Journal Staff Writer Mesa Verde is slowly eroding — one centimeter at a time. The sandstone canyons carved out of the huge mesa Southeast of Cortez hold some of the most impressive archaeological discoveries in the world. But time is taking its toll on them. Archaeologists are carefully monitoring Cliff Palace, the park’s largest signature attraction. The main focus is on a kiva, a small sub-surface round room believed to be used for ceremonial purposes. The kiva sits at the base of 150 rooms, some in multi-level towers, all constructed of hand fashioned blocks of sandstone held together with little more than mud, water and ash. The kiva being monitored is one of 23 others similar to it. Chief of Research and Resources, Scott Travis is trying to learn why it is happening and the reasons may be many. The most obvious cause is that Cliff Palace is over 800 years old. A cliff dwelling, it sits protected from above by an enormous alcove that is still forming. Wind, water and other forms of erosion, however, are adding to the constant change of the structure, one of the greatest ancient man-made marvels in the world, according to
A Dolores murder case has been postponed for two months. Originally scheduled for Monday, the preliminary hearing for Luther Hampson was moved to May 29 after the defense requested more time to review the more than 1,400 pages of evidence. Hampson, 26, is accused of murdering fellow Dolores resident Jonathan Hayes, 27, whose body was found by hikers Jan. 14 near Dolores. In a prior hearing, 22nd Judicial District Attorney Russell Wasley said it appears Hayes died from a wound to the throat. Daniel W. Edwards, special prosecutor from Denver is assisting Wasley in prosecuting the firstdegree murder charge. On the defense side, Hampson is being represented by Katie Telfer and Justin Bogan, supervising attorney with the Durango public defender’s office. Hampson elected to retain Bogan as his council in February

A trickle from McPhee for fickle fish Reservoir water release to help native species By Reid Wright Journal Staff Writer This spring, water groups are allocating reservoir spill water to help native fish species on the Lower Dolores River. Unlike sport fish introduced from outside sources, native species have been swimming local rivers for an estimated 2 million years. But the past few decades,
they have become not only low on the food chain, but low on the water chain after water is prioritized for irrigation, industry, drinking water and recreation. Native fish species found on the Lower Dolores River include the flannelmouth sucker, bluehead sucker and roundtail chub. This year, after a winter of below average precipitation, water officials will be releasing a trickle of spill water a little early from the cold bottom of the McPhee Reservoir before the spring rafting spill in an effort to keep water temperatures low during warm spring weather and prevent native fish from spawning too soon.
“The boating community is really good about saying ‘part of our boating experience is the health of the river.” Mike Preston manager Dolores Water Conservancy District

That can be very hard on the newly hatched larval fish.” Recognizing that a threatened or endangered species designation for the native fish could bring government intervention and regulation of the river, whitewater boating organizations have agreed to sacrifice some spill water for the fish, said Mike Preston, manager of the Dolores Water Conservancy District. “The boating community is
“The problem is when you get a really rapid rise in temperature very quickly, and then these fish start to mature, there are eggs, and they start to get in spawn mode,” said Jim White, an See fish on Page 5A

NM town requiring insurance for vicious dogs ELEPHANT BUTTE, N.M. (AP) — Own a vicious dog like a pit bull and live in Elephant Butte and you must carry special liability insurance. As of March 1, those dogs are considered potentially dangerous by the city of Elephant Butte. Anyone with that breed and others now has 90 days to insure their dogs for $100,000 worth of personal property liability. City Manager Alan Briley tells KOAT-TV it’s the city’s response to the fatal pit bull mauling in neighboring Truth or Consequences last year. Briley says pit bulls, rottweilers and German shepherds are the top three breeds more likely to attack people according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Briley says it shouldn’t be difficult to find companies willing to cover dogs like pit bulls.
Warm days bringing bears out of hibernation early DENVER (AP) — Temperatures rising into the 70s in some areas are bringing some of Colorado’s black bears out of hibernation early. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say sightings have already been reported in Colorado Springs, Aspen, Durango and Summit County. Colorado has an estimated 16,000 to 18,000 black bears and more than 5 million people. Wildlife officers put down bears that are deemed a nuisance to humans. Wildlife officials say that to discourage bears from seeking food near humans, residents should feed pets indoors, lock up trash, remove birdfeeders in spring and summer, keep grills clean and inside sheds or garages, and lock doors and windows of homes and cars.
Man who shot woman says he thought Mohawk was bird
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) — A 49-year-old Grand Junction man who said he shot a woman in the head when he mistook her large red Mohawk for a fowl that had been harassing his cats has been sentenced to five years probation. Derrill Rockwell told police he fired one shot at what he thought was a bird sitting on a hill near his home Oct. 5, and soon after, he heard a woman moaning in pain. Prosecutors say the “bird” turned out to be a 23-year-old woman who may have been sleeping on the hill. Her injury was not life threatening.

Rare Honus Wagner card could fetch $1.5 million By JIM SALTER
mondbacks owner Ken Kendrick paid a record $2.8 million for the highestgraded Wagner card in existence. Goodwin will start the bidding for his card at $300,000 but expects it to bring far more than that. “I believe it will bring between $1.2 million and $1.5 million,” Goodwin said. Experts agree. “Every time a Wagner goes up for auction it seems to go higher and higher and higher,” said Bob Snyder of Dave and Adam’s Card World in Buffalo, N.Y., which claims to be the world’s largest baseball card dealer. Frank Ceresi, a baseball historian whose FC Associates provides appraisals of sports collectibles, said the value of vintage sports memorabilia remains strong. “Because of the Wagner mystique you can never overestimate the value in the market,” Ceresi said. “When you get into the real rare, cool old stuff like a Wagner card, they come up so infrequently that you never know where that price might go.”

ST. LOUIS — A suburban St. Louis man who has been in the collectibles business for a quarter of a century, says the 102-year-old baseball card he’s putting up for auction starting Tuesday is about as good as it gets. Bill Goodwin expects the 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card — one of the most sought-after sports collectibles in the world — to fetch at least $1 million, and perhaps as much as $1.5 million, in the online auction. “We deal with nice products, vintage stuff, but this is the ultimate,” Goodwin, 64, of Sunset Hills, Mo., said. “I can’t see topping this, ever.” The card is owned by a Houston businessman who has declined to be identified.

State negotiating behind closed doors
Budget debate makes for tough decisions By Joe Hanel Journal Denver Bureau
DENVER — The lawmakers who are writing the state’s $20 billion budget have been retreating behind closed doors to negotiate their toughest decisions, despite a state law that requires public meetings to be conducted in the open. The six-person Joint Budget Committee is a little more than a week away from finalizing the Long Bill — an aptly named bill that funds schools, colleges, prisons, health care and most other government functions. The members have been wrestling with the budget since last November, including almost daily meetings since the Legislature convened in January. But JBC observers say the committee tends to take abrupt recesses and retreat behind closed doors whenever a thorny issue crops up. “I’ve done that a lot,” said Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, chairwoman of the committee. “Whenever we get to a point that’s tense, I’ve been trying to release the tension.” One example happened Tuesday, when the panel was discussing a drop in funding from gambling taxes, which pay for the state’s tourism ads and other items. When Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, expressed frustration at the lack of money and options, Gerou took the committee into recess. The six members retreated into the JBC’s staff offices, behind closed doors, and emerged about half an hour later.
Steadman made a motion to put in a temporary number and revisit the decision later, before the budget is finalized. Another example happened a week and a half ago, when the panel into recess without saying why. The members went into the governor’s Office of State Planning and Budgeting. They later revealed they were being consulted on the impending closure of the state’s newest prison, Colorado State Penitentiary II in Cañon City. State leaders announced the closure publicly last Monday. The Colorado Open Meetings Act specifies that all meetings of elected officials discussing public business must be open to the public. The law allows closed-door executive sessions for a limited number of matters, but the sessions have to be announced and recorded. That has not happened with the JBC. However, lawmakers say the open meetings act is nearly impossible to follow to the letter in the state Capitol, where 100 legislators are in close contact with each other and often discuss business in the halls or their offices. And there are times at the JBC – when multimilliondollar, politically charged decisions are on the line – that lawmakers find it impossible to speak their minds in public, said Sen. Mary Hodge, D-Brighton, the panel’s vice-chairwoman. “Everything should be done in public. There’s no question about it. Unfortu-
nately, there are times that issues come up that can’t be resolved in public,” Hodge said. JBC members have a tradition of sticking together to try to pass the budget once it hits the more political atmosphere of the House and Senate, and Gerou wants to preserve that solidarity among the six members. “My goal has been to have as many unanimous votes come out of the committee as possible, because that is the best basis for any budget conversation. That has worked,” Gerou said. Still, close observers of the JBC say the panel is doing more of its work behind closed doors this year than usual. Former legislator Gayle Berry served on the JBC from 1999 to 2002. “We would occasionally have closed-door meetings,” Berry said. “This is more frequent than that.” But, Berry notes, in her era the Legislature was firmly in Republican hands, and she didn’t have to deal with split control of the House and Senate, including a razor-thin GOP majority in the House. Such a dynamic heightens the drama around otherwise routine votes. “It has always occurred, but we attempted to keep them minimal and short,” Berry said. Rep. Jon Becker, R-Fort Morgan, said he does not challenge Gerou’s calls on public meetings. “I follow the chair. If the chair believes it’s appropriate, I will not question the authority of the chair,” Becker said.
P o l ic e B l o tt e r WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14 • An officer spoke with a property manager regarding a report of property damage and theft of copper wires and pipe. He had looked through a house that he had been assigned to and noticed that someone had gone in and removed copper pipe in the basement. The damage and cost to replace the stolen pipe was estimated at $1,000. THURSDAY, MARCH 15 • An officer spoke with the manager of a business property, who told him that he had two 30- to 40-foot tall light posts taken from the loading dock at one of the buildings. The last time he had seen them was Thursday, March 8. The cost to replace them was estimated to be approximately $4,000 to $5,000. He thought that someone might have taken them for scrap metal. FRIDAY, MARCH 16 • Dispatch advised an officer to respond to a fight in progress with an officer already on scene. A male wearing a white tank top was seen walking away from the scene with a female and the officer on scene advised that one of the subjects was possibly armed with a knife. The couple, both known from prior contacts, was located and both were handcuffed. The officer at the scene advised that she was in contact with four male juveniles who told her that the man had threatened them with a knife and threw a beer bottle at them as they tried to get away from him and the woman. They said that the man had held the knife up to them on Montezuma Avenue near the library. No weapons were found on the suspects, but the officer saw a woman waving at him and pointing at the ground near a vehicle in the parking lot about 20 yards from where the suspects were contacted.
Another woman had witnessed the female suspect throw a knife under the vehicle and walk away, and the officer found a silver knife with no handle on the ground under the vehicle. It had what appeared to be blood on it. As the officer was filling out paperwork with the female suspect, she voluntarily stated “those boys should have gotten stabbed anyway” and when she was told she was being charged with menacing, she said “Menacing? For what? Pulling a little baby knife?” The male suspect made the voluntary statement, “I didn’t mean no harm. I was just trying to keep my girlfriend from being harmed.” Both suspects had to be medically cleared due to their high level of intoxication, and were placed on felony investigation hold for felony menacing. • Dispatch received a 911 call reporting a woman screaming, and the caller could also hear kids crying. On arrival, two officers found a woman kneeling on the sidewalk in front of an apartment, and beside her were two small children wearing coats. Both children were crying, and told the officer that they lived in the apartment. They had no physical injuries but appeared very scared. An officer tried to speak with the woman, but she was unable to talk due to her high level of intoxication. There was a key in the door to the unit, and an officer went inside and found a very clean, orderly apartment with the lights turned off. He found an adult male and two more children sleeping inside. The officer woke up the male, who was sober and had him follow him outside, where he identified the female as his live-in girlfriend and her two children. The kids were brought inside and put to bed. The male said that she was supposed to watch them that day while

