$65,000 WORTH of new multi-polymer lane markers 

are dressing up major Clinton thoroughfares. Prominent 

among those new markings are these thermoplastic red, 

white and blue shields being installed on Clinton’s two U.S. 

highways and lone state highway. This I-40 shield is intended 

to better inform drivers what lane to get in when they 

are approaching such intersections as Lexington, Oliver 

and Red Wheat on Gary Boulevard. Working on this sign

SWOSU scores TD 

with playoff games 

Southwestern Oklahoma State University being the 

choice for four Oklahoma high school football playoff games 

in late November/early December resulted in nearly a $1 

million impact on the area economy. 

An estimated 12,000 fans attended the Class 2A and 

Class C games in Weatherford on Nov. 23, Nov. 30 and Dec. 

1, and business analysts at SWOSU’s Center for Economic 

and Business Development believe those guests spent at 

least $984,000 on food, souvenirs, fuel and lodging. 

Doug Misak, director of the center, said statistics indicate 

that the average visitor on a one-day trip to Weatherford 

spends about $80. If that guest spent the night in one of 

Weatherford’s 400 hotel rooms that figure goes up to $200. 

The CEBD estimates that 200 total rooms were occupied 

by sports fans such as grandparents and other relatives on 

the three dates. 

Participating teams were Tipton (twice), Sharon-Mutual,

City’s recycling plan 

allowed to die quietly 

By GERALD GREEN 

Recycling, in the form proposed for Clinton, 

died a silent death Tuesday. At least it’s 

dead for the moment. 

At Tuesday’s Clinton City Council meeting, 

the idea of single-stream curbside recycling 

was allowed to die without a vote after three 

months of intense debate. 

Council members could have chosen any of 

three recycling proposals received two weeks 

earlier. Instead, they chose none. 

City Manager Steve Hewitt began the discussion 

by stating that he could not endorse 

either a plan he and his staff had prepared 

under which the city itself would run the recycling 

operation nor one submitted by a Hobart 

company, Progressive Waste Solutions. 

Both would have required garbage customers 

to pay new monthly fees – $4.05 per household 

in the case of the city’s plan and $6.45 in 

the case of Progressive’s. 

“Staff does not recommend a price increase,” 

said Hewitt, explaining that the third 

program – proposed by the city’s current 

trash contractor, Republic Services – would 

not require a cost increase but would involve 

the company taking over all trash operations 

here. That had been objected to by numerous 

people during a series of public meetings held 

primarily in October. 

If the council did not want the Republic 

plan, Hewitt indicated he might come back 

with one that did not include curbside recycling. 

He didn’t say what it would be, but 

presumably it would be one in which patrons 

would voluntarily take their recyclable goods 

to a central collection point rather than having 

them picked up at residences. 

Mayor Allen Bryson, presiding over his 

last meeting before relinquishing his position 

Jan. 2, asked for comments from the council. 

There were none. 

He then asked for comments from the audience, 

provided they hadn’t been expressed 

previously at other public meetings. Two people 

responded, one for the Republic proposal 

and one against it. 

“I’m in favor of it,” said Patch McComas. 

“For those opposed asking you to ignore the 

money the city makes down the road, I ask 

you to consider what it would make now.” 

That was a reference to money the city would 

get by selling all its present garbage equipment, 

which it would if Republic took over. 

McComas also referred to a survey sent 

out with utility bills last month. He said there 

were 1,028 responses with 70.1 percent in 

favor of curbside recycling, 3.5 percent undecided, 

and the rest opposed. 

“Is the council truly listening to its constituency, 

or are you listening to those griping 

the loudest?” asked McComas. 

Former councilman Bob Smith gave the re-

Motion died for lack of second 

(Continued from P. 1) 

sponse for the opponents. 

“I’ve had about eight 

different older couples 

contact me,” he said. 

“They’re not against 

recycling, but they are 

against giving up city 

equipment.” 

