Remember when we played tag in school? If you did play tag you might well still be suffering from emotional torment and physical assault. At least

according to the following story . . .

To protect students from emotional torment and physical assault, the Mer-cer Island School District

in Washington State has banned the childhood game of tag. Parents, who were informed by their children rather than the school dis-trict, are not happy.

In an email, district com-munications director Mary Grady said, “Students are expected to keep their hands to themselves. The ratio-nale behind this is to ensure the physical and emotional safety of all students.” But one parent told Seattle’s KCPQ that she’s upset be-cause her children need unstructured playtime.

“I totally survived tag,” Kelsey Joyce said. “I even survived Red Rover, believe it or not.”

There is one that that is still in abundance in our country .. . stupidity.

—CC— Things are pretty dismal

all over the country, but some places are worse than others.

Usually, published rank-ings of American states are compiled by liberals who value such things as high school and college gradua-tion rates, personal income, internet speed, and the avail-ability of abortion clinics. That’s why Massachusetts and Minnesota commonly come out on top. Some lists, including those by conservatives, reflect only economic matters, such as the ALEC-Laffer Rich States, Poor States annual rankings. However, conser-vatives look deeper. They

know if you are in a foxhole and the mortar rounds are incoming, it doesn’t help to be told you’re at a pool party.

Chronicles Magazine re-cently gave a rundown of 11 categories that should matter to all Americans and noted the worst states in each category . . .

Abortion Rate: Sane people prefer not to live near folks who routinely shred their infants. The U.S. average is 19.6 per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44. Worst States: Delaware, 40; New York, 37.6; New Jersey, 31.3; District of Columbia, 29.9; Maryland, 29.9; and California, 27.6.

Married Couples: Mar-riage will always be the foundation of society, and its frequency reflects a state’s law and morals. This factor is not easy to judge because the available num-bers include people who have been married numer-ous times to ex-spouses who are still living. For our purposes, I chose “per-centage of households that are married couple fami-lies” from 2004, before the “same-sex” nonsense began and distorted the numbers.

Not surprising, Mormon Utah ranked best at 63 per-cent, followed by Idaho, New Hampshire, Minne-sota and Iowa. Worst was a non-state, the District of Columbia, which sets na-tional marriage policy via U.S. Supreme Court edicts, at an appalling 21.8 per-cent, followed by New York (45.9 percent), New Mexico (46), Rhode Island (46.7), and Louisiana (46.9).

Fertility Rate: “Children are our future,” our govern-ments tell us, even though governments at all levels do what they can to suppress fertility. Although the abor-tion rate is also included in these rankings, making babies, and not simply re-fusing to murder them is important. Worst States: New Hampshire and Maine at 9.8 per 1,000 women, followed by Vermont at 9.9, and Connecticut and Rhode Island at 10.6.

Illegitimacy Rate: In just 50 years, the illegitimacy rate in the United States has gone from 5 to 41 percent. A general decline in morals and religious observance, the rise of the Welfare State, and the deprecation of mar-riage have encouraged births outside wedlock. These trends, as well as high taxes sapping family incomes, also discourage married people from having kids, thus increasing the ratio of illegitimate to legitimate births – something few are willing to address. Uncle Sam is not only the world’s biggest deadbeat dad, but, when he does pay for his kids, he gets the cash by pilfering the bank accounts of traditional families. The rise in statistically measured illegitimacy reflects the de-cline of another venerable American tradition: the shotgun wedding. In better days, if a girl found herself “in a family way”, her male kin made sure the young man did the right thing and took her to the chapel.

The illegitimacy rate is highest in the District of Columbia, at 50.8 percent. Among states, the worst is Louisiana (48.7 percent), followed by Mississippi (48.1), New Mexico (47.6), and Rhode Island (44.3).

Church Attendance: “Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy” is a fairly unambiguous com-mandment, but more Amer-icans today are going golf-ing or watching the NFL. I think church attendance (here from Gallup’s 2009 poll) is a better statistic than Gallup’s surveys of “religiousness.” All things being equal, I’d rather live next to a neighbor who hears a weekly sermon. The numbers reflect attendance at any religious service of any kind at least once per week. The Worst State is New Hampshire, at 26 percent, followed by Main (27) and Massachusetts (29). Incidentally, these numbers suggest a close connection between church attendance and the birthrate listed above.

