I 1 I I I1-! 8A The Independent Record, Helena, Wednesday, January 25, 1989 Crash that examinations often are not evaluated for a year, Tranter said. By then, he said, the certificate in question has expired and a new one often has-been issued, starting the cycle again. He said the cycle can go on for years. In Morris case, there was cause to be concerned, investigators said. Tranter said Morris had a history of "ischemic events similar to minor heart attacks.

Burton said an electrocardiogram suggested possible heart muscle damage. However, Burton also said a coronary angiogram a year, before the crash found coronary arteries to be essentially normal, and noted that Morris showed no outward symptoms of heart disease and denied experiencing any anginal type chest pain. Nevertheless, the flight surgeon said, the conditions were in place to explain an acute cardiovascular event. The severe stress he was encountering in landing that plane could have been the precipitating factor. Tranter also cited the stress of the difficult approach, on flight 1 instruments through a snow squall at night after a long work SJ day.

Even) an airline guy would have been under pressure, Tranter said. .3 Tranter said that as a result of Waltermire crash and possible similar incidents in California and Washington state, the NTSB has recommended the FAA change its procedures, possibly by revoking a medical certificate immediately if the Oklahoma City center has doubts about a pilots medical fitness. In the Waltermire case, Trant- er said, Morris certificate was valid, since it had been Issued by a designated. medical examiner and the FAA had taken no action -i to revoke it. Under current regulations, he said, Morris was violating no rules by flying while his medical certificate was under re- 1 view.

I dont think Mr. Morris was trying to violate anything, 1 -Tranter said. But he was getting up there in years i GB Complete TV listings are carried each Friday in the IR's Your Time section. ward and point out abuses, and said the measure should have a deterring effect on wasteful spending because people will know this program is out. there.

Although an analysis of the bills fiscal impact has yet to be completed, Rice said the program shouldnt cost the state too much to set up because existing employees already handle abuse complaints. And while Rice said he doesnt think wasteful spending is rampant 1 in state government, the waste-busters program would serve to help agencies better manage taxpayer money. I think theres room enough for us to manage our programs more efficiently and with less cost, he said. The Montana program would be similar to one that has been in place in the federal government for nine years. Administered by the General Accounting Office, was hired to do," Diez said.

But for at least two persons, they learned too late that even a assanEnzEH Morris; a pilot all his adult life, brought vast experience to the cockpit 5,262 hours of piloting experience, including 1,863 hours as an instructor in instrument flying. Tranter also said Morns had a valid Class 2 medical certificate, the appropriate certificate for a commercial pilot, good for one year. It was issued on Oct. 29, 1987. But in a telephone interview Wednesday, Tranter told The Associated Press that Morris may have held the certificate only because lax supervision of medical records at the FAA branch in Oklahoma City.

He said that when a medical certificate is issued after a quick examination, test and examination data are sent to the FAA center for more detailed evaluation. The FAA center can ask for further medical information if it doubts a pilots fitness to fly. But during that evaluation, the certificate remains valid. And the government is so far behind Hotline government dont have a central location to lodge their complaints, Rice said. Some people call the legislative auditor, some call the budget office, and some report abuses to agency heads.

Legislative Auditor Scott Sea-cat said his office receives complaints ranging from minor thefts to substantial allegations, some ip the form of anonymous notes received in the mail. The complaints are followed up, he said, and criminal allegations are turned over to the attorney general. One such allegation led to charges being filed Friday against Robin Scott Farrell of Helena, who is charged with altering public records and stealing $400 from the states Property and Supply Bureau. Rice hopes the hotline will encourage employees to come for- Shepherd from attack. That fellow did exactly what he was supposed to do, said John Andrew, owner of a four-year-old Springer Spaniel hot by Diez on Jan.

18. The state of Montana agrees with Andrew. State law clearly gives the owner or guardian of livestock the right to shoot intruding dogs. Andrew said thaLwhen he let his dog out to run on Lime Kiln Road he saw no sheep in the area. By the time he saw the sheep coming over the hill ahd he drove to his dog, the pet was shot dead.

Diez, who' has three dogs with the herd, said he shot a second dog about a month earlier while the sheep were grazing near Montana City. Both times, he said, the dogs were attacking the sheep. And both times, the flock was on private land. What makes the situation potentially more dangerous for dog owners is that the sheep are now in an area that has not been used for grazing in several years, and dog owners may have used the area in the past to let their animals run. Andrew did.

I never saw sheep therein the past, he said. According to the lands owner, Bill Diehl of Helena, a lack of grazing on the land has allowed for thick growth of grasses a potential fire hazard if there is another summer like the last. Grazing the sheep on the land -was supposed to solve the problem. But recent storms have left the grass buried under a foot of snow, and Diez said he is feeding the sheep hay. Diez said that, as soon as he can move his small one-room cabin through the snow, the sheep will move on to new pastures.

The first move will be a short one across Interstate 15 to fields west of the ASRCO smelter in East Helena. After two weeks there, the sheep will be herded back to the Diehl ranch near Toston for lambing, Diez said. Diez estimates each sheep is worth about $220 a head more if they are pregnant.

Rice said about 10 percent of the calls pointed out legitimate abuses. While the GAO is unable to quantify how much money the program has saved, its recent report estimates the savings of million of dollars. Rice admits that some people with personal grudges against coworkers may take advantage of the hotline to lodge false complaints, but he noted the legislative auditors office should be able to screen out bogus calls.

I think when a caller calls, hes going to have to be able to substantiate the basis of his allegation, Rice said.

Howard Retz' In the grain and flax country of northern Spain, near the city of Palencia with its 14th Century Gothic cathedral and 13th Century churches, Mariano Aquado Diez learned the art of sheepherding from family members who herded before him. Now Diez has brought his old-world skills to Helena, where he is herding sheep in nearby rolling hills for area ranchers. Although Diez has been in the country for the past 10 years, most of the time, until recently, has been spent alone tending his herds. He has had little chance to learn English. But that is changing.

Six months ago, Diez married a Montana woman who knew no Spanish, and the two are slowly learning each others language. Its been hard, said Cindy Diez, of Big Timber. But were picking up each others language bit by bit. The two spend much of their time together in the one-room wooden shepherds wagon they call home. With a kitchen in one end, a bed at the other and a table in between, she said they have everything they need.

Its a nice, quiet life, she said. The two met in 'Harlowton, where Diez was "herding sheep. After a year of limited conversations and quiet times, the two married. Although Diez is building a family here in Montana, he left seven brothers behind in Palencia and has tried to often return to his homeland, He was last in Spain about one and one-half years ago, he said. Diez, who was recruited to come to the United States by West- em Ranch Association, worked in Wyoming for two years until Western Ranch sold off all its sheep.

From there he moved to Colorado for two months and then to Montana where he has been herding sheep for nearly eight years. Although Diez said he misses his family in Spain, he enjoys his new life in Montana. "I came here alone, he said.