Smith also contended 

there would be price increases 

for trash collection 

under the Republic 

plan, even though its proposal 

actually contained 

a very slight decrease. 

Bryson, still feisty despite 

recovering from a horse 

riding accident about 

10 days earlier, said nobody 

had ever said there 

wouldn’t be increases – 

that the present contract 

calls for price hikes in 

line with the Consumer 

Price Index. 

But he also said, “I 

don’t want us to beat each 

other up tonight,” and 

added, “I’m of a mind we 

need to vote on this.” He 

then asked for a motion. 

After a long silence, Phyllis 

Smith – also attending 

her last meeting as a 

councilwoman – said she 

would make a motion that 

the city accept the plan 

proposed by Republic. 

When there was no 

second, Bryson asked if 

he legally could second it. 

“No,” replied Assistant 

City Attorney Ryan 

Meacham. 

After another brief 

silence, Councilman and 

former mayor Don Rodolph 

advised Bryson the 

motion would die for lack 

of a second. The current 

mayor declared it dead 

and asked if there were 

any other motions. 

When none was forthcoming, 

Bryson stated, 

“At this point we have 

no action. I think I just 

closed it down.” 

Weatherford merchants 

saw green for playoffs 

(Continued from P. 1) 

Frederick, Oklahoma Christian, Forgan, Laverne 

and Pond Creek-Hunter. 

“Whether the fans were wearing red, black, blue, 

gold or purple, they actually meant one color to the 

merchants of Weatherford — green,” Misak said. 

One Weatherford restaurant owner said Dec. 1 

was the largest-ever sales day for that restaurant. 

SWOSU President Randy Beutler said public 

events at university venues not only promote 

SWOSU’s interests but also enrich the community, 

county and state of Oklahoma.

GROUND 

By Jim Morrison 

The night God came down: Many religions and 

certainly secular society, deny the possibly that God 

would stoop to enter into the experiences of sinful 

man by becoming flesh and blood. 

But that is the story of Christmas. That is the 

real reason for the season. The spirit of giving, of 

investing in someone else, rose out of the life and 

love of Jesus. 

Its earthly beginning was in a manger in Bethlehem, 

but it originated in the heart of Father God 

from the foundation of the world. 

He saw in us something worth saving. He saw 

the possibilities in a rough fisherman named Simon. 

He knew that he could become Peter, the rock. 

He saw the selfish, indulgent traitor named Levi 

and knew he could become the gospel writer we 

know as Matthew. 

He saw the man with the withered hand and 

knowing it was a set-up by the Pharisees to see if 

he would heal on the Sabbath, he took the risk and 

made the man whole. 

It began the trail leading to His crucifixion, but 

he paid the price because he loved. He sees people 

today, withered by the scars of sin, impoverished 

of love, broken and seemingly with no purpose for 

today or hope for tomorrow. He knows that a little 

love applied in just the right places at the right time 

can change a man or woman forever. 

On a personal note he saw a young couple, broken 

from the loss of their firstborn, and on a Christmas 

day in 1967, through the mistake of a young 

coed, gave them the gift of a beautiful blue-eyed 

baby girl. This is the big picture; this is the real 

meaning of Christmas. 

But it did not end there. That was just the beginning. 

“He who did not spare his own son, but gave 

him up for us all — how will he not also, along with 

him, graciously give us all things.”(Romans 8:32) 

He does not just pardon our sins but he gives us 

Himself. He wants to walk with us and talk with 

us as good friends should and do. 

But we see in the world the results of a society 

that has at best marginalized God. We, in our independent 

spirit have decided, like a two-year-old, “I 

can do it myself.” We haven’t learned the lesson of 

Paul that “His strength is made perfect in our weakness.”(2 

Corinthians 12:9) We need to relearn the lesson 

of the kings of the Orient — wise men still seek 

Him. May you have the merriest of Christmases. 

