Lovejoy sweeps Navajo Nation presidential primary
The mood to elect a woman as head of state isn’t reserved for just New Mexico. In the Navajo Nation primary election yesterday, New Mexico State Senator Lynda Lovejoy left the crowded field of twelve contenders in the dust. If she wins the general election on November 2, she will be the first female president elected by the Navajo people.
Lovejoy was the first woman to make it through a Navajo presidential primary, going up against President Joe Shirley in the last presidential general election. In the general election this year, she’ll face off against current Navajo Nation Vice President Ben Shelly, who came in second in the primary. With 106 out of 110 precincts reporting, Lovejoy had garnered 16,449 votes, while Shelley took 7,504. Both are from New Mexico.
The Navajo Nation is the largest American Indian tribe in the United States, with approximately 300,000 people and 26,000 square miles straddling Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico.
At the Window Rock Sports Center as the election results came in, Lovejoy said that election officials “should just declare her president and save the people some money, Navajo Times reporter Marley Shebala reported.
Concealed weapons permit info is confidential in NM
It’s unclear whether Robert Reza, the shooter in last week’s rampage that left two dead in Albuquerque, was one of the more than 17,000 individuals in New Mexico permitted to carry a concealed weapon.
And you likely won’t ever know.
Information about who can legally carry a concealed weapon in the state, including names, is confidential under state law (29-19-6, Subsection B).
It’s a fact that surprised Sen. George Muñoz, D-Gallup, this week. A gun-rights advocate, Munoz pushed for a state law passed during this year ’s legislative session that allows individuals with concealed-carry permits to take weapons into restaurants with beer-and-wine licenses.
“I would support opening up names,” Munoz told The Independent on Monday. “I wouldn’t support towns or addresses. I mean there may be 10 George Munoz’s in the state of New Mexico. It’d be then up to you to find them. But I don’t see anything wrong with giving out names.”
Reza went on a killing spree July 12 at Albuquerque’s Emcore Corporation that left two women dead and four others injured before he turned a semi-automatic 45-caliber handgun on himself.
Whether or not Reza had a concealed-carry license has not come up as an issue in the aftermath of last week’s shooting. It’s still unclear how Reza came to possess the gun. It’s also unclear whether Reza had applied for or received a concealed-carry license.
New Mexico is an open-carry state, meaning it doesn’t require a permit for a person purchasing a gun he intends to carry in the open.
The day after the rampage The Independent was told by the New Mexico Department of Public Safety’s Special Investigations Division, which maintains the list of concealed-carry licenses issued by the state, that all information, including the names of individuals permitted to carry concealed weapons, is confidential.
While the public can’t know the names of people carrying concealed weapons, it can know how many people have received the right to carry concealed weapons. There are 17,298 valid licenses in New Mexico currently. Of that number, 2,552 of them were issued this year, according to the New Mexico Department of Public Safety’s Special Investigations Division.
Nevada, Colorado, California release concealed carry info; other states keep it private
While New Mexico’s decision to make information on concealed-carry applications confidential appears in line with many surrounding states, it is by no means universal.
The Nevada Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that names of people who have concealed-carry permits are public, saying that the Washoe County (Reno) sheriff couldn’t withhold the name of a permittee or “and any post-permit records of investigation, suspension, or revocation.” In the ruling Nevada’s top court said that some information contained in the records made public by its ruling could be redacted.
Meanwhile, in Colorado, there is no prohibition against making public certain information related to concealed-carry permits.
“Some sheriffs have decided to put the information out and others have not,” said Chet Ubowski of Colorado Bureau of Investigation. “The application says there is potential for the application to become public.”
And in California it appears the disclosure of such information is up to local law enforcement agencies that issue the permits. The application form used by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office has this line, which must be signed by the applicant:
I understand that I am obligated to be complete and truthful in providing information on this application. I understand that all of the information disclosed by me in this application may be subject to public disclosure.
Most surrounding states, like Arizona and Texas, however, treat the identity and personal information submitted on an concealed-carry permit or license application as confidential, a review by The Independent has found. In many cases an exemption is made for law enforcement agencies conducting investigations.
