COVER, MARCH 11: “FLATTER DAY SAINTS”
NOT UP FOR DEBATE I resent the ignorant assertion that 99.9% of humanity is indoctrinated and is too stupid to see it. David Gordon and his anti-science cult are the brainwashed ones. Facts are not up for debate.
JONATHAN TAYLOR POWELL VIA FACEBOOK
REAL TRAGEDY People like David Gordon and Bob Knobel have the constitutional right to believe that their god gave them a brain so they wouldn’t use it. However, no one else is constitutionally obligated to hire or retain anyone that stupid. They probably believe everything Donald Trump says, too. The real tragedy here is that you are giving them a pulpit for their completely ridiculous ideas. Why are you wasting your weekly feature article on this nonsense? It is a sad day in the editorial room when this is the most pressing issue you can decide to write about.
JEFF SUSSMANN SANTA FE
A friend of mine says, “There ain’t no law against stupid.” However, the Reporter chose to give it a platform. What does that say about you? You’ll print anything that sells? Now you can’t accuse any other media platforms of anything. By the way, based on your photo, Mr. Gordon’s “religion” doesn’t seem to have any problems with (scientifically based) digital computers, synthetic fabrics and SUVs. I wonder what he believes about vaccines against viruses.

New Mexico Copes with COVID-19 T
COVID-19’s TIMELINE IN NEW MEXICO
he news is changing almost as quickly as we can keep up, and by the time these pages are printed, we’re certain there will be more to the story. During just the last week, as the disease COVID-19 spread in the United States and its global death toll climbed, New Mexico moved toward shutdown. As of this writing, both the state and city have declared formal emergencies. Federal court hearings are delayed. Schools are closed through the first week of April. Government workers are trying to perform duties remotely or getting extended at-home vacations. Restaurants and bars are under order to operate at only half-capacity, but some are choosing to close altogether or change to curbside carry-out models. Trains are not running. The ski hill closed for the season. We could go on…it feels a bit end-timesy.
IN JUST A WEEK ... Wednesday, March 11 • Gov. Michelle Lujan Grishim announces the first three cases of “presumptive positive” COVID-19 in the state. • By bedtime, the number rises to four. One is a woman who lives in Santa Fe County and recently traveled to New York.
Thursday, March 12 • The secretary of health issues an order prohibiting gatherings of 100 or more, with some exceptions including church. • State urges residents to avoid non-essential travel. • Grocery stores are hit hard with shoppers stocking up on staples.
Saturday, March 14 • Number of positive cases is 13. • Santa Fe Community College and Santa Fe Higher Education Center announce closure to begin Monday and last through April 6. Sunday, March 15 • Number of positive cases is 17. • Officials limit restaurants and bars to 50% capacity with tables and seating at a distance of 6 feet apart. • State agencies accelerate remote-work initiatives. • All state museums, state historic sites, state parks and cultural institutions will be closed effective Monday morning. • Ski Santa Fe closes for the season. Pojoaque Pueblo announces closure of casinos.
• Bernalillo County: 14 • Sandoval County: 2 • Santa Fe County: 4 • Socorro County: 2 • Taos County: 1 While health officials maintain patient privacy about many details of the cases, they have disclosed that one Santa Fe woman in her 20s who likely
Monday, March 16 • Number of positive cases is 21. • Even though it’s technically the first day of the planned weeklong spring break vacation, public school students in Santa Fe are eligible for drive-up meals through the duration of the closure. • Rail Runner Express train service suspended through April 3. • Five executive orders free up $3.25 million in state funds for emergency. • City of Santa Fe closes all libraries and recreation centers through April 5. Tuesday, March 17 • Number of positive cases is 23.

contracted the illness during travel to New York is hospitalized in an intensive care unit. The state fully expects more cases, and expects the virus to elevate to “community spread.” So far, new cases have been related to each other directly or related to travel, but Dr. David Scrase, secretary of the Human Services Department, warns that’s temporary. “Stay home,” Scrase says during an interview for SFR’s podcast this week. “Of course things like washing your hands on a regular basis—and soap and water works just fine—are recommendations. And if you are in charge of a business or have the ability to move your workers and employees to a home-based business using technology, we are asking everyone to do that as well.” Read more SFR stories at: sfreporter.com/covid

Friday, March 13 • Number of positive cases rises to 10. • The Archdiocese of Santa Fe joins Catholic churches across the nation in canceling Mass. • New Mexico Public Education Department announces closure of public schools for three weeks starting March 16. The superintendent of insurance makes new rules to guarantee treatment and testing. • Meow Wolf closes to the public.
On Tuesday, state health officials announced two new positive tests, including a Santa Fe County man in his 40s. Until that day, state officials called test results “presumptive” pending affirmation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; now the state is free to declare its own results. That brings the state’s total number of reported cases to 23 as of presstime, with the breakdown as follows:
A worker cleans at the Santa Fe Children’s Museum before that organization and others opted for full shutdown instead of partial closure.
Feeling icky? New Mexico health officials ask anyone experiencing coronavirus symptoms such as cough, fever or shortness of breath to immediately call the state COVID-19 hotline or their doctor to get screened remotely. People determined to be at risk of having contracted the disease will immediately be referred for a swab test. But not every headache or runny nose is cause for alarm. For people who call in with these kinds of symptoms, the advice is quite mundane: Stay home, take care of yourself and avoid the elderly or immunocompromised. Call back if things get worse. “This is allergy season, and allergy symptoms such as sneezing or itchy eyes, nose or throat do not indicate a need for testing,” reads a Tuesday press release from the New Mexico Department of Health. “While the state is gratified that COVID-19 testing is increasingly available, we need to prioritize testing for persons with symptoms of COVID-19 infection—

fever, cough or shortness of breath.” Christus St. Vincent hospital has opened a drive-up testing site for patients with a referral from a doctor or from NMDOH.

