—HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—NOVEMBER 2, 2011,

All of us that have stood in the “express” line for long periods of time can appreciate the following article by Chonda Pierce.

What Part of “Ten Items or Less” Don’t You Understand? The young woman’s hand seemed to move in slow motion. All I could do was stand – frozen – and watch as she reached higher and higher, until her fi ngers twisted around a cotton string that was attached to a beaded chain that was attached to a light switch. With a quick yank on the string the plastic number three began to blink. Then, still in slow motion, she lifted a black phone from its cradle and spoke into its mouthpiece. Her tired voice rang throughout the store: “Price check on aisle three, please. Price check on aisle three.” It looked like another long day at Stal-Mart. And I was next in line, too! I thought I had picked a good line. The woman in front of me had only two items – but one of those turned out to be a turtleneck sweater with no price tag. After the cashier made her announcement, she stepped away from the register, folded her arms and leaned against the wall of her little cubicle, getting comfortable. Now, this was not the fi rst price check I’d lived through – housewares, electronics, kids’ wear, I’d had lots of experience. But women’s wear was big trouble. I know women who will pick up a blouse and fall in love with it. But as the day goes on, usually somewhere in the automotive section, the love affair ends, and the blouse is left hanging from a spark-plug display. “It’s okay,” the woman says. “It give the workers something to do.” And I’m convinced that part of the workers’ job is to remove the price tag before they fi nd its real home. By the time that blouse can be matched up with similar blouses that do have a price tag, I was thinking, my ice cream will be melted, my cabbage wilted. Yes, I should have known that a turtleneck sweater was trouble. I gritted my teeth, gripped the buggy handle, and pulled back from aisle three. For a moment I just hovered in the No-Buy Zone – you know, that big area in front of the registers where you don’t shop, but you cruise back and forth in search of the perfect checkout line. I noticed the light for aisle seven was on, so I set out. My wheels squawking, I yanked the cart a hard right rather than try to roll the long way around the popcorn display. (Someone always puts up the oddest displays in the No-Buy Zone. Cheaper than speed bumps, I guess.) Aisle seven would take you even if your cart was crammed full and overfl owing – or even pulling a second cart in tow, like the train that cut me off. The train’s driver saw me coming, I know she did, and if it hadn’t been for the box of Cap’n Crunch that came fl ying out of the second cart, I’d have beat her to the belt. But I had to brake hard to avoid the cereal box, which allowed her carts to zip in just before mine. The mother ushered and tugged her buggies into the channel. With a hard look, I studied the toddler in the second cart as it passed by me. He was grinning, mouth smeared with something sweet. He waved at me and pointed at the Cap’n Crunch. I smelled a conspiracy. No time to lament. I spun the cart 360 degrees (barely missing the display for Titanic bath soap.) Number three was still fl ashing, the cashier still resting. But now light one was on – and the lane was empty! I pushed the cart hard and felt my cargo shift. On the way past three, I noticed the woman who wanted the turtleneck was pulling and tugging at the sweater, searching inside the neck, under the arms, everywhere, for that elusive price tag. I slowed and cruised into aisle one at a safe speed. There to greet me was a young girl with lavender eye shadow, green lipstick and black fi ngernail polish. (I am not making this up.) In between the chomping sounds she made on her wad of bubble gum (bigger than my fi st), she was talking to the cashier at the register next to her about Billy Earl and something about a fi stfi ght with Ernestine and how “mama’s done kilt ‘em both.” (I’ll interpret for you later.) In the middle of her sentence, she glanced my way for a split second, long enough to say, “Sorry ma’am, but this is the express lane. Five items or less.” I kept waiting for her to say, “Just kidding” or “Come on in. I’ll take you anyway”, but she didn’t. Rather than move, I studied my load. I didn’t have too much. “I think I’m close on the count here,” I told her, ashamed at how pleading my voice sounded. Just about the time Billy Earl done went down to Tucson and bought a doublewide, she put one hand on her hip and fi nally looked at me. “Maybe you are close,” she said. “but sometimes we have customers who have small emergencies, like sick children at home, or they’ve run out of diapers, or they need batteries for their fl ashlights because the power has been knocked out. Things like that. That’s what this aisle here is for, so people with real emergencies don’t have to wait so long.” I looked back. There was no one behind me. “There are no emergencies right now!” She chose not to hear this and instead said, “Perhaps you should try . . .” she paused as she scanned across the aisles, “. . . aisle three. It looks like she can take you over there.” And she went back to planning her outfi t for whenever Billy earl got back from Tucson. I looked over to aisle three and saw that the light was on and not fl ashing. “You’re serious?” I asked. I studied the hostess of aisle one, but all she did was shrug her pretty little shoulders and say, “Store policy.” I jerked the buggy backward, the wheels grinding and bouncing and leaving a dotted black skid mark on the tile fl oor that someone would later probably have to use a giant buffer to remove. The cashier at aisle three saw me coming; I know she did. And I saw her lean back against her little cubicle, arms folded, yawning. I clipped a tin of popcorn on the way past and sent it wobbling into the path of an oncoming buggy. I thought about the little toddler in buggy number two, tossing out boxes of Cap’n Crunch that worked like mortar shells to keep incoming buggies away, and felt rather proud of this tactic. But before I arrived at the conveyor belt, before I could grab up that little baton and slap it down on the black surface to keep someone else’s groceries from getting mixed up with mine, the yawning cashier picked up a cone-shaped object that advertised cigarettes and set it down on the belt. Below the advertisement was the note, “This Register Closed.” “You mean after me, right?” I said. “Sorry, but it’s my break time.” She yawned, slipped out of her cubicle, and walked away. “Aisle seventeen is open with no waiting,” blared a voice over the PA