I must digress and share information about 

a coming event for men. Society, and the arts in 

particular, have promoted the softer side of men to 

the point that what it means to be a man is played 

down and at best obscured. 

This event, “Men Stepping Up,” will be on Super 

Bowl Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 2. Some of 

the top teachers and leaders in men’s ministry will 

be sharing, via video, in the areas of (1) defining 

manhood, (2) living courageously, (3) building a life 

of faith, and (4) stepping up to lead. 

It will be held in the First Baptist Church Family 

Life Center, Weatherford. This will be the most 

significant men’s event of the year. Please share 

this with men and youth from high school seniors 

to senior citizens. Youth and college students come 

free. For other men, the fee will be $10.

Prescribed burn 

associations aid 

for landowners 

By SEAN HUBBARD 

OSU communication 

Started by Oklahoma 

State University, burn 

associations have been 

around the state for 

more than 10 years. As 

ironic as it may be, these 

associations have been 

spreading like wildfire 

since the idea came to 

fruition within the Division 

of Agricultural 

Sciences and Natural 

Resources at OSU. 

“There are now 15 

associations in the state 

covering 30 counties with 

more than 350 members,” 

said John Weir, rangeland 

ecology and management 

research associate. 

“In the last three years, 

six of the most active associations 

have conducted 

125 burns on more than 

60,000 acres. And that’s 

done the right way and 

done safely.” 

The central idea of 

the associations is for 

landowners to pool their 

equipment and help each 

other burn safely. 

“In areas where you 

have small landownerships, 

where the pastures 

aren’t as big and you have 

fragmented ownership, 

people want to burn, but 

they have concerns about 

burning and not being 

able to do it,” Weir said. 

“It gives you added 

equipment and labor to 

make the burns safer. 

One of the biggest benefits 

members will see is 

a reduction in liability.” 

Some landowners may 

be a bit apprehensive to 

burn because of lack of 

experience or the threat 

of a fire moving to a 

neighbor’s land. By joining 

as burn associations, 

these landowners can 

manage these risks with 

more experienced people. 

“If the fire would happen 

to escape and spread 

to a neighboring area, it 

may be another member 

of the association who is 

probably going to burn 

anyway,” Weir said. “It is 

neighbor helping neighbor, 

sharing resources.” 

Many of the associations 

receive financial aid 

through federal and local 

grants and donations, 

including some vehicles 

from local fire departments 

that support the 

burn associations. 

“It’s a win-win situation 

for not only the 

landowners, but also the 

community in general,” 

Weir said. “I’d love to see 

every county in the state 

have them.” 

For landowners interested 

in joining a burn 

association near their 

property, or starting an 

association if none are 

nearby, information can 

be found at http://www. 

oklahomaprescribedfirecouncil.okstate.edu. 

Also, 

county Extension educators 

may be contacted for 

additional information.

Choose reputable tattoo parlor to lower risk 

DEAR DOCTOR K: 

My teenage son wants 

to get a tattoo. What are 

the risks? 

DEAR READER: 

These days it seems like 

every other young person 

has a tattoo, so it should 

come as no surprise that 

your teen wants one, too. 

Tattoos can allow a teen 

to be like his peers or 

simply to make an artistic 

statement. 

Talk with your teen 

about why he wants one. 

Make sure he has thought 

everything through carefully. 

Yes, I know he’s a 

teenager and thinking 

things through may not 

come easily. But make 

sure he understands that 

there are dangers to getting 

a tattoo. 

Teenagers, of course, 

do lots of things that are 

dangerous. Unless they 

result in permanent inju-

Woman’s soon-to-be-ex still on guest list 

DEAR ABBY: My 

divorce from “Vince” 

will be final in a few 

weeks. We have two sons 

together and we communicate 

well. Since our 

breakup, my parents 

have continued their relationship 

with 

him. They say, 

“You divorced 

him, we didn’t.” 

They have 

confirmed that 

he will be invited 

to all 

holiday events. 

