Trujillo is chief medical officer for the IHS regional office at Portland, Ore.

He is in Rapid City Motorcycle crash under investigation MOORCROFT, Wyo. Investigators say they are uncertain what caused the accident that hospitalized Rapid City chiropractor David Schwietert. Schwietert, 43, was seriously injured when the 1981 Honda motorcycle he was driving collided with a 1992 Ford pickup truck driven by Joe Wenzel of Casper at 1:27 p.m. Saturday on Interstate 90 a mile east of Moorcroft. The collision happened in a portion of the interstate under construction.

A Wyoming Highway Patrol investigator said the pickup driver had slowed the truck in the single open lane to turn into the median to talk with friends. Schwietert's motorcycle fell over behind the truck and slid for more than 100 feet before it flipped and hit the truck's tailgate. Investigators said they were trying to find out what caused the motorcycle to fall. Schwietert was listed in critical but stable condition in a Gillette hospital. He suffered head and internal injuries.

David Schwietert Schwietert's son and a passenger on the motorcycle, suffered minor injuries. Trujillo health and other areas. Trujillo said he never expected to serve in the IHS for 17 years, much less become director. In fact, he didn't expect to become a doctor. "It was almost an accident." He grew up in New Mexico on the Laguna Pueblo Reservation, 50 miles west of Albuquerque.

His parents were elementary school teachers. Books were always in the house, and Trujillo was an avid reader. He got a scholarship to a college preparatory school in Sedona, then earned two bachelor's degrees from the University of New Mexico in political science and biology. Then he earned a master's degree in microbiology. But Trujillo also discovered a love for clinical work.

In 1974, he became the first Indian to graduate from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. After residencies in family practice and internal medicine, he returned to the Laguna Pueblo to practice. And one thing led to another. Now Trujillo is waiting to become the first IHS director ever confirmed by the Senate. Congress recently elevated the position to the level of a presidential appointment.

Trujillo says he will be included in policy-level discussions maybe even with the president and first lady. "That's what they're saying," he said. His one-star sister must be proud. At last, Dr. Michael Trujillo will outrank his older sister.

President Clinton nominated Trujillo for director of the Indian Health Service in August. Trujillo, 49, now holds the rank of captain in the Public Health Service, or the Army equivalent of colonel. His sister, Josephine Waconda, 58, is a nurse and director of the IHS regional office at Albuquerque, N.M. Waconda was the first Indian woman to reach the rank of assistant surgeon general, which entitles her to wear the single star of a brigadier general. If Trujillo is confirmed by the Senate, he will get two stars.

The idea makes him smile. Clinton's choice is significant for South Dakota. Trujillo lived here from 1985 to 1989, when he was chief medical officer at the IHS regional office in Aberdeen. Trujillo helped plan the new hospital at Rosebud, the new clinic at Kyle and the hospital under construction at Pine Ridge. Trujillo knows how hard it is to recruit IHS doctors to South Dakota.

He knows the chronic diseases tribes battle here. He knows the old, crowded Sioux San Hospital in Rapid City. He knows Red Shirt, Red Scaffold and scores of other isolated City street to be named for Mickelson A Rapid City street is being renamed in honor of the late Gov. George Mickelson. Erie Street off South Dakota Highway 41 in east Rapid City will be renamed Mickelson Drive as a tribute to the late governor, who died with seven others in an April 19 airplane crash in Iowa.

Wednesday, the Rapid City Common Council's Legal Finance Committee approved renaming the street connecting Highway 44 East and Viewfield Avenue. The proposal to rename the street initially came from Ken Gifford, director of Western Dakota Technical Institute, which is building a new facility off Erie Street. In a letter suggesting the new name, Gifford said Mickelson helped with legislation that led to the new vo-tech building and championed vocational-technical education in general. "We feel renaming Frie Steet to Mickelson Drive would be a tribute to his tireless commitment to technical education in western South Dakota," Gifford wrote. The proposal will go before the common council Monday evening for final approval.

With council approval, Erie Street could become Mickelson Drive next month. this week for an IHS meeting. Dressed in the gleaming white uniform of the Public Health Service, the soft-spoken Trujillo talked about his new job. He said that under the Clinton health-care plan, the structure of IHS services could change. For example, the Clinton administration guarantees every American a "core group" of health benefits that would apply to Indians.

But the benefits might be delivered differently. For example, a new "IHS-like" agency might take over some functions, Trujillo said. He also said tribes might have more control over individual hospitals. And he expects more cooperation with other agencies, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs. However, Trujillo said he expected the IHS to retain community-based programs in sanitation, community Monday will be the final day the public will be able to comment on the proposed 1994 Rapid City budget.

