PETITION: Documents seek grand jury investigation of hospital contract Continued from p<tge IA

The signers of the petition state- they believe the actions of tlw county commission and the hospital board violate specific language in state statutes that st•t forth competitive bidding procedures.

In late October when the petition first appeared, Reynal­do Valcarcel, a Glencoe resident who advocates competitive bid­ding for hospital managPmeht, said it was the culmination of many county actions and inac­tions. But specifically, the peti­tion was sparked by the resis­tance of the commission to com­ply with an attonlE'y general's opinion on existing law, he said.

Instead of trying to comply with the opinion, the majority on-the county commission fight it and try to get around the re­quirenwnts, he said. Those re­quirements include receiving fair market value for use of the connty-ownt'd Lincoln County ME>dkal Center, obtaining com­petitive management offers and submitting the management contract for approval to the state Board of Finance, based on advisory letters from attar-

ney general's office. "There have been people

concerned about signing the pe­tition even though they agreed with what it said, because they were concerned about personal repercussions,"' said Valcarcel, who took the petition to Proctor for signature verification. "But since the article on the (special property tax levy for to benefit the hospital and cou.nty health clinics) that indicated people may see what they pay increase by 30 percent, we've gotten a lot more response. People have signed with an anger. Nothing could have done more to galva­nized public opinion.

«J was concerned before the election that we didn't see that. I want peqple to learn and to get involved and not just let things happen to them."

Although the petition will be filed in Parson's jurisdiction, the judge may be asked to re­cuse herself from the proceed­ings, he said. Parsons is mar­ried to• the son of State Rep. Dub Williams. The Republican representative from Glencoe formerly served as chairman of the l:.incoln County Medical Center hospital board and is on Presbyterian's state board, Val-

carcel said. Dr. Walter "Ray" Seidel, an

outspoken critic of the long­term lease arrangement be-· tween the county and Presby­terian, said the petition may "throw a wrench" in the plan to introduce a bill during the Jan­uary to February session of the state Legislature If passed, the law would exempt counties from a state procurement code requirement to seek competi­tive bids for hospital manage­ment.

"That bill is being fostered by a hospital association that represents Presbyterian and other groups in the state," Sei­del said.

Officials from Presbyterian contend the company's oontract with the county is legal and binding. The proposed exemp­

. tion would clarify possibly con­flicting state laws, they say.

When commissioners found out about the petition, Chair: man Rex Wilson said while he hoped nothing irregular would be fonnd, but if something is wrong, the commission and public need to know about it.

Commissioner Leo Mar­tinez, who has urged the board to seek competitive bids for

management and placed ·the item on the agenda for Thurs­day's meeting, said he was en­couraged to see people con­cerned enough to become in­volved.

The commiSsioner said his primary emphasis is to protect coWlty taxpayers and to ensure they are getting the best deal.

.. And that usually means going out for competitive bids," he said. "That will ensure the best deal out there. The county cormnission has yet to promote even discussions with other non-profit corporations, not for the selling of the hospital, but for the leasing of it.

"We have a beautiful facili­ty here bringing the county $1 a year for the last 20 years."

,Martinez said he's aware that hm;;pital employees are worried about being uprooted .if another company took over management.

"In any (request for propos"' als), my first consideration would be to protect their rights and benefits," he said. "Preeby .. terian says the health clinics are losing money, so that's a reason to see if maybe some other entity could make money without taxpayer support ...

Herrera testified he knew of voters who were told to vote for a specific candidate who 'vould tc>rminate the fire chief.

Hc>rrera was placed on paid )pavP at the beginning of May, two months after a new admin· istmtion was seatl'd. On Au­gust 28, at the rPcomnwnda­tion of Mayor Bob MiliPr, the village council fired IIPrrl:!ra ..

Herrera said the former village clerk filled out the vouchers.

"1 signed it," Herrera said. "Is it accurate?" Bryant

questioned.' "I don't know," Herrera re­

sponded. "Is this the way it look

when you signed it?" Bryant questioned, holding up a requi­sition from February-March 1999.

Herrera responded affirma­tively.

