Inmate sentenced for escape, kidnapping
MUSKOGEE (AP) — A Jess Dunn Correctional Center inmate who
kidnapped a prison secretary and briefly escaped has been sentenced to 50 addi-
tional years in prison.
William Eugene Ruble, 49, who was serving 10 years to life on a 1974 second-
degree murder conviction, Monday received an additional 10 years for escaping
from a penal institution, which he will serve after he finishes his current sentence,
a district attorney spokesman said.
Ruble also received 20 years for possessing contraband in a penal institution,
to run concurrent with the first count, and 30 years, to be served consecutive to
the other charges, on a count of assault with a dangerous weapon.
The inmate was sentenced to 50 years on the kidnapping charge concurrent
with the third count, officials said.
Ruble was accused of pulling a 10-inch homemade knife on secretary Patricia
Alexander in April as she was leaving work and forcing her to drive to
Muskogee.
Ms. Alexander escaped unharmed in a grocery store parking lot and Ruble was
captured by a sheriff’s deputy who had followed the car.
Ruble pleaded guilty to the charges in June.
Okmulgee deputies claiming overtime
OKMULGEE (AP) — An Okmulgee County commissioner says he was
surprised to learn from the U.S. Labor Department that the county owes nearly
$125,000 in overtime to more than three do/.cn current and former sheriffs
department employees.
County Commissioner C.D. Kisscc said the U.S. Labor Department notified
him by telephone that the money was owed to the deputies.
“The call was a shock,” Kisscc said Monday.
District Attorney Tom Guilioli said a letter from the U.S. Labor Department
states that 16 employees under former Sheriff Bill Weaver and 21 employees
under Sheriff Jim Hart claim they are owed a total of $124,906 in overtime pay.
Kisscc and Guilioli said they believe some of the claims are not justified
because some employees are in supervisory positions and not entitled to over-
time pay.
Guilioli and Kissce said a meeting is scheduled Monday with Labor Depart-
ment officials to discuss the claims.
Kissee said if the claims arc verified, then it will have to come out of the sher-
iff’s budget.
“It’s his responsibility,” Kissce said.
Hart, who was acquitted after an ouster trial earlier this year, was out of the
office Monday and could not be reached for comment, a dispatcher said.
OU borrows money to pay workers on time
NORMAN (AP) — University of Oklahoma officials say it was better to
bom>w money from its foundation to ensure workers would be paid promptly
than gamble that problems with a state payroll computer would be corrected in
lime to meet a Friday deadline.
“We didn’t know when we would get our checks,” John Mixrre, university
controller, said Monday. “This was a contingency plan. We used it, and they got
paid on time." .
Despite “people getting excited about rumors,” the state paid 14,(KK) workers
on Fritlay, the scheduled payday, said Carolyn Zicgcnhom, state finance director
of administration. .,
“We told everyone they would get their checks Friday, and as lar as 1 know,
everyone got their checks Friday,” Ms. Zicgcnhom said.
The state’s switch to a new computer system delayed the time the state normal-
ly would run payroll tapes by several days.
Hearing about the problems, university officials moved quickly to borrow
money from the University of Oklahoma Foundation. They set up an account at a
Norman bank by Thursday just to handle the one time payroll, said Suzanne
Gilmore, the university payroll manager.
That let the university offer 1,800 employees their checks on lime, at X a.m.
Friday The workers had to sign a release at the bursar’s olficc noting they had
been paid, and had to pick the checks up rather than receive them through their
department.
During convention:
Administrators voice concern
City
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — State
school superintendent Gerald Hoelt/.el
says he wasn’t surprised that a conven-
tion of Oklahoma school administra-
tors arrived with numerous complaints
and questions about a recently passed
education reform measure.
“This is the first time we’ve had a
chance to get all the administrators in
at once since passage of the bill,”
Hoeltzel said Monday. “There’s a lot
of different interpretations of the bill.
Everyone has different
circumstances.”
Hoeltzel said many of the admini-
strators’ questions about House Bill
1017, the recently passed education
reform bill, were actually complaints
and angry comments in disguise.
4 ‘ But we need to hear them, because
there are some real problems we need
to look at,” Hoeltzel said. “Some of
them are legitimate (complaints).”
Some of the administrators who
gathered for the three-day workshop
said the implementation of the
measure has created unexpected prob-
lems for their districts.
“There’s definitely confusion,”
said Leroy Orr, superintendent of
schools in Afton. “But there’s also
frustration. Everybody’s frustrated,
especially those who resent (House
Bill) 1017.”
[luring Monday’s session, several
administrators fired questions about
the education bill to state Department
of Education officials and many
appeared unsatisfied with the answers.
Most of the questions centered on
meeting specific mandates included in
HB1017, passed during a special
session of the state Legislature. Others
were broad questions asking what the
Legislature intended with the some of
the new rules.
Some of the differing interpreta
lions came over new class size limits.
The bill mandates that schools meet
lower class-size limits for different
grade levels beginning in 1990-1991
and ending with 1993-1994. But it also
changes the way of determining what a
particular class-size is.
Phil Napier, state director of accrc
said.
ditation, said the new formula is to
assure that teachers don’t teach more
than 20 or 21 students per day. But
there are several new exceptions and
special circumstances, and many
administrators seemed unhappy with
the explanations.
One asked Napier whv a class-size
provision was worded in the manner it
was.
