Lobo Village assault Woman menaced security officer with handgun, report states

by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com @ArdeeTheJourno

Amber McDonald

The UNM Police Department on Friday arrested a woman who threatened to shoot a Lobo Village security officer after a heated argument.

Amber McDonald, wife of Kenneth McDonald, who is also a Lobo Village security officer, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly pulling a handgun on a female officer. Amber was booked at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center.

According to the from UNMPD report, Amber McDonald arrived at Lobo Village with her husband for his shift Thursday night. At about 11 p.m., the female officer reportedly approached Amber McDonald, who was seated inside her car in the parking lot, allegedly to discuss their dispute over the officer’s “interactions with Amber’s husband.”

The conversation eventually became an argument, and the defendant allegedly told the officer that the officer “fucked with the wrong family,” according to the report. She also reportedly said, “I’m going to kick your ass.”

The defendant exited the car with a handgun and pointed it at

the officer, who immediately ran to hide behind the vehicle in “fear for her safety,” according to the officer’s testimony. Kenneth McDonald then jumped to grab the gun from his wife, who reportedly shouted that she was “going to kill” the woman officer.

According to the report, the officer told the McDonalds to leave, and they did so without further commotion. The officer then notified UNMPD of the incident, according to the report.

Police were initially unsuccessful in locating the couple. It wasn’t until the two returned to Lobo Village at 1 a.m. on Friday that UNMPD was able to arrest Amber McDonald.

“When police came out, (the McDonalds) had left,” said UNMPD public information officer Tim Stump. “(Officers) looked for them, but couldn’t find them. They got a call that (the McDonalds) came back to Lobo Village, so they came back and arrested the girl.”

According to the same criminal complaint filed against Amber McDonald in the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court, the defendant, who was duly informed of her rights, told interviewers that she pulled the handgun because “she felt threatened by (the woman officer) and exited the vehicle with the handgun only in self defense.” She claimed she ultimately left the gun on the roof of her car during the confrontation.

She also claimed that she did not see a weapon in the officer’s possession during the encounter, according to the complaint.

According to the detention center’s website at press time, Amber is being held for a bail bond of $25,000.

Stump said Amber McDonald committed a fourth-degree felony and could face up to 18 months in jail and a fine of up to $5,000.

He said the police department has notified Iron Stone Security, the agency that handles security and patrols for Lobo Village. He said the agency, which hires its own officers and does not train with UNMPD, will decide on possible disciplinary actions regarding the incident.

But he said his department demands better training for Iron Stone’s officers. Fortunately, he said, no students were present at the scene of the incident.

“It’s a frightening experience,” he said. “It was at 11 o’clock at night. That’s not too late for people to be coming and going to work, doing what students do there …

(Iron Stone Security) should know better (than) to allow any type of that.”

Iron Stone Security declined to comment on the incident. It was not stated in the report who owned the handgun.

According to the National Rifle Association’s website, it is legal in New Mexico for a person to carry a handgun “in a private automobile or other private means of conveyance for lawful protection of the person’s or another’s person or property.”

Stump said UNMPD took the handgun for evidence and would not return it to the McDonalds. He said the complaint will go to the district attorney’s office, and the incident will be considered by a grand jury.

Crime spikes in South Lot area

William Aranda / Daily Lobo A UNM Shuttle arrives at the South Lot to pick up students Monday afternoon. Rates of theft in and around South Campus parking lots have risen.

by Chloe Henson

assistant-news@dailylobo.com @ChloeHenson5 The UNM Police Department has boosted patrol at south campus parking lots to combat theft in the area.

UNMPD public information officer Tim Stump said the department is warning the public of an increase in criminal activity in the area.

Stump said the department first noticed an increase in auto burglary, auto theft and vehicle break-ins after officers reported repeated incidents during daily briefing meetings. At the meetings, officers give information about occurrences during their shifts, he said.

“Every shift that comes on

gets information,” he said. “Cars were getting hit pretty regularly in South Lot or even in that general area.”

The south campus parking lots are located along Avenida Cesar Chavez, just east of the University Stadium.

Stump said the department noticed the increase in the last several months. He said UNMPD officers are hoping to catch perpetrators in order to reduce crime in and around the area.

“We always say, because we’re surrounded by the city, if they’re doing it there, they’re probably doing it close by everywhere else,” he said.