he was at work, but that he would stay home and take responsibility for them. The officer returned that evening to complete the investigation. The children were happy and seemed to have no lasting effects from the night’s incident, and the woman was sober. She told the officer that she had no memory of what had happened and had apologized to her children. She was advised that if she had a problem with alcohol that there was lots of help out there for her, but that if this sort of situation was going to continue, that she needed to leave her children out of it. She was issued a summons for child abuse. SATURDAY, MARCH 17 • An officer and medics responded to a residential address in reference to a female who was possibly suffering from alcohol poisoning. He observed a female lying on her back in her bed. Her eyes were rolled back in her head; she had a pulse, but she was unresponsive and did not respond to pain stimulus. A friend of the female’s said that he was with her during the day, and she had consumed approximately six beers and three shots of vodka, and had also smoked some marijuana. After the female began to be revived by medics, she was transported to the hospital. The officer spoke with her after she was awake and responsive. She stated that all she remembered was going to a friend’s house to hang out, and it turned into a party. She stated that after she had consumed the alcohol, she “blacked out” and didn’t

Coyote hunt draws criticism The Associated Press
FARMINGTON — A contest that involved killing more than a dozen coyotes in Farmington is drawing ire from a state wildlife protection group for its “bloodthirstiness.” The Farmington chapter of Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife held a so-called coyote-calling contest last weekend, attracting 22 hunters who killed 16 coyotes in two days. It was the seventh year for the event. Hunters use specialized reeds to mimic the sounds of a dying animal, such as a rabbit, to attract the coyotes to kill them. The (Farmington) DailyTimes reported that such events aren’t too common in New Mexico, but Sportsmen member Frances Espinoza said hunting predators is a fast-growing hobby across the country. Proponents of the practice say that coyotes damremember anything else, nor did she age deer herds and kill remember how she got home.

While speaking with the driver, the officer noted that there was a strong smell of unburned marijuana coming from the car’s interior. The driver was asked to step out of the car and was asked if he had been smoking marijuana. He denied doing so, but kept putting his hands inside his front pants pockets after being instructed not to several times. When patting the subject down for possible weapons, the officer located a glass jar with marijuana in it in his pants pocket. The driver was able to successfully complete voluntary roadside maneuvers, and no further action was taken. He was issued a summons for possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana.

Sen. Kent Lambert, RColorado Springs, defended the committee’s practices and said a lot of closeddoor meetings involve legal advice or decisions about contracts – allowable exceptions to the open meetings act. “I don’t think we’re going outside the spirit of anything. Every decision we make is on the public record,” Lambert said. He said sometimes the panel retreats behind closed doors to talk about tricky decisions. “It may have to do with how are we going to explain it to our caucus, how we are going to explain it to the public,” Lambert said. “But it has nothing to do with any particular motion that’s on the table.” Hodge, a JBC veteran, who chaired the panel last year, said the closed meetings are more frequent this year. “In general, it all should be done in public. That’s the law,” Hodge said. Last year, as the budget was nearing completion, JBC members abruptly disappeared from a scheduled public meeting. They were later found in the governor’s budget office, negotiating the most heated parts of the budget. House Republican leaders wanted to reinstate several tax exemptions that Democrats had enacted, and the behind-the-scenes negotiations held up the 2011 budget for a few weeks. This year, leaders from both parties are allowing the JBC to do its work without interference, Gerou said.

missioner from Farmington and a former executive director and Sportsmen’s former director, said hunting coyotes is a method of managing the predators’ population. “You have fishing contests. Is that cruel?” he said. “It is a method of management and recreation just like any other hunting activity.” Darwin Gunnick, a Sportsmen member, said the hunts are necessary. “We need to control coyotes if we want to keep the other animals,” he said. “And hunters are the only ones that will do it.” John Hansen, a wildlife biologist for the Bureau of Land Management’s Farmington office, said coyotes live all over San Juan County, N.M., including in Farmington city limits by the rivers or in open fields of sagebrush and piñon and juniper trees. They eat small animals like rabbits and mice, but also animals as large as sheep, fawn and cattle, and people’s pets. Hansen said that while the BLM focuses on habitat preservation to help sustain local wildlife, there is evidence that shows killing coyotes can prove beneficial to deer and livestock populations. “Coyotes are in Farmington, they’re at the river bottoms, and they kill a lot of cats and small dogs,” Gunnick said. “A lot of people have problems with them.”

ObamaCare Focus of case is on scope of law
T
his week, the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments about the constitutionality of the Obama administration’s 2010 health care reform plan. That’s all. The court won’t rule on whether it’s a good idea, whether it’s well designed, or whether it’s cost-effective for the government or affordable for individuals. It won’t rule on whether the free market could do a better job, or whether that market has failed abysmally. It won’t rule on whether the president’s program is a top-secret plot to force Americans to eat broccoli or use contraception. All those points are in question (although some shouldn’t be), but they aren’t before the Supreme Court this week. The issue is not health care, but government’s relationship with its constituents. The centerpiece of the case is the requirement that Americans either obtain insurance, through any of a variety of means. Justices also will determine whether the federal government can withhold Medicaid funding from states that do not expand their programs to cover people slightly less poor, at 133 percent of the federal poverty level, than the current Medicaid cutoff. While the court sorts through the legality of those mandates, and while supporters and opponents of the law debate, often bitterly, the need for it, everyone should remember that whatever the Supreme Court decides in this case, the ruling will not, and cannot, comThe issue: pletely divorce government from Health care health care.

When the latter happens, the costs don’t disappear. Often they’re spread among other recipients of health care, especially private-pay patients without an insurance company or a government agency to negotiate their costs. Without Medicare and Medicaid, several possibilities emerge. One is that costs might rise to a level at which a sharply decreasing number of patients could afford either care or insurance coverage. Another is that providers, unable to cover their costs, would flee the market, resulting in diminished availability of care in many markets and a near void in others, especially rural areas. Innovation could decrease as its potential rewards shrank. Without government mandates to provide emergency care as well as basic care to certain populations, including children, the overall level of health in this country could drop, increasing both risks and costs for those who can still afford health care. And so on. Opponents of government programs could argue persuasively that if such programs never had been instituted, a different system would have emerged. No doubt that is true, nor can there be much doubt that one would emerge if the government gradually withdrew from health care finance or that the system currently in place will evolve, because there is simply too much money in health care to imagine that the market will be allowed to wither. But those aren’t the issues before the Supreme Court, which is not being asked to design a fair, affordable system of health care. The third branch of the federal government will rule on whether the other two branches have a right to force individuals to attempt, at least, to cover their own health care costs, and whether it can force the states to follow rules the federal government sets up for Medicaid. Those are very specific questions, and the answers will determine a great deal of the future of health care in this country. They carry enough weight. Neither the public and the states, nor the administration and Congress, nor the court itself should freight them with any more.

