Nevada newspaper publisher and Hispanic activist Miguel Sepulveda died Friday following an asthma attack. He was 59. Sepulveda founded northern Nevada's Spanish-language newspaper Ahora in 1983 with his wife, Sheila, and distributed it in Hispanic hangouts across the state. Sepulveda also founded the Northern Nevada Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Reno's Salsa and Latin Jazz Festival and wrote the original grant application for what is today known as Nevada Hispanic Services, a non-profit agency serving northern Nevada's Hispanic community.

The Associated Press apartments and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. However, less than a 2 'year ago many tenants were and feared for their lives hen to the mailbox or taking trash to the dumpster. r'-r Cheryl Wallis, 47, became the site manager a year and a half ago and she, along with the Selmer Police Department, have slowly been changing the reputation of Eaglewood. During her first three months as site manager, 19 evictions were made. Trie Associated Press Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and his bride, NBC corre-spondant Andrea Mitchell, walk down the aisle after their wedding in Little Washington, in this April 1997 file photo.

The first biography of Greenspan will reach shelves in November. Kelli ROSS A room in the office building once designated as the maintenance room has been transformed into the community room. Walls that were once black with grease are now painted and wallpapered. With the help of the police and screening tenants, Wallis has transformed Eaglewood into a peaceful place to live. While walking around the complex and speaking with tenants, Wallis left her car unlocked, something she said she would never have done a year ago.

"This is one job I truly love. To see the difference brings tears to my eyes," she said. "She's a good manager," said Rev. G.R. Damron, 75.

To honor Chief Burks and the Selmer Police Department for their help, Wallis and the tenants of Eaglewood III Apartments celebrated Sept. 9 with a pancake breakfast. A plaque was presented to Burks for the support the department has given to clean up the complex. "Within the last three months the change has been extremely noticeable," Burks said. "The Selmer Police Department has to be praised because I couldn't have done it without them," Wallis said.

As a manager, Wallis makes the effort to have criminal background checks done on anyone interested in renting an apartment. "It takes screening tenants. I have fabulous tenants," she said. "I don't have no problem at all," said Rose McMahan, 44. "I love it over here.

It's a real nice place." Kelli Ross is The Sun's communities reporter. To reach her call (800) 372-3922, ext. 643, or 425-9643. As changes were being made, Wallis had more than one attempt on her life, i "I've had guns pulled on me, people trying to run me over with their cars and my office has been broken into," she said. "When we first started the drugs were plentiful and the alcohol was plentiful," said Neal -Burks, Selmer chief of police.

"They were selling drugs out of I their apartments and on the tailgates of trucks." "It's a whole lot better," said Cathyn Damron, 46. "It used to be 0 scary and dangerous around here." 2 The apartment complex now has 24-hour police protection and a foot patrol with officers walking through the complex each evening. "They stay on top of everything," Wallis said. She decided to accept the taking of changing Eaglewood because, "I care. I lived here and what it was like." CALENDAR.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press WASHINGTON As a young man, decked out in a canary yellow jacket, he blew a mean saxophone in jazz clubs around the country. Now the world knows Alan Greenspan as the ever-serious Federal Reserve chairman who has attained near-cult status for shepherding the U.S. economy through its longest expansion in history. He is often called the second most powerful man in the government The first biography of the 74-year-old chairman traces how Greenspan, raised in poverty by a single mother, transformed himself from nerdy economic thinker to indispensable adviser to five presidents. New York writer Justin Martin said he was driven to write "Greenspan: The Man Behind Money" by the sense that Greenspan has led a fascinating private life.

The book, published by Perseus Publishing, will be out in November. "I just knew there had to be a story there," Martin said. Martin interviewed 250 of Greenspan's friends, from elementary school classmates to Greenspan's ex-wife and his current wife, NBC newswoman Andrea Mitchell. The book is not an authorized biography, but the Federal Reserve said Greenspan and Fed staffers helped Martin check his facts. Greenspan grew up in his grandparent's cramped one-bedroom apartment in New York, where his Rose, had moved after divorcing Greenspan's father, Herbert, when Greenspan was 5.

The precocious Greenspan would sing the Depression-era anthem "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" to get spare change from his uncle and would add up three-digit numbers in his head to impress guests. At 9, Greenspan read "Recovery Ahead," a book his absent father, a sometime economic consultant, had written in praise of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's economic and legends.

Greenspan never finished his dissertation. While Greenspan's marriage to Joan Mitchell, an art history student from Canada, ended after just 10 months, the two remained close.

It was through his ex-wife that Greenspan was drawn into the circle of Ayn Rand, controversial author of "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged." Rand's followers, known as Objectivists, were intense believers in Rand's celebration of rugged individualism and the triumph of capitalism over socialism. Rand at first derided Greenspan as "the undertaker" for his preference for somber suits, but in time he was admitted to her inner circle. While many liberals viewed Objectivists as an odd cult, Greenspan never disavowed his friendship with Rand, explaining that he was grateful to her for opening his eyes to the moral dimension of capitalism.

He enrolled at Juilliard School of Music, aiming for a career as a professional musician. But he grew restless and left school to tour in Henry Jerome's dance band, pulling down $62 a week by playing tenor saxophone, clarinet and flute. "Alan was good, although he wasnt primarily a jazz player," Jerome told Martin.

"I hired him because he was an excellent musician, but I didn't use him as an improviser." Greenspan did the band's books and helped band members with their taxes. He came to recognize that he had too little musical talent and left the band after a year to pursue his other passion, numbers. He earned an undergraduate degree in economics in 1948. It took another 29 years for him to earn a doctorate. New York University awarded it in 1977 based on Greenspan's off-and-on pursuit of the degree and a collection of his writings, including the annual economic report of the president University of Tennessee Martin University Center.
