Cibola hospital crisis spurs recall threat
Jim Tiffin
Staff Writer
GRANTS — The medical community and residents warned the county
commission they will actively oppose its Jan. 30 lawsuit filed
against Cibola General Hospital, including possible recall of
commissioners.
The county placed a legal notice in the Albuquerque Journal Sunday
inviting bids for purchase of the hospital, prompting a standing
room only crowd of about 75 people for the board meeting Monday.
Eighteen area physicians, pharmacists, optometrists and other
health care providers in the Grants area presented a signed letter
to the board accusing the commissioners of a "violation of
the trust given to them by the voters of this county."
Dr. David Pitts, an internal medicine specialist, presented the
letter.
After the meeting Pitts said: "We've been here for 10 years
and there have been tremendous changes in our medical facility,
we stuck it out.
"If it (the hospital) is altered in its administration or
management, or closes, we will see people suffer and die.
"And this all because the county commissioners see an ability
to take health care dollars and put them toward a county jail."
The letter presented by Pitts stated during two meetings, Dec.
16 and 23, 2002 both Ulibarri and county employee Bob Ewell told
members of the hospital board of trustees that the funds from
the hospital will be used to pay interest on the loan payments
for the new jail, which was recently awarded Jaynes Corp. of Albuquerque
for nearly $6 million.
The letter also stated: "The tragedy of this situation is
that the County Commissioners are spending our tax dollars to
sue our County Hospital Corporation. This in turn requires the
hospital corporation to use funds that were earmarked for improvements
and equipment necessary to benefit the health care of the county
residents," to counter the lawsuit.
"The diversion of these funds, and federal funds, to any
purpose other than health care for the county residents will jeopardize
the continued operation of our hospital and indeed may be illegal."
During an emotional presentation during the meeting, Ray Jenkins,
of Grants, said the only reason the commission was going after
hospital funds is to "cover up the ineptitude of the board."
He said if the commission continues with its lawsuit a recall
effort will be launched. People in the room and hallway erupted
into applause at the comment.
Recall as a solution to ending the lawsuit was echoed after the
meeting by several people as they were standing in the hall discussing
the situation.
In the hallway, Dr. Monique Gibson said if the county became successful
in taking over the hospital or selling it she intended to end
her admitting privileges there.
"I cannot speak for all of the physicians here, but I am
sure several of them will also cancel admitting privileges, and
with no patients being admitted, they will not have much of a
hospital," she said.
Gibson also said the county will lose the federal sole provider
funds from the federal government if it sells the hospital.
"And that's the funds they are after," she said.
Hospital CEO Vince Ashley said he wasn't expecting to see the
notice in the Albuquerque Journal Sunday that the county was seeking
bids to sell the hospital.
The legal notice was placed only in the Journal and gives bidders
until Feb. 20 to submit bids to purchase the hospital.
"We are only looking at all of our options," County
Manager David Ulibarri said.
'We are only trying to get enough information to provide options
to the county commissioners to make a viable decision about the
hospital. It says right in the notice that the county can reject
any or all bids," he said.
MaryLee Meisner, of Grants, a teacher at Los Alamitos Middle School,
told the board it is putting health care in the county in jeopardy.
"How can you sit there and tell me that you are suing me
with my tax dollars, for my tax dollars?" she asked.
After those who wanted to address the board about the hospital
finished their comments, Commissioner Bennie Cohoe told the audience
the commissioners have certain responsibilities to constituents
whether those in the room agreed with that or not.
In response to the letter and the threat of a recall effort Board
Chairman Isaac Padilla said: "I welcome anyone from the county
to run for public office, and sit in this chair and make these
decisions.
"Every once in awhile everyone gets riled up over an issue
then it dies down."
The hospital filed a counterclaim Feb. 3 to the nearly $4 million
lawsuit filed by the county
The county's suit alleges the hospital board of trustees had not
paid "net profits" to the county for the past seven
years in breach of a management agreement between the two entities.
The counterclaim denies all allegations and asks the court for
a temporary injunction to be followed by a permanent injunction
prohibiting the county from interfering with or being able to
gain funds from the hospital.
The claim also asks the court to prohibit the termination of the
hospital board and that the court rule in favor of the hospital
stating it is not in default of a management agreement.
