Food stamps
A federal court judge barred the
New Mexico Human Services
Department from reimposing
work requirements on food
stamp recipients through the
end of the year, a move that
keeps 17,500 people from losing
their benefits. U.S. District Judge
Kenneth Gonzales injunction
stops the imposition of the re-
quirements through Dec. 31. Gov.
Susana Martinez had sought to
impose work requirements on
non-disabled people ages 18-49
receiving food stamps. New
Mexico has the highest unem-
ployment rate in the nation. As of
the end of January, 514,298 New
Mexicans received food stamp
assistance, a 9.7 percent increase
from the same time last year.
Leg traps
Animal Protection of New Mex-
ico and The Humane Society of
the United States filed state and

approved a new rule to allow
cougar trapping on 9 million
acres of state trust land and
trapping on private land without
a permit. Its the first time in

Santolina Seeks $2 Billion in Road, Sewer Subsidies

BY DENNIS DOMRZALSKI

W as it a lie, lawyer talk, extreme hair-splitting or

double-speak?
Last May, attorney John Salazar told the Bernalillo
County Commission that the proposed 14,000-acre
Santolina master-planned community would not
seek a public subsidy to build the roads, sewers,
water lines and other infrastructure the project will
need.
The developer has committed to pay 100 percent
of the project infrastructure, Salazar told the five
commissioners during hearings on the Santolina
master plan.
And theres no request for a subsidy. Theres been
no request that the county provide incentives to
bring this project to the county, he said.
Later, Salazar added, There will be no subsidy for
the developer.
Just eight months later, though, Santolina officials
are asking the county to divert $2 billion of future
county gross receipts and property tax money to the
project to reimburse it for any infrastructure it builds.
That request came in the form of a Feb. 29 applica-
tion by Santolina for 40 tax increment development
districts, or TIDDS, within the project to be built west
of 118th Street and south of I-40. TIDDS funnel $2
billion in property tax revenue generated by the proj-
ect to its developers to reimburse them for building
roads and water and sewer lines on their projects.
Mark Carrel
Salazar said TIDDs are not subsidies because
the tax money that would be diverted to Santolina
would come from taxpayers and property owners that a TIDD is not a subsidy there is the implication Salazar made it sound like any TIDD application

The Sassy Lass Dukes It Out
With the Internet One on One
BY M. BRIANNA STALLINGS
How goes it,
folks? This is
The Sassy Lass,
your friendly
neighborhood
brainiac. Im here to
answer or at least
try to answer
your most curious,
strange and uninhibited questions.
Q: Given the number of bombings
in the Middle East, how long would
it take for Syria to be depopulated as
a result of ISIS suicide attacks and
outmigration?
A: Yowza! Right out of the gate and
Im faced with a heavy one. Well, lets
give it a shot, shall we?
The 2011 Arab Spring uprising
against Syrian president Bashar
al-Assad eventually transformed
turned into a full-scale civil war that
has ravaged the nation. On Feb. 1,
the United Nations announced the
Geneva Syria peace talks, organized
in the hope that the international
community might come together to
find solutions.
Later in the month, The Guard-
ian published bleak news on
casualties of the Syrian Civil War.
Confronting Fragmentation, a
report produced by the Syrian Centre
for Policy Research (SCPR), indicates
that 470,000 people have died since
the Syrian conflict erupted in 2011.
Eighty-five percent of those deaths
were a direct result of violent acts.
Thats almost twice the figure of
250,000 reported by the UN, which
stopped collecting data about a year
and a half ago. It is an underestima-
tion that SCPR report author Rabie
Nasser attributes not to malice, but
a lack of information access in a cri-
sis-addled country.
The Chicago Project on Security and
Terrorism, created by the University
of Chicago, is the home of the Suicide
Attack Database. Try not to think
about how depressing it is that such a
thing is a necessity.
According to the Database, the most
common weapon used in Syrias sui-
cide attacks is the belt bomb. Imagine
transforming your handy uncles
reinforced framers rig that tool belt
with suspenders into an over-the-
shoulder explosive holster, and youve
got some idea of what the average belt
bomb resembles.
In Syria almost 82 percent of suicide
attacks are carried out by someone
outfitted in a belt bomb; its lethality is
80 percent. Sadly, most of us are aware
of how these work: person suits up
with explosives and detonator hidden
under clothes, walks into a heavily
populated area, and takes their own
life as well as the lives of multiple
people nearby. Those not killed suffer
debilitating injuries.
At the time of this writing, Coun-
tryMeters.info estimates Syrias
population to be at 23,270,371, with
the majority of the citizenry being be-
tween 15 and 64 years of age. Over the
course of 50 years (1961-2010), Syrias
average annual population growth
was 3.1314 percent.
That number plummeted between
2011 and 2015, with the average pop-
ulation growth percentage being just
1.122 percent. According to Country-
Meters estimations, there will be a
daily population increase in Syria of
just 581 people this year a number
that is based on an estimated number
of births, deaths and emigration. Yet
last year alone, 84,708 Syrians died,
and the population of Syria declined
by 257,346 as a result of emigration.
With all of this data in mind, how
can we accurately calculate the
amount of time it would take to
eliminate the entire population of
Syria? Given the wide discrepancy of
reported casualties, it seems difficult
to determine. Data sources are all over
the road, and citizens are evacuating
each year by the thousands. Perhaps
instead of asking how long it might
take to erase the denizens of an entire
country, we should continue to focus
on how to provide health, aid, and
stability to those who are still alive.

