To the Editor:
I like your paper and feel you

contribute a lot to the community as
papers are disappearing.
I am frustrated by the lack of
coverage of candidates who lack
the ability to run commercials (and
buy votes). I am talking about
judges, secretary of state and many
more I see on the ballot on election
day without any clue about what
they stand for.
If you have not already done so,
would you ask such candidates to
send you a short statement of
policies and beliefs? Publishing this,
even without endorsement, would
serve a great public cause.
Some day, public financing may
allow all candidates to have a
one-page sheet collectively sent to
all registered voters, such as what
people in Europe get (or at least
in France).
Why should those who can afford
it run commercials on radio and TV,
and those who cant be left in the
dark?
C. Drozier, Albuquerque
To the Editor:
I appreciated Dennis Domrzalskis

recent articles [Oct. 5, Oct. 12 issues]
on the Take Back the Co-op situation at La Montaita Co-op.
I have shopped at the co-op for
years, traveling often from the far
North Valley to both the Nob Hill
and Rio Grande Boulevard locations.
I like the wide variety of items,
both organic and non-organic foods,
the helpful and friendly staffers and
even the long hours the co-op stays
open. And, I was grateful when
the co-op opened the location near
Cottonwood on the West Side.
My experience is that West Side
location has gotten more and more
popular with shoppers since opening, and its certainly convenient for
those of us living in the many nearby
communities.
Consequently, and for the first
time, I recently became a member of
the co-op. I did this as an affirmation
of support for the past and current
management. Its smart that the
co-op has evolved over the years in
order to stay relevant and to stay
in business. Hey, maybe Darwin
should have been in retail.
Norm Segel, Albuquerque
To the Editor:
I wrote you a couple of weeks ago

asking for the return of the crossword in the Free Press. You did, and
I want to thank you.
The rest of the paper continues to
be outstanding, including your nicely objective coverage of the capital
and the Capitol.
I hope to enjoy reading the ABQ
Free Press Weekly for a long time.
By the way, did you know that
several years ago, here in Santa Fe,
there was a similar-format freebie
that took a right-wing position on
politics? They lasted about a year,
went broke, and stopped publication
abruptly, with the whole staff left
hanging and never getting their final
paychecks.
I wonder what they would be
saying if they were still publishing. I
am tickled by the irony of your picking the same name, basically, but a
totally different point of view and,
I suspect, a fairer attitude toward the
worker bees who make your honey.
Best wishes, and keep Susanas feet
to the fire!
Bill Dunning, Santa Fe
To the Editor:
Thank you for the article about Bob

Davie and the Lobo football team.
It is interesting to me that it comes
in the face of Paul Krebs comments
that, without additional financial
support, athletics could go by the
wayside at UNM.
Fans will support the Lobos when
they stop making excuses and spinning things to make it look better
than it is. I travel a lot for work
and avoid the subject of college
football when I am interacting with
colleagues because the Lobos are
such an embarrassment. Im not sure
losing the football program at UNM
would be a huge loss it might be a
sigh of relief.

person can do a lot in five hours.

They can cook a 20lbs. turkey,
assemble something from Ikea or
watch the entirety of the 1975 film
The Confessions of
Winifred Wagner.
For photographer
Wes Naman, five
hours was all it
took to become
an internet
sensation.
I was
sitting in
the airport,
having a
Jameson
at 8 in the
morning
before I had
to go fly home
for Christmas, he
said. By the time I
landed, I had probably
100 texts, emails,
hits on Facebook
from all over the
place just wanting
the rights to use
these images.
That was in
2012, when Wired
Magazine sent
journalist Jakob
Schiller to write
an article about
Namans invisible tape photo series.
The Invisible Tape Series soon became one of the first viral photo series,
and its popularity was worldwide. His
work was shown in places like Russia,
India, Iran and Portugal.
Germany loves me more than
(David) Hasselhoff, Naman said.
They even have Invisible Tape Night
at certain bars, where people tape their
faces up.
Namans fame blossomed: Students
reached out with questions, art schools
asked him to speak, a TV station in
Japan even flew him out as a guest on
a gameshow.
Suddenly, Naman said, his photography stopped being about having fun. It
had morphed into a constant struggle
to top the acclaim the Invisible Tape
Series had garnered.
There was this thing, like, Ok, well,
what can I do to top this? he said. I
also felt as a photographer that youre
only as good as your last shot.
Naman spent some time trying to

build on his Invisible Tape Series by
creating the Rubber Band Series, a fun
play on words that had Albuquerque
musicians wrapping their heads
with rubber bands. This
one did not receive
the same level
of recognition,
and Naman
found
himself
questioning his
work.
There
was about
a year or
two where
I really lost
touch with
who I was,
he said. And
finally, I just gave up
on worrying
about what
people thought
or whether or
not it had to be
better than the
last thing I did.
Naman went
back to making
imagery that
meant something to him.
He recently finished a series titled
Lonely Man, and has moved onto a
Lonely Woman series, both of which
explore those empty moments everyone feels.
Finally, I was able to dispel of my
ego and trying to exceed my egos
expectations and just break it down
and go back to what I really like to
do, he said.
That doesnt mean he shies away
from the benefits and responsibilities
that came from the Invisible Tape
Series, however. Hes flying out to his
native North Carolina at the end of the
month to do a speaking tour at North
Carolina Museum of Art, Carteret
Community College and Randolph
Community College.