It was a great honor to be the sponsor of the memorial tribute by the Colorado General Assembly to the former Ute Mountain Ute Chairman, Ernest House Sr. Mr. House died in a motorcycle accident on Sept. 17, 2011. In addition to his duties with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Mr. House also served in the Colorado Army National Guard and was a member of the Airborne Division. Ernest House Sr. was the grandson of the last hereditary chief of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Chief Jack House, whose image is prominently displayed in the center glass window of the Old Supreme Court in the State Capitol. Present to accept the tribute were his son, Ernest House Jr., and daughters, Michelle and Jacque House. Ernest House Jr. is the executive secretary on the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs and is a very good friend of Assistant House Majority Leader, state Rep. Mark Waller of Colorado Springs. On the same day, the flags of the Southern Ute Tribe and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe were officially made a part of the Colorado Capitol in a flag ceremony attended by Gov. John Hickenlooper. They will proudly stand in front of the door to the offices of the lieutenant governor on the first floor of the Capitol. These activities came on the heels of
Capitol Report Rep. J. Paul Brown the House Education Committee giving unanimous approval to SB 12- 57, sponsored by me in the House. This is the bill that gives school districts the flexibility to hire qualified Native American language teachers without the educational certification requirements. This bill has garnered a lot of attention in the media of Native American communities. I was even interviewed by the Navajo Times, and the reporter indicated that she was hopeful that Arizona would pass a similar bill. The economic and revenue forecast was presented by the Legislative Council Staff and by the Governor’s Office last week. The good news is that the economy seems to be gradually gaining strength, which may result in an estimated $256 million left in the general fund at the end of the year above the required reserve. The General Assembly will have
$602.2 million more to spend in fiscal year 2012-13 than the amount budgeted for FY 2011-12. This amount does not account for expenditure pressures resulting from inflation and caseload growth and assumes that the $256 million will not be spent this year. The bad news is that for every dollar estimated to be available, numerous entities want to spend that dollar. No one is talking about funding the maintenance of Colorado’s buildings and other infrastructure. The total of levels 1, 2, and 3 controlled maintenance projects as recommended by the office of the State Architect is $63 million. Presently, only level 1 projects, those that are deemed emergencies, are budgeted. All maintenance levels should be fully funded. Of course there are other important needs like K-12 education, higher education, developmentally disabled and many others. We must continue to make government more efficient. The one thing that is sure is that priorities must be made, and no one will be completely satisfied. J. Paul Brown represents House District 59 in Colorado’s General Assembly.

reader writes An expensive decision without funds to back it Editor: I think many people are assuming that the debate over the four-day week vs. the five-day week is about giving teachers a day off. To me it is about much more than that. It is about the school board once again making decisions without input from those who elected them. It is about a very temporary interim superintendent making very permanent decisions knowing that she won’t be here for the consequences. It is about
willingness to make huge changes for the sake of student achievement when they are unwilling to bend on things like curriculum that is used every day in the classroom. Many of us went to the public meetings when the four-day week was put into place. We all watched Dr. (former superintendent Stacy) Houser’s presentations, listened intently to the options and understood them. Closing schools and laying off teachers, losing extracurricular sports programs and band, or going to a four-day week were
pretty much the only choices. Our district’s finances have not improved since this change was made. So for me, and many other parents, it is not about a day off; it is about making an expensive decision without the funds to back it up. Where will the money come from, and how will our community be affected if the money doesn’t come at all? Joyce Horne Cortez Via CortezJournal.com

State budget decisions are looming
I had seven bills in committee this past week, meaning it was a very full and mentally challenging week to keep all of the details of the bills straight, so I could explain them to committee members. The number of bills for me to present was that high because the House bills were making their way over to the Senate. Because I spent four years in the House before coming to the Senate, a number of the House legislators and I have already worked together. We know each other’s strong suits and areas of interest and committee assignments, so, despite being in the minority, they’d asked me to carry their bills. I remember what it’s like as a House member seeking a Senate sponsor since there are about half the number of senators as there are representatives, so I’ve been willing to help the House members.
It made for a particularly interesting week because the bills spanned diverse topics like local government, technical revisions to the Uniform Commercial Code, reinforcing trustees’ authority in a property tax appeal, upgrading Colorado’s laws impacting installation of residential wastewater systems, and collecting more information on rural health care work forces. I’m pleased to say that six of the seven bills passed at least their initial hearings in the Senate. The one bill that didn’t survive its committee hearing was originally sponsored in the House by Rep. J. Paul Brown. The bill would have allowed county voters to decide whether they want to elect their county commissioners by district or at large. I see absolutely no good reason why larger Colorado counties currently have this ability, but counties with a population of
Life in the
Legislature Sen. Ellen Roberts 70,000 residents or less are denied the right to even consider this possibility. There was strong opposition from a couple of county commissioners in my district and lots of support among residents of the more rural reaches of the counties. These residents feel underrepresented in county issues by the current election at-large process. Their concern is that the election at-large approach encourages com-
missioners to favor the sentiments of residents living in the more concentrated towns or cities in the county. Colorado Farm Bureau and other agricultural groups were very supportive of the bill and I appreciated their statewide outreach on the issue. It’s understandable why some commissioners in opposition to the bill would feel threatened by such a change, but the citizen support for the bill was heartfelt and bipartisan. While it meant having to choose sides in a contentious issue in my district, I agree that all counties, regardless of size, should have the same choice in electing their local governments. I’m disappointed that the bill was voted down in the Senate “kill” committee. This week brings us closer to debates on the state budget bill, which will be introduced in the House. It’s good to know that, according to the
latest forecast, our state’s economy is improving. I’m hoping we’ll see that news translate into jobs for those still unemployed or underemployed in my district. As we approach this budget cycle, we state legislators need to carefully consider the consequences of past cuts made and to remember the upcoming state impacts of impending federal cuts. We must also revisit establishing a meaningful Colorado rainy day fund, something we seriously missed in this recession. Ellen Roberts represents Senate District 6 in Colorado’s General Assembly.

Meet Izzy the beagle, defender of US agriculture Dog sniffs out illegal food in baggage
By MEGHAN BARR Associated Press NEW YORK — On a recent busy afternoon at Kennedy Airport, a beagle with plaintive eyes was lying on the floor of Terminal 4, oblivious to the chaos of rolling luggage and human activity teeming all around her. There was no prying this dog off the ground — despite the best attempts of Officer Meghan Caffery, her closest companion and partner. “Izzy,” Caffery said, a note of exasperation in her voice. “You’ve only been here an hour.” The 6-year-old beagle, who works for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, can’t be faulted for taking a break. She spends most of her time trotting briskly around the baggage carousels with Caffery in tow, searching for illegal food stowed in luggage arriving from international flights. Thousands of bags stream through this terminal every hour, and Izzy is the first line of defense against food or plants that could wreak havoc on American agriculture. “Some flights are, you know, just apples or sandwiches that people had from the plane they forgot in their bags,” said Caffery, an agriculture specialist canine handler. “Some flights are notorious for bringing in sausages or fresh fruits.” Izzy is among a small cadre of luggage-inspecting beagles who live and work at the airport, though federal officials won’t disclose the exact number of canines employed. Technically called a “passive response dog,” she is trained to sit whenever she smells one of several odors: fruit, meat, plant, seed or vegetable. With just one sniff, Izzy can determine whether a bag is worth searching — a seconds-long appraisal that would take human officers hours to do, given that about 1 million travelers pass through Kennedy Airport in a single month. During her three years of employment, she’s found everything from duck tongues to pigs’ heads

On average, about 28 pounds of food are collected every day, most of it from people who are trying to sneak in food from their native countries. “We pulled a four-foot fig tree out of a bag one day,” Caffery said. “The roots and soil and everything, like it was just dug right out of the ground.” Her nose never fails to spot a trace of food, sometimes even picking up the scent of a snack that was removed from a bag hours before. During one lap around a carousel, as they wove in and out of startled passengers, Izzy paused before a pile of bags, tail wagging. Caffery looked around and called out: “Whose bags are these?” The young man who claimed them acknowledged, upon further questioning, that there were indeed an apple and a banana inside. Caffery marked down the items on a blue Customs declaration form. Izzy stayed put, waiting for a piece of food to emerge from Caffery’s pocket: Her reward for a successful find. “She’ll eat just about anything,” Caffery said. Sometimes it’s a bit of a

