• I live in East Mesa, which has regulations of City of Las Cruces against firing guns in Public Land and against Illegal Dumping, and setting fire to tires and junk on Public Land.
  
• 
  
• I could Call 911 if people firing guns in Las Cruces Public Lands-East Mesa & illegal dumping 575-528-4100. Do not confront anyone who is dumping illegally. Call the City of Las Cruces Codes Enforcement for illegal dumping within the city limits at 575-528-4100 City ordinance Sec. 19-164 prohibits the firing or discharge of any gun, pistol, rifle or other firearm – including air rifles and BB guns – within city limits, But I do not believe I should be confronting people doing this, and instead I appeal to storytelling, to educaiton, to common sense of the community and its governing bodies.

Click image above for video
July  3 2020 meeting  of Professor Boje has meeting with residents at the Ephemeral Wetlands Pond, south of Wilt Ave. Las Cruces, on STATE LAND OFFICE LAND to converse with District Resource Manager Michael Quintana, MQuintana@slo.state.nm.us , (mobile) 575-644-0673to discuss the future of the parcel of land on which the pond exists.

JUST THE BASICS ON 3  OPTIONS

Option 1 COMMERCIAL
LEASE 15 years for big bucks, unless you are a developer

Option 2 NO LEASE, each family buys $35 Yearly  Recreation Permit to walk on the land but cannot make improvements

Option 3  AGRICULTURAL Lease as an Organization, to be able to fence in the land, pick up the illegal dumping and make improvements, next leaser negotiates in the take over price

Please join East Mesa Wetlands Pond Protection Group https://nextdoor.com/g/uplbz8u7n/ Please attend next Zoom Story Circle to work out long term solutions.


Most residents don't know that EAST MESA PUBLIC LAND IS NOT BLM, NOT CITY, it is administered by rules of STATE LAND OFFICE.

A group of residents wants to lease it, and get hidden cameras installed, signs put up (no dumping, and Ns shooting, and no entrance at all without permit. Currently everyone there is trespassing. I bought a yearly permit just to walk there, for $35.

MEETING FRIDAY July 3rd 2020 in morning about 10am with 'State Land Office' which is administered by District Resource Manager Michael Quintana
Residents and anyone interested in caring for public lands encouraged to attend

Next Map the Hunters and Target Shooters Use to Identify Who Owns What Land

I annotated the ONX Map using Free 7 day Trial, DIY at https://webmap.onxmaps.com/map.html

The above ONX map shows why there is so much confusion over who owns what and can or can not hunt and shoot when and where. BLM (in darker green) has one set of regulations, State Land Office parcel (in green box Aldrich & Dunn Drive) has their regulations, the County lands (in light green), where Boje lives is in Dona Ana County, while across the street north me it is City of Las Cruces which has a no gun ordinance covering no shooting (not even a BB gun) at anytime for any reason on the entire map area.

" City ordinance Sec. 19-164 prohibits the firing or discharge of any gun, pistol, rifle or other firearm – including air rifles and BB guns – within city limits. Many portions of the East Mesa, specifically undeveloped land directly east of Sonoma Ranch Boulevard and Pagosa Hills Avenue, are within city limits and therefore off limits to hunting or recreational shooting" See Website.

As my neighbor points out there is another player, 'State Game Commission' of New Mexico:

"You are allowed to shoot on State land, we pay for access with our hunting license" He sent me this about the Right of Sportsmen's Access on Jun 28 2020 from the https://www.nmstatelands.org website

Above in the last sentence, is the sticky point. To fire your guns on STATE LAND OFFICE ' (SLO) State Trust Lands', do hunters and target shooters need SLO permission? Time to call 505-827-5760 and find out the truth.
Here is what the SLO website says:

What restrictions are there on hunting on state trust land?

"You can only enter state trust land for hunting during the season for which the license applies plus a seven-day scouting period prior to that season. You can only take an unprotected species (coyotes, prairie dogs, feral hogs) subsequent to your ongoing hunt. There is no license for unprotected species, so they are not covered by the current easement with the Department of Game and Fish. You cannot enter state trust land only to hunt unprotected species.

No off-road travel is allowed on state trust land. ATVs and other off-road vehicles (OHVs) are only allowed on established roads and must comply'

"

How do hunters access state trust land?