Buy Organic, Buy Local Easier Said than Done

Dennis Domrzalski is an associate editor at ABQ Free Press Weekly. Reach him at dennis@freeabq.com
BY DENNIS DOMRZALSKI
ts a mantra often heard from purists

and others in the organic and local
food movements: Always buy organic
and local.
The idea is that buying organic
fruits, vegetables and other products
will result in better health for humans
and the land. Organic farmers and
ranchers use natural methods to raise
crops and livestock, as opposed to
using synthetic fertilizers, pesticides
and feed.
And when individuals, stores,
restaurants and food co-ops buy from
local producers, they support those
producers and help build the local
and state economies.
But while that philosophy might
make for good sound bites, the
reality is that its impossible for stores,
restaurants and co-ops to feed us
solely with locally grown or organic
produce.
New Mexicos organic food production, while increasing, is minuscule:
According to the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, New Mexicos 90
certified organic farms and ranches
grew just 268 acres of certified organic
vegetables or grains last year.
Just 21 farms in New Mexico grew
certified organic tomatoes in the open
on a combined total of eight acres
last year. Production totaled 20,100
pounds. Eight farms grew three
acres of organic lettuce, for a total of
34,200 pounds. Sales for both totaled
$148,045.
Its the same for cabbage and
carrots: Four farms grew a combined
total of two acres of organic cabbage
for a harvest of 18,000 pounds, and
thirteen farms grew a total of three
acres of organic carrots for a harvest
of 15,000 pounds.
The USDAs Certified Organic
Survey, which was released in late
September, surveyed only certified
organic producers in the 50 states. The
report details production and sales
of individual vegetables and fruits,
but it also has a broad category called
Other Vegetables, which accounts
for small farmers who might plant as
little as four rows of corn or tomatoes,
said Longino Bustillos, New Mexico
statistician for the National Agricultural Statistics Service of the USDA.
In New Mexico, production of those
other vegetables totaled 1.1 million
pounds, yielding sales of $1.5 million.
If you do the arithmetic and divide
the combined weight of New Mexicos
annual harvest of organic carrots,
We have a short growing season

in Northern New Mexico, we are an
enormous state and have trucking
and distribution problems, and we
have seasonality issues, Pozzebon
said. Stores are sourcing from small
farms maybe an average of 2.5 acres
each in Northern New Mexico. Our
farmers are aging out and getting old,
and trying to find young farmers who
can make a return on investment is
becoming harder and harder.
This all means that if New Mexico
stores and restaurants want to carry
organic vegetables, they have to import them. California was the nations
largest producer of organic food in
2015 with 790,000 acres under production and $2.4 billion in sales. Compare
that to New Mexico, where the total
for all ranch and farm products of all
types organic and non-organic was
$3.7 billion most of that coming from
non-organic milk.
Certification
There were just 268 acres of certified organic

vegetables grown in New Mexico last year, which
netted $1.9 million in sales
cabbage, lettuce and tomatoes by the
FDA-recommended daily serving
of 4.5 cups of fruits and vegetables,
youd get 56,186 servings. With about
2 million people in the state, each
person in the state would receive no
more than half an ounce per year of
New Mexico-grown cabbage, carrots,
lettuce and tomatoes.
Not so local
Monte Skarsgard, owner of the

organically certified 40-acre Skarsgard
Farms near Albuquerque, said it isnt
possible to always get locally grown
organic food, or even locally grown
conventional produce.
We really have to push our customers to be realistic about the local
food movement, Skarsgard said. It
freezes here, and youre not going to
have everything you want coming
from New Mexico. Its just not going
to happen.
Martha Whitman, a consultant who
works with food co-ops and who has

been involved in Albuquerques La
Montaita Co-op for more than 30
years, said the co-op cant stock the
shelves of its six stores year-round
with locally grown, certified organic
produce. For one, local produce is
seasonal plus, New Mexico farmers
are subject to the whims of nature.
A hot, dry summer this year hurt
production, Whitman said.
Stephanie Walker, a vegetable specialist with New Mexico State University, said New Mexico is a long way
from having enough organic-certified
land to keep all the consumers in
New Mexico not to mention those
outside of New Mexico eating only
organics.
Vicki Pozzebon, founder of Delicious New Mexico, an organization
that helps local food processors grow
and market their products, said New
Mexicos climate and demographics
work against buying local.
In the eyes of the government and of

buyers for grocery stores, any produce
that doesnt carry the organic-certified
label is conventional produce. To
call their produce organic, farmers go
through the process of being certified
by their states or USDA-accredited
organizations. Certification in New
Mexico costs $200 per year, plus a fee
of 0.75 percent of gross sales. It also
involves yearly audits of sales and
growing practices.
Some producers say they cant justify the cost of certification and declined
to get certified because of the arduousness of the process. But just because a
farm isnt certified as organic doesnt
mean its food hasnt been organically
grown: Many farmers, including those
who sell at the 75 farmers markets
in the state, do meet organic requirements, but havent undergone the certification process, said Denise Miller,
executive director of the New Mexico
Farmers Marketing Association. For
many customers at farmers markets,
its more important that the produce
be locally grown than it is that it be
certified organic.
The organic label is less important
when you are selling directly to the
customer, Miller said. Its very
different than having a jam on a store
shelf that is labeled organic. A lot of
our growers are pesticide-free and
they engage in healthy growing practices, but they may not have become
certified organic.

Neals Blunder at Lobo Howl

Will Cost Him in Critical Year
Tracking the Millions Voters

Gave to the ABQ BioPark
Local Briefs
BY RICHARD STEVENS
BY BARRY BITZER
The U.S. Department of

Justice and University of New
Mexico reached an agreement
on how UNM will respond to
allegations of sexual harassment and assault involving
students. Under the agreement,
UNM will: provide training to
all students, faculty and staff
on the prohibition on sexual
harassment, including sexual
assault; ensure that training
includes advice on how to
report harassment and where to
go for assistance; revise UNMs
policies to provide an impartial
sexual harassment and sexual
assault grievance procedure;
investigate all allegations of
sexual harassment, including
allegations of retaliation; take
steps to eliminate any hostile
environment that may arise;
and ensure that the individuals
designated to coordinate Title
IX efforts receive adequate
training.
f you are beginning to think