City Councils Predicament:
No Power in APD-DOJ Process
BY DENNIS DOMRZALSKI
T he words from James Ginger, the
independent monitor in the U.S.
Department of Justices settlement
agreement with the Albuquerque Police
Department, seemed to momentarily
stun the city councilors.
During a March 18 study session on
the progress APD is making in meeting
the requirements of the settlement
agreement, City Council President
Dan Lewis asked Ginger what role the
council has in the process to reform
APD. Ginger replied, I hate to say
this, but you are responsible as an
oversight board. The oversight role is
critical. Ginger added that the council
has to exercise its authority to get APD
moving in the right direction.
That raises the question of what
authority does the council really have
over the process, and what can it do?
What happens if councilors keep
getting reports like that of March 18,
which said that APDs policy-writing
process continues to be a disaster, and
that, 14 months into the reform effort,
almost no progress has been made.
Depending on who you talk to, the
answer is a lot, not much, and that itll
probably take a new mayor.
The council, for instance, cant fire
APD Chief Gorden Eden; only Mayor
Richard Berry can. The council is
barred by the City Charter from med-
dling in day-to-day operations of any
city department. And, there doesnt
seem to be much appetite on the Coun-
cil to do anything right now.
Maybe we should start looking at
bringing in someone who can work
within the department and have that
person be a facilitator, someone who
can tell the council that things arent
going well, Councilor Diane Gibson
told ABQ Free Press. I suppose we
could find them a technical writer. And
we can appeal to the mayor to make
necessary personnel changes.
Councilor Patrick Davis said there
were at least two options. Some coun-
cilors have suggested that we move
forward with a vote of No confidence
against Chief Eden, but that doesnt
force the mayor to make any significant
changes, Davis said. I think the most
likely place that something might tan-
gibly change is through the budget.
Davis explained that APDs current
budget has $500,000 for two dep-
uty chiefs and three majors to help
implement the reform process. The
COLUMNS/NEWS
council could take that money away
and eliminate those positions in next
years budget, he said, adding, That is
probably the most extreme option we
have on the table. By the City Charter,
we cant do much.
Councilor Brad Winter said hes hop-
ing that the policy-writing mess will be
fixed now that APD has hired retired
federal court magistrate Lorenzo Garcia
to take the lead on policy writing.
I dont know, Im hoping, Winter
The City Council
cant fire APD Chief
Gorden Eden; only
Mayor Richard Berry can
said when asked what the Council
could do if it keeps getting negative re-
ports about APD I think [hiring] judge
Garcia is a good thing. I think that will
help the policy issue.
But Councilor Gibson isnt so sure.
During the study session, she asked
City Attorney Jessica Hernandez, But
has he ever written a police policy
before? Hernandez replied, He is not
a police department policy writer by
trade He is an excellent writer.
One person who thinks the Council
can and should do much more is
former councilor Pete Dinelli. He has
long advocated that APDs entire com-
mand staff be fired because many of
them were responsible for the policing
policies at APD that brought the DOJ to
town. He too concedes that councilors
cant fire anyone at City Hall.
Instead, Dinelli said councilors can
pass a bill creating a whole new over-
sight process in the form of a civilian
police commissioner who would be
hired by the council and have to au-
thority to hire and fire people at APD.
The City Council has the authority
to create a department of public safety
and put a commissioner in charge and
give him or her the authority to clean
house, Dinelli said. He added that
other cities have police commissioner
systems that have worked well.
If the Council doesnt act in the next
year, the decision about how to manage
APD will be up to city voters. When
asked how the city gets new people in
at APD, Davis replied: A new mayor.

Never Mind Donald Trump,
N.M. GOP Faces Civil War
BY JOE MONAHAN
T he extreme
divisiveness that
has wreaked havoc
among Republicans
nationally over the
candidacy of Donald
Trump has yet to
reach New Mexico,
but with our June
7 GOP presidential
primary around the corner that relative
peace wont last.
State Republicans are finding plenty
to fight over. Most of it is still under the
radar but its about to burst and spread
like spring pollen.
Weve learned from Republican insiders
that former New Mexico GOP Chairman
Harvey Yates Jr. will take the Republican
infighting public at the Republican state
convention in May where hell challenge
Albuquerque attorney Pat Rogers for the
position of Republican national commit-
teeman.
Rogers is a controversial figure who has
held the job since 2008. But fractures in
the party created during the Martinez
administration have widened, and the
anti-Martinez forces are now ready to
challenge Rogers, with Yates carrying their
flag.
Yates, who hails from a wealthy south-
east New Mexico oil family, has battled
fiercely with powerful Martinez political
consultant Jay McCleskey. McCleskeys
hardball tactics and the stranglehold hes
had on state Republican politics all of it
sanctioned by the governor will be at the
heart of Yates candidacy against Rogers,
McCleskeys long-time ally.
The imminent Yates-Rogers face-off will
be a test of where the party goes in the
post-Martinez era. Susanas term ends in
2018. Already a GOP 2018 gubernatorial
primary contest between Lt. Gov. John
Sanchez and Albuquerque Mayor Richard
Berry, a client of McCleskeys, appears to
be shaping up.
A Berry primary victory, or one by an-
other candidate McCleskey comes up with
if Berry continues to sink in the polls and
is deemed unelectable, could extend the
grip that Rogers, McCleskey and company
have had on the party since they pushed
Martinez into the Governors chair in 2010.
That would not be an ideal outcome for
numerous Republicans.
A recent FBI and federal grand jury
investigation of McCleskey ended without
indictments, but the wounds of that probe
are sore and open. Two former Martinez
fundraisers Andrea Goff and Cecilia
Martinez made news when they reacted
to the feds failure to indict by saying
they fear retribution for cooperating with
the probe, which focused on McCleskeys

a.m. at the National Hispanic Cultural
Center, 1701 Fourth Street S.W., and
returns there.
A fiesta begins at noon. The free event
will feature live music, dance perfor-
mances, local poets, childrens activities,
and the annual Si Se Puede awards.
This years keynote speaker this year is
Carlos Marentes, co-founder of the Border
Farm Worker Center.
One of the incredible but true stories
that Marentes talks about is the 1977
march from Austin, Texas, to Washington,
D.C., he helped organize to pressure
at the White House, they were told
the President was meeting with a Latin
American dignitary and could not see
them. Carters guest turned out to be
Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.
In a virulently racist political climate
where Donald Trump unabashedly
degrades Mexican immigrants, show your
solidarity with some of the most exploited
members of our community. For more

People dont realize that some UNM
students come from farm worker families.
Farm Worker Awareness Week is March
28-31 at the UNM Student Union Build-
ing, organized by the Campus Migrant
Assistance Program, which helps migrant
farm workers attend college. Enjoy music,
poetry, seminars, and art while learning
about farmworkers.
There will be a blood drive. The

T
he Albuquerque Bernalillo County
Water Utility Authority has agreed to
pay a $33,500 fine and build a pipeline
to a South Valley wildlife refuge in a
settlement with the EPA over a 2015 spill
that sent 6 million gallons of partially
treated sewage into the Rio Grande.
The pipeline will run from the South-
side Wastewater Reclamation Plant on
Second Street Southwest about 4.5 miles
to the 570-acre Valle del Oro National
Wildlife Refuge, also on Second Street,
the EPA said.
Reclaimed water carried by the
pipeline will be used in the refuge to ir-
rigate: landscaping along a bike path on
Second Street running from Rio Bravo
Boulevard to the refuges entrance;
parks and street median projects in the
area; and landscaping at Mountain View
Elementary School.
The pipeline will cost $400,000 and
must be completed by June 2018,
ABCWUA David Morris said.
The spill occurred on Feb. 27, 2015,
when a power surge during a storm
knocked out electricity to a pump and a
sewer-lift station at the treatment plant
at 4201 Second St. S.W.
After power was restored to the
lift station, the pump station didnt
work, causing partially treated sewage
to overflow out of massive concrete
retention ponds, onto the ground and
into the Rio Grande.
The spill caused high levels of E. coli
contamination in the river, and was a
violation of the federal Clean Water
Act.
At the time, ABCWUA Chief Operat-
ing Officer John Stomp said the spill
occurred because of poor equipment
maintenance. Two water utility employ-
ees lost their jobs as a result.
After the spill, the EPA ordered the
ABCWUA to install backup equipment
so as to prevent another power outage
and spill.
The reclamation plant treats 55 million
gallons of sewage a day.
T wo corrections officers assigned to
transport convicts Joseph Cruz and
Lionel Clah worked an 18-hour shift
the day the prisoners escaped, accord-
ing to Secretary of Corrections Gregg
Marcantel.
The long shifts were necessitated
because the transport van they were
driving was delayed leaving the Cen-
tral New Mexico Correctional Facility,
Marcantel said. He wouldnt say what
caused the vans late departure.
Until I actually have a completed
critical incident review, I wont be able
to talk in definite terms. All I can tell
you right now is it left later that day
than it should have, he said.
Officers are assigned transport or-
ders with a starting point, stops to
make, and an ending point, Marcan-
tel said. They are then responsible for
completing the transport order, regard-
less of how many hours it takes to do
so, before they are relieved from duty,
he said.