"A valid hunting, fishing, or trapping license allows for access onto state trust land through the State Land Office’s easement agreement with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. Access is only allowed during the ongoing hunt for that specific area, and it also allows for scouting access up to 7 days prior to the hunt."

Call 911 if people firing guns in Las Cruces New Mexico, Public Lands-East Mesa & illegal dumping 575-528-4100. Do not confront anyone who is dumping illegally. Residents and visitors to Doña Ana County can continue to discreetly and anonymously report illegal dump sites thanks to the launch of a new version of the ‘NoThrow’ smartphone app. https://www.donaanacounty.org/nothrow
The free app allows users to keep Doña Ana County beautiful by snapping a photo of an illegal dump site. Also Codes Enforcement for illegal dumping 575-528-4100

This parcel of Public Land (above in map) according to Dona Ana County Assessor's Office (Las Cruces), is actually owned by the 'State Land Office' which is administered by District Resource Manager Michael Quintana,  MQuintana@slo.state.nm.us , (mobile) 575-644-0673.

It is not owned by Bureau of Land Management (BLM), its Federal Land, Department of the Interior. It is on a county road named "Gas Line Road' that runs diagonally from lower left to upper right. The street on right id Dunn Drive, the street on very top is Aldrich (between Porter and Dunn).

Here is a Street Map (State Land Office)

In above State Land Office map, the dotted red lines are dirt roads that lead to the pond. With several access routes and no signs on any of them, illegal dumping and toxic polluting is going on.

I have been picking up beer bottles and can, liquor bottles, and hauling out the burn pits ash and embedded nails and such. Here is a storyboard

The technical terms (Before, Beneath, Bets, Becoming, Between and Beyond) are from my work on the science of storytelling. 

BEFORE - In the past burning tires, pallets, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and mattresses leaves a toxic mess.
BENEATH - To tell this story, you need concepts (foreconceptions) and here I show the relation between concepts of Physical World, Mental Word (what story is in head of people dumping and burning, polluting and breaking laws) and the Mental World of the government, the residents looking as bystanders doing nothing.
BETS ON THE FUTURE - What future do all the characters (government & business, K-12 & Universities, & environment organizations, and residents of New Mexico want. The leases raises money for schools, However, currently the parcel is not leased for anything.
BECOMING - I haul out the burn pit each time it reappears, and haul out the daily litter. Good news, for last five days June 19 to June 23 2020, no more litter or burn pits. It's peaceful place with potential.
BETWEEN - The jurisdictions for governing the uses and care of the land fall in-between the infrastructure of City, County, and Federal - State Land Office. Most residents and many officials assume it is BLM that has jurisdiction. Not True at all.
BEYOND - means intuitive that is beyond the five senses, and here I am working with Shamanic Drumming Circle folks who came up with this idea to storyboard the situation in our Meeting Jun 22 2020. I also listen to the place, its flora and fauna, its water, to get some sense of that story. It was suggested by a storytelling colleague to place a spiritual symbol (such as Virgin Mary) next to the burn pile, as an experiment. I chose some stones, and made the shape of the cross. I did this on June 18, 2020 and removed the burn pit you see above.
POTENTIALITY-for-Being-A-Whole Ephemeral Wetlands Pond In Arid Desert of New Mexico. My discussions with stakeholders suggest making it part of citizen science, a place where families K-12, and University folks can go as 'citizen scientists' to learn about water, about impact of climate change, invasive species of plants & trees, geology, biology, hydrology, the food chain of the pond, and how to care for an ecosystem.


This is the current Mission of State Land Office:

"This land, referred to as state trust land, was allocated to New Mexico by the Federal Government under the Ferguson Act of 1898 and the Enabling Act of 1910. The mission of the agency is to use state trust land to raise revenue for New Mexico public schools, hospitals, colleges, and other public institutions. The entities are the beneficiaries of revenue raised when the Land Office does business on state trust land. Revenue is raised by leasing land for oil, gas, and mineral exploration, business and commercial operations such as renewable energy projects, agriculture and livestock grazing, outdoor recreation opportunities, and much more." https://www.nmstatelands.org/about/

Ephemeral Pond when full in late June, July 2019 with some trash I picked up still there, but overall not too trashed
 


Ephemeral Pond in early June 2020, as the dump site for trash, buring tires (I rescued these, and take out the trash daily), buring pallets, burning discarded couches and easy chairs, old big screen TVs, burning mattresses, and buring plastic water bottles, soda bottles, shot gun sheels, riffle casings, small arms shells, and glass beer and wine and liquor bottles. It is wreckage upon wreckage in the history of the pond, and the pond's ecosystem is collapsing. Without care of many residents and many city, county, state, and federal agencies, it will be gone.

