Respite care will help families
By MENDY MAYBERRY
Living Editor
Respite care for families with
mentally retarded children soon will
be available in Sapulpa, according to
Maridce Filbcck, executive director
lor Sapulpa Handicapped Adult
Retarded Endcavcr (SHARE).
Filbeck said the respite care prog-
ram will offer local residents a place
lake mentally retarded children and
adults a couple of days a month that is
governed by a quality, trained staff.
Respite care, made possible by a
United Way grant that is good through
1988, is a two-fold program that offers
both an information referral service
and the care.
The local respite care program will
be free and will be held from 1-5 p.m.
on the second and fourth Saturday of
each month at Bartlett School.
Filbeck said information and prog-
ram applications for local residents
will be available at an open house from
1-3 p.m. Saturday at Bartlett School.
The open house also will give Sapul-
pans a chance to meet the respite care
program’s staff.
The program will begin Nov. 28.
Reservations will be required to parti-
cipate. Filbcck said staff size will be
determined by the number of reserva-
tions, but she plans on a staff ratio of
three to one.
Although this is the first local
respite care program, Filbeck said
there arc respite care programs in
Tulsa and Norman.
The local program will offer parents
a place to leave retarded children as
well as other siblings while doing
errands, shopping or just relaxing for
an afternoon.
The program, which Filbcck hopes
to expand, will include planned activi-
ties, games, movies, snacks and other
features of day care. She also plans to
incorporate some learning experiences
with the help of her staff, which is
trained to work with the mentally
retarded.
Filbcck said anyone wanting more
information on the program may call
the SHARE office, 224-1629. SHARE
welcomes financial contributions
from the community, and Filbcck is
available to speak to any group inter-
ested in the respite program or
SHARE.
Market soars in early trading
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose
sharply today and the Dow Jones aver-
age leaped 64 points, helped by a high-
er dollar, the best U.S. trade figures
since last spring and optimism that
Washington would announce a deficit-
cutting plan.
The blue-chip indicator, which has
remained unsteady since its 508-point
collapse Oct. 19, jumped from its
1,899.20-point close Wednesday to
the 1,963 level in the first few minutes
of trading on Wall Street.
Analysts attributed much of the
rally to the Commerce Department’s
trade report, which showed that the
United Slates narrowed its deficit from
S15.7 billion in August to S14.1 billion
in September, largely because of a
sharp decline in the value of imports.
It was the best result since a $14
billion shortfall reported in May and
immediately buoyed the financial
markets, where concern over U.S.
budget and trade deficits was an
important clement in the world stock
crash Oct. 19.
The dollar rallied strongly in New
York, rising 1 yen in value to 136 yen
at midmoming from its 135-yen close
Wednesday. That is more than 2 yen
higher than its 133.65-yen record low
set Tuesday in Tokyo. The dollar also
was sharply higher against European
currencies.
Strength in the dollar and reports
that the administration and Congress
w ere progressing toward an agreement
to cut the federal budget deficit also
helped buoy stock markets worldwide.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange’s key
indicator, the Nikkei stock average of
225 selected issues, gained 509.74
points today and closed at 21,546.50.
The indicator had fallen 649.70 points
on Wednesday.
Share prices on the Hong Kong
stock exchange rose sharply in
increased trading. The Hang Seng
Index, the market’s prime indicator of
blue chips, gained 104.69 points, clos-
ing at 2150.87.
Prices also surged on the London
Stock Exchange. The Financial
Timcs-Slock Exchange 100-share
index gained 55.3 points to 1,694.6 by
midaftemoon.
Manslaughter
charge filed
By the Herald StalT
A Sapulpa man was charged with
first-degree manslaughter this week in

1984, at 2:10 a.m. McGuire was

driven by Taldo.
Reports showed McGuire traveled 6
feet left of center before hitting
Taldo’s vehicle. Also, officers deter
ruined McGuire was under the influ
cncc of intoxicating liquor at the lime
of the incident.
Courthouse records also show that
upon arrival by officers, Taldo’s vehi-
cle was on fire with the younstcr still
inside. The report said Taldo died at
the scene.

