DOJ Monitor, Civilian Oversight Board Unleash Broadsides at APD

BY DENNIS DOMRZALSKI AND DAN VUKELICH
he Albuquerque Police Departments command staff continues

to make excuses for officers who use
excessive force, and a new unit created to review such cases is virtually
a rubber stamp for police misconduct, the independent monitor in
APDs reform case says.
APD continues to
exclude, ignore and
directly thwart the POBs
attempt to contribute to
APD policy Beth Mohr,
chair of Police Oversight
Board, in letter to U.S.
attorney for New Mexico
The monitors complaint follows on
the heels of accusations by the Albuquerque Police Oversight Board that
APD has stonewalled the civilian agency
at every turn in its attempts to help
reform the troubled department.
In an Oct. 26 letter to Elizabeth
Martinez of the U.S. Attorneys Office,
Beth Mohr, chair of the oversight board,
laid out scathing criticisms of APD Chief
Gorden Eden and the APD command
structure. She wrote that APDs actions
directly thwart efforts at civilian
oversight and reform of APDs use-offorce policies.
The civilian boards efforts, she

wrote, have become a waste of time
because of APDs refusal to cooperate
as required by city ordinance and the
settlement agreement with the U.S.
Department of Justices lawsuit over
APDs unconstitutional use of force. The
oversight board was created to assist in
policymaking at APD.
It appears that APDs goal is to
frustrate civilian oversight and input at
every turn, she wrote.
Just days after Mohrs letter was
entered into the court record of the
lawsuit, James Ginger, the independent
monitor appointed to monitor APDs
efforts to reform itself, weighed in with
similarly harsh allegations of APD
foot-dragging and excuse-making.
One of the biggest problems at APD,
he wrote in his latest report to the court,
is its newly formed Critical Incident Review Team, or CIRT, which is to review
use-of-force cases so the department can
learn from them and change its policies.
The implementation of a unit such
as CIRT is an important step forward;
however, APD should ensure, through
the use of every administrative, leadership, and policy modality available
to it, that CIRT becomes an effective
and efficient review, assessment, and
corrective-focused unit, not just a rubber
stamp for use of force events, Gingers
report said. As the unit now stands,
it is much closer to the latter than the

former. This is a critical issue calling
for immediate, forceful, and effective
remediation.
Ginger found 18 problems with the
review team, most notable of which
is its penchant for excuse-making. He
found that the deployment of carefully
worded excuses, apparently designed
not to find fault with officer actions
(for example, in at least one case the
force was excused by stating that
CIRT found no internal documentation
directing APD to follow the provisions
of the [court-approved DOJ settlement
agreement] despite the fact that the
City was a signatory to the settlement
agreement!)
Gingers report, his fourth such report
to U.S. District Judge Robert Brack
focused on APDs reform progress from
April through July.
ABQ Free Press Weekly sought comment on Oct. 27 from an APD spokesperson regarding Mohrs criticisms and
on Nov. 1 regarding Gingers criticisms
but did not receive a reply. On Oct. 27,
Rhiannon Samuel, a spokesperson for
Mayor Richard Berry, said in an email
in response to Mohrs complaint of APD
non-cooperation, It is not my understanding that APD is stonewalling the
board.
Mohrs letter to the U.S. Attorneys
office was written in advance of a Nov.
18 court hearing on APDs reform

progress. In it, she complained that
Edens pattern of resisting or ignoring
the Police Oversight Board has led to no
consequences for Eden or anyone else
at APD.
Most of the people in charge of APD
now were in place during the years in
which the department was found by
the DOJ to have engaged in a pattern
of unconstitutional policing that led to
scores of people being shot since 2010,
most of them unarmed.
Mohr alleged that APD continues
to exclude, ignore and directly thwart
the POBs attempt to contribute to APD
policy and that Eden has suffered no
consequences for his obstruction of the
board.
These continued failures on APDs
part to provide data as requested have,
as of this moment, resulted in no consequences which would dissuade this
continued behavior, she wrote.

he human body is a
medium of pure
intimacy, immediacy
and intuition. And
no body painter
wants to mess up
the outcome.
Gigi Archibeque
knows this all too
well. A self-taught

and henna artist,
she understands that
to achieve a vibrant
body piece, it
is necessary to
truly listen to
her client.
I want to
beautify you
with a momentary stain
that is coming
from you, that
emanates from
you, she said.
Archibeque
identifies as a
survivor who is
in active recovery. She views
art as therapy
and a means for
catharsis, both
for the painter and
for the individual being painted.
She believes touch is a method of
healing that promotes a connection
with our humanity.
However, Archibeque isnt always
comfortable in a bustling environment,
which is where, most often, her work
must take place.
I tend to be a bit more private, Archibeque said. I dont mind sharing
my work, but due to my PTSD I hide
my personal work. I usually dont
open up easily.
Nonetheless, as a working artist and
owner of Luna Sirena Body Art by

maintaining her livelihood by painting
faces at local festivals and various
community events.

Archibeque may safeguard her
privacy, but she is all intellect, passion
and compassion. Her combination of
intensity and generosity works to
elicit intricate, powerful images both
on the body-as-canvas and upon
framed canvases.
Shes funny too.
When asked if she had any
hesitation in interviewing for a feature
article, she said, Well, Im trying to

n January 2010, Mayor Richard

criminals, not just out of the city, but
out of the region.

a bad place to be a criminal, Berry
said in a 10-minute YouTube video.

