Drunk, Drugged Awareness Week
More DUIs in
holiday season
Man injured
Crews work to clear an area on SH 66 Friday at 5:30
p in., after a truck and another car were involved in an
accident. According to preliminary reports, the driver of
the truck, Oscar Bradley of Malden, Mo., was traveling
south on SH 66 and attempted to turn into an industrial
area. He apparently hit the other vehicle as he attempted
the turn. Bradley was cited for failure to yield to oncoming
traffic. The driver of the car, whose name had not been
released as of presstime, was taken to a Tulsa hospital by
Life Flight where his condition is not yet known. (Herald

Renovation costly if careless
By the Herald Stuff
With the number of arrests for driv-
ing under the influence (DUI) and
driving while impaired (DWI) already
exceed last year's total, Sapulpa police
will be looking out for drunk drivers
over the coming holiday season.
Chief of Police Ron Sole said 156
“tox traps” (blood tests for intoxic-
ants) have been sent in for processing
by Sapulpa police so far this year.
Last year’s total, he said, was 115.
Sole said not every DUI or DWI
arrest results in a blood test being
taken, so the number of actual arrests
is probably higher.
Sole’s remarks were made as the
state and the nation begins "Drunk and
Drugged Driving Awareness Week,”
an event which is now in its ninth year.
He said DUI and DWI arrests gener-
ally increase slightly during the holi-
day season.
Sole said there are no plans to
dispatch extra officers to watch for
drunk drivers, but those officers regu-
larly on duty will be watching extra
carefully — “just like Santa Claus” —
to sec who’s being naughty.
Last December in Oklahoma, 17
people were killed and another 438
were injured in alcohol related traffic
accidents, according to the Oklahoma
Department of Transportation.

Yellow ribbons will soon adorn the
community Christmas tree in honor of
those Sapulpans stationed overseas as
part of Operation Desert Shield.
The first ribbon was tied around the
tree Friday in honor of Lance Cpl.
Russell Esmond, a three-year member
of the U.S. Marine Corps who was sent
to Saudi Arabia Thanksgiving night.
Esmond serves as a combat engi-
neer with the Second FSSG, Charlie
Company, said his wife, Joy.
Esmond’s father, Danny Esmond,
said he got the idea after seeing yellow
ribbons on other trees and buildings
since U.S. personnel were sent to the
Persian Gulf.
“I thought it would be a good idea
for everybody with family members
over there to put a ribbon on the
community’s Christmas tree,” he said.
The City Commission approved the
tying of other ribbons around the tree,
located at Fire Station No. 2, at last
week’s meeting.
The tree has become a concern of
many Sapulpans since it was
announced the station would be closed
when Fire Station No. 1 is moved to
the Solaray building next year.
The firefighters and equipment of
Fire Station No. 2 will then be moved
to the present Fire Station No. 1,
according to city officials.
The city has discussed the possibili-
ty of selling the building once Fire
“Most people understand the
dangers associated with drinking and
driving, but arc reluctant to create a
scene or embarass a friend or loved
one by taking their car keys, calling a
cab or giving them a ride home," said
Mike Mayberry, assistant director of
ODOT’s Highway Safety Division.
One of the most effective ways to
reduce the number of drunk drivers,
according to Sole and ODOT officials,
is to use designated drivers.
"More and more people who choose
to drink alcoholic beverages have
discovered an ideal job for those who
don’t — the non-drinkers are willing
to drive them home,” said Mayberry.
“Every group planning to go out this
holiday season is urged to designate a
person who will agree to stay sober
and sec that everyone gets home safe-
ly,” he said.
Other lips for hosting a safer holi-
day party in your home include:
—Not forcing drinks on guests or
rushing to refill glasses when empty.
—Serving desirable nonalcoholic
drinks as an alternative.
—Always serving food with alcohol.
—Carefully measuring the amount of
alcohol in all drinks to minimize
excessive alcohol content.
—Stop serving alcohol about two
hours liefore the party is over.
Station No. 2 is closed.
The tree has served as Sapulpa's
official Christmas tree since it was
donated by John F. Egan, one of
Sapulpa’s first citizens, and moved to
its present location in the early 1930s.
A proposal to amend the city’s
Historic Preservation Ordinance to
include the tree was discussed and
approved at last week's meeting of the
Historical Preservation Commission,
according to City/County Planning
Analyst Dclisc Tomlinson.
Tomlinson said the HPC will
recommend the land and the building
be rezoned as part of the Historic
Preservation District at the next meet-
ing of the Sapulpa Metropolitan Area
Planning Commission Dec. 27.
Sapulpans with family members
serving in the military in the Middle
East are encouraged to place a yellow
ribbon the Christmas tree this year.