We can change the minds of people without awareness of the Sacredness of Place, the aliveness of places of Nature.

I title this Art Piece: Ecocide=Suicide!

This is stuff thrown into the burn pit, some did not burn and does mother know her can opener is tossed in the pit, or dad's tools, or brother's favorite knife, but the rest did burn and is a lump of melted and broken glass of beer, wine and liquor bottles, melted plastic water bottles, all with embedded nails and screws from burned pallets, and crisscrossed with steel wire from radial tires burned, and embedded with shotgun shells, and riffle shells from people who never learned to pick up after themselves, and never learned to pack out, to leave nature some sacred space of aliveness of water. How can we help them. Art is one way, things tell a story, and this ones a whopper. Why is so fun to pollute Mother Earth? Wreckage upon wreckage of the history of America, lies before us, and tells this story of human generations that have fallen away from Nature, yet they are Nature. How to awaken these sleeping souls?

We need a Happy Day of National True Storytelling, every day of the year

Once Certified as  a TRUE STORYTELLING FACILITATOR, you are gifted your very own talking stick will be crafted from desert wood, by David Boje and given a power animal or power element of your choice. This one is a Roadrunner. The real one is too powerful to show you here, and as a sacred object, has its own aliveness as a vibrant matter object of wood, bells, horse hair instead of a feath, and so on. I keep it in its own bag, gifted to me by a local artist who crafted the stick in image of roadrunner and a wonderful Native American doctoral student, now a wonderful professor.

Nature provides us with a Water Cycle to Cleanse and Purify Fresh Water in our Glaciers, Rivers, Oceans, Lakes, and Rain.

Do We Want New Mexico's Wildlife Ponds to Look Like this Ocean Beach?

When we humans pollute Our Desert Ephemeral Ponds (during 9 or 19 dry months) with burning tires and tossing plastic water bottles and Styrofoam into a desert pond, that irresponsible behavior affects the Water Cycle for us All, especially Migrating Birds and Wildlife when the rains come those few days and the pond is life-giving.

Why is this a huge problem? Because all the water that ever was in the world is the only water we will ever have. Earth's water cycle is a closed system, and this seeps into our groundwater, and evaporates into our atmosphere, then those nanoparticles of plastic pollution move around the entire world.

This is about true storytelling, moving out of untruth of bottled water, beer, and other advertising narratives of living now and acting irresponsibly so to the planet as to not notice the life cycles of Ephemeral Ponds and the Seasonal Water Cycle that life depends upon. And its SOLUTIONS to Living in the critical zone as Latour calls it, and caring for Ephemeral Ponds of near- or endangered- or -any species in search of freshwater to sustain their life cycle. This is a series of videos
that can be used in K-12 and university settings.

Figure - New Mexico Spadefoot Toad Life Cycle in Hiddenness of Ephemeral Pond of East Mesa New Mexico

Figure - New Mexico Fairy Shrimp Life Cycle in Ephemeral Pond of East Mesa New Mexico

PART I of 9 Videos is about Onto-Story https://youtu.be/6jhhJlky3zI  An Onto-Story is the story that material Things like Spadefoot and Fairy Shrimp are telling to us. Ont-Story comes from the work of Jane Bennett (2008) and is a way to understand the vibrant mater of Things, and their relation to other things, such as the burned and about to be burned tires I am rescuing from the desert so that pollution does not further destroy Life On Desert Pond (pun intended).

 

These 3 Cycle are Not Compatible in a New Mexico Ephemeral Pond

This is the interplay of the Cycle of Capitalism's impact upon the Cycle of Ephemeral Pond, The Water Cycle, and the New Mexico Spadefoot and New Mexico Fairy Shrimp Life Cycle and the Cycles of Life of Migrating Birds, the Dragonflies relying on the Ephemeral Pond, and some 47 aquatic species, we need to become aware of.