I am so upset 

about it that I 

now want nothing to do 

with them. Vince has 

his own family who have 

unanimously removed 

me from their lives. 

I’m hurt by my parents’ 

actions. Am I wrong? And 

are my feelings normal?

ry, however, they’re temporary. 

A person can look 

back at driving at high 

speeds and appreciate the 

risk he was taking back 

then. But it was a temporary 

lapse in judgment. 

In contrast, tattoos 

can be permanent. If 

later in life your son is 

not happy with his decision 

and wants a tattoo 

removed, it can be difficult 

(sometimes impossible) 

and painful. These 

days, laser treatments 

are the most widely 

used technique to remove 

tattoos. They’re 

not always successful, 

and sometimes they 

leave permanent scars. 

There are possible 

dangers to having any 

procedure done to our 

bodies. Your son needs to 

understand all the risks. 

These include:

DEAR LOST: As the 

father of your children, 

Vince will always be 

a part of your life, so 

my advice is to accept 

it graciously. 

Because Vince 

had a good relationship 

with 

your parents, I 

can understand 

why they would 

extend an invitation 

to the 

father of their 

grandchildren. 

Whether he will choose 

to accept is the question. 

That said, your feelings 

are your feelings. 

Rather than say they are 

“wrong,” I would point 

out that they are unproductive 

at this point. As 

you move forward with 

procedure. 

— Painful skin infections 

(and sometimes 

blood infections), which 

can occur if the tattoo 

is not done under sterile 

conditions, or if the site 

is not properly cared for 

afterward. Recently the 

Journal of the American 

Medical Association 

reported cases of tattoorelated 

severe infections 

from mycobacteria, 

related to the bacteria 

that cause tuberculosis. 

Either the needles or the 

ink can be contaminated 

with bacteria. 

Even more dangerous 

is the possibility of a 

virus (such as hepatitis 

B, hepatitis C or HIV) 

being spread from a 

dirty needle. That’s why 

it is essential to choose 

a tattoo parlor that uses 

proper sterile technique 

and sterile needles. 

your emotional life, I predict 

this will become less 

of an issue. 

DEAR ABBY: I am 

a 50-year-old divorced 

man. I use an online 

dating service to meet 

women my age, but I’m 

extremely frustrated by 

the lack of courtesy. 

Why is it so hard for a 

woman to simply write, 

“Thanks, but I’m not 

interested” after getting 

a note of inquiry? My 

photos are recent, I’m 

polite and I send thoughtful 

notes that show I 

have read their profiles 

carefully and think 

there’s a chance we have 

something in common. I 

admit, I’m not the handsomest 

man, but I hold a 

master’s degree and I am 

financially stable. 

I have sent a dozen 

— Allergic reaction. 

Anyone may develop allergic 

reactions to tattoo 

dye. 

Your son can decrease 

these risks by 

choosing a reputable 

tattoo studio. Contact 

your state Department 

of Public Health to find 

out if it licenses or certifies 

tattoo parlors. He (if 

you trust his judgment) 

or you should check out 

several studios before 

selecting one. 

It is also important 

that your son follows “after 

care” instructions to 

best prevent infection. In 

general, the site should 

be kept clean and dry. 

He should watch the site 

carefully for any signs 

of infection, including 

redness, pus, tenderness 

or fever. If any of these 

signs develop, contact a 

physician right away. 

notes over the last few 

months, and not one 

woman has been polite 

enough to respond. Any 

thoughts? — DATELESS 

IN DAYTON 

DEAR DATELESS: 

Please don’t let the lack 

of response make you 

quit putting yourself out 

there, because eventually 

you’re going to find someone 

if you keep trying. 

You are an intelligent 

man, and I am sure you 

have much to offer some 

lucky woman. 

However, I would 

delicately point out to 

you that by not responding 

to your notes these 

women ARE sending 

you a message. It is possible 

that because the 

“chemistry” is wrong, 

they do not wish to get 

into a dialogue.