system. Again I reversed out of the aisle and turned my buggy in the direction of aisle seventeen, which was so far away I doubted my own strength and stamina to make it that far, just past the fl ea and tick display. Frozen in place, I couldn’t move. In moments, my heart slowly sank as I watched a tiny buggy (at least it looked tiny from that far away) slip into the spot marked aisle seventeen. I could only lean forward on my buggy, parked motionless beside a cardboard cutout of the Titanic, and watch my hope slip away. But I wasn’t going to cry. I knew then that I had no other option. I began to throw items overboard – Pringles, plastic coat hangers, shoe polish, some fuzzy socks with rubber grips on the bottoms, and at least a half-dozen other odds and ends – until I was down to fi ve items. (The socks dangled dangerously from the bow of the Titanic, but that would give the workers something to do.) Then, with renewed determination, I turned my buggy about and aimed again for aisle number one – the express lane. “Hi, remember me? Just waiting to hear if Billy Earl got the doublewide back to Tennessee.” (Okay, I’ll admit I said it with a bit of sarcasm. She was not amused.) Before she could say anything, I told her, “I have fi ve items, and I’m in a hurry – this is an emergency.” She smiled because that was what she was supposed to do. “Did you fi nd everything you needed today?” she asked, as she began to scan my items. I had kept a pair of big, fuzzy houseshoes, and she picked them up, and studied them as though they were a puppy. “How cute!” she squealed. She turned them over once, twice, without fi nding what she was looking for. When she reached for the cotton string that dangled just above her head – the string that was attached to the chain that was attached to the fl ashing light – I grabbed the shoes from her and laid them on the chewing gum rack beside the register. “I’ll get those some other time,” I said. She looked confused. “But they’re so cute!” I took my four items and left, wadding up my shopping list and stuffi ng it into my pocket as I walked. Before I could get to the door, I heard a voice on the PA. I recognized it as the sleepy voice of the cashier on aisle three. She was asking for a price check from women’s wear on a pair of fuzzy socks with rubber grips on the bottoms. Later that evening, my husband called to tell me he was on his way home. “Can I pick anything for you on my way?” I pulled the crumpled shopping list out of my pocket and fl attened it out on the counter. “As a matter of fact,” I said, “while you’re out . . .”

—CC— One of my favorite pastors is Chuck Swindoll. I often listen to him on BOTT radio and have read many of his books. I am sure he has faced many “express line” problems and suggests how we should deal with them . . . “The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company . . . a church . . . a home. The remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past . . . we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude . . . I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you . . . we are in charge of our attitudes.”

—CC— And last of all, my favorite story of the week . . . A little girl reported at home what she had learned at Sunday school concerning the creation of Adam and Eve: “The teacher told us how God made the fi rst man and the fi rst woman. He made man fi rst. But the man was very lonely with nobody to talk to him. So God put the man to sleep. And while the man was asleep, God took out his brains and made a woman out of them.”

Today we continue with Chapter 36 of the H. Lee Gra-ham book highlighting his growing-up days in Holden-ville. It brings back a lot of memories, and we hope our readers are enjoying it.

by H. Lee GrahamMY CLASSMATE Luvalee

Carter and her Pa danced a jig and whooped with delight when oil began to fl ow from their fi rst well.

“Is they anythin’ special you want, hon?” Mr. Carter asked after he had fl opped down into a patched-up wickerwork chair to rest.

“Yep, Pa,” Said Lu. “ AH want me a closet full of purty gladrags and a spiffy new otty-moble.”

Lu hailed everyone within hollering distance when she wheeled up to school in a new blue Modle-A Ford. : They didn’t have no red un.”She ex-plained, “Ah jist decided t’ git m’ hair dyed red instead.”

And along with the garish red locks, she had opted for a pair of splike-heeled red showed. “These ain’t the fi rst uns Ah ever owned,” bragged Lu, “but they air shire the highest.”

Indeed. Flapper Lu teetered precariously on the high heels as her girlfriends and the older high school boys examined her sporty car.

Lu reckoned she was old enough t to be a college senior. ”But Pappy and me think Ah done purty good jist to git to the eighth grade,” she said.

She broke the eight parts of speech into so many segments that “edgetives” and “pret-tykates” were all but lost to her there was nothing simple about a simple subject, and a compound sentence might have been ninety-nine years in the hoosegow for all she knew.