Through August of this year, auto

thefts were up 30 percent over the
same period in 2015, which was a
near-record year. The metro area now
has the second highest per-capita auto
theft rate in the nation.
Berry has blamed the crime increase
on judges who let repeat multiple
Experts differ on how many cops a

police department should have and
how those staffing numbers should
be determined. Some say the number
should be calculated on a per-capita
basis, meaning there should be a
specific number of officers for every
10,000 residents. Others say levels
should be based on need, such as
crime rates or desired response times.
A 2010 study by three professors
at National University in La Jolla,
Calif., pegged the ideal per-capita
staffing level at 20-40 officers per
10,000 residents.
Something went wrong, though.

auto thefts, larcenies and aggravated

was the focus of Berrys 2010 anticrime effort, increased by 11.5 percent,
and violent crime was up 9.2 percent
over 2014.

offenders out of jail after their arrest.

His recent $60,000 study on why
crime is nearly out of control concluded that the problem is that there
arent enough people in jail. Fewer
people in jail means more criminals
on the streets committing crimes,
the study said.
Berrys critics said hes responsible
for the increase in crime and that his
policies breaking a police union
contract and cutting police pay in his
first year as mayor caused cops to
flee the department.
In 2010, there were 1,065 sworn
officers on the APD force. In 2015, that
had fallen to 832, a 21.9 percent drop.
In 2010, city cops made 31,174 arrests.
Last year, that fell to 22,820, a 26.8
percent decline.
This is simple math: Fewer cops
equal more crime, said Shawn Willoughby, president of the Albuquerque Police Officers Association. We
are doing 125 fewer arrests a week.
Does anybody wonder why the Metropolitan Detention Center doesnt
have anybody in the jail? How can the
judicial branch be held accountable

A new plan
The mayor now has another

crime-fighting plan. On Oct. 12, he
announced a 14-point proposal that
has some critics wondering what
happened to the 2010 plan that was
supposed to make Albuquerque a bad
place to be a criminal.
Willoughby said many street cops
are furious that the citys news media,
in reporting on Berrys latest plan
and his $60,000 crime study, didnt
mention the mayors failed 2010 plan.
Police officers feel disrespected
by R.J. Berry, and they are frustrated
because no one seems to fact

Weekly seeking to talk with someone

about the plan, but she answered no
questions and did not make Berry or
anyone else available for an interview.
ABQ Free Press Weekly looked at
the major points of Berrys 2010 plan
to see what happened to them. Here
are the results:
The mayor promised to put more
cops on the street. In 2009, there were
468 officers assigned to answer calls.
Berry promised to raise that to 500 in
2010. That never happened. By 2012,
large numbers of officers were leaving
the department. The number of field
officers taking calls fell steadily and is
now a little above 400, less than when
Berry took office.
He promised to engage in regional
crime fighting and partner with area
district attorneys to form a multijurisdictional property crime task force.
That never happened, at least according to Bernalillo County District
Attorney Kari Brandenburg, who,
presumably, would have been part of
such a task force. Several months ago,
Brandenburg confessed that she has
had virtually no communication with
Chief Gorden Eden.
The mayor promised a night
detective squad to target what he
called offenders who prey on victims
at night. The detectives were to use
night-vision goggles. Thieves work
around-the-clock, and now we will,
too, Berry said.
A night detective shift was established but lasted less than two years
because of a lack of officers, Willoughby said.
Berry promised to create an email
list so block crime-watch captains
could communicate with one another
and share information. We cant
do this alone. The best deterrence
against crime is watchful neighbors,
Berry said.
That apparently never happened.
Retired APD officer Al Ludi, a block
captain in the citys Northwest Side,
tried for seven months earlier
this year to get a list of phone numbers, email addresses and home
addresses for block captains in his
part of the city. He said APD refused
to give it to him until he requested it
under the states Inspection of Public
Records Act.
The mayor promised to create an
automated notification system that
would tweet a list of stolen motor
vehicles every morning.

The website Worldatlas.com,
using FBI Uniform Crime Reports,
reports that in 2015, Albuquerque
had the 25th highest violent crime
rate of cities with populations
above 250,000. The website
Neighborhoodscout.com, which
ranks all cities using an overall
crime index, gave Albuquerque
an overall crime score of 3, with
the best score being 100. That
means that Albuquerque is
safer than 3 percent of all U.S.
cities. Here are the ranks and
violent crime rates per 100,000
residents of some cities from the
Worldatlas.com list:

He also promised to create a property crimes link on APDs website

where residents could communicate
directly with the departments specialized units. If these two things
ever were in place, they arent
now. There is no property
crimes link on
APDs website.
Berry promised
to have businesses
donate bait
vehicles that APD
could use to catch
auto thieves. This
appears to be one
of the few things
of Berrys plan that
was implemented, but it hasnt
worked. Auto thefts
are up 30 percent
this year.
The mayor promised
to send crime scene investigators to every burglary,
no matter how small. That
was nothing new. CSIs have
always been sent to burglaries

where there is workable evidence,
Willoughby said.
Berrys other initiatives included
asking the Legislature to strengthen
the states Three strikes law,
which hasnt happened, and
he promised to publish the
mug shots of property
crimes suspects, which
did happen.
Willoughby said that
many things in Berrys
2010 plan would have
worked if his policies
had not caused
APD to shrink.
Berry inherited a
good, well-managed,
well-producing machine
in the APD, and he has
destroyed it, Willoughby
said. He
has to take personal
responsibility for what he has
done as commander in chief of
this city.