The district sent students home with Chromebook laptop computers and iPads last week in preparation, and now García says getting teachers and schools organized for the endeavor that begins March 23 is next. SFPS’s virtual curriculum could include everything from online resources already in use, such as a program called Google Classroom where kids can access their homework assignments online, to live streaming or video chat classes. “This is going to completely change our working conditions,” says Grace Mayer, president of the teacher’s union NEA-Santa Fe. “We have to provide a completely new way of educating students. The delivery and instruction is going to look very different from what our teachers were trained to do.” Comcast has announced it will provide free internet access in coming weeks, and the district is also looking to set up trucks with hotspots in areas where connection is unreliable. SFR spoke to parents at a drive-up free lunch station at Ramirez Thomas Elementary School Monday as food service workers passed bagged lunches through open car windows, and many had concerns about long-term care. One parent, Tommy Mascareñas, tells SFR he and his children’s mother are trading off-days to stay home with the kids, and that he will have to take days off from his job at a nearby senior living center. He says the center is currently on lockdown and is juggling the schedules of four employees who are all taking time off to stay home with their kids.
“What I’m mostly worried about is my financial situation,” Mascareñas tells SFR. The district is providing free “graband-go” bags at a handful of schools from 7:30 to 8:30 am for breakfast and from 11:45 am to 12:45 pm for lunch starting this week. Any student under 18 is eligible to pick up a meal at any of the locations, even if they don’t attend the school: Aspen Community School, Capital High School, Chaparral Elementary School, Kearney Elementary School, Ramirez Thomas Elementary School, Santa Fe High School and Sweeney Elementary School.
Nonprofits challenged with food security, homelessness Organizations around the city that rely partially or heavily on volunteers are feeling the stress of a drop in participation. Edward Archuleta, executive director of St. Elizabeth Shelters & Supportive Housing, which runs several overnight and long-term shelters, tells SFR a lot of volunteers canceled because they “don’t feel safe coming in” and being around people in close quarters. The shelter is operating at maximum capacity with 28, and Archuleta says there is “no way” St. Elizabeth’s can do social distancing because they are all in one building. But the shelter is taking precautions such as taking the temperature of everyone who enters. “We’re all in this together,” Archuleta says. “We can’t close down. We can’t send these people out into the streets.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

at grocery stores as people stockpile essentials, The Food Depot is working on a strategy to increase food distribution to seniors and public schools. The food bank wants to include groceries to take home as well as the prepared meals already being served. “People who were economically vulnerable before this are even more so now,” Dixon says. “They couldn’t build up a two-week supply of food. As people hoard things, we have a population of people who couldn’t make preparations at all. They didn’t have the money to do so.”

The same goes for Sue Carr, assistant to the executive director for the Interfaith Community Shelter at Pete’s Place, who tells SFR they are “looking for any volunteers.” The Food Depot, Northern New Mexico’s largest food bank, has also been encouraging volunteers to cancel if they are “high risk” individuals or have traveled out of state recently. Jill Dixon, director of development for The Food Depot, tells SFR while she doesn’t have a number of volunteers they need to continue operating as before, they do need low-risk and healthy people to repackage food for distribution and to actually distribute food. But more than a drop in volunteers, Dixon is concerned about Santa Fe’s most vulnerable low-income residents, many of whom live on the Southside. In order to combat recent shortages
Incarcerated New Mexicans like those inside the state pen in Santa Fe County face extreme risk for the virus. Across the highway at the county jail, officials await test results on a suspected case in a federal inmate.
an Albuquerque lawyer who filed a tort claims notice on behalf of two dozen inmates on Tuesday have the same concerns: Incarcerated New Mexicans are at extreme risk of the spread of the virus. Parrish Collins, an Albuquerquebased attorney who specializes in civil rights, filed a tort claims notice that warns of legal claims against the state Corrections Department for its “gross negligence and deliberate indifference to the dangers of COVID-19.” Those people include a number of individuals imprisoned at the Penitentiary of New Mexico in Santa Fe County. Collins based the notice on recent visits with clients. A spokesman for the department said the attorney’s visits that led to the notice came before New Mexico’s first confirmed COVID-19 infection. At that time, Corrections was “following standard flu season sanitation procedures” and monitoring the coronavirus situation nationally. “Upon the confirmation of cases in New Mexico, we immediately took action,” the spokesman said, pointing to measures Corrections has taken since last week, including eliminating all “contact visitation” at state prisons, even for attorneys and family members. Bennett Baur, the state’s chief public defender, asked the Supreme Court over the weekend to consider immediately postponing all trials across the state and consider releasing some prisoners. “This is a very difficult decision because all public defenders care deeply about safeguarding our clients’ rights to speedy determination of their cases, but in a health emergency like this one, the safety of our clients and our court community is of the highest concern,” Baur wrote. “If this virus gets into one of our jails, the conditions are such that it could spread rapidly in close quarters, and many people in jail are already in poor health.”
Meanwhile, Santa Fe County officials are awaiting the results of the first COVID-19 test conducted in their jail. Authorities arrested a man in Albuquerque over the weekend who was wanted on a US Marshals Service warrant, Santa Fe Warden Derek Williams said in an interview. Not long after his arrival at the county jail, the man showed signs of a possible infection, the warden said. He was immediately moved into what jail officials are calling the “quarantine pod” — an area inside the jail with a dozen cells that has been designated for anyone with symptoms of the virus. Officials were awaiting the results of a test conducted on the man as of Tuesday afternoon. Jail officials have designated a separate area of the jail as the “intake pod,” he said in the interview. That’s where all newly arriving inmates will spend their first 14 days in the lockup. There, authorities will monitor them for coronavirus symptoms. Like the state prison system, Santa Fe County has suspended in-person visits to the jail through April. It’s not a perfect system, Williams said, acknowledging that the situation with the virus is changing nearly every hour. “I am confident with it for now,” he said. “We really have some good support and partnership from the judges and the DAs and the public defenders. We have some really good, well played-out plans of action, and I feel really good about it. I think we have some good safeguards in place.”

“
he Ringer,” the first track on Eminem’s 2018 album, Kamikaze, includes a line that piqued Buzzfeed reporter Jason Leopold’s curiosity: The rapper claimed the Secret Service visited him due to some controversial lyrics about Ivanka Trump. To find out if it was true, Leopold filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the federal law that allows anyone to demand access to government records. After a year of delays, the Secret Service provided Leopold 40 pages about the interview with the real Slim Shady, including a note that he was “exhibiting inappropriate behavior.” This wasn’t the first time government transparency has intersected with hip-hop. Type “Freedom of Information” into Genius.com (the site formerly known as Rap Genius) and you’ll turn up tracks by Sage Francis and Scroobius Pip using FOIA as lyrical inspiration. The hip-hop duo Emanon sampled Joanna Newsom for “Shine Your Light,” in which they declare that due to redactions of FOIA documents, we’re “never gonna see the true history