A boy named Willie Thorpe, who sat across the aisle from Lu, blamed her when he fl unked

one of Myrtle Humber’s six-weeks exams. Willie was slow-talking and slow-witted, but he was just as prurient as the next boy.

“Lu, next time y’all write notes on yer thigh, don’t go clean up to your pink panties,” he groused,” Ah couldn’t con-centrate a whit when you kept lookin’ fer answers.”

IN VOCATIONAL guidance class one day, J.W beckoned for me to lean close and whis-pered across the aisle: “I’ve got’ La Paloma” down pretty good, H. Lee. I’ll play it for you after school.”

A smoker from the time he was in the fourth grade, J.W. never had money for cigarettes and had to scrounge for butts. We called it “shooting snipes.”

Pausing behind the post of-fi ce as we strolled through town that afternoon, J.W. glanced around to see if anybody was looking, then picked up a half- smoked cigarette.

“Chesterfi eld.” He said. “Luckies are better, but I didn’t see any long ones.”

He lit up and offered me a drag, knowing I would decline it. We stopped at the pond be-side an abandoned cotton gun and as on the grassy bank. After smoking the butt nearly to the fi ery end, J.W. fl ipped it into the water and fi shed his harmonica from his pocket.

He played “La Paloma” soft-ly and sweetly, with great feel-ing.

“Beautiful.” I said, after he had played it through a second time. “You’ve got a good ear for music.”

“Mexican music,” he said. “It’s because I love it so.” He slapped the spit out of the har-monica and returned it to his overalls pocket. “I want to get me an accordion and learn to play Mexican songs on it.”

“I’d be satisfi ed if I could

even play any song on the juice-blower, W.W, ‘La Paloma’ in particular.”

I’ll teach you.” Dock and Audrey gave me an

allowance of a quarter a week. I used my next quarter to buy a harmonica, and J.W. began to give me instructions on how to play it.

“We’ll start with ‘Home Sweet Home’,” he said.” It’s easy as pie.” To demonstrate, he played a few bars of it on his harmonica.

I blew the fi rst few notes of the nostalgic old song but then drifted into discordant garble.

J.W. shook his head and gave me another cue.

I tried it again several times but did no better.

“H. Lee,” he said after sev-eral days during which I had made no noticeable improve-ment, “maybe you’d better give up on the juice-blower. Try a Jew’s harp.”

I tossed him my harmonica. “I’ll give u on both.”

We’re Always Here for You- 23 Years -

Many Makes and Models AvailableRepublicans Raising Cain with a black guy Didn’t look like much of a candidate to me. First of all he was black, southern, a cancer survivor (remember Fred Brown?) and a failed candidate for the U. S. Senate. Yet, here he is challenging all the other Republican candidates and doing a pretty darn good job of it. Plus he is a captain of industry (well, at least the Pizza Industry) and Republicans seem to be drawn to his business successes. And did I say he was another black guy? That may be a consequential factor in Cain’s appeal to the conservative voters and how uncommon is that? Cain’s audiences are almost entirely white. At one fundraiser, out of about 150 people, a reporter for the Washington Examiner counted only one black couple. When you ask Cain’s white supporters why they like him, almost none mention race. But occasionally someone will say they would like to see Republicans have a black candidate of their own who could go toe-to-toe with Obama. Cain, when asked for his thoughts on this theory of why he appeals to conservative audiences said: “First, many Republicans have a soft spot for

business candidates. Second, they’re particularly drawn to my plain-talk candidacy because they’re dissatisfi ed with the rest of the GOP fi eld. And third, many Republicans have internalized the Democratic/liberal criticism that they oppose Obama because he is black and that whenever they attack the president on this or that issue, they say the real motivation behind it is race. Perhaps Herman Cain could take it to Obama without all that racial baggage. And will the race card played by Democrats go away if Herman Cain gets the nomination? Not at all. Liberals and Democrats still fi nd a racially-based way to attack Cain the same way they found a way to so viciously attack Clarence Thomas, the black, conservative Supreme Court justice — and they got by with it. “They’re going to come after me more viciously than they would a white candidate,” And so, to use Clarence Thomas as an example, I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching that he went through — for the good of this country.” Cain smiled broadly. “I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching.” Cain has indeed received a lot of painful words from the black leadership in America with them calling him a lackey, an Uncle

Tom, and a black man who has been brought in to make the Tea Party members feel better about their raciest selves. Cain answers such criticism with “They’re just mad ‘because I’ve left the plantation — also known as the Democrat Party. These blacks make no secret of their hatred of Cain who in turn charges that the Democratic Party has delivered their race over to perpetual poverty in return for their votes by making them slaves to welfare, public housing and federal programs. Cain says he has bigger and brighter hopes for Americans — black and white. Finally, there is one more issue that has rarely been discussed about Cain: his age. If elected, Cain would be 67 years old on Inauguration Day 2013 — the third-oldest man in history to assume the presidency — if elected. It will be interesting to see how Cain’s bid for the presidency plays out in America in Oklahoma and yes, in Allen. It’s a long time ‘till election time. I hope all of you are enjoying this time of year and if any of you would wish to be president you need to get in the race now as this may be your best chance yet. Be sure and go to church this Sunday.

