It’s beginning to feel a lot like winter outside, and with winter comes a sense of responsibility to most home and auto owners. Winterizing them for yourself and family. Now, for many folks familiar with the chill of western

Oklahoma, winterizing their belongings is just a simple chore to be done. A systematic list of steps checked off as easily as taking out the trash. Clean the gutters, check water lines, stock up on necessities, verify that the heat is working, have emergency lights and supplies ready, etc. Check, check, and check. A similar list works for most vehicles as well. Just substitute antifreeze for water lines and tires for gutters and you’re basically prepared. Also, when you consider the fact that a lot of homes are now running generators too, it’s no surprise that many people don’t even realize winter has come until it’s long gone. That’s a shame. Of course, there’s no substitute for the blessing of being

able to live comfortably. However, a great deal of my fondest memories have come from moments during the winter that are unexpected, like the power going out. There’s nothing quite as bittersweet as having a big holiday party planned only to have the power kick off moments after it begins. Uh-oh, party’s over, I guess. Well, not necessarily. There are plenty of fun things you can do when the power goes out. Things other than playing with your phone praying that the power comes back before your battery goes dead. So, here are some ideas that hopefully help get you through the next power outage.First come the tried and true board games. Board games

are an extremely popular choice for the ease of setup, they’re literally designed not to need electricity. The only downside to them are the relatively short playtime and the limited number of people they can usually accommodate. You can even work together to come up with your own board game! There are many idea-filled and instructional sites and videos online that can help you iron out the logistics.Another fun activity, that can theoretically be played with

any number of people, is called Pass the Drawings. Ideally,

Oklahoma moves up three spots in America's Health Paced by the lowest smoking rate ever recorded,

Oklahoma moved up three spots to 43rd in America’s Health Rankings, issued by the United Health Foundation. The improvement was the second highest among all states, trailing only Florida and Utah, which improved their ranking by four spots. America's Health Rankings are based on four components or aspects of health - behaviors, community & environment, policy and clinical care. Health outcomes are also used to rank states.“Despite the many challenges facing us, I am encouraged

that our employees and our partners across the state continue to work toward improving the health of all Oklahomans and that their efforts are producing results,” said Interim OSDH Commissioner Preston Doerflinger. “We know where our focus must be in providing the core services that will make a difference in the lives of all our citizens going forward.”In smoking rates, Oklahoma improved to 36th nationally

- an improvement of nine spots. Oklahoma’s smoking rate has declined 25 percent in the past five years. That is the largest improvement for any state since 2012 but is still 2.5 percent higher than the national average of 17.1 percent.An area in which Oklahoma is better than the national

average, low birthweight, saw the state improve to 7.9

percent. Oklahoma has improved 11 spots to 22nd in the past five years, one of the best advances in the nation.The best ratings for the state were in the low occurrence

of excessive drinking (2nd), pertussis rates (2nd) and the number of mental health providers (5th). Oklahoma also had improvements in obesity rates, the number of people who are physically active, and drug deaths, but still ranks well below the national average. Areas of concern include lack of health insurance,

diabetes rates, and children’s immunization rates.While Oklahoma’s uninsured rate has decreased the past

three years to 13.9 percent, the national ranking dropped another two spots to 48th and the rate lags far behind the national rate of nine percent.Following a national trend that saw an all-time high

in diabetes rates of 10.5 percent nationally, Oklahoma is ranked 41st with a rate of 12 percent. The rate of immunization among children 19 to 35 months dropped significantly (75.4 percent to 67 percent) moving the state ranking to 42nd while overall adolescent immunization rates improved by six places (40th to 34th).The complete ran k ings and summar ies for

each person would choose a pen, marker, or crayon (of different color). To begin, one person starts a drawing on a piece of paper until a timer dings. Then, the next person adds to it until their time is up. And so on, until you end up with a very unique piece of artwork! It’s a great way to work with, or against, each other while having family-friendly fun. Oh, you were drawing a horse? Well, now it’s a centaur. The beauty of it comes from the ability to customize the rules to work with your own style. One variant is to have each person draw with their weak-hand the next time through and compare the drawings. The next two games require a flashlight and willing

participants. The first one, Spotlight Charades, is just a simple twist on the classic charades game. One person acts out a show or book while their teammate tries to guess it. The twist is that at some point during the day the natural light will fade, and the only source of light will be a lantern or flashlights. Now, you have the actor incorporate the lights into their movements. They can wield the light or puppeteer shadows to help guess. It’s increasingly fun to play as teams where you can have actual flashlight sword fights, or you can create very unique shadows.

