NO MÁS - An original radio play by Meagan O'Toole-Pitts & Lustre Theatre

9/19/2020

 
NO MÁS, is an original radio play that tells the story of Carmelita Torres and the almost forgotten bath riots of El Paso 100 years ago. NO MÁS is a dramatic story of resistance, activism, and sisterhood. Acted by members of the Lustre Theater, the play is introduced by playwright Meagan O'Toole-Pitts.

In 1917, the mayor of El Paso and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service set up what they called The El Paso Disinfection Plant at the Santa Fe Bridge, allegedly to combat the disease typhus. It required all immigrants coming from Juarez to file through the facility and strip naked, where they were doused with kerosene, gasoline, sulfuric acid, and the notorious chemical Zyklon B, the toxic gas later used in the Nazi death camps. The workers, both men and women, were subjected to this treatment every day before they could enter El Paso for their daily jobs.

Carmelita Torres, a young housekeeper, refused to submit to this humiliating procedure, and led more than 200 women in a sit down action in front of the city's trolleys, which shut down the city for 3 days.

Originally broadcast on KTAL-LP on September 19, 2020.

Walt Rubel Commentary - Torres Small has a chance to settle in.

9/16/2020

 
In 2002, Steve Pearce beat John Arthur Smith in what I believe was the most important election in southern New Mexico of the past two decades.  The seat in Congress that both men were running for was open for the first time since 1980. That was the year Harold Runnels died three months before the election. Runnels was so firmly entrenched that Republicans hadn’t even planned to contest him.  Joe Skeen launched a write-in campaign to win the seat, then went on to hold it for 11 terms. Runnels, a Democrat, and Skeen, a Republican, combined to hold the seat from 1970 until that election in 2002. It seemed clear that voters in the district were more loyal to the person than the party. I figured whoever won that year would be able to settle in. Pearce served for eight terms, and would probably be the incumbent today if not for his ambition for other offices.

All About Books:  Deanna Dickinson McCall

9/11/2020

 
Picture
​Award-winning poet, author, and rancher Deanna Dickinson McCall talked with Lynn Moorer about her book of poetry and short stories, Mustang Spring, which is populated with characters who are at once tough, disciplined, fallible, vulnerable, and lucky.  Having ranched more than sixty years, beginning as a child with her family in California, then Nevada, Idaho, and New Mexico, McCall explained that her writing reflects the realities of women’s tenacity, endurance, and strength of character in ranching and their fight to preserve their livelihood which reveres land and livestock.