T he Albuquerque Isotopes are extend-
ing their safety nets to the outfield
ends of each dugout for the coming
season.
Fan safety is of the utmost im-
portance to us and we support the
commissioners recommendations, said
Isotopes General Manager John Traub,
referring to recommendations from
both Major League Baseball and Minor
League Baseball.
With the change, 22 percent of seats
at the city-owned Isotopes Park will
have protective netting between them
and the field.
The move is drawing some criticism.
Isotopes fan Tom Thompson sits about
seven rows behind the visitors dugout.
I would hate to look through a net.
Thompson said. He believes the chance
of getting hit with a foul ball is small. I
have had more instances with lightning
than with a baseball, he said.
Fred Creek, a season ticket holder,
prefers a clear view but supports the
teams decision. Personally, I prefer to
watch a game without the protective
netting. ... However, I played a lot of
organized baseball when I was a young
man, so I understand the risks and know
the rhythm of the game better than
most fans. Creek said.
Despite posted warnings that fans be
alert for foul balls, some fans dont pay
attention to play on the field, Creek
said. I am willing to forgo my pleasure
in having an unobstructed view of the
game in order to protect the fans who
find pleasure visiting with their friends
rather than paying attention to base-
ball, he said.
Despite the netting, Isotopes spokes-
man Kevin Collins said players will
continue to interact with fans, signing
autographs and tossing them balls.
Asked how players could toss balls to
fans with netting between them, Collins
said, We have no specifics on that. Its
new for everyone.
The Isotopes season begins on April
15 when they face the Tacoma Rainiers.
The following night is Holly Holm night.
The first 3,000 fans to arrive at the
park on April 16 will receive Holly Holm
bobblehead dolls.
Despite Holms loss of the UFC ban-
tamweight title to Meisha Tate, Our
feelings about Holly have not changed
in the slightest, Collins said. Were
very proud to share a home city with an
incredible athlete like Holly.

of Santa Fe, where it picked up Cruz
and Clah. From there, it traveled to the
Roswell Correctional Center before
making a fuel stop in Artesia, where au-
thorities say the two men escaped.
The van then traveled another 177
miles to Las Cruces, where the officers
noticed Cruz and Clah were missing.
In all, the officers traveled roughly
514 miles that day.
Other states
Marcantel told ABQ Free Press that
long working hours are no excuse for the
officers allowing the inmates to escape.
I want to underscore something.
Ive been in public safety for 30, what
would it be now, at least 35 years. And
I have worked frequently tired, he
said. So one of the things I must say
is while I acknowledge the long day...I
will not allow that to be an excuse for
not doing their jobs.
Spokespeople for corrections depart-
ments of several neighboring states
told the ABQ Free Press that transport
officers are not permitted to work such
long shifts.
Terri Watkins, spokesperson for the
Oklahoma Department of Corrections,
said transport officers in Oklahoma
work four ten-hour shifts a week,
though she did allow that there may be
occasional exceptions.
I cant say under no circumstances,
because this is corrections, and all sorts
of crazy things happen. I can tell you
standard operating procedure, and
under most circumstances, they are as-
signed a four-day, ten-hour-a-day work
shift, she said.
Asked why the hours are limited,
Watkins said it was a safety issue.
Well, theyre driving, is part of it, and
thats for the safety of themselves and
the other people on the road, she said.
Similarly, a spokesperson for the Col-
orado Department of Corrections told
ABQ Free Press via email that transpor-
tation officers are assigned to four ten-
hour shifts a week, though shifts could
be extended due to traffic or extreme
weather conditions, but would not usu-
ally be for more than two hours.
A spokesperson for the Texas cor-
rections department said in an email
that transport shifts do not exceed 12
hours. However, in unforeseen circum-
stances (emergencies, escapes, distur-
bances, weather, etc.) they could work
up to 16 hours.
An Arizona Department of Correc-
tions spokesman declined to comment,
referring us to Department Order
512 in their online policy handbook.
Order 512, which covers Employee
Pay, Work Hours, Compensation and
Leave does not appear to set a maxi-
mum time limit for corrections officers
workdays, though it does mandate that
supervisors shall carefully monitor
unscheduled work and keep overtime
to a minimum. It later notes that over-
time may be approved for an escape
or disturbance.
The Utah Department of Corrections
did not respond to our request for com-
ment by press time.
Low pay
Marcantel said New Mexico cor-
rections officers, including transport
officers, often work long hours and
overtime in the state because the de-
partment is understaffed.
Overtime has become a
more-than-regular issue for the cor-
rections department, he said. Given
our staffing vacancy rates, not only is
it overtime that staff are allowed to opt
into, its really frequently forced over-
time, based on our staffing vacancies.
Low pay for New Mexico correc-
tions officers means most officers leave
within 36 months for better pay in an-
other state, Marcantel said.
In February, the Legislature ap-
proved a $4.5 million appropriation
for the Corrections Department to
Kurhan
implement an occupationally based
salary structure that brings custody
staff salaries to the minimum of the
pay bands and to provide targeted
salary increases to custody staff for
the purpose of reducing compaction
and improving employee recruitment
and retention. Marcantel said the pay
raises will go into effect in July. He
hopes staffing levels will increase.
As for the transport officers 18-hour
shift, he said the long hours are part of
the reason they use two transport offi-
cers. Thats one of the advantages of a
two-man team, is one can drive while
the other just rests and watches, he said.
Both escapees were found in Al-
buquerque and back in custody in
less than 72 hours. Cruz was captured
near Central Avenue and University
Boulevard and Clah was captured a
day later in an apartment in Northeast
Albuquerque after resident Michelle
Abeyta turned him in.
Abeyta is now being charged with
harboring or aiding a felon and will not
receive the $10,000 reward promised by
the U.S. Marshals for information lead-
ing to Clahs capture.