Americans leave
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
State Department on Saturday
advised all Americans to leave
Somalia as soon as possible
because of growing chaos in the
north African country.
The department also urged
Americans to defer all travel to
Somalia until it becomes safe.

plagued by civil war for several
nology in Cambridge on Friday. "I'm

block the entrance to the Armed
Forces Recruiting Center.

A telephone call to the proper office
at City 1 lull can prevent wasting valu-
able construction and renovation
dollars for properly owners and
tenants in the city’s Historic Preserva-
tion District, officials say.
City/County Planning Analyst
Dclise Tomlinson said owners and
tenants of buildings in the district
occasionally begin construction and
renovation before checking with
zoning authorities.
The district is roughly bordered by
Jackson Avenue on the north, McKin-
ley Avenue on the south, Mounds
Street on the cast and Birch Street on
the west.
A '/j-block area on cither side of
Main Street southward to Taft Street
(SH 117) is also included in the
district.
"Some people apparently don’t,
realize that they’re in the HP district,”
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —
Attorney General Robert Henry says
he is expecting big things out of the
state’s second multicounly grand jury.
The jury, which was seated Friday,
w ill look into a wide variety of crimi-
nal activity that crosses county lines,
Henry said.
Twelve jurors and three alternates
from 12 counties were chosen for the
grand jury from a statewide pool of
voters. The jury will meet, on average,
from two to four days a month.
The first grand jury authorized by a
new state law was seated in February
1989. It investigated and assisted in
the prosecution of several crimes,
she said, “and when they find out,
they’re overwhelmed” by the proce-
dure which must be followed, said
Tomlinson.
Before new construction or renova-
tion of buildings within the district can
be initiated, a Certificate of Appropri-
ateness must be issued by the Historic
Preservation Commission (HPC).
Applications for the certificate can
be obtained through the Technical
Services Department on the second
floor of City Hall.
The completed application must be
turned in (along with two sets of plans)
to zoning authorities three wxeks prior
to any HPC meeting, which is usually
held the first Tuesday of every month
in the conference room at City Hall.
Once the application is received, the
project is reviewed by the Historical
Research Committee and the
Architectural Review Committee,
who will determine if the structure in
question is of historical significance.
The Architectural Review Commit
from murder to bribery to public
corruption and drug trafficking.
The jury was dismissed in October
after 21 months in operation. At
Henry’s request, the Oklahoma
Supreme Court ordered a new multi-
county jury to convene and begin its
duty Friday.
"Law enforcement officials from
numerous local, state and federal
agencies have come to rely on the
multicounty grand jury for help in
investigating complex crimes,"
Henry said.
"I am extremely proud of the work
done in the first multicounty grand
jury, which resulted in the successful
tec will inspect the site, and, if the
project docs not meet the city’s Histor-
ic Preservation Ordinance, will
suggest alternatives that will meet the
ordinance.
The entire commission will then
take action on the certificate of appro-
priateness at the HPC meeting.
Tomlinson said the main “beefs”
held by property owners in the HPD
are that the ordinance “slows them up”
from renovating their buildings and
that the renovation suggested by the
Architectural Review Committee will
be expensive.
She said most of the proposed
procedures to renovate historic build-
ings are not as expensive as many
properly owners realize.
The proposed procedures followed
in the renovation of the Bcrryhill
building on east Dewey turned out to
be no more expensive than those origi-
nally proposed by Charles Bass, the
building owner, according to
Tomlinson.
prosecution of a wide variety of
crimes.
"This new enforcement tool led to
convictions of numerous criminals
who might otherwise have gone
unpunished. I believe the new grand
jury will Iv even more successful.”
Henry said there are several probes
that will be carried over from the first
grand jury.
"Investigating and prosecuting
these crimes is an expensive, some-
times tedious process, but the multi-
county grand jury has proven itself to
be an efficient and successful means
for doing so," he said.
