Casper Star-Tribunt Thursday, Jan. 6, 1972 13 City asked to sponsor senior citizens' plan Ten- 4-H entries to Denver show 'V fc lf I NEWCASTLE Mayor Don McColley eld the Newcastle city council have taken under advisement the proposal of the senior citizens group that the council" become its sponsoring agency. It was noted that if the Newcastle city government agrees to sponsor an aging program it will be the first to do so In the state of Wyoming. Calvin Ackley, chairman of the senior citizens group, explained to the dty council that a sponsoring agency is needed because someone must handle the bookkeeping and other business if the group is to obtain government funds under Title in. Title ffl was the funding act passed In 1969 which supported the.

Older Americans Act passed in 1964. Mrs. Harvev Gonde of the Weston County Public Assistance and Social Services office noted that approximately $5,000 In federal funds is available for the Newcastle community. Community projects funded, in part, by federal grants are operating in Laramie, Casper, Cheyenne, Saratoga-' Encampment, Sheridan, Rock Springs, and Green River. If the Newcastle senior citizens group can find a sponsoring agency, It plans to develop a senior citizens' center.

The federal government will provide 75 per cent of the cost of approved senior citizens' projects the first year. By the fourth year of operation the project should be self supporting. Mrs. Goode further explained that the community's share does not have to be cash but may include the value of donated resources such as furniture, arts and crafts supplies, bookkeeping, and volunteer work, except that done by federal employes. Mayor Don McColley expressed concern that after the federal assistance is finished, the dty would be responsible for financing the project and there would be an added tax load.

McColley defined federal assistance programs as "a bargain if you (the dty) have the money, but not If you don't have the money." Richard Bratton, manager of the Black Hills Power and Light Company Newcastle office and a former mayor of Custer, S.D., told of the Custer senior dtizens' center which Is now self supporting. "If you want to feel good about something you want to see people who were alone come to life with something like this," Bratton commented. It was also noted that the agreement between the senior dtizens' group and the dty of Newcastle could be written in such a way that the dty would not be financially responsible for the center upon the completion of federal assistance which would be after the third year." Ackley added, "We are not asking the dty to sponsor our group flnandally but rather to provide the bookkeeper." The council dedded to set a date at which time Mrs. Dorothy Fleisher and James Hammer, both aging specialists from the Wyoming Dept. of Health and Social Services, can meet with the dty fathers.

mmmmsmmsssiismmt Storm stalls DUBOIS Monday's storm was even rough for the snowplows in the Dubois area.

31, 1972. General Mills Will Honor Its Coupons MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) A General Mills Food Co. spokesman said Tuesday 800.000 Betty Crocker coupons collected throughout Wyoming to place a dialysis kidney machine In the Rawlins hospital win be honored. Glenn Gaff, company director of pubUdty and special events, said "There is no reason to worry out there. The coupons win certainly be honored and go against the state's drive."

Signs were posted on each parking meter, advising that "Passenger Cars Only" could park there. A passenger car was defined as a vehicle with two seats, one behind the other. Pickup owners (those without campers mounted) let out a cry that their vehicles were being discriminated against.

The parking meter signs those which hadn't been removed by persons unknown were taken off the poles. A committee was named to study the problem. Cody's main street, laid out by William F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody to be wide enough to enable a twenty-horse team to turn around, has four-lane traffic and angle parking. The problem is that a driver whose vision is blocked by a huge camper or van, begins to ease backward into the traffic flow.

Chief of Police Al Vanderpool has said that this type of aeddent is the most prevelant in that dty. Another suggestion made by the special committee is that the two-hour parking limit be enforced in the downtown area. Looking further ahead, the group also suggested that the dty begin to acquire land fx off-street parking with an eye toward changing to parallel parking along Sheridan Avenue.