how business could take control of

importantly, his execrable decision in
Citizens United v. F.E.C. declared the

OPINION
The Election is Rigged, But Not

In the Way Trump Thinks
Libertarianism Explained
In 700 Words or Less
BY ROBERT PERLS
BY MIKE BLESSING
eve all heard complaints that

this election isrigged. It is
but the media did not do it, the
Clintons did not do it and the Russians
did not do it. We, the people, rigged
it by electing politicians over and over
again who have no interest
in competition.
It is not election fraud that
defines this rigged election, but a
fraudulent electoral system. This is
what we mean:
Wouldnt you love to have a
business where you get to decide
who your customers are, who the
competition is, how much the product
will cost and how much profit you are
going to make? Throw in, for good
measure, a pure monopoly (or duopoly) with the government protecting
your exclusive franchise, and you have
just described our electoral system. No
one can ever compete!
Politicians get to decide who their
customers (voters) are before the
voters get to decide who they want
in office. This is backwards. Every 10
years, politicians create safe districts
for themselves or pour the opposition
into a few districts so there is zero
competition for most seats. New
Mexico has the lowest number of
candidates with competition in the
nation. This means the election is
rigged heavily toward the incumbent.
Politicians get to decide who their
competition is because they have
erected discriminatory and unfair
barriers to getting on the ballot.
Did you know that independent and
minor-party candidates in New Mexico
have to turn in between 3 and 10
times the number of signatures to
get on the ballot that Democratic and
Republican candidates do? This means
the election is rigged heavily toward
incumbents.
Politicians have an incentive to keep
campaigns expensive. Unless you are
wealthy, corrupt or a party regular
tightly aligned with the true believers
of either major party, you cant compete because you cant raise enough
money to pay for media buys. Did
you know that the average member
of Congress spends more time raising
money than working on their job?
This means the election is rigged.
Politicians have created a monopoly
in most districts. The proof is that
most have no competition. 70 percent

of all elections in New Mexico have
one person in the race. When there is
competition, it is usually in the primary,
where Republicans are only concerned
about getting hit from the right and
the Dems from the left, so it pushes the
candidates, political dialogue and the
urge NOT to compromise further to the
far right or far left. Neither major party
seems interested in competition only
in beating the other team. But neither
team seems able to govern just look at
the gridlock in Santa Fe and
Washington.
So when you vote in this election,
remember that where the candidates
stand on taxes, defense or education
really is not terribly important, because
in the end they are not going to solve
the problem. The current system does
not reward doing the hard work of
compromise, that of listening or building coalitions the hard work of policy
formation. It is because the election
is rigged.
Only We The People can fix it. How?
We need non-partisan redistricting
commissions so that incumbents cant
create their own safe seats. We need
public financing of campaigns or other
reforms like limiting contributions to
in-district donors, so that even middle-class voters can afford to run for
office. We need open primaries, instant
voter run-off and fair ballot access so
that more voters have more choices
in all public elections, including the
primaries. New Mexico Open Primaries
is dedicated to educating New Mexicans
about these critical issues.
Twenty-five percent of New Mexicans
and nearly half of Americans prefer to
be independent from the two major
parties and the trend is growing. The
first major party to help de-rig elections
is going to be tremendously successful.
Which one is going to step forward?

New Mexico? Get involved through
CivNet or the New Mexico Open
Primaries website.

he Gary Johnson presidential campaign seems to be the Libertarian

Partys best chance to date at winning
the White House. That possibility seems
to have lots of people scared out of
their minds.
So lets take a look at some ways that
a Libertarian administration would
conduct business.
A Libertarian
administration would
not seek to expand the
size, intrusiveness or
expense of government
by one iota
First, we need to understand that
libertarianism is all about the nonaggression principle: No one has the right
to initiate force or fraud against anyone else, nor to threaten or delegate
that initiation. No exceptions will be
granted under color of law.
Also understand that were NOT
looking to be Romney-Bush
Republicans with an L after our
names. If we wanted that, we would
simply cut to the chase and sign up as
Democrats.
With that in mind, here are some
examples of the policies that our
prospective Libertarian administration
would undertake:
First, a Libertarian administration
would not seek to expand the size,
intrusiveness or expense of government
by one iota. We would not look to
grow the federal government not by
2 percent, much less by the 10 percent
or 20 percent that a Clinton or Trump
administration will attempt. At worst,
we would freeze it where its at when
we take the reins. The 2017 budget
that we would receive on Jan. 21, 2017,
would be the budget for 2018, 2019,
2020 and 2021.
No, we would not look to expand the
welfare state one bit. Nor would we
look to create more regulations upon
business or your personal life. Those
regulations stifle creativity, growth and
economic progress.
Second, the White House would
become a pardon factory. All of the
people in prison solely for victimless
federal crimes sawing off a shotgun
barrel, having more than a certain
Mike Blessing is a Libertarian. He lives on