One Pharmacist’s View

will never be the same without her. She will also be missed by her treasured brother Thomas Norman and his son Derrick Norman and her loving sister

Regina Parsons ( N o r m a n /Moser) along with countless other friends and family who knew her as “JJ” and whom were blessed to have known her. Janet loved reading, gardening and her animals; loves she has passed onto her children.

Janet was a remarkable, yet simple woman who touched the lives of many people with her smile and generosity. She was kind without reproach and when she laughed, you knew it and were the better for it. Her loss is immeasurable. Friends and family attended a memorial service on October 30th at 2:00 PM at the Hudson Funeral Home Chapel in Holdenville, Oklahoma. The family requests all donations be sent to the Humane Society of East Texas.

Service Held ForJanet Margaret Jones

The Pastor PondersA newly married couple

was looking for a house in the country to rent. After fi nding one, they moved in and made it their home. Upon arriving, the new bride noticed that they did not have a bathroom com-mode, so she decided to write a letter to the owner of the home from whom they were renting. Being a bit shy and modest however, she hesitated as she referred to “bathroom com-mode” so she just used the ini-tials “B.C.”

The landlord, not knowing what she meant by “B.C.”,

pondered a while and decided she meant “Baptist Church” and wrote the following reply:

Dear Madam:I regret very much my de-

lay in answering your letter, but now I take the pleasure of informing you that there is a “B.C.” located nine miles from your home and is capable of seating 250 people. This is very unfortunate indeed if you are in the habit of going regu-larly, but no doubt you will be interested to know that a great number of people take their lunch and make it a day. They

usually arrive early and stay late.

The last time my wife and I went was six years ago, and we had to stand the whole time. It may interest you to know that a supper has been planned to raise money to buy more seats. I would like to say that it pains me very much not to go more regularly, but it is certainly no lack of desire on my part. As we grow older, it seems to be more diffi cult of an effort, es-pecially in cold weather

Your letter prompts me how-ever to go more often and I trust I will see you and your husband there soon.

Sincerely,Your LandlordIf it is true that humor is

good medicine, then I hope the above story gave you a good laugh! The lesson learned has to do with how we communi-cate with each other and how we often send mixed messag-es if we do not communicate properly. We may have the best of intentions from what we wish to communicate, but if we are not clear, we send distorted messages to others.

If you are looking for a church where God’s Word is clearly taught then I invite you to join us this Sunday at 11am at the First United Method-ist Church of Wetumka where we will gather to celebrate the Lord’s Supper and celebrate All Saints’ Sunday by light-ing candles in memory of our loved ones and friends who have entered eternal life since our service last year. For ad-ditional teaching, I invite you to join me for “Biblical Prin-ciples For Kingdom Living” at 12:30pm at www.tenacityra-diocom. Or visit the Archives at Tenacity Radio to listen to previously aired messages at your convenience.

Commissioners’ Proceedings

LPXLP


The Year Was 1944CAMPUS CHATTERThe fi rst observance of what

will probably continue as an an-nual affair in high school, Nation-al Education Week, was met with fair success with approximately 200 parents attending its climax, the visitation night, at the school house Thursday.

Students who took part in pre-senting the week’s activities were Shirley Baldwin, Edna Carnes, Clyde Foster, Boyd McGugan and Jeanie Thomas, who provid-ed fi ve minute talks on the subject of education daily over the public address system, and Bob Herring, Wilburt Wiggs and Helen Sipe, who along with Jeanie and Shir-ley, participated in the assembly program which concluded the week.

THE VISUAL EDUCATION program will be opened this week with the showing of four fi lms, “Orange Grower,” “Irrigation Farming,” “Poultry on the Farm,” and “Terracing to Save our Farms,” to students of the science classes. Thirty-seven other fi lms, some of which will be available to geography and social studies classes, are also scheduled to be shown throughout the year.

“THE SONG PLUGGERS,” starring the mountain melodeers, a six reel feature, will be shown Thursday at 1 o’clock p.m. Ad-mission price will be 10 cents. With the feature will be presented four shorts, including a cartoon, “Jack Frost”; a comedy, “The Fuller Gush Man”; a sports at-traction, “Ski Revels”; and a travelogue, “Swinging Through Switzerland with Will Rogers.” Proceeds of the show will be used to fi nance the visual education program.