Meanwhile Indiana, which once considered such information public, made it confidential this year with a law that took effect July 1, said Lt. Jerry Berkey of the Indiana State Police.
The move followed the publication last year of the state’s database of gun permit holders by two of that state’s newspapers.
Should New Mexico release names?
Some wonder if New Mexico has gone too far in making even names of those holding concealed-carry licenses confidential.
“Obviously it’s a very emotional issue and it’s caused a lot of intense debate,” Sarah Welsh of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government said. “Typically holders of permits don’t want their names published. There are concerns about stalking victims who worry about their abusers finding out where they live if their names are published with counties.”
But “someone needs to be able to check up on the list,” she said of the state’s decision to make all information related to concealed-carry permits confidential.
At least two Western states – California and Nevada – the Supreme Courts in each state have ruled that the privacy issue is not compelling enough reason to withhold the names, Welsh said.
New Mexico and the process for receiving a concealed-carry license
People applying for a New Mexico concealed-carry license must jump through several hoops, including a background check, before they earn the right, according to state law.
An application requires an applicant to list his or her current address, date of birth, place of birth, social security number, height, weight, gender, hair color, eye color and driver’s license number or other state-issued identification number, according to state law.
The applicant also must submit two full sets of fingerprints, a certified copy of a certificate of completion for a department-approved firearms training course, a birth certificate or proof of United States citizenship and proof that they reside in New Mexico.
The state then must make a “reasonable effort to determine if an applicant is qualified to receive a concealed handgun license,” including an appropriate check of available records, the law says. New Mexico also must “forward the applicant’s fingerprints to the federal bureau of investigation for a national criminal background check,” according to the statute.
Despite fed action against AZ, other states viewed as likely to pass similar law in 2011
The federal government sued Arizona this week for its recently passed immigration law, a seeming deterrent to other states looking to try the same thing. But the feds’ action isn’t stopping supporters of the legislation from pushing to pass it in their states, the Washington Post reports.
South Carolina, Utah and Oklahoma are viewed as the most likely to pass similar legislation when their legislatures convene in 2011, according to the paper.
The Post reports that:
Lawmakers in Oklahoma, South Carolina and Utah, which have already taken steps against illegal immigration, say that Arizona-style measures have a realistic chance of passing when their legislatures reconvene in 2011.
Those states already have passed strict measures to combat illegal immigration, and an Arizona-style law would have momentum. If that happens, we could have more showdowns between the federal government and states, along with more pressure for Congress to address the issue.
NM film industry subsidies: corporate welfare?
Citing a 2008 study of New Mexico’s film industry subsidies, Los Angeles Times business columnist Michael Hiltzik Friday questioned California’s own $100 million-a-year tax credits for Hollywood film productions, calling them “corporate welfare.”
The study showed that New Mexico saw only 14 cents in returns for every dollar it spent on film production tax credits.
According to a state review of SIC data, there were 52 film tax credits worth $46 million in 2008 and 78 credits worth $76 million in 2009, The Independent reported in March.
The value of the state’s film tax credit program, particularly in terms of its economic benefits, is a hotly debated topic in New Mexico and has been for years.
A competing report issued in January 2009 by the New Mexico Film Office found a much more positive economic impact than the report cited by Hiltzik. Conducted by Ernst & Young, the study concluded that the program had earned $0.94 in additional tax revenue for each $1.00 paid out in incentives based on the 2007 value of present and future year tax receipts and the 2007 value of state film production tax credits.
But Hiltzik counts himself among the skeptical when talk turns to reports such as the one performed by Ernst & Young.
“The rationale for this welfare program is to keep productions from fleeing to other states, taking … jobs with them,” Hiltzik reported. “But you could go blind looking for an independent study, as opposed to studies funded by the state film commissions handing out the dough, showing that such programs produce more in overall benefits than they cost.”
SIC members have raised separate concerns about the value of New Mexico’s no-interest loans for film productions, The Independent reported in March. New Mexico has given Hollywood $273 million in no-interest loans for 26 films since 2003, including $15 million for the Denzel Washington film Book of Eli, The Independent reported.