Board Chairwoman Patti McClure, said previously, "We are
sympathetic to the county's financial position but we can't fix
it for them."
She also has been reported saying that if the county wins the
suit the hospital closes.

Get MADD about DWIs, planners say
Larry Di Giovanni
Staff Writer
CROWNPOINT — The Navajo Nation can use a proactive approach to
combat the continual onslaught of tragedies and their victims created
by DUI-related accidents and fatalities, says reservation resident
Diane Porter.
Starting with a weekful of kickoff events slated to begin Monday,
Feb. 24 in the Crownpoint High School gymnasium, Porter and a group
of about eight other adults — mostly mothers — plan to become
part of the solution. They are forming a local Mothers Against Drunk
Driving (MADD) Chapter and are encouraging all area adults and students
to join their cause.
"We're hoping that this will be the first (MADD Chapter) on the
Navajo Nation and that other towns on the reservation will follow
suit," Porter said.
The kickoff week to pursue national recognition of a local MADD Chapter
will start Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. with a "Navajo Nation-MADD Proclamation
Week"ceremony in the Crownpoint High gym. Navajo President Joe
Shirley Jr., who met in mid January with group organizers, is scheduled
to take part. The proclamation ceremony will be followed by a fund-raiser
luncheon that Porter hopes will be attended by at least 200 people.
The luncheon will be prepared courtesy of culinary arts students who
attend the Crownpoint Institute of Technology.
Porter said it is somewhat remarkable that a MADD Chapter hasn't been
proposed on the Navajo Nation until now, given what a serious problem
alcoholism and DUIs are here and in border towns such as Gallup. Crownpoint
alone has the unfortunate recent history of being the site of a harrowing
Halloween crash that left children the victims after the car they
were traveling in to go trick-or-treating was hit while entering —
of all places — the Crownpoint Indian Health Service Hospital.
Crownpoint is also the home of the infamous Lloyd Larson — the
BIA employee who in a drunken driving spree while driving on the wrong
side of Interstate 40, plowed into the vehicle of and took the lives
of two Nebraska couples.
"We've learned that there's not even a MADD Chapter in Gallup,"
said Porter, who's a temporary employee under contract at the Crownpoint
IHS hospital. "That really surprised me. It's more of a close-knit
city."
Mothers Against Drunk Driving focuses on three goals: reducing the
incidences of drunk driving in communities through greater awareness
and preventive public education and outreach; assisting the victims
of drunk driving; and reducing underage drinking. Of the handful of
women and men from the Crownpoint area who are forming a local MADD
Chapter, Alberta Becenti is one to give much of the credit to, Porter
said. She cited Becenti, the Crownpoint hospital's director of Health
Promotions, as having "the initial vision" for the effort.
Porter is a former Crownpoint Institute of Technology dean, and was
acting in that capacity during Halloween evening when tragedy occurred.
She recalled how the students involved in causing the crash were some
of her own students, and how — because of little jail space —
they were released within four hours. One of the major problems confronting
all Navajo communities is what form of punishment is appropriate for
DUI offenders who cause tragedies, since a long-term jail sentence
is not a real option due to limited space.
At Crownpoint High School, students have a Teen Court that's showing
some success with alternative sentencing. In her own experience, Porter
said she has learned that mandatory counseling doesn't work unless
the person to be counseled "really wants the help." As a
worker at the Crownpoint IHS hospital, Porter has heard harrowing
tales of inebriated parents who send their children — youths
without a driver's license — into town to buy their booze. In
one recent case, Porter said the child driving without a driver's
license was urged to make a liquor run by his mother, who was in the
back seat. At CIT, Porter knew students "who were full-blown
alcoholics and some on their way."
The point is, alcoholism is a disease, and DUI tragedies are its most
unfortunate aftermath, a fact of reservation life, Porter said. A
MADD Chapter can start to make a dent in the problem if enough people
will join up. In order to move from a Level 1 organizing group to
Level 2 — a nationall recognized MADD Chapter — will require
getting at least 19 people to sign on, Porter said. The membership
fee is $20 per person. MADD provides funds for nationally recognized
chapters, which can be used to sponsor events.