of this nation.” Even George Clinton, whom many rappers cite as inspiration, chanted about “getting funky” with the freedom of information on the track “Maximumisness.” There’s nothing quite like an envelope of freshly photocopied documents to make a journalist or open-government advocate break into song. But there’s also nothing that brings the melody to a record-scratching halt than the government withholding information without due cause. The Electronic Frontier Foundation is an international nonprofit based in San Francisco that fights to uphold civil liberties in the digital age—work that includes filing hundreds of public records requests each year with a variety of government agencies. In collaboration with the Association of Alternative Newsmedia, we also compile “The Foilies,” a list of anti-awards that name and shame government officials and corporations that stymie the public’s right to know. Now in its sixth year, The Foilies are part of the annual Sunshine Week festivities, when news and advocacy organizations celebrate and bring attention to state and federal open-records laws that allow us to hold the powerful to account. And the winners are….
It’s not often that prying documents out of the CIA comes with a little bit of help from the commander in chief. But Buzzfeed reporter Jason Leopold (yeah, he turns up a lot in The Foilies) stumbled into just that kind of luck when Trump tweeted an acknowledgement that he had ended “massive, dangerous, and wasteful payments to Syrian rebels fighting Assad.” Leopold requested information on the payments from the CIA. Despite the president’s confirmation that these payments existed, the CIA still refused to confirm or deny the records existed, a move known in the legal world as a “Glomar response.” Leopold went to court and a judge found that because Trump had acknowledged the payments publicly, the CIA had to stop playing secrecy games and hand over the documents.
THE SPACE OPERA AWARD:
New Mexico Spaceport Authority
In space, no one can hear you scream about thwarted public records requests. Down on Earth, you can take the government to court and make them listen. That’s what Heath Haussamen, editor and publisher of NMPolitics.net, did after the New Mexico Spaceport Authority in 2017 refused to hand over basic public records related to the private companies that lease real estate at Spaceport America, the much-publicized commercial launchpad just outside Truth or Consequences. With a New Mexico Attorney General’s Office opinion in hand that determined the Spaceport Authority had violated the state’s open records law, Haussamen filed a lawsuit. After following the wormhole of the justice system, Haussamen finally received the records in 2019, along with a $60,000 settlement for his trouble—but not before the New Mexico Legislature stepped in and passed a new law granting the Spaceport even more secrecy over its operations.

THE SMOKESCREEN AWARD:
Texas Elementary Schools
Across the country, parents, educators and lawmakers are fuming about nicotine “vaping” among underage students. Considering that this is branded as a public health crisis, one would assume schools would be forthcoming with data about vaping incidents on campuses to help inform policymakers. That’s not what Sarah Rafique, a reporter with ABC 13 Investigates in Houston, found when she filed records requests with more than 1,000 schools across Texas. About 10% of agencies missed the 10-day deadline to respond. One school demanded an (illegal) flat fee of $150 for all requests, while another agency demanded to know the reason for the request before they’d hand over the documents. “It was weird, too, that some districts said they didn’t have any data/information but when I explained I was reaching out to 1,000 districts (and they wouldn’t be singled out, per se) all of a sudden they had numbers to share,” Rafique said in a Twitter thread outlining the most troubling responses to her requests.
THE UNCONTROLLED BURN AWARD:

MIKE KATZ-LACABE
Act request for information about surveillance technology, the Irvine Police Department provided researchers at MuckRock and Open the Government with a catalog called the “Black Book” from a secretive company called Special Services Group. The catalog advertised a range of spy devices that would make Q drool, including cameras that can be concealed in gravestones, vacuum cleaners and baby car seats. But, as Vice’s Motherboard prepared to publish a story on the documents, Special Services Group stepped out of the shadows to issue sweeping legal threats, arguing that by publishing the documents, researchers were violating everything from federal copyright law to arms control regulations. Vice, MuckRock and Open the Government rightfully resisted the censorship threat, since that’s not how it works. Special Services should have taken its beef to the city’s law firm, which reviewed and then released the documents.
Someone at the Federal Aviation Administration has an unhealthy relationship with their CD burner.
Center for Human Rights and Privacy filed a FOIA request with the FAA to get records about helicopters and airplanes operated by 19 different police agencies in California. The FAA turned up 120 MB of files. They could have put them on a single CD-ROM, which can hold about 700 MB of information. Instead, the FOIA officer burned the records to 19 separate discs and sent them to KatzLacabe in the mail.
THE QUEEN OF ALL FOIA DENIALS:
for documents relating to the Mueller investigation, the Justice Department claimed it has as many as 19 billion responsive records. This would mean the investigation had generated or collected more than 28 million documents each day, weekends included. Although Mueller’s investigation lasted 22 months, the DOJ told Leopold it would take 2,300 years for it to review and produce the requested records for public disclosure. Leopold tweeted that he is exploring cryogenics as a way to review the records in the 4320s.
Egyptian Museum of Berlin
For three years, Cosmo Wenman battled with the German-governmentfunded Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection (aka, the Egyptian Museum of Berlin) over a freedom of information campaign to release the 3D scan of a bust of Queen Nefertiti. The museum denied the request for the high-quality scan of the over 3,000-year-old statue, arguing that it would threaten its commercial interests—namely by creating competition in the sale of images or reproductions. “The organization was treating its scan of Nefertiti like a state secret,” Wenman wrote in Reason After a prolonged battle, and temporary access to a very slow computer containing the scan, Wenman was finally given a USB drive with the full 3D image. No word on whether museum visits have declined precipitously.

THE POINTLESS REDACTION AWARD:
blank or fully redacted. Mayor Reed is no longer in office, but his legacy lives on in Atlanta, where his former press secretary, Jenna Garland, was convicted this year of violating Georgia’s Open Records Act. The New York Times reported that she sought to frustrate journalists’ requests for records by directing city spokespeople to be “as unhelpful as possible,” “drag this out as long as possible” and “provide information in the most confusing format available.” This is the first time that a public official has been charged or convicted under Georgia’s open records laws—and if recent history is a guide, it may not be the last.
Mueller Report
Among the many blacked-out sections of the Mueller Report, a few redactions particularly stood out. The National Security Archive reported that the Justice Department redacted sections of public news stories that the Mueller Report quotes or cites. For example, the report cites a CNN headline as: “[Redacted] Says He Won’t Agree to Plea Deal”—but the CNN story is freely available online, and a quick Google search shows that the redacted words are “Roger Stone Associate.”
THE REPEAT WINNER AWARD:
Atlanta Mayor’s Office
Back in 2018, then-Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed earned a Foilie when he responded to a corruption probe by releasing 1.476 million documents, which he displayed in a 6-foot wall of boxes at a news conference, even though it turned out that many of the documents were entirely
THE UNNECESSARY FEE AWARD:
Horry County
Horry County, South Carolina, is the home of Myrtle Beach and its many dedicated beach-goers—and to this year’s most unnecessary FOIA fee. The Myrtle Beach Sun News sent requests to a number of local towns and public entities inquiring about payments made on behalf of public agencies to settle lawsuits in the last five years. Many of the towns in Horry County emailed the responsive documents back for free; some charged less than $50, but the county itself asked for $75,500. When asked why the records cost so much, the county was unable to provide an exact accounting. Although its $75,500 demand is not the most outrageous total to grace the Foilies, Horry County’s response is award-worthy in light of how disproportionate it was compared to other agencies.