New Mexico legislators have called for Gov. Bill Richardson to curtail state subsidies for Hollywood productions.
It was reported in March that the Motion Picture Association of America was considering Richardson as the organization’s new director, a position with a salary exceeding $1 million a year.
More Broken Code
In this week’s paper, SFR looked at some recent code complaints that have come in to the city and county bureaucracies.
There were a few that we didn’t have room for on the page, but which deserve a look regardless.
The first concerns Advantage Asphalt, a company that is under investigation by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s office in a convoluted money-and-influence scheme reportedly involving several local politicians, including state House Speaker Ben Luján, Santa Fe City Councilor Matt Ortiz and County Development Review Committee chairman Jon Paul Romero.
On June 14, the Journal Santa Fe reported that Santa Fe County officials had cited Advantage “for illegally storing heavy machinery and other equipment on a residential La Cienega property.”
[County Development Review Division Director Shelley] Cobau said that [Advantage owner Joe Anthony] Montoya has a “home occupation” business license for the property. The license allows for small-scale operations, “something that doesn’t affect the residential characteristics of the neighborhood,” Cobau said.
SFR’s photographer visited Advantage’s Los Estrellas Road address last week. Does this like a “small scale operation?”
This appears to the house for which Montoya was initially denied a permit last October—a decision that was reversed without clear explanation by County Manager Roman Abeyta, per the Journal.
County officials told the Journal they weren’t sure when the most recent complaint had come in about Advantage’s property on Las Estrellas. But the records obtained by SFR show an anonymous complaint referred to inspector Rick Lovato by Permits and Inspections Division Director Wayne Dalton on April 14.
The caller “believes there is an unpermitted structure going up at 57B Las Estrellas,” the complaint says. “Neighbor believes that they are running illegal business. They start big machinery up at 6:00 A.M. The business is Advantage Asphalt.”
–
Another complaint concerned a property at 6 Jennifer Way, owned by James S Ramsey, whom SFR was unable to reach. The complaint concerns “[a]nother RV lived in with no hook ups” and “debris and junk” on the property.
It still looked that way when SFR’s photographer visited last week, although the complaint was recorded March 2, and Cobau says property owners are usually given 30 days to clean up after a code inspector’s visit.
One thing the complaint didn’t mention: These animals.
Thanks to SFR photo intern Ana Goni-Lessan for traipsing all over the place.
The World Cup, SFR Plays Along: The Catamount
By Intern Drew Lenihan
The Catamount, on the corner of Water and Shelby streets, has been a loyal drinking hole to Santa Fe for almost 15 years now. Sadly, after all these years it will be closing its doors and moving later this summer, but not until the 2010 World Cup is viewed from the current location’s bar stools one last time.
Many people have fantastic memories there watching and hooting and a hollering for their favorite teams, regardless of sport. During Brazil and North Korea’s match yesterday, one bar goer exclaimed to me, “I watched Michael Phelps win all his gold medals here; I was here when Zidane headbutted Materazzi,” he said referring to the infamous 2006 World Cup Final. “It’s too bad it’s got to move.” Unfortunately I am not one of those people with good memories of Catamount sports watching.
While the Catamount has amazing potential to house and quench soccer hooligans’ thirst; I wasn’t able to see the appeal of the place to a soccer fan. The staff was overtly uninviting, kind of a “Oh you’re here to watch soccer, not buy our crappy food” attitude and the server pretty much ignored my table once I had order my appeasement plate of 3.85 chips and salsa.
In theory, it’s great the Catamount is upholding the sanctity of the World Cup and staying around until it is over, even with the landlord increasing the rent by more than 50%. In practice, the staff acted like they wanted out of there and didn’t care what’s happening in South Africa this month.
Most tables were empty, except for one group of Brazillian yellow-and-blue-clad college students who were enthusiastic until the stagnant atmosphere of the place seemed to suck the fun out of them too, even when the Samba Boys found their rhythm and practically danced up and down the field in the second half, chasing North Korea back to the DMZ with a 2-1 win.
