Her life enriches children’s lives
By KATHLEEN WALLACE
Lifestyles Editor
Sandi Stone is a woman dedicated
to children. She was going to become a
political pollster but she got waylaid
by a trip to China several years ago.
Her trip came about because her
husband Dale was going to teach
geophysics in Beijing and Chen-Du,
China, and was going to be in China
for three weeks. At the same time her
classes were supposed to start. She
decided to take the trip.
“I knew it might be my last chance
to go to China,” she said.
Her friend Jane Enlow also traveled
with them to China. “We traveled all
over Beijing and Chen-Du together,”
she said. “In Chen-Du we attended an
awful lot of dinner parties — I never
adjusted to Chinese foods.”
They also shopped and visited
several tourist sites including the
tombs.
“I just never went back to school,"
she said.
Slone studied political science at
Tulsa Junior College, Oklahoma State
University and Oral Roberts Universi-
ty. A native of Sapulpa and a lifelong
Creek County resident, she attended
Kellyville schools.
GET TO KNOW
YOUR NEIGHBOR
After her trip to China several fami-
ly things occurred. Her husband. Dale,
started his own consulting business.
Also their first grandchild was bom.
Married for 32 years and the mother
of five, Sandy is very interested in
children’s needs.
Stone is the co-chairman of the
Family Fair sponsored by the Creek
County Child Guidance Advisory
Board.
This year’s event will take place
Feb. 23 at the W.H. Shaw Auditorium
at the Sapulpa High School.
“Our board works in the community
to stimulate community interests in
children’s needs, particularly those
needs related to providing a healthy
and emotionally nourishing environ-
ment,” she said. Stone has been on the
board for 22 years.
“We began Family Fair and it is so
popular with families in the county
that we decided to continue it,” she
said. “It is a big hit.”
“We were concerned about family
values before it became a political
issue,” she said.
Stone also might be seen walking
her 5-10 miles daily. “I’m a physical
fitness nut,” she said.
And she still works on political
campaigns — if they interest her.
Stone also gets involved with child-
ren’s sports. She coached the Chiefs
soccer team to state championship in
1985.
“I’m a strong believer in people
participating in children’s sports,” she
said. “Children’s sports should center
around participation.”
“We didn’t know the rules but we
learned,” she said.

A strange call
helps declarer
By Phillip Alder
Bridge is a great game for the
imaginative person. The mind mean-
ders and stumbles onto new ideas.
True, most of these will be useless But
occasionally something that sounds bi-
zarre will work well For example,
suppose the dealer opens the bidding,
your partner doubles and your right-
hand opponent passes Jeremy Flint
suggested that you should treat a one-
level suit response as forcing for one
round The bid doesn't guarantee any
values: it is just forcing Sounds crazy,
but when my partner and I gave it an
extended run. it worked extremely
well.
However, there is a down side to all
strange ideas: The opponents are lis-
tening and might be able to profit.
This applied in today's deal, which oc-
curred during an international event
in London last year.
East's double of Stayman showed a
strong hand (a normal treatment when
one is defending against a weak no-
trump) but also suggested short clubs
(an unusual agreement)
West led the diamond 10 The de-
clarer was Glyn Liggins, editor of
Bridge Magazine, who received the
Best Played Hand prize for his perfor-
mance He won in hand with the king,
drew trumps, taking a finesse through
East, and ducked a diamond. Back
came the club king. Declarer won with
the ace. played a diamond to dummy's
ace, ruffed a diamond in hand, ruffed a
club in dummy and cashed the dia-
mond seven, discarding a club.
East had only hearts remaining. The
lead of dummy’s heart queen end-
played East. He had to concede the
contract-fulfilling trick to the heart

