KCYN-KCPX LOCAL-REGIONAL NEWS REPORT MON MAY16th 2009

Garryowen, Mont/Blanding Utah

A Montana artifact dealer is fuming about his treatment by two dozen armed federal agents who raided his property after a sting operation alleging illegal sales. Sound familiar? Just as their counterparts in Utah would do to dozens of accused artifact looters in 2009, Bureau of Land Management agents six years ago swarmed their suspect here in a manner that he says left him in tears and fearing for the future of his museum and trading post. Only in this case, instead of pleading guilty as many of the Utah suspects have done, Chris Kortlander fought back. Never charged with a crime after years of investigation and two raids of his vaults and nonprofit museum on the edge of the Little Bighorn Battlefield, Kortlander said he understood the rage that San Juan County residents vented at the government after agents rounded up their neighbors. He has since struck up a friendship with the son of suspected Utah artifacts looter James Redd, the Blanding doctor who killed himself after a raid on his home

SALLT LAKE CITY — Out-of-state advertisers flooded a Cedar Hills email service for children with thousands of messages promoting smoking, according to a multimillion dollar lawsuit filed in federal court. Zoobuh, which promotes itself as providing safe email for kids, claims an Arizona company named Smoke Freely spammed its servers with at least 16,188 emails since January touting its electronic or e-cigarettes. The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction to stop the messages. The company contends the emails violate the federal CAN-SPAM Act because they contain misleading or false information in the subject line. In addition, the messages failed to include a conspicuous notice that they are advertisements and a clear opt-out link from receiving them in the future, according to the suit filed in U.S. District Court last Friday.

SALT LAKE CITY Turning 16 is a milestone in every teen's life, and with the last legistlative session, a new privilege has been allowed. Lawmakers lowered the legal age to donate blood from 17 to 16-years-old. That law took effect this week. While younger blood isn't necessarily better, the extra donors means an increased supply of blood for patients needing transfusions. The Red Cross expects more than 1,200 16-year-olds to donate this year thanks to the new law, increasing the overall donor pool by up to 20 percent.