that New Mexico
Mens Basketball
Coach Craig Neal
doesnt get it,
youre probably
not alone.
The cash cow of
the UNM athletics program is mens
basketball, and the Lobos need fans,
fans, fans. The program isnt exactly
in the skids, but so far the direction
established by Neal amounts to a
downward spiral.
He showed no sign of changing
that direction at last Fridays Lobo
Howl at The Pit. Basically, Neal
disrespected the fans and disrespected the Albuquerque media.
They say you have one chance to
make a good first impression, and
the impression given by the 2016-17
Lobos during The Howl was that
Neal doesnt care much about the
fans. Neal did not speak to the media
after the poorly-attended Howl, nor
did he allow his players to speak to
the media.
First, Neal should be reminded that
part of his contract is to market his
product. The media is a vehicle, a
tool by which Lobo fans make connections to the coach, to the players
and to the program. That link was
denied by Neal on Friday. Instead,
he put out a halfhearted, poorly
worded, mistake-riddled video that
lasted a jump shot past a minute. It
was an insult.
Neal is coming off back-to-back
seasons in which his Lobos did not
make the postseason. The football
team is struggling through a bland
season (so far), and the cash cow
needs to be marketed and milked.
Ticket sales are down; it will be interesting to see if UNM can sell all of
the sky suites from which the fat cats
look down on the average Joes, who
really are the heartbeat of what little
remains of Lobo mania. It will be
interesting if WisePies Pizza makes
its balloon payment in December.
So what was Neal thinking? Does
he really want his Lobo team to be an
island distancing itself from the fans?
Has his ego ballooned so much that
he thinks he is above wooing his fan
base? Is he still pouting because his
son was not warmly embraced by
the Lobos fans?
Do you think it might have been

wise for Neal to say something to
the fans in attendance? Would it
have been good PR to talk to the
media especially the golden throats
from TV, who often have to fight to
share their limited TV time with the
Lobos? Did Neal not notice that this
was one of the lowest-attended (5,463
estimated) Howls ever?
Neal blew it. His bosses blew it.
The UNM marketing department
blew it.
Neal needs to win and recapture
the passion of The Pit. He has a
chance this season.
The Mountain West, once again, is
mediocre, and Neal has put together
an athletic team that has a chance to
battle for the title or at least finish
in the top three. And what is Neals
biggest advantage? Answer: The
Pit/WisePies Arena which means
the fans he showed little concern for
during and after the Howl.
Neals background in hoops is
pedigreed. He knows enough Xs and
Os to get by; its not a complicated
game to coach. But a Lobo coach
cannot disconnect from the fans or
the local media who give him free
exposure. Neal needs to suck it up
and start acting more adult more
professional. He also needs to be
coached and maybe not allowed to
write his own public messages.
Neals mistake was highlighted by
the contrast presented by the New
Mexico womens team and its coach,
Mike Bradbury.
Bradbury spoke to the media. Bradburys players spoke to the media. In
contrast to the men, the Lobo women
were engaging and wise enough to
try to connect with the fan base they
will need to lean on in Bradburys
first year digging out of the hole left
by Yvonne Sanchez.
The tradition of the Lobo womens
basketball program has faded and
needs to be rebuilt. Bradbury knows
a good place to start: With the fans.
Most likely, Bradbury will try to
wrap the Albuquerque media around
his finger, too. Not such a difficult
thing to do.
Neal ought to give it a try.

Editors note: In July, the gross receipts tax in the City of Albuquerque increased from 7.1875 percent to 7.3125 percent, thanks to an eighth-cent increase
approved by city voters this past October. The increase will
generate about $16 million a year for the zoo improvements which comes to
about $240 million over the 15-year life of the tax. We asked the New Mexico
BioPark Society, the force behind the tax increase, where the money is going.
ast year, the New Mexico

BioPark Society pursued an
Lopportunity
to fund the citys
master plan for improvements and

renovations to the
BioPark the
zoo, aquarium,
Tingley Beach
and the Botanic
Garden over
the next 15-20
years.
Changes
in tax law
at the state
level had left
municipalities
some headroom
to increase taxes in specific areas.
Our board of directors recognized
the opportunity, and we set about
to draft language for an eighthcent increment gross receipts tax
increase dedicated to bricks-andmortar needs of the BioPark. This
was in accordance with the master
plan finished in 2014; it followed
18 months of community dialogue
and input from more than 3,000
local citizens.
We had only 56 days to obtain
more than 14,000 valid voter
signatures on petitions. Then it
was up to the voters to support
this dedicated revenue source
for the BioPark, the states most
visited attraction. Voters last year
responded, and the tax went into
effect July 1.
Now that funds have started to
flow, we at the BioPark Society
feel both great excitement and
an obligation to watchdog the
progress to ensure that the master
plan stays relevant and that the
funds are well-spent.
At City Hall, elected officials
have likewise taken steps to
ensure this vision becomes reality.
They created a dedicated fund for
the revenue, specified the pay-asyou-go approach we had presented to voters and hired a new chief
executive for the BioPark who has
a solid background in construction

project management.
Phase 1 of the master plan has
exciting new exhibits and
features, as well as some
not-sonoticeable but
essential infrastructure overhauls. It
is important to
remember that the
zoo in particular is
old, dating to Aldo
Leopolds vision for
it in 1927.
A new penguin
chill is one marquee
addition you can expect to see work begin
on soon. The public has been particularly interested in penguins for
years, so we are especially happy
to see this reality unfold.
Seals and sea lions are slated to
get an improved new home. The
BioParks big cats will see their
spaces improved, and they will be
moved to their geographic area
Africa and Asia. The aviary will
expand, and the wolves are slated
for improved space at the vacant
north end of the Botanic Garden.
The facilities entrances will get
a makeover. Better transit options
between the BioPark and the Botanic Garden are also in the works.
Its an ambitious agenda, but one
that will bring an improved quality of life for both the animals and
the city as a whole, while enabling
expanded conservation work for
endangered species and educational opportunities for the tens of
thousands of school children we
reach each year.
At the BioPark Society, we take
our role as the BioParks booster
club seriously, and we intend to
stay vigilant.