Razak: “Flight 370 ended in the Indian ocean”

Ng Han Guan / AP photo A relative of one of the Chinese passengers aboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 collapses in grief after being told of the latest news in Beijing on Monday. The grim news that families of the missing flight’s passengers had dreaded for weeks was released by Malaysia’s prime minister: new analysis of satellite data indicates the missing plane crashed into a remote corner of the Indian Ocean.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — After 17 days of desperation and doubt over the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, the country’s officials said an analysis of satellite data points to a “heartbreaking” conclusion: Flight 370 met its end in the southern Indian Ocean, and none of those aboard survived.

The somber announcement late Monday by Prime Minister Najib Razak left unresolved many troubling questions about what occurred aboard the Boeing 777 to take it so far off-course.

It also unleashed a maelstrom of sorrow and anger among the families of the jet’s 239 passengers and crew.

A solemn Najib, clad in a black suit, read a brief statement about a study of the jet’s last-known signals to a satellite. That analysis determined that the missing plane, which took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing early on March 8, veered “to a remote location, far from any

possible landing sites.”

“It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean,” he said.

His carefully chosen words did not directly address the fate of those aboard. But in a separate message, sent to some of their relatives just before he spoke, Malaysia Airlines officials said that “we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those onboard survived.”

Officials conclude that the flight had been lost in the deep waters west of Perth, Australia, based on thorough analysis of the brief signals the plane sent every hour to a satellite belonging to Inmarsat, a British company, even after other communication systems on the jetliner shut down.

The pings did not include any location information. But Inmarsat and British aviation officials used “a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this

Growing up, Heidi Hopkins used to eye cockroaches as they stuck their long, thread-like antennae out from beneath her furniture. Wondering why these critters get so much disdain, she decided to study them.

“I’ve always been a fan of the underdog,” she said. “When I would hear that something was hated or maligned or had a bad reputation, I’ve always wanted to go and find out if that was actually true … So I started doing research on cockroaches, and it turns out that everything we know about cockroaches isn’t true.”

By the end of last month, Hopkins’ research bore new success as she discovered 39 new species of desert cockroaches called Arenivaga. Hopkins, 48, said that there were nine known species initially.

Hopkins, a Ph.D. candidate in UNM’s biology department, said she began her research more than four years ago. She said that

she foresaw it at the time as only a minor part of her dissertation.

“These particular cockroaches live in deserts around the world,” she said. “They’re sort of considered extremophiles. Not thinking much about it, this was just going to be a little exercise in learning taxonomy, and it might have ended up as one chapter of my dissertation.”

After contacting national collectors of desert cockroach specimens, Hopkins wound up with about 7,500 samples, a number she found astounding. She said she had to inspect each sample’s genitalia to identify whether it was a member of a new species.

“The genus has not been revised since 1920,” she said. “It’s nearly been a century. People have been collecting all that time … We had a hint that at the end of that first year, this wasn’t going to be easy and this wasn’t going to be small.”

Originally from Rhode Island, Hopkins got her bachelor’s degree in history from Iowa’s Grinell College and her master’s degree in education from Chapman University in

California. She said she then moved to New Mexico with her ex-husband and taught history and science in middle school for ten years.

As a nontraditional student, Hopkins applied for her doctorate in biology at UNM in 2009.

“I’m old enough to be the mother of most of the people that I’m studying with,” she said.

“A lot of them are around half my age.”

Hopkins will head to Rutgers University in the fall for her postdoctorate studies.

She said she decided to take on entomology because it is an underrated field of biology.

“If you study mammals, it’s very rare that you find new mammals,” she said. “If you study birds, it’s very rare that you find a new bird. But if you study invertebrates, which are what insects are, there are millions of invertebrates that still have not been discovered and have not been described.”

Through her research, Hopkins said she aims to dispel negative myths about cockroaches.

Research on domestic cockroaches in the United States is well-funded because of extermination companies, she added, but research on wild species, which she focuses on, is scarce, and there is no facility that conducts wild cockroach research in the country.

“If I were fortunate enough, maybe I could start a wild cockroach lab somewhere so that I can provide a place for someone else to come and study,” she said.

“I didn’t have any place to go …

I’ve already had students, when I go to national meetings, ask if I’m going to be establishing a lab.”

sort” to zero in on the plane’s last position as it reached the end of its fuel, Najib said.

In a statement, Inmarsat said the company used “detailed analysis and modelling” of transmissions from the Malaysia Airlines jet and other known flights to describe “the likely direction of flight of MH370.”