had his legs pinned.
A preliminary hearing date has not
been set.
Kidnapping brings
15-year sentence
By the Herald Staff
An area man was sentenced this
week to 15 years in prison for the
kidnapping and robbery of a Kcllyvillc
couple.
Clyde Paul Stamp also was
sentenced to serve five years probation
after he completes his prison term for
the Jan. 26 kidnapping and robbery of
Max and Eloise Staigcr.
Stamp was arrested in Alaska in
April and extradited back to Oklaho-
ma. He plead guilty to the offense

kidnapping. He is still at large and

Author tells story of success
By DEBORAH LARGE
Herald Staff Writer
Jefferson Elementary students
learned a lot more than literature
Wednesday when an Oklahoma author
shared his story of perseverance to get
published.
After more than 30 attempts and 30
rejections, Bill Wallace of Chickasha,
Okla., finally had his manuscript
published as a book. Now, he has
established himself in the wonderful
world of children’s stories.
Wallace spent a little more than five
years of his life as a teacher and princi-
pal while trying to gel his story about a
dog published.
The book, “A Dog Called Kitty,”
has since become standard reading for
school children.
Wallace told Jefferson Elementary
students the talc of how he began writ-
ing stories.
As a fourth grade teacher in Chick-
asha, his students asked him to read a
story to them. The first book he read to
the class was “Old Ycllcr.”
The students really enjoyed hearing
the book and asked Wallace to read
another one to them.
This time he picked out a Hardy
Boys classic, but the enthusiasm
waned.
So, he read “Swiss Family Robin
son," but again, the students were not
responding to the story. Just like with
the Hardy Boys, they were talking,
coloring and not listening.
Finally, one student asked Wallace
to tell them a story about himself when
he was a youngster. He did and they
liked it.
The students wanted more and more
stories about Wallace’s childhood, but
he soon discovered he was running out
of childhood adventures.
Over a Christmas holiday, he wrote
a story, came back and read it to the
students. They enjoyed it and even
read it on their own, still in manuscript
form.
He told Jefferson students that the

Wintry storm blamed in 14 deaths
Associated Press Writer
A wintry storm blamed for 14
deaths blustered up the New England
coast today after dumping a record 15
inches of snow near Washington,
D.C., stranding hundreds of students
at schools and disrupting Veterans
Day ceremonies.
Cold air moving behind the storm,
meanwhile, dropped temperatures
below freezing today in the Deep
South.
Wednesday's snowfall left 3 inches
in the mountains of North Carolina; 9
inches in Harrisburg, Pa., and up to 6
inches in New York’s Catskill moun-
tains and Massachusetts’ Berkshircs.
The storm lost much of its power as
it moved up the coast late Wednesday.
A light snowfall was expected for New
England before the storm moved into
the Atlantic.
Hardest hit by Wednesday’s sudden
storm were Maryland, the District of
Columbia and Virginia, where the
storm lingered before it skirted the
New York City area.
Thunderstorms accompanying the
snow helped produce 5 inches of snow
in three hours Wednesday afternoon in
the Washington area. Fifteen inches
fell in nearby District Heights, Md.,
and a foot of snow shut down
Washington's National Airport for
most of Wednesday.
The snowfall broke the area's 1967
record, when the total for the entire
month was 6.9 inches.
The snow kept schools closed today
in at least five Maryland districts.
About 1,100 students in Fairfax
County, Va., were stranded at
Hayfield Secondary School, where
they were served supper and watched
movies until about 9 p.m., when buses
made it through.
Despite the storm. Veterans Day
ceremonies went on as scheduled at
Arlington National Cemetery and at
the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial, but
first lady Nancy Reagan canceled a
trip to New York for a concert.
The storm also forced Rhode bland
officials to cancel or postpone Veter-
ans Day parades.
