This week on New Mexico in Focus… Correspondent Megan Kamerick interviews end-of-life planner Gail Rubin, who is the coordinator of the upcoming Before I Die Festival. As the world battles a pandemic, it is especially apt to talk about facing death and dying, a topic many people would rather avoid. NMiF producer Matt Grubs talks with New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver about how voters should handle absentee ballots in the closing weeks of the election, as well as how county clerks will have a head start – if they take advantage of it – in counting absentee ballots, thanks to a state law that lets those ballots be tabulated much the same as early in-person votes are in the days leading up to Nov. 3. NMiF began the week by hosting a debate between the three candidates hoping to fill the U.S. Senate seat that will be vacated by Sen. Tom Udall at the end of this year. Vying for the position are current U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Luján (Democrat), former TV meteorologist Mark Ronchetti (Republican) and retired nuclear scientist Bob Walsh (Libertarian). This week’s NMiF contains an excerpt of that conversation. The full hour-long debate, which aired on NMPBS last week Sunday, can be seen in its entirety at the VOTE 2020 page on newmexicopbs.org. Gene Grant and The Line opinion panelists look how Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham continues to try to bring down record-breaking coronavirus case numbers by restricting – but not shutting down – businesses throughout the state. New rules that go into effect Oct. 23 include a 10:00 p.m. closing time for retail shops, and mandatory certification for restaurants to stay in business. The Line also looks at more fallout over last week’s destruction of a monument on the Santa Fe Plaza. The toppling of the controversial obelisk left the city divided; many had been calling for its removal, while others wanted it left alone. The Line ends with a debate over Attorney General William Barr’s praise of Operation Legend in Albuquerque during a visit last week.

Don't plan to die? Bad news – humans have a 100% mortality rate. Yet only 30% of us make end-of-life plans: wills or trusts, advance medical directives and pre-need funeral planning. That leaves 70% of us unprepared and devastated, not if but when a death occurs. Listen to Gail Rubin on why we avoid the topic of death and what we can do to improve end-of-life planning rates so everyone can have a good goodbye. Gail Rubin is a pioneering Certified Thanatologist – a death educator who uses humor and funny films to help teach about serious subjects. She was one of the first people to hold a Death Café in the United States. Known as The Doyenne of Death, she's the author of A GOOD GOODBYE: Funeral Planning for Those Who Don't Plan to Die.

What a paradox: we are surrounded by death in the news every day - from terrorism to natural disasters to contagious diseases - yet it is the last topic we want to think about. Get ready for some gallows humor on today's show, as Gail Rubin shares her story about how she became The Doyenne of Death and how she helps people overcome the taboo. Her journey began in college when she satirized Ingmar Bergman's classic film The Seventh Seal and had her future husband play Death. Then her second wedding was such a fun event, it inspired her to write a column called Matchings, Hatchings and Dispatchings. When readers responded most to her columns about death, she went on to write the award-winning book, A Good Goodbye: Funeral Planning for Those Who Don't Plan to Die, and later wrote Kicking the Bucket List: 100 Downsizing and Organizing Things to Do Before You Die. She's also a pioneer of the Death Cafe Movement, where people have fun keeping the Grim Reaper at bay.