For those interested in joining the Crownpoint MADD Chapter, Porter
can be reached at home, (505) 786-7231.
Other MADD Chapter kickoff activities scheduled the week of Feb. 24-28
will be:
Tuesday, Feb. 25: Public debate on DUI issues, 3:30 to 5 p.m. in CIT
multipurpose room, involving Crownpoint High School and CIT students
Wednesday, Feb. 26: Informational sessions, 8:30 a.m. to noon, Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome and impacts of DUI
Thursday, Feb. 27: Candlelight vigil, 6 p.m., Crownpoint Police Department
to Crownpoint Elementary School

Navajos oppose appointment of Ross Swimmer
Jim Maniaci
Diné Bureau
WINDOW ROCK — The Navajo Nation continues to oppose the appointment
of Ross Swimmer as the Special Trustee for American Indians in the
U.S. Interior Department because the country's largest tribe considers
him a traitor to Diné interests when the controversial Peabody
coal royalty rates were determined almost two decades ago.
In a press release Monday, Council Speaker Lawrence Morgan and President
Joe Shirley reminded that they sent letters last week to 17 of the
100 Senators — the six senators from the three states that include
the Navajo Reservation and members of the committee that will consider
the nomination.
In a press release Monday, the tribe restated its "strong opposition
to the appointment," according to Carolyn Calvin, Legislative
Branch press officer.
On Jan. 3, U.S. President George W. Bush announced he intended to
nominate Swimmer, of Oklahoma, and the U.S. Senate Indian Affairs
Committee is scheduled to consider it Wednesday.
Calvin said that in addition to Senators Pete Domenici and Jeff Bingaman
of New Mexico, John McCain and Jon Kyl of Arizona, Orrin Hatch and
Robert Bennett of Utah, the following senators received the Navajo
letters citing the 20th Navajo Nation Council's resolution adopted
in late January: Daniel Inouye, Lisa Murkowski, Ben Nighthorse Campbell,
James Inhofe, Craig Thomas, Maria Cantwell, Tim Johnson, Byron Dorgan,
Daniel Akaka, Harry Reid, Kent Conrad and Gordon Smith.
The Navajo leaders wrote they oppose Swimmer because of his "past
conduct which resulted in a breach of fiduciary duty to he Navajo
Nation in connection with the Peabody coal lease at Black Mesa while
he was the Assistant Secretary of Indian
Affairs at the United States Department of the Interior."
This is the position the tribe has maintained in a pair of $600 million
lawsuits against the Interior Department for when Donald Hodell was
secretary and against the St. Louis, Mo.-based, international coal
company. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule by the end of
June on the suit against the government in the case that will have
a tremendous impact on tribal-federal relations and possibly the U.S.
Treasury.
The letter continued, "Mr. Swimmer's favoritism for Peabody has
had tremendous effect on the Navajo people as a whole, resulting in
the loss of millions of dollars. As a result, Navajo people were robbed
of revenue that could have been used for services such as educational
scholarships and public safety."
In 1984, the tribe exercised its right to try to raise the initial
royalty rate for each ton of coal mined. The BIA Navajo Area (now
Region) Office in Gallup recommended 20 percent. But the tribe claims
Peabody got a friend of Hodell's to convince him to set it at 12.5
percent, the standard U.S. minimum. It had been less than 3 percent.
The letter called what happened interference and improper influence
"to the detriment of the Navajo Nation... (which) was force to
agree to a much lower royalty rate than had been determined (to be)
appropriate by the Secretary of the Interior's designee, the Navajo
Area Director.. (and) was forced to waive back taxes, back royalties
and future taxes. Due to Peabody's influence, the United States Government
was less than honest and candid in (its) dealings with the Navajo
government, Navajo officials and (the) Navajo people."
Morgan concluded Swimmer's record shows he would not act in his trust
beneficiaries best interest.
The press release said Sen. Campbell of Colorado already has expressed
his support for the Navajo position.
President Shirley, in Salt Lake City on Monday for the annual Utah
Legislature's Indian Day, was not available for additional comment.
Nor was Peabody available, as the statement was sent out after 5 p.m.