THE SURVEILLANCE FOR YOU, PRIVACY FOR US AWARD:
Ring Inc.
EFF has written a lot about Amazon Ring surveillance doorbells, mostly aided by a torrent of great investigative reporting done by journalists using public records requests. The doorbells may be capturing the movements and conversations of neighbors and pedestrians in neighborhoods all across the United States, but Ring employees really value their privacy. One researcher, Shreyas Gandlur, turned up an email from Ring to the Joliet City Police Department, asking them to redact the names and email addresses of any Ring employees that may show up in emails released through FOIA. “Ring employees have strong personal privacy interests,” wrote one Ring employee (whose name was redacted).
Immigration and Customs Enforcement How hard is it to unmask records on face recognition? The Project on Government Oversight (POGO) discovered the many faces of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when it filed a request for information on the agency’s acquisition and use of face recognition technology. ICE initially said it had only three redacted records—while failing to search one of its largest directorates, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). After POGO successfully appealed, ICE responded that a query of ERO had been conducted and was being reviewed. Two months later, ICE said the request had been closed. After POGO contacted the agency, ICE then contradicted itself, stating that the

In 2019, the Chicago Police Department was in the news multiple times for its inability to respond to even the most straightforward public records requests. After members of CPD raided the wrong home and traumatized a family, the family sought to get the body camera video of the raid. The family believed that, in addition to showing the mistaken raid, it would also show police misconduct. Unfortunately, the CPD refused to turn it over. In July, CPD was forced to turn over

withholding records? In ICE’s case, it created its own. As is common practice in immigration court, where there is no discovery process, attorney Jennifer Smith sought the immigration file of a client by filing a FOIA request with US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). USCIS told Smith that it had identified 18 records, but instead of producing those records, it mysteriously instructed Smith to request them from ICE. Two years later, ICE finally responded that it was withholding the records to “deny fugitive alien FOIA requesters access to the FOIA process when the records could assist the alien in continuing to evade immigration enforcement efforts.” While admittedly creative, there is no “fugitive disentitlement” exemption under FOIA. Moreover, this fake exemption countered exactly what immigration attorneys are trying to do: ensure that their clients won’t be considered fugitives. The ACLU of Colorado sued on Smith’s behalf, and in 2019, won the case.
With the rise of outsourcing, no-bid contracts and elected officials seeking to reduce government spending, private businesses and government have never been more intertwined. Whether it be face recognition technology or algorithms used to determine whether people receive public-assistance benefits, private companies and the technology they build are embedded in government’s daily work. Yet in June, the US Supreme Court made it much harder for the public to access records that involve private companies. In the case Food Marketing Institute v. Argus Leader, the court inter-

THE RESIGNED TO SECRECY AWARD: Oregon Gov. Kate Brown
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown came into office with a stated goal of restoring trust after public records showed that her predecessor had ordered officials to delete thousands of his emails from state servers. One concrete step Brown took to improve transparency: creating a state public records advocate to push for more openness. The abrupt resignation of Oregon’s newly minted public records advocate, Ginger McCall, in September significantly undercut Brown’s stated commitment to transparency. In her resignation letter to Brown, McCall said that she received “meaningful pressure” from Brown’s office to advocate for the governor’s interest, rather than the public’s interest in having a transparent state government. Brown’s office at first denied McCall’s characterization and later chalked it up to a difference in views on McCall’s position. McCall released notes of her meetings with Brown’s staffers that reflected an effort to make McCall’s position report directly to the governor’s staff, rather than being an independent advocate for the public. If there is any doubt, we believe McCall. She has long been a conscientious and honest advocate for the public’s right to know.
THE ENEMY OF THE PRESS AWARD:
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra Obtaining data about police misconduct under California’s public records law can be a crime, according to California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.
That was the upshot of legal threats Becerra’s office made to two investigative reporters in March after they received data on police officer arrests and convictions in the past 10 years in response to a public records request filed with the Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training. According to a letter from Becerra’s office, the spreadsheet, which detailed officers’ criminal histories, was off-limits to the public and its mere possession by the reporters was a misdemeanor. The reporters didn’t back down and instead “formed an unprecedented collaboration to investigate the list, involving three dozen news outlets across the state.” Becerra’s legal threats backfired spectacularly, leading to statewide comprehensive reporting about criminal investigations into police officers, including a searchable database. But Becerra should never have threatened the journalists in the first place; it was an authoritarian move that conflicts with his efforts these past years to position himself as the counterweight to President Donald Trump.
THE STUPID, DUMB, F**KING IDIOT AWARD FOR POLITICAL INTERFERENCE:
US Department of the Interior
In 2019, reporters at Roll Call broke the news that the Interior Department had been allowing political officials to intervene in the processing of FOIA requests, either by stalling or potentially blocking the agency from fulfilling the request. The reporting on this so-called “awareness review process” was based on FOIA documents obtained by Aaron Weiss of the Center for Western Priorities, an environmental organization based in Colorado. Among the scores of examples Weiss obtained was a stalled FOIA request from Buzzfeed’s Jason Leopold for all emails in which Interior press secretary Heather Swift used the terms “fucking,” “idiot,” “stupid” and “dumb.” (Swift had already been caught calling CNN’s René Marsh a “fucking idiot” in an email.) “If political appointees get to decide what the public gets to see, it completely undermines the letter and spirit of FOIA,” Weiss says.

