California family in
stable condition after
rescued from storm
CEDARVILLE, Calif. (AP) -
As coyotes howled, James Stolpa
trudged on frozen feet, desperately
seeking help in the snow-covered
desert for the wife and child he had
left sheltered by a sleeping bag
hanging from a rock shelf.
After 22 hours of wandering
through waist-high drifts, Stolpa
spotted a highway worker yesterday,
and his eight-day ordeal ended.
Five hours later, using directions
from Stolpa, California Highway
Patrol Officer Pat Green discovered
Jennifer Stolpa, cuddling 5-month-
old Clayton beneath an outcropping
"in the middle of nowhere."
The couple survived on coconut
cookies, Doritos and prenatal vita-
mins. Mrs. Stolpa nursed Clayton
and melted ice in her mouth for
water.
"We were worried about freezing
to death or starving to death," Stolpa
said yesterday at Surprise Valley
Community Hospital, his damaged
feet wrapped and little Clayton cra-
dled in his arms. "We did a lot of
praying."
The ordeal began in Northern
California on Dec. 29 when the
Stolpas borrowed a pickup truck to
attend the funeral of Stolpa's
grandmother in Pocatello, Idaho.
Just as they left, a severe storm
struck, bringing 9 feet of snow to the
area. Authorities believe the Stolpas
got stuck the first night.
After five nights in the snow-
bound truck without seeing another
car, "we had to decide whether to
stay and die or try and do something
and die," said Stolpa, an Army pri-
vate at Camp Roberts, near Paso
Robles.
"I would tell her, 'We're not do-
ing it for me, we're not doing it for
you. We're doing it for the baby,"'
he said.
The couple walked 12 miles
through drifts up to waist-high until
they found shelter under a ledge
Sunday where Mrs. Stolpa and the
baby stayed while Stolpa continued
his trek for help.
While trudging through the high
desert, Stolpa told doctors, he could
hear the coyotes.
Mrs. Stolpa said her husband "is
more than a hero to me."
"I don't think I could have picked
anyone better. He had the courage
and the drive to get us out of there
and he did," she said from her hospi-
tal bed.
Stolpa and his wife were in stable
condition with severe frostbite to
their toes and feet. The baby was
unharmed.
"They never lost their heads and
that's what saved their lives," said
Modoc County Sheriff Bruce Mix.
The Stolpas were transferred later
yesterday to Washoe Medical Center
in Reno, Nev. A plow cleared a path
for their ambulance on Highway 395
as more snow fell.
Stolpa was "somewhat incoherent
when he was found" 30 miles north
of Vya in the wilderness of north-
western Nevada, said Dave Reider, a
spokesperson for Lassen National
Forest.
Dr. Hugh Washburn said high-
way worker Dave Peterson took
Stolpa home, where his wife "heated
(Stolpa's) feet with a blow dryer so
his socks could be pulled off without
tearing off the tissue." Stolpa was
wearing panty hose and heavy socks,
but only light shoes, Washburn said.
The baby was dressed in multiple
layers of clothes, wrapped in a baby
sleeping bag and an adult sleeping
bag.
Stolpa said he and his wife
placed Clayton in a garment bag that
acted as a sled, and the motion
"soothed him" on their hike.
Shetland
Islanders
cope with
oil sp11
S UMBURGH, Shetland
Islands (AP) - Harsh weather
halted efforts yesterday to battle
an oil spill fouling rich marine
habitats and spreading noxious
fumes and oil on land.
An oil mist blowing inland
forced some parents to keep chil-
dren home from school and led
farmers to move their oil-smeared
sheep. Residents worried about
crops and the famous Shetland
ponies, native to the North Sea
islands.
"It's always been a very
healthy place until now," said
Helen Thomson, who runs a pony
trekking business. "I think what
surprised us all is the effect the oil
spill has had on agriculture and
livestock."
The Liberian-registered Braer,
carrying 24.6 million gallons of
Norwegian oil to Canada, ran
aground Tuesday after its engines
failed in hurricane-force winds
Government officials say pri-
vately that about half the cargo has
spilled into the sea.
Gale-force winds and lashing
rains all but shut down yesterday's
efforts to rescue wildlife and clean
up the spreading slick. The
Oil oozes out of the Liberian-registered oil tanker Braer as it lies half-submerged off the southern tip of the
Shetland Islands. The tanker survived intact through one night of ferocious pounding.
weather also prevented planes
from dropping detergents to dis-
perse it.
"A day lost to weather would
be the best way to describe it,"
said George Sutherland, director
of marine operations in the
Shetlands.
The ship's owners, Bergvall
and Hudner of New York, said in
a statement they hoped workers
could begin pumping oil from the
tanker's holds this weekend. They
have pledged compensation.
A salvage team reported
Wednesday the tanker is in one
piece and partly submerged. If the
ship breaks under the pounding
waves, the remaining oil will spill.
Sutherland said oil had spread
four miles up the east coast of
Mainland, the largest island in the
Shetland chain about 100 miles off
the Scottish coast. Oil also was
moving near West Burra island, an
important salmon farming area 13
miles north of the wreck.
Hundreds of dead, oil-covered
fish and birds were found along
the Mainland coast yesterday. The
Shetlands are famed for thriving
seabird colonies, and waters teem-
ing with fish and sea mammals.
Wind has sprayed oil as far as
four miles inland, smearing a
brown coating on farms and sheep.
At the south point of the island, oil
droplets spatter clothing and cling
to the skin.
Martin Hall, director of envi-
ronmental services for the
Shetland Islands Council, said
several farms were damaged.

healthy foods at
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP)
- A local supermarket chain is
joining the fight against flab with a
labeling system to steer customers
toward the healthier foods on its
shelves.
Tom's Food Markets, which has
four stores in the Traverse City area,
will affix tags to thousands of pro-
cessed food products beginning
Monday, a spokesperson said.
The "High Fit, Low Fat" color-
coded tagging is based on studies by
the University Medical Center's
MedSport Preventive Cardiology
Program. Foods were evaluated for
dietary fiber, fat, saturated fat,
cholesterol and sodium as disclosed
on product labels.
Foods the MedSport program
considers acceptable will have a
green tag. Those evaluated as ac-
ceptable in limited use will have a
yellow tag.
Under the MedSport program,
foods that don't make either of these
categories are considered unaccept-
able and get a red tag. Tom's, how-
supermarket
ever, will use only green and yellow
tags. Foods that don't fall into either
category will not be tagged.
The idea is to encourage people
to consider the recommended items,
not to discourage them from buying
others, Marty Phelan, director of
merchandising for Tom's, said
yesterday.
An Ann Arbor supermarket
chain, Busch's Valu Land, has a
similar program using the MedSport
tagging system.
"We've had a tremendous re-
sponse," said Dan Courser, a Busch
vice president. "When we first
started a year ago, it was phenome-
nal. All the holes on the shelves
were the MedSport-recommended
items. It took us weeks to get our in-
ventory adjusted."
Phelan, the Tom's official, said.
most processed foods will be tagged.
The program later will be extended
to the bakery, which will feature
muffins made from ingredients ap-
proved by MedSport.