Sexual harassment
Santolina
The Bernalillo County Commission has taken the first step

in a process that could lead
to more than $2 billion in tax
incentives for the developers of
the 14,000-acre Santolina development on the far West Side.
On Oct. 11, the commission
approved a resolution saying it
intended to give Santolina up to
40 tax-increment development
districts, or TIDDs, which are
a mechanism by which future
property and gross receipts tax
revenue from Santolina can
be diverted to the developer,
Western Albuquerque Land
Holdings LLC. The LLC wants
to be reimbursed for the infrastructure streets, sewers,
water lines and parks it will
build. The developer originally
said it would not seek public
subsidies for the project. The
commission has up to 60 days
to hold a special meeting on the
TIDDs request.
Crime
Mayor Richard Berrys

$60,000 study on why crime is
skyrocketing in Albuquerque is
in, and heres the verdict: Crime

is up because there arent
enough people in jail. The study
said there was a direct correlation between the inmate population at the Metro Detention
Center and crime. The fewer
the inmates at the jail, the more
crimes, especially auto theft, the
report says. The report by retired University of New Mexico
professor Peter Winograd said
that people who have a history
of being arrested for felony
property crimes commit 48
percent of all auto thefts in the
city. The report said that violent
crime rose by 9.2 percent in the
city in 2015 and that property
crime rose by 11.5 percent. Berry said he wants to hire retired
cops to handle investigations of
low-level property crimes.
More crime
A newly formed organization,

New Mexico SAFE, wants state
legislators to consider four
things before they introduce
anti-crime bills. The first is
whether the legislation would
make the state safer for children and families; second is
whether it is apolitical; and the
third is whether it is fiscally
responsible. The fourth test
should be that the legislation is
evidence-based.
Lasers
U.S. Air Force planes could

be equipped with lasers in the
not-too-distant future. The Air
Force Research Laboratory
on Kirtland Air Force Base is
overseeing a demonstration
program to see if planes can
be equipped with lasers. The
project is known as SHiELD, or
Self-Protect High Energy Laser
Demonstrator. It will determine
if small lasers on planes could
be used to destroy incoming air-to-air missiles or zap
ground targets. The Air Force
lab has awarded a $39 million
contract to Northrop Grumman
to create a laser beam control
system. If all goes well, the
lasers could be on planes in
the 2020s.

I write in response to your letter
of October 12, 2016 to Dean Baquet
concerning your client Donald Trump,
the Republican Party nominee for
President of the United States. You
write concerning our article Two
Women Say Donald Trump Touched
Them Inappropriately and label the
article as libel per se. You ask that
we remove it from [our] website, and
issue a full and immediate retraction
and apology. We decline to do so.
The essence of a libel claim, of
course, is the protection of ones reputation. Mr. Trump has bragged about
his non-consensual sexual touching of
women. He has bragged about intruding on beauty pageant contestants in
their dressing rooms. He acquiesced
to a radio
hosts request to discuss Mr. Trumps
own daughter as a piece of ass.
Multiple women not mentioned in our
article have publicly come forward
to report on Mr. Trumps unwanted
advances. Nothing in our article has
had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own
words and actions, has already created for

himself.
But there is a larger and much more important point here: The women quoted in
our story spoke out on an issue of national
importance indeed, an issue that Mr.
Trump himself discussed with the whole
nation during Sunday nights presidential
debate. Our reporters diligently worked
to confirm the womens accounts. They
provided readers with Mr. Trumps response, including his forceful denial of the
womens reports. It would have been a
disservice not just to our readers, but to
democracy itself to silence their voices.
We did what the law allows: We
published newsworthy information
about a subject of deep public concern.
If Mr. Trump disagrees if he believes
that American citizens had no right to
hear what these women had to say and
that the law of this country forces us and
those who would dare to criticize him to
stand silent or be punished we welcome
the opportunity to have a court set him
straight.
Sincerely,
David E. McCraw

Whore You Voting For in This Boyd Retrial Decision
Most Bizarre Election, Susana? Should Be Made Now
BY JOE MONAHAN
omething was
lost in the
hubbub when Gov.
Susana Martinez
recently repeated
her condemnation
of Donald Trump.
Following the
release of the
now-infamous
sex-talk tape featuring Trump,
Martinez said: No woman should
ever be treated the way he claims he
treated women. Unfortunately, there
is a pattern of disturbing conduct and
offensive rhetoric that raises serious
questions about his fitness to be
President. Thats why I have withheld
my support from the very beginning,
and will not support him now.
So that means theres noway in
the world that Martinez will vote for
Trump, right? Well, not quite. Asked a
few days after withdrawing her support
if that meant she would not be voting
for the billionaire businessman, Martinez dodged: I am really not talking
about the presidential election. I have
made my stance very clear ... I can tell
you I am not going to vote for Hillary
Clinton ... I dont believe he (Trump) has
the qualities to lead the country.
Shes slamming Trump hard, but cant
bring herself to say she wont vote for
him? Like many other Republicans,
Martinez has been tortured by this
presidentialcampaign. The hardcore
base of the Party is fully behind Trump:
By refusing to rule out a vote for him,
the governor at least keeps a toe in the
door with them and, in the unlikely
event Trump wins, she would have a fig
leaf, albeit a tiny one, to hide behind.
Parsing political statements is a
time-honored tradition, but reading
Martinezs explanation reminds us that
this year its getting taken to a whole
new level.
With Susana seemingly uncertain
about who she will cast her presidential
ballot for, we thought wed give her a
little help by listing the other presidential candidates on the state ballot.
They are:
Gloria Estela La Riva/Dennis J. Banks
(Socialism and Liberation); Darrell Lane
Castle/Scott Bradley (Constitution); Jill
Stein/Ajamu Baraka (Green); Rocky De
La Fuente/Michael Steinberg (American
Delta); Evan McMullin/Nathan Johnson
(Better for America)
Martinez has already said she wont
be voting for Hillary or for former Gov.
Gary Johnson. We dont think shes
philosophically compatible with Jill
Stein of the Green Party or Gloria Estela

La Riva of the Socialism and Liberation
parties. She may be tempted to vote
for Mexican-American millionaire
businessman Rocky De La Fuente, but
beware, Susana: Rocky self-identifies as
a progressive Democrat.
Theres one candidate that the
governor might see as a viable option.
Hes Evan McMullin, a conservative and
ally of 2012 GOP presidential nominee
Mitt Romney. Or maybe Martinez, who
in the past has been mentioned for
national political office, can write in her
own name? No luck. New Mexico does
not accommodate write-in presidential
candidates.
Like many other

