The housing ministry seeks tohonor the self-worth of those inneed through a hand up, not ahand out, buys and leases transi-tional homes in Edmond, seeksfinancial reserves so properties

can be secured as they becomeavailable, maintains a storagefacility for donated furniture andappliances and connects clientsto government and communityhousing.

banks, city hall, retailbusinesses and theUniversity of CentralOklahoma. The develop-ment has its own play-ground.

Moore said the entirecommunity came togeth-er to build the duplex.

“That’s why we lovebeing a part of TurningPoint because that’s ourmission,” Moore said. “Webring a big group of peo-ple together, positive,God-loving and we makethese things happen.”

Turning Point leaderBob Turner said a lot ofpeople were involved inthe project, and work wasstill going on Thursday,Friday and Christmas Eve.

“We still had a lot to do,”Turner said.

On Monday, volunteerskept coming.

Turner thanked the Cityof Edmond for its help ingetting the developmentgoing and its technicalassistance since then. Healso thanked the support

from Citizens Bank ofEdmond, workers whodid lot grading and dugthe footings and the work-er who framed the duplexhimself.

Moore said he did somethinking about collagesand wondered what thisproject’s collage would belike if it had one. He saidthe picture could includeTurner taking the plans tothe city for a building per-mit, Turning Point’sboard’s determination toproceed with it, volun-teers painting the baseboards and cleaning, theexcited new residentsdriving by to keep track ofthe progress, brickmasons at work and thecity inspectors examiningthe homes.

“I see all those picturesand colors coming togeth-er and creating the face ofJesus, looking down andsmiling upon this andsaying, ‘This is good. Thisis good,’” Moore said.

After the homes were

blessed, excited familymembers continued togaze at their new envi-rons. Viola Harrington,the mother of one of theresidents, said she hasnever seen anything likethis effort. She said shespoke with Shannon Entz,Edmond’s communitydevelopment coordinator,who urged her to speakwith Turner. He wasdetermined to help, shesaid.

“I’ve always had to workhard for everything I gotand this is a miracle, youmight say, for us. I don’tknow how else to put it,”she said, noting that shehas other relatives livingin Edmond. “It’s just sucha nice, friendly town.”

Turner said the duplexis a transition property forpotential homeowners tooccupy and lease. Theduplex is set up so thetwo homes could bebought individually.

“They both needed toget into housing immedi-

ately before they couldwork through all of theirprogram to purchase,” hesaid of the beneficiaries.

Turner said volunteersof all levels of skill are acontinual need forTurning Point Ministries,which is no longer a part-ner with Habitat forHumanity. Build numbersix in Legacy Station isunder way, he said.

Financial support forthe housing ministrycomes from privatedonors, an annual golftournament and theTurkey Trot. Turnerthanked all the volunteersand donors. Vendors andcontractors have provideddiscounted assistance, hesaid. Fire associationshave funded sprinklersystems

HOMES: Ministry seeks volunteers for future buildsFROM PAGE A1

District Three Oklahoma CountyCommissioner Ray Vaughn announced thisweek road crews will soon begin constructionon the bridge on Sorghum Mill Road approxi-mately one-tenth of a mile east of Western

Avenue.The Oklahoma Department of

Transportation has awarded thebridge replacement contract to K & RBuilders, who will begin constructionon or around Jan. 9.

“This project will last approximate-ly 90-120 days, depending on theweather,” Vaughn said. “Residents of

all subdivisions and single residential homesnear this intersection should make alternativeplans for transportation needs in this area.”

This bridge is the last “fracture critical” bridgeunder county control in Oklahoma County,Vaughn said.

A fracture critical bridge has structural mem-bers designed in such a manner that, should themember fail, the entire bridge structure wouldcollapse due to lack of redundancy. Redundancyis desirable in modern designs to add the neces-sary factors of safety.

The Edmond Sun

If you’re wondering whytuition rates atOklahoma’s public col-

leges and universities havenearly doubled in the pasteight years, look no furtherthan to the federal govern-ment’s hefty subsidies forstudent loans that distortthe market for higher educa-tion.

Yet President Obama,insistent that “we can’t waitfor Congress to do its job,”is poised to make theseproblems worse with hislatest end-run aroundCongress. Instead of helpingthe people of Oklahoma, hisplan will impose more costson Oklahoma taxpayerswhile causing collegetuition to spike even furtherin our state.

In late October the presi-dent announced a new planto forgive student loan debtand restructure existinggovernment-backed loans.The idea is to make collegemore affordable and stimu-late the economy by puttingmore money in the pocketsof recent college grads. Butsince the federal govern-ment currently has amonopoly on student lend-ing, this amounts to nothingmore than a bailout of thosewith student debt on thebacks of American taxpay-ers.

As with all bailouts, thiswill have some tough-to-swallow consequences. I’llfocus on just one here:College tuition rates will

continue to skyrocketbecause, increasingly, stu-dents will not bear the costsof their own education. TheHeritage Foundation’sLindsey Burke explains in arecent article that federalstudent loan debt forgive-ness “shifts the burden ofpaying for college from thestudent — the person actu-

ally benefit-ting fromcollege — tothe nearlythree-quar-ters ofAmericanswho did notgraduatefrom col-lege.”Taxpayers,that is.

This is yetanothercase of pri-vatized ben-efits with

socialized losses, which iseerily similar to the problemwe saw with “Too Big to Fail”financial companies and thehousing bubble that explod-ed into the financial crisis.