Albuquerques West Side.
amount of marijuana, draining a puddle on their own property would be

pardoned, because they didnt really do
anything wrong.
Third, we would stop putting people
in prison in the first place for those
victimless crimes: After Obama decided
that he can pick and choose which
parts of Obamacare he can enforce, we
can choose not to enforce the victimless
crime laws, as well and we would call
for the repeal of those laws.
Fourth, we would drastically reduce
taxes if we cant wipe them out
completely. This idea that were going
to settle for a 25 percent to 30 percent
national sales tax is nonsense. If were
going to compromise on a tax rate,
it would be more like 5 percent, and
we would disregard that revenue
neutrality hogwash. Thats just
pundit-speak for We dont really have
to cut spending.
Fifth, we would look to fundamentally transform the welfare state from
what it is now a massive top-down,
bureaucratic system for legalized vote
buying into something that actually
helps the people its supposed to help.
We would turn the various agencies
into 501(c)3 charities and forbid them
from taking tax money or lobbying
governmental bodies in their charters.
Then the people who support them
would know that their donations
would go a lot further.
Nor do we support any corporate
welfare. No more bailouts, no more
tax-funded football stadiums, movie
subsidies, or contracts for white-elephant projects. The Albuquerque
Rapid Transit inanity is a prime example of this.
Sixth, on foreign policy: For decades,
Libertarians have been defamed as
isolationists. True isolationism was
Japan between 1635 and 1853 or China
between 1757 and 1839. We simply
dont want America to be micromanaging the affairs of the rest of the world.
Seventh, we would not support
forced association under the rubric of
nondiscrimination or public accommodation. The slogan No means No
used against rape apologists works just
as well here. No Jew should have to
bake a cake for a Nazi wedding. This
concept should be applied consistently
across the population.
To summarize, we, the Libertarians,
simply want to live our own lives and
let everyone else live theirs.

COLUMN/EDITORIAL
County Gives ABQ a Vote on ART,

But Will It Make Any Difference?
Will the Dems Allow Susana

To Steamroll Them Yet Again?
BY ANDY LYMAN
BY JOE MONAHAN
oters in Bernalillo County get

to vote on a question regarding
Albuquerques controversial rapid
transit project but the results will
have little to no effect on the project
itself.
At least this is a way for them to

voice their concerns, OMalley said.
The ballot question asks voters if

they are in favor of putting the controversial Albuquerque Rapid Transit
project that spans the 10-mile length
of Central Avenue to a vote in a future
election. Even if a majority of voters in
the county favor voting on ART, the
Albuquerque City Council would not
be required to add the proposal to any
future ballots.
The Rio Grande Foundation, a

free-market research organization,
was one of the earlier and more
staunch opposition voices in Albuquerque to ART.
The actual question asks voters,

Are you in favor of giving voters
residing in the City of Albuquerque
municipal limits the chance to vote
in support of or in opposition to the
proposed Albuquerque Rapid Transit
project?
Even if the question receives a
resounding yes when results come
in on Nov. 8, there is nothing on the
ballot that can stop the project from
moving forward. The questions sponsor, County Commissioner Debbie
OMalley, said she wanted to send
a message to Albuquerque Mayor
Richard Berry on behalf of business
owners who still oppose the project.
I was hoping the mayor would
rethink and respond to folks that feel
like they haven't been responded to,
OMalley said.
OMalley is quick to admit that Berry hasnt shown any signs of slowing
down the transit project, which began
heavy construction earlier this month,
and that an advisory question will
likely not make a difference.
It looks like hes going to move
forward, OMalley said.
Even if the question was binding,
the City Council, not the County
Commission, would be the body to
halt funding to ART.
It's basically out of the countys
hands and it looks like it's out of the
communitys hands, OMalley said.
Still, the county commission
approved OMalleys question for the
general election ballot. The question
does not ask the city to propose a
binding question, but OMalley said
she wanted to give a voice to the
general public.
Since the inception of ART, there

have been a series of community
meetings to give the public a chance
to weigh in.
The group previously sponsored

a presentation by a speaker from
the Cato Institute last year, before
the ART project was approved. Rio
Grande Foundation Executive Director Paul Gessing told NM Political
Report in an email he also sees this as
an opportunity for the public to make
themselves heard.
It is unfortunate that Albuquerque
voters were never given a chance by
their city elected officials to vote on
such a transformative project for their
city but given the willingness of
Mayor Berry and 7 of the 9 members
of the City Council to steamroll what
seems to be strong public opposition to the project having even a
non-binding vote on ART is better
than nothing, Gessing wrote.
Unfortunately, barring a miracle,
the project will be far along in its
construction phase before that final
vote is held, Gessing said.

Report, an online nonprofit news agency. Its

The Lawsuit
Against ART
The U.S. Court of
Appeals for the 10th
Circuit has scheduled Nov.
14 as the date it will hear
oral arguments in a lawsuit
filed by opponents of the
Albuquerque Rapid Transit
project. In the meantime,
construction has already
begun across the length of
Central Avenue.

