Snow accumulation
By JENNIFER FAGALA
Herald Staff Writer
It was such a safe time.
The world lay in relative qui-
et and peace. News of unrest fil-
tered in through the television
and radio, hut a few years ago
the world seemed stable.
Not now.
After Sept. 11, 2001 the
world seemed to have lots its
grip. Other parts of the world
had experienced loss and
tragedy on this scale. Other gen-
erations had felt the pangs of
chaos and death sweep through
them.
But until then the world had
seemed relatively quiet. Mothers
and fathers need not worry
about sending their sons and
daughters off to war.
Not BOW.
Now America’s young men
and women are being swept into
an uncertain future.
For many the situation is eas-
ily turned off with a press of the
[emote control. But for the par-
ents of those called to duty to
protect the values of the country,
no remote exists.
Russell Krenz is 22-years-old
and serving in the Navy in avia-
tion warfare. His mother.
Kristine Lawson, works at
Sapulpa High School.
“If he’s going to go in, now
would be a good time,” Lawson
said, recalling the time Krenz
first thought to pursue a military
career three years ago.
In her own words, it was ji
safe time. But now, though.
Lawson is proud, she also is
worried.
“It scares me,” she said, sit-
ting at a table holding onto a
folder filled with correspon-
dence and pictures of her son.
When Krenz was sworn in,
the family went to see him. "He
made me really proud,” Lawson
said.
One of the hardest parts of
having her son in the military is
not being able to “reach out and

By BOB SHERRILL

A Sapulpa man was arrested by Creek
County deputies Tuesday for injury to a mi-
nor child and domestic violence.

now in custody.

Two arrested
on county
drug charges
By BOB SHERRILL
Herald Staff Writer
The Oklahoma Highway
Patrol has arrested a Creek
County man and woman on
drug charges Monday following
a traffic stop. •
OHP Trooper Mason Brooks
reported in an affidavit that he
initially stopped a vehicle driv-
en by Carla M. Triplett, 33, of
Sapulpa, for failure to dim head-
lights.
He said another person iden-
tified as Ricky J. Neighbors, 33,
of Bristow, was a passenger in
the Ford Mustang.
Brooks reported that he
stopped the vehicle just west of
the Hwy. 66 and 48 junction.
The trooper said Triplett was
nervous, and he made the deci-
sion to secure the woman for of-
ficer safety.
Brooks said he found a plas-
tic bag containing suspected
Deputy Joe Blaylock were summoned to the
Taft address on a call of domestic violence
in progress.
Hutchins said that when he arrived he
found a woman and her 16-year-old daugh-
ter standing outside the house.
The woman told deputies that White was
upset with another daughter who was not at
the residence.
She told deputies that White was a re-
tired special forces veteran and had been
drinking.
Hutchins said that White immediately
began to threaten the deputy as soon as he

Oklahoma will get a bitter
taste of winter weather as
snow and cold temperatures
move in from the north.
But Sapulpa area residents
probably won’t see more than
light dusting of the white
stuff.
“If you lived in Wichita,
(Kan.), 1 predict you’d need to
wear your snow boots. But I
really believe this storm is not
going to get dow n to us before
the dry (line) stops it,” said
B.J. Pope, executive director
of Creek County Emergency
Management.
Rain is expected to change
to snow late tonight with lows
in the upper teens in the
Oklahoma Panhandle and in
the upper 30s in the extreme
southeast.
Thursday’s forecast calls
for a chance of snow showers
in the eastern part of the state
and mostly cloudy skies else-
where.
Highs will be in the upper
20s in the Panhandle and in
the mid 40s in the extreme
southeast in the rest of the
state.
But should the storm make
an unexpected harder push in-
to Oklahoma. Pope said coun-
ty crews would be ready.
“We’ve got the sand and
everything ready, but at this
point we’re making no moves
to have people standing there
waiting with the shovel in
their hand.” he said.
Friday is expected to be
mostly clear. Lows of 10 de-
grees are expected in the
Panhandle and the lower 20s
in the southeast.
Saturday is expected to be
partly cloudy. Lows will be
about 10 degrees in the far
northeast to the lower 50s in
the southeast.
Sunday’s forecast calls for
partly cloudy skies. Lows will
be in the upper teens to lower
20s. Highs will be in the mid
40s to the mid 50s.