HSC Overhaul Shifted Power from Community, CEO
BY JOEY PETERS
New Mexico Political Report
A sudden overhaul in governance
of the states largest public med-
ical institution has left several people
questioning the motivations behind
the changes.
One such skeptic is Mel Eaves, a
now-former community member
of the board of directors that made
recommendations on the University of
New Mexico Health Sciences Center.
HSC operates the universitys medical
school, nursing school, two hospitals
and the cancer center.
To Eaves, the motivation for the
overhaul stems from other entities
wanting a piece of HSCs $220 million
sitting in reserves, earmarked in part
for the construction of a new hospital
to replace UNMH, which was built in
the 1950s.
Eaves, an outspoken proponent for
the new hospital, saw his position on
the board abruptly eliminated follow-
ing last weeks controversial 4-2 vote
by regents.
I have no question in my mind that
control of those reserves is a major
impetus for this reorganization that is
under way, he said in an interview.
$50 million at issue
State government made at least one
recent attempt to get a large sum of
money from HSC.
In early February, the New Mexico
Human Services Department, which
handles Medicaid and food stamps for
New Mexico, met with HSC leader-
ship.
They wanted $50 million from the
UNM hospital to cover the Medicaid
shortfall, Ava Lovell, senior executive
for finance and administration at HSC,
said in an interview.
New Mexico faces a $417 million
deficit in the federal health program
for the poor. This came amid a dire
budget situation that resulted in cuts
throughout the state budget.
Its not unusual for HSC to provide
Medicaid money to the state. Each
year, HSC gives the state roughly $20
million in what are called intergov-
ernmental transfers for Medicaid. In
those cases, matched federal money
for Medicaid then goes back to HSC.
But this time the state was asking for
something unusual $50 million that
wouldnt flow directly back to HSC.
Lovell, who was not at the meeting,
told NM Political Report that her
information came from HSC Chief
Executive Officer Paul Roth.
UNM Hospital is one of the facilities a new three-member committee of the UNM regents
will control.
Both HSD Secretary Brent Earnest
and state Finance and Administration
Secretary Tom Clifford made requests
for the money at the meeting, accord-
ing to Lovell. Also present at the meet-
ing were Roth, UNM President Bob
Frank, UNM Executive Vice President
and Chief Operating Officer David
Harris and UNM Hospital CEO Steve
McKernan. UNM Regent Rob Doughty
joined in on the phone.
Roth and McKernan told the others
that they could not simply fork over
$50 million without the hospitals
board of trustees, the HSC board
of directors and the UNM regents
approving the exchange.
Earnest and Clifford then dropped
their request.
The state folks didnt want that
request to be public, so it never went
anywhere, Lovell said.
Spokespeople for both agencies didnt
respond to requests for comment for
this story before press time.
That $220 million is a major reason
for them to block the new hospital,
Eaves said. The governor wants it for
HSD.
The overhaul
Until the controversial regent vote
took place last week, the HSC board
consisted of five regents and two re-
gent-appointed community members.
The board made recommendations on
HSC issues to the regents, who had the
authority to accept or reject them.
But the changes, authored by
regents Rob Doughty and Marron Lee,
File Photo
eliminated the HSC board and instead
replaced it with a committee of three
regents.
Documents obtained by NM Politi-
cal Report show that an attorney with
UNMs Office of University Counsel
started making draft changes to the
guidelines governing HSCs board
of directors on Feb. 5 just two days
after the states failed request for $50
million.
UNM spokeswoman Dianne
Anderson confirmed that the univer-
sitys legal counsel started making the
revisions on requests from Doughty
and Lee.
Eaves contends the quick timing of
the proposed changes after the states
$50 million request is no coincidence.
Doughty and Lees formal proposal
didnt become public until March 11,
just three days before the regent meet-
ing where the controversial vote took
place.
Regent Suzanne Quillen, who voted
against the overhaul, said she and Re-
gent Bradley Hosmer didnt hear that
a proposed overhaul was underway
until March 9.
It was being worked on and
nobody brought it up for a month,
Quillen said. We didnt know any-
thing until we requested it in writing.
During the March 14 regent meet-
ing, roughly 50 people spoke publicly
against the overhaul, asking regents to
either reject it outright or at least delay
the vote. Local lawmakers, students
and HSC staff spoke against the pro-
posal for three hours.
newS
Following the vote, Doughty told
reporters that he didnt alert Quillen or
Hosmer about the proposed changes
because he felt it would violate the
[state] Open Meetings Act, which re-
quires public bodies to discuss matters
in public when in quorum. A rolling
quorum is when members of a public
body meet one on one, without a
quorum, to discuss a certain issue and
reach consensus.
Doughty added that he spoke about
the proposal with Lee and Regent Jack
Forner before it went public.
He also denied that regents were
blocking building a new hospital.
The HSC chancellor
More ambiguous is how the changes
affect Roth, who also serves as dean
of the UNM School of Medicine and
is the states the second-highest paid
public employee.
Roths existing employment
contract with HSC gives him full
authority over all revenues, per-
sonnel including deans and faculty
and operational matters associated
with the HSCs research, clinical and
educational programs as necessary to
exercise his responsibilities as Chief
Executive Officer of the HSC.
A provision in Roths contract reads
that he will accept no other employ-
ment that would be inconsistent with
such responsibilities.
But Doughty and Lees authored
changes removed Roths full oversight
authority over HSC property, finances,
staff and legal matters and subjected
them to approval of UNM President
Frank.
Shortly before the Regents made a
vote, Roth told the public that UNM
President Frank would immediately
reinstate Roths role as CEO. After
the vote, Roth said in a statement
that he was grateful to Frank for
clarifying that I will continue as CEO
of the UNM Health System, with all
of the responsibilities and authorities
commensurate with that.
Doughty also told reporters after the
vote that Roth stays in charge of the
day-to-day operations of HSC. An
HSC spokesman told NM Political Re-
port that HSCs press office was in the
process of learning what that entails.

