COVID-19 Redux BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

oth Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center have seen slight increases in COVID-19 patients over the last week. Christus currently has seven patients with COVID-19; Presbyterian, meanwhile, has two and saw more COVID19-positive patients in the emergency department last week, as well as a slight increase in hospitalizations overall this month. “We are concerned whenever we see additional hospitalizations and serious illness due to COVID-19 in New Mexico,” Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center Hospital Chief Executive John Adams says via a statement provided to SFR. “We continue to remind our community that the best protection is to stay up to date on vaccinations. It also is important to test if you have symptoms and stay home from work or school if you are ill.” Increased hospitalizations in New Mexico correspond to rising hospitalizations nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and jibe with the growing cases reported recently by the state Department of Health. According to the most recent case report published Aug. 14, the state had 643 cases in the seven days prior. That’s close to 140% higher than the seven-day case count reported in the state’s July report. With cases rising, a new variant in the mix and winter in the offing, DOH Deputy Secretary Dr. Laura Parajón tells SFR the

department has stood up its COVID-19 situational awareness team again to “prepare ourselves for winter.” SFR spoke with Parajón about how the public can do the same. The interview has been edited for clarity and concision. SFR: Why do you think we are seeing higher numbers of COVID-19 cases right now in New Mexico? Dr. Laura Parajón: It’s hard to know exactly, but I would say that it’s a mix of: It’s been really hot so people are going inside… waning immunity; no one is really wearing masks anymore; and they’re vacationing everywhere— it’s very different than during the pandemic. Then there’s a new variant that’s coming up and the reason why the new variants are more successful are because they can really spread a little bit more easily. So I think it’s a combination. Has New Mexico seen cases of the new EG.5 variant yet? I can find out for you from our genomic sequencing team. They’re the ones who actually track it so I can see if we are seeing that. [Parajón subsequently shared via a spokesman that New Mexico thus far has six sequenced cases of EG.5, but “low PCR testing makes it harder to extrapolate. So this is likely an underestimation of what is really out there.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Nowcast also reports on variant presence by region, but did not have current estimates for Region 6, which includes New Mexico, as of press time. Nationally, EG.5 accounts for 20.6% of new COVID-19 infections]. It’s currently National Immunization

Awareness Month. I know that’s more focused on children’s immunizations, but what can you tell the public about COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters at this point? I think it’s become a little confusing. We’re in the in-between place, where the current bivalent booster covers the Omicron variant and we are waiting for the new one that covers [new variants], and is a more upto-date vaccine. And so that’s supposedly coming out at the end of September, middle of October. And you’re right that it’s confus-

DOH Deputy Secretary Dr. Laura Parajón

ing because the way that people talked about it [previously] was ‘I have my first booster’ or ‘my second booster.’ That just doesn’t matter anymore. It’s a clean slate and now it will be more like a flu vaccine where you get a vaccine every year. You don’t have to count booster vaccines; it’s just that every year you should probably get your booster vaccine for COVID. So everyone should wait for the new boosters? I think for the most part, people under 65 who aren’t as high risk for dying or getting

NEWS

really sick can wait until the new [booster] comes out. But, let’s say you’re older, you’re immune-compromised, you’re at risk for getting COVID and you never got your upto-date booster. And you’re seeing cases rise. Then you should probably consider wearing a mask and talking to your doctor about whether you should get boosted now and then in two months get boosted again. These are decisions people should discuss with their doctor. What’s the most important data point health officials are looking at right now? From a health official point of view, hospitalizations and deaths. We are seeing an increase in hospitalizations. And while it’s not nearly as high as it was in years past, we are keeping an eye on it. That’s why we do want to get the message out to say, ‘hey, if you’re older or if you’re immune-compromised [and seeing] rising cases of hospitalizations, make sure you take extra precautions.’ Will DOH be upping its messaging around COVID-19 going into winter? We definitely will be upping our messaging because, like I said, our seniors are most at risk. We have a great new vaccine for seniors for RSV and as we go into the winter season, we need to winterize as much as possible. Seniors can get vaccinated for RSV now, as well as COVID and flu. So, let’s protect our most vulnerable people by making sure we can vaccinate them. Let’s make sure all the kids in school are up-to-date. As soon as our [updated] COVID vaccine comes out, people should go and get an updated vaccine. That will really help our hospital system. I know people always talk about, ‘oh my gosh, I got vaccinated and I still got COVID, or I still got the flu after I got a flu shot,’ but it’s to prevent you from getting hospitalized, it’s to prevent people from dying. More information on COVID-19 vaccinations and treatments can be accessed online at cv.nmhealth.org or by calling 1-855-600-3453.

s we put on the brakes for school zones on some of our favorite shortcuts each morning and afternoon, back-to-school vibes proliferate the city. Put the Alice Cooper to bed, kids—school’s back for fall, and it’s taking names. The heat wave has passed, it seems, for now; the kids have fresh new backpacks and notebooks and books—why shouldn’t you have some of your own? In the new edition of our annual Back-to-School Reading List for Grown-ups, SFR staffers offer fiction and nonfiction recommendations from this year and late 2022, and hope others discover something to love. Find a murder mystery from Santa Fe-based novelist James Reich (and info on an SFR event tonight with the author). Get lost in the sprawling, teeming Southwestern short story collection from the enigmatic Robin McClean. Dive into the horror of dreams with Jessica Johns. Take a road trip with aliens in Connie Willis’ new novel. And, see the flipside of all that Oppenheimer hullabaloo. Plus, slide into the sick pow-pow of that gnar life with Steven Kolter and touch the power of the deceptively fragile snail with graphic novelist Maureen Burdock. There’s more where that came from, too, and now that you might have a little extra time on your hands after the school bell rings, escaping into the pages of a good book feels more doable. Read on, dear grown-ups.

