One of those prerogatives is the role granted to states by Article of the U.S. Constitution in the "fundamentally significant and sensitive political process" of unending the Constitution, the release said.

THE IDAHO COURT said Congress had no right to extend the ratification peiioci irurn March 'H, 1979, to June 30, 1982, and said the federal government had to honor states' decisions to rescind ratification.

ED HERSCHLER Joins 19 other governors Star Valley Cheese Co. factory reopened By BONNY KIER Special to the Star-Tribune LANDER The Lander City Council Tuesday accepted a master plan to be used as a guideline for the planning and development of all city parks.

Tim Wells, parks and recreation director, said not everything in the plan prepared by Joseph Racine of Gillette would apply to Lander, but it would give the city direction in park planning. At the council's meeting Tuesday night, Wells was questioned about money appropriated by the council two years ago for tennis courts at Northside Park, which have never been built. He said the project had been put up for bid twice, but the bids came in too high and the money had since been used for other park Improvements. Wells said money has been budgeted for building a basketball and volleyball courts and a picnic shelter at Northside, and a sprinkler system has already been installed there. He said an assistant is now in Colorado purchasing $10,000 worth of trees designated for Northside.

The city has obtained land adjacent to the park, which crosses Baldwin Creek, that will be added to Northside. The original park is on land leased from Lander School District No. 1. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the council approved the transfer of $4,000 to the court budget and $10,000 to the city attorney's budget to meet a shortage in those departments. The money was taken from carry-over funds from the police department salary budget, according to Mayor Delbert McOmie.

McOmie said the shortage was caused by the tougher stance taken by new Municipal Court Judge Rob Denhardt, who has been giving out jail terms for a number of crimes. This and the higher fines the city has established for misdemeanors has caused many people to plead innocent and seek atrial. Since the city must furnish indigents with a lawyer, this means the city must hire a lawyer for the defense and prosecution, council members said. Also, a petition was presented to the council which questioned the funding methods for a new city hall and requesting that Lander citizens be allowed to vote on the controversial city hall project. Council members said the method of going through a joint-powers board with Riverton was legal, and they saw no point in bringing the matter to a vote since that vote would have no legal bearing and would be expensive.

Superintendent likes special session TORRINGTON (UPI) The Goshen County school superintendent says the county's legislators are receptive to the idea of a special session of the Legislature to discuss the effect on education of an expected shortfall In mineral royalties. Ron Schliske said the Goshen County district faces the loss of a large portion of its supplemental aid and some of its school foundation fund program payments if the $19. 1 million shortfall in the state's share of federal mineral royalties materializes. The state's top elected officials reported this week that Interior Department figures indicate the state will receive $19.1 million less in federal royalties during fiscal 1982, than had been predicted earlier.

Schliske said the legislators told him they need about a week to consider the effect of the lost funds and how they might be reinstated for school districts before they could determine whether they' would advocate a special legislative session. Officials have estimated the shortfall would mean a reduction of over $7.1 million in funds for the Wyoming School Foundation Fund used to equalize school funding in the state.