Emails: Clinton Hit Up Moroccan

King for $12M for Foundation
BY ABQ FREE PRESS WEEKLY STAFF
ox News scored what is being called in

the news media a brutal, clean hit on
Hillary Clinton through the revelation that,
before she announced for President, she
was soliciting the King of Morocco for $12
million for the Clinton Foundation.
Campaign manager Robby Mook and
longtime Clinton confidant John Podesta
thought the deal in which Clintonhad
committed to speak at an event for King
Mohammed VI on the condition
of his $12 million donation would look
bad. Clinton aide Huma Abedin tried to
explain that it was simply too late to back
out, according to emails made public
by WikiLeaks.
This was HRCs idea, Abedin wrote in an
email on which Podesta was ccd.
for potential presidential candidates

to be pumping foreign leaders for money,
and her staff recognized it, the
HuffPost reported.
On Fox News Sunday last month,
host Chris Wallace took Clinton campaign
manager Robby Mook to task on
the controversy.
Why wasnt that classic pay-to-play?
Wallace asked.
Theres nothing new here, Mook
replied, deflecting to Donald Trumps
sagging poll numbers.
But, Robby, there is some new stuff,
Wallace responded. Emails show and
Im going to go through some of them
you were not happy at all [with] the idea
of this meeting and her going there.
The team eventually reached a compromise. Hillary Clinton didnt show up, but Bill
Clinton and Chelsea Clinton did, and the
money for the foundation came through,
the Huffington Post reported.
Mook maintained that it was all just

a scheduling issue that had nothing to
do with corruption or public perceptions
of corruption.
Although the exchange occurred

two years after she stepped down as
secretary of state and before she announced
her candidacy, it is generally frowned upon
We didnt want her going overseas,

Mook said. I didnt want her going overseas before the campaign was kicking off.
Again, these are stolen documents.
ho received
the biggest
pass of Campaign 16? Thats
easy. Gov. Susana
Martinez. The
Republican leader,
now approaching
her seventh year
in office, has more
baggage than the stainless steel carousels at the Sunports terminals yet
Democrats blissfully ignored
her throughout the crucial battle for
control of the state House, which the Republicans took control of two years ago
for the first time since the early 1950s.
Lets unpack some of that baggage the
Dems have kept such a tight lid on.
Martinezs approval rating is only 42
percent in the Albuquerque Journals
latest poll and only 36 percent in the
recent SurveyUSA; the economy is lousy
in Albuquerque and dreadful in the rural areas; the states jobless rate is nearly
the worst in the nation and one result is
soaring violent crime and widespread
drug abuse; the state is nearly broke
and because of it the states bond rating
has been downgraded.
Martinezs controversial political
adviser, Jay McCleskey, and his
take-no-prisoners style have ripped
the Republican Party apart. He was
subjected to a federal investigation of
his campaign practices that exposed the
GOPs underbelly yet yielded no indictments. And then theres Martinezs
infamous holiday pizza party where
she tried to intimidate police and hotel
employees and which forever changed
her image with the public.
But on the campaign trail, you hear
hardly an inkling of any of this.
Democrats just dont seem to have
the stomach to do to Martinez what has
been done to them, and has cost them so
much political power. In fact, they seem
fine with simply waiting out the eight
years of the Martinez administration,
assuming power will naturally come
back to the opposition as she inevitably
falls back to Earth.
But even as she fights the political cancer that eats away at her administration,
Martinez still manages to launch strikes
against her enemies, especially Senate
Majority Leader Michael Sanchez who is
now in his own life-and-death struggle
to hold on to his Valencia County seat.
Albuquerque Dem attorney and
former City Councilor Greg Payne
says Democrats have provided many
excuses about why they have decided

to leave Martinez alone and why they
have not tried to capitalize directly on
her unpopularity in their quest to turn
the House Democratic, but Payne isnt
buying them.
The Democrats should be going after
Martinez and McCleskey relentlessly for
what has happened in this state,
Payne said.
They have had the power for six
years. Look what the Republicans did
to former legislative leaders Manny
Aragon and Raymond Sanchez and
now Michael Sanchez. They demonized
them year after year. The same for Bill
Richardson. And it worked. But the
Democrats here still seem to harbor a
good deal of fear attacking the political
machine that has rolled over them,
Payne said.
Because of that, Payne is not sanguine
about the Democrats prospects of picking up the three House seats they need
to take back control.
The lay of the land in a presidential year is favorable for them, but much
of what I have seen in the campaign is
namby-pamby, he said. There is no
overriding reason presented for giving
the Democrats control. The Republicans
framed their own political comeback by
making Aragon, Sanchez and Richardson the villains. Where are the bad guys
in the Democratic narrative? Mostly,
what they offer are weak appeals on the
economy and letting Susana and Jay
waltz away.
As expected, this final week is seeing
many Republicans come home and
begin to increase their percentage of the
early vote being cast. Throw in Hillary
Clintons email debacle and the rosy
optimism of a House Dem takeover is
now seriously in doubt.
Putting blame on Martinez isnt
necessarily a silver bullet. Winning the
House seats needed for a majority is
proving more elusive than expected.
Youd think that they would be running
a first-rate offense and doing more to
motivate their base voters or will
relying on Donald Trump to do it for
them be enough?
You often hear politicians referring
to politics as a contact sport. But most
of the time its Republicans who say
that. When it comes to Campaign 16
and the Democrats, it seems more about
avoiding contact with a governor and
her political adviser who have taken so
much from them and, really, without
much of a fight.
This Newspaper Endorses