EL CAJON, Calif. — The body of an Iraqi-American woman who was found brutally beaten next to a note saying “go back to your country, you terrorist” was being prepared to be flown to Iraq for her funeral, Muslim leaders say. Shaima Alawadi, 32, was taken off life support on Saturday, three days after her 17-year-old daughter found her unconscious in the dining room of the family’s El Cajon home in suburban San Diego. Investigators said they’re exploring all aspects of her slaying, including the possibility that the attack was a hate crime. Alawadi’s father is a Shiite cleric in Iraq and the Iraqi government will pay for have her body sent back, a Muslim leader in Michigan told the Detroit Free-Press on Sunday. “Everybody is outraged,” Imam Husham Al-Husainy of the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center in Dearborn said. “This is too evil, too criminal.” The daughter, Fatima Al Himidi, told KUSI-TV her mother had been beaten on the head repeatedly with a tire iron, and that the note said “go back to your country, you terrorist.” Police said the family had found a similar, threatening
note earlier this month but did not report it to authorities. Al Himidi told KGTV-TV her mother dismissed the first note, found outside the home, as a child’s prank. Flowers were piled on the doorstep of the home Sunday. A neighbor said the family had moved in only a few weeks ago. Friends said Alawadi wore a hijab, the Islamic head scarf. Hayder Al-Zayadi, a family friend, told the Free-Press Alawadi moved to the United States in 1993 with her family and was part of a wave of Shiite Muslim refugees who fled to Michigan after Saddam Hussein cracked down on an uprising in 1991. After living in Dearborn for a few years, she moved to the San Diego area in 1996, graduated from high school and became a housewife raising five children, Al-Zayadi said. Al-Zayadi said Alawadi’s brothers worked for the U.S. Army, serving as cultural advisers to train soldiers who were going to be deployed to the Middle East. Another family friend told the San Diego Union-Tribune that Alawadi’s husband had a similar job. El Cajon, northeast of downtown San Diego, is home to one of the largest Iraqi communities in the United States.

struggle to keep Izzy moving after she’s found something. Caffery was forced to drag her along the floor a couple of times, urging her to keep going. “Come on, find it,” she said. “Come on, you can’t lay down.” Passengers often take great pains to hide their loot, stuffing it in soda bottles or coffee cans or sewing it into their coats. Some even tape food directly to their bodies. Though a piece of fruit may seem harmless enough, officials say each item is potentially dangerous. “Something as simple as an apple could carry the larva of a Mediterranean fruit fly,” said Officer James Armstrong, who supervises the agricultural searches, “which, if it got loose in our citrus crops in the United States, could cost billions of dollars.” Confiscated items are brought to the airport’s grinding room, which has a long steel table piled with rotting food. That day’s haul included sausages, barley, burlap, curry, beets and an
assortment of fruits and vegetables, among other things. Officers send out samples to a lab for analysis and then crush the remainder through a hole in the table that acts like a garbage disposal. “This is discovery. You know, this is neat,” Armstrong said, waving a gloved hand across the table. “This is where you open it up and you find an insect or a larva or something and it kind of completes the mission, you know? That’s what it’s all about.” Throughout the day, Caffery and Izzy are affectionate with one another, and during a lull in flight arrivals, they can invariably be found hugging or cuddling. “I’m with her more than I’m with my family, for the most part,” Caffery said. “It’s constant.” Luckily for these two, they’ll never have to be separated. Izzy will continue working at the airport for several more years. After that, she gets to start a new career: as Caffery’s personal pet.
ting too warm too early,” he said. “We’ll be able to evaluate that in real time.” If more young native fish are found in next year’s fish surveys, then biologists will then be able to surmise that this year’s spawn was more successful. Fish surveys indicate the native species are making a comeback. Electro-fishing and net-capture techniques in 2011 yielded 35 percent native fish on the river, White said, up from 9 percent in 2007. However, samples are dominated by the nonnative and predatory small mouth bass, which make up 57 percent of fish netted. The fish release represents a new level of cooperation between the numerous organizations who have interest in the river and it’s precious waters. “We’re pretty excited to see some interesting opportunities in progress,” White said.

White acknowledged temperature is not the only spawning cue, but he hopes the release will mimic a more natural hydrograph and provoke a spawn after the spill. In wet years, water is released before the spill regardless to prevent the reservoir from overflowing. What makes this year unique, is that the early release is tailored specifically for the native fish. While it won’t be known this year if the early release to cool spring waters helped the native fish, White said officials will be able to know how river temperatures are affected using satellite monitoring. “We will be able to see if Reach Reid Wright at rereleasing those increments idw@cortezjournal.com. kept the water from get-

Time to see if the old Colt can still play The Peyton Manning legacy will end in a Denver Broncos uniform. Will the future Hall of Famer’s football golden years result in another gold trophy for the Broncos? Obviously, that’s what John Elway was hoping when he persuaded the Broncos to pony up $96 million to make the former Colt a Bronco. Now the galloping towards greatness begins. This tale has more plot lines than Arlington National Cemetery. Manning over Tim Tebow? That decision was as easy as pie but with more complications than pi. The Broncos did indeed stick their neck out in regards to Manning’s neck. By making this move, even though it’s a five-year contract, the Broncos are screaming that the future is now. The future rests on the rite right arm and the healthy neck of the four-time MVP. ngles Yes, Tebow led Denver to one playoff win last season. But Tebow still has dale shrull more question marks than The Riddler. And Manning has less question marks than a Jeopardy! board. But there are two huge Manning questions — his age and that gangly neck. As for his age, if healthy, Manning will excel. A future Hall of Famer blessed with a quick release, accuracy and an unmatched football IQ. Elway knows something about winning as an old QB. He led the Broncos to a pair of titles when he was 37 and 38. Manning just turned 36. The Super Bowl title is a fleeting accomplishment. Win one year and then watch others showered with confetti the next. Winning consecutive Super Bowls is getting tougher all the time. Winning multiple Super Bowls in this era is a (NY) Giant accomplishment. Dynasties are dinosaurs. The window for winning a championship is smaller than the one in Sneezy’s bathroom. Every team wants that franchise quarterback who will be around for a decade or longer. Build around a quarterback or use free agency for the short-term fix. Tebow’s upside is still as mysterious as Donald Trump’s hair. But last year piqued everyone’s football appetite. He had more overthrows than an Africa government. He threw more balls in the dirt than knuckleballer on a windy day. But he won and left critics baffled over the conquering feats. Amazing athleticism, leadership and determination, he put up victories. Completing just 46 percent won’t get it done in the NFL from a consistent perspective. But he won. He’s a winner and always has been. Elway was that way. He had poor-to-mediocre statistics through a large part of his career, but he won. It’s the only statistic that matters. The Tebow trade ended the shortest but one of the most exciting times in Denver Broncos history. Tebow brought more thrills than a roller coaster and excitement nearly every time he touched the ball. He led the team to heart-stopping wins almost every week. But they caught more breaks than Humpty Dumpty during that late-season run. To be a playoff contender, Tebow was going to have to show major improvement in the passing game. If he’s to survive in the NFL, he must throw the ball better. The longevity of running NFL QBs is as short as Danica’s temper. This year was going to show what Tebow could do. With a full training camp, another year in the system, more work with receivers, then it would be time to drop back and pass judgment on his quarterback abilities. The knock on Tebow is that his mechanics are worse than the ones who created the Edsel. Only time under center and practice time will erode those deficiencies. Now he’s in another learning square. Traded to the New York Jets, he has to learn a new system with new receivers; his learning curve just got bigger. Tebow earned the chance to be the starter in Denver. But that was before Peyton Manning became available. Elway pursued and they got No. 18 and shipped off No. 15. There hasn’t been this much discussion over an arms battle since the Cuban Mission Crisis. But there’s no dispute that a healthy Manning is the best quarterback. He’s one of the all-time greats. There lies the rub. Will he remain healthy? Neck injuries in football are scarier than Snooki becoming a mom. When it comes to the Super Bowl, Denver is looking at a very small window, but the window is there. Defensively, they played great last year. But along with the stellar play of youngsters Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil, there was also the contribution of aging superstars like Champ Bailey and Brian Dawkins. One, maybe two more years is all that remain for these two future Hall of Famers. Free agency will need to fill some major gaps if they will be contenders. With Manning, the neck and his age are questions. For the team, there are many more questions. Linebacker D.J.