It’s in the bill that way,” Napier
But aren’t there any more
answers?” asked another.
Hoeltzel said the workshop is just
the first step in making administrators
aware of the new changes, and with
time the confusion should subside. He
said department officials will be sent
throughout the slate in the upcoming
months to help local school officials
cope with the confusion.
Some of the remaining presenta-
tions during the workshop include
drug prevention programs, special
education, changes in teachers’ retire
ment and a financial update on the
education bill.
Appeal planned in river case
FAYETTEVILLE. Ark. (AP) —
Arkansas Attorney General Steve
Clark says that, if a federal appeals
court doesn’t agree to a rehearing of
the Illinois River case, it will be appe-
aled to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Clark, who was recently charged
with felony theft by deception stem-
ming from discrepancies in his
expense account felonies, said
Monday he would pursue the dispute
with Oklahoma vigorously. It could be
one of the last major cases with which
he will deal in the five months remain
ing in his term, he said.
At a meeting of area officials in the
Fayetteville municipal building, Clark
also urged several other northwestern
Arkansas cities to join Fayetteville in
the legal battle.
He said Prairie Grove, Lincoln,
Siloam Springs, Rogers, Springdale
and Gentry all either put treated waste-
water into Illinois River tributaries or
place it directly into Fayetteville’s
system. That gives them a stake in
overturning last week’s ruling by a
three-judge panel of the 10th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals at Denver,
Clark said.
Fayetteville officials say growth in
northwestern Arkansas and the inte-
grity of Beaver Lake — into which the
rest of the city’s effluent now goes —
will be threatened if the decision
stands.
The appeals court said Fayetteville
must stop dumping effluent into Mud
Creek, an Illinois River tributary. In
Oklahoma, the Illinois has been
declared a scenic river, and that stale
allows no degradation of the quality of
the river’s water.
The court held that Oklahoma water
quality standards carry the weight of
federal law, because the Environmcn
tal Protection Agency has endorsed
the state standards.
Clark said the ruling means Oklaho-
ma officials will have to shut down
everyone who discharges effluent into
the river on their side of the state line
as well.
He will try to get the full 10th
Circuit Court to rehear the case, Clark
said. If that request is denied, he said,
he will petition the U.S. Supreme
Court.
According to Clark, effluent from
Fayetteville’s $48 million treatment
facility is cleaner than water currently
in the Illinois River. Clark said he
agrees with Oklahoma that the river
isn’t as clean as it was, but he said
that’s primarily because of pollution
from businesses and cities in Oklaho
ma, including Tahlcquah.
“There will he no additional load
ing into the Illinois River, none,
nothing,” said Clark. “I’ve said face
tiously that means not even a diet
drink, but that’s what the order seems
to say.”
Arkansas could declare the Arkan
sas River a scenic waterway, and keep
Oklahoma from discharging wastewa-
ter into the river, Clark said.
“But that’s not the answer,” he
said. “I just don’t think that’s a card
that needs to be played right now.”
Clark said the decision has national
implications, because it requires any
state or city discharging wastewater
into a river to meet the water quality
standards of those downstream. For
instance, he said, Minnesota would
have to meet the standards of all nine
states downstream along the Missis-
sippi River if it discharges effluent
into that river.

Public Records
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A
federal grand jury has awarded $3,500
to the mother of a fleeing burglary
suspect shot in the back and killed by
an Oklahoma City police officer in
1987.
“No one deserves to be shot in the
back and killed, especially not by the
police, who are supposed to protect
us,” Mary Rios said Monday after the
jury reached its decision in her federal
civil rights lawsuit.
Marc Rios was fatally shot by offic-
er Eddie Stupka after a 30 minute foot
chase in southwest Oklahoma City on
Oct. 26, 1987. Stupka claimed he shot
Rios, 19, because he thought the man
was reaching for a gun, but police
found only two knives on the body.
A police review board originally
ruled that the shooting violated depart
mental policy, but later reversed itself
and cleared Stupka after the police
union filed a grievance. Prosecutors
declined to file criminal charges
against the seven year police veteran.
Brian Dell, Mrs. Rios’ attorney,
said the lawsuit would never have
been filed “had the city done the right
thing.”
“We were looking for a little bit of
justice and I think she (Mary Rios)
found it,” Dell said.
Mrs. Rios said the size of the award
didn’t matter to her.
“We were wanting the truth to
come out and it finally has,” she said.
“I’m not bitter against the city and the
officer. All 1 wanted was the right
thing done ... to take officer Stupka off
the police force and not let him carry a
gun.”
Robert Manchester, Stupka’s attor
ncy, said he was “very disap
ppointed” by the verdict.
“He (Stupka) still feels he did what
he had to do,” Manchester said.
Oklahoma City police chief Dave
McBride, wpo attended most of the
four-day trial, said no action would be
taken against Stupka, 33, as a result of
the verdict.
“This case as far as the department
is concerned was adjudicated by the
former chief well over 24 years ago,”
McBride said.
McBride said Stupka had to make a
split-second decision and that he
didn’t want the verdict “to be taken
out of context” by other police
officers.
“I don’t expect them to wait to be
shot before they can defend them-
selves,” he said.
Stupka has been doing administra-
tive work since the shooting, McBride
said.
The chief said he would review the
verdict with the city’s legal division to
sec if it will have any ramifications on
departmental policy.