preted a FOIA exemption broadly to allow the government to withhold records that a company considers confidential. Prior to the Supreme Court’s decision, private information could not be withheld from a FOIA requester unless the government or the business could show that making the information public would harm the business. But under the court’s June decision, the government can withhold any information a business deems private. Confidential business information under FOIA is thus in the eye of the beholder, a result that will frustrate the public’s ability to understand how the government uses private companies’ products and technologies as part of its duties.

governor of New Mexico and won its claims that her office violated the state’s sunshine law. Now, the city of Santa Fe and a mayor hailed as “progressive” are in the crosshairs. That’s probably not the best metaphor to employ, but here we are: At issue in this case is whether the Santa Fe Police Department holds its officers accountable when they violate policy and make bad decisions. SFR first asked the city for records showing whether an officer had been disciplined after he emptied his gun into an apartment occupied by a young man in the middle of a severe mental health crisis two years ago at the same time another officer fatally shot the man. Did either cop get in trouble? Did they get a pat on the back? Next, we asked about four other officers, three who made mistakes big enough that the city paid settlements to people who complained about them. But in no instance will Mayor Alan Webber and his administration turn over documents that show how police brass responded. The newspaper sued the city and SFPD’s records custodian, Greg Gurule, in March 2019. The lawsuit filed with the help of attorneys Daniel Yohalem and Katherine Murray claims that officials
violated the state Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) by denying SFR’s requests for records relating to potential discipline against the four officers. Other cities in New Mexico disclose such records, but a day in court seems to be the only way to get Santa Fe to open its files. Attorney General Hector Balderas, who is responsible for enforcing IPRA, has refused to issue an opinion in the matter. After a hearing Jan. 8 in which state District Judge Bryan Biedscheid denied the city’s motion to dismiss the case, the city declined to enter a confidentiality agreement that would allow both parties to review the documents at issue and argue how they should be treated. Last week, an assistant city attorney asked Biedscheid to review the documents in-camera, which means he’d look at them and determine which, if any, are subject to IPRA. After SFR replies this week, the judge could choose to schedule a hearing. The Foilies were compiled by Electronic Frontier Foundation Senior Investigative Researcher Dave Maass, Staff Attorneys Aaron Mackey and Saira Hussain, Frank Stanton Fellow Naomi Gilens and Policy Analyst Matthew Guariglia.

COVID-19 Concerns Hit Santa Fe Artists Hard High tensions and cancellations potentially devastating to working artists, musicians and restaurants
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
As COVID-19 spreads internationally and governments put restrictions into place, countless venues are canceling or postponing events and working artists everywhere are forced to take a beat. This is particularly challenging in a gig economy, and we’re learning, or at least comprehending more fully, just how connected the machine is. New Mexico declared a public health emergency and banned gatherings of more than 100 people last week. Then came news that schools would close for three weeks. Without trying to cause panic, it’s mildly terrifying, and Santa Fe creators are feeling the pinch financially. Filmmaker and videographer Kaela Waldstein, for example, lost a $3,000 job to film the Gathering of Nations’ Miss Indian World competition for her Mountain Mover Media company. Funded by the city of Albuquerque’s Urban Enhancement Trust Fund, Waldstein’s grant contract didn’t include

a provision as catastrophic as a pandemic (whose does?), and any other work she might receive (or already be doing) could be imperiled. “It’s an unknown,” she tells SFR. “Nobody knows how long this is going to go on.” Waldstein says she’s at least a little lucky—she’s a company of one and has some wiggle room. Still, she says, she can only hope her broader list of clients and other jobs help alleviate some of the sting she’s feeling. On the live music end, Geronimo Darras, crew chief for AMP Concerts, says he’s spoken to friends in similar concert production jobs in other cities who are equally nervous. AMP has nixed shows through the end of the month. “Austin shut down a week ago, Las Vegas is going down, I just heard [promotion companies] LiveNation and AEG canceled a whole bunch of tours— there’s no place to go,” Darras tells SFR. “This is just something that doesn’t really happen. There are people buying gear, the tech for live music, people who’ve invested who knows how much money into their companies to be prepared for summer tours, and now they’re stuck. How are they going to pay for that?” Darras says the timing is particularly bad for communities with slower concert seasons during winter, like Santa Fe. He expected, he says, for things to be picking up, but between the cancellations and AMP Concerts recently losing out on a $25,000 Levitt AMP grant (no relation to the promotions nonprofit) it has been using effectively for the last several years,

it’s another issue with which to contend. All the same, Darras says, he’s doing his best to take it in stride. “I think everyone just needs to take a deep breath,” he tells SFR. Musicians Bill Palmer and Stephanie Hatfield agree, though they’re both looking toward the future with apprehension. “We’ve lost every gig we have on the books indefinitely,” Palmer says. “This could be potentially hurtful across the board.” Palmer’s lucky, though, he says. With his Bill Palmer Recording company, he can make up losses by working with musicians in a smaller, one-onone capacity. For Hatfield’s part, she’s already kicking around the idea of virtual concerts live-streamed to social media with links to a virtual tip jar, the first of which could pop up soon to replace a recently canceled house show. “But if this continues for the next several weeks,” Hatfield says, “we can’t expect anyone to spend money on things as frivolous as entertainment.” It’s no easier for touring musicians who find themselves in other parts of the country with a slate of canceled shows. Clementine Was Right’s Nicholas Quintero tells SFR from the road that the band’s return home has been a “mad dash.” “It’s tough coming back and facing brief unemployment due to my security company’s main contract, Meow Wolf, closing temporarily,” Quintero says. “I, at least, have some of my rent forwarded, but the number-crunching and stress will take its toll on me—maybe the true lethal symptom of this pandemic.” Other traveling musicians might not make it home anytime soon. Santa Fe soundscape artist Thollem McDonas, for example, is in Lisbon, Portugal, and facing a string of canceled events. “I book all my own tours and don’t get paid until I show up and play,” he says. “It’s literally hundreds of hours of work with no pay.” McDonas says that he does have good friends in Lisbon and plenty of time on his hands to make the most of it, but that’s not always the case. Back home, galleries are feeling stress over the potential loss of income, but according to KEEP Contemporary’s Jared Antonio-Justo Trujillo, “fear and panic won’t get us anywhere.”
At the same time, Trujillo says he is, of course, concerned. “We are a small business and all my artists depend on the gallery to create leads and sales,” he tells SFR. “We can’t just go home and hope the US government will take care of us.” Pandemic concerns have hit the local food industry as well, with restaurants and bars ordered to limit seating to half capacity. But Back Road Pizza owner Piper Kapin is staying proactive. The restaurant is one of many that has implemented a curbside pickup option for customers nervous about entering public spaces. Diners can simply order online or by phone and then call when they arrive and a healthy Back Road employee will run the pizza out to their car. “People are stressed and, as a community business, we’re just trying to figure out how we can help and make things feel more normal and a little easier,” Kapin explains. “Hopefully keep our local economy going a little bit.” Perhaps the biggest industry in the state is grinding to a halt, too, with numerous film productions around the state suspending production for at least the next two weeks according to actor and film worker Braden Anderson. “I’ve never seen production shut down by anything, and I’ve already gotten three notices of push-backs or cancellations,” Anderson says. “As far as I can tell, everything is taking a break right now, which is huge for the industry—we’re talking millions of dollars.” The state Department of Workforce Solutions has adopted special unemployment contingencies, including waiving the provision that those on unemployment must actively search for work while receiving benefits. This really only applies to hourly employees, however, and not the self-employed or contract workers—like musicians and artists. “Self-employed folks are not able to get into our system,” says Bill McCamley, cabinet secretary for the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions. “If you’re a contractor and you’re going without work, unemployment is unfortunately not available. We are going to be obviously exploring some options over the next week or two to figure out what we can do to help. We don’t know what those are yet.”