SCRAPS & SQUIBS—

Lou Hays might have a trick in which senior high girls would be interested if what they say about her starting out on a date with R.C. Allen and ending up with Carl McMicheal is true. While R.C. and Carl might be able to interest the boys with a little trick on ways and means of making silverware disappear…Gene Huser skip-ping a wonderful football game in favor of McAlester girls--can’t say we blame him though…Anna Bell McNutt’s habit of sleeping with her mouth open will have to be corrected, she decided Sat-urday night, after some generous boys had crammed half a sack of popcorn down her mouth while she was enjoying a nap through the midnight preview. Being a rather hard person to awake, she merely crunched it down hun-grily, and probably never would have known the difference if she hadn’t been informed…

SENIOR PORTRAITS

NAME: Dorothy Fennell…AGE: 16…BORN: April 8, 1928, Holdenville…PARENTS: Mr. and Mrs. Claud Couch… LIKES: Home Ec. IV, Mrs. Veach, football games, her job, reliable people…DISLIKES: People who are too sure of themselves…TRAITS MOST DESIRED IN BOYS: neatness, quietness…TRAITS MOST UNDESIRED IN BOYS: over-confi dence…AMBITION: housewife.

MURL LUCAS, senior left end of the football team’s starting eleven, has been elected to carry out the just about most coveted job ever bequeathed upon a make high schooler, that of crowning the football queen, who this year will be Wandine Middleton.

To escort the queen’s atten-dants, Shirley Baldwin and Jeanie Thomas, the other two candidates in the queen election, will be Jimmie Littrell and Carl Smith. These three boys gained their re-spective honors by winning the popular vote of the entire team in an election Tuesday.

Murl will also act as captain of

the team at the Ada game. In ad-dition to his newly-won positions, he was candidate for carnival king and vice-president of his class during his junior year.

The queen coronation, which will take place between halves of the Ada game, will be witnessed by an unusual number of fans, as the game is the last and most im-portant of the season. Pictures of the coronation for publication in the senior magazine at the close of the year, will be taken, if the hard to get photographic equipment can be secured.

THE HOT LUNCH program, which is to be offered this year in the high school for the fi rst time, should be under way by Decem-ber 1st, and perhaps sooner, Supt. Bell said Monday.

An extra cooking range and sink and a hot water tank must be in-stalled in the home ec. kitchen to provide for the 100 students who are expected to dine regularly.

The price of the lunches will be 15 cents apiece.

BILLY JEAN BUCKLEY has been chosen to replace Pat Calan as alto in the girls’ trio.

SENIOR PORTRAITS

NAME: Jimmie Littrell…AGE: 15…BORN: November 25th, 1928, Levelland, Texas…PARENTS: Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Littrell…LIKES: football, bas-ketball, hunting, food (any kind), Joy Hawkins, Holdenville, Mon-ey, automobiles, mystery shows, navy, nickledions, Smith’s Drug…DISLIKES: Henryetta, work, conceited people, nosey people, cats…TRAITS MOST DESIRED IN GIRLS: height, sense of hu-mor, personality, good looks, long hair…TRAITS MOST UNDE-SIRED IN GIRLS: conceit, gaud-iness. Flirtatiousness, short hair…AMBITION: Engineer.

VARIETY WAS THE type of program presented by members of Miss Provence’s senior home room in entertaining senior high students at the weekly assembly Wednesday.

With Dorothy Fennell, president of the home room, acting as mis-tress of ceremonies, the program was opened with group singing, led by Oleta Metcalf and Nadine Worthy.

Two selections, “In the Garden of Tomorrow” and “The World is Waiting for the Sunrise”, by the girls’ quartet, were followed with a reading, “Mary Carey” by Betty Puntenney. Nadine Worthy appeared as a vocal soloist in the assembly, choosing for her se-lection, “The Trolly Song”, after which she and Oleta blended their vocal qualities with an arrange-ment of “Serenade in Blue”. After a reading by Roy Crossno, Nadine closed the program with another solo “It Had To Be You”.

SCRAPS & SQUIBS

Apologies are extended to Coy Calvin, whose name was omit-ted from the report of “B” honor roll students which was published some time ago in this column…Nadine Worthy taken somewhat by surprise when called upon to close Wednesday’s assembly program with a solo…Red Ellis worrying himself and the entire American History class with a debate over the proper time for Thanksgiving holidays…”Glad tidings spread fast”—at least among Jo Ann Bus-ey, Carolyn Howell and Elizabeth Rixleben, who thought “maybe” their teacher was gone and never showed up at their music lesson—well, she hadn’t ‘cause it certainly wasn’t her ghost who walked into Bartletts and caught them skip-pin’..Very few biology students turning up at the afternoon classes Wednesday due to sudden ill-nesses contracted from dissecting grasshoppers…Connie Bishop of-fering to be bridesmaid at an im-portant wedding…Jeanie Thomas

and Emma Lou Tolbert window-peeking on Miss Provence’s Eng-lish classes.

FOOTBALL SEASON OVER—and today marks the be-ginning of that rather eventless winter portion of the year, punc-tuated only by Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays and play practices.

REHEARSALS FOR THE sophomore play, “One Mad Night,” began last week, under the direction of Miss Branscom, dramatics instructor.