The fire chief said he in­cluded himself on vouchers for some of the payments to volun­teers because he was told by a now fonuer village official that outside his 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. work shift he was a volunteer. Herrera said that meant in· eluding his namt> and the name of the department's other for­nwr full-time employee on a stntP retiremPnt fund report, which also raised a flag during the audit.

Bryant probed Herrera whPther some fir£> response re­ports were padded to increase monthly chPcks to pay the vol­unteers. Herrera said not all fire department responses agreed with Ruidoso Downs po-

lice dispatch center records. He said sometimes other agencies would contact the fire depart­ment directly or someone would come to the fire depart­ment building to report a fire or accident.

Bryant s~,tid the village council had approved a $20 payment per volunteer when responding to a structure fire or injury accident.

"Does it say anything about $5 per meeting?'' Bryant ques­tioned.

"No it doesn't," Herrera said, reading from the village connell resolution. "My super­

.,"Vi.SQr.nctvet aai.tll;O.ktop doing it. And the (village) trustees ap­proved it each month."

The village attorney ques­tioned Herrera on the fire de­partment bank account that used the village's federal ID number. Herrera said the vol­unteers, not him, had control of the account. A Feb. 1, 2000 check written by the village to pay volunteers totaled $10,280. Only $480 of the check was de­posited in the fire department account. The r-emainder, Her­rera confirmed, was taken in cash and divided among the de-

partment members. Herrera said the large payment was in part for New Yeai's Eve, when former mayor Joe Hayhurst vowed all village crews would work the Y2K concern period.

"We had a very busy night," Herrera said. "You name it we had it. Everything but a struc­ture fire."

Herrera said he did not know how the $10,280 figure was arrived at for the January 2000 payment, adding he was not the one who filled out the payment requisition form.

Herrera's testimony took much of the first day of the hearing., Willoughby, who 'Was questioned for a half-hour, will continue on February 19. Sev­eral other witnesses, current and former village officials, are also scheduled to be sworn in Feb. 19- 20. HeiTera's attorney said the extended hearing is part of Bryant's effort to taint the appeal.

'"This is their rodeo," Beau­vais told the hearing officer. "They recognized this for a one day hearing. He says he won't finish direct examination in one day. H'e's attempting to in­terfere with the process."'

OUR OPINION

Convention Center fees and dimpled chads

I Having 00111e off weeks of observing intelligent people

trying to count dimpled chads in Florida - it:s the "intent of the voter," stupid - we shouldn't be surprised that the Ruidoso Vtllage Council has opted for a dimpled chad loophole in establishing new rates f~t use of the mUnicipal Convention Center.

It appears there are rates for locals, for established· events, for sanctioned events. Then there are negotiated· rates -the ·Ones you dangle out there .to get new busi­ness, like dickering to buy a pickup truck at a used-car lot, only .more so.

Apparently that's the way the business <;tf attracting conventions works; you· do whatever it takes to get them here, then try to make up for that loss-leader through increased gross receipts ta,ces. .

It may be common practice in the hospitality industry, this business of rubber-band rates, but it would be well if· somebody were assigned to make sure that the intent of the taxpayers is divined, too. After all, they own the joint.

'i:b the editor: . ·erty coupled with the sunrises anfi sun.- . No permane1.1ce in democracy sets reaffirmS, on a t;laily basis, we -made the correct decision moving here. 'lb the editor: .

Demoifracy cannot exist as a permanent. fonn of govemment. It .can on.ly exist. rmtil. the voters discover that they can vote them­selves money from the public .treasury.

I li-ave heard arguments in ra:vor of this contradiction to democracy that. we call The College of Electors.

But all that "feel good'" stuff took a Sharp turn the other day when a n~ighbor informed us of a golf course be-ing planned/constructed near Angus. We were not overly concerned about the con­struction Of this golf· course until my neighbOr suggested th:at some reports indicate this golf course may well draw· down enough water in the next few years as to render wells in the ai-ea useless· -that's right, wells may dry up. Not only that, it could dry up the Rio Bonito changing the eco·system of the valley for­ever, and for:ever is a very long time.

