Casper Star-Tribune from Casper, Wyoming • 19

Thursday, July 16, 1987 Star-Tribune, Casper, Wyo B5 Wfwuw iawwgti Reservation economies high on SBA's priority list Attempted murder BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) -Developing the economies of Indian reservations is a priority of the Small Business, Administration, the agency's regional administrator told the Indian Affiars Commission. "We're sitting on a gold mine of opportunity," Gil Cisneros of Denver told the commission Tuesday. Cisneros oversees the federal agency's operations in Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Colorado and Utah. "We think the answer lies in the cooperation bewteen public and private sectors," he said.

Businesses want to help Indians create jobs, and SBA can be the catalyst for bringing the right parties together to spur economic development, he said. The work Indians can do must be matched with the needs of the private sector, he said. Cisneros urged tribal leaders at the commission meeting Tuesday to attend a conference in Denver later this month that will bring together tribes, industry and the government to work on creating jobs for Indians. He also invited North Dakota Lt. Gov.

Lloyd Omdahl to attend. And when Omdahl suggested a similar meeting for North Dakota, Cisneros pledged to give any help he and his agency could provide. Omdahl, who chaired Tuesday's meeting for Gov. George Sinner, said there was a need to get all the right people together to help North Dakota tribes create jobs. That sentiment was expressed earlier in the meeting by Richard LaFromboise, chairman of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Tribe.

As the meeting was getting started, LaFromboise went off the subject to complain that the commission spent too much time talking about social problems on the "We should really get down to some brass tacks on this commission," said LaFromboise, noting it was the only forum where both Indian and state leaders meet. Problems such as alcoholism "are just symptoms" of the larger problem of unemployment and the need for economic development on the reservations, he said. "Our young people, whether they're Indian or non-Indian, are looking at someplace else to create their dream," LaFromboise said. He said he believed something would come of Omdahl's suggestion for a state economic development meeting and Cisneros' pledge of SBA help. The fact that Cisneros attended the meeting and brought along his assistant for minority small business, the SBA district director for North Dakota and the district assistant for minority business shows the agency's commitment, LaFromboise said.

CHEYENNE (AP) The new principal of Seton Catholic High School here says committees are working to ensure the school's financial stability, but that it needs to recruit more students and increase its visibility. The school needs to "communicate to the community just how fine a program academically, athletically and even spiritually we have here," said Deacon John Aliosio. "Seton needs to be very visibly a Catholic school, and also continue to be a fine school academically." Aliosio worked in the Campbell County School District for 10 years, the past seven as an elementary and middle school pincipal.

He began work at the state's only Catholic high school July 1. Officials had 'announced last year that the school would close at the end of the past school year if at least $100,000 wasn't pledged to ensure it would remain open. "It required tremendous dedication and tremendous commitment of the community to make that happen. They made it happen," Aliosio said. He said parents and concerned residents will work to ensure adequate funding and his 21 years of experience in public schools has given him a "working awareness" of state and federal grants that could help ease the financial crunch.

"Hopefully, between the committees and my knowledge, we will see a real growth in the school in District, which covers Laramie County. Kalokathis, 48, succeeds retiring judge Joseph F. Maier. Kalokathis is a Cheyenne native and University of Wyoming Law School graduate. He was Gov.

Mike Sullivan's first judicial appointment since taking office in January. Work beginning on NWCC music chimes POWELL Work is expected to begin this month on Northwest Community College's carillon, or hourly chime, a $30,000 privately funded structure built as a tribute to the college president's mother and others. President Sinclair Orendorff has helped raise about half of the money needed for the carillon, according to college spokesman Mark Kitchen. Work on the masonry structure is to begin next week by Thomas Carpentry of Cody, which at $22,531 was low bidder of three firms vying for the job. In addition to masonry work, a $7,500 sound system will be installed in the tower, Kitchen said.

He said Orendorff began fund-raising for the project about a year ago. The carillon is expected to be in use sometime this fall. Park County Library cutbacks protested CODY Park County commissioners recently received a petition signed by 20 library patrons who object to budget cuts which have forced reductions in library services and open hours. A public hearing to finalize Park County's 1987-88 $8.6 million budget is scheduled for 8 p.m. Monday, July 20 at the courthouse.

Park County Library Director Charlene Stearns recently predicted a "drastic effect on library services" due to a $185,353 reduction in the library budget. She said layoffs, reduced hours, increased book fines, and establishment of other fees will be implemented in order to maintain the library. Park County Library made an initial budget request of $580,675, which commissioners reduced to $397,322, Stearns said. Cheyenne officials OK joint powers board CHEYENNE (AP) Cheyenne city officials have approved an agreement setting up a joint powers board to administer revenue from Laramie County's new lodging tax. Income from the tax will be used to promote tourism in the county.

Councilman Robert Storey said Monday that Cheyenne will contribute more than 98 percent of the county's revenue from the tax. Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President Gary Plummer told the council that the tax could generate as much as $200,000 for the county. He said a staff payroll would take about a quarter of the collected revenue. conviction upheld CHEYENNE The Wyoming Supreme Court Tuesday upheld the conviction of Alonzo Jimmy Ramirez in an appeal of his conviction for attempted second-degree murder. Ramirez had been found guilty of attempting to kill his girlfriend with an ice pick in August 1985 and was sentenced to 20 to 30 years in the state penitentiary.

He had argued that the trial court erred in not instructing the jury that it could find he had abandoned the crime. The Supreme Court rejected that and other arguments. The Star-Tribune incorrectly stated in a headline Wednesday that Ramirez had been convicted of murder, rather than of attempted second-degree murder. Campbell assessor objects to new values GILLETTE (AP) Campbell County officials say the mass reappraisal of Wyoming property has overvalued land in some cases and has undervalued most of the homes in the county. County Assessor Jerry Shatzer said Tuesday that from what he has seen, the reappraisal being conducted by The Ebert Corp.

has listed lot values as being well above where they should be in several Campbell County subdivisions. Shatzer also said home appraisals appear to be low, and that could force "lower income families, who have the less-expensive homes, to pay more than their fair share of taxes." The Ebert Corp. took over the mass reappraisal of Wyoming property April 15 after Professional Appraisal Co. defaulted on its contract with the state. Official: Panic over pit bulls not needed CHEYENNE (AP) Cheyenne residents are panicking unnecessarily over recent reports of attacks by pit bull terriers and are abandoning the dogs at the city animal shelter, according to shelter administrator Brian Cronen.

Cronen said that during the last few weeks about four pit bull terriers have been put to sleep because of bite or scratch reports. He said they were part of a group of some 10 dogs that have been left at the shelter in what he believes are sometimes needless fears about the animals' disposition. During their stay at the shelter the dogs have not bothered anyone, Cronen added. However he said some pit bull owners have been threatened with eviction from their homes if the animal is not removed. Cheyenne man sworn in as new judge CHEYENNE (AP) Cheyenne attorney Nicholas G.