The story of the play all takes place at night, when Don Cut-

ter, a playwright, accompanied by Wing, his proverb-quoting Chinese valet arrives at the Cut-ter mansion, a lonely house in the hills, where he plans to complete his latest play in peace and quiet. The house has been deserted for years, a series of murders hav-ing given it the reputation of be-ing haunted. In this setting Cutter meets a number of strange people, including John Alden, Pricilla, Mr. Hyde, and Lady Macbeth, who help to make all three of the play’s acts hilariously funny and true to its name of “One Mad Night.”

Bill Kemmerer will play the

part of Don Cutter; Hugh Grover, Wing; Billy Jean Buckley, Lady MacBeth; Pat Renfrow, Priscilla; Donald Patton, John Alden; Jimmy Lyons, Mr. Hyde; Charles Horn, Dr. Bunn; Pat Hugill, Lucille Marcy, a damsel in distress; June Phillips, Mrs. Kluck, the house-keeper; Neva Floyd Cunningham, Gertrude Finch, Don�s fi ancée; Jo Ann Busey, Mrs. T. Ashton Finch, her mother; Jo Ann Fixico, De-pression, their colored maid; Bill Simms, Artemus Burnke, a law-yer; and E.T. Apple, Don Siletto, who is wanted for murder.

Commissioners’ Proceedings

WANDINE MIDDLETON CROWNED FOOTBALL

QUEEN FRIDAY P.M.Before an estimated crowd of

3,500 homecoming fans, Miss Wandine Middleton, popular Holdenville high school senior, was crowned football queen in a candlelight halftime ceremony at the Holdenville—Ada football game, Friday evening.

Miss Middleton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Middleton, was crowned by game Captain Monk Lucas. She was attended by run-ner-ups in the queen contest, Jeanie Thomas and Shirley Baldwin, both seniors. Walking with the queen’s attendants were Jimmie Littrell and Carl Smith.

Flower girl for the queen was Carol Ann Wren and crown bearer was Johnnie Elliston.

Lead by the drum majorette, Emma Lou Tolbert, the senior and junior bands and the girl’s pep club marched on the fi eld and formed the background for the corona-tion.

The pep club formed a circle into which the queen’s party marched after Jimmie Johnson and Bob McConville had placed the blue and gold decorated throne in the center.

Following the coronation, pic-tures were made which will appear in the annual issue of the Student Press put out by the HHS senior class.

After the queen was situated on the side lines, where she remained during the remainder of the game, the bands and pep club did their trick marching.

The bands and pep club formed a house, while the band played “Keep the Home Fires Burning.” The house was complete with a red chimney and a window, in which a two-star service fl ag was hung. The two service stars were for Game Captain Lucas and Boyd McGugan.

BEAVERS COUSINS REUNITE—These cousins don’t get together very often, but when they do they have a lot of catching up to do. In September the grandchildren of the late George Washing-ton Beavers met in the home of George W. Ross to reminisce and look at the photo albums Ross has put together. Ross served in the Army in WWII and is proud of the role he played as a courier for Madam Sun Yat Sen when he served under the command of General Joseph Stilwell. Those who were at the reunion were, left to right: George Ross, Juanita Beavers Harris, Bob B. Turner, Nancy Turner Miller and Bob’s wife, Mary Ann Turner. Also at the reunion were Harold Harris, James Ross and his granddaughter, Raven.

Lip Lick’n Good

by Nancy Miller1951 HHS GraduateSaturday my brother, Bob Turner,

his wife, Mary Ann, and I, took a little day trip to Holdenville to visit with a 90-year-old cousin, who is only about 5 years older than my brother. It was an interesting day. I don’t know that I will ever make that trip again, at least in the back seat of the Turner’s mini-van.

I had set up the trip at least a month ago, calling my elderly cous-in, George Ross, who wears hearing aides in both ears, to tell him we were coming to talk to him about his experiences as a secret service courier in China during WWII. I shouted to him that we should be there by 10 a.m. because my brother and his wife were picking me up at 9 a.m. and it takes an hour to get to Holdenville. I should have known my schedule wouldn’t work. Cousin George said OK, he wasn’t going anywhere.

Nine a.m. came and went and I waited. An hour passed, but no brother. I tried his cell phone repeat-edly but no one answered. Sometime after 10 a.m., Bob, who also wears double hearing aids, apparently lo-cated the phone and it sounded like he dropped it. Eventually we made connection and he answered as if he didn’t know we had an appoint-ment.

“What’s up?” he said. Now, I pride myself on being patient with old folks, because I am one. Some people just handle the diffi culties of getting older better than others. Los-ing your hearing often times puts you in a world of your own.

His offhand answer to my call miffed me a little. Knowing it wouldn’t matter if I shouted, I shout-ed into the phone, “You were sup-posed to pick me up at 9 o’clock!”

“Oh,” he said, mumbling some-thing I couldn’t understand. I think he forgot what time we had agreed upon. He obviously didn’t tell his wife or write it down. Lesson learned: IF I ever set up another rendezvous with my brother, which isn’t too likely, I will call him the night before and every hour the next morning until I know he’s got the time right. My sister-in-law said he just fi ddles around and doesn’t pay attention to how much time has passed. Since I am slightly inclined to do that, I didn’t say much. But I

do write times down and watch the clock. I sometimes get the day and place wrong, but I’m not the only one.