Republicans, Martinez
has been tortured by this
presidential campaign
Meantime, because of the current
state of the Trump campaign, state
Democrats aregrowing increasingly
confident that they can take back the
state House by picking up the necessary
three seats. However, before they start
dancing in the aisles, dont forget that
Gov. Martinez would still have the veto.
Then theres the conservative coalition
in the state Senate that often acts like
an arm of the GOP. In other words, if
the Dems do take back the House in
November, Roundhouse gridlock isnt
going to disappear.
The Democrats are also hopeful that
a big Trump loss will improve their prospects for taking back the majority in
the U.S. Senate. If that were to happen,
look for the rumor mill to quiet down
over Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom Udalls
possible run for governor in 2018. With
thelikelihoodof only a slim Democratic
majority in the U.S. Senate, keeping
Udall seated there would be imperative. Besides, being back in the majority
would give him more of the power a
politician craves.
If Udall stays put, it will be a break
for Democratic U.S. Rep. Michelle Lujan
Grisham, who is exploring a gubernatorial bid of her own but knows that
taking on Udall might be unrealistic.

arry Truman
famously
declared, The
buck stops here.
But where does
the buck stop with
the James Boyd
shooting? I say it
stops at the desk of
special prosecutor Randi McGinn.
The trial of two former cops accused
of murder in the shooting death of
Boyd ended in a mistrial with nine jurors
voting for an acquittal and three for a
conviction. Right after the mistrial, McGinn said she would leave the decision
on whether to retry this case to the
incoming district attorney, Raul Torrez.
When I heard this, I was dumbfounded
but not surprised. In New Mexico,
decisions always seem to be delayed
and the can kicked down the road. The
Taser-gate pay-to-play investigation at
the Albuquerque Police Department
has been on Attorney General Hector
Balderas desk, as both state auditor
and attorney general, for years. Yet he
refuses to make a decision regarding
prosecution. His spokesman tells us it
is still being investigated. Good god,
Hector, how long do you need?
The Boyd case has compromised many
politicians since the evening of March
16, 2014. Days after the shooting, newly
appointed police Chief Gorden Eden
held his infamous justified news
conference, which sent the city into riots
and Mayor Richard Berry into hiding.
Bernalillo County District Attorney
Kari Brandenburg was disqualified from
prosecuting the case by Bernalillo County
District Judge Alisa Hadfield. The court
ruled that Brandenburg had a conflict of
interest because APD was investigating
her activities regarding criminal
allegations against her son.
Brandenburg asked every district
attorney in the state, and Balderas as
well, to take over the prosecution. All
declined. Brandenburg then approached
McGinn, and she agreed to become the
special prosecutor.
What authority does a special prosecutor have? I asked McGinn and Eric Loman
(co-counsel with Sam Bregman for Keith
Sandy).
McGinn said that after she announced
that any future decision regarding the
Boyd case would come from Torrez,
many people asked why she wasnt
going to make the decision herself. As
special prosecutor, doesnt she have the
authority?
A Cops
View
The last question was one that McGinn

was not sure of. She has instructed
her staff to research her authority to
determine what, if any, limitations she
has. She is also reviewing court rules
that require the prosecutor to make a
decision to retry or dismiss within 30
days which means it has to be made
before Torrez takes office Jan. 1.
Loman stated that the authority of
the special prosecutor is very clear. As
special prosecutor, she (McGinn) stands
in the shoes of the district attorney for
this one case. The special prosecutor
makes all decisions regarding dismissing
or charging, Loman said.
So what should be done? I have spoken
to several attorneys who followed the
case, and everyone says it should be
dismissed because nine jurors voting for
acquittal is too steep of a mountain to
climb. So why wait months for someone
else to make this decision? Our
community and the defendants should
have this case resolved quickly. If
everyone knows what the decision will
be, McGinn should make it now.
Torrez will inherit an office with more
than 30 police shooting cases that have
yet to be reviewed, some going back
to 2013! Torrez will have his hands full
with an office that from all accounts is in
turmoil. He doesnt need more work, not
if the special prosecutor can make the
decision now.
No person, except the defense attorneys, knows the Boyd case better than
McGinn. By leaving the future of this
case dangling for months, the city and
the police department will languish
waiting for a decision to be made.
The two defendants, Keith Sandy and
Dominique Perez, will be left in a legal
purgatory. This is unfair to them when
those in authority already know what
the outcome will be but stand mute.
Its time to end the Boyd case. McGinn
voluntarily accepted appointment as the
special prosecutor. Assuming Loman is
correct, McGinn does indeed stand in the
shoes as the district attorney. McGinn
was appointed to this role by Brandenburg, who was elected.
New Mexicans are tired of those in
authority not exercising that authority.
This is not the time to kick the can
down the road but to display courage
and leadership and act decisively. I urge
McGinn to make a decision now. This is
her role, and no one is more capable.
The buck stops at her desk.

(I noticed a Trump

Hi, I said. Noticed your Trump

Yup, he said, a bit defensively.
I hope you dont mind my asking,
but Im curious. Why are you supporting him?
I know hes a little bit much,
he said. But hes a successful businessman. And we need a successful
businessman as president.
How do you know hes a
successful businessman? I asked.
Because hes made a fortune.
Has he really? I asked.
Of course. Forbes magazine says
hes worth four and a half billion.
That doesnt mean hes been a
success, I said.
In my book it does, said the
Trump supporter.
You know, in 1976, when Trump
was just starting his career, he said he
was worth about $200 million, I said.
Most of that was from his father.
That just proves my point, said
the Trump supporter. He turned

that $200 million into four and a
half billion. Brilliant man.
But if he had just put that $200
million into an index fund and reinvested the dividends, hed be worth
$12 billion today, I said.
The Trump supporter went silent.
And he got about $850 million
in tax subsidies, just in New York
alone, I said.
More silence.
Hes not a businessman, I said.
Hes a con man. Hope you enjoy

aggie Forrester, a national

treasure beloved by many,
has died.
You are one of many attending
her memorial.
What you and the attendees will
soon learn is that Maggie also had a
horrifying secret.
This is the plot for this years
Quarantine Haunted House.
For four years running, Blackout
Theatre has performed Quarantine part theater production, part
haunted house every October.
Since its beginning Quarantine

has been about zombies, but this
years interactive theater project
is about ghosts and demons.
Jeff Andersen, director of
Quarantine, said the story has
changed, and Quarantine: The
Curse will take place in a girls
home that had once been
run by the dearly departed
Ms. Forrester.
Zombies, he said, are old hat,
one-trick ponies but spirits
and demons offer audiences a
more intelligent version of