N.M. Enviro Chief: Leave ABQ Nuke Waste As Is
BY bob klein
C itizens Action New Mexico,
a local environmental group,
is condemning the New Mexico
Environment Departments decision
to leave a Cold War-era Sandia
National Laboratories nuclear and
chemical waste landfill basically
undisturbed in covered shallow
trenches south of Kirtland Air Force
Base.
With the addition of a bio-in-
trusion barrier to keep water and
animals out, the 2.6-acre remnant of
lab nuclear experiments will remain
in place at the south end of the
base with no clear understanding
by state or local officials of what it
contains.
The CANM group argues that the
landfill poses a threat to groundwa-
ter that when the volatile chemical
waste within it comes into contact
with water, it could explode and
send a radioactive plume into the
atmosphere.
The mixed-waste landfill (MWL), surrounded
by three-strand barbed wire, is located in a piece
of windswept desert about 4.8 miles from the
Albuquerque Veterans Administration Center. Its
roughly equidistant from Gibson Boulevard South-
east and Isleta Pueblo.
Ryan Flynn, secretary of the New Mexico Envi-
ronment Department, decided on Feb. 12 that with
proper monitoring, the landfill poses no threat to
Albuquerques groundwater, even as he acknowl-
edged no one knows whats in it.
The public has a right to know what is buried in
the MWL, Flynn wrote. He stated that advocates
for more disclosure have a point that records, some
of which go back to 1959, dont accurately reveal
whats in the barrels of waste.
New Mexico Environment
Department Secretary
Ryan Flynn decided on Feb. 12
that with proper monitoring,
the landfill poses no threat to
Albuquerques groundwater,
even as he acknowledged
no one knows whats in it
In his decision to leave the waste under a dirt
cover, he acknowledged that CANM, which sued
to get 5,000 documents about the landfill under the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), had reason to
doubt the veracity of federal and state officials.
CANM understandably harbor[s] feelings of
distrust toward both NMED and DOE, Flynn
wrote. While NMED has provided CANM all of
the records regarding the contents of the MWL in its
possession, custody or control, the issue regarding
ABQ FREE PRESS March 23April 5, 2016 11
the material disposed in the MWL needs to be
unequivocally addressed once and for all.
The group has argued that Flynns decision to
leave the waste undisturbed the least expensive
option ignored documents and testimony that
leaving it as is poses a significant threat to health
and safety.
Its the usual whitewash, said Dave McCoy,
executive director of CANM.
In its FOIA request, CANM found internal memos
the group argues point to a conspiracy among lab
and Department of Energy officials during the 1960s
to conceal the contents of the landfill.
More recently, a 2010 EPA Office of Inspector Gen-
eral report raised questions about the groundwater
monitoring network around the landfill and how the
public may have been misled about its effectiveness.
In addition to a hodge-podge of low-level radio-
active waste, CANM alleges the landfill contains
high-level nuclear waste, including 119 drums of
plutonium- and americium-contaminated waste.
The landfill also contains thorium, cesium-137,
strontium-90, and hundreds of tons of depleted
uranium-238 and even a radioactive fire truck. The
landfill has been leaking radioactive and hazard-
ous chemicals for decades. In 1974, there were two
depleted uranium fires, records show.
Sandia denies there is any high-level waste in the
landfill, which contains the debris of early nuclear
reactor meltdowns and everything from soil brought
back from Pacific nuclear tests to plutonium-contam-
inated medical debris from testing on animals, nor
was anything withheld during the review process.
All technical information and opinions presented
about the Mixed Waste Landfill were included in
the administrative record for consideration by the
NMED Secretary, said James Danneskiold, a lab
spokesman. This is based on regulatory procedures
that include issuing public notice, inviting public
comment, and holding a public hearing.
NMED has declined to respond to
repeated requests for comment from
ABQ Free Press for this and previous
articles about the landfill.
McCoy said that in his decision,
Flynn failed to examine the sig-
nificance of documents showing
that the groundwater monitoring
network was known to be defective.
Additionally, documents for 1960-
1964 were destroyed, McCoy said,
during the period when chemical
waste was being dumped into the
MWL. So they have no idea of the
real extent of the problem.
This is not something you find in
your grandfathers dump, said Eric
Nutall, a University of New Mex-
ico professor emeritus in chemical
and nuclear engineering who has
worked with CANM to review the
5,000 documents obtained through
Stock Image
its FOIA request.
Its dangerous waste material and
highly toxic. In regards to future
land use, you cant build on it, you cant even con-
struct a parking lot on it, Nutall said.
CANM said the potential danger the landfill poses
was demonstrated when a nuclear landfill in Beatty,
Utah, exploded and caught fire this past October.
Utah environmental officials concluded that metallic
sodium in corroded steel drums came in contact
with water and exploded.
This is not something you find in
your grandfathers dump
Its dangerous waste material
and highly toxic
Eric Nuttall, University of New Mexico
professor emeritus in chemical and nuclear engineering
CANM alleges that Flynn, in his decision to
basically maintain the status quo, ignored records
showing that the partially known contents of the
landfill are dangerous enough to require more exten-
sive measures, such as full encasement in a concrete
coffin or moving the 119 of drums to a deep, under-
ground storage site.
He doesnt address the amounts of mercury
documented in the disposal sheets and clearly didnt
want to deal with the volatile metallic sodium listed
on the sheets, the same material that spontaneously
ignited and exploded in Utah under conditions
frighteningly similar to what we have here in the
MWL, Nutall said.
In 2003, the cost of digging up the radioactive
material and moving it for storage elsewhere was
estimated at between $545 million and $702 million.
That cost, plus the potential exposure to workers, is
why Sandia says excavation was rejected.

Ministers of Propaganda
BY DAN VUKELICH
T hrough the New Mexico
Inspection of Public Records
Act, Ive discovered the City
doesnt have a written news
media policy.
Records show that last July,
during the mayors brief stab at
transparency, a city employee
emailed municipalities across the
country asking how they treat
the news media. By and large,
the answers went something
like this from Portland, Ore.:
Ive never said no to anyone
who wants to receive our press
releases or press alerts.
You can imagine that getting
information from the city about
breaking police and fire news,
the mayors and top city officials
availabilities, news conferences
and the like would be important
to us.
Well, we get none of that.
We learn about news confer-
ences when we see them on TV.
Same with Gorden Eden on the
steps of APD headquarters tak-
ing questions from reporters. Do
we have questions for the mayor
and Eden? You betcha.
Instead, we get news releases
entitled, Collaborative Spirit
Defines New City ACVB Con-
tract, and Video Launched to
Encourage 311 App Downloads
and similar pablum.
We routinely received news
alerts until January, when we
were dropped from the list.
When we inquired of Rhiannon
Schroeder, the mayors spokes-
woman, she promised to look
into it but never replied further.
That happens a lot with her.
When we emailed APD spokes-
man Tanner Tixier, he did not
respond.
On March 7, I appeared before
the City Council to alert coun-
cilors of the mayors and APDs
disparate treatment of this news-
paper. Under questioning by
councilors, City Attorney Jessica
Hernandez revealed there are
multiple news media notification
lists.
I told the City Council there is
an almost identical case in Santa
Fe District Court against Gov. Su-
sana Martinez, filed by the Santa
Fe Reporter. The suit alleges
that the governor has frozen the
Reporter out of everything. No
phone calls, no emails, no notices
of news conferences, zero, zippo,
nada.
EDitorial
Mayor Richard Berry and
Martinez share a scorched-earth
political adviser, Jay McCles-
key, who adheres to a policy of
rewarding friends while punish-
ing enemies. Perhaps our Dec. 30
cover of a 911 dispatcher fielding
a call from a drunken woman
saying Pizz-zah pissed off Jay
and he called down to Berry and
said, screw em.
Weve gotten the same freeze-
out from the governor as the
Reporter, by the way, although
some state agency spokespeople
put their jobs on the line by
occasionally calling us back or
maybe they never got the memo.
At City Hall, there is evidence
of enmity toward us. Chief
Administrative Officer Rob Perry,
in response to a story we broke
last year, told KOAT-TVs Nancy
Laflin to discount what we wrote
because were an underground
newspaper.
Were not newbies, nor are we
unaware that relations between
politicians and the media can
get unpleasant at times. But in
34 years in the business here,
covering eight City Hall adminis-
trations and six governors, weve
never seen anything quite like this.
In all, between this writer and
Associate Editor Dennis Dom-
rzalski, were something like
0-for-50 in calls, emails and texts
to City Hall seeking comment.
Its their right not to talk to us
if they dont want to tell their
side of the story, but we believe
theyve gone too far.
There is federal case law that a
government entity cant engage
in viewpoint discrimination
against a media outlet because of
its religious affiliation or critical
news coverage. Doing so violates
the news outlets First Amend-
ment right. Thats the premise of
the Reporters case against Mar-
tinez. On May 8, the Reporters
case goes before District Judge
Stephen T. Pacheco.
Well soon find out then
whether the Susana-Berry
practice of choking off public
discourse, rewarding friends
and punishing enemies with tax
dollars, and turning public infor-
mation officers into ministers of
propaganda will be tolerated.