From that moment on the ~ajority always votes for the candidates promising­the· most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses_ over looSe·fiscal policy followed by a dictatOrship: · _

. There is one infallible test that could be given. When we peddle our demOcracy to the r:est of the world as the only tn~e path, do we also tell them that they must devise a mechanism by which the candidate who didn't get the mds't. votes could take office? Or do We hold yet another double stan-dard? .

The-last time a son of a former Presi­dent ·too'k the White House without wiQ. ning a popular vote, in the 1820s, his oppo­nent, a man from Thnnessee,' came· back in four yearS and beat the hell Out of him.·

Obviously. I am deeply concerned not only for the future of my (amily but the future of the area .as well as my friends and neighbors. We all have made sub­stantive investments to live here.- What

·is puzzling to me is that no on·e seems to be considf'.ring the financial impact of this potentially devastating. action on this marvelous area!

Let us suppose the reports are cor­rect. Let us further suppose that wells do run dry. If building comes to a halt~ it rep­resehts a potential loss to builders of well over $100 million in riew home construc­tion (350 additional homes x $300K per home.)

What is the potential loss to local merchants who supply goods and services to these new or relocated residents? $10 million? $15 million? $20 miilion? How many millions are lost when real estate professionals cannot sell undeveloped property or resale homes? How big will · the tax loss be. to Lincoln County? Will the taxes that would be paid by these home and property owners be recovered through 'taxation of this single golf course? Lincoln County- are you think-

. Help California -eat. more. raisins . bY STEWART TRUE,LSEN

AMF.RJC'.AN f-ARM fJUflliAU I'F.DFJlATION . .C~lifomia fanuer:s who dry

grapes to m~ke raisins have a simple _·reQ.Uest. Eat mOre raisins. Add raisins to the list of so-called _minor crops like appJes and cranberries that are, suffering from over-supply and bad prices. As more and ·more specialty crop farmers are find­iJJ.g out~ you don't have to grow a major crop like wheat, com or soybeans to have a major price-headache.

RaiSins of course are sun-· dried grapes, and USDA's fore­.cast ·for grape pl"'duction in 2000 is 20 .percent higher than for 1999, surpassing a record set in 1997. Growers in-Cfilifor­nia, where 90 percent of the country's grapes are grown, and Washin~, which is sec­ond in . p dl:f.C.tion, planted more laJICI grapes in recMt

years. Favorable weather also has been a big factor.

· Jerald Rebensdorf, presi­dent and plant manager of Fresno Co-operative Raisiil Growers. said cash· returns to growers will be ~he lowest in 10 or 15 years. Under the market­ing order for raisins, growers receive the best pri¢e for ton:. nage thbt goes into the domes­tic or · export market. Excess raisins go into a pool or. resel;'Ve and bring a lot lower price. · Rebensdorf said growers l~t year were paid aboUt $1,400 a .ton .on 85 percent of their productiOn. This .J}'ear. he estimate<i the price wilT be clos­er to $800 or $900 a ton, and because of the large· crop, grow­ers will receive that. on only about 50 percent Of their crop.

It takes about 4 to 5 weeks to dry raisins 'under ideal weather conditions. Everyone

recognizes raisins by their wr;inkles but too many wrin­kles areri't necessarily· good. "Larger raisins that have a lot of meat in ·them and smaller. wrinkles are the B-grade or better raisins; and sm.aller, skinnier raisins that have bi'f. wrinkle~ are C-grade raisins,' said Rebensdorf.

There are plenty· of high quality raiSins to gO aro\lnd this. year, and low prices have at least son~e upside for grow­ers, according to Rebensdorf. "We are hoping by lowering the PJice that we are going" to keep imports out and . enc·ourage more .people to buy raisins and encourage the large .industrial users to put more raisins in their products," he. said. Large users 1nclude bakeries and cereal companies.

The raisin grower's hope that-yOu will eat more raisins is

not a selfish request .. Raisins fit very well with food .pyramid programs that suggest a person eat 2-4 servings .a day of fresh and dried fruit. Raisins al-e a great source of natural energy. Raisihs ar~ even a fun food· _thanks in part to advertisihg and promotions. There is a raisin: chat room on one of the ·web sites, and raisin poetry and raisin rumors can be. found there, like the mes· sage that said a major fast food chain would be intrOduciilg a raisin burger.