The $57.8 million budget has sailed through several public hearings without comment. Wednesday's Rapid City Common Council Legal Finance Committee meeting was no exception. The committee unanimously adopted the proposed budget without comment, sending it on to Monday evening's common council meeting. The council will act on the budget and then send it to the Pennington County auditor's office to set the mill levy, based on the amount of property taxes needed. Preparation is the reason the city budget is breezing through the legal hearings.

City department heads began preparing budget requests in June, and the council worked on the requested budgets throughout the summer. The 1994 city budget calls for the first property tax increase in six years. The city's portion of your overall property tax bill composed basically of city, county and school district taxes will increase 13 percent. The increase amounts to 44 cents for each $1,000 of your property's valuation, or a total of $26.40 for a $60,000 home. Pennington County raised its portion of property taxes only slightly, but the Rapid City Area School District is seeking a 10.5 percent increase in its 1994 budget.

This will add another $2 to your tax bill for every $1,000 of your property's valuation. Combined, tax bills from all three local government bodies will cost the owner of a $60,000 home in Rapid City about $1,916 in taxes next year. The same home outside the city but within the school district will cost $1,692 in property taxes. Of the city's $57.7 million budget, $5.18 million will come from property taxes, 9 percent of the total budget. The city's 2-cent sales tax will pay for slightly more than 30 percent of the budget, or $17.4 million.

Officials say the city's dwindling spare cash makes the property tax Judge denies Spivey case motion By Kobi Ebert Journal Staff Writer Sen. Pressler to visit Hills Sen. Larry Pressler will be in the Black Hills this weekend. The South Dakota Republican will be at Black Hills Staple and Spice Market, 601 Mount Rushmore Road, al 2:15 p.m. Friday to discuss proposed changes in food labeling requirements.

At 3 p.m., Pressler and Gov. Walter Dale Miller will meet with state rail shippers at the South Dakota Cement Plant. Saturday, Pressler will run in the Spearfish Mayor's Cup 10-K Road Race through Spearfish Canyon followed by lunch at 12:30 p.m. with Deadwood and Lead business leaders at the Franklin Hotel in Deadwood.

Police testified Wednesday that on June 19 they spotted Spivey's vehicle four or five blocks away from where the shooting took place. Patrolman Kevin Miller said he followed the car a short distance before Spivey pulled over on his own accord police did not use lights or sirens to stop him. Miller said Spivey got out with his hands raised and, after Miller pat-searched Spivey, he questioned him about the shooting. Spivey told him he was out doing laundry with his wife and child. The officer asked to search the car, and Spivey consented.

While Miller searched the car, a Division of Criminal Investigation agent spoke with Spivey's wife. DCI Agent Chad Evans said Spivey told him where the handgun was. Police found it under the passenger seat. Ellison asked the court to suppress the evidence found in the vehicle. He argued that police obtained the handgun illegally because they did not advise his client of his right to refuse the search.

Seventh Circuit Judge John Ko-nenkamp denied the motion. He said that because Spivey stopped the car on his own, consented to the search and told police the whereabouts of the weapon voluntarily, it was a legal search and seizure. Konenkamp also denied a motion to submit a questionnaire to potential jurors. Ellison requested the survey because of news reports of the case, which he said might have hurt Spivey's chances for a fair trial. The judge agreed there was some publicity in the case, but not enough to warrant the questionnaire.

Konenkamp granted defense motions for a psychological examination of Spivey and for witness statemen's. I The handgun found in the car of a man accused of attempted murder will remain a key element in the case. During a motion hearing Wednesday, Glenn Spivey defense attorney, Bruce Ellison, moved to withhold the weapon as evidence at Spivey's upcoming trial. He argued that police did not legally obtain the gun. Spivey is accused of using the handgun on June 19 to shoot and wound Thomas LaFramboise, 18, Rapid City.

According to earlier court hearings, Spivey and LaFramboise argued over their friendship. The argument escalated from throwing Gummi Bears candy to the alleged shooting. Spivey is charged with attempted murder increase necessary. During the 1989-90 statewide property tax freeze, cities could transfer certain sales taxes to their general funds to offset the frozen taxes. Normally, property taxes would increase to cover budget needs.

During the early 1990s, Rapid City took anywhere from $1 million to $1.5 million of its reserve funds to pay for general expenses. But next year, there is no more spare cash to supplement the budget, forcing the increase in property taxes, city officials say..