Najib gave no indication of exactly where in the Indian Ocean the plane was last heard from, but searchers report having sighted debris in an area about 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) southwest of Perth.

High waves, gale-force winds and low-hanging clouds forced the multinational search to be suspended for 24 hours Tuesday, according to a statement by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, which is coordinating the search over the southern Indian Ocean.

The Australian navy supply ship HMAS Success, which had been headed to the location at which a search plane spotted floating objects Monday, was unable to find anything before the search was put on hold.

Search aircraft would remain in Perth Tuesday, AMSA said, and the Success would be leaving the search zone until the seas calm down. Weather was forecast to improve Tuesday evening and the search was expected to resume Wednesday, the statement said.

Authorities are racing to find any trace of the plane that could lead them to the location of the black boxes, the common name for the cockpit voice and data recorders whose battery-powered “pinger” could stop sending signals within two weeks. The batteries typically last a month. The plane disappeared March 8.

Some of the relatives who gathered to hear Najib convulsed in grief at the news, with shrieks and uncontrolled sobs. Others collapsed into the arms of loved ones.

“My son! My son!” cried a woman in a group of about 50 gathered at a hotel near Beijing’s airport before falling to her knees. Minutes later, medical teams carried one elderly man out of the conference room on a stretcher, his face covered by a jacket.

In Kuala Lumpur, screams came from inside the Hotel Bangi Putrajaya, where some of the families have been given rooms.

Selamat Omar, father of a 29-year-old aviation engineer aboard the flight, said in a telephone interview that he and other

South Lot

Tuesday, March 25, 2014/ Page 3

families were waiting for word on whether they would be flown to Australia, closer to where it is believed the plane went down.

“We accept the news of the tragedy. It is fate,” Selamat said.

But Sarah Bajc, the girlfriend of American passenger and Texas native Philip Wood, said that the announcement based only on data, without any recovered wreckage, put resolution beyond reach.

“I need closure to be certain but cannot keep on with public efforts against all odds. I STILL feel his presence, so perhaps it was his soul all along,” she wrote in an email. “Now Philip’s family and I will need some time for private grief.”

After Najib’s announcement, several of the relatives of the 154 Chinese passengers went before cameras to criticize the Malaysian officials who “have concealed, delayed and hid the truth” about what happened to the plane.

“If the 154 of our loved ones lose their lives, then Malaysia Airlines, the government of Malaysia and the military are really the executors of our loved ones,” said a spokesman for the group who, like many Chinese, would only give his surname, Jiang.

The new findings do nothing to answer why the plane disappeared shortly after takeoff. More specifically, they shed no light on investigators’ doubts about possible mechanical or electrical failure, hijacking, sabotage, terrorism or issues related to the mental health of the pilots or someone else on board.

U.S. deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes stopped short Monday of saying the U.S. had independent confirmation of the status of the missing airliner. He noted the conclusion of Malaysian authorities and said the U.S., which has been aiding the search, was focused on that southern corridor of the ocean.

Planes and ships from Australia and China also crisscrossed the area after multiple satellites had detected objects that could have been possible remains of the lost airliner.

The search for the wreckage and the plane’s recorders could take years because the ocean is up to 7,000 meters (23,000 feet) deep.

It’s possible that what is left of the plane may never be found.

An Australian navy support vessel, the Ocean Shield, headed toward the search zone and was expected to arrive in three or four days, a defense official said. The ship is equipped with acoustic detection equipment that can search for the black boxes. Without them,

among those who reported incidents, Stump said. “(Athletics) are the ones who usually call us if it gets out of hand because a lot of the time they’re the ones who will be parked there for a long period of time,” he said.

But UNMPD has also received reports from students who use the shuttle services around south campus, Stump said.

Jacob Hill, a freshman studying business who regularly parks in the south campus lot, said he has not experienced theft in the lot himself, but wouldn’t be surprised by crime in the area.

“It’s a very wide-open lot,” he said. “And there’s not much security at all, so I wouldn’t be that surprised.”

Andrew Kennedy, a freshman who studies business, said he wasn’t aware that theft was particularly prevalent in the

south campus lot.

“I hear (theft) is a big problem around Albuquerque, but nowhere in particular,” he said.

Stump advises anyone who notices suspicious activity in the lots to immediately contact UNMPD. He said contacting the Albuquerque Police Department may result in a delayed response.

“If they’re out there they might think they need to call APD, but that’s our area,” he said.

