During their meeting De- cember 21 in their cham- bers ill the Lincoln COUIlty courthousL' In Carrizozo, county commissioners heard from GaVllan Canyon Road resident Aubrey Dobbs who said the currpnt speed limIt of 30 miles per hou r is too fast. Dobbs who has lived along the road since 1970 said whpn hp first moved there Gavilan Canyon road was dirt and maybe thrpp or four cars carne by in a wepk's timp. Now at his last count. 300 cars an hour speed by hiS horne. "lIic traffic IS so bad I can't get across the road (to his lIvpsto('k pens)," Dobbs sal<j He said 35 miles per hou r was too fast for the southern portIon of the road that has ITlany tight curves.

legal."Our next step is to pres­

ent oral arguments andbriefs to the judge in thehearing," Valcarcel. "Wehave evidence to warrant acall for a grand jury. Allega­tions we have made in thepetition can be substanti­ated and do have sub­slance."

'We are using theinstrument-the grand ju'ry- .-provided by the New Mex­ico Constitution for citizensto get an investigation ofproblems," Valcarcel said.'We are not filing suit asindividuals...

As for the 450 people whosigned the petition, Valcar­eel said when his group cir­culated the petition, theydid not ask people if theywere registered voters. Andthey were not just lookingfor names to fill their peti­tion. Rather they wanted toexpose the citizens to theproblems with the hospitallease and give them oppor­tunity to protest.

Some people did not signthe petition because theywere afraid of personal re­prisals, Valcarcel added. Hesaid it would be "reprehen­sible" if the names of thepeople who signed the peti­tion are published or madepublic in order to humiliatethem. "If anyone gets hurtsby signing this petition Ithink someone should beheld personally responsi­ble."

Lincoln County Conunis­sioners. at a special meetingheld on 'I'uesday, January 2in their chambers in theLincoln County Courthousein Carrizozo, approved ofcounty attorney Morel hir­ing outside legal counsel,and authorized settingasitie $50,000 for legal fees.

The special meeting wasprimarily a closed to thepublic session faT countycommissioners to discusspending or threatened liti­gation with Morel. Artercou nty commissioners (RayNunley was present at themeeting over a speakerphone, all other memberswere physically present)returned. to open meeting,Morel recommended theeounty commission seekuutside legal counsel.

"Based on the wording onthe grand jury petition, Iam one of the officials whocould be included in theinvestigation," Morel said.Because of this, Morel saidhe could not represent thecounty.

He said the hearing, setfor January 18, will be ex·tremely important becauseit will establish whether ornot there is a criminal basisfor a grand jury. ''The broadlanguage on the grand jurypetition could include allfonner county commission*ers and other county offi­cials and individuals," Mo­rel said. "The language is sobroad."

Morel's legal services con­tract with the county allowshim to hire outside counselwhen needed. With thatcounty commissioner RickSimpson made the motionto allow the hiring of out·~ide counsel. But whe1;l the\,(,te was taken, countycorrunissioner Leo Martinezvoted no. Martinez thenasked county manager TOmStewart about the county'sfinances and its ability tccover legal costs.

Stewart said the county.after the mid..,year budgetadjustment approved at theDecember 21 rneeting,would have more than$150,000 above its requiredreserves. Of that countycommissioners authorizedabout $30,000 for a new fourwheel drive vehicle for thesheriffs office.

MOTel said if the petitionis not rejected by the judgein the first crucial hearing(on January 18), the countycan expect to spend at least$50,000 in legal fees for thegrand jury. Morel said any­one can submit evidence toand be a witness in thegrand jury. "It would not be

"We are looking at a leadtime of weeks· before weeven get to the members ofthe grand jury," Wilson ad­ded.

Chairman of the CitizensCommittee to Save OurHospital, Reynaldo Valcar­eel, told TFfE NEWS in atelephone interview, theintent of the petition is notto hurt anyone, regardlessof how it is being inter­preted. 'We had to get theattention of the Li~colnCounty Commission toshow our real concern forthe county's relationshipwith Presbyterian and itslease of Lincoln r"'untyMedical Center," he toldTHENEWS.I Valcarcel said he and oth­ers have repeatedly askedthe county commission toreconsider the PHS lease ofLCMC, which goes for $1 ayear. The state attorneygeneral has also questionedthe county's reluctance toseek a request for proposals(rfp) for the lease of thecounty-owned hospital andhas advised that the currentlease arrangement is not

Wilson said a Inotion tohave the petition dislnissedwas filed with the districtcourt in Carrizozo on Tues­day by a law finn claimingto represent PresbyterianHealthcare Servicef3 (PHS).~Probably the first decisionI ITlake at the hearing willbe to dete:nnine whetherPresbyterian HealthcareServices is entitled to makecomment," Wilson said.

Hoping to make a rulingon January 18, Wilson saidhe tries to make a ruling onthe day of a hearing be­cause that is why peoplecome to court. "But I knowbetter," he cautioned.

If the petition is found tohave valid basis to con­tinue, Wilson Haid he willimpanel a grand jury whictmust follow a process. Po...tentia! jurors ....;ll be takenfrom a computer data basemaintained by the Adminis­trative Office of the Courts.

Lincoln County RancherCelebrates lOOth Birthday

Christmas Eve was the scene for a special birthday party honoring KelleyStephenson at the Aristocrat Assisted Living Center in Alamogordo. This was avery memorable event, as this was Kelley's lOOth birthday.

Kelley was born on Christmas Eve in 1900 in Alvarado, TX to AfTIletla andJohn Stephenson.

The famlly soon moved to FI. Worth, TX where Kelley's father had theFeed and Grain Company in the Fe Worth Livestock Exchange Building.

One of Kelley's early businesses was a garage where he was a mechanic,something he truly enjoyed. He was later employed by the Insurance Firm ofRoberts and Rey as a claim adjuster.

In 1928 he married Arme King of Pauls Valley, OK. They were blessed withtwo children, Patricia Ann and Billy King.

In the early 40's Kelley began managing different ranches for the HarroldBrothers of Ft. Worth. ]n 1945 the Harrold Brothers purchased the I-X Ranchsouth of Carrizozo, NM. Kelley managed this ranch until 1960 at which timethe Stephenson family purchased the ranch.

Kelley is a member of the Trinity Methodist church and a member of theCarrizozo M.asonic Lodge. He has been a Mason since 1922.

In 1991 he lost his dear wife Anne~ they were married 63 years. Kelley feelshe has been very lucky and blessed to have had a very good life and mostimportantly the time he was allowed to spend under his big cottonwood treesand all of the splendor of the I-X ranch.

There were four generations on the Stephenson Ranch until which time Kel­ley~moved to the. retirement center. His main concern is that the ranch canremain in the family for generations to come.
