Please turn to page 12 for yet another obit- uary. by Bill & Leslee McComb THE MATTER OF DESTINY Some say their lives are pre- scribed as a matter of destiny. This raises the question as to whether or not we have control over the course of our lives. If not, what is the use of our taking any action, or even deliberating about what action we may take? This sug- gests a certain passivity that does not jibe with the take-control na- ture of our society. On the other hand, is there not a divine plan that guides us all? Perhaps the best answer to these questions comes from the Greek philoso- pher Origen, who wrote: "Things do not happen because God fore- sees them in the distant future; but because they will happen, God knows them before they happen." The most inevitable fact of life is that it will end one day, Making personal arrangements for this day should be no more unusual than making out a will or buying a life insurance policy. We all resist thinking about these things. The disturbing part is that we are forced to make decisions about final arrangements often in the midst of deep sorrow and without really knowing what he or she might have really wanted. For in- formation on prearranged funer- als, call McCOMB FUNERAL HOME, 703 Railroad Ave West (426-4803). QUOTE: "The acts of this life are the destiny of the next." Oriental proverb i SAF00 CAN00T HU00T Y{}U Q. "Is tattooing safe?" A. YES, in this day and age there is an increased awareness about infection control in the tattoo studio environment, both artist and consumers are changing to adapt to today's standards of health and safety through education. There are a number of items to look for to ensure your peace of mind. Is there an autoclave on site? Is single service of materials and equipment provided? Gloves being worn? Clean environment? Your con- ceres are our concerns... Q. "What is an autoclave?" A. An autoclave is a machine that will kill any living microorganism known to mankind. This is not to be confused with toaster ovens, dry heat units, boiling of needles, or soak- ing equipment in alcohol. Autoclaves use heat, steam, and pressure at temps above 270 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 55 minutes from cold start. You can rest assured. Ask to see one/ Q. "What about the materials?" A. Any ointments, pigments, needles, gloves, beakers, etc. used in applying your new tattoo are discarded after use. NOTHING is re-used/After the application, the artist will disinfect the work area with v/r/c/dais that kill any surface bacteria or viruses. Q. "What does the term single service mean?" A. This means that each needle and tube set is individually packaged, dated and sealed, then autoclaved. There is a small icon on the bag that will change color when proper sterilization has occurred. Q. "Why go some place else?" A. When you can get a very nice tattoo right here at the Tattoo Connection in a smoke- free environment. We also offer single needle use, autoclave sterilization and the latest in cross-contamination prevention techniques.

This raises the question as to whether or not we have control over the course of our lives. If not, what is the use of our taking any action, or even deliberating about what action we may take? This sug- gests a certain passivity that does not jibe with the take-control na- ture of our society. On the other hand, is there not a divine plan that guides us all? Perhaps the best answer to these questions comes from the Greek philoso- pher Origen, who wrote: "Things do not happen because God fore- sees them in the distant future; but because they will happen, God knows them before they happen." The most inevitable fact of life is that it will end one day, Making personal arrangements for this day should be no more unusual than making out a will or buying a life insurance policy. We all resist thinking about these things. The disturbing part is that we are forced to make decisions about final arrangements often in the midst of deep sorrow and without really knowing what he or she might have really wanted.

YES, in this day and age there is an increased awareness about infection control in the tattoo studio environment, both artist and consumers are changing to adapt to today's standards of health and safety through education. There are a number of items to look for to ensure your peace of mind. Is there an autoclave on site? Is single service of materials and equipment provided? Gloves being worn? Clean environment? Your con- ceres are our concerns... Q. "What is an autoclave?" A. An autoclave is a machine that will kill any living microorganism known to mankind. This is not to be confused with toaster ovens, dry heat units, boiling of needles, or soak- ing equipment in alcohol. Autoclaves use heat, steam, and pressure at temps above 270 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 55 minutes from cold start. You can rest assured. Ask to see one/ Q. "What about the materials?" A. Any ointments, pigments, needles, gloves, beakers, etc. used in applying your new tattoo are discarded after use. NOTHING is re-used/After the application, the artist will disinfect the work area with v/r/c/dais that kill any surface bacteria or viruses. Q. "What does the term single service mean?" A. This means that each needle and tube set is individually packaged, dated and sealed, then autoclaved. There is a small icon on the bag that will change color when proper sterilization has occurred.