Your Guide to the APD
Reform Process, or Not
BY DENNIS DOMRZALSKI
P ete Dinelli is on
track when he asks,
Should we all laugh or
cry together?
The former city coun-
cilor is talking about the
APD reform process,
which has become both
a tragedy and a comedy,
and which is ever so close to becoming a
farce.
The Albuquerque Police Department
cant, or wont, write policies that meet
national standards. The independent mon-
itor in APDs settlement agreement with
the U.S. Department of Justice has accused
APD of using delaying tactics in an effort to
derail reform.
City councilors seem to lack the will to
challenge the APD brass or Mayor Berrys
administration, although based on their re-
cent questions to the chief and city attorney,
some are beginning to smell a rat.
The latest act in this strange play came on
March 18 when City Attorney Jessica Her-
nandez made a statement that would cause
anyone with just even few working brain
cells to convulse in disbelief and laugh and
cry at the same time.
One reason APD hasnt been able to write
acceptable policy, Hernandez told city coun-
cilors, was that its leaders Chief Gorden
Eden and Assistant Chief Robert Huntsman
felt they were forbidden by the DOJ from
asking for help.
Albuquerques two top-ranking cops
believed they could not adapt successful
policies from other police departments. Nor
did they believe, they say, that they could
crib model policies developed by profes-
sional police organizations.
In other words, they felt APD staffers
had to write their own policies from scratch
and in a vacuum, no matter how lacking in
expertise and training, and no matter how
much expertise and how many successful
policies were out there simply for the asking.
This fundamental misunderstanding of
APDs reform mission is especially ironic

Maybe its a ploy to do nothing and wait
Ginger out and send him packing with $4
million of our money.
The play gets sadder when you think
of what Ginger did or didnt say to APDs
brass months ago. His team and APD went
back and forth for months over APDs
inept, time-consuming and expensive effort
to develop a use-of-force policy.
The haggling cost $100,000 of Gingers
teams time. Its unknown what the cost
to APD was in wasted staff time. And
then there are other proposed policies that
Ginger said he almost immediately tossed
in the trashbecause they were useless.
Our two top-ranking cops
believed they could not use
successful policies from other
police departments. Nor did
they believe, they say, that
they could adapt model
policies developed by
professional police
organizations
Ginger has been here since last summer.
Youd think that after getting bushels full of
bad policies, he would have picked up his
phone, called APD and said, Hey goof-
balls, this is nutty. If you dont know how to
write this stuff yourself, copy some policies
from departments that have gotten it right,
or some model policies that are online.
Its not that hard. All it takes is a couple of
phone calls and a couple clicks of a mouse.
Apparently something like that finally
did happen, but not until earlier this month.
What the hell have we been paying for?
And then theres Gingers recent state-
ment to city councilors that it is they who
are responsible for ensuring that the reform
effort succeeds.
But last year when councilors asked to
meet with Ginger, the DOJ wouldnt allow
it. So, councilors were supposed to exercise
their oversight authority when the guy who
had the information wouldnt meet with
them? Its all so charmingly dysfunctional.
Its a delightfully entertaining playif

Donald Trump and the Rise of Fascism in America
BY robert reich
I ve been reluctant
to use the f
word to describe
Donald Trump
because its espe-
cially harsh, and
its too often used
carelessly.
Trump has finally
reached a point where parallels be-
tween his presidential campaign and
the fascists of the first half of the 20th
century lurid figures such as Benito
Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler,
Oswald Mosley, and Francisco Franco
are too evident to overlook.
Its not just that Trump recently
quoted Mussolini (he now calls that
tweet inadvertent) or that hes begun
inviting followers at his rallies to
raise their right hands in a manner
chillingly similar to the Nazi heil
salute (he dismisses such comparison
as ridiculous.)
The parallels go deeper.
As did the early 20th-century
fascists, Trump is focusing his cam-
paign on the angers of White working
people who have been losing eco-
nomic ground for years and who are
easy prey for demagogues seeking to
build their own power by scapegoat-
ing others.
Trumps electoral gains have been
largest in counties with lower than
average incomes and among those
who report their personal finances
have worsened. As The Washington
Posts Jeff Guo has pointed out,
Trump performs best in places where
middle-aged Whites are dying the
fastest.
The economic stresses almost a cen-
tury ago that culminated in the Great
Depression were far worse than most
of Trumps followers have experi-
enced, but theyve suffered something
that in some respects is more painful
failed expectations.
Many grew up during the 1950s and
1960s, during a postwar prosperity
that lifted all boats. That prosper-
ity gave their parents a better life.
Trumps followers naturally expected
that they and their children would
also experience economic gains. They
have not.
Add fears and uncertainties about
terrorists who may be living among
us or may want to sneak through our
borders, and this vulnerability and
powerlessness is magnified.

A Tale of Two Coaches,
And the Guy Who Hired Them
BY RICHARD STEVENS
R ip Van Winkle
once dozed off
for 20 years. Paul
Krebs nap wasnt so
long. He woke up
after just five years.
The burning
question around
Lobo Land lately
is whether Krebs, New Mexicos vice
president of athletics, should have fired
Lobo womens basketball coach Yvonne
Sanchez.
A better question is why Sanchez was
hired in the first place.
And heres another sweet one: If Paul
Mr. Hindsight Krebs would have fired
Sanchez as he should have and almost
did after her 1-7 start in 2014-15, he
would have saved UNM $150,000. San-
chezs initial contract ended at the close of
the 2015 season.
Its a sad decline for a
once-promising program
that could have been
avoided five years ago
when Don Flanagan
resigned
What was this man thinking? Instead of
firing her back then, he gave an extension
to a coach he knew wasnt the coach
for the job. And riddle me this: Why did
Sanchez sign a four-year extension that
included a paltry $150,000 buyout on a job
that pays $266,240 a year? What was this
coach thinking?
The curious thing about this firing is
that it is bringing heat on Krebs. He fired
a coach who ended up being Coach of the
Year (2015) in a gosh-awful conference.
He fired a born-and-raised New Mexican.
He fired a minority. Its also pathetic that
a local minority voice has tried to claim
this firing was racially motivated. This is a
disservice to anyone actually discriminated
against by an employer.
Sanchez was fired, simply, because she is
not a good D-I coach and her Lobos were
not a good D-I team. Krebs knew this a
year and a half ago.
Sanchez, after the firing, complained to
the local media that Krebs did not attend
a lot of her teams games. Had he, he
might have noticed how poorly the Lobo
women performed. He also might have
noticed all the empty seats in The Pit uh,
kind of like mens basketball!
Its a sad decline for a once-promising
program that could have been avoided
five years ago when Don Flanagan
resigned. Back then, the womens program