“If they call APD they’re wasting their time because then APD will call us. If they call us right away, it’s a better chance for us to get out there.”

UNMPD will take special care in the area until crime decreases, Stump said.

“Any time we see increased activity, that’s where we’ll direct our activities until it goes away,” he said.

it would be virtually impossible for investigators to say definitively what happened to the plane.

“We’ve got to get lucky,” said John Goglia, a former member of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. “It’s a race to get to the area in time to catch the black box pinger while it’s still working.”

The U.S. Pacific Command said it is also sending a black box locator in case a debris field is located.

The Towed Pinger Locator, which is pulled behind a vessel at slow speeds, has highly sensitive listening capability that can hear the black box pinger down to a depth of about 20,000 feet (6,100 meters), Commander Chris Budde, a U.S. 7th Fleet operations officer, said in a statement. He called it “a prudent effort to preposition equipment and trained personnel closer to the search area.”

The U.S. Navy has also sent an unmanned underwater vehicle to Perth that could be used if debris is located, said Rear Adm. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman.

The Bluefin-21, expected to arrive in Perth on Wednesday, has sidescanning sonar and what is called a “multi-beam echo sounder” that can be used to take a closer look at objects under water, he added.

It can operate at a depth of 14,700 feet.

Also Monday, Malaysia’s police chief, Inspector General Khalid Abu Bakar, reiterated that all passengers have been cleared of suspicion.

But he said the pilots and crew are still being investigated. He would not comment on whether officials had recovered the files that were deleted a month earlier from the home flight simulator of the chief pilot.

Insurance providers threaten our health

by James Besante Guest columnist

When contract negotiations went sour between Presbyterian Healthcare Services and the University of New Mexico Hospital, more than 13,000 Presbyterian plan members were denied access to providers and services at UNMH. The restrictions went into effect on January 1, and seemingly overnight, thousands of insured New Mexicans were made to choose between their existing doctors and insurance plans. Three months later, providers and patients are struggling with the disruption in coverage.

The story is nothing new, and perhaps that’s why the plight of these displaced patients went underreported. It’s par for the course in private health insurance: patients made to leave their beloved providers because insurers and hospitals disagree on reimbursement rates or other issues.

Just ask any of the thousands of Lovelace Health Plan members who were forced to leave ABQ Health Partners.

The abuse of New Mexico’s insured population is so commonplace, one could argue it isn’t newsworthy. I disagree.

In today’s America, saying, “13,000 patients were affected by the greed of for-profit medicine” may draw little more than a groan from many. But aside from the regularity of such offenses, numbers are an impersonal way to express human suffering.

Numbers can’t tell the story and situation of every individual harmed when health care is built around profits and not people.

As a third-year medical student, I have had the opportunity to meet the families affected by this “new contractual relationship,” as described by Presbyterian.

While working with a pediatrician who cares primarily for children living with physical and intellectual disabilities, I was shocked to realize how many patients were forced to cancel their appointments. In one morning, only two families were able to keep their appointments because of the coverage change.

One family actually had Presbyterian Medicaid insurance, but scraped the money together to pay out-of-pocket because, according to the parents, their pediatrician was like a member of the family. This was no small expense for a foster family with limited means.

Why are we allowing this to happen? No other developed nation — all with single-payer or nonprofit government-regulated insurance — would allow their citizens to be mistreated like the Presbyterian Health Plan members.

What is most shocking is that many of the Presbyterian families forced to leave their provider have publicly financed health insurance through Medicaid. In other words, the health insurance of the child mentioned above is paid for by the same tax dollars as the child in the adjacent exam room who has Medicaid through another managed care organization, such as Molina Healthcare.

In New Mexico, managed care organizations such as Presbyterian administer Medicaid insurance only after siphoning off profits and incurring overhead and administrative costs. In return, Medicaid recipients are forced into narrow networks that restrict choice of services and providers. These patients and the care they receive are subject to the whim of contract disagreements.

And while Presbyterian Healthcare Services goes to every length to advertise their status as a not-for-profit healthcare system, Presbyterian Health Plan is very much a for-profit endeavor. The insurer

Dr. Peg’s Prescription High blood pressure can be managed through healthy living

Dear Dr. Peg, While shopping at my local grocery store, I stopped by the pharmacy to measure my blood pressure. The machine told me that it was 127/75. Is this a healthy blood pressure?

Also, what’s the relationship between blood pressure and cholesterol levels? What can I do to maintain a healthy blood pressure?