PART I: Onto-Story of Water Polluters Burning Tires & Plastic in a Desert Pond at https://youtu.be/6jhhJlky3zI

PART I: https://youtu.be/6jhhJlky3zI : Why are Folks Burning Tires in the New Mexico Desert of Las Cruces? In Part I, I David Boje, a storytelling researcher with 25 books and 150 articles on storytelling in society, was shocked to find tires being burned in the desert of Las Cruces on of the East Mesa. He tells the history of his father's trash compactor invention. Boje found trash in the desert of New Mexico HAS A STORY IT TELLS. How do we listen to it? I hear an onto-story of our existence on this planet.  An ONTO-STORY is about the 'vibrant matter' of things, how the energy of an ASSEMBLAGE of things has a story to tell. Onto-story comes from the awesome work of Jane Bennett (2008, Vibrant Matter book). William James the pragmatist, says things tell a story. Here I find tires in the desert that are not yet burned, on a pile of already burned tires, beer cans and bottles, plastic of all types of bottled water, and other litter. It's a tragedy of the commons, the CRITICAL ZONE of living Earth, that nobody seems to care about, until the ground water is polluted by nano particles of plastic from what is being burned. Sure its illegal, but what kind of education and parenting system raises its youth to not care. In Part II, I pack out the tires, glass bottles, plastic battles, and so on. In Part III, I make cob mix of horse manure (aka horse shit) to UPCYCLE and make art of making walls and an Earthship Greenhouse. See list of videos at https://davidboje.com

PART II: Pack Out the Polluting Plastic, Tires, etc. Others Don’t Pack Out  video at
https://youtu.be/S3XQUhAh6Ys
Boje will pack out the tires, glass bottles, plastic battles, and so on. Should we back the polluting things out before culprits return to burn them, polluting groundwater, the air, and ruining pond’s potential for wildlife and migrating birds?

PART III: How to make Horse Manure Cob walls and Earthship Greenhouse from the Litter Folks Deposit in Desert Pond at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ6VbM4N-Wo 

This is Third Part of Seven videos, about Making cob from horse manure, and use it to make art, and functional stuff like earthship greenhouse plaster.
 How to make Horse Manure Cob walls and Earthship Greenhouse in order to reclaim the polluting liter, cover it in mix of clay, sand and horse-shit that is used to makes walls, and natural plaster for the greenhouse itself.


PART IV What onto-story are trash bags littered in ephemeral Pond telling humanity? Video link
https://youtu.be/L5l8-LQ2Lcs

Henry Thoreau went out to find the TRUTH about Life, True Storyteller Research David Boje is trying to save the Ephemeral Pond has important hidden species can survive in that place. After contacting the Mayor of Las Cruces, his Council person for East Mesa, The BLM manager, the County Manger, the County Commissioner, The police Chief and Codes Enforcement, on May 29 2020, the government consensus was cannot do anything during the Corona Pandemic to help the East Mesa Ephemeral Pond. So David Boje, a citizen scientist and Regents Professor Emeritus of New Mexico State University loads up burned shopping cart, burned plastic, and heaps of beer cans and bottles to get the pond ready for June July rain when it will fill up and the life cycle of a near-threat level endangered species the symbol of New Mexico, the Spadefoot Toad, and an actual endangered species, the NM Fairy Shrimp, will have the water to come out of the soil, grow to adult, find a mate and reproduce. They provide food for many other bird and animal species. Some 47 aquatic species can thrive in Ephemeral Ponds of New Mexico, or Party Animals can gather and trash the 'Place'

PART V: What onto-story the burned trash of party goers has to tell humanity?  Video link
https://youtu.be/GwSVtXtk3XU David Boje, storytelling researcher found the ephemeral pond trashed in the East Mesa desert of New Mexico. He heard from the police and various government officials, that during covid19 pandemic, resources too lean to respond, so Boje is cleaning up the mess of the ongoing youth partying, himself. TRASH HAS AN ONTO-STORY IT TELLS. Onto-story comes from work of Jane Bennett, about vibrant matter of things, and the story of their existence and our own, being told. How do we listen to onto-story? Boje takes a forensic approach, by asking trash burned what is your history, what story do you have? Then he looks a the true storytelling of Henry David Thoreau, and in next segment the critical zone of planet Earth (Latour) and Butler’s staying with the trouble, our accountability and our answerability to act (as Bakhtin calls it). What is our responsibility to the soon to be endangered spade foot toad and currently endangered species, the Ne Mexico fairy shrimp?