CALLING ALL PETS
was on the cusp of becoming one of the
premier programs in the West. Rather than
conduct a search, Krebs hired the local
favorite. He was lazy.
Its not the first time. Krebs gave Craig
Neal an extension after Neal won big with
Steve Alfords players. UNM didnt have
much of a buyout with Sanchez ($150,000),
but dumping Neal comes with a $1 million
buyout.
Heres a suggestion: Cut $100,000 from
Krebs salary and come contract time cut
$100,000 from Neals salary and lure a
big-time womens coach.
Which brings up another burning ques-
tion: Despite the cost, can Krebs afford not
to fire Neal?
The community is rapidly turning against Helen Leavy sent us this photo of her Heeler-mix rescue dog

Neal, like Sanchez, was moved from

(Wasnt Neal really an Alex Kirk hiring?)
Looking at the record, there are at least
two reasons to suggest it was a move Neal

Bites of Burque: Inaugural Edition

by TY BANNERMAN

Keep truckin
Last year, the City Council passed a
controversial ordinance that prohibited
food trucks from setting up within 100
feet of an existing brick-and-mortar
restaurant.
After a barrage of complaints that
the rule made it impossible for popular
mobile eateries to find a place to park,
especially Downtown, the Council
revised the rules on March 7.
Now food trucks must maintain
a reduced 75-foot buffer zone from
restaurants and can ignore the zone
if said restaurant is closed. As the
city continues to seek a solution that
satisfies both food truck owners and
restaurants, expect the Council to
revisit these rules again soon.

The Graduate Scores High Marks

by BARRY GAINES

S et in the 1960s, The Graduate

tells the story of an aimless young
college grad, a seductive older woman,
that womans daughter and the Gor-
dian knot of their forbidden relation-
ships. Plastics are the ultimate sym-
bol of sell-out commercialism, and the
sky is and isnt always blue in Aux Dog
Theatres thoughtful production of
Terry Johnsons The Graduate.
Nearly 50 years ago, the late Mike
Nichols 1967 filmic version of The
Graduate burst on to the screen. Nom-
inated for Best Picture, Nichols also
won the Oscar for best directing. As
great as the flick is, Aux Dogs stage
adaptation brings new perspective to
audiences, even those who are familiar
with the movie.
Based on Charles Webbs 1963 no-
vella, the narrative is tricky but not
all that complicated. Having gradu-
ated from a college back East, 20-year-
old Benjamin Braddock returns home
to upscale southern California and his
doting, if clueless, parents.
He doesnt want a successful but
predictable life like his father. Simon
& Garfunkel lyrics are showcased in
both the film and the play, and they
ably express Bens disillusioned mind-
set: People talking without speaking /
People hearing without listening / And
the people bowed and prayed / To the

At a celebration given by his parents,
Ben encounters Mrs. Robinson, the ne-
glected, alcoholic wife of his fathers
best friend. When she gets Ben alone,
Mrs. Robinson gets aggressively sug-
gestive, leaving no doubt that shes
available for a sexual relationship.
Both perplexed and aroused, Ben
engages in an affair with Mrs. Rob-
inson. In postcoital conversation at a
fancy hotel, Ben brings up her daugh-
ter Elaine, a college student at Berke-
ley; the mothers protective hackles are
raised, and she forbids Ben from hav-
ing any contact with Elaine.
Prodded by his parents, who are
blissfully unaware of the affair, Ben
takes Elaine out. And then he likes her.
No, he loves her. He wants to marry
her. Mrs. Robinson is furious. While

Pub stop at Alien
I visited the newly rebranded Alien
Brew Pub the other day, mainly to
try the beer and food although I also
wanted to clarify my stance on the
1947 Roswell crash.
The redesigned space, which used
to house ABQ Brew Pub, is now
bedecked with gray and green bug-
eyed humanoids presumably from the
region of Chiron Beta-5. The moody
lighting gives the joint an appro-
priately cosmic vibe. Its a welcome
change from the typical generic
brewpub dcor.
The menu here has been spruced up
too. We started with bacon-wrapped
dates a lovely mix of sweet and sa-
vory with cranberry-balsamic reduc-
tion drizzled all overand a pile of
Buffalo wings.
Both appetizers went beautifully
with my massive 22-oz. Black Hole
IPA, a dark pale ale with a touch
of floral hops that evaporate quickly
in favor of a strong bitter bite. My
wife tried the Galaxy lager, which
was surprisingly malty and made
for a perfectly refreshing, bolstering
springtime pour.

For my entre, I ordered the Alien

monstrosity with red chile aioli and
strips of breaded, deep-fried green
chile. My wife tried the Atlantic cod
fish tacos and was pleased though
the slightly-sweet breading made her
apprehensive about her wheat allergy.
All in all, our experience at Alien
Brew Pub made for a nice change of
pace for Uptown dining. Although, I
must admit, I didnt get any answers
about the Roswell crash.

March in Albuquerque. As I feared,
the notorious March winds got the
better of us. Nature cares not for
deadlines.
People ask me where I
went to school, and I tell
them. But if people ask
me where I got my educa-
tion, I tell them that I got
it at the Guild Cinema
A.J. Woods
By the time we actually met, it was
so blustery out that I half-expected to
see Winnie-the-Pooh flying Piglet by
his scarf like a kite. Like the kind-
hearted bear, Woods was a good sport
throughout our Windsday chat.
Tell me about The Fence. What were
some of the influences for your songs?
Its a collection of songs. Some are
new, some of them Ive been working
on for 10 years almost. Its hard to say
where they come from. Its kinda like
I put an antenna out, and then they
come.
Why did you want to meet at the
park at first, and what significance
does the natural world have on your
creative process?
I mentioned the park because its a
beautiful place with big old-growth
cottonwood trees and decent shade. I
definitely pull some influence from the
natural world. I grew up in New Mex-
ico, Im from Albuquerque and I feel
like I have a definite connection with
the land and the natural world here.
Whyd you choose the Guild as the
venue for your album release?
I love that theater, and I thought it
would be cool to release my material
in a place that has such distinctly
wonderful intellectual property com-
ing to it. Theyre very selective about
the films they show and about putting
good things on there.
Ive seen so many wonderful films
there. People ask me where I went to
school, and I tell them. But if people
ask me where I got my education,
I tell them that I got it at the Guild
Cinema.
What do you appreciate most about
the Albuquerque music scene?
The diversity of everything. Theres a
wonderful noise music scene here that
I really appreciate. Theres so many
layers to our scene. Its cool because a
lot of it happens on the underground
level, in houses or art spaces.
Its not Los Angeles or another one
of these big entertainment district cit-
ies. It seems like weve been protected
from the kind of corruption that
comes from big money entertainment
here. The people who make music
and art in this city are more interested
Johnny Gomez
in self-expression and the genuine
aspects of creating art, rather than
using art as a vehicle to make money.
The best thing I see here is a healthy
blend of competition, collaboration
and cross-genre support. George C.
Moreno is giving a brief reading as
part of your album release. Other
than your friendship, how did you
get him to participate?
Theres so many layers to
[the Albuquerque music]
scene. Its cool because
a lot of it happens on the
underground level, in
houses or art spaces
A.J. Woods
He has such a brilliant mind. I know
his interest in literature and his genu-
ine pursuit of greatness, so I thought it
would be good complement to the set.
My friend Johnny Gomez is also
showing photography that night. He
does his own prints at home; hes an
analog photographer. In all of the
places hes lived, hes always had
his own makeshift or DIY darkroom.
Hes also going to be doing some
projections. Hes very prolific, has an
enormous amount of photos and just
has a great eye.