Now that's something that would smooth. the wrinkles right out of a raisin and make the growers smile, if it were true.

Neither team scored early, and with six ininutes remain-· ing on the clock, RuidoSo coach Albert Ronquillo put his team into a stall.

~or the next two minutes_, Clarissa Silva just held the ball. . · · ' ·

Wtth 4:11· shoWing on the clock, Ronquillo called a time out then, for another 30 sec­onds - despite calls from the fans to "g9t it go:ing'' - the W&niors played pass ·near half court. · . Ronquillo had his reasons

fur the slowdown. "He.can't match up with us

man-to-man, and I wanted him t9 play man-to-man,~ Ronquillo said. "I wanted to get- them out of their zone."-

It worked, and the riors picked up some buckets with the Dons zone.

That's not to say Ruidoso had it easy.

The scO.reboard read 6-3 Vegas after one qu~r, then the Dons went on an 11-0 run to lead l!l-11 going into the locker room:

.Ronquillo said that:'s when he challenged his squad.

"I said, 'The first two min­utes are critical. If we steP up and play hard the first two minutes, we'll win this ball game.' We did that and we stepped up,., he said. "Wf:.. . shOwed a lot of compos'-\re· Playj.ng these tough teams helped us out there at the end. because we w.ere -composed and their pressure didn't get to us."

The Warriors went on 8. 13-3 ~n in the third; going from 13 paints down to three.

With 10 seconds left in the quarter, JU.styn Vogel hit a free-throw to tie the match, then Crystal Rojas hit a pair from the chru:ity stripe to put Rui.doso up by two. .

The final stanza was back and forth.

The Warriors went up lzy four with just over a minute remaining, and it looked like that would be enc:rugh to seB.l

L a s t year the Transitions/Career Fair had 45 boOths; about 250 students participated from Ruidoso, Capitan, Car­rizozo~ Corona, Hondo, Tularosa · and Cloudcroft school districts.

"What our goal is, is to make it a mandatory thing," Herrera· said, "a junior­senior day just for them to take that opportunity to look . at college-s and careers that are out there. So we do want a variety of careers repre­s~nted, just because there are some students that aren't iriterested in doing a four-year college."

Some of the organiza­tions that have already committed to participate include Eastern New Mexi­co University, Long Term Services of Las .Cruces, the New Mexico Commission for the Blind of Alamogordo, the village of ·Ruidoso, Wells Fargo Bank, One Stop Center, Burger King and McDonald's, all of Rui­doso; New Mexico Army.

County's growth· means new· coinmission district boundaries Total precinct, commission, legislative redistricting coming up following decennial federal census

UY 'DIA:-.1:-.:J·. S'JALLINCi.S ~) ."<1'\\'S \I'A/-I'.W/Ull'.R

Prepa:ring for 'the rel8ase. o.f Cen­'·su~ . .:lOOO. dnta April· 1, .Lihcoln .County 'Commissioners will be briefed Thurs­day on the. pl-oce.Ss of creating hal~ nnced legi.slntive a·nct county commis­sion distril'ts.

Oue bit ·of.infOrmalion they~l he~r i.!:l that Linl'olri County experienced the lburth-lnrge.!)t populi;ttiqn increase from 1990 to 19.99 in the state~ .b~ed on figures put to~the·r: by Research & Po)ling Inc .. the Albuquerque· firm hil'('tl to ·pull the statewide redistrict­ing plan together.

Based on the firm's data, the county's. pOpulation last year Was 16,77H, n ~n.:~ -pPrceTit ~l)c·rease· from

· 1~.219 in HJ90. Thrrance County led tllf' pack with n .59.5 per·cent increase

·in .Jnlpuliltioil, followed by Valencia County with 43 9 p.ercent ~d San­dovnl Cqunty \\'tth 42.5 percent.

roqrr{ of the count,r courthousCin Car:­rizozo. StB:te Sen. Rod Adair. a Demo­crat froni Ros\yell and a cle~ographer, will, go over the .procedure with com­IQissione'rs.