Editors note:
ABQ Free Press Weekly is making endorsements in some

of the current races and ballot questions. Were speaking out on what we believe
are a few of the most important choices voters will make between now and Nov. 8.
President
Our choice is Hillary Clinton. While some
may say this is a lesser-of-two-evils choice,
we disagree. Weve followed Clintons
career from first lady to U.S. senator to
secretary of state.
Wed like to remind voters that, as first
lady, Clinton was tasked with leading
President Bill Clintons effort to develop
a universal healthcare plan that would
have guaranteed every American access to
healthcare. In a preview of what Barack
Obama faced in 2009 and 2010,
Republicans, aided by lack of unity among
congressional Democrats, helped the
hospital and pharmaceutical industries
crush the initiative.
In the late 1990s, working with U.S. Sens.
Orrin Hatch and Edward Kennedy, she
helped pass the childrens health insurance
plan known as SCHIP to provide subsidized
healthcare for children of families with
incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid.
In the grand scheme of things, through
that work alone, Clinton has accomplished
more than most members of Congress.
We recognize that Hillary Clinton is an
imperfect candidate. At the same time, in
hindsight, we have come to recognize the
truth of her claim of a vast right-wing
conspiracy against the Clintons. It is in
that context that we view her preternatural quest for privacy and her wrongheaded
decision to use a private email server.
We cant endorse her without mentioning her main rival, the racist, isolationist
and misogynistic lunatic Republican BFF of
Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump is perhaps
the most ignorant and dangerous person
in modern times to seek the presidency.
Voters need to send Trump back to reality
TV where he belongs.
Congress
Our choice is U.S. Rep. Michelle Lujan
Grisham. While she is likely to coast
to victory with or without rollerblades
we believe she deserves a third term in
Washington. More time in Congress
will help season her and make her a
stronger candidate for either mayor of
Albuquerque or governor of New Mexico.
Regardless of which office she seeks,
shell bring a compassion to the job that is
sorely lacking now.
Secretary of State
Our choice is Maggie Toulouse Oliver,
who has shown competence as Bernalillo
County clerk and has a record of expanding voter participation. Thats in stark
contrast to her opponent, Nora Espinoza,

whose extremist candidacy is based solely on
stamping out nonexistent voter fraud and
who will use the office to continue the voter
suppression efforts of her elected predecessor, convicted embezzler Dianna Duran.
Bernalillo County
Treasurer
We endorse Nancy Bearce. This veteran administrator and political newcomer will bring
much-needed reform to an office that has
been a cesspool of corruption and has cost
taxpayers millions of dollars during the watch
of the two incompetents who have held the
job for the past 12 years.
Bail Bond Reform

We urge you to vote yes to allow judges
to hold defendants in jail without bond who,
by virtue of their records, are a danger to the
public or a flight risk if released before trial.
This amendment has a second part, which
states that no one should be held in jail
simply because they cant raise the money for
bail. The amendment will reduce jail populations statewide. Studies in other states have
shown that defendants released on no-money bonds appear in court at the same rates as
defendants who post cash or surety bonds.
Legislature
Several legislative races are critical to
returning a sense of public service to the
Roundhouse and to put an end to the
mean-spirited score-settling that has recently
occurred on behalf of the current occupant
of the fourth floor.
Senate District 29
We endorse incumbent and Senate
Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, who had
the guts to stand up to Gov. Susana
Martinezs cynical injection of crime and
death penalty legislation into the recent special session, which should have been about
nothing except digging New Mexico out of
its financial hole.
Other Senate Districts:
Senate District 9: Incumbent, John

Sapien
Senate District 10: David J. Simon

Senate District 15: Incumbent, Daniel
Ivey-Soto
Senate District 18: Bill Tallman

House District 15: Ane C. Romero
House District 20: Incumbent Jim Dines
House District 23: Daymon Ely
House District 24: Elizabeth Thomson
House District 30: Natalie Figueroa
nicorns, teaching, glitter and

womens empowerment.
This isnt a random list, but a
description of the core elements of
local dancer-turned-teacher-turnedcreative-feminist-force-of-nature
Joy Coy.
The classically trained ballet
dancer and thespian has been teaching classes since she was a teen, and
has involved herself in all manner of
performance art for even longer but
it wasnt until after she graduated
from UNM that she combined those
loves with her strident beliefs in
womens equality.
It was January, 2015. Coy had
graduated only a month earlier when
she suddenly lost her full-time job.
In need of a way to pay her bills, and
unwilling to sit through interview
after interview, Coy instead turned to
a side project she had been working
on: A character that could help

kids find their own strengths.
Princess Unicorn is an original
character I developed to empower
young people specifically, young
girls, she said. She had all the
femininity of a princess with all
the strength and confidence of a
super hero.
As Princess Unicorn, Coy
earned money by performing at
childrens birthday parties and
at literacy outreach events through
the Albuquerque Public
Library system.
I encouraged young girls to
read, to dance, to write to express themselves creatively and
learn to identify their dreams, she
said. It could be short-term stuff
like I want to get a pet or I want
to join a sports team, or really
long-term stuff like I want to be a
ARTS
veterinarian, and then help

them identify solid paths to
achieve that.
Throughout this
period, Coy was also actively
involved in Albuquerques
bourgeoning burlesque scene,
as a member of the highly-lauded Burque
Noir troupe.
ARTS
When Burque Noir disbanded later that year, the city

saw an explosion of neo-burlesque troupes, most founded
or co-founded by former members of Albuquerques most
well-known group. However,
this led to a shared obstacle:
The troupes were often composed of performers new to
the art of strip-tease people who

were full of creativity and raw talent, but who had no training and
no place in the state to get it.
This inspired Coy to create
Albuquerques only workshop
program to help aspiring and
current performers of all stripes to
learn the basics. Coy opened her
own production company called
Unicorn Productions and put out a
call for students. The class was full
within days.
The first one was six weeks
very intense, very short-term, she
said. It covered a lot of burlesque
herstory, costuming, ethics. We
talk about show business, a lot on
choreography. And at the end of
it, they graduated by performing at

my production.
While Coy still works a day job,
she said her art has become self
-sustaining, which has always been
her goal.
It is very, very difficult to make
a living as a performer, she said. I
did Princess Unicorn full time, and
that took a little bit of the joy out of it
because I was so dependent on it for
a stream of income, but the purpose
of it has nothing to do with income.
Coys workshop now runs nine
weeks, with the next one beginning
in December.