the creeps.
Theres only so many ways
you can get chased mindlessly.
We realized ghosts can do a lot
they can do a lot of supernatural
stuff,Andersen said.
While this provides a fresh
start for the actors and audience,
the change also lends itself to
creating a more intricate, longrunning narrative.
Every production for Blackout
Theatres 10th season is based
on Maggie Forresters cursed family. With that in mind, Blackout Theatre set about creating an immersive haunted house that conveys
a story, complete with character
development and plot arcs.
Stephen Armijo, a guide at Quarantine, said the new Quarantine
takes the idea of a haunted house to
a level beyond what audiences are
used to.
Its literally a haunted house: Its
not a series of unrelated scares,
he said. Demons and ghosts lend
themselves to storytelling.
Ghosts can talk; ghosts can do
things. Theres a reason theres
ghost stories.
In the course of 35 minutes,
audience members come to
find out about mysterious
happenings around The
Forrester School for Girls, who
Maggie Forrester was and what
motivated her questionable
behavior, and if they can solve
the puzzle how to reverse
the damage.
Its cool that so many people

are coming to see a theater
show and experience theater in
a new way that they might not
have thought theater could be,
Andersen said.

Oct. 31. For show times and

Young Together a Class-Act Debut
lectro-pop-alt-rock singer-songwriter Lilah Roses debut album

Young Together is an interesting
affair. The album moves among a
few different genres, and does so
smoothly.
There are alt-country guitar-heavy songs; synth-heavy
affairs with drones and catchy
melodies; and slow, somber tracks
with very little beyond voice,
piano and drums.
Comparisons might be unfair
Lilah definitely has her own thing
going on but I heard pieces of PJ
Harvey, Lissie, Stevie Nicks and
Daughter in the vocals and melodies. The guitar and horns that
show up sporadically remind me
of one of my favorite bands, The
Lonely Wild.
The pace of the album is fairly
relaxed, and a lot of the songs feel
like reflections on loss: Missed opportunities, pleas to an unrequited
love and regret you

cant quite let go
of. That said, the
album doesnt
wallow in
misery: Its got
a bittersweet
feel, and I was
left feeling
like the melancholy that
the songs ring
with at times
is pretty far
in the past.
Theres a
feeling that
things are
looking up.
Lilah Roses voice ought to be
counted as another instrument
alongside guitar, trumpet, drums
and piano. Her wordless signing,
humming, oohs and aahs fall
on top of each other, creating
haunting and
inspiring
layers.
The end of
Pockets is
a fantastic example of this:
It becomes
sweeping
and emotional, and
fills you with
a feeling
of lightness.
Owls also
benefits, and
Lilah is so
on-point
in this
department that it almost feels
like actual words would be wasted. As a bonus, youll find yourself singing along easily.
Grave is a little sadder than
the rest of the album; the guitar
is subdued and the vocals are

mournful. The next song, Feel It,
starts off with brassy synths and
snaps you out of the melancholy.
Its got a silky, sexy sound I can
see the main characters in some
indie film romance-drama awkwardly making out to it on the
hood of a car by a lake.
Start to finish, Young Together is a damn good album. Lilah
Rose has a gift for slipping in and
out of different sounds and feels
without making it awkward or
jarring. Her vocals are polished
and enchanting, especially when
shes harmonizing with herself,
and the instrumentals are polished
and catchy.

he sauciers art has a long and proud

tradition, but few of us have time
to invest in long-simmered stocks and
complex reduced mother sauces, nor
the room for quarts of demi-glace. Most
restaurants, as well, no longer have
the staff nor space for complex and
time-consuming sauces. Thus, many
professional kitchens have shifted to
pan sauces.
Pan sauces can be as easy as deglazing with a bit of stock and/or wine,
with a few seasonings and herbs, then
reducing to the proper flavor and
consistency. These techniques can be
easily adapted for the home cook with a
decently stocked pantry.
The basis for any pan sauce is the
fond, those wonderful brown bits stuck
to the pan after searing or pan-frying a
protein. The fond is concentrated flavor
and is loosened and dissolved by deglazing the pan with a liquid usually
wine, liquor or stock. Thats the flash of
flame seen in open kitchens: The alcohol
or stock burns off in an impressive gout
of fire.
A current popular pan sauce is the
French gastrique. Originally, a gastrique was the combination of caramelized sugar or honey and vinegar.

very taproom or pub should

arrive at its own character, a
comfortable groove into which it
slides like a well-brewed ale into an
aficionados stomach.
Usually, this takes a few years to
happen or, more often, a place
closes down before it ever really
gets a chance to hit its sweet spot.
But every once in a while a taproom
opens with a character, a vibe, a
groove already in place, and it feels
like home the moment you walk in.
Dialogue Brewing (1501 1st Street
NE) is one of these rare taprooms.
It recently sprang up in a forgotten
part of the Wells Park industrial
district, but step inside and it feels
like a particularly arty pub, with
low mood lighting and a handful of
beautifully grained picnic tables set
before the industrial trappings of
the brewery itself.
Outside, metalwork sculpture,
reminiscent of the Watts Towers,

rises up above the roofline. A
table surrounds each one of these
towers, and friendly lights are built
into the artwork. This attention to
communal space seems
appropriate for the
conversationally named Dialogue,
and so far the brewery is showing that it intends to back up its
overtures toward community with
actual community events.
And, hey! Theyve got beer, too!
Dialogue is angling itself to compete in the newly emerging (in Albuquerque, at least) Belgian-style
market, and the current offerings
represent the sour side of the flavor
palette, with a few oddities thrown
in for good measure:
Lychee American Wheat (5.4) - A
crisp ale with the candied
fruitiness of lychee, light body and
an earthy finish, rounded off
by a cider-like bouquet.
Berliner Weisse (4.3) - A straw
-colored, traditional Weisse with
a bouquet like opening an earthen
cellar door. Dry with acidophilus
overtones.
Sour Brown (6.2) - Hits you
with the scents of earth and dark
sugar. Alluring, with maybe a
hint of chocolate in the smooth
front flavor, but a subtle sourness
as it slides down the tongue.
Belgian Dark Strong (9) - The

monster lurking in the center of the
list, the strong dark lives up to its
name: Burnt sugar dominates the
bouquet, and the first sip might
provoke a flinch. The sour and
tangy sweetness combine with a
heavy body and a finish of raisins
and currants. Go easy with
this one.
So, welcome, Dialogue Brewing.
Glad you joined the conversation.

works best. There is no need to add oil.