Tim Tebow the Jet: Celebrity backup QB meets media By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Sports Writer FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Tim Tebow got his first New York close-up Monday. Speaking at news conference in the Jets field house, because the media crush was so great the session couldn’t be held in the team’s normal press room, the headline-grabbing New York backup QB went out of his way to play down any conflict between himself and starter Mark Sanchez. “Me and Mark have a great relationship,” Tebow said. “We’ve been friends past three years and have already texted back and forth. We are going to have a great working relationship and I think we’ll have a lot of fun together.” Acquired last Wednesday from Denver, the exciting but flawed quarterback is coming off a season of incredible comebacks with the Broncos. The Jets are hoping he has more surprises left in him. Tebow’s new club threw him a quick challenge on Monday, sending him out alone to take questions at what was probably the biggest news conference ever for a second-string NFL player. Tebow stayed composed, speaking in an upbeat tone for more than half an hour. Coach Rex Ryan, general manager Mike Tannenbaum and owner Woody Johnson were not in the building. They were down at the NFL meetings in Palm Beach, Fla., far away from the wild scene at the team’s headquarters. While Ryan and Tannenbaum insist Sanchez is entrenched as the firststring quarterback, Tebow will also see plenty of time on the field and certainly much more of the spotlight. Ryan suggested on Sunday that Tebow could be used at a position other than quarterback. He kept referring to Tebow as a “football player,” his ability not limited to quarterback. “I don’t see Tim just

Tim Tebow holds his first news conference with the New York Jets, Monday, March 26, 2012, in Florham Park, N.J. Tebow, who led the Denver Broncos to the playoffs last year, was acquired in a trade Wednesday with Denver and will serve as the backup quarterback to Mark Sanchez. holding a clipboard,” Ryan told a group of reporters while in Florida for a meeting of NFL team owners. “He’s going to be playing for us. There is no doubt.” Ryan added: “There won’t be a better wildcat quarterback in the game. Is that his only role? I don’t believe that. We’ll see.” Tebow said first and foremost he’s a quarterback, and that’s his hope and dream, but “however I can help the team, I am open to it.” The newest Jet has already helped his team get some attention. While the club claims the trade for Tebow was a footballrelated move, it was also marketing gold as the polarizing QB has occupied the back — and, in some cases, the front — pages of the New York-area tabloids. And that’s just weeks after the Giants won their second Super Bowl in four years. Legions of fans have been snatching up Tebow’s green and white No. 15 jersey. The famed Carnegie Deli in Manhattan already has a sandwich named after him, and Jockey has a digital billboard ad outside the Lincoln Tunnel — on the New Jersey side — with the underwear company saying it supports “Tebow & New York.” It’s been a whirlwind
of a few weeks for Tebow, who just last month was declared Denver’s starting quarterback going into this summer by John Elway. Not long after that, Peyton Manning was suddenly in town and Tebow was told he could get traded. So much for “Timsanity” in Denver. Well, it has hit Broadway in full force, making “Linsanity” and the New York Knicks’ sensational Jeremy Lin seem like a distant memory. Manning was introduced as the Broncos’ newest quarterback last Tuesday, and just over 24 hours later, Tebow was on the move, surprisingly headed to New York. And then, he wasn’t. A snag in the deal held things up between the Jets and Broncos, the delay centered on a salary advance due Tebow. Jacksonville, once considered one of the favorites to land their hometown star, jumped back in the hunt. But eight hours later, the Jets finally completed the trade, agreeing to pay half of the $5 million Denver owed Tebow. There was yet one more delay before the trade became official, as a technicality required Tebow to sign a rewritten contract which kept him on the Broncos’ salary cap until Saturday afternoon.
But now Tebow is here, a member of the Jets. And they intend to make things work with him and Sanchez, who was given a contract extension that included $20.5 million guaranteed less than two weeks ago. He hasn’t commented publicly on the deal yet, but training camp up in quaint Cortland, N.Y., might be a pretty hot spot — especially if Sanchez struggles and restless fans push for more Tebow, creating a quarterback controversy that could last all season. Jets fans have been decidedly mixed on the trade, with many wondering why the team would add a monster distraction to a locker room that had serious issues last season and was partly to blame for an 8-8 finish. Sanchez’s leadership and confidence were questioned by some players, speaking anonymously in newspapers reports, and the addition of Tebow could cut into the starting quarterback’s ability to regain the room. Joe Namath ripped the trade, calling it “a publicity stunt,” and cornerback Antonio Cromartie wondered on Twitter why the Jets would even need a guy like Tebow. He later reversed course, saying he supported Tebow and the team, but there have been plenty of other critics who have made it clear that they think the Jets made the wrong move. While Tebow took Denver from 1-4 to AFC West champions last season, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner hit fewer than 50 percent of his passes and often seemed more comfortable running than passing. Throw in Tebow’s public displays of faith — he is a devout Christian — and he quickly has become a player who triggers a strong reaction from fans. But whether anyone likes it or not, Tebow is part the New York sports scene. Now the Jets must figure out how to make it a winning addition.

Williams will miss the first six games due to a failed drug test. The receiving corps have potential but lack consistency.

Ranger than fiction Cowboys to odd eyeballs, casting calls many By Paige Blankenbuehler Durango Herald The process was quick — about 170 candidates for extra roles filed in the auditorium at a time, agents collected the appropriate paperwork and moved on to the next group. The line for “The Lone Ranger” open casting audition held Friday at Fort Lewis College wrapped around the theater building and extended across campus, lining the west campus dorms at 2 p.m. In line were about 400 locals hoping to land a paid extra role in the movie, which stars Johnny Depp and will be filmed in Utah and Colorado this summer. “We’re going to hire hundreds and hundreds of extras from our open casting calls,” said Kristan Berona of Sande Alessi Casting. The Los Angeles-based company, was also responsible for casting work on “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Glee” and “The Social Network.” Casting calls also are taking place in Creede, Alamosa, Colorado Springs and Moab, Utah. The final open casting will be held April 1 in Moab. Sande Alessi, owner of the casting company, said “extreme character types” are what they are looking for. “We want really thin men, extremely tall men, very short men and women, and people with odd features, huge noses, eyes, ears, lazy eye, grizzled and wrinkled faces, as well as odd body types,” Alessi said. A host of characters came out Friday to give Hollywood a go. One man, Richey “Wild Fire” Tavenner, arrived at the FLC theater building at 7 a.m. after hitchhiking from Cortez. “I’ve always wanted to be in a Western movie, I grew up watching Lone Ranger,” Tavenner said. “I like apple pie, Lone Ranger and cowboys – it doesn’t get much better than that.” Claudia Adams, a parttime resident of Durango, was cast in “The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” as the “madam of Tortuga Cantina.” She has since been in “The Social Network” and
“I’ve always wanted to be in a Western movie, I grew up watching Lone Ranger. ... I like apple pie, Lone Ranger and cowboys – it doesn’t get much better than that.” Richey “Wild Fire” Tavenner Cortez
“Jack and Jill.” She came to Friday’s casting to see if another film was in her future. “In life, the important thing is to not let opportunity pass you by,” Adams said. “Hollywood came to Durango — life doesn’t get any better than that.” Adams drove from Los Angeles for the audition. Danelle Miller, 50, and her daughters April, 29, and Shawna, 21, drove about eight hours to come to the casting. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing — it wouldn’t hurt to try it out,” April Miller said. Patrick Valentine, 63, said that at 400 pounds, “I feel like a dwarf with all of these tall guys out here.” Still, he was hopeful he would stand out. “I’m retired, so I have a lot of time on my hands. I admire the Johnny Depp films,” Valentine said. Some came out to see if their odd features might score them a role. “I have one of the listed
oddities: I have a wandering eye,” said Karen Forest, 46, of Durango. “I’ve never done anything like this before. I’m just curious to see if I’ll get in.” The process was quick. Each person filled out a registration card, attached his or her photo and briefly met with casting agents. Those who prepared an audition were disappointed to hear that they were not able to show off their talents. “I prepared a quick routine, I didn’t know that it was just in and out,” Evergreen resident Brandon Poole said. “Not only did I prepare this awesome routine, but I’m also very flexible,” Poole said. “I think that if they saw that, I would totally get a role as an extra.” Alessi said, “We tried our best to keep the line really short. It’s not serious; it’s not an audition. It’s just something for us to see what’s out there,” “Mostly, I need people

who are local to Moab and Creede,” Alessi said. “Not everyone from Durango is going to get the job, but we are also looking for a lot of Native American men.” The company said on Friday that all roles won’t be cast until mid-May. Casting agents will quickly travel to Alamosa for the next round of open casting at 10 a.m. Sunday at the Adams State College Theater. “I wish we could stay longer, Durango is such a beautiful town,” Alessi said. The Four Corners Film Office assisted in the organization of the open casting call. “It was really exciting,” said Dave Welz, the film office coordinator. “I can’t believe that so many people came out to audition — I guess hearing Johnny Depp will do that. “It’s our mission to try to attract production to this area and support them when they come here. Production brings a huge economic impact to the community.” He said the publicity the region gets from being in a big-budget film has significant economic benefits. Throughout the open casting, which took place from 2 to 7 p.m. Friday at FLC, Sande Alessi Casting collected donations for local charity Relay for Life, which benefits the American Cancer Society. “We’re going to support Relay for Life because it supports local people, cancer research and hopefully gets more people to get involved in awareness,” Alessi said. “We’re just asking people to donate a dollar or whatever change is in their pocket.” The event will take place July 23 at Fort Lewis College.