Scallops: Not Easy,

But Simple and Subtle
Simple syrup can be purchased as

well, though a homemade version is
very easy. I add one cup sugar in one
cup hot water and stir until dissolved.
This can be kept in the refrigerator
until needed.
September to February is pomegranate season in the northern hemisphere. Pomegranates are a bit messy,
but the flavor they add is worth
the fuss.
BY STEVE MO FYE
igh-quality, fresh shellfish can be

hard to come by in New Mexico,
but there are a number of crustaceans
and mollusks that survive freezing and
thawing with very little degradation of
flavor and texture.
Most local purveyors have
access to IQF
shellfish.
Individually
quick frozen
seafood
is easy to
process, ship
and store, so it
is the most readily
available for the home cook.
Fresh shellfish loses quality quickly
unless held at very low temperatures,
so frozen is usually the best bet in our
High Sierra climate.
My favorite variety of shellfish is
the sea scallop. These sweet and savory
bits of ocean-flavored protein are the
tendon and muscle holding the bivalve
together. When one thinks of an iconic
seashell, its often the scalloped shell
(thus the name) of the scallop.
Mussels, while related (and my second
favorite), are different. We eat the body
of that bivalve and leave the tough
tendon behind.
Scallops are simple critters, but
require care to cook properly. If
overcooked, they can become tough
and dry. Like many lean proteins
whether by land or by sea they must
be seared quickly at a high temperature
to develop the proper crust and a moist,
tender interior. Scallops are a low -fat
animal protein and contain less cholesterol than crustaceans such as shrimp
and lobster, so they are better forthose
looking to reduce animal fats in
their diet.
To get beautifully seared sea scallops, buy them at the 10/20 (10 to 20
per pound) or U/10 (less than 10 each
per pound) size. Get them frozen and
then allow them to thaw in the fridge
overnight in a colander over a bowl to
reserve the tasty juices. Even if your
scallops have been augmented with
a preservative saline brine (usually
labelled glazed) to protect the flesh,
the juices are useful.
Once the scallops have been thawed

and drained, pat them dry with clean
paper towels and allow them to
slack to close to room temperature
while making a cream sauce.
Scallops have a delicate flavor
that is easily overwhelmed by bold
sauces. Over very
low heat, reduce
some whole
milk (about a
quarter cup per
U/10 scallop)
to the consistency
of heavy cream, then
add a pinch per serving
each of saffron, white pepper and
salt. Add the drained juices from the
scallops and stir well. The proteins
will thicken the sauce.
Heat a large heavy-bottomed,
steel-clad or cast-iron pan to smoking
hot. Make sure the scallops are dry all
over. Add just enough oil to coat the
bottom of the pan and place the scallops within. Dont crowd the pan or
you will have steamed scallops, which
defeats the point of searing. There will
be some smoke and noise. Thats the
goal here. Once the first flat side has
a crisp, golden-brown crust, turn the
scallops and finish the other side; if
the pan is hot enough, large scallops
will take one minute to 90 seconds per
side; smaller scallops will take even
less time.
Allow the scallops to rest on a
plate off the heat while preparing
the plates. Spoon a bit of the saffron
cream on each plate. Place the scallops
on each plate and serve. One or
two U/10 scallops will suffice for a
great appetizer.
To serve as a full plated entre, cook
three to seven scallops per person,
depending on scallop size and diner
appetite, and add a starch such as
rice, a root vegetable puree or dressed
noodles, accompanied by a lightly
flavored vegetable such as sauted
snow peas or wilted greens.

Dusk in Eden Martini

BY VERONICA RINALDI
Finally, I cant stress the use of real

apple juice enough. The rich apple
schnapps), muddled pomegranate,

simple syrup, and a vodka base,
the cocktail doesnt overwhelm you
with sweetness.
When I think fall, I think apples,

pumpkin, and pomegranate. I like
my pumpkin in pie or soup, so Ill
stick to apple and pomegranate for
my cocktails.
It is debated whether vodka

was originally distilled in Russia in
the ninth century or Poland in the
eighth. Either way, it didnt hit the
American bar until the mid-1900s,
becoming a staple for long business
lunches because of its lack of odor.

so well. Try to find a quality filtered
apple juice for this drink. An unfiltered

though it would still be delicious, it
wouldnt be the same beautiful sunset

have a great cocktail adventure.