BREAKFAST:
Season’s Eatings Green stuff’s growing out of the ground again—just pick it up and eat it STO RY + R E C I P E S BY COLE REHBEIN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
he spring equinox is this Thursday, March 19, which means the Northern Hemisphere is ready to provide humans with food once again. It’s time to detox and start re-centering fresh foods. To get a handle on all this newly emerging green stuff, SFR called up Gayle Ice of Ice’s Organic Farm, who, with her husband Ron, recently won the Organic Farmer of the Year accolade from the New Mexico Organic Farming Conference. She shared some seasonal updates from the farm, along with some tips to bring spring into your home. “Right now, what we have in the ground so far are sugar snap peas, and those’ll come in in June,” Ice explains. “We’ve got garlic…we have a few onions, and we have a few herbs that’ll be coming in, too.” Ice also says spring dining is as much about the setting as it is the food. “We do a whole lot of flowers…the daffodils are already up, they aren’t blooming yet but they’re already up, and they’ll be
blooming in the next couple of weeks,” she says. “On the table, you want to have flowers.” Ice is getting ready to start the later-season vegetables, like tomatoes and chile, in her greenhouses next week. She’ll be ready to bring things like garlic, onions and the daffodils to the Santa Fe Farmers Market the first week of May. Some things, like greens, are a little more tolerant of the cold and can grow in greenhouses or hoop-houses early on. Of course, nature starts providing greens of her own, too; here are some recipes to include in your next meal plans, to get your body in line with the changing seasons. The Santa Fe Farmers Market has a handy guide to what’s in season on its website, along with information about any potential closures due to COVID-19; santafefarmersmarket.com.
Dandelion green potatoes Serves 2-3
Dandelions are one of the first things to pop up in spring, and they’re not a weed: herbal medicine prescribes dandelion for liver cleansing, and there’s promising, early medical research showing its usefulness in treating diabetes. Of course, salad aficionados already prize dandelion greens for their tangy bitterness and spring mornings are still chilly and call for a hot bowl of fried potatoes, spinach and dandelion greens. Add a fried egg on top if you’re into that. • 3 tablespoons oil (vegetable or canola for crispy potatoes) • ½ pound potatoes, cut into ½-inch chunks (Yukon gold, especially baby, are best and seasonal) • ½ white onion • 1 clove garlic • 4 oz spinach • 4 oz dandelion greens • Roasted green chile (optional) 1. Heat oil on medium-high heat. Rinse potatoes; if you plan on using a starchy potato like a russet, it’s best to soak them overnight to remove starch; pat-dry before frying. 2. Add potatoes to pan; leave to sit 2-3 minutes before turning. 3. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil to blanche dandelion greens.
FOOD
4. After about 15 minutes of potatoes cooking, add onion and green chile; stir. 5. When onions are just starting to get translucent, put dandelion greens in boiling water for about a minute; rinse in cold water and pat dry. 6. Add garlic and about half of the spinach to the pan; when it’s wilted, add the other half. 7. When that’s wilted, add half of dandelion greens, wilt and add other half. 8. Serve hot when last added greens are just wilted.
LUNCH:
Radish, watercress and sprouts tea sandwiches Serves 6
Light, easy and green like spring, these sandwiches come together quickly with beautiful layers and are like a spring shower, but for inside your body. Radishes are one of the first root vegetables to come into season and give these sandwiches a dose of flavor with some crunch. Serve these at your first post-quarantine tea on the patio with some crudite and lemon cookies and your guests will be like, “Ohmygod, Martha, this is your year.” • 12 slices thinly sliced white sandwich bread • 3 radishes, thinly sliced • ½ cup watercress • ½ cup sprouts (any kind) • ½ cup mayonnaise 1. Apply a very thin layer of mayonnaise to six slices of bread. 2. Arrange radish slices on top of mayonnaise, followed by thin portions of sprouts and watercress. 3. Add top layer of bread and slice diagonally. 4. Garnish with extra sprigs of watercress or sprouts. 5. Plate in a cute manner to impress; shoo curious cats while waiting for guests.