TULSA (AP) — There is scant
support in at least one Oklahoma
congressional district for a Florida
congressman’s bill that would make
Carl Albert and two other former U.S.
House speakers close their retirement
offices.
Rep. Bill Brewster, D-Okla., who
now represents Albert’s district in
Congress, said he does not favor the
effort by Rep. Porter Goss, R-Fla.
“There is so little cost as far as
former speakers are concerned,”
Brewster said.
“I don’t think there is any way he
could address the things he needs to
address without having an office. 1
don’t begrudge him that.”
The offices for Albert, Tip O’Neill
and Jim Wright cost the federal
government about half a million
dollars last year.
Goss calls the offices, which he
wants closed in three years, "lifetime
perks” and says they help promote the
idea that ‘‘Congress is really a
kingdom.”
"It may be reasonable for former
speakers to have some time to
‘conclude official business,”’ Goss
said in a recent letter distributed to
fellow lawmakers. “But the problem
is that the existing law provides for the
former speaker to determine when the
official business is concluded.
“The even larger problem is that
today, not one of the three living
former speakers has made such a
determination.”
The Tulsa World’s Washington
bureau reported the story Sunday.
An aide to Goss said the congress-
man is thinking of sending Albert,
O’Neill and Wright letters asking
them to “lead the way” in the shared
sacrifice Americans arc being asked to
make.
“I don’t think I would vote for
that,” said Albert, who represented
Oklahoma’s 3rd District for 30 years.
‘‘That is just somebody who is trying
to catch hold of something. That’s all
I’ve got to say about it."
According to figures cited by Goss,
staff salaries for all three former
speakers totaled $385,000 per year.
Another $106,000 to $306,000 was
spent for the three offices and their
upkeep.
The General Services Administra-
tion says Albert paid $ 13,000 per year
for rent in McAlcstcr.
Last year, Goss had 75 co-sponsors,
mostly fellow Republicans, for his
bill. His proposal, reintroduced this
session, was blocked by the House
Rules Committee.
Program funding needed
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —
Education Department officials admit
the state could increase its emphasis
on teaching public school students
about the dangers of drug abuse, but
say the effort isn’t lacking.
“Schools could always do more,
but right now they’re doing an adequ-
ate job,” says Dan Reich, director of
comprehensive health services for the
Department of Education. •
A recent national report said Okla-
homa public schools only spend $8.08
per student each year on drug prog-
rams, and that just 37 percent of the
600,000 public school students are
receiving comprehensive drug
education.
All school districts in the state are
trying to offer drug education prog-
rams in kindergarten through 12th
grade, Reich said.
The recent report from the U.S.
Senate Judiciary Committee, citing
figures from a survey of all 50 states,
ranks Oklahoma 42nd in the amount of
money and time spent on drug educa-
tion programs in public schools.
On the average, the 50 states spend
$10.98 per student on drug education
programs and half of the nation’s
schoolchildren are being given
comprehensive instruction, the report
says.
New York lops the list, spending
$21.84 per student, and is "fully serv-
ing” 99 percent of its public school
population, according to the study.
Wyoming is next at $20.15 spent per
student and 92 percent of the students
being fully served.
Ranking below Oklahoma arc Ohio,
Indiana, Iowa, Oregon, Colorado,
Kansas, Nebraska and Utah.
The federal government’s commit-
ment to a comprehensive drug educa-
tion effort “falls far short of what’s
needed, leaving the states to shoulder
the burden,” the report says.
As a result, only eight states are
reaching more than two-thirds of their
students with comprehensive drug
education programs.
Reich said Oklahoma public
schools receive mostly federal funds
for programs, with state and local
money normally not available in
significant amounts for drug
education.
“We’re doing a good job, but we
still have a way to go,” he said

