WASHINGTON — Attor
neys argued Monday over
whether handicapped educa
tion laws require Texas school
districts to provide catheteriza
tion to an 8-year-old girl, whose
reaction to the solemn Supreme
Court proceedings was “bleah.”
The arguments before the
high court were just the latest
step in a legal battle more than
half as old as Amber Tatro, a
spina bifida victim currently at
tending second grade in the
Dallas suburb of Irving under a
court order.
The case centers on whether
under the 1975 Education for
All Handicapped Children Act,
school employees must perform
clean intermittent catheteriza
tion to empty Amber’s bladder
every three to four hours as
part of mandated “supportive
services” or whether the proce
dure falls under the “medical
treatment” category requiring
trained health workers.
“It is a question of access to
public education,” attorney
James Todd told the justices,
“of whether an 8-year-old girl
of normal intelligence and ca
pable of doing regular school
work is able to attend public

KERRVILLE — A state
judge Monday appointed attor
neys for two men charged with
killing a drifter and cremating
his body on a Kerr County
ranch.
Stale Judge V. Murray Jor
dan appointed Steve Abies to
represent Darryl Hunsaker, 21,
formerly of Wichita Falls; and
Bob Denson to represent Mark
Hamilton, 22, of Los Angeles.
Both attorneys are from Ker-
rville.
A third defendant, Carlton
Cardwell, 19, of Taos, N.M.,
told Jordan he would acquire
his own attorney, and the judge
assigned him a May 4 deadline.
Cardwell, described as a For
man at the ranch, is being held
in lieu of a $100,000 bond,
while Hunsaker and Hamilton
are being held on $50,000
bonds.
The three men, along with
three members of a Kerr
County ranch family, are
charged with murder in the
March 13 death of Anthony
Bates, a drifter from Huntsville,
Ala.
According to sworn deposi
tions, Bates was tortured to
death with a cattle prod and his
body cremated. Tests con
ducted by the Department of
Public Safety in Austin deter
mined that charred bone frag
ments found at the ranch were
of human origin.
Ranch owners Walter Wesley
Ellebracht Sr., 53; his son, Wal
ter Wesley Jr., 31; and daugh
ter-in-law, Joyce, 29, are
charged with murder and ag
gravated kidnapping. They are
being held in the Kerr County
Jail on $200,000 bonds.

handicapped peers with a safe,
simple, quick, inexpensive serv
ice.”
But attorney Janies Deathe-
rage, representing the Irving
Independent School District,
disagreed.
“I don’t find under the law
any authority of guaranteed ac
cess to any particular, specific
class, program or activity,” he
said, “but access to special edu
cation and appropriate educa
tion.
“Congress recognized that
not all children are going to be
able to safely educated in the
least restrictive environment,”
he said. “It recognized the
health and safety conditions of
the child.”
The five-year battle of Henri
and Mary Tatro to force the
school district to provide cathe
terization — which involves in
serting a steel tube into Amber’s
bladder to remove urine she
cannot pass — is supported by
nearly 30 groups ranging from
the Easter Seal Society to the
American Civil Liberties Union.
They say the 1975 law was
enacted to prevent exclusion
and stigmatizing treatment of
handicapped children like Am-

The Tatros say Amber soon
may be able to perform cathete
rization herself.
But groups like the National
School Boards Association say if
the high court agrees with Am
ber’s parents, it will put school
districts in the business of pro
viding medical services they
have neither the training nor fi
nancial ability to provide, mak
ing them vulnerable to lawsuits
if the procedure is done wrong.
Amber, her legs encased in
braces and her hair in pigtails,
was clearly bored by the hour-
long court proceedings.
“Bleah,” she said when asked
her reaction. She shook her
head no when asked if she
wasn’t a little thrilled about be
ing in the nation’s capital and
the Supreme Court.
“She wants to go back to
Texas,” said Tatro. “She won’t
realize the importance of it uni
she’s grown up. ^

‘‘I hadn’t been nervot

the justices asked the right que:
lions.
“What wasn’t pointed out w;
they didn’t offer her an altern;

husband did not attend becaus
“he gets too upset.”