with Trevor Bahnson
ENTER NOW!
COURTESY FACEBOOK
As we’ve stated online and in this very issue, arts workers and musicians are feeling the sting of COVID-19 in a very real way. But as the self-isolations continue and many start to feel cabin fever, some musicians are taking to the internet to host virtual concerts through platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Former Santa Fean Trevor Bahnson is one such songsmith, and has been performing virtual concerts for the past few days while in isolation in the California Bay Area. SFR spoke with Bahnson to get the sweet and lowdown about taking his show online. (Alex De Vore) When did you first have the idea to do virtual performances? Probably a few weeks ago when everything was starting to look…part of it is, because I’m in a physically compromised space, because I’m susceptible, I’ve been thinking about it more than most people. I have cystic fibrosis, a genetic lung disease. I’ve had it my whole life, but the last four or five years have been progressively more difficult. I’ve been aware of how viruses spread because I’ve been in this state for so long. When this started happening, I knew what I had to do, but I think the scope of it freaked me out because I figured it was a much bigger problem than we were making it out to be. I’m much more prone to infection, so I’m personally not going to be able to go out, and after I had four tours cancel and five festivals— every performance was cancelled—I was like, OK, there’s gotta be a way to do this. [Sunday] night was the first time I’ve done anything, and I’m going to start doing it every night [on Facebook Live at facebook.com/trevor. bahnson]. It’s effective because people are on there at the moment. It’s a hugely potent time. I was thinking this morning that the one thing I wouldn’t want to happen is to go through this and not learn anything. We’ve all been given this fucking forced vacation, we can try to focus on bigger things. I would hate for this thing to happen and people not [take it seriously] because they’re afraid of getting bored. How might people find you, and do you accept tips when you play? [Sunday] night was the first one, and already I’m seeing the potential. The whole thing streams from me trying to get clear about what I actually have to offer people, and in this situation…it’s music. I’m going to make it public, I’m going to put Venmo [trevor-bahnson] and PayPal [tbahnson@gmail.com] links for people to donate if they can. It’s an important time for artists and musicians who’ve had work canceled or who’ve struggled…it’s a way to have exchange. But there are no requirements. If people don’t have means, it’s obviously totally cool. I want people to have a place to listen to music. Any advice for musicians thinking of doing similar “events?” I think just do it. In the process of doing it [Sunday] night, I worked out the kinks. You'll work out the kinks. I didn’t know how it worked, but the process was…just do it, see how it feels, then make a judgement. I think it’s also incredibly beneficial for people who aren’t musicians and who aren’t able to go to shows. The comments I got were super powerful. These are crazy times, and music is a really important thing for people in crazy times.

Big Time Adolescence Review

Teen-ing ain’t easy 10
+ JON CRYER
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I can just see the pitch meeting for the new Hulu movie Big Time Adolescence now: “It’s a real coming-of-age story except we also got SNL’s Pete Davidson to come in and play a complete piece of shit.” It’s hardly a stretch for Davidson (I assume, really, because I’ve never met the man, but, like, don’t you think?) to tackle the role of Zeke, a former high-school big shot whom everyone refers to as a “legend.” Particularly enamored is Mo (Griffin Gluck), a slightly younger kid who hangs around with Zeke years after his sister’s disastrous relationship with the guy. It’s like a symbiotic thing based in ostensible coolness, or at least whatever high school version of coolness exists out there (y’know, drugs and stuff ), but Mo’s parents (Jon Cryer and Julia Murney) don’t love what it’s doing to their kid (y’know, drugs and stuff ). Things only get worse when Zeke suggests Mo sell weed and booze to gain access to a party with his older classmates and to get close to a young woman named Sophie (Oona Laurence). Accepted because of his proximity to some dude with a medical card and access to liquor, Mo transforms into a bit of a piece of shit himself, but he’ll surely

learn some lessons along the way, right? Maybe. Big Time Adolescence has been lauded as an intimate look into the life of the American teenager, and though it does weave a cautionary tale about what we make of ourselves, what we owe others and some pap about being true to who we are, it only scratches the surface of these things. Director Jason Orley’s first feature skates right up to the ideas of mental illness and depression, but only superficially and without outright naming them. Davidson’s Zeke, we’re told, is 23 and feels lost and empty—though rather than delving into why that is or what toll they take, we get a short montage of filthy houses and nearly empty karaoke bars. We’re mostly told he’s a loser, though hints at a recently dead grandmother and Mo’s sister’s new relationship seemed ripe for development, though none comes. Gluck’s Mo is solid enough and often believable in scenes where he acts too cool only to regret it, but “friends with an older person” isn’t so much a personality trait. Still, Jon Cryer stands out as his
father, a man answering powerlessness with rising degrees of anger and fear and maybe even a little violence. Elsewhere, auxiliary characters orbit Zeke and Mo as plot devices and little else, and as caricatures of caricatures of high school teens go, they serve their purposes then flit off into nothingness. Lessons are learned for both Zeke and Mo, though Orley’s opus ends with a whimper rather than a bang as we see those lessons set up to dissipate. Perhaps this rings truer to life—people don’t often change—but if the goal was to prove to us Zeke and Mo could evolve, even incrementally, it’s still hard to sympathize with straight, white, mostly welloff and good-looking young men who treat everyone around them poorly then sit around wistfully wondering how it all went wrong. BIG TIME ADOLESCENCE Directed by Orley With Davidson, Gluck and Cryer Hulu, R, 91 min.

ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL’ BAND FROM TEXAS
ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL’ BAND FROM TEXAS

+ ANIMATED SEGMENTS - NOT MUCH ACTUALLY HAPPENS; NOT FOR CASUAL FANS
Of all the tales of white musicians taking on the blues and turning it into an electric guitarladen wank-fest, there is perhaps no story more American than that of ZZ Top, the (mostly) bearded trio of Texan weirdos who taught us all how to feel again. Or something. Or nothing—fact is, those who love ’em, love ’em, those who don’t, likely won’t. There is no in-between, but no one can say they’ve never heard a song, and that’s something, probably. Music documentarian Sam Dunn examines that little ol’ band from Texas (a moniker that really stuck with Billy F Gibbons, Frank Beard and Dusty Hill) through intensive interviews with the band itself, as well as notable Texans like Billy Bob Thornton, musicians like some yahoo in Mumford & Sons (but not Marcus Mumford) and various other hangers-on. In Dunn’s film, however, we don’t just get the stories from the players about toiling in Texas obscurity, that big break with The Rolling Stones and the birth of the massive beards—we get interspersed live performances shot exclusively for the doc and some very cool animated segments reminiscent of Mike
He’s got legs.

DON’T BREAK DOWN: A FILM ABOUT JAWBREAKER
Judge’s tragically short-lived music documentary series Tales From the Tour Bus. It’s almost enough to convert fans who never much knew or cared about the band, but the film is missing one important ingredient: drama. See, while there was certainly drinking and drug use and moments of insecurity among the band, Dunn’s film kind of side steps most of that for a straightforward story about some Texas blues obsessives who stumbled upon a relatively new sound—which was borne by rip-offery, make no mistake—and then got pretty famous without a whole lot of issues. Interviews appear to be taped in members’ houses, and they are gorgeous and well-appointed; stories are mostly funny little dirges about how they sometimes drank too much but still made the show, still finished the album, still wrote that kicky little guitar lick in C—and ultimately won fans. See, it’s not like it’s mandatory for a music doc to give us a leering look at hard times, but that doesn’t mean it’s particularly thrilling to learn ZZ Top did really well for itself without much adversity. Oh, the touring years were probably brutal and we can only assume these tres hombres got up to no good more than once, but outside of learning they’ve all got drive and heart, the story’s so simple we almost wonder why it took an entire film to tell it.