Dear grocery guy, The short answers to your questions are: probably, nothing and plenty. But I’m not one for short answers, so pull up a chair.

What exactly is blood pressure? It is the amount of pressure that your blood exerts on your blood vessels, from within them. You might liken it to air pressure in your tires, or water pressure in your pipes.

Air pressure is measured in PSI, or pounds per square inch. Blood pressure is measured in mmHg, or millimeters of mercury. This is because blood pressure cuffs originally used a vertical column of mercury to measure pressure. A pressure reading of 100 meant the mercury column was pushed upward (against gravity) 100 millimeters.

There are two numbers in a blood pressure reading: the top number and the bottom number. Basically, they are maximum and minimum readings. The top number, 127 for you, is the systolic blood pressure. This is the pressure present in the arteries during reported profits of $38.4 million in 2012.

Stories of managed care exploiting illness for profits are heard around the country in states where traditional state-run Medicaid programs have been converted into systems of competing private insurers.

These states, including New Mexico, were sold on the idea that managed care could save money and slow healthcare inflation. After years of exponential increases in spending, widespread abuse, fraud and diminishing public support for Medicaid managed care, perhaps New Mexico needs to reevaluate the role of profit in public insurance.

The times are changing. States such as Connecticut and Oklahoma have taken back their Medicaid programs and ended the role of private insurers. In the meantime, I hope Presbyterian Plan members are able to fall back on their widely publicized gym memberships, which also went into effect on the first of the year.

systole, which is the active squeezing phase of the heart’s pumping action.

The bottom number, 75 for you, is the diastolic blood pressure. This is the pressure present in the arteries during diastole which is the inactive, relaxation phase of the heart.

What is normal for blood pressure? Pretty much anything less than 140/90 and still standing. Too low is when you pass out because of it. A person’s blood pressure changes throughout the day, depending on many factors. Your blood pressure is lowest when you are asleep, and highest when you are exercising strenuously.

If your blood pressure always reads between 120 and 140 systolic and/or 80 and 90 diastolic you could have pre-hypertension, meaning you could be at risk for developing the disease of hypertension, or high blood pressure. In the pre-hypertension range, lifestyle changes such as losing weight, exercising more and eating less salt are often all that’s needed to bring your blood pressure down to normal.

If you get repeated readings with a systolic pressure over 140 and/or a diastolic over 90, you may have hypertension. This is a bad thing.

Imagine what would happen if you filled your bike tires with as much air pressure as you put in your car tires. Ka-blam, right? That’s what happens in your tiny blood vessels if they get too much pressure. The result is damage to all your organs, especially your heart, kidneys and brain.

What can you do to keep your blood pressure

in a healthy range? Maintain a normal weight.

Exercise regularly. Don’t smoke. Limit your alcohol intake, or don’t drink. Minimize your stress, or manage it as best you can.

Hypertension is sometimes genetic. If it runs in your family, you can decrease your chance of getting it by following the advice above, and by getting a professional blood pressure measurement at least every two years.

Blood pressure and cholesterol are not directly related to each other. High blood pressure doesn’t cause high cholesterol or vice versa. However, they both contribute to the same health problems (heart attacks, strokes, organ damage) and each alone can kill you. It behooves you to keep both blood pressure and cholesterol as low as possible. Beyond that, cholesterol is a topic for another day.

Finally, a word about supermarket blood pressure machines: Take them with a grain of — oops, I mean, they may not be exactly accurate.

To maximize your chances of an accurate reading, rest first for ten minutes, then put your bare arm into the machine. If you get worrisome or wildly differing readings in the machine, come in to SHAC and let the professionals check it.

Core exams set new standards

Tuesday, March 25, 2014/ Page 5

AP Photo Amy Lawson, a fifth-grade teacher at Silver Lake Elementary School in Middletown, Delaware, teaches an English language arts lesson.

The school has begun implementing the national Common Core State Standards for academics

by Kimberly Hefling The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — What’s on the new Common Core-based exams? More than 4 million kids in U.S. schools soon will know.

Field testing begins this coming week in 36 states and the District of Columbia on assessments developed by two different groups of states. Participating students will be asked to sit for hours in front of computers, or else use No. 2 pencils to answer questions.

But there’s no need for kids to worry. The scores won’t count this time. The actual testing won’t be used for another year.