Out-Migration: If people are streaming out of a state, there’s something wrong. The ranking is for the per-centage of Americans who have entered or left a state from 2003 to 2012. It does not reflect the improvement in some states, such as my home state of Michigan, in recent years. The District Columbia again was worst, with ten percent skedad-dling out of the central metropolis of the nation’s misery. Worst State: New York with 7.9 percent leav-ing, following by Rhode Island (6.1), Michigan (5.8), and Louisiana (5.6).

Immigration Rate: A little immigration is like salt on steak. Too much is like dumping a can of Mor-ton’s on it. And we’ve had way too much for 50 years, causing massive economic and cultural dislocations. Moreover, given that im-migrants vote 70 percent for Democrats, a high im-migrant population means California-style one-party rule by the Donkeys. Al-though Republicans at the national level are mostly contemptible, at the state and local levels they still generally favor less govern-ment and oppose faddish leftist repressions.

The number I used rep-resents foreign-born resi-dents. The Worst State for that (easily) is California, with 27.1 percent born out-side of the United States. Next are New York (22.2 percent), New Jersey (21), Florida (19.4), and Nevada (18.8).

Gun Rights: In 2014, Guns & Ammo ranked “which states are cultur-ally accepted as the most firearm-friendly territo-ries.” Factors included right-to-carry laws, state law’s application of the Castle Doctrine (legal pro-tection for you when you are protecting your home), and gun ranges.

The District came in worst again. Worst States: New York, New Jersey, Mas-

sachusetts, and Hawaii. Vermont, although liberal, has a long tradition of flinty individualism and allowing concealed carry; it ranks 17th best. Colorado ranks way down at 40th. That’s what happens when your state is invaded by hordes of Californians fleeing their own leftist follies.

Tax Freedom Day: Fed-eral taxes are confiscatory enough. But states gouge their citizens as well, some-times at shocking levels. In California, for example, the 9.6 percent tax rate begins at a marginal income of just $55,000 – a lower-middle-class income in a state with a high cost of living.

I used the Tax Founda-tion’s Tax Freedom Day 2014 calculation to deter-mine the date when, if one started paying all one’s in-come toward federal, state, and local taxes on January 1, one would be “free” to keep one’s own money. The U.S. average is April 21. Worst States: New Jer-sey, despite some modest cuts by Gov. Chris Christie, frees its taxpayers on May 6, as does Connecticut. They are followed by New York on May 4, California on April 30, and Minnesota and Massachusetts on April 29.

Poverty Rate: In recent years, the U.S. Census Bureau has come out with an improved measure of poverty that includes the

cost of living. On average, 16 percent of Americans live in poverty. California, despite an average income roughly 15 percent above the national average, actu-ally had the worst poverty rate, at 23 percent. That’s what happens when severe state restrictions on housing construction can’t keep up with a vast influx of immi-grants. Next in line was the District of Columbia at 22.8 percent, even though four trillion dollars in federal spending course through there annually, followed by Nevada (19.8), Florida (19.5), and Arizona (18.8).

I’ll avoid the Hollywood suspense and start off with the biggest loser.

The Worst State is New York, with a combined and averaged score of 41.5 out of 51. The Empire State raked 50th on abortion rate, married-couple families, out-migration, foreign im-migration, and gun rights. And it came up 49th on Tax Freedom Day and 44th on poverty rate.

Tied in average but not a state per se is the District of Columbia, the center of misery for all 50 states, with a score of 41.5. The Swamp scored absolute worst (51st) in four categories: married-couple families, illegiti-macy, out-migration, and gun rights. Despite an allowance for some “home rule”, the Constitution gives Congress complete author-

ity over the District, so in this instance the federal government itself is entirely to blame.

The Third Worst State is Rhode Island, at 40.1. The Ocean State never scored dead last on any factor, but it ranked 40th to 49th on the abortion rate, married-cou-ple families, fertility rates, church attendance, illegiti-macy, out-migration, gun rights, and Tax Freedom Day.

