Suspect in serious condition
after being shot by deputy
By BOB SHERRILL
Herald Staff Writer
A 36-
yea r - o 1 d
Catoosa man
is listed in
serious con-
dition at a
Tulsa hospi-
tal after he
was shot
Wednesday
morning by a
Creek
County Gravelle
deputy sher-
iff on the Creek and Tulsa
County line.
The suspect was identified
by Creek County deputies as
Ralph E. Gravelie, who survived
a day of surgery at St. John
Medical Center in Tulsa.
Gravelie was taken by heli-
copter after one of two shots
from a deputy’s service weapon
went through the suspect's left
arm and hit him in the left tem-
ple, said Chief Criminal Deputy
Mike O’Keefe.
O’Keefe said Gravelie appar-
ently had been surprised by an
employee of the Today’s West
Mobile Home sales lot, at 6184
S. Highway 97.
The employee, Jerry Gordon,
then called the sheriff’s office,
O' Keefe said.
Creek County deputies Dusty

Workout becomes
rush to save life
By DUSTIN HUGHES
Herald Staff Writer
Sapulpa firefighters respond-
ed to a medical emergency
Saturday, rushing to the aid of a
man who had a heart attack and
saving his life.
And they only had to walk a
couple of steps to do it.
Capt Robert Robertson, D.J.
Keizor, Brad Shields and Dee
Banks were exercising at the
Sapulpa Fire Department’s
workout facilities on Dewey
Saturday afternoon.
Hannon Wiley and his wife
Anna Lee were downtown run-
ning errands.
On the way to their car.
Harmon Wiley told Anna Lee
“I'm feeling dizzy,” and started
swaying. Anna Lee tried to stop
him from falling, but Harmon
landed on the ground.
Shields was working out clos-
est to the front of the window-
lined facility when he saw
Harmon grab his chest and col-
lapse.
“He had barely touched the
ground when several of them
(the firefighters) were already
out to where we were.” Anna
Lee said.
Shields immediately checked
Harmon's pulse, finding none.
The other firefighters ran to
their nearby truck and grabbed
an automatic defibrillator and
first aid supplies.
The automatic defibrillator
was ready to work immediately.

Homecoming
activities to kick
off wi parade
By MATTHEW B.
BROADDUS
Herald Managing Editor
Homecoming excitement is
in the air, and the fun begins
today with the annual home-
coming parade through down-
town.
The parade starts at 4 p.m.
The band, color guard,
football players and cheerlead-
ers will fill the streets from
American Heritage Bank to
the high school parking lot.
“Everything is on track,
and the parade will start at 4
p.m. unless it is raining,” said
Tom Trigalet, Sapulpa High
School principal.
“Hundreds of students are
participating in this year’s pa-
rade,” Tom Balinger, Sapulpa
High School assistant princi-
pal, said earlier.
In addition to high school
students, junior high, middle
and elementary football play-
ers and cheerleaders will be
part of the parade.
Trigalet said there is always’
a good turnout and lots of sup-
port at homecoming activities.
Another tradition for
Sapulpa students is the home-
coming pep rally held in the
gym Friday.
Trigalet aaid that spreading
the homecoming activities
across two days gives the band
a chance to rest between par-
fomances.
Starting at 3 p.m. Friday,
the community is invited to
the annual tailgate cookout.
have it in the commons area,”

Group takes written word seriously
By GREG STONE
llcruld Avsuciule Editor
Once a month a distinguished group of
people can be found in the chamber of com-
merce building, huddled around a confer-
ence table, sharing their experiences
through the power of words.
The group is diverse, comprised mostly
of senior citizens and retired business peo-
ple who share one thing: a love for writing.
Joe Taylor is one of them.
“What I want to get across in my poetry
(is) the essence that life is a struggle. A
struggle of sorrow, happiness, good times
and bad times,” Taylor said. “All living
things have to struggle, but we’re not alone
in our struggle.”
“I really started writing poetry in 1975,”
said Donna Dee Baxter, another writer, “and
I thank God that I can. It is our creator that
taps that creative side of our minds, then I
feel inspired and I give God the glory for
anything that I can do.”
Like some others in the group, Baxter has
published some of her work. Her book is ti-
tled “I Am He Who Speaks.” a collection of
scripture passages, prophecies and poems.
Joan Sivadon is another poet who has
published. “I occasionally write a poem be-
cause I can’t help it, because it just comes
out.” she said. “1 just wouldn't give it up for
anything in the world.”
Some writers in the group, like Carol
McMasters, create for their own personal
reasons.
“I write probably for my own enjoyment.”
especially for birthdays and anniversaries,
McMasters said. ”1 write also to expand my
vocabulary and to try new subjects. It's just
a w ay of expression.”
Jack Foley agreed. ‘Mainly I write for my
own fun.” Foley has been a writer for sever-
al years, and he continues his craft daily by
writing in a journal at his desk.
Foley and his fellow writers came togeth-
er a number of years ago after being recruit-
ed by the late Mutt Potter, who founded the
group by “collecting people.”
’To get a group like this together at a cer-
tain spot on a certain night is quite an ac-
complishment.” Foley said.
“It’s an interesting collection of people."