When somebody else ispicking up the tab, prospec-tive students (and/or theirparents) have no incentiveto look for value when com-paring colleges, and, in turn,colleges have no incentive tocontrol costs. The Universityof Oklahoma, for example,recently announced that itwill power its campusentirely with wind energy by

2013.This may be a “feel-good”

move to some, but it willcost the school more than$3 million each year whiledoing nothing to improvestudent education. Tuitionwill go up, but the universitydoesn’t care so long as tax-payers across Oklahoma,instead of enrolled students,are the ones footing the bill.

The problem is that everycollege around the countrywill behave this way, andtuition will spike every-where as a result. This iswhat happens when govern-ment gets in the way:Officials pursue a goal thatsounds nice (send everyAmerican child to college)but holds unintended con-sequences (rapid nation-wide increases in tuitionrates) that leave everyoneworse off.

As much as PresidentObama wants to “act rightaway” to aid the economy,ironically the best thing hecan do to make collegemore affordable for every-one is to get governmentout of the student loan busi-ness entirely and let thosethat benefit directly fromcollege pay their own way.

The Norman Transcript: State’senergy sector continues to boom

The state’s economy showedsome signs of life in 2011.Compared to the previous two

years, it didn’t take much to bendthe needle in a positive direction.But conditions outside the controlof most Oklahomans could bringuncertainty to the outlook for 2012,the Associated Press reports.

The state enters 2012 with one ofthe lowest unemployment rates inthe nation. Oklahoma’s 6.1 percentrate compares to the national rateof 8.6 percent.

The rate of job creation is alsowell above most other states. TheU.S. Chamber of Commerce saysOklahoma is the fourth fastest-growing state for jobs this year.Oklahoma businesses added jobs atthree and a half times the nationalrate since January.

Job growth in the state’s oil andgas industry is particularly strong.About a quarter of all jobs in thestate are directly or indirectly tied tothe energy sector. Small towns andcities in western Oklahoma havebeen revived by oil patch spending.It’s a mini-boom that we’ve seenbefore, each time promising todiversify before the next one.

Manufacturing jobs, a statemainstay for decades, dwindled inthe past 20 years with the closure ofthe General Motors plant inOklahoma City, the 3M plant inWeatherford, Western Electric andDayton Tires in Oklahoma City.One report puts the manufacturingjob loss at 20,000 since 2008.

Cutbacks in the nation’s defensebudget as well as state and localgovernment spending couldimpact the state’s jobless rate.About 23 percent of all jobs in thestate come from government andthe military.

CNHI NEWS SERVICE

PHOENIX — The realization hashit Oklahoma State’s seniors.Monday night, they will slip an OSUjersey over their shoulder pads andplay their last game as a Cowboy.

Yes, they are focusing on Stanford.At times though, they think abouttheir legacy.

And the resumé is pretty good forthis team’s 17 seniors.

The 2011 senior class has 40 wins,eclipsing the school record of 35 setjust a year ago. It has two All-Americans — offensive lineman LeviAdcock and safety Markelle Martin. Itplaced six players on the All-Big 12first or second team.

Senior quarterback BrandonWeeden rewrote the Oklahoma Staterecord book. He owns 19 schoolrecords including single seasonmarks set this year for completions,attempts, passing yards, touchdownpasses, completion percentage andtotal offense.

“It’s the last game for a lot of usseniors at Oklahoma State. So, we areexcited about the Fiesta Bowl,”Weeden said.

The finality of the Fiesta Bowl hitWeeden last week as the Cowboyswere preparing for Stanford.

“It hit me the other day inStillwater when I realized it was mylast practice ever at Boone Pickens,”Weeden said. “Me and Coop (seniorreceiver Josh Cooper) were talkingabout it and I didn’t really thinkabout it until then. It’s kind of a sur-real deal.”

It makes Monday’s Fiesta Bowlloom larger for the seniors who don’twant to end their OSU careers with aloss.

“I’m going to throw on the uniformone last time and hopefully come outon top,” Weeden said.

It’s been a season to remember for

Oklahoma State defensive end JamieBlatnick.

Blatnick leads the team with sevensacks. He picked up his first and onlyinterception of his career againstKansas and nearly turned a fumblerecovery into a touchdown in theDec. 3 44-10 win over Oklahoma.

Blatnick picked up OU quarterbackLandry Jones’ fumble. He raced 59yards along the sideline before hewas brought down at the 1-yard line.

In a season of memories, none sur-pass that fumble and the run.

“All I hear when I go somewhere is‘I didn’t know you were that fast’ or ‘Ithought you were in’ or ‘That was agreat run.’ I just enjoyed it. It was themost fun I ever had,” Blatnick said.

Blatnick said he wants to get thephoto of him running down the side-line with OU players chasing him,have it framed and hang it on hiswall.

This week, Blatnick is focused onOSU’s Fiesta Bowl opponent —

Stanford, but he expects memories ofthe season to linger for the rest of hislife.

“I think it’s one of those things thatwhen I get older I will be braggingabout it,” Blatnick said. Switching toan old man’s voice, Blatnick said hewould be telling his kids: “We startedthis whole thing.” Then in his normalvoice, Blatnick said, “Once I’m done,after this game, it’s probably all goingto hit me. It’s just been a great run.The improvement we made eachyear has just been phenomenal. Ihope it keeps going.”

What legacy does Blatnick hopefreshman, sophomores and juniorswill carry forward?

Hard work creates champions,Blatnick said.

“We didn’t just come out here andit was given to us,” Blatnick said. “Wealways pushed ourselves to do a littlebit more. If the young guys can takethat, keep running with it and pass itdown, it will pay dividends.”

OSU seniors look toward final game