He has been with the district since 2001 as assistant principal and principal, and as a director in special education. He has a Master of Arts from Adams State College and a Bachelor of Arts from Colorado Mesa University. ■■ Dr. Jody Mimmack is the current Chief Academic Officer of Instruction in Grand Junction, where she has also served as assistant principal and principal in the high school and middle school in that district. She has a doctorate in Education Leadership from the University of Denver, and earned both Masters of Arts and Bachelors of Arts in Special Education from the University of Northern Colorado. ■■ Dr. M. Neil Terhune has been the superintendent of Carbon County School District in Rawlings, Wyo. since 2007. He has also held positions as principal and superintendent in Harem Public Schools in Wyoming since 1999. Terhune has also served in the United States Army and Marine Corps from 1976 to 1999, retiring as a major. He holds a doctorate in Educational Leadership from Montana
State University and a Master of Science from Missouri State University. The new superintendent will be charged with finding a principal for the high school. Mary Rubadeau was hired as the interim superintendent in late January. According to Secretary to the Superintendent Linda Diffendaffer, applications are available for those who wish to participate in the interview process for a permanent superintendent for Re-1. Applicants will be notified by March 29. A training session will be held on April 10 and interviews will be conducted on April 14. Principal search reopened After one delayed interview process in February, and rescheduled interviews and reception for the community to meet and greet candidates in March, the job is still open. By March 12 three final candidates had been selected for the final interviews. M-CHS’ Ed Rice, Tom Meyer of Iowa and David Gerber of Arizona all interviewed for the principal position. An offer was made to Meyer, but he had a change of heart and he declined the offer. According to Diffendaffer, Meyer and his wife ultimately decided not to relocate to the Cortez area. Other than Meyer, the interviewing committee of Re-1 staff and one tribal liaison decided to re-open the search. “We’re going to re-open it until it’s filled,” Diffendaffer said. “It will be a responsibility for the new superintendent.” Reach Brandon Mathis at brandonm@cortezjournal. com

Travis. In the alcove, a castle of gritty blocks sit to the side as exhibit specialists Tim Hovezak and Gary Ethridge quietly walk through the ruins. Hovezak said parts of the site are indeed showing signs of change. He and his fellow park archaeologist are finishing their annual examination, looking for possible new deterioration. “We’re paying attention to portions of the site that are moving,” he said. “The kind of movement we’re looking at is incremental, it’s nothing catastrophic.” They both agreed the structure looks good for now. “We can have things move and move to the point where they become unstable, so there is a safety concern there,” Hovezak said. Mesa Verde has 4,700 archaeological sites, 600 of which are cliff dwellings. During the months of April and May, a heavy tourist season, hourly guided tours of the Cliff Palace bring up to 60 visitors an hour from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., adding up to 480 visitors a day. That means 28,800 people bring their weight close to the fragile structures. That’s a lot of stomping around on a platform that was built of mud and rock in 1160. According to Travis, the monitored kiva is at a far end of the site and is a popular stopping place for tours. For this year, the kiva has been stabilized but crowds will be restricted to how close they can get, according to Ethridge. Travis said that another factor leading to the site’s moving, is the floor’s foundation underneath the structures. When Cliff Palace was reportedly first seen by two Mancos cowboys looking for lost cattle in 1891, it was largely rubble and it’s likely that it was constructed on a similar uneven surface of loose rock and dirt. He said that the early archaeologists didn’t consider excavating deeper, but were interested in preserving the site itself. “Here, because of the work that was done in these sites, the idea was to excavate not to go to bedrock, but to prepare them for what they are now — an exhibit,” Travis said. He added that reconstruction has occurred in several areas of the site for exhibit purposes.
despite a possible conflict of interest. The conflict resulted because another attorney in Bogan’s office represented a possible Hampson-case witness in another, unrelated case. Few details have been released in the circumstances surrounding Hayes’ death. Although a public file containing procedural documents surrounding the case is available for viewing, documents detailing the incident remain sealed to the public by judge’s order.

in the public file, Hampson was treated for a wound to the hand after the incident. Investigators sought Hampson’s medical records to see if the wound on the hand was consistent with a straight-edge razor. The handle of such a razor was found at the scene of the crime, but a blade was not recovered. Hampson is charged with first-degree murder and four sentence enhancing counts pertaining to crime of violence and habitual criminal.

Four Seasons Greenhouse wins SW award Four Seasons Greenhouse and Nursery of Cortez joined the ranks of the horticulture industry’s top independent garden centers when it was named the winner of the Southwest Region of the Today’s Garden Center Magazine’s Revolutionary 100 List for 2012. This is the sixth year in a row that the business has been named to the prestigious Revolution 100 list and the second time they have been named as a regional winner, according to a written statement from Four Seasons. In 2009 they were named the winner of the Western Region, then a change in the way the geographic distribution was made moved Four Seasons into the Southwest Region. The program, now in its seventh year, surveys independent garden center owners and managers and culminates in a listing of the 100 most revolutionary garden centers in the nation. It is open to all independent garden centers, large and small, and is based on leadership and innovation, not on size or revenue. “This list is comprised of the very best garden centers in our industry and it’s always an honor to be included on the list. This year it’s especially so because of the added distinction of winning our region,” Vic Vanik, owner of Four Seasons, said in the written statement. He joked, “We’re the only garden center on the list that’s won two different regions without having ever moved the store!” Garden center owners and managers across the United States fill out an extensive online questionnaire covering topics such as customer and community service, management philosophy, marketing, use of technology, purchasing and profitability. The country is divided into five geographic areas and a regional winner is selected from each of those areas. The Southwest Region includes Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and Oklahoma. Vanik said, “During the past year many small businesses have faced a challenging environment and their ability to change and adapt have been vital keys to their success. We began changing our business model several years ago and it has worked beautifully. For a garden center in a rural part of the country, we are so pleased to continue to be included on this list. And to take top honors in our region when you’re competing against garden centers in markets like Denver, Phoenix, and Dallas ... that’s pretty special.” “The garden centers that made this year’s list are an exceptional group of forward-thinking independent retailers who thrived during a tough economy, which helps their community,” said Today’s Garden Center Editor Carol Miller. “We are proud to call them revolutionary.” Vanik’s wife, Gail, was flown to Atlanta in January to accept the award on behalf of Four Seasons. “It’s always a thrill to be included on this list, but to be able to spend time learning from some of the best in our industry each year is a bonus. To be named the best in our region is an additional honor.” The 2012 Revolutionary 100 Awards program is sponsored by one of the industry’s premier garden center events, the IGC Show. More information on the Revolutionary 100, including the complete listing, can be found in the January issue of Today’s Garden Center Magazine and at www.Revolutionary100.com.

Business warms up 2011 sales tax results plus approaching summer bring increased optimism to Cortez business community
By Brandon Mathis Journal Staff Writer
Journal/Sam Green
Jessica Sutherland checks out a duck at Big R recently. Like many Cortez businesses, Big R saw a sales increase in 2011 over 2010.
Just about everywhere you look in Cortez, business is on the rise. Total sales tax was up 2.26 percent overall from 2010 to 2011, according to city of Cortez Finance Director Kathi Moss. Big R manager Tim Weyers said he noticed a steady increase from 2010 at his store. “We’re not tremendously up, but we’re there,” Weyers said. The increase in business has Weyers looking forward to the months ahead. “It looks like it could be a good summer,” he said. The numbers tell the story, and it’s an easy one to read. According to the year-end sales tax report, every 2011 month showed an increase from the previous year, with the exception of June, which was down 1.03 percent.

Report takes hospitals’ pulse By Heather Scofield Durango Herald Staff Writer DURANGO — There really isn’t a middle ground for the hospital business in Colorado. Hospitals are either reporting strong profit margins or struggling to scrape by, according to a recently released report. To estimate state hospitals’ profits, Allan Baumgarten, who compiles the profit data in his Colorado Health Market Review analyzed data filed by the hospitals with the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The hospitals report patient revenues, expenses, number of days a patient utilizes a facility, patient discharges and income. “I generally agree with (the report’s) findings,” said Brett Gosney, chief executive officer of Animas Surgical Hospital in Durango.
M e rc y M e d ic al Ce nte r e ncour ag es c ar i ng Caring for the community, Mercy Regional Medical Center executives stress, has been an integral part of the hospital’s mission since it was founded in 1882. Much of the care it provides is not reimbursed. Today, the hospital not only provides medical services to those who need it and cannot afford to pay, but it also encourages employee volunteerism and donates cash and gifts to local nonprofits and community organizations that promote physical and spiritual health and wellness. From July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011, the hospital reports: ■■ $8 million in community benefits were
provided, with much of that going to caring for uninsured and under-insured patients. ■■ $3.17 million in charity care was provided. ■■ $4.91 million in indigent care and care for under-insured Medicaid recipients was provided. ■■ $120,000 in nonbilled health services were provided communitywide. ■■ $6.7 million in unreimbursed costs associated with treating Medicare patients was absorbed. Source: Mercy Regional Medical Center
Most Colorado hospitals reported strong profit margins in 2010. HealthOne saw $383 million in net income. Centura Health took in $54 million. Consolidation efforts gave them stronger economies of scale to keep costs down and more leverage to draw bigger payments from insurance companies, Colorado Public News reported. The report highlights the results from large hospital systems, including Centura Health, the corporate structure that includes Mercy Regional Medical Center. But independent, rural hospitals and those that treat people with public-insurance policies such as Medicaid and Medicare aren’t faring as well, according to news reports. “The general trend for all hospitals is that costs have gone up and reimburse-

