon, was born. I have gone back to visit that site and always remember the girls talking about the times they had there. One time the Emerson family was planning a family reunion and I asked Peggy’s mother, Beatrice, and her sister, Ruby Aldridge Quinn, to tape some of their earlier memories of when they grew up at Atwood. They did the tape but laughed so much telling the stories that we could not understand anything they talked about. So I had to call Beatrice and ask her to tell me of some of the times about growing up in Atwood. This is the story that Beatrice Aldridge Self told for that fam-

ily reunion. She said she was always getting into trouble. She said one of the things the kids liked to do was put pins on the railroad tracks and then they would go and sit on the gate and watch the trains go by. When the train passed they would go down to the tracks and pick up ‘the little scissors’ that the train had made from the pins. She told that Ruby always liked to primp and it took her a long time to get ready to go any place. So Beatrice would have to do the chores, milk the cows, do the dishes, etc., while Ruby was getting ready. Then all Beatrice would have time to do was run a comb through her hair. She said she had to humor Ruby. S he remembered visiting Grandmother Emerson’s house (Grandmother Abercrombie

by then, because Beatrice was born in 1906 and Grandmother had married Wilford Franklin Abercrombie in 1903). She said the house was yellow and was a two-story house. (This was the Scales Ranch, located about ¼ mile East and ¼ or ½ mile South of the Leader Corner and Highway 48. I always thought of it as between the Leader Community and Atwood) One time Beatrice, Vera and Mabel went to visit our Uncle Albert and Aunt Minnie Valentine, brother of grandmother, Julia Maria, and they got beaus. Vera liked her cousin Vestal Valentine and Mabel’s boyfriend was named Derondo. Beatrice remembers he was very good looking. Mabel did also so when Beatrice and Alvin’s son was born, Mabel asked if they would name him Derondo and they did. He was the only person I ever knew who was named Derondo.

Pharmacist’s View

The row of old store buildings just stood there — no roofs and no fronts, just native stone walls and smooth cement floors. The walls made for excellent nesting for the countless sparrows that lived there. My brother Gerald and I thought this place was created for our personal pleasure — one that included shooting birds with our BB gun. Gerald did the shooting — just had one BB gun — and I carried the sack — the sack that we took the dead birds home in. Saturday nights in Centrahoma were pretty dull — but we didn’t know it. Those that had a radio might just invite friends over and sit around listening to the Grand Old Opry out of Nashville. Some would drive over to Coalgate and see a movie at Eddie Holt’s Wigwam Theater. Times were, after all, getting better now that the war had started. Prosperity, however, had mostly bypassed Centrahoma. Then one day my bird hunting brother and I

noticed activity at our hunting place — the roofless buildings. In the building on the corner the floors were swept, wires were being strung from wall to wall. “What’s happening?” Gerald asked someone. “ Gonna’ be a dance here on Saturday nights from now on” the man said. And he was almost right — except for the “now on” part. The next Saturday night cars were parked everywhere alongside Highway 3. My mom told Gerald and me to stay in the house and “don’t go near that place.” We had never considered not attending and the sun hadn’t been down long before we crept out the back door to give the big dance the once over. They had a live band and a big crowd as the odor of spirits wafted across the highway to our hideaway in a nearby weed patch. People were dancing and watching the action, just like us. The bootleggers were doing a good job selling both homemade and

branded whisky along with chock beer. I knew all this because my worldly brother knew and kept up a running commentary on what he saw. The preachers had a field day the next day — denouncing the evil operation to church members (some of which had probably participated in the big event themselves.) As the long summer weeks went by the dance got bigger and folks trying to listen to the Opry on WSN (650 on your radio dial) out of Nashville had to crank up the volume to overcome the loudspeakers installed atop the stone building hosting the dance. There was so much “trouble” that the Coal County Sheriff’s Department would send officers up there. My Uncle J. C. said this was done to collect kickbacks from the bootleggers — not to police the place. He would know. People in the churches had been praying to be rid of the bawdy dance but didn’t expect it to end in the way it did. The dance had become a major

topic of conversation in the area and when the event happened it spelled “The End” of the great dance. That Saturday night we were, as usual, listening to the Opry when we heard the brakes and tires of a speeding car, a loud crash and the screams of the crowd as an out of control Pontiac crashed into some parked cars and spectators. My brother and I made the trip to the wreck in record time and found some injured people but the whole scene was dominated by the unending screams of a woman. A woman had been impaled on the floor-mounted shift lever.