I have always been a huge Brazil fan and I should have been a lot happier, but the Catamount was about as authentic as the North Korean fans, who because of the repressive nature of their government are not allowed to leave North Korea and go to the cup. As a result, all “North Korean” fans at the game were Chinese actors hired by Kim Jong Il’s regime. The physical setup of the Catamount’s downstairs was just about as homely as a North Korean holding cell.
The couple of TVs were awkwardly positioned and the main upstairs bar, complete with 10 enormous TVs, pool tables, and drink specials wasn’t even open. Brazil easily beat the team of Kim Jong Il puppets—rumor has it that the North Korean dictator hand picked every player on the team—and as the teams trudged off the pitch, Brazil to party, North Korea to meditate to their dictator’s photo, I too got out of the Catamount before the waitress could frown at me again. My message to the Catamount: The World Cup is a party; stop being such poopers.

Lady Bits: What this newswoman is reading right now
There’s a new emergency contraceptive pill on the horizon. “Ella” is available in 22 countries, is twice as effective as Plan B (the drug that’s now available over the counter) and it works for at least 120 hours, compared to Plan B’s 72 hours. But it appears headed for an approval fight at the Food and Drug Administration.
Although there are several high-profile women candidates running for office this year, “the incoming GOP class in Congress will be virtually bereft of women; only 7 of 105 candidates at various stages of the NRCC’s Young Guns program are women. That’s a lower percentage of women than they already represent in the GOP Conference,” according to the National Journal.
Many of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan’s writings from her tenure during President Bill Clinton’s terms in office have been gathered by his presidential library. You can see them here. Politico tackles what the documents say about Kagan (essentially: she is a political animal, if a careful one).
And “Sen. Tom Coburn Vows No Creampuff questions for Elena Kagan,” reports Politics Daily.
“The End of Men,” is a fascinating piece in the July/August issue of The Atlantic. Preview: “Earlier this year, women became the majority of the workforce for the first time in U.S. history. Most managers are now women too. And for every two men who get a college degree this year, three women will do the same. For years, women’s progress has been cast as a struggle for equality. But what if equality isn’t the end point? What if modern, postindustrial society is simply better suited to women? A report on the unprecedented role reversal now under way— and its vast cultural consequences.”
And “It’s Not The End of Men,” a rebuttal to that piece by Ann Friedman in The American Prospect: “It’s disappointing that, despite a history of sharp observations about gender and 5,000 words to work with, Rosin makes the same oversight as all of the other hand-wringing articles about the state of the American male. She thinks the problem is men; really, it’s traditional gender stereotypes.”
Lou Barlow: Best Show Ever!
When I was about 12 or 13, the video Natural One by Folk Implosion hit MTV, and my friends and I all lost our collective shit(s). I remember a buddy of mine immediately picked up the single (yes, there were singles then), and we spent ages listening again and again. This paved the way for us to learn about Dinosaur Jr., which in turn led to Sebadoh albums and the perilous and angsty journey into punk rock.
Thusly, with nigh overpowering nostalgia fueling me, I took in the recent Lou Barlow (of said bands) show on the Cowgirl patio. First off, I was feeling pretty impressed that Barlow was playing such a small venue, but it seems that Santa Fe is getting bigger shows like this more often. Plus, I’m willing to bet Barlow is one of those super-cool and down to earth musicians who subtly rules the land while keeping his head.
I arrived a tad early to check out Sarah Jaffe (myspace.com/sjaffe) open the show. In the days leading up to the concert, I’d heard nothing but good things about the Texas singer-songwriter, and Jaffe started strong with a beautiful voice and a quiet and subtly sad sound. Instantly, I realized there was something familiar about her, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Sarah Jaffe folkin' it up
Jaffe’s cellist and keyboardist added complexity to the simple guitar work, but I was going mad trying to figure out where I had heard this before. Then it hit me: I’ve sat in my room listening to Cat Power and Feist too ,and whether or not she realizes it, Jaffe emulates these musicians quite closely. Though Jaffe’s voice is solid, it sounds almost exactly like Leslie Fesit, a fact that kind of pissed me off. Now, I’m not saying that she was bad or anything, but it was just nothing I haven’t heard before. Jaffe’s strength is in her voice and not guitar playing. At times, this seemed to put undue pressure on her band, and a cursory glance at the crowd proved that I was pretty much the only person bored by the performance. It makes sense, though. Those unfamiliar with indie folk/country are bound to be impressed by an artist with such obvious-and worthy-influences. I suppose Jaffe makes a good transition for those interested in getting into these types of music, but I don’t see her having much lasting power in a genre already jam-packed with too many faceless acts that sound exactly the same.