This week, Santa Fe Reporter’s news team has been in overdrive to keep the community up to date about public health directives and other ripples from the COVID-19 virus. We intend to continue publishing daily web updates and our weekly print edition for the foreseeable future. But, in deference to guidance from officials, we’re closing our downtown office for the next couple weeks.
Actor Shia LaBeouf has been a bit of a wildcard over the last decade or so. But for every screaming YouTube video he released, every blockbuster schlock-fest he appeared in or Daniel Clowes comic he plagiarized, he managed to churn out a halfway decent or memorable performance (Peanut Butter Falcon from earlier this year is pretty OK and say what you will about Nymphomaniac—that shit’ll haunt you). Has he been an unhinged Hollywood lunatic, or is he secretly some kind of marketing genius uninterested in whether the attention he receives is good or bad? Newly released Honey Boy might provide some insight, but it’s still hard to say and ultimately lacks a satisfying conclusion. In the film, which LaBeouf wrote and which is loosely based on his life, he plays a version of his own father Jeffrey (James in the movie) alongside Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place) and Lucas Hedges (Lady Bird) as a fictionalized version of himself, here named Otis. We cut between 1995 and 2005—a young Otis on the cusp of early childhood stardom and grappling to connect with anyone, especially his father—and then a post-DWI Otis forced into court-mandated rehab to avoid jail time. 1995 Otis employs his father as a means to stay close, 2005 Otis deals with the aftermath of the abusive paternal relationship; the alcoholism in his family that comes to a head the more lonely he feels and the pain planted all those years ago catch up. Jupe manages the performance of his admittedly short career, careening wildly from tersely delivered barbs meant to sting to ageappropriate confusion over why his dad acts the way he does. Living in a rundown hotel, young Otis forges a strong relationship with a neighboring resident credited only as Shy Girl (singer FKA Twigs, whose small but pivotal turn will surely generate buzz) who we’re led to believe is a sex worker. LaBeouf and director Alma Har’el succeed here in leading us to believe the worst will happen, but young Otis’s desperation for a parent figure feels more vulnerable and real in scenes with Shy Girl than it does in the adversarial ones with his dad. Hedges’s scenes feel less enthralling, however, and it’s rarely as interesting to see 22-year-old Otis screaming in the woods or stomping his feet during therapy sessions as it is in the simpler moments with Jupe. It’s just as well, because it’s LaBeouf’s movie and he can do what he wants—and he does disappear so deeply into the role of his father that you straight-up forget it’s him. LaBeouf’s dad has reportedly seen Honey Boy and the two are apparently on the path toward reconciliation, and it seems the film has been healing for its writer and star as well. But then, it starts to feel awfully self-important, and we don’t really get a payoff to so much exposition. It’s like we’re just supposed to know that LaBeouf had a career after 2005, which of course we do—you remember 2007’s Transformers, right? (ADV)

+ JUPE AND FKA TWIGS - HEDGES AND THE LACK OF PAYOFF
+ JAWBREAKER RULES; INTERESTING
during mounting inter-band tensions. Years of relentless touring, cross-country moves and going major label had exhausted the trio and made them pariahs of the punk rock world, and with sales of their final album Dear You tanking, it was over. Fast-forward 20 years, and filmmakers Tim Irwin and Keith Schieron (of the Minutemen doc We Jam Econo) present an in-depth look at the forming of Jawbreaker, the subsequent years rising to fame and the pressure-filled descent into obscurity—outside of most punks, that is—until the second life of Dear You some years later and, eventually, Bauermeister, Schwarzenbach and drummer Adam Pfahler’s unexpected 2017 Riot Fest reuinion. Don’t Break Down was actually released in 2017, but a new deal with a wider release finds it on streaming services such as Amazon Prime for the first time. For longtime fans, it’s a blessing, a strange journey of art school weirdos, battling egos and punk rock ethics as told by the band, their contemporaries, and those they inspired like Smoking Popes’ Josh Caterer and Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong. We even hear from famed producer Steve Albini, though it’s possible he thought he was working with the band Jawbox the entire time. Mistaken identity, politics and hurt feelings aside, it’s a deeply fascinating look at the missing link of punk, a band that inspired countless acts—who should have made it, and came so close, but that was never fully appreciated in their own time by the masses. As one interview subject implies in the film, while many looked to Green Day as the bridge between punk and the everyman, it was actually Jawbreaker’s mantle, though one they tragically lost. Don’t Break Down thus becomes required viewing for the punk rock elite, the poseurs and those who still believe poetry can come with distorted guitars and raspy voices. For old-timers, it’s a feeling that we’re still part of a community; for newcomers, it’s a lesson in a brief window in the ’90s when everyone wanted to be punk. For everyone else, it’s a solid music documentary with a subtle lesson: Keep passing the open windows. (ADV)

Bobcat may only have one eye, but he’s the most handsome hunk in town with that fancy Russian blue mane. This big, mellow boy is a love sponge, and gets along with literally every cat at the Corral, even the kittens who attack his floofy tail – and you would have to be a glacier to not melt for this cuddlebug. He arrived at the shelter with a badly infected eye, and we had no choice but to remove it and save his life: he will show his gratitude each and every day for this second chance at a new beginning. Bobcat is at the Sunrise Springs Cat Corral with daily public adoption hours from 1-4pm, and is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and FeLV/FIV negative.

NALA was part of a TNR program and found to be tame, so she was transferred to F&F to find a loving home. She is approximately 3 1/2 years old, a little shy at first, but warms up quickly to human attention. Her ideal home would be with a mature person, willing to give her time to settle in and build trust. She would prefer a home without young children. NALA and SAMMI became friends while living together at our cat boarding hotel, so we hope they will be adopted together.

SAMMI was pregnant at the time she came to F&F and delivered 4 babies while in foster care. She is 1 1/2 years old, loves to play and is very social. She can be nervous at first with new people, but she quickly warms up to love and attention. She gets along great with other cats and would enjoy a home with a cat companion. NALA and SAMMI are good friends and would make a great pair if you are looking for two.
These girls are currently at our Adoption Center in Petco. Please note: Adoptions are currently by appointment, but we encourage you to stop by and visit the cats during open store hours.