Sandra Fluke, a law student at Georgetown university made headlines a week ago when she testified before house Democrats regarding birth control contraception being covered by insurance. She testified, “Without insurance coverage,

not exist. They would have us believe that sexual relations out of marriage are perfectly alright and that whether homosexual or straight doesn’t matter. Satan would have us believe that knowing God’s word and obeying it is not important because anything you believe or want to do is alright. This satanic philosophy is based upon the premise that: 1). there is no God, 2). that man (all life) arose and evolved from nonliving matter, 3). that the Bible is not from God and 4). that all religions are based upon myths and legends. T hus, man is the highest form of life in existence and whatever man believes or does is right and good if it works for him. Let’s not be deceived! God’s word says, “Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. (Heb. 13:4) And, Jesus said in Revelation 21:8 that the sexually immoral “shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Light from God’s Word contraception prevention can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school.” My first reaction was, “why do students need birth control?” and “Are we who do not believe in immorality expected to help pay for their immorality through higher insurance premiums? (Of course, some students may be married.) The majority in our society do not seem to recognize any activity as immoral! Satan has convinced most people today that it is wrong to condemn the beliefs and actions of anyone; that we must be accepting and tolerate of all life styles. Most people seem to believe that any and every religious teaching is approved by God and that religious false teaching does

You could hear her for blocks and by the time the ambulances and officers got the scene cleaned up, the dance was done — for good. The place was declared a public nuisance and that week the electric lines came down and the next Saturday night all was quiet in Centrahoma. Once in a while if you listened real carefully you could hear the thump of a BB gun back in action. Hope you are enjoying this spring weather as much as I am. Be sure and go to church next Sunday.

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

However, at some point we are to become spiritually strong enough to bear our own burdens so that we can help others with theirs. Even in that we are not left to struggle through on our own. We can always seek the help of Jesus. In fact, we are to take our burdens to Jesus and leave them there. Only then will we be able to come away truly victorious. It is a law of nature that we will reap what we sow. Sometimes, though, we think we’re sowing one thing and we’re actually sowing something else. We may fool ourselves and others, but we can’t fool God. He knows what kind of seeds we are sowing. If we sow fleshly seeds, we will reap corruption. If we sow spiritual seeds, we will reap life everlasting. With great wealth comes great temptation for more power and more wealth. If we don’t give up on sowing seeds of the Spirit, though, we will reap a harvest that is many, many times more valuable than any worldly gains.

Atwood Church of the Nazarene

Spring is in the air and we are busy preparing for the Easter season. In our Sunday School classes we are reviewing the last days of Jesus life here on earth. In our worship service Bro. Larry sang a song about the troubles of this world entitled “These Are The Things That Drive Me Crazy.” Many things intrude on our walk with God, but in the end He is in control. Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from Exodus 20:1-10 and entitled “God’s Expectations for Us.” He expects first place in our lives. He is the Lord: Maker of Heaven and Earth, the Redeemer of all the Saved, and the One who is worthy of all honor, glory and respect. It is not sufficient to simply accept Him as Savior. It is necessary to make Him Lord of our lives. We must not allow anything else to capture our affections. We need to be reminded that we are responsible for those who are following us. Are those following you following you into a deeper relationship with God? Do our lips say one thing, but our lives reveal something quite different? He expects us to live up to the name we claim. This commandment is for His people and it really doesn’t say anything about speech. To claim a relationship with God demands a life worthy of the claim. How many people think poorly of God because of the actions of “Christians.” He expects us to honor His day. God took time to make His will quite clear in this area. It is not just another day. It is a holy day to be set aside for rest and spiritual renewal and reflection. God says we are to make this day holy. Do we need to re-examine our attitude toward the things of God? Especially the Sabbath? We invite you to join us for Wednesday night prayer meeting. We have services for the teens and the younger kids. Sunday morning we will be serving donuts, juice and coffee before services. We invite you to come at 9:30 and join us. Dates to remember: April 7 - Bake Sale and Garage Sale 8-2 April 7 - Egg Hunt 2:00 LaTrishia’s house April 28 - Oudoor Gospel Singing, 4:00, with singers “Broken Vessel” & “The Gasteneaus” June 18-22 - Bible School 9-11:30

THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, MARCH 15, 2012 - PAGE 7

A capacity crowd was on hand Saturday night to witnessed the murder of Ariel Swinger (aka Marcy Thompson), the trapeze artist with the Hargrove Family Circus. The circus was performing at the Allen School Cafeteria when the incident occurred. Of course we’re talking about the annual murder mystery dinner hosted by the Allen School Art Club and the Allen Sorority. Guests and players alike then tried to solve the clues and discover the culprit . . . and just so you know, the Ruby the Clown (aka Mary Engle), who have been embezzling from the circus and stealing from the customers, did the deed. A lively cast of characters dressed the part and portrayed the members of the circus. Acting as the bossman, Harold Hargrove, was Chad Kaminski; his wife was portrayed by Christy Turman. Ringmaster Boomer Jackson, the voice of the circus, was Jonathan Hicks; ticket taker Finley Fiscal was Grant Stinson; Ariel Swinger, the victim, was Marcy

Thompson; Robert Flyer, Ariel’s co-performer on the trapeze, was played by Chad Nix; Twisty Kristy, the acrobat was Amber; knife thrower Nick Dagger was portrayed by Frayne Black; Skylar Toppolet the tightrope walker, was Carolyn Phillips; Mary Engle was sinister Ruby the Clown; and James Barlow was Cat Levens, the lion tamer; Also working with the animals was Ricky Mammal, aka Sue Boyd; Rowan McGregor, the midway director, was played by Colten Browning; Amber Ford did an outstanding job as Harley Bell, the circus strong person; as did Charity Stinson as Payton Protector, head of security; and last but not least, was FBI Agent Swift, played by Amanda Tollett. The play followed a circus-style meal of hot dogs & chips, and a variety of “midway” games were available to be played throughout the evening. The Art Club and Sorority wish to thank everyone who participated and are looking forward to

next year’s play.

Event coordinator Janice Deaton and animal worker Ricky Mammal (Sue Boyd) worked hard to make the Art Club Mystery Dinner a success.

Guests at the Art Club Murder Mystery dinner were well protected. Head of Security Payton Protector and FBI Agent Swift (Charity Stinson and Amanda Tollett) were on duty all evening.

I wonder if Spettle’s theatre wasn’t built on the site where Millard Wilson’s filling station

(and rumored bootlegging outlet) had stood earlier. Anyway, just south of it was Thompson’s drug store. It must have closed about 1933 when Mr. Thompson, I believe, moved to Ada and opened a bookstore. Arthur Gaddy put his cleaning and pressing business in that or an adjacent building. The next building up the street was used as the American Legion hut where dances were held on most Saturday nights, at least when the weather was good. In the summer when the doors were open, my grandfather would often walk up from across the tracks and sit out front just to listen to the music even if the band only had a fiddle and a guitar. Sometimes a mandolin would be added, but vocalists seemed to be scarce. Finally, on the of the west side corner stood the First National Bank, where my father worked from about 1918 until it was moved to Holdenville in 1934. The building stood empty for a time then was used as a library of discarded reading materials. (That could have been a WPA project for all I know.) The southwest corner of that building also held a doctor’s office where one morning in the summer of 1934 five of us had our tonsils removed. For some unknown reason I volunteered to go first. Dr. McCary did the surgery, Dr. Martin assisted, and Dr. Spettle administered the open-drop ether. “It stinks!” I insisted. “ Just blow it out then,” Dr. Spettle advised. It only took a

couple of such deep breaths, and I was “out.” “Recovery” was in my father’s arms in the waiting room. As I awoke, I could hear Weston Howell, one of the later patients, also objecting to the anesthesia. It was many years later before it became clear that August was probably the worst month of the year to have a tonsillectomy. The procedure weakened ones resistance to polio just at the time the virus was at its peak. Fortunately, none of us five succumbed. Directly across the intersection from the bank sat A. D. Brians filling station although early in the Thirties he moved his business to the Texaco station across Highway 1 from the Methodist Church and put in some tourist cabins. Next up the street on the east side Brooks Allen and Gus Hardwick(?) had an ice house out of which they made deliveries all over town. In the winter months they would deliver a load of coal to your house if you wished and at any time help you move your belongings from one house to another. Gus also served as justice of the peace. In that capacity he performed the wedding of Ord Griffin and Blanche Mauldin in our living room. Ord’s shivaree was the only one I recall participating in (although I was only seven years old at the time). We’ll work our way on up the street next time.