IRS: Conspiracy bilks tribe By DON THOMPSON Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Internal Revenue Service has moved to seize 23 properties, including vacation homes in Lake Tahoe and Maui, as part of an investigation into fraudulent billing practices against a casino-operating Indian tribe in Northern California, according to court documents made public Wednesday. Complaints filed late March 20 in federal court in Sacramento say a developer, the administrator of the United Auburn Indian Community and a tribal quality-control contractor conspired to bilk the tribe out of more than $18 million by inflating bills. The bills were related to a construction project that included new headquarters for the tribe, which operates the Thunder Valley casino in Lincoln, a suburb of Sacramento. The civil forfeiture complaints allege the building contractor paid more than $7 million in kickbacks to the tribe’s quality control contractor. The government says the quality control employee used part of the money to buy tribal administrator Gregory Baker a Lake Tahoe vacation home and an in-ground pool at his home in Newcastle, 30 miles northeast of Sacramento. Baker’s attorney, Tom Johnson, denied wrongdoing and emphasized that no criminal charges have been filed in the case. “It’s just a civil lawsuit. Like any other civil lawsuits, people can say a lot of things that simply aren’t true,” he said. “They’ve been investigating for several years, and there’s no criminal indictment.” Lauren Horwood, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said federal prosecutors are continuing their investigation. Tribal spokesman Doug Elmets said Baker was placed on leave Wednesday while the contract with the quality-control expert, Darrell Hinz, ended several years ago. Hinz’s attorney, William Portanova, also noted that no criminal charges had been filed against his client. “Just because the numbers are big, doesn’t necessarily mean that there’s
something illegal,” he said. Federal prosecutors say the 23 properties were acquired illegally with money from the kickbacks. They also moved to seize other assets, including bank accounts, stock shares and a 2010 Mercedes-Benz. Any assets seized by the government should be returned to the tribe if they were obtained through fraud, Elmets said. The complaint says the tribe originally signed contracts worth more than $16.5 million with Bart Volen of Lincoln to complete the building project at its administration offices in Auburn. But it says the tribe wound up paying nearly $42.7 million for the work, much of which went for inflated change orders. Volen’s attorney, Matt Jacobs, said he could not comment. Baker approved the change orders, according to an affidavit filed by IRS special agent Daniel M. Norman. Johnson, Baker’s attorney, said the tribe “was very, very happy with it. They were happy with the amount of money they paid; they were very happy with the result.” He said the tribe and Thunder Valley have flourished in the eight years since Baker became administrator, growing into one of California’s most profitable casinos. Volen subcontracted the work to another firm, which is not implicated in the complaints. The subcontractor sent Volen change orders worth $6 million, but the government says Volen submitted $24 million in inflated invoices to the tribe for payment. Of about 180 change orders he submitted between late 2006 and early 2008, the government says about 169 included overcharges. For instance, the subcontractor billed $40,217 for paving work, but the tribe paid $1.9 million, according to the government filings. Other times, the IRS affidavit says Volen or his associates simply changed numbers in the subcontractors’ invoices. For example, a “4” was altered into a “9,” or a “2” or “3” was added in the thousands column to an invoice that originally was for hundreds of dollars.

NEW YORK — Apple is finally acknowledging that it has more money than it needs. But don’t expect it to cut prices on iPhones and iPads. Instead, the company said on Monday that it will reward its shareholders with a dividend and a stock buyback program. Apple, the world’s most valuable publicly traded company, sits on $97.6 billion in cash and securities. The company has stockpiled the cash through a combination of great ideas and prudence. Apple spends money, to be sure, building data centers, buying parts for its products and pursuing ambitious projects such as a new 2.8-million-square-foot headquarters that has been likened to a spaceship. It also invests in the research and development of new technology and negotiates an occasional acquisition. But Apple simply hasn’t managed to spend its earnings faster than people are lining up to buy its iPads, iPhones and other gadgets. The decision to return some of that money to investors is a clear signal that Apple is taking a different approach in the post-Jobs era. Former CEO Steve Jobs resisted calls to issue dividends for years. He argued that the money was better used to give Apple maneuvering room to acquire other companies, for instance. Apple did pay a quarterly dividend between 1987 and 1995, but
Jobs was not involved with the company at the time. Jobs died in October after a long fight with cancer. Since then, pressure had been mounting on new CEO Tim Cook. Apple’s ever-growing pile of cash was earning a paltry amount of interest and the fact that it was sitting there unused could have left the company open to charges of mismanagement and possible shareholder lawsuits. On Monday, Cook said that, with as much cash as Apple has on hand, a dividend won’t restrain the company’s options. “These decisions will not close any doors for us,” he told analysts and reporters on a conference call. Indeed, Apple can afford it. The dividend, which should placate shareholders, will cost about $10 billion the first year. Apple generated $31 billion in cash in the fiscal year that ended in September and analysts expect it to add another $70 billion to $85 billion this year. Apple said it will pay a quarterly dividend of $2.65 per share, starting in its fiscal fourth quarter, which begins July 1. The dividend works out to $10.60 annually, or 1.8 percent of the current stock price. Although Microsoft Corp. pays 2.5 percent of its stock price in dividends, and Hewlett-Packard Co. pays 2 percent, analyst Tavis McCourt at Morgan Keegan said Apple’s dividend is relatively generous for a large technology company.

A window washer works atop the cube-like structure of glass that houses the Apple Store showroom in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in July 2011. This March 19, Apple Inc. announced the outcome of its internal discussion concerning its enormous cash balance. Energy and phone companies often pay dividends worth more than 5 percent of their stock price. In absolute terms, Apple will pay one of the richest dividends in the U.S. The roughly $10 billion it will
spend in its first year, places it just below companies including AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., which are among the biggest spenders because they use dividends as their main way to attract investors.
‘Carter’ makes galactic flop By RYAN NAKASHIMA AP Business Writer LOS ANGELES — “John Carter” is now officially a flop of galactic proportions. The Walt Disney Co. said Monday that it expects to book a loss of $200 million on the movie in the quarter through March. That ranks it among Hollywood’s all-time biggest money-losers.
Directed by Pixar’s Andrew Stanton, the 3-D effects-laden movie about a Civil War veteran transplanted to Mars was already headed to the “Red Ink Planet,” according to Cowen & Co. analyst Doug Creutz. Yet he expected a write-down of about half that size. Disney said “John Carter” has brought in about $184 million in ticket sales world-
wide so far. But ticket sales are split roughly in half with theater owners. The movie’s production budget is estimated to be about $250 million with about $100 million more spent on marketing. The movie was based on a series of books written by the late Edgar Rice Burroughs, starting with “A Princess of Mars” in 1912 and ending with “John Carter of Mars,”
published posthumously in 1964. There was plenty of material for sequels and prequels but they seem highly unlikely now. With a 51 percent “Tomatometer” rating on movie site Rotten Tomatoes, the film got average reviews, though AP Movie Critic Christy Lemire called it “massively confusing” and “deadly dull.”

