Sentence scheduled in
county drug lab case
By the Herald Staff
TULSA — Three men who alleged
ly ran a Creek County drug lab will be
scnienccd next month after pleading
guilty this week in U.S. District Court
to drug coaspiracy charges.
Paul Richard Jastrzcmbski, Jerry
Steven Thurman and Charles Frcdcr
ick Leonard pleaded guilty to charges
related to the operation, according to
reports.
Two defendants, Russ Robert
Burnett and Michael David McNeil,
pleaded guilty earlier this month to
charges of conspiracy to manufacture
and distribute mclhamphetaminc.
Burnett has pleaded not guilty to a
first-degree murder charge in a related
Creek County case in connection with
the Dec. 21 shooting death of a rural
Jennings man.
Canup’s body was found in his car
at a gas station in Oilton after an appa-
rent gun battle at a mobile home near
Jennings, Sheriff Doug Nichols said at
the time of the investigation.
County and federal authorities later
discovered and dismantled the
methamphctaminc production site at
the mobile home.
A drug conspiracy charge against a
sixth defendant, Harold Edward
Martin, was dropped in exchange for
his testimony against the other defen
dants, authorities said.
The operation allegedly supplied
methamphctaminc, or “crank," to the
Dallas area, according to authorities.
C’anup w as allegedly killed because
he wanted to move the lab back to
Texas, according to the indictment
filed in thccase.

Labor lawsuit filed
against the county
By the Herald Staff
TULSA — A lawsuit against Creek
County claiming violations of the Fair
Labor Standards Act was filed Tues-
day in U.S District Court by the U.S.
Department of Labor.
The county has allegedly been in
violation of labor standards since at
least October 1988 by failing to pay
time anil a half to employees w orking
more than 40 hours a week, according
to the suit.
The suit also claims the county did
not maintain accurate employee
records of wages, hours and other
employment practices.
Officials said the suit apparently
stems from actions of administrators
in the sheriff’s office during the admi
nistralion of former Sheriff Bob Whit
worth, who was defeated by Sheriff
Doug Nichols in 1989.

increases and five reported declines.
The following arc figures for
selected area cities:
CREEK COUNTY

Education report completed
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A
committee created by a controversial
$223 million school reform and tax
package has released its final report on
improving the curriculum of state
schools.
The report now faces the scrutiny of
the state Board of Education.
Nancy O’Brian of Norman, chair-
woman of the Oklahoma Curriculum
Committee, proclaimed Wednesday
that reforms in House Bill 1017 will
allow Oklahoma to he “far ahead of
our neighbors” in educational quality.
The report, which was prepared
ahead of today’s meeting of the slate
school board, was discussed by Ms.
O’Brian at Gov. Henry Bcllmon’s
weekly news conference.
Sandy Garrett, state education
secretary, said public hearings will be
held before the stale hoard acts on the
recommendations.
Ms. O’Brian, assistant superinten
dent of the Norman school system,
said House Bill 1017 requires accoun
lability by schools but gives them flex
ibilily in how they meet mandated
state standards.
She said curriculum standards
outlined in the report arc required to be
implemented by 1993.
She said schools would not be
penalized until 1997 if they have not
met the standards, such as offering two
units of foreign language and four
units each of science and math.
Denial of state accreditation and
state funds is a possibility, she said.
Ms. O’Brian said she thought public
support would increase for House Bill
1017 as Oklahomans become better
informed that the measure demands
accountability.
She said the goal is for all state
schools to meet or exceed standards of
the North Central Accreditation Asso-
ciation. It is estimated that only 65
percent of schools now meet the
standards.
A synopsis of the report stales the
success of recommended reforms w ill
depend on adequate funding.
“Therefore, it is the belief of the
Oklahoma Curriculum Committee
that all funds allocated through House
Bill 1017 must remain in place,” the
report says.
It recommends implementation of
the reforms be suspended if House Bill
1017 is repealed, as is proposed in
initiative petitions under review in the
Oklahoma Supreme Court.
Bush signs temporary budget program
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congres-
sional leaders were putting the finish-
ing touches today on a deficit-
reduction package of tax increases and
spending restraints that apparently has
the support of a majority of lawmakers
and President Bush.
Bush early this morning averted
shutdown of the government by sign-
ing a temporary spending measure that
will keep operations going until
midnight Saturday.
Assuming no unexpected hitch,
final votes could come Friday in the
House and Senate. That would close
another chapter in a long-running fight
between the executive and legislative
branches and remove the major obsta-
cle to final adjournment of the 101st
Congress.
“Do not despair; the end is in
sight,” Rep. Silvio Conte, R-Mass.,
said in pleading with the weary House
to pass a stopgap bill extending the
government’s spending authority
through the week.
That bill cleared the House on a
380-45 vote and the Senate with no
formal vote at all. It averted a partial
shutdown of the government and gave
Congress three more days to pass the
deficit-reduction plan and the 13 regu-
lar appropriation bills for the fiscal
year that began Oct. 1.
The plan will mean higher taxes on
tobacco, alcoholic beverages, airline
tickets, cars, boats, furs and jewelry. A
gasoline tax increase of 5 or 6 cents a
gallon is likely and retirees probably
will have to pay more for Medicare
coverage.
Several changes whose details were
still being negotiated will mean heftier
income taxes on those with higher
incomes, especially those above the
$100,000-a-ycar range. But a provi-
sion that would have raised taxes on
lowcr-and middle-income Americans
by forgoing next year’s scheduled
inflation adjustment in income taxes
was dropped.
Leaders of both parties embraced
broad outlines of the deficit-reduction
compromise Wednesday after Demo-
crats dropped demands that it include a
special surtax on the rich. Bush indi-
cated he was pleased with progress
being made, but top lawmakers
cautioned they had not agreed on a
final product.
The talks have produced prelimin-
ary agreement on major tax issues
including:
—Raising the top tax rate on the
wealthiest people to 31 percent from
the present 28 percent. The 33 percent
MANNFORD: $43,327.34 this

Drug arrest made
during traffic stop
vj the Herald StalT
A 20-year-old man was arrested
Wednesday after an unknown quantity
of a controlled drug was discovered in
his car during a routine traffic stop,
according to officials.
Creek County Jail records indicate
Scott Arthur Martin was jailed on
suspicion of possession of a controlled
dnig with intent to distribute, posses-
sion of drug paraphernalia, speeding
and driving under suspension.
Officials said Martin was reportedly
stopped by Oklahoma Highway Patrol
troopers for speeding when the alleged
drugs were discovered in his vehicle.
Further information on the arrest
was unavailable at presstime.
Martin remains held in the Creek
County Jail.
OUR GOAL
F240,
rate paid by uppcr-middlc-income
people on some of their earnings
would drop to 31 percent.
—Phasing out the $2,050 personal
exemptions for single people with
taxable incomes over $100,000 and
couples above $150,000.
—Permitting writing off only 97
percent of otherwise allowable deduc-
tions against any portion of adjusted
gross income over $100,000 a year.
—Setting a maximum tax rate of 28
percent on capital gains, which arc
profits from the sale of investments.
The bill that contains tax increases
and restraints on Medicare and other
mandatory spending would cut the
deficit by about $250 billion over the
next five years. Another $250 billion
would come principally from scaling
back military spending.
