Every two years those running for office tell us this will be the most important election of our lives, and I always roll my eyes and mumble, maybe for you.
This year’s election, which starts with early voting on Oct. 11, is pretty darned important, and not for who will win control of the House, Senate and other elected positions. This year’s election is important simply for the sake of elections themselves. Retablos are small devotional paintings popular throughout Mexico, depicting saints and household scenes that are generally kept in people's homes. NMSU holds the largest collection of retablos in North America, and this week the NMSU Art Museum is opening a major new exhibit called Contemporary Ex-Votos: Devotion Beyond Medium. It is the first exhibition to pair 19th and 20th century retablos from the NMSU permanent collection with contemporary Latinx artists.
Guest Curator Dr. Emmanuel Ortega, Marilynn Toma Scholar and Assistant Professor of Art of the Spanish Americas at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Museum Director Marisa Sage explain the important place of retablos in the history of the Americas, and the response of contemporary artists to these folk-art depictions of miracles. Carrie Hamblen discusses some of her personal life experiences, and some of the ethical, political and legislative considerations involved in the end-of-life process. Carrie shares about her painful loss of a personal friend to Parkinson's Disease - a friend who some years ago elected to let go of her own terminal, irreversible suffering but could not legally do so in her beloved New Mexico.
The laws governing end of life options in NM have been changed.

Las Cruces Bulletin publisher Richard Coltharp and writer Mike Cook gave a recap of the week's news and previewed upcoming events as they highlighted articles in the latest edition of the newspaper.
On this week's Speak Up Las Cruces, hosts Shirley Baca and Peter Goodman talked to their guests -
The comedy show was several years ago, and I don’t remember the comedian’s name. But I do remember the joke.
She was a Las Cruces native who had moved to Las Angeles to start her career and was back in town for the show, The joke was, “Nobody in LA cares about anything as much as you guys care about that stupid football game.” Except she didn’t say “stupid.” It was the late-night show.  Lisa Lucca talks with author Stacey Powells about her newly released collection of essays which focuses on how putting together the dysfunctional pieces of her life puzzle - that led to a breakdown - came together to help her heal.
As we continue our "Mortality Monday" series, we have a conversation with Karen Zinn, a representative of "Neptune Society", an organization that provides pre-paid cremation services. She shares her experience and observations of people who've accepted having to face some of the most practical details that families must deal with when a loved one dies - and some of the challenges and rewards for individuals and families making these important decisions.
Karen talks about how some of us tend to relate to (or avoid relating to) death, and how denial can fuel our reluctance to address end of life details. She touches on how it's often the women in the family who are most ready, willing, and able to initiate the planning process. She points to the differences between older and younger folks in planning and preparing - and many other subtle and thought-provoking human elements of living and dying in the 21st Century. Las Cruces Bulletin writer Michael Cook gave a recap of the week's news and previewed some upcoming events as he highlighted some of the articles in the latest edition of the newspaper.