Jaffe wound up her set, and you could feel the excitement in the crowd; a real live rock ‘n’ roll legend was about to play! Lou Barlow set up, and played a goofy song about getting punched in the nose for his soundcheck. Even the soundcheck was awesome. ”Just go ahead and shout out what you wanna hear, and I’ll probably play it,” He announced. Song titles started flying around the patio, including one lady who yelled, “Play Natural One! Could you play that?” Barlow kind of laughed and replied, “Well, I can, just not right now.”
Everyone was paying super-close attention to Barlow
After a few solo acoustic tunes from 2009’s Goodnight Unkown, the crowd belonged to Barlow. His guitar work seems so natural, but is actually fairly complex and interesting. I was surprised at how much I liked his voice. Not because I thought he sucked or anything, but I don’t think I had ever noted how good it was before. It was soft and restrained, yet powerful and beautiful. Every now and then he seemed to summon an almost Nick Drake-like quality.
The acoustic stuff was great and all, but the show really got moving when Barlow called his band, the missingmen, up to perform. “These guys are Mike Watt’s band,” He told us. This resulted in a “HOLY SHIT!” moment for me. Mike Watt is punk rock royalty, so I figured these dudes must be for real.
the missingmen ruled it
I’ve seen a handful of shows on the Cowgirl patio, but by far, this was the loudest. Barlow and crew rocked so hard and so loud, that it’s hard to believe it wasn’t shut down. Word on the street is that the patio is utilized so infrequently because of noise ordinance bullshit, but for those who were there, you know that this showwouldn’t have worked inside.
Barlow switched back and forth from guitar and bass duty, and even the songs without bass sounded remarkably full. the missingmen proved to be real pros, never missing a note but appearing totally relaxed and effortless. Everyone was freaking out, myself included. I made a mental note to pick up Goodnight Unknown the very next chance I got. I am not even exaggerating when I say that Lou Barlow and the missingmen was one of the top five best shows I’ve ever seen in Santa Fe. The perfect weather on the patio helped with what I can only describe as a magical (gross) evening. Every song in Barlow’s canon was good. Every song. Think about that for a second-how many times have you seen a show in which every single song was good? I’d bet almost never. It was just past midnight when Barlow switched back to his acoustic guitar for a few more solo tunes and I made my way home. It becomes more and more clear that Santa Fe is finally getting the shows we’ve deserved for years. The show renewed my faith and love of music, and i slipped into a deep sleep with my ears still ringing.
The World Cup, SFR Plays Along: Zia Diner
Day 1 of World Cup 2010 is here! For those of you that took the initiative to rise early to watch the opening ceremony before South Africa kicked off against Mexico, I commend you. I was disappointed as you probably were to see that Nelson Mandela’s heavily anticipated speech—in which he would proclaim how bringing the World Cup to South Africa embodied his vision for the “new” South Africa—was canceled due to a death in his family. It was still heartfelt listening to President Jacob Zuma speak and then watching the spirited and inspired South Africans fight to a 1-1 draw with Mexico.
Afterward I began my quest to find the World Cup’s best venue in Santa Fe. I started at Zia Diner to watch France and Uruguay (both are former champions) duke it out. The Zia has set up two TVs for the Cup and will be showing every game. They are in the bar room so one may sip some brewskis or eat while enjoying the beautiful game.
Accordingly, the scene had a pleasant diversity to it: families mixed with passionate young urban professionals on lunch break, single old men spotted the bar stools and tables. Even our own SFR columnist Rob Wilder and son London were enjoying the game and some lunch. I knew I was in good soccer company when my server turned out to be my sister’s old assistant coach, who was indifferent to this game but cheering for Spain overall.