PART VI: What onto-story the TRASH BAGS tell us all? Video link
https://youtu.be/_bchK1F_4R0
Boje the storytelling researcher, listens to the onto-story the trash bags are telling him. He posits scenarios about the socioeconomics situation of families resorting to tasing their trash bags of garbage into an ephemeral pond in the desert. Its like the party goers are bringing the family trash to the event. But are the middle class litters or so poor they cannot afford Dona Ana County landfill fees? Things tell as story says William James, and this trash speaks volumes.

PART VII: As My Dad
Always Said, Don't Just tell the problem, what Solution to you have? Video link
https://youtu.be/IrgFh_ZIzrM

Image above is my version of Professor David Johnson's Composting Bioreactor – see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuW42tFC4Ss

David Boje, offers solutions to the 15 year problem of Party Animals trashing the desert, folks dumping their trash bags in the Ephemeral Pond of East Mesa, New Mexico. As a storytelling researcher, Boje is intervening by RESTORYING the problem as systemic, as intergovernmental, as K-12 and university education, and as the continuing quest to move from UNTRUTH into Living story relationship to Nature, to Gaia. This means staying with the trouble (Haraway) and being answerable for one's own acts and deeds in the world. It is a recognition of the CRITICAL ZONE of a thin crust like an egg shell of soil and atmosphere and water around the earth, and we have to be able to help it not breakdown.

WHAT IS THE NEXT FILM? In June and July I will film the Life cycles of the Ephemeral Pond, showing the New Mexico Spadefoot Toad uncovering itself from its Hiddenness in the soil for 10 months, once the pond fills with rain water in June and July, then as the pond evaporates with no more rain in August, new generations burrow into the ground to hyphenate for 10 months until the life cycle repeats. Similarly, the New Mexico Fairy Shrimp's in their little pods, hatch once the June and July rainfall fills he Ephemeral Pond, feasting on the algae, mating, reproducing, until August or whenever the pond dries up. These two primordial living cycles interact with the seasonal Hydrological Cycle of evaporation, cloud transportation of water vapor, and precipitation.
 

Figure The Global Hydrological Cycle is part of the Seasonal Water Cycle of Ephemeral Pond of East Mesa New Mexico


PART IX: What is the VERITAS of a place? Video link
https://youtu.be/knFURkkVo20

The Goddess of Truth can see what is happening to nature. In the frame art piece, I take trash out of a sacred place, and Ephemeral Wetlands Pond in East Mesa Arid Desert of Las Cruces New Mexico, so that the wildlife of the pond might live another season. The objects from the burn pile are from melted rubber and plastic from discarded radial tires, beer bottles, wine bottles, vodka shots, melted plastic water bottles, nails and screws and metal connectors from shipping pallets, and there are objects that did not burn in the fires set by folks living in the nearby suburbs. A mix of federal, state, city, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and inter-territorial zone officials, can not figure out who has what jurisdiction of the Ephemeral Wetlands Pond, so its a wild west no-man's land, where anyone can do anything, burn tires, dump their trash to avoid the county's land fees, or city's trash fees. All well and good, but the native wildlife has so very few wetlands ponds, and have adapted to survive on the two months of water, each year, that fills the pond. The pond and all its species are going to collapse from all the wreckage upon wreckage of American History. Will there be an awakening to the aliveness of place, to how many other species share a place?

What is storytelling in six sentences? 

1.    Beneath are the grand narratives of organizations, capitalism, and societies disciplining and punishing us to be an Abstract character that is not I.

2.    Bets on the future that are either Futuring the status quo of Business-As-Usual (BAU) or the more daring bets of new pathways to avert 6^th Extinction consequences of BAU.

3.    Becoming of Care by our moral answerability to intervene in the Futuring troubles of living in multispecies storytelling.

4.    Between of infrastructure in the reality of spacetimemattering of things Being-in-the-world Grounding our human activities.

5.    Beyond of our grasping of spiritual coming into the world from many other worlds Rehistoricizing the present.

6.    Before of many Rehistoricizing histories, some that never were, and others that are Defracting into multiple prisms of our awareness because of some future that is not yet, but could become a new history of the present.