Math helps Indians compete
STILLWATER (AP) — Indian
students and others now attending
college would benefit from additional
math courses because more jobs are
opening in math-based fields, educa-
tors say.
“The growth in jobs is occurring in
math-based fields. Without a back-
ground in basic math, students will be
diverted into service fields,” says Kay
Hilton, a Cherokee and a math teacher
at Tulsa’s Union High.
More than 250 Indian students and
math teachers attended a conference in
Stillwater during the weekend to
discuss ways to keep students in
school. It was funded with a $59,000
grant from the National Science
Foundation.
During the conference, the particip-
ants agreed more math courses and
smaller class sizes also are needed to
help Indians combat a dropout rate that
is among the highest of any ethnic
group.
John Jobe, a math professor at Okla-
homa State University, said more
concentration on math classes will
help graduation rates of all students —
not just Indians — because more jobs
are opening in math-based fields.
Others agreed.
Ms. Hilton cited one study that
showed 80 percent of all students who
complete algebra and geometry attend
college. Without achievement and
understanding in math, children will
be unprepared for a future that some
are calling “the Mathematical Age,”
she said.

She also coached little league
basketball.
And Stone traveled some more, this
time to France and England. With her
22-ycar-old son, Keny, and a friend,
Nanette Lane, she spent two days in
Paris and traveled all over England
Walters
praised for
appointments
TULSA (AP) — Gov. David
Walters’ appointment of several
women and minorities to state posts
gets high praise from some groups.
Of the 1,050 Walters appointments,
more than 20 percent are minorities, a
total of 218. That includes 136
African-Americans, 25 Asians, 23
Hispanics and 34 American Indians.
The governor’s 15 cabinet secreta-
ries include three minority males and
three women.
“I’m 100 percent in favor of every-
thing Gov. Wallers has done on human
relations,” said Leslie Brown with the
Oklahoma City NAACP. “Two of my
favorite governors were David Hall
and George Nigh,” he added. "But
David Wallers, in my opinion, has
done more than either of those two.”
Rep. Wanda Jo Peltier, D-
Oklahoma City and former chairwo-
man of the Women’s Political Caucus,
called Walters’ appointments of
women “great” and “spectacularly
better” than former Gov. George
Nigh, who tapped more women than
any other governor.
Three of the top positions in the
state’s largest agency, the Department
of Human Services are held by blacks,
and two of them are Walters’ choices
— Director Benjamin Demps and
Commission Chairman Terry Chil-
ders, a former Oklahoma City
manager.
“DHS has never been in balance
until now,” said Brown said. He said
blacks always have been under-
represented at DHS, which has a high
percentage of black clients.
Ms. Peltier said Nigh’s record of
appointing about 21 percent women to 1
state boards and commissions was
compiled over eight years. Wallers has
appointed more than 35 percent
women in his first two years.

them, and the government could pay
for continued operations.
Then, the profit margin could be
eliminated and that effort put into
daily care of the residents, he said.
It is an uphill battle, Ryker realizes.
The nursing home industry has 2.5
lobbyists per state, he said.
Nursing home owners were among
top 10 donors to all political
campaigns.
But Ryker and his group will
continue their efforts. Their monthly
meetings have an open forum anil
everyone, member or not, is invited to
attend.

FAIRMONT, Okla. (AP) — The
Highway Patrol says foggy weather
was a large contributor to a two-train
collision at a railroad intersection that
left one crewman dead and three
others injured.
Trooper Lynn Holman, who inves-
tigated the early Sunday accident, said
the Santa Fe train failed to promptly
see red flashing lights because of
heavy fog. The train then stopped on
the southeast-bound track and was
struck by the Burlington Northern
train, which was traveling northwest at
about 40 mph, Holman’s report said.
The accident occurred at 12:45 a.m.
in Fairmont, 15 miles east of Enid.
The fireman on the Santa Fe train,
43-year-old Randy C. Maim of
Denton, Texas, was pronounced dead
at the scene, the patrol said.
The train’s conductor received
treatment for arm injuries and was
released, while its engineer was not
injured, the patrol said.
The engineer of the Burlington
Northern train, A1 J. Phillips, 48, of
Enid, was reported in fair condition at
St. Mary’s Hospital in Enid after
suffering chest injuries, the Highway
Patrol said. The train’s conductor was
treated for cuts and bruises and
released.
