Widower feels stuck in relationship

DEAR HARRIETTE: I lost my wife back in 2015 and became a single father of three. I've had help from family and friends as I navigate fatherhood without my wife. I became closer than expected with one of those friends – to the point of intimacy – with the understanding that I did not want a relationship with her. When I mentioned I'd like to start dating other people, she became angry. I feel indebted to her because she has been a huge help to me, but I just don't see a future with her. What should I do? – Feeling Obligated

DO JUST ONE THING

● Yes, leaky windows can allow cold air into your home, but they're not the only culprits you should check for during the winter months. Your attic and basement are actually the worst sources for air leaks, so it's important to check for cracks and holes where cold air may be seeping in. Be sure to check the floors as well, and use caulk or expanding foam to seal them up. Stopping a few leaks will go a long way to improve the overall energy efficiency inside your home.

ODOT crews ready when needed

Ahead of the storm, ODOT crews spread a brine solution on I-40 throughout western Oklahoma so snow and ice will begin to melt as soon as it hits the pavement. Adding the brine makes it easier for the snow plow to do its job if needed. CDN Photo

A 15-year-old male was arrested for assault and battery with a deadly weapon Friday. The juvenile got into an altercation around 4 a.m. Friday with Clinton resident Keelie Gifford, 21, before allegedly shooting at him. Clinton Detective Luis De La Torre said the juvenile was sent to the Comanche County Detention Center.

A 7-year-old boy drowned Saturday afternoon on his family’s farm located one mile south and three miles west of Putnam in Dewey County. The child was driving a John Deere Gator utility vehicle when he drove it into a pond and fell through a layer of ice, said Dewey County Sheriff Clay Sander.