A perfectly cooked duck breast will
have a crisp skin, very little rubbery
fat, and still be red in the center.
At the same time, simmer a bag of
frozen raspberries in a bit of water
and a pinch of sugar until soft. Pure
with an immersion blender or push the
berries through a fine-mesh strainer.
Well need this later.
Cook only on the skin side, then let it
come to medium-rare in a 350F oven
in a clean pan. While the duck finishes
cooking to 135F, pour off all but a
tablespoon or two of the fat from the
original pan. Save it: Its liquid gold.
Let the duck breasts rest on a cutting
board while making the sauce.
Deglaze the pan over medium-high
heat with a few tablespoons of cider
vinegar or sherry vinegar. Add a few
tablespoons of the berry puree and let
the sauce reduce. A bit of fresh thyme
gives a nice floral kick.
Adjust flavoring with salt and pepper; if the sauce is too thick, thin it out
with a bit of chicken stock. Slice each
duck breast longwise a few times with
a sharp knife and present it on a plate
with the sauce underneath to show the
lovely, crisp skin.
This technique will work with nearly
any fruit and vinegar combination.
Veronica Rinaldi is a bartender for Albuquerque Press Club and never shies away from a new cocktail.
BY VERONICA RINALDI
recently got my hands on New

Mexico Cocktails by Greg Mays.
The book is filled with history and
cocktails and is perfect for a little
DIY bartending.
Arturo Jaramillo, owner of Historic Rancho De Chimay restaurant,
mixed up the Chimay Cocktail in
1965 as a Jaramillo-style solution to
an abundance of apple cider from
the Chimay valley.
This signature New Mexico cocktail is a sweet blend of apple cider,
tequila, lemon juice and crme de
cassis. Still served at the restaurant
in Chimay, this cocktail definitely
deserves a try at the home bar.
The complex spice of the tequila
and the caramel notes of an unfiltered (non-alcoholic) cider already
play well with one another. Add
in a bit of citrus and blackcurrant
liqueur, and you have a sharp fall
fruit basket in a glass. Even better,
the cocktail is simple to put together this may be dangerous the next
time I have house guests.
Cocktails are often seen as
sophisticated or complicated, but
dont let yourself be intimidated:
Making a good cocktail should be
an exciting adventure.
If you have a few glasses and a

means of measuring, you can make
a cocktail at home using basic
kitchen tools. Choose ingredients that are quality
and affordable for
the cocktail you are
making. Crme de
cassis and gold
tequila can both
be found at any
quality liquor
store. It being
fall in New
Mexico, I had
no trouble
finding some
apple cider
at the local
grocery store.
Tequila is
most popular
for its famous
appearance in
the ever-wonderful margarita,
where its combination with an orange
liquor and lime juice makes
a refreshing warm-weather drink
all over the world.
In the Chimay Cocktail, tequila
takes a new role as the sharp

spice that kicks up that deliciously sweet cider. I used a
Reposado tequila for this
drink. Since the Reposado is aged in whiskey
barrels, it has that
nice smoky flavor
along with the
spice of the
tequila itself.
The recipe in
Mays book
calls for a
gold tequila,
but a silver
tequila could
be nice for a
milder palette. Remember, its an
adventure.
Crme de
cassis, or a blackcurrant liqueur,
was first made in
Burgundy, France
more than 150 years
ago. Cassis is a liqueur that
has a sweet dark-berry flavor
with a hint of earthy tartness.
I love the cassis and tequila
pairing, a play on sweet and spicy.

Cassis is indeed a sweet liqueur
and can be easy to overdo, so measure carefully.
Finally, the juices. By using an
unfiltered cider we get a full, rich
apple flavor. Add an unfiltered
cider for rich apple flavor, and a
touch of lemon to make it all pop.
Remember to drink responsibly,
and make each cocktail
an adventure.

Abiquiu Lake
on its busiest day, theres space to be

found away from others.
ince the weather is still so perfect,

this weekends trip will take
advantage of it.
Time to prepare for some
serious hiking.
Head north on I-25 up through
Santa Fe to NM 599, which eventually
connects with US-285 N/US-84 W.
Follow this to Abiquiu Lake.
Albuquerque to Cerro Pedernal:
130 miles
The directions can get a bit tricky
from here, because the way is
through unmarked forest roads.
From US 84, head west on NM 96,
then head south on Forest Rd 100.
About five miles on this dirt road,
turn left: This is the road to take to
reach the peak.
Depending on the clearance of the
vehicle youre driving, you may be
able to make it farther up the double
track. Otherwise, the hike is about
eight miles round-trip.
As always, check the map for accuracy and the local ranger station for
road closures.
Cerro is Spanish for peak. Its
also known as Pedernal Peak, which
is a bit deceiving, as it sits just below
10,000 feet. Remember to pack for
the variable weather at that elevation. The peak is relatively small and
can be hiked from one end to
the other.
Pedernal rests at the northern edge
of the Jemez mountain range and

Abiquiu Lake to Ghost Ranch:

9.5 miles
Ghost Ranch is a family-owned
spot thats most known for its summer classes. Its nestled amid variable
shades of red rock.
Head to the back of the camp and
find the trailhead. This trail, called
Kitchen Mesa, is also an out-andback. It wraps around the cliff and
overlooks the ranch, Abiquiu Lake
and Cerro Pedernal.
Theres also a short, class-four
chimney climb before reaching the
top of the mesa. The trail continues
to wrap around until, at last, your
breath is taken away by the stunning
New Mexico landscape.
Ghost Ranch to The Blue Heron
Brewing Co: 37 miles
Hiking burns lots of calories time
to replenish them with some beer.
The Blue Heron is south on US 84.