People can focus on prevention From Page 1B ment payments have gone down,” Gosney said. “It has been an ongoing challenge for a number of years.” And for hospitals such as Animas Surgical Center, which accepts all payers, regardless of what their insurance is or if they even have insurance at all, the struggle has been greater. All told, about a dozen Colorado hospitals are losing money, according to the Colorado Hospital Association. A few found themselves hundreds of millions of dollars short as 2010 was drawing to a close, and it took deeppocket donors to pull them out of the red. It’s a stark example of why “dominant systems have taken over” the hospital business in recent years, Gosney said. Stronger negotiating powers and bigsystem cost-sharing abilities that come with greater economies of scale have increasingly become crucial to having a healthy bottom line. “Denver is a really typical example of what the dynamics in the hospital marketplace are,” he said. “The merger concept has been very active, and it’s really accelerating now.” Joe Pedly, chief financial officer for Mercy Regional Medical Center, agreed
and said without the financing and purchasing leverage Centura’s big system provides, the hospital wouldn’t be faring as well as it has in recent years. The hospital benefits particularly, and maybe ironically, in health-insurance cost savings for its employees, he said. Mercy Regional Medical Center ended 2010 with $10 million in net income a report said. Pedly said 2011 numbers were similar. The hospital definitely has had some bad years, though, he said. “The margins are so fragile in the hospital business,” Pedly said. The number of independent hospitals continues to fall with each passing year as major hospital systems take over. Of Colorado’s 27 hospitals, only six remain independent. Mercy Regional Medical Center’s merger with Centura last spring is an example. Meanwhile, many smaller hospitals are fighting to stay in the black — particularly in the face of impending health-care reform rules that will affect both providers and insurers. Insurers already are “preparing for battle” and “aggressively raising rates,” to combat the effects of health-care reform, even though much of the
reform’s rules won’t be implemented until 2014, Gosney said. As more people are added to Medicaid under the new rules and federal help with the increased costs tapers off in the coming years, Gosney said hospitals such as Animas Surgical Center must consider “how much can we absorb?” The once-bloated healthcare and hospital systems in the state and nation have stripped much of the “fat” that previously kept costs high, he said. “We must make the jump from very efficient to hyper-efficient,” he said. Gosney predicted many rural hospitals will shutter in the coming years because they are unable to cope with the situation. For Gosney’s hospital, which treats a rapidly growing population of active baby boomers on Medicaid who need expensive procedures to keep them active and healthy, such as total knee and hip replacements, concerns are mounting that federal reimbursements will fall further from covering costs or won’t cover the procedures at all. “We’ve all heard the politicians talking about Medicare being bankrupt in 20 years,” Gosney said. “That’s real stuff.”
warms
His advice to locals and the hospital’s plans for the future: “We will continue to do our best to have a terrific hospital, but the best thing people can do is be focused on prevention and try to stay out of the hospital.” Pedly echoed the need for locals to be focused on prevention, saying it’s important people “take charge of their health,” listen to their doctors, take prescribed medications and generally have healthful lifestyle habits. But he worries less about the impending health care reforms and the future of federal programs. Pedly thinks the future of Medicare and Medicaid remains in the voters’ hands, and people will not let important benefits and programs be cut. Also, unlike many hospitals in the nation that will see payments and revenue decline under the new rules because of new policies that will penalize hospitals with lower-quality facilities and services, Mercy likely will see a slight increase, he said. “We’re in a better position than other hospitals today because of the quality care we provide,” Pedly said.
Home sales show rebound By DEREK KRAVITZ AP Real Estate Writer
WASHINGTON — U.S. home sales are gradually coming back. A mild winter and a stronger job market have helped boost sales ahead of the crucial spring buying season. The past two months made up the best winter for sales of previously occupied homes in five years, when the housing crisis began. And the sales pace in January was the highest since May 2010, the last month that buyers could qualify for a federal home-buying tax credit. February sales dipped only slightly to a seasonally adjusted 4.59 million, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday. That’s 13 percent higher than the sales pace last July and just below the revised 4.63 million in January. Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, said the lower February’s numbers “should not detract from the key point, which is that sales are trending upward.” The sales pace remains far below the 6 million that economists equate with healthy markets. And the number of firsttime buyers, who are critical to a housing recovery, continues to lag normal levels, while foreclosures remain high. Still, Summer Greene, a ReColorado Public News altor in Fort Lauderdale, said contributed to this report. she’s getting multiple offers for listings. That’s been rare since the housing market went bust in South Florida. “People don’t want to wait on the sidelines anymore and the change is very noticeable,” Greene said. “There’s definitely been a mood shift.” The median sales prices of homes rose for the first time in four months in February, to $156,600. And the supply this particular economy,” of homes on the market inshe said. “People come in on the bus more and get dropped off and spend money with our local retailers, where if they were driving in cars they would tend to drive right through to their destination.” Guttridge said that lodging reservations start picking up as soon as the sun starts sticking around. “It usually right before spring break,” Guttridge said. “People get spring fever and start making plans and reservations.”
Business draws shoppers from around region From Page 1B Moss said the numbers can get skewed due to the difference between actual vendor sales and when they pay their sales tax. If a vendor is late, the numbers are off. January 2011 was the best sales tax month with total sales tax over $842,400, up 2.2 percent. February, the lowest month of the year at $598,000, was still up almost 10 percent from 2010. June brought in $740,807, nearly $8,000 less than the previous year. July, at the height of the summer tourism season, rose 3 percent over 2010 to $820,000. August was down just 0.9 percent while September saw a 4.2 percent bump. Moss said it’s a little tricky to follow the numbers month to month, as vendor monthly sales reports may differ with when sales tax is collected. She said sales tax from one month trickles in to the following month, which is a big reason why January is the highest producing month. There are ways to read numbers to predict upcoming months, said Dena Guttridge, director of the Cortez Area Chamber of Commerce.
“Whatever the trend with auto sales, everything else seems to follow suit and it was drastically up,” Guttridge said. Up more than 12 percent over 2010. Moss was quick to point out that a good portion of auto related tax revenues come from registration fees and is hard to pin down per month since people have different times of getting tags. The chamber is hoping for a good summer, based on the 2011 reports, Guttridge said. Restaurant sales curve up along with the mercury as visitors flock into the Four Corners — as do retail goods and services. July and August numbers were down in auto sales tax and home improvement dollars. July was down 11.5 percent and August 6.65 percent in auto sales tax while home improvement was down about 7.5 percent between the two months. The numbers evened out with a sharp 7 percent spike in retail goods and services for July and 1.3 percent rise in August from big box stores like Walmart, City Market and Safeway. Restaurants hit their high mark at more than $92,000 in sales tax for August.
As spring winds blow in, so do the visitors. From May through September, Cortez saw plenty of guests passing through its business district. Glenn and Gregg Leighton own Notah Dineh. The brothers sell Native American art at their downtown Cortez location, and it’s been their family’s business for more than 50 years. “Fall is a strong season, but we get all the summer travelers,” Leighton said. “There’s just so many attractions here. You’ve got mountain bikers going to Moab (Utah) or the mountains, plus everything that’s right Reach Brandon Mathis at here. People like the archae- brandonm@cortezjournal. ology and need a gift to take com home.” Leighton said his specialty business also draws Native American shoppers from Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, especially in summer. “It’s nice here,” Leighton said. “People come up from the desert. They like to come up here, especially in the summer. The parks are pretty darn busy if you look at them. It’s all part of our economy.” Guttridge said soaring gas prices may not be a bad thing for the area come sum10-year fixed mertime. Home Refinance Loan “When gas prices rise it’s usually not a bad thing for
creased more than 4 percent in February to 2.43 million, which could signal that more homeowners became confident in the housing market. There have been other signs of improvement in the depressed housing market. Homebuilders have grown more confident in the past six months after seeing more people express interest in buying a home. In February, they requested the most permits to build homes since October 2008. Mortgage rates are near record lows. And the supply of homes fell in January to its lowest level in seven years. A lower supply helps push up prices, which lures more sellers onto the market and generally improves the quality of homes for sale. Rising prices also boost sales because buyers want to invest in homes that are appreciating in value. A key reason for the brighter housing outlook is the job market has strengthened. From December through February, employers added an average of 245,000 jobs a month. The unemployment rate has fallen to 8.3 percent, the lowest in three years. Still, economists caution that the damage from the housing bust is deep and the industry is years away from fully recovering. Sales among first-time buyers, who are critical to a housing recovery, fell slightly last month to 32 percent of all purchases. That’s down from 33 percent in January. In healthy markets, first-time buyers make up at least 40 percent. And homes at risk of foreclosure made up 34 percent of sales, down only slightly from 35 percent in January. In more stable markets, foreclosures make up less than 10 percent of sales.

One Big Happy
Procrastinator won’t cut ties with past wife
Dilbert
Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Dear Annie: I have been with “Tony” for three years. When I started seeing him, I didn’t realize he was still legally married to a woman who cheated on him. He promised to divorce, but things remain the same. He claims “it’s just a piece of paper” and we are married in our hearts. I’ve tried explaining that it feels disrespectful, but he doesn’t get it. Tony and his wife wanted to avoid court, so they drew up papers with a mediator. But each time she sends them, he finds she has hidden something that goes against what they agreed, and he refuses to sign until the papers are fixed. But Tony always waits for her to make the next move. In the past, whenever he pushed for resolution, she made it difficult for him to see their children. It annoys me that Tony doesn’t try harder to end this. Worse, he and his wife still have a joint checking account. He keeps saying he’ll close it, but he hasn’t. Tony is a known procrastinator, but I am hurt and frustrated. Enough is enough. I don’t want to throw away what we have, but I’m beginning to resent him and his promises. I think the only way he will open his eyes is if I leave. But I love him, and our family is happy together. Am I being unreasonable? -- Tired of Waiting
Non Sequitur
Dear Tired: Tony doesn’t want to rock the boat and figures you’ll stick it out. But it could take a long time, and his wife enjoys holding the puppet strings. (And there is absolutely no excuse to be sharing a bank account.) Tony needs to see a lawyer who will establish visitation rights and make sure the wife sticks to the agreement. If he refuses, it is your choice whether your life is better with him or without him. Dear Annie: I am a high school junior and attend a competitive school. I make good grades, and my parents have always been supportive. I recently scored a 212 on the PSAT, which is terrific. But when I told my mom the results, she seemed disappointed. She said in order to be considered for a National Merit Scholarship, my score has to be over 215. She shows no pride in my accomplishment. I’ve expressed to her how disheartening this is, but she simply restates that I need a higher score for the scholarship. Annie, my family is not financially needy. I am more than capable of getting into a good school and finding other ways to get scholarships. Is she right to be so unenthusiastic? -- Feeling Unappreciated
Blondie
Dear Feeling: We’re not sure why your mother is so convinced you didn’t qualify. The PSAT score required to be a National Merit Scholarship finalist varies from year to year, state to state. Last year’s winning score may not be this year’s, and the results won’t be out until September. We think she may be afraid of jinxing you, and that’s why she has put a damper on her excitement. So from us: Way to go! Dear Annie: We love your column. But why would you tell “Hurt and Confused in Wisconsin” to make nice with her malicious, cruel stepmother-in-law? It’s OK to try to mend family rifts if the offenders will meet you halfway. But if the abuse is going to continue, the only good route is to turn both cheeks and walk away. Life can be sweeter without rotten in-laws, parents, children and stepparents. Keep the good ones, and toss the toxic trash. I tell ‘em: “Have a nice life,” and I truly wish them well. But we owe it to ourselves to have mostly positive people in our lives. -- The Villages, Fla. Dear Fla.: A good point, but we didn’t tell her to “make nice.” We said her husband can try a last-ditch effort to mend things by asking his father and stepmother to go with him for counseling. We’ll stand by that.