Speaker Morgan: Chapter independence
is possible
Jim Maniaci
Diné Bureau
WINDOW ROCK — The new Navajo Nation Council Speaker believes
if everyone bends just a little, the compromises will lead to many
more chapters being able to run their own operations independent of
the central government.
That has been a goal since former president Albert Hale's local empowerment
campaign became the Local Governance Act, perhaps the 18th Council's
most monumental piece of legislation.
When adopted in April 1998, the expectation was that within four years
all 110 chapters would be on their own. But progress has been slower
than a turtle in a winter storm. Only two small rural chapters —
and none of the urban ones with the most to gain financially for their
urban communities — have received their certificates from a council
Transportation-Community Development Committee.
New Speaker Lawrence Morgan should know as he was the 19th Council's
"T-CDC" chairman when Shonto of the Western Agency and Nahat'a
Dziil (New Lands) of the Fort Defiance Agency achieved the hard to
get approval of their five-part management system from then Auditor
General Elsie Benally. The Auditor General must make a recommendation
to the panel before it can consider granting an "LGA" certificate
to a chapter.
Morgan said in an interview Monday, "The chapters need to regroup
and have someone from a higher office assist them in getting their
papers together to submit" for approval.
He believes the Auditor General's checklist should be made public
and promoted so the chapters pushing for their certification know
what to expect.
Morgan also pointed to his platform to be elected speaker in which
he commits to having an accountant"for all the chapters."
Promising"to rebuild the trust with the chapters" he said,"This
entails some compromises by the T-CDC, some compromises by the Auditor
General and some compromises by the chapters."
The last week of the month is being targeted for a two or three-day
special session about the Water Rights Commission and the Statutory
Reform Convention proposed changes, mostly at the central government.
Morgan believes the biggest single problem facing the council is,
without a doubt, "the water issue."
He said that after water rights, "the secondary issue is the
drought that is facing us. If we wait until the spring to get ready,
it will be too late. We need to address this soon for the chapters."
Morgan represents the Iyanbito and Pinedale Chapters east of Gallup.
The new speaker said that by the end of next week, he should have
all his permanent staff appointments made. Already he has retained
Leonard Gorman as chief of staff and Randall Morgan as legislative
liaison, but added that Morgan's duties will be expanded.
He added he is as anxious to make the appointments as the delegates
are because they said during the winter session that they are eager
to work with the staff.
As the chief executive of the Legislative Branch, the speaker approves
— or rejects — committee requests to meet off the reservation.
Morgan said he will "scrutinize" such requests because "we
need to save as much as we can now because of those continuing resolutions."
The resolutions by Congress authorize a partial payment for a limited
time of federal funds for the current fiscal year based on a percentage
of last year's budget.
This causes repeated crises for the tribal departments which obtain
their money from Washington, D.C. During the winter session two weeks
ago, the council had to bail out the scholarship office and more than
1,000 Navajo college students.
Delegates approved dipping into the Undesignated Reserve Fund, an
emergency account that is supposed to contain about $55 million. With
the withdrawal — to be paid back when Congress finally approves
the budget half-way through the fiscal year — the account is
down to only $5 million.
The new speaker fears similar crises might bankrupt the fund.
Morgan, now 49, has been on the council continuously for 12 years
as part of a political career spanning almost two decades.
The father of five, whose oldest daughter is in the military reserves
and waiting deployment, was Pinedale Chapter manager from 1981-83,
chapter secretary-treasurer from 1983-87, chapter president from 1987-91
when he was elected to the council.
He served on the Government Services Committee before shifting over
to the "T-CDC." In 1975 he began two years of work as a
case eligibility worker for the tribal Social Services Division, then
was a community development specialist for the Southwest Indian Foundation
in Gallup.
Morgan also serves on the Wingate High School, Wingate Elementary
School, and Mariano Lake School boards of directors.
He has a son at the high school and a daughter at the middle schools
at Fort Wingate. His other two daughters are married.
The speaker is a 1972 Wingate High school graduate who also attended
Diné College and University of New Mexico-Gallup.
In his spare time he enjoys horses and eagerly participates in the
council's annual historic trail ride in which delegates and friends
spend about a week on a different trail each year, arriving at the
Navajo Nation Fairgrounds the day before the summer session begins
on the third Monday of July.