The Fourth Worst State, by a nose, is California, at 38.5. Despite its manifold natural and human riches, it scored 51st, rock bottom, on the poverty rate because of its high cost of living; and the same on foreign immi-gration, with 27.1 percent of its residents foreign born. The Golden State also was pyrite, 44th to 49th worst, on the abortion rate, out-migration, gun rights, and Tax Freedom Day.

And the Fifth Worst State was Maryland – which, by now, has largely been ab-sorbed into the D.C. Blob of centralized bureaus – with a score of 38.4. The sup-posedly Free State scored 43rd to 47th worst on abor-tion rate, married-family couples, gun rights, mur-der rate, and Tax Freedom Day.

Russell Kirk used to tell the story of when he was a young man in Central Michigan’s Stump Coun-try, named for the forests that had been denuded by loggers. During the Great Depression, Kirk asked a local resident about surviv-ing the economic calamity. “What depression?” the man answered. “Got my land. Got my chaw. Don’t need anything else.”

Alas, it’s impossible to live that simply nowadays. But in some areas one can do so better than in others.

Threads of Life••• After Halloween •••by Cleo LeVally

Each Halloween, Heald-ton has a contest for those who dress up in their Halloween costumes and come to the Armory to be judged. I have been a judge for this contest for the past three years. It is very hard to pick the win-ners because each person entered deserves to be a winner, the costumes are that good. Also this year, one contestant entered riding his own fire truck. It was authentic to the

very last detail. Since a two-year-old contestant in a fireman’s costume was riding in the truck, the truck had to have been built by his father. Every-thing was authentic to the last detail. Things like this make you know the whole family has gotten involved in the event.

First-, second-, and third-place winners are given ribbons; however, all of the costumes are so good that they all deserve

a ribbon, and it is hard to pick out who should be named. It is interesting to see how all of the fam-ily gets caught up in this. Also, it was interesting to note that in the age 14 and older group, how many adults, in costume, came forward to be judged in the division.

This week, another event that is unusual, an owl came into my yard to get a drink of water from the birdbath. In has been years since I have seen an owl. We were lucky to see it, and my son was able to get a picture of it on his

cell phone.I love this fall weather.

This is my favorite time of the year. I want to walk by the creek again, pick up hickory nuts, climb a tree for ‘possum grapes’, and fish for crawdads in the pond in the pasture.

Memories are good. I am glad that I have them.

Looking at some pic-tures posted this week by Linda Knighten on Face-book I saw a great inside shot of the old Pence Cafe which was located just to the north of the Allen Food Center. Looking at the photo I saw a large landscape painting over the back counter and rec-ognized it as something my dad had painted. My Dad started painting when he was a young teen and had sold some work. He had acquired a good sup-ply of artist supplies when he moved up to the Lula area to take up farming. Probably not the brightest idea he ever had but keep-ing his painting supplies was.

Living off the labors of farming in 1932 at Lula was tough, but it was a means of survival. You could eat but there just wasn’t any money. Hogs were in abundant supply, fine for eating but tough to

even draw a bid over at the sale barn in Ada. Chick-ens will always sell for something or other, as will eggs. But not much in ‘32. Just a few pennies. So without money you didn’t buy much. But Eula Pence offered him five bucks to paint her a picture. And he did. He had sold his old car so he could buy flour and stuff for the family, which meant he walked. Eventually he painted her a landscape and proceeded to carry it to Allen. Rides those days usually meant hitching a ride on the back of a wagon and that’s the way he managed to get his work to Allen.

A guy named Taylor Bullard (and his brother Butch) ran the Bullard Grocery. Taylor wasn’t any kin to us but dad al-ways went by and visited in the store on his visits to Allen. Compared to a

lot of little towns around, Allen was a virtual para-dise of hustle and bustle those days. Nobody was getting rich, but you could get jobs in the oil patch or perhaps at the Sunray Re-finery. As Bill Daugherty said one day, they didn’t pay a lot, but it was a lot better than nothing.