And finally, one game that is a big hit with the kids in my family, Night at the Museum. This one can be played without any additional items. Basically, one person is selected to be the “Tour Guide” for the museum, and they go away to count. While they’re gone, the other players find positions in the room where they freeze. When the “Tour Guide” comes back, they can walk around and come up with their own descriptions for the statues. And when the “Guide” turns their back, other statues can move around or reposition themselves. The goal for the “Tour Guide” is to catch the statues moving, while the statues try to be the last one caught while still moving around. Anyone caught moving joins the tour and can point out new statue changes, but shouldn’t call out when they move. You can bet that at almost any of my family events, this game gets played at some point. Our favorite variation follows the same rules with one minor change. The lights are off. Now the “Tour Guide” becomes the “Night Guard” and should be equipped with a flashlight. It becomes increasingly bizarre and fun to whip the light back only to see a statue, a couple feet closer, in an entirely new pose.I hope any of these suggestions work to help get you

through the ‘power-outage-slump’.

Christmas is the season for giving! Weatherford Food and Resource Center (WFRC) is a non-profit organization that works within the surrounding communities to provide healthy food choices for people of all ages, ethnic groups and religious affiliations, who struggle with hunger. WFRC offers their clients fresh produce, non-perishable as well as refrigerated and frozen food choices.As we all know Oklahoma has a history of ice storms

and bad weather which often causes the loss of electricity. The loss of electricity to run the refrigerators would be detrimental to the WFRC fresh, refrigerated and frozen food supply. Local businessman Rick Koch saw a need for a backup

generator and put a plan into action.ASAP Energy Inc. and their maintenance team, Billy

Karlin, Randy Smith, Red Line Supply, A Rental and Devon Energy teamed up to provide funds, labor and needed supplies to install the backup generator. As of last week, the new generator is installed and ready

to kick-in and keep the WFRC up and running in case of the loss of electricity. Lori Flansburg, Director of WFRC stated, “We are in awe of the community effort that took place to make this generator happen for the Weatherford Food and Resource Center. A price cannot be put on the peace of mind that the gift of this generator brings to staff and board of directors. We will not have to worry about losing thousands of dollars’ worth of food that is provided for the 1,600 people that we serve each month and how we will operate when Oklahoma’s unpredictable weather knocks out our electricity.”Merry Christmas and thank you to the Weatherford

Regional Food and Recource Center for the service they provide and to all involved in helping to buy and install the generator.

This following material has been adapted from an article based on the book, The Cross and Swastika, by Frederick Grossmith. Henry Gerecke, a middle-aged U.S. Army chaplain,

with the rank of Major was appointed spiritual advisor to 15 of Hitler’s top men—the war criminals of the famed Nuremberg Trials in postwar Germany.When he was first asked to take the assignment he was shaken. He

wrestled with the idea of a humble preacher, a one-time farm boy making any impression on the disciples of Adolph Hitler, some of the most hated and feared men in the world. He had been separated for years from his family. He had seen the horrors of Dacha. His own son, although surviving the war had been ripped apart. But slowly the men in prison became not war criminals –but simply lost souls whom he had been asked to help. Gerecke made up his mind that by the grace of God he would bring

the gospel of God’s grace to these hated and feared men. He knew that although the world had written them off as hopeless, that through the cross, forgiveness is possible for anyone. As he made his rounds meeting the men, he found some more responsive

than expected. At his first chapel service, 13 of the 15 officers were in attendance. Over a period of time several of the men turned to Christ in repentance of sin. On one occasion he wrote, “I’ll never forget the sight of those three large men kneeling, asking that their sins be forgiven.”About six months later rumors began to circulate that Gerecke would

be returning to the United States. The war criminals took action. Hitler’s strong boys who had scourged Christianity and broken the Ten Commandments more than any other scoundrel in history, wrote Mrs. Gerecke, an American housewife.... “We have come to love your husband, we need him during these days, please leave him with us.” She cabled her husband, “Please stay on, they need you.” Often the prisoner’s children would stay in the chaplain’s office on

visiting days. Hermann Goering’s daughter told the chaplain that she prayed every night. He asked her what she prayed for. She said, “I ask God to open my daddy’s heart and let Jesus in.”That night Goering committed suicide.Several of the men that were later hanged, had committed their lives

to Christ. Former Chief of the German High Command, Wilhelm Keitel, said just before being hanged, “Isn’t it wonderful to know that God can love a sinner like me.”God has given me the privileged of sharing the Grace of God with the

inmates in the Custer County Jail. A number have received Christ. People have relegated these to “jailhouse conversions,” suggesting that they are only trying to use God to lighten their sentence. I can’t judge that. I can only pray with and for them that truly the Holy Spirit will do a work in their hearts and continue to guide them as they serve their terms and try to restart their lives in society. Pray for them and their families

Harlem Globetrotters bringing 2018 tour to SWOSU After 91 years of thrilling and exciting crowds

of basketball fans all over the world, the Harlem Globetrotters will bring their 2018 “Amazing Feats of Basketball World Tour” to the Pioneer Cellular Event Center on the campus of Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford on Sunday, February 4, at 1 p.m.