Anyway, we completed our short visit, with some of us shouting louder than others to make ourselves under-stood, and we headed home about 3 p.m. arriving Henryetta about 4 p.m. The Turners left immediately to get back to Tulsa and I collapsed in my recliner, vowing never to ride in the back seat of that vehicle again.

Well, that turned out to be a pro-phetic promise. When I checked my e-mail Sunday evening I found a CaringBridge message from my niece, Julie, updating everyone on the progress, or lack of it, of her daughter, Stephanie, who had a bone marrow transplant in August. The transplant was successful and Stephanie is producing 100 percent donor blood, indicating she is cancer free. BUT. . . since she has no immu-nity she is susceptible to every germ and is headed back to the hospital in OKC for more treatment.

But the shocker of the message from Julie was that when her parents returned home, with my sister-in-law still driving, she had an accident pulling in their driveway. They live in a rural community on Lynn Lane and have a wide gate with a long drive. Julie says Mary Ann took off her seat belt and stepped out of her Toyota mini-van to pick up their newspaper. When she got back in the van something went haywire. Julie said when her mom hit the gas pedal, the pedal stuck and the van lurched forward. Mary Ann said didn’t want to crash into their liv-ing room, so she turned the steering wheel to the right. The vehicle went through three fences, across a couple of bar ditches, across the highway and wound up in a neighbor’s yard, taking out their gate.

Now, the Turners have a large front yard. That had to have been a wild ride to cover that much territo-ry. Mary Ann managed to get the car back into their driveway and up to the front door, where the car still sits with part of the front end stuck un-derneath the chassis. Oh, yeah, the gear shift is stuck in Park. Knowing how my brother feels about fi xing up his cars, he will probably get it repaired. I do remember they said they purchased a full warranty on the Sienna, and will most certainly

take advantage of that.Julie says her parents were pretty

well shaken up and her mother is very banged up. My brother was still belted in and didn’t get shaken so much, but is sore, too. Unfortu-nately, the front of their vehicle is mostly gone, along with the shat-tered windshield and attached equipment. It’s a wonder they didn’t get hurt worse.

I’m so thankful that foot feed stuck when theTurners got back home, and not out on the curves coming from Wetumka to I-40. Gives me a chill to think about it. Now they become a statistic on the Toyota list of complaints about faulty gas pedals. I’m glad they/we aren’t another statistic on the High-way Patrol list.

A Very Interesting Trip!

The Muscogee Creek Nation Community Health Representatives in Hughes County have been busy organizing the 4th Annual Women’s Health Summit. The summit will be held on Friday, November 18, 2011 at the Holdenville Indian community Center at 224 E. Poplar Street. Registration begins at 8:30-9:00 and the events will begin at 9:00.

Opening the summit will be the Elders of the Holdenville Indian Communi-ty Center as they provide special music for the gathering followed by the invo-cation by David Jimboy. Winey West and Mary Whitetree, CHRs for Hughes County will give the welcome and open the summit presentations.

From 9:30-10:30 the fi rst guest speaker will be Mr. George Coser, Sub-stance Abuse Counselor, Alcohol/Drug Educator and Cultural Consultant from Mounds, OK. Mr. Coser is well known throughout the Creek Nation for his powerful stories, his knowledge and his soulful stories which involves his own journey.

This year the summit will address some very important and often unspoken problems among women in our communities and are often related. A panel of volunteers have been willing to step out in order to share their heartfelt stories of how their lives have been effected by use of Methamphetamines and oth-er addictive substances which have been huge contributors to their domestic problems and lifestyle changes. The members serving on this panel should be commended for their willingness to speak out in order to help others who are facing these same circumstances. The impact that they will share through their stories could defi nitely be a wake-up call for someone or their loved ones.

The second speaker, Denise McCurry, is from the Muscogee (Creek) Na-tion Domestic Violence Program. This program is a relatively new program in the MCN, but has been a vital and successful venture for assisting victims of domestic violence.

The Pink Ladies of Holdenville General Hospital have been very faithful for helping at the various events and their smiles and warm welcomes always set the scene for the whole day. These ladies are well known volunteers at the Holdenville Hospital and have been a part of this community for many years. They are always willing to offer their assistance and this year they will be conducting the door prize giveaways.

Refreshments will be provided throughout the event as well as a compli-mentary lunch for all.

Vendors will be available to visit and learn some of the various services around the area and within the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.

Sponsors for this event include the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, the CHRs and the Holdenville Indian Community Center. These folks would like to extend a welcome to everyone to join us at this summit. For more information contact Jensie Jimboy or Lucinda Cook at 918-623-1925, please leave a message with the secretary and indicate that it is regarding the Women’s Summit.