I on the other hand was going for Uruguay; I’d rather see some beautiful South American fútbol than watch France play sheepishly for 85 minutes and then escape with a win after a cheap goal like they have done in past Cups. Others in the crowd wanted France. As one yuppie said, “I need France to win for my office bracket.” Another bar goer responded, “That’s more than fine with me but sheesh, let’s get some scoring going.” Oh American soccer fans, always looking for the instant gratification that come in all of our popular sports.
After getting some chicken wings and a healthier Cobb salad with my mom, we watched the game unfold and ultimately end in a scoreless draw. As people trickled out disappointed, many stayed continuing to reflect with strangers about the games and what will come in the next month. While Zia’s food has certainly gone a little down hill in recent history, it was a great place to watch the cup, allowing patrons to stay much longer than a typical lunch and offering a relaxed and homey environment for the games. Hopefully next time there will be some more scoring and the place gets a little rowdier, giving it a more English Pub hooligan feel. Tomorrow: USA takes on England, prepare for a bloody good time!
Zia Diner
Overall Score 7/10 Golden Boots

Movie Review: “La Mission”
La Mission
Directed by Peter Bratt
With Benjamin Bratt, Erika Alexander and Jeremy Ray Valdez
Rated R
Showing in Santa Fe at UA DeVargas (562 North Guadalupe) beginning June 11
(Q-and-A with director Peter Bratt and Santa Fe-native La Mission co-star Jeremy Ray Valdez on Saturday, June 12 at 7:30 pm. $10)
Review by Adam Perry (mppedro@gmail.com)
Prior to a few days ago, the 2000 film-version of Michael Chabon’s Wonder Boys was the only major motion picture I’d watched that was not only filmed in a city, but a neighborhood where I’ve lived. Seeing Michael Douglas booze it up in on-screen in Pittsburgh, where I grew up, to the sounds of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen was cool, but checking out the jarring new movie La Mission—shot in San Francisco’s culturally rich Mission District, where I lived from 2002-2008—was far more rewarding.
La Mission wasn’t based on an acclaimed novel, but the film’s heartfelt drama and realistic depiction of a gritty, harsh-reality-filled neighborhood are seriously penetrating on a level that the majority of recent urban-set movies don’t reach. Directed by Peter Bratt and starring his brother Benjamin, La Mission—alternately funny, sad, thought-provoking and romantic—poignantly touches on sociological and economical subjects while utilizing San Francisco as a colorful backdrop.
“You can take the man out of the Mission, but you can’t take the Mission out of the man,” one of lead-character Che’s (Bratt) homeboys in La Mission says during a low-rider jaunt through North Beach after Che expresses concern about his teenage son, Jesse (Santa Fe-native Jeremy Ray Valdez), who is soon leaving for UCLA. A recovering alcoholic and ex-con, Che wants the best for his son but worries that the young Mission High senior will disown his father and his father’s friends’ lifestyle and traditions once he moves to LA.
In a series of events reminiscent of a similar Sopranos story-line, La Mission takes a sharp and emotional turn when tatted-up tough-guy Che discovers that his son’s excuses for repeatedly not showing up to hang out with his father’s buddies (the “Mission Boyz”) are lies. In truth, Jesse is sleeping with an upper-class white guy and even dancing shirtless at a gay club in the Castro district, which is just a few blocks from the Mission District but might as well be on Mars.
A confused Che beats and disowns his son, later accepting Jesse’s homosexuality on the condition that he never mentions it again. Even after Jesse is shot and critically wounded by a homophobic young Mission thug, Che still violently asks his son to make a choice between an openly gay life and a life without a father.
For Mission District veterans, La Mission is at least partially a big-screen replay of phenomena we’ve seen first-hand—gentrification, hate crimes and battles over rising rents, just to name a few—but the Bratt brothers’ competent expression of such serious, and far too common, stories is remarkable. Especially if you haven’t lived in the Mission, La Mission is a “must see” movie if such a thing exists. It’s just hard to get over how much it makes me miss the vibrant neighborhood’s beautiful parks and peerless taquerías.