of which is visible from the top.
On a clear day, Wheeler Peak and
the San Juan mountain range in
Durango, Colorado are both visible.
Cerro Pedernal to Abiquiu Lake:
15.5 miles
Abiquiu is one of few lakes in
New Mexico, and it is the only one

with a spectacular blue tinge to it.
The lake has typical amenities:
Boat ramp, camping, fishing,
biking, hiking. In the summer, there
are even a few spots to cliff jump
into the lake.
Its a nice spot for a picnic before
heading over to Ghost Ranch. Even

The Accountant Too Much Movie for One Film
David Lynch is an award-winning film reviewer.
BY DAVID LYNCH
here havent been many Hollywood

heroes like the one in The Accountant. Then again, Ben Afflecks
portrayal of Christian Wolff an
autistic bookkeeper-terminator figure
could hardly be called a hero.
Nonetheless, the film displays the
disorder as a strength not just in
Wolff, but in others. Our differences,
The Accountant argues, should be
celebrated and embraced.
Its an appropriate message, one
not explored in contemporary film
as much as it should be, let alone in
action thrillers like the one brought to
us by director Gavin OConnor.
Unfortunately, the film turns what
could have been an in-depth exploration of a misunderstood disorder into
a gimmick, one of many that make
up an overstuffed, overambitious plot
that is as varied in tone as it is tough
to follow.
The Accountant has enough
material for three movies, or even a
short season of binge watch-worthy
TV. There are so many moving parts

involved that are easy to forget about,
even though they are all interconnected in a complex web of stuff that
happens on-screen. It seems like a first
cut of a film rather than a finished
product, resulting in a two-hour affair
that feels more like four.
In the course of its runtime, The
Accountant leaves the audience in
the dark at so many points,

especially in the way it tries to connect
every piece of its ensemble of characters to one another.
Theres an admirable attempt to
create a deeply layered story, and
even glimpses of what could have
been a memorable work had its excess
been stripped away. Most of the films
narratives are a means to an end,
many of them laughably disposable.

The film almost knows it too,
utilizing sound and fury at some of
the most opportune moments to
break up the lifeless, obfuscated
hodge-podge of plotlines.
Affleck, and most of the supporting cast, is acceptable enough,
though Anna Kendrick looks out
of her element here, to the point
that The Accountant seems like a
totally different movie when shes
on-screen. This could be the darkest
fare shes been involved with in
her career, and she does what she
can for the role, but shes simply
miscast.
Theres a good film somewhere
in The Accountant perhaps
even a great one that touches on
the impact of autism on families.
But the audience shouldnt be
asked to seek out and fit those
pieces together.

The Monkeys His Uncle?: An Interview with Buyi Zama

characters sex change from screen
to stage.
with the character. I think I prefer

that one because I feel like Im
actually doing something that Im
supposed to be doing and it feels
more real, if
thatmakes
any sense.
So Rafiki was played by a man

(Robert Guillaume) in the
film, its really cool
that a woman gets
to play this role.
How do you feel
about that?
Yknow, having to sing the first note.

I usually just say, Oh, you know, its
fine, but seriously, having to sing the
first note. If I mess up, then I feel like
Ive messed up the whole show.
I read in your bio that youve

been to Shanghai and Johannesburg, everywhere! Do you have a
favorite place that youve performed?
Johannesburg. I mean, its home

thats the only reason. Besides, if I say
another place, Ill offend some people.
But no, seriously, its home. I got to
see my whole family, they got to come
in and see the show.
Your character is comedic relief,

but you have one of the more

show, because
otherwise it would just be, well ... the

I went to an audition, just like most

people do but the only difference
with me is that I wasnt going to
audition, I was tagging along
with someone that was going to
audition. I was support for my

and he said, Are you auditioning? and I was like, Um

Do you have any advice for students who want to go onto Broadway?
I dont think of Rafiki as funny,

actually; she just happens to say
things that people find funny. I think
the funny characters in the show are
Timon and Pumbaa.
I guess the emotional part of Rafiki,
thats the way I feel more connected
You have to really love it. I do find

that when I talk to people they see it as
something glamourous. I dont think
it is. Its work. Is it lovely? Yes. But
if you dont put in the work, then it

Balls an Illuminating Memoir

BY LEX VOYTEK
Lex Voytek is a freelance book reviewer. Reach her as books@freeabq.com
hristopher Edwards certainly

proves that he has a big pair with
his memoir Balls, the story of his
transition from female to male.
This memoir was both stunning and
inspiring, filled with heroic honesty and
laugh-out-loud anecdotes.
Edwards explains how he came out
as a man and began transitioning in the
90s a time when the public was not
just divided on transgender rights, but
was wilfully ignorant of how transgender people were portrayed in the
media.
Edwards gives insights from early in
his life: Being humiliated when he was
forced to wear dresses to church, and
feeling like any prayer of being who he
really was (a man) was shattered when
he went through puberty and had his
first period.
He talks about being suicidal, but how
he couldnt commit a common thing

within the transgender community,
which he explains academically.
After seeing a few abusive doctors
and therapists, he finally discovered
one who accurately assessed his
situation. His therapist realized that he
had gender dysphoria and helped him,
without judgement, to slowly come
out to his friends, family and work
colleagues. Edwards went into encouraging detail about the overwhelming
support he had, and how he dealt with
the initial shock his family expressed.
Edwards wrote a balanced account,
giving credit to those people around
him, while relating believable scenes of
his family trying to talk him out of his
stance assuring him he was really a
lesbian or a tomboy. Edwards explains
how, eventually, his family had to give
up their daughter but with proper
support, they embraced him as a son.

Impressively, Edwards recounts
each stage of his transition with good
humour and light-hearted readability
from using the mens room in his office
for the first time, which had me choke
on my drink laughing, to his surprisingly readable details about the surgeries
themselves.
I can be squeamish when it comes to
gore, particularly medical gore, and
Edwards wrote about the gruelling
process of surgeries that took years to
complete with palatable style. He talks

about the multiple failures with his
experimental new equipment, and the
story of how his second penis had to be
put on life support literally.
Edwards succeeds in helping to
rewrite the mythology surrounding the
transgender community. I was in tears
by the end of this book, cheering for
Edwards and his goal to use his story as
a bridge for the community.
Balls is available in ebook
and hardback.