The Harlem Globetrotters will take their show to a new level this year by celebrating the special blend of basketball and entertainment that has made the team iconic. The team’s upcoming performance will showcase the high-flying, fun, and memory-making moments that the Globetrotters are known for throughout many years. The dribbling, the dunking, and the shooting—do not forget they led all of basketball in 4-point shots made in 2017—will all be on full display.

The Globetrotters feature the world’s largest collection of elite dunkers, including six players who have competed in the annual College Slam Dunk contest held during the Final Four weekend, a Guinness World Record holder for slam dunks and the 2016 winner of the popular TV show “The Dunk King.”

The highflying dunks do not end with the players, as

2018 will also mark the debut of the “Flying Globies” – an amazing acrobatic trampoline dunk team, which will defy gravity during the game action with their exciting in-air stunts.

The Globetrotters show is unrivaled in the world of family entertainment, with all-star Showmen like Big Easy Lofton, Hi-Lite Bruton, Ant Atkinson, and Hammer Harrison, as well as fan favorites Firefly Fisher, Bull Bullard, Thunder Law and Cheese Chisholm. To match the growing popularity of the Globetrotters’ female stars, the team will feature four female players – the largest female roster in team history – including TNT Lister, Ace Jackson, Hoops Green and Torch George.

Additionally, the 2018 tour marks the return of the Globetrotters’ longtime nemesis, the Washington Generals. After a long-standing series that saw the Generals lose over 14,000 times, the team is back from a two-year hiatus to rebuild and refocus around one goal—to beat the Globetrotters.

Tickets start at $22 and are now available at stubwire.com, harlemglobetrotters.com or by phone at 877-990-7882. Information on group and scout tickets can also be found at harlemglobetrotters.com.

Food, family, and everything in between

Five, four, three, two, one... Happy New Year! New Year's Eve parties can be so fun to attend, but also tons of work for the host or hostess. I've always been a big fan of appetizers you can throw in a slow cooker like cocktail meatballs and little smokies as well as make-ahead yummy stuff like these Cranberry Pecan Goat Cheese Balls. I made these for my family's Christmas party and they were divine; creamy, tangy, sweet, and crunchy all in one perfect little bite.

Cranberry Pecan Goat Cheese Balls2) 8 oz. Packages cream cheese, softened4 oz. goat cheese4 oz. white cheddar cheese, grated½ cup roughly chopped dried cranberries½ cup finely chopped pecans¼ cup thinly sliced chives½ cup thinly sliced chives½ cup finely chopped pecans½ cup chopped dried cranberries30 pretzel sticksCombine the ingredients in a large bowl, stirring until

combined. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out small balls. Roll into a ball using your hands. Place chives, pecans, and cranberries into separate, shallow bowls. Roll the cheese balls into your desired coating and spear with a pretzel stick.

Refrigerate until ready to serve. If preparing more than 4 hours in advance, don't add the pretzel sticks until ready to serve. Serve with assorted crackers and pretzels.

When was the last time you had a Jello shot? If you said college you're in for a real treat. Jello shots just took a turn down Classy Street with the addition of some champagne and sprinkles. So pop the cork on some bubbly and let's get started!

Champagne Jello Shots1 ½ cups champagne (divided)1 Tbsp. lemon juice1 Tbsp. sugar3 envelopes plain gelatin¼ cup vodkaRainbow sprinklesCombine 1 ¼ cups champagne, lemon juice and sugar in

a saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin on top. Let gelatin soften for about two minutes to bloom, then heat mixture over low heat. Stir until gelatin has completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes, and remove from heat. Stir in remaining ¼ cup each of champagne and vodka.

Grease a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour mixture into mold and chill for 2 hours, or until firm.

Invert jello to parchment paper-lined cutting board and slice into squares. Dip each square in sprinkles and serve cold.

Bye-bye 2017 and hello 2018! I sure hope everyone has a fabulous (and safe) New Year's Eve!

The Oklahoma Senate on Wednesday approved $17.7 million in funding for the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) to prevent provider rate cuts. The Senate also approved $26.5 million in additional funding for the Department of Human Services (DHS) to make up a portion of the agency’s funding struck down by the courts.

