"It's similar to the Gary Gilmore murders," said Capt. Max Littefield. "And it's just a sad coincidence that it happened at a time the movie about Gary Gilmore is being advertised on television." Dan Allen Okelberry, 29, of Provo, was shot once in the head and robbed of two money bags as he left the Storehouse Market in Provo where he was a night clerk.

Okelberry was the father of two boys, ages 5 and ,3, and his widow is expecting another child in a few weeks. A $10,000 reward was offered Monday for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the Okelberry's murderer, and a trust fund was been set up to aid his widow and children. Provo Police Chief Swen Nielsen said the reward will be paid for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the slaying, and donations can be sent to The Reward Fund, P.O.

miles MURRAY, Utah (UPI) The acting head of the Utah Education Association says proposed cutbacks in teacher salaries could hurt plans to upgrade public education programs statewide and attract and keep educators. UEA acting executive director Don Ulmer said Monday Gov. Scott Matheson's "discouraging words" about 1983-84 school year funding "casts serious questions about the state's future." Ulmer said, when Matheson "raised the possibility of no cost-of-living increases for teachers next CHEYENNE, Wyo. (UPI) Wyoming officials and citizens said placing the MX missile in Wyoming will bring jobs, but opponents vowed they would continue to fight the $26 billion project. Dean Borthwick, a Cheyenne attorney and chairman of F.E.

Warren Air Force Base's Citizen's Advisory Council, said Monday the MX "can have a good economic effect" on Cheyenne, and said he believed it would cause "sound growth." Borthwick noted that Warren poured an estimated $86 million into the Cheyenne economy last year, and said the "most important thing" about the President Reagan's decision to base the MX at Warren is that "the MX assures Warren a mission for the minimum of another 20 years." "It's going to promote jobs for Wyoming," Cheyenne bankteller Judy Wallis said. Opponents of the MX, however, vowed to continue their fight to halt the missile. "I think its unfortunate that they are going to bring a missile like that to our home," Bishop Joseph Hart, head of the Diocese of Cheyenne, adding he would lobby Wyoming's congressional delegation to oppose the MX. 1 "We will join every organization and individual we can to stop deployment and construction of the Michael Durgain, of the Wyoming Citizens Alliance, said. "If it comes to it many of us are ready to cofmmit non-violent civil disobedience.

But I think Congress and the American people will put an end to this insanity before it comes to that." But Cheyenne radio station owner Tom Bauman, who campaigned to bring the MX to southeastern Wyoming, said opposition to the MX has been "blown out of proportion." "We have had the Minuteman in our backyards here in the Cheyenne area for over 25 years," Cheyenne Mayor Don Erickson said. "We're prepared to live with nuclear power around us." U.S. Air Force spokesman Lt. Col. Tom Holycross said F.E.

Warren Air Force Base was finally selected as the site the MX because of that base's 25-year experience with intercontinental ballistic missiles. Holycross said five sites in the Western U.S. were finally selected which had the right geotechnical capabilities over a large enough area 20 square miles to accomodate the MX and which was near a current military installation. But Holycross said the administration believed the staff at Warren, site of the nation's first ICBM when Atlas missiles were installed there in 1957, "already know and understand how an ICBM works." Col. Martin Burdick, commander of the 90th Strategic Missile Wing at Warren, said he was "very pleased" Warren and the 90th Stategic Missile were chosen as the host for the initial deployment of the MX.

Holycross said construction of the MX could begin in April 1984 and would require an average of 3,500 construction workers per year over a six-year period. During the construction process, the project would need approximately 7,000 acre-feet of water per year, and after construction would require 2,500 acre-feet per year during its operation, Holy-cross said, adding that those estimates were "somewhat on the high side." The area deemed suitable to base the MX is a 70-mile stretch that runs from Albin, west to Iron Mountain, an area 25 miles northeast of Cheyenne, Holycross said. Wyoming Stock Growers executive vice president Dean Prosser said he expected area ranchers to be generally supportive of the basing site because it would do less "environmental damage" than it would to better farmland east of the proposed site. The windy, high plains rangeland is dotted with tiny towns and large ranches. Albin, with a population of 128, is the largest town in the proposed MX area.

Area rancher Paul Etchepare, who holdings north of Cheyenne are under consideration as a basing site, said he believed in a strong defense and supported the president's announcement. He said he had Atlas missiles on his ranch and now has Minuteman silos and has been pleased with his dealings with the Air Force. arrangement in Wyoming. The President said the MX field will be set up near Warren Air Force Base near Cheyenne. UPI WASHINGTON President Reagan called on Congress Monday to approve a $26 billion plan to deploy the new MX missile renamed the "Peacekeeper" in a controversial "Dense Pack" year, it could hurt or wreck efforts to meet coming requirements oi state colleges.