Taylor asked my dad if he could come to work for him one day and he did. He was to start the first. My mom said they were elated. Everything would have been perfect except he lost his billfold going home. Stuffed with that five dollars. They spent the next day walking SH-48 looking for that lost billfold, but the wallet was not to be found. $5.00 was a lot of money in 1932. In spite of all that, after a cheap ride on the Dinky to Allen, they managed to rent a house with running hot and cold water, gas, electric and a flushing toilet. Rent was $5.00 a month. Later mom’s step-father hitched up his mules and loaded up their pitiful possessions for a slow ride to Cleveland Street and move into a house that I later (1935) was born in--with a little assist from Dr. R. D. Morris, M.D.

Eula and I talked about the old days when work-ing men filled her cafe’s table and ate good food which they paid for with hard-earned money. She spoke of a time she hired a painter to re-paint the inside of her cafe. “Did it need it or what?” I asked. “It didn’t need the paint as bad as he needed the work,” she replied.

I thought about dad’s pictures. “People helped each other out” back then. That’s how we all got by. Or there was “cash night” down at the Majestic which dad won once. The

next day C. C. Ross, the Chevy dealer, told my dad that he had noticed him looking at a car on his used car lot (next door to where the school auditorium sits today) and dad agreed that he had indeed. Surprise! The price on that, just to dad was exactly what he had won the night before. $75.00. He had wheels.

When Eula called the Drug Store and said she needed something and wanted me to bring it, I knew a talk was coming on. I looked forward to it and treasure those mo-ments.

Have a good week and be sure and go to church Sunday.

“Set your house in order, for you will die and not live” was the message God’s prophet, told King Hezekiah. (2 Kings 20:1) However, it is a message that applies to every hu-man. Each of us must be separated from the body of flesh in which we live – that’s physical death. We must die because each of us has sinned. Each of us has disobeyed the benevo-lent laws, established by God, by which our world is governed.

We might wonder why God has ordained death because of disobedience to Him! If God so loves us, why doesn’t He simply overlook sin and allow us to continue living in our fleshly bodies? Why should we have to endure pain, hardship, suffering and death? To answer this question, let’s consider another.

Why do we discipline our children? Do we not do it for their benefit? Do they not need to learn good and righteous be-havior that will give them happiness, joy and peace? They certainly do! Their disobedience will bring harm, destruction and even death to them, to us and to the entire family. Likewise, our disobedi-ence brings harm and de-struction to God’s creation

and people. Good and righteous laws have been established by our loving God for our benefit. He wants us to learn that dis-obedience brings suffering and death, but submitting in faith and obedience will bring peace, joy and life.

While we can’t live for-ever in our fleshly bodies, our God has given His son as a peace offering for our sins and by putting our trust in that sacrifice, we can be forgiven. Thus, af-ter we are separated from our bodies of flesh, He has promised a new body that is eternal (2 Cor. 5:1-8) and a new home with Him in which righteous (obedience) will dwell. (2 Peter 3:13) However, to enjoy the new body and new home we must learn to trust and obey Him in this life.

Allen’s Skeet Teams did well as they represented their school at the October 22, 2015 District Tour-nament in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. Fifty teams gathered to compete for

the title and ranking in both junior high and high school divisions. The Ju-nior High Team placed 9th, and the Allen Senior High Team earned the 12th place

position out of their field of 50.

Special recognition goes to Rush Back for his 15/20 hits; Tanner Jarrett, 10/20; Brendan McClure 13/20;

Jesse Huckeby, 9/20; Tyler Thompson, 12/20; Tanner Wofford, 13/20; Colton

Dyer, 10/20; and James Barlow, 5/20.

Allen FFA Skeet Teams do well

Seven students from the Allen FCCLA chapter recently attended leadership training with other chapters’ local officers.

The Lead Conference, one of ten planned around the state, was September 2nd at the McAlester Expo Center. Officers from chapters in the Southeast District from Region 1 and 4 attended. Attending from Allen High School were Meegan Costner, Grace Laden, Kellyn Black, Kaitlynn Roby, Charlea Leonard, Brooke Holcomb, and Taryn Wofford.

District Officers, including Meegan Costner from our Allen FCCLA chapter, led workshops, which focused on teamwork, membership growth, successful STAR Event presentations, social media and chapter programs of work.

“I had a really good time at the conference and the key note speaker really inspired me to start the year off strong, ‘No sacrifice, no Victory,’” said one of the officer members.