“Provider rates were in jeopardy of being cut after the budget agreement reached during the first special session was vetoed. Protecting provider rates is essential to ensuring Oklahomans, especially rural Oklahomans, have access to their doctors and other health care providers. The Senate’s vote today protects an essential part of our state’s health care system,” said President Pro

Oklahoma Senate approves funding to prevent health care provider rate cuts

Tempore Mike Schulz, R-Altus.The Oklahoma Supreme Court earlier this year

struck down a smoking cessation fee resulting in $215 million in lost funding for three health care agencies: DHS, OHCA, and the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS). The funding approved by the Senate on Wednesday ensures OHCS and DHS have enough funding through April. ODMHSAS already has enough funding to make it through the end of April.

Schulz said the Oklahoma Senate will continue working on long-term solutions to fund these three health care agencies through the end of the fiscal year.

WEEKLY NEWSBITESCARING AND SHARING HUGE SUCCESS- Caring

& Sharing in the City of Weatherford was held earlier this month. Spokesperson Stephanie Warner said it was another successful event. “We served just a few less families this year than what

we did last year so that’s showing improvement. Last year we had so many issues with oilfield, and so we’re glad to see numbers down just a little bit, showing some improvement there.”Warner said Caring & Sharing served over 500 children

this year.

ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING PLANNED AT FBC- Custer County Sheriff Kenneth Tidwell said he has learned that a Weatherford Church is already planning a training course regarding an active shooter. “The Baptist Church in Weatherford has already got

one set up for January 16th, and it’s the same training so I don’t know if it’s feasible for me to hold, you know, the exact same thing.”Tidwell said he plans to refer any interested churches

to the Weatherford First Baptist Church for information, regarding their January training session.

CORDELL VOTES TO APPROVE ORDINANCES- The Cordell City Council voted to approve a pair of ordinances, disallowing the Mayor and City Council members from serving on Citizen Boards, Commissions, or Commissions of the City of New Cordell. One ordinance terminates the eligibility of the Mayor to serve as an ex officio member

of the Planning Commission effective immediately, while the other makes elected officials ineligible to serve on the boards which goes in effect in 30 days.

CLINTON POOL IN NEED OF REPAIRS- Clinton City Council is considering the future of the slide at the city pool. Recreation Director Morgan Bonairens said the nearly 30 year old slide needs restored plus the slide tower likely needs to be replaced. Councilman Bobby Stewart questions the benefits of the slide compared to its costs. “Why don’t we just tear the thing down? Why do we

even need a slide? We are looking at a bid here, a low bid of what $24,850 to repair that thing, and we lost $51,510 this year. So that’s a total, if we do that. That’s $76,360 we are going to lose. Let’s just provide a swimming pool. You do away with the salary on lifeguards, and you’re still providing a swimming pool. I don’t see the necessity of having a slide.”Numbers gathered by Bonairens put the cost of the slide

repairs and replacement at a total of nearly $100,000. The Council asked Bonairens to gather more quotes and present the results for further consideration at the next Council Meeting.

HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS RETURNING TO SWOSU- The Harlem Globetrotters are returning to Weatherford. The Globetrotters are bringing their 2018 Amazing Feats of Basketball World Tour to the Pioneer Cellular Event Center in Weatherford on Sunday, February 4th at 1 P.M. The Globetrotters will face off with their long-time nemesis, the Washington Generals, after the

team returned from a 2 year hiatus. Tickets are available through Stubwire.com and the Harlem Globetrotters website.

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SCAMS- The Christmas season also brings a new set of scams. Weatherford Police Chief Louis Flowers said to be sure of the cause you are helping. “Everybody is in the Christmas spirit of giving, and it’s

hard to turn that down, but you still have to make sure that it’s right and it’s legitimate of what your giving to. Make sure that you are giving to the right thing.”Flowers said car burglaries tend to increase around

Christmas as well. The Christmas season is not free of crime.Weatherford Police Chief Louis Flowers said scams

are looking for donations for what seem like a charitable cause. Flowers said to research who or what you give money to, and also to protect valuables inside of your vehicle due to car burglaries.

CLINTON CITY COUNCIL RECEIVES FISCAL REPORT- Clinton City council, this week received its annual audit report on the previous fiscal year from Britton, Kuykendall, and Miller CPAs. “Overall, we think that this is a good report for the City.

Thankfully, the economy is starting to turn around. We are seeing it not locally but across the state; so, hopefully, our sales tax will keep turning around.”Kuykendall said the City was helped out by changing its

assessment and the cuts it made to stabilize the budget.