The Annual Community Thanksgiving service will be held November 20, 2011 at 6:00p.m. at the Barnard Memorial United Methodist Church, 8th and Gulf. It is hosted by the Holdenville Ministerial Alliance and an offering will be taken to raise funds to help those in need. This is a time when everyone can come together and worship. Everyone is invited to attend.

The late Helen Marie Cordell’s daughter, Reed McCain, was in town for the funeral of rebeckah Allen. Reed and her family attended the Sunday morning

service at the local Methodist church. It brought back a lot of memories for Reed. She was baptized in that church and her grandmother, Mrs. Clark

Cordell was the fi rst to play the Kimball organ that the church still uses. When the church bought the organ in 1926, Mrs. Cordell, her two daughters, Helen Marie and Julia, went to Chicago to study the organ before it was delivered.

Over the years the church has had some very talented organists including, Ellen Huser, Rozeanne Turner, Elon Virginia Rives, Kay Lynn Love and Earlene Custer. Presently, Robby Lindsey is the church organist and in fact held a concert recently that many local folks enjoyed.

An interesting note….Helen Marie’s father was the fi rst Postmaster in Holdenville. He actually was the fi rst Postmaster at Fentress (near Lake Holdenville) and was transferred to Holdenville when the local post offi ce opened.

Our local churches have so much history and it is great to have those that grew up in one of our churches return home when they can.

—DD—We received word last week

that Kathryn Brock Blanks passed away. We are going to try to get in touch with her sister Paula to get more details.

Their mom was Bill’s second grade teacher and he thought so much of her. He visited her often up until her death.

Mrs. Brock’s favorite story about Bill was that when his family moved one block away from her house he showed up one Saturday to visit “his” teacher. She invited him in and the fi rst thing he spotted was a candy dish on her coffee table. Mrs. Brock offered him some and from that time on he “visited” her almost every day. No matter how much he took out of it the bowl would be full again the next day.

Because of Mrs. Brock’s kindness, Gert bought a box of candy for Bill to take to her on Valentine’s Day. Bill always walked to school and on his way he ate all the candy and replaced it with rocks. When Mrs. Brock opened the box there was a bunch of rocks and no candy. Why Bill just didn’t throw the box away rather than give her a box of rocks is still a mystery!

It was much later before Mrs. Brock told Gert because she did not want Bill to get in trouble. However, it was so funny Mrs. Brock fi nally had to tell her.

—DD—We had a wonderful service

Sunday at the Church of the Nazarene. We had a guest speaker, Rev. Patrick Ward. He and his sweet wife Sarah and daughter Mattie Mae were a delight to have. He brought a wonderful message. Bro. Rick Madron brought our special music. He sang “I Can Only Imagine”, accompanied by his lovely daughters, Priscilla Goodman and Tisha Morris. It is such a blessing to hear the Madrons sing. They have beautiful voices and beautiful spirits.

We had our “Trunk or Treat” Monday night and gave out over 130 bags of candy. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing all the little goblins. Those participating in handing out the candy besides Bill and myself were: Pete and Sarah Trammell, Nancy Sherry, Larry Erwin, Steve, Anita and Samantha McNaughten and Jon, Tammy and Alyssa Swadley.

—DD—I had a good visit with Glen

Paslay recently. He said he remembers when Harry Sipes had the fi lling station at the fi ve-mile corner. His brother-in-law and sisater, Bea and Minnie Reynolds had a station near there at the same time and he remembers pumping gas from the old time gas pumps when was just a kid. His sister and brother-in-law, Deloy and Edna Paslay also had a station about half way between the fi ve-mile and Wewoka. They also had a tourist court behind it. He said he and his buddy Jerry Green drove by there the other day and the building is still standing, but the tourist court is gone. I always enjoy visiting with Glen. He is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world!

—DD—I ran into my cousin Corky

Crittenden at Pat’s Café the other day. He and Marlene are in for a couple of months. I’m so glad they were able to attend our family reunion this year. They live in Colorado some and in Texas some, so we sure miss them when they are gone.

—DD—We were happy to hear that

Jennifer Sharp McElhaney has taken her last chemo treatment this week. She will be taking tests in the near future to make sure the cancer is gone, so please keep her in your prayers.

—DD—We were sorry to hear that

Kathryn Shirley passed away Tuesday evening. Our prayers will be with Roy and their family.

We also heard from Roy’s niece Gina Meek. She told us that her mother, Flo Howard is having some health problems and needs our prayers, too.

—DD—We received a call from our

good friend Nancy Miller. Nancy is an award winning journalist. She was editor here for many years before accepting the same position in Henryetta. She retired two years ago but still writes a column occasionally. We asked her if she would share some of her columns with our readers and she has agreed to do so.

Nancy is an HHS graduate and well known in our area. She is a special friend and we always enjoy visiting with her.

—DD—A special thanks to Sue

Adams for the witches hats! Not real ones, but edible ones! They were delicious.

Halloween night we ran out of refreshments and I told Bill we could share some of Sue’s treats with the late coming trick-or-treaters. What was his answer? He locked the door, turned out the porch light and went into the kitchen and ate two of them!