The Common Core standards spell out what math and English skills students should acquire in each grade, and are designed to develop more critical thinking skills than traditional school work. They were first pushed by governors concerned about the large number of high school graduates needing remedial college prep and lacking basic skills. Most states have adopted them.

The field tests, to be conducted until June, are a large step in the push to more fully integrate the new academic standards into the school environment. They will give education officials a chance to judge things such as the quality of each test question and the technical capabilities of schools

to administer the tests, which are computer-based but also will be available on paper.

But they also come as the standards face political push-back in many states Indiana lawmakers, for example, last year paused implementation of the standards and a measure ending the state’s participation is at the governor’s desk. House lawmakers in Tennessee passed legislation that would delay implementation and testing under Common Core for two years, but that proposal hasn’t been taken up in the Senate.

Common Core supporters hope the field tests provide an opportunity to highlight the best of Common Core.

“There’s been a lot of talk and a lot of planning and it’s actually happening, which I think generates some excitement and some reality, if you will, for the fact that this is moving ahead,” said Jeffrey Nellhaus, director of research, policy and design with the consortium Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC. While opposition to the standards has been multidimensional, some critics take issue with the tests and how the results will be used because the tests are designed to replace the annual assessments given in states.

Also complicating matters are the new teacher evaluation systems rolling out in many states that rely, in part, on student performance on annual exams.

Questions have been raised about when or if the Common Corebased assessments should count on these evaluations.

Supporters warn that scores on the new assessments will drop compared with the old tests, but they say they will be a more accurate measurement of student knowledge.

The field tests themselves have generated other concerns.

Some states’ officials worry about double testing, meaning some students are participating in both the field test and taking a state exam. In response, the Education Department gave California permission to just give the field tests to all students in third- through eighth-grades, meaning they won’t be given the state assessment this year. Similar permission was given in other states, including Idaho, Montana, and South Dakota, according to the Education Department.

PARCC said more than 1 million students will participate in its field tests, and about 10 percent of the students in 14 states and the District of Columbia will take them. It says its field tests will take no more than three hours for most students to finish.

New Mexico Daily Lobo

culture@dailylobo.com Theater has a bit of a PR problem.

People have a lot of preconceived notions about what it is and what it can do. I would even go so far as to generalize that most people have zero interest in watching plays.

Often they imagine something stiff, lifeless and boring. They’d rather spend their $15 on a new Hollywood movie, full of all the lights, sounds and stimulation you could possibly want.

To be honest, it’s hard to blame them.

I come from a different background, but I am still frustrated by what I see. It’s sad to see the same faces in every crowd, at every play.

This goes for the actors, yes, but mainly for the audiences. And it’s sad to see so much theater that just isn’t any good.

The problem for the public is exposure. Why don’t people want to see plays? Well, probably because they’ve never seen a play, or whatever idea they have of a play does not appeal to them.

It’s easy to consume television or movies causally.

Their

omnipresence makes it possible.

Not so with theater.

Any popular art that can equally be consumed as entertainment — that is, novels, comic books, television, movies, even video games — has a percentage breakdown of terrible, passable, okay, good or great works. Currently, that can extend to anything aesthetic, but it’s easiest to see in anything produced in an industry largely based around making money.

It’s cynical, but it’s the nature of the beast: most of these products will be bad or average. Few will be good. Fewer still will be truly inspired.

So where does it start? You begin dealing with the uncertain, unadventurous mind of the average person.

“It’s not my style,” you might hear. The appeal isn’t there because people don’t know there is something there to be appealing.

Perhaps more children should be taken to plays to learn it can be exhilarating or engrossing.

I like to be an idealist. It’s like being an optimist, but with more specifics in mind. I have seen and produced theater that I believe can

do unique things for the performer and the audience.

I know I am not the only person frustrated by lack of interest or low ticket sales in the grand scheme of things. If you want more people to see your plays, make better plays. It starts there.

Theaters need to keep in mind that the vast majority of people aren’t going to give a dainty discharge if a play is a rough-and-racy David Mamet, a classic Eugene O’Neil or even the Reefer Madness Musical. It’s all going to sound like stuffy Shakespeare or bland, safe Neil Simon to them.

The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves. The real audience to attract is not the fraction of the populous who are pleased by whatever they see, regardless of the play or its quality, but to the masses to whom sitting down for something alive and made in light before them would never occur.

If you’re not making theater like you have something to prove, well, there’s something wrong. Theater definitely has something to prove — to the masses, to itself and to you. It may, sadly, come to begging. Sorry for that in advance.