Oklahoma FCCLA serves more than 11,000 members in the 395 local chapters in the junior and senior high schools and on technology center campuses. The Allen FCCLA participates in national, state, and local chapter activities.

Grand Larceny charges have been filed against three suspects for allegedly stealing three trailers on Septem-ber 1st. According to documents filed in the District Court of Hughes County, Kevin Dale Ward, 34, of Calvin, Kyle Jordan Epperley, 25, of Holdenville, and Courtney Michelle Tiger, 26, Holdenville, received three felony charges each.

Count 1 states that Ward, Epperley and Tiger “did unlawfully, willfully, stealthily and feloniously take, steal and carry away certain personal property to wit: one Black Tilt Trailer, owned by (victim’s name with-held), and without the consent of said owner, with the unlawful and felonious intent then and there on the part of said defendants to deprive the owner thereof permanently and to convert the same to his/her own use and benefit, said act . . .”

This crime is punishable by imprisonment for up to five years and a fine of up to $5,000.

Alex in the district with two games remaining in the regular season.

Allen is 5-3 overall and 4-3 in B-2 play. The Mus-tangs have scored 388 points and given up 292 points. Allen currently shares fourth place with Cyril

The Mustangs will host Cyril on November 6 in the Week 10 final contest. A visit to the playoffs will be up for grabs when they meet.

“Our win last Friday (vs. Maysville) sets up a ‘winner goes on and loser goes home’ in Week 10 against Cyril,”

said Coach Caldwell. Allen’s Week 9 game,

however, still has the Mus-tangs focused on the unbeat-en Bison this Friday night.

Coach Caldwell certain had his Mustangs ready to compete in their recent game with Maysville. Allen raced away to leads of 6-0 in the first quarter, 20-0 in the sec-ond quarter and 26-0 in the third quarter. The Mustangs also scored again in the fourth quarter to swell the lead to 32-0.

Maysville responded with a pair of late touchdowns en

route to the 32-14 lead. Allen opened the scoring

on Colten Browning’s 10-yard run at the 10:18 to make it a 6-0 game.

In the second quarter, the Mustangs used Colton Fred-erick’s 9-yard run at 8:27 to up the lead to 12-0.

Allen also scored on Chris-tian Henry’s 20-yard TD pass from Frederick with only 21 seconds. Frederick also added the conversion run to make it a 20-0 going into the break.

Allen continued the scor-ing streak at the 3:19 mark of the third quarter. Frederick blasted into the end zone on a 4-yard keeper to increase the lead to 26-0.

The Mustangs swelled the lead to 32-zip at the 10:35 mark of the fourth quarter. Joe Howshar rumbled into the end zone on a 17-yard scoring run to cap the Mus-tangs total to 32-0.

Maysville broke onto the scoreboard at the 9:50 mark. The Warriors found the end zone on a 4-yard TD pass play. Maysville also added a conversion run to make it a 32-6 game.

Maysville added the sec-ond and final touchdown on a 53-yard TD pass with 7:01 to play. The TD rounded out the score at 32-14.

Allen generated 24 first downs and 507 yards of total offense. The Mustangs rushed for 477 yards and passed for 30 more.

Maysville had five first downs and 190 yards. The Warriors were limited to 37 yards on 19 carries. They were more successful for the passing attack with 153 yards on 11 completions.

Allen was led by Colten Browning, who returned from an injury a week earli-er. Browning rushed for 217 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. He also hauled in three passes for 10 yards.

Colton Frederick also re-turned from injuries to give the Mustangs a lift. The quarterback rushed for 117 yards and a pair of touch-downs on 26 carries. Fred-erick also completed 4 of 11 passes for 30 yards and one touchdown.

Another key contributor for the Mustangs was Joe Howshar, who had 73 yards and a touchdown on eight carries.

Christian Henry added to the scoring total with his one reception for a 20-yard touchdown grab.

Three others are also on the list, including Garrett Wallis with 9 carries for 32 yards, Tadyn Walker with 2 carries from 19 yards, and Ty Brown with 2 carries for 19 yards.

The win over Maysville was very important to the playoff hopes for the Mus-tangs. After this week’s contest, Allen will prepare for a win or go home show-ing with Cyril.