~dan Sanderoff, pt.esident of Research & Polling Inc., discUssed .scitne of the problems and details this week. . .·'

Uilder state statutes, each county· with ~ population ll:lrger than .13,000 JllUSt cr:eate districts for each of its commisf!i~m~rs with as equal.popula- . tion as possible, Five commissioners are eleCted. from their separate dis-tricts in Lincolil ·County. · ·

.. Common to bo~ the state legisla~ .tive and county·corrimission reC.istrict­ing is that every ·10 years, along -with ci;t-y. ·co.Uncils ~d school boards throughout the state; they. must adjust .their election district bound ...

. Bries so that there is substantially equal population in each," Sanderoff e:¥Pl¢ned. . . .

Precincts. are. the building blocks of rel;listricting and may be split or

rea:ligned...in putting together: the new ·districts. : '"IYplcally, the.re are Wi!ll't.ets and

·losers," he said. "If your county hasl.1't kept pace with the State's grow:th Tate, (boundaries) must grow -to pick up &dditional .Population. If you've grown

"Redistricting canhecom.e more ·intense than actuald.ections."

Brian Sanden.iff, Pr~,-~~idem. Rcs'eun:h &. Polling lnc. ·

·,at a inu~ greater rate, your bonnd-aries "Will,.~hrink." ..

Because ·Lincoln County grew substant'ially in the last decade while sorrie of its neighbor.ing c~)UntieS. did­n't, those neighbors may start looking at Lincoln to slice away s01ne popula­tion ·for legislative districts, he said.

"They need to be watching," SEmderoff said. If n: portion of the

county i.s acquired by a district domi­nated by a particular. political· party, the .section's t>Oiitical repre.sentation in the ·state Legislature could change.

The county.: doesn't have a large enough population ·to warrant a state· legislator of its own, something that · requires· 41,000 people, he said. It now shares State Rep. Dub Williams, a Republican from· Glencoe, with Otero ·County and ~:me cmnmunity in Chaves County. ·

'.'All 112 legislators thihk about starting (rE!QistriCting) at t:heir dis­trict and drawing the line's, b\lt some­how we ml.).st @t all the pieces of th~

'puzZle together," SandeToff said. ''You can't look ai it in vacuum. You must look at the entirE'· region and the %tate." ·

. ·The same approach _h.c;,lds true in determining county coriunission dis­tricts within a county, Sanderoft' said . Low population rural districts often lilltst cut into densely, sett~ed areas tO maintain balance with other districts.

··This iS Sanderoff'S third rourid of

redistrictjng and ·he's worked with about 50 diffe~nt govemtnent. enti~ ties over. the la.s,t 2.0 years, he said."

The toug!rest thing to confront in the process is the poli~al survival of elected officials, he said.

·~districting can become more inten~e th,an actual elections,"' Sanderoft' silid. "So:g:~e· .are nm always vvillirig to work together for· what is· best fbr the cdnllil.unity/' . . .

Le¢ prohibitions i,n redistricting ·include that it cannot dil11te the vot­_ing ·strength of ~thnic or 1a:nguage minority· groups,· he said. But no reqUirement exists to maximize tlJem either. he sirld. .

''You ca:n even take into accourit . politieal interests," · Sanderdft' said. "T.he state Supreme Court hais real­ized that voters have the. right to return two incumbents, but if they are· bot~ P1;1t .in same· district thrf?~4 red1~tnct1ng, on:ly one can surv1ve ..

Mayor urges_.second. engineer on payroll 'to save money' BY jAMES KAl.\"ELAGE Rt"/LJ0.\0 ,'I,'I'U"-' _q:A,t-J-- ll'RlU:R

Ruidoso may consl.der adding_an in-house engineer t.o the payroll.

Mayor Robert Donaldson last week floated the idea before the village Council.

I!j the wake of a couple of police station renovation bids that exceeded budget, Donald­son said engineering firnls seem to be responsible for pushing costs high.

"I think it's time to look at fin in-house engineer," the mayor said. ~e have comput­ers that have CAD (comptr~er-

aided drafting). Having- an ·on .. Staff engineer_ to revieW plans. and see that ·they're not over­engineered, I think would save money."