(about 1 heaping

Dash of simple syrup
Pomegranate arils to garnish
Muddle together the pomegranate and syrup

in a mixing glass or shaker tin. If you dont
have a muddler you can use the handle of a
mixing spoon. Add the vodka and juice, and
fill with ice. Stir or shake well, and strain
into a martini glass. Garnish with pomegranate arils and enjoy!
Any vodka will work in this

drink. I picked a simple, wheatbased vodka that fit into my budget.
Beer Town: Pumpkin Wars

Ty Bannerman is a beer drinker, co-host of the City on the Edge podcast and author of Forgotten Albuquerque.
BY TY BANNERMAN
n an American autumn, theres

one tradition thats as much a part
of the season as Halloween and
Thanksgiving: The love/hate debate
over pumpkin-spiced beverages.
This cultural battle usually rages
over the ubiquitous pumpkin spice
latte but its close cousin, the pumpkin beer, has lately been dragged into
the crossfire.
Like so many divisive issues that
bedevil American culture, we can
blame the pilgrim colonists for
kicking this one off. According to
historian Mary Miley Theobald of the
Colonial Williamsburg Association,
those intrepid puritans were hard-up
for alcohol and, lacking the requisite
barley, turned to other locally available fermentables in their quest to get
their drink on.
Of course, since the pilgrims were
replacing barley with pumpkin, their
concoction was undoubtedly a far
cry from the beer we find on our
shelves today. The modern pumpkin
ale, which burst onto the scene in the

1980s, is a more typical beer that uses
malted barley for most of its fermentable sugars.
As a result, the pumpkin is a flavor
added along with pie spices like
cinnamon, cloves and allspice.
Some breweries dont even bother
including the gourd at all, preferring
to go heavy on the distinctive spices
rather than the subtle flavor contribution of the pumpkin.
This has already been a rough year

in terms of American infighting. Do
we really need a Trump/Clinton-style
throw-down over a beer as American
as pumpkin pie?
Heres my suggestion for unity
during this, the most beautiful of all
seasons: Whether you are a pumpkin
lover or a hater, invite your gourdish
opposite to join you at one of our local
breweries.
Order a pumpkin beer if you like,
or another variety on tap. After
the first sip, take the hand of your
comrade and look deep into their
eyes. Whisper Kumbaya and let
the glow of beer-unity warm your
hearts as the chill autumn wind
kicks in.

Albuquerque and other areas of
New Mexico are expected to see
casting opportunities and the subsequent filming of the new Epix

is an adaptation of the 1995 movie
of the same name. Chris O'Dowd
("Bridesmaids") will play the

s this supposed to be a puzzle,

or a challenge? a weary and
confused Tom Hanks asks about 20
minutes into Inferno.
At this point, youd think his
character, historian Robert Langdon, would know the drill Having
survived global conspiracy after
global conspiracy, does he really expect a day that starts with him not
remembering how he ended up in a
hospital to conclude with anything
other than following the trail of
another obsessive of some kind?
Apparently not. But then again,
three movies into his Robert
Langdon/Da Vinci Code series,
director Ron Howard still cant figure out how to make a movie that
integrates action with its scholarly
basis as well as the source material
does. His third attempt, as a result,
is less thrilling than staying up all
night to study for a history exam.
If theres one thing to appreciate
about these films, its their unrelenting drive to turn Hanks into an
action hero, though Im not sure
how much more he can take. The
Sony Pictures
stakes are easily at their highest this

time around, with betrayals, hellish
visuals (literally) and a pervasive
soundtrack to boot.
Using all the above, Howard
works to create a film with more
gusto than his previous offerings,
but a lack of any real tension
keeps this from anything more
than average.
Performances by Hanks, Felicity

Jones and Ben Foster are passable,
though at this stage of his
career, its clear Hanks really needs
the right script to deliver an
immersive performance. Not that
an Oscar-worthy turn would have
made Inferno stand out from
Da Vinci Code and Angels
and Demons.
The frenetic blur of exposition

and ambiguous details at the start
leaves the audience unengaged.
Unless you very recently studied
Dantes Inferno, its hard to be
entertained by the first act
of Inferno.
Like its predecessors, Inferno
uses similar patterns of
exposition-running-expositiongunning, making it hard to focus
on the messages of the sluggish
narrative formula.
Until the final act, that is. Thanks
to a much-needed twist, the final 40
minutes or so provide some of the
best in the franchise (ugh). While
Howard still could have made it
easier to follow, the climax provides its thrills, particularly with
an appealing duel of contrasting
philosophies that I wish was more
fleshed out over the course of the
film. It provides most, if not all, of
the films emotional energy.
Its just a matter of getting to that
point without leaving the theater
and asking for a refund, which is
easier said than done.

Attention
was a light-hearted read I didnt
realize I needed.
Set in the 1950s,
Liz Rosenbergs
novel reads more
like an adventure
story than historical fiction.
Most of the
story takes place
in Ireland, where
protagonist
Libby cares for
her sickly uncle
and cousin. The
cousin, Lazarus,
was one of the
most interesting
and well-written characters in the book. He was
dynamic and surprising throughout
the story.
Libby breathes new life into the
beautiful country estate and soon
attracts the attention of people
around the village particularly from
an English lord. The story occasionally dipped into the frivolous and
clich, and this was certainly one of
those moments. But the pacing and
well-written characters kept me reading in spite of occasional lulls in plot.
When the
English lord inevitably proposes,
Libby escapes
with her aunt to
Paris.
Libbys stay in
Europe happens
within the second
half of the book;
this is where
it nearly lost
me completely,
but Rosenberg
somehow revived
the story with her
uncanny sense for
pacing, and got
me through what
I found to be a
rather confusing
deviation.
When the book returns to the
strong roots that Rosenberg established in the first half, we are
reacquainted with the conflicts that
Libby set out to resolve. The resolution of this book was satisfying
overall, albeit a little trite.
In spite of the lack of depth,
Beauty and Attention is a fun and
engaging, albeit unrealistic, romp
abroad.