"That's fine," Ulmer said, "but there's a big problem. We have a nationwide shortage of teach ers in some of those subjects. On top of that, fewer and fewer college students are preparing to become teachers." He said one reason for the declining number of new teachers "is the pay."

Govs demand a voice lizing and unnecessary." She said many defense experts oppose the dense pack basing mode, and it makes no more sense than any of the over 30 basing modes considered and rejected. Tom Wolf, executive director of the Wyoming Outdoor Council, another group oppoed to the MX, said the members are disappointed Wyoming was chosen for the MX. "But we plan to do a thorough job of seeing that the state, county and local governments have a say in the mitigation effort," Wolf said. "Our immediate goal is to get the Legislature to expand the (Wyoming Industrial) Siting Council's jurisdiction so it can oversee the mitigation. We are asking the Laramie County representatives to unite behind the siting council as the body to issue all the permits." Sister Frances Russell, a Catholic nun who coordinates the Tri-State MX Coaliition from Cheyenne, said she believes the proposal can be defeated in Congress.

"I don't think it's too late," she said. "I think we will have public hearings. I feel we can now1 deal with reality, and I think when the Wyoming people know what we are dealing with, then we will say 'no." Sister Russell attributed the decision to base the system in Wyoming to a lack of leadership in the state's congressional delegation. She said the congressmen in neighboring states have asked questions about the system and led the opposition to it based on what they found out. "I think our congressional delegation has been allied with the Reagan administration's policy of going through with this system.

That's why it's coming to Wyoming," said Sister Russell. "Our representatives have not represented the people." But she said she is relieved the decision is out. "I think now that the decision is out we'll have more information about it. People are aroused. I think this is a good sign.

I feel I've been a voice in the wilderness." CHEYENNE, Wyo. (UPI) Opponents of the MX missile in Wyoming have vowed to continue their opposition to the $26 billion weapons project, despite President Reagan's recommendation the missile be based near "Oh, absolutely," Tri-State MX Coalition spokesman Mark Bonkiewicz replied when asked if he thought Reagan's proposal could be defeated in Congress. "We get more and more assurances of that everyday." The coalition has about 300 members in southeastern Wyoming, western Nebraska and northeastern Colorado. A spokesman for the Wyoming Citizen's Alliance said the group will do "everything in its power" to prevent the MX from being based in the state. "We will join with every organization and individual we can to stop deployment and construction of the MX," said Michael Durgain, after the Air Force and Defense Department announced Reagan's basing recommendation Monday.

"If it comes to it, many of us are ready to commit non-violent civil dis-obediance. But I think Congress and the American people will put an end to this insanity before it comes to that. Bishop Joseph Hart, bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese that includes all of Wyoming, also vowed the fight against the missile system is not over. "I certainly will be sure that my representatives -there (in Congress) know my feelings, and I will encourage people to do the same," Hart said following the announcement. "I think it's unfortunate that they are going to bring a missile like that to our home.

It's unfortunate that they're going to do it any place, and it's especially unfortunate that they're going to bring it to our home." A spokesman for the Wyoming Nuclear Freeze Coalition said the decision to recommend the dense pack basing will be an expensive mistake. Kathy Flaccus said the dense pack basing is an concept that cannot be tested, will contribute nothing to national defense and will be "costly, destabi Holiday cheese of fered DENVER (UPI) Western state governors, who demanded more of a voice in federal coal leasing policies, convinced Interior Secretary James Watt Monday during a 2'-hour meeting to make more than a dozen regula tion changes. Although Watt said most of the proposals were merelv clarifiratinne re SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) More than 1,000 people gathered at the state unemployment office Monday to get free cheese and butter for Thanksgiving. The giveaway was sponsored by the Crossroads Urban Center. Given away was almost pounds of chesse and a ton of butter, provided through U.S.

Department of Agriculture surplus. The food was given away in two hours, despite a lack of advance publicity. Saying cheese and butter won't make a Thanksgiving dinner, Crossroads Director Jeff Fox said the center will also offer groceries through its food pantry program. To receive the food, people must be either physically handicapped, senior citizens or parents with minor children at home. I that are critical to us in our states and resolve them in an amicable way as we did today, that is achieving something that doesn't often occur." During the meeting, held in the offices of Colorado Gov.

Richard Lamm, virtually every demand made by the Western state governors was accepted. Watt downplayed the magnitude of the changes, despite claims by the governors that they were significant. "I'm here to make this thing work," Watt told the governors and representatives from seven states. "I've done my homework. There is no need in just squealing about things and not addressing them.

I'm here to address your problems." peated what already was in the proposed regulations, governors and representatives from seven states were elated with the outcome. "This is more than an unusual nwwt. ins." said Utah Gov. Scott Mathpsnn after the session. "I would say it's a his toric one.