The mayo:r: saj.d the engi­neer could work with the vil­lage'S. special-projects (!oordiD.a­tor c;reatinga quasi engineering oversight department. ·

Donaldson said a- .number of project'._ areas, su:ch as streets, ca:q.Id be engineered in QQuse.

Counailor Bill Chanoe ques­tioned whether the position would_ be a general-enginee·r or someo;ne specialized, sUch as for the prqjects planned· at the vil­lage"s Sierra B~ca_ Regional

Airport. . . · "If YO'IJ get too specialized,

·it's too expensive," Alan -Briley, village manager, said. Briley is also an ~eer, but Don-aldson· said the V;tllage manager has a: . full Workload. .

"We · can haVe . our extra enfPneer review theil- stuff," Donaldson said of eQgineering fiim.s hired to address special­ized prOjects. ~e have enough sinaller stuff that I think it's a good id~;~a to have an in~hm,ise engineer."

Whilet .'the council to'Ok no action· on the proPosal; m.e~ber Bob Sterchi said a village engi­neer sound~ like a good ide~.

REDISTRICTING: Legislature to hassle the total plan

Sometimes, it's tQlavoidable.·: Other guidelines ii)clude

~eeping districts as compact as possible without "'isiQ.nds" 8I1-d · considering. common interests such .as neighborhoods, cultur­al traditions, geographical fea­tures, high growth areas and urbaO v"ersu,s rura areas.

· After ·the fiTpl comes up with a plan, it will go to state Legislature to hassle, but the process is sched-uleQ to- wind down in December 2001.

· In other agenda items from Gary Cozzens. Thursday, the commission will:. · • Conduct a hearing. at 2

SCOOP ·av DIANNE STALLING~ RUIDOSO NEWS .STAFF WRITER

When thinking about what type of cOmpanion dog to adopt or purchase, .author Judith Halhbur­

. ton offered some. guidance in her book called "Raising RoVer." ·

Her observations about the ec~ 'centric::ities of various breeds are insightful and humOrous and I thought readers would enjoy an~ other look.

For example, she writes that: • Dachshunds are almost ex­

clusively companion dogs "but can be problem barkers because they all think they're mastiffs."

• Labradors- "The word 'cau­tion' is not a worki~ part of a Labrador's vocabulary.'

• Rottweilers- "Like Dober­mans, Rots can get far too serious and totally wrapped up in their du­ties. They need lighthearted plan and affection."

• Lhasa Apsos - "Stubborn in every sense of the word. You real­ly haven't seen back talk until

an

you·'re seen it froJ;n a Lhasa." • Blue and Red Heelers

""TI;I~se d~~s are totally devoied" to the1r families. If for some reason Rover has to be .given away, hei's gOing·to have a heck of a time ad­justing to a new family."

• Border Collies - Second only to the poodle in ease of house training, she wrote. ''Along with behljl the bes.t herd dogs, Border Colhes 8re one of the best dogs around, period." . ·.

• American Staffordshire teni­er (pit bull) - '"One of the neatest things about this Rover is that he can Oo a job very well, but still be a fun pet. They are not bred to fight. Unfortunately (some) have been trained to fight."

• Cocker Spaniel - "They wan:t to be dominant. I yell this at you because I don't ever want t\you to say you weren't warned."

• Collies- They are very clean and intelligent, but be warned, they're also barkers, she_wrote.

• Dal_matians - Incredibly clean, but they "always take ad-

.vantage of a weakness" a1id are not good with children.

• Goldeit Retrievers - "I get more calls about serious destruc­tion problems. from Golden and Lab owners . than any other breeds." .

But she added, "Because of their' wonderful terD.perament, they are used in Blmost every job a dog can have."

• Chow Chow - '"One of the few dogs that I recommend as. a latchkey dog (eight to 10 hours maximum alone).

"Rover will be affectionatt; and incredible lOyal, but" you must be at all times his master."

" German Shepherd - "There are good Gennan Shepherds and bad ones. If y~ have a good one, he will most likely be the best.dog yoU've ever had. The bad ones al-en 't too bright and that tends to make.them unpredictable."

' Jake is a attractiv~ ·who carrie. to the S:l:ielter