Update from Chief Holcomb

by Eric Holcomb Allen Chief of Police Well, it’s been a busy month so far; we have investigated several reports of domestic violence, some forgeries and bad checks.  We even had an armed robbery in Allen, now that’s something I’m sure we weren’t expecting at all. I ra Iker was taken at the point of a knife and, being the Allenite he is, fought back as soon as he was able to by sending some hot lead toward

his robbers. I’m sure his quick thinking and fast actions not only helped to identify the suspects who robbed him but it also will make anyone else think twice about robbing or harming him or another Allen resident. He reported the incident immediately allowing us to get the information on the Red Chevrolet Avalanche with bullet holes occupied by a man and a woman out in time for the Sheriff to start down Francis Road from Byng and locate the vehicle.

Allen FBC Host Youth Disciple Weekend

Fifty-two students, along with team leaders, gathered at the Allen First Baptist Church this Friday evening for the kick-off of an INDWELL D-Now weekend. Disciple Now is a nationwide youth movement to expand the Christian experience. Following registration, a worship service featuring the music of “We Were Fiction” was lead by the weekend speaker and former Allen resident Steve Bullard. Steve now serves as youth pastor for the Southern Hills Baptist Church of Tulsa. Youth was then dismissed into their small groups and traveled to their host homes along with their group leaders. Staying at the home of Marty and Melissa Sells were the 7th & 8th grade girls and their leader Alyssa Gonzalez. Girls attending were Alison Sells, Alycia Evans, Hannah Heck, Shannon Pedzinski, Taylor Johnson, Tiffany Johnson, Caitlin Riddle, Brandi Thompson, Chelsea Wedlow, Faith Caldwell, Grace Laden, Isabel Finney, Kayla Lawler and Jamie Allred. Dennis and Mary Pat Sappenfield hosted the 9th & 10th grade girls: Bethany Edmonds, Britten Wallace, Emilee Costner, Emily Wade, Cierra Melton, Sandra Rowsey, Tosha Deatherage, Jessi Merriman and Meagan Beavert. Leaders were Sammi Hembree and Chelsea Jordan. Wayne and Vicki Christian opened their home to the 11th & 12th grade girls: Crissy Fenwick, Hailee Alcaida, Heather McCarn, Jacklyn Deaton, Jessie Spencer, Catlin Gardner, Savanna Cook, Shelby Millsap, Morgan Beavert, Annie Harrington, Ophelia Rodriguez, Savanna Cook and Katie Back. Group leaders were Kristin Hall and Allison Hall. The boys were divided between the homes of Chad and Jill Kaminski and Glenda Ferguson. The younger students, 7th & 8th graders, were in the Ferguson home. Those guests were Brett Mann, Jeffrey Deaton, Preston Wallace, Dusty Matthews, Rush Black, Austin Thompson, and Wyatt Corum. Leaders were David Bentley and Zack Gamble. High school boys, grades 9th thru 12th, staying at the Kaminski home were Aaron Mowery, Conner Johnson, David Barlow, Jacob Gardner, Josh Remis, Justin Deaton, Matt McCarn, Steven Nelson, Tyler Mann, Lane Lambert, Bertin Leon and Jose Velazquez. Group leaders were Matthew Stephens and Brandon Morton. Sam and Melonie Johnson hosted the band members, David Raney of Edmond, Rick Cordova of Tulsa, and Austin Taylor and Zack of Oklahoma City. Saturday events included a luncheon cookout at the home of Wayne and Pat Bullard, and a town-wide scavenger hunt. Following the evening worship session at the church a bonfire, complete with hot dogs and s’mores, was enjoyed at the Ferguson farm in Gerty. Sunday ended the event with the regular morning worship service at the church, again led by Steven Bullard, and a potluck lunch with family and church members. Allen First Baptist Church youth pastors Steve and Kristen Hall coordinated the event and wish to thank all the hosts, workers, and those that attended for make it such an outstanding event.

the vehicle, description of the vehicle and suspects matching perfectly will make this a hard case to weasel out of. We had 17 new warrants issued in court Monday and so far have closed four of those with arrest and payment as of the time of this update. I would like to remind people we have statewide jurisdiction on a municipal warrant and will travel anywhere in the boundaries

of this state to arrest you. If it comes to the point we have to come get you then your costs go up considerably, you have to pay mileage, expenses, and a minimum of an additional $100.00 for the warrant. We are working on code enforcement and, with mowing season on us, I’d like to ask you to please keep the yards mowed and your areas cleaned

so that we don’t have to begin an abatement process. As always, I look forward to any comments and questions you may have so please feel free to call or come by and see me at the office or we can visit anywhere in town you may see me. H ave a GREAT week Allen!