Within Range: Of a Spring Day
by M. BRIANNA STALLINGS
Melt-Banana + Melvins
Extreme metal grindcore from En-
gland; grunge ancestors awash in that
Washington alt.rock sound; dizzying,
disjointed noise rock straight outta
Tokyo. All three bands are known for
revolving doors of past studio or live
members and for destroying eardrums
of legions of loyal fans.
Emerging from Englands early 80s
punk scene, Napalm Death is the Irish
hammer of extreme metalthough its wall-rattlers from The Birthday Party
been building a strong foundation of
brutal grindcore tunes for generations,
none of its original parts remain. Still,
singer Mark Barney Greenway, Shane
Embury (bass), Mitch Harris (guitar)
and drummer Danny Herrera are Na-
palm Deaths most consistent members.
Contrariwise, Melvins frontman/
guitarist Buzz Osborne and drummer
B m Box: New albums by M. Ward, Heron Oblivion
by M. BRIANNA STALLINGS
and Thao & The Get Down Stay Down
M. Ward:
More Rain
(Merge)
M. Ward has been wicked prolific
with She & Him, Monsters of Folk and
other projects recently, but his last solo
album was 2012s A Wasteland Com-
panion. Now hes rewarding patient
indie-folk fans with More Rain, a
vibrant record that rapidly breaks
through the clouds to sunny pop.
Pirate Dial would fit in on Paul
Simons 1972 self-titled solo album.
Time Wont Wait sounds 90s alt-
weird (think Meat Puppets) with its
hearty piano and sweet T.Rex-esque
guitar riff. The harmonies on Im Lis-
tening (Childs Theme) hearken back
to Wards original idea for a straight-
up doo-wop album. His lilting lyrical
Dale Crover have been the bands only
ongoing members since 1984. From
Nirvana to QOTSA to Boris, Melvins
influence can be heard everywhere.
In addition to palling around with
Merzbow, Mike Patton and John Zorn,
Melt-Banana has something of a repu-
tation for eclectic covers, ranging from
jazz and holiday standards by Nina
Simone to jams by reggae legends
Toots and the Maytals, and of course,
voice; Derek Fudescos dexterous
and Dead Kennedys.
Wikipedia may bill Japanese
master of dissonance Melt-Banana
as the opener for Napalm Death and
Melvins, but lets face facts: this is a
triple header of equal titans.
The Savage Imperial Death March
Tour visits Albuquerque on Monday,
March 28, at Sunshine Theater (120
Central SW). Doors are at 7 p.m., and
delivery on Temptation melds
with the surfy lead guitar, calling
The Go-Gos Vacation to mind.
Wards warm, welcoming vocals and
lyrical finesse artfully unifies all this
genre-hopping.
Heron Oblivion:
Heron Oblivion
(Sub Pop)
Stream Funeral Funk 49, a dirgey
shout-out to The James Gangs 70s
rocker Funk #49m, at Heron Obliv-
ions Bandcamp page. While its not a
straight-up cover, savvy listeners will
recognize a comparable, albeit slower
rhythm loping throughout Heron
Oblivions eponymous full-length
debut.
The San Francisco quartet avian
a night of power-loud
starts at 8. Tickets for this
13-and-up show are $20 via
holdmyticket.com.
The Cave Singers
In Irish folklore, it takes just one
banshee to keen out high, warbling
songs of mourning. On The Cave Sing-
ers latest Banshee, it takes: singer/
guitarist Pete Quirks wild, reedy
ters effortlessly from nonchalance to
guitar; Morgan Hendersons solid bass
work; and the coursing roll of Marty
Lunds percussion to tie these 10 songs
of reminiscence, pensiveness and a
relinquishing of control together.
Recorded in six days last July,
Banshee is another foot-thumping,
hand-clapping chapter in this neo-folk
groups history. Rising from the ashes
of Pretty Girls Make Graves, The Cave
soprano and drummer Meg Baird;
guitarists Noel Harmonson and Char-
lie Saufley; and bassist Ethan Miller
self-identifies as funeral folk,
fuzz burn and Albion dirge, and
its members hail from an assortment
of psych, new folk and noise rock
bands like Espers and Six Organs of
Admittance.
Recorded by lo-fi producer Eric
Bauer (Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees), the
releases seven rumbling, febrile
tracks prove a dark, psychedelic trip.
Standouts include Oriar, Rama
and Seventeen Landscapes.
Thao & The Get Down
Stay Down:
A Man Alive
(Ribbon Music)
Our parents deaths are as inevitable
as our own but the abandonment can
feel unbearable. When the people who
created us die, can we ever fill the
hole in our hearts? Thao & The Get
Down Stay Downs new album A
Man Alive asks this heavy question.
Thao Nguyens father ditched her
M. Brianna Stallings writes
family early on. Despite creative and
critical success, Nguyen has been
walking wounded ever since. Thao &
TGDSDs last album We The Com-
mon focused on outreach, human
connection and Thaos volunteer
work with the California Coalition for
music
Singers released four
albums before taking a
sabbatical year. The group
hooked back up in 2015 to
crowdfund Banshee.
The Cave Singers are joined
by the dreamy harmonies of mellow
psych-pop foursome Drmhouse.
Give a listen to the groups latest EP,
Only Friends, at their Bandcamp
page. Lead singer Chris Cheveyo tee-
defiance, sometimes within the same
song.
Wail, sway, clap and swoon along
with The Cave Singers on Tuesday,
April 5, at Launchpad (618 Central
SW). Doors are at 8 p.m., and the 21-
plus show begins at 9. Tickets are $12
via launchpadrocks.com.
M. Brianna Stallings makes work work.

Womens Prisoners; their new release
looks inward, poking at the dad-
shaped hole in Thaos heart.
Millionaire opens with warped
loops eerily reminiscent of a carousel
before its lyrics kick you in the chest:
Daddy I broke into a million pieces
/ That makes you a millionaire. A
Man Alive is like a full-back tattoo:
Its not for everyone and its gonna
hurt like hell, but the result is breath-
taking.