In the poem from which writer James Reich’s sixth novel extracts its title— which appears as an epigraph in its second section— Percy Bysshe Shelley writes: The desire of the moth for the star, Of the night for the morrow, The devotion to something afar From the sphere of our sorrow? Knowledge of the poem, which the brooding English Romantic and provocative Shelley wrote before dying in advance of his 30th birthday in 1822, isn’t necessary, but does help set the mood—moods, really—for Reich’s gritty and poetic metaphysical mystery. The novel opens amid an existential crisis circa 1930s New York, as Charles Varnas mines his memories, sifting through vivid and occasionally grotesque images as he tries to recall the murder he may have committed in Cairo five years earlier. “It had been Charles Varnas’ twenty-fifth birthday, and his second visit to Egypt. Now, he was a murderer. Yet, he could not recall his victim in any detail, only the presence of a profound danger ebbing into the desert, to be borne away like someone drowning in the undulating sand.” His black hair now dyed blond, Varnas meets up with Campbell, his androgynous lover, with whom he drinks gin, smokes cigarettes, has sex in elevators and converses in haunted riddles. Those riddles persist as the novel continues to shift in time and space, both elements handled with lyricism and expert narrative authority. As questions mount—Did Varnas actually commit murder? What does Campbell actually know of his supposed crime?—so does the novel’s psychologi-

cal tension. Reich makes heady work of his main characters’ psyches, but not at the expense of environment, which he constructs with often super-sensory precision. Consider a scene in which Campbell remembers a moment the couple spent in Venice, traveling on a gondola, in which she summons visions of Thomas Mann’s Venice, with its “puckered and diseased flesh and the matted brown weed of sunken prayers.” Similarly, Reich balances the novel’s philosophical investigations with its plot, driving the reader toward its resolution and heartbreaking confession, which underscores the nebulous and nefarious quote from Jung that serves as epigraph for the novel itself: “Every attentive person knows their Hell, but not all know their devil.” The Santa Fe-based author, who is also a published essayist, journalist and ecopsychologist, will read from his book at a special event sponsored by SFR at 6 pm, Aug. 23 at Violet Crown Cinema, which will also feature a Q&A with this writer (who has plenty of questions about this evocative novel) and a book signing.

Get ‘Em Young, Treat ‘Em Tough, Tell ‘Em Nothing By Robin McLean And Other Stories, October 2022

As denizens of the Southwest, we’re all fairly saturated with stories of rugged Americana—gunslingers and frontier justice, trusty steeds, outlaws, sheriffs and lone wolves. Robin McLean’s story collection, Get ‘Em Young, Treat ‘Em Tough, Tell ‘Em Nothing, is similarly saturated—but in ways readers might not expect. McLean builds her stories on the bedrock of the tropes, myths and sen-

timents that fed colonial America: A couple homesteads in Alaska; an aunt and her nephew road trip through landmark historical sites like Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone and Monticello; an archaeologist works on a dig in good old New Mexico. But McLean’s treatment of these stories has her own stamp. The homesteading couple grapples unwillingly with the tension between history and constructed history as a mysterious illness grips Iris, the wife, her body seeming to reject her current reality in favor of an alternate one in which her Jewish ancestors had never been forced to leave Prague. The aunt is a jealous sister who has kidnapped her nephew, and their years-long tour of the US and Canada becomes fraught with disillusionment about the mythos of the settler landmarks they visit. The archaeologist working in New Mexico gets cock-blocked by a pterodactyl. The world of Get ‘Em Young carries disorienting currents of myth. As soon as readers start to get comfortable in one narrative (OK, that’s what this story’s about!) McLean pulls them into a subversive riptide. She draws her characters to edges and extremes, and her laconic storytelling gives readers few clues about where she’s leading them as they travel through her rough, unsettling landscapes. She debunks the myth of human dominance over nature, of the invincibility of bootstrapping pioneers. McLean’s CV says she now lives and teaches in the “high desert West,” and has a background as unlikely as her story scenarios: pushcart hot dog salesperson, lawyer and mediator, potter, sculptor and haunted corn maze manager—a breadth of experience evidenced by her selections. Get ‘Em Young is her second story collection, following Reptile House in 2015. It was a New York Times Editors’ Choice, and was longlisted for the 2022 Republic of Consciousness Prize. Overall, Get ‘Em Young is a book for those who dwell—literally or figuratively—on the edges. In the places perceived as barren wastelands (cough, cough, Oppenheimer). McLean’s honed, darkly funny and searching eye reveals that they are, in fact, teeming. (Annabella Farmer) CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

When you wake up from a nightmare, you don’t expect to take something from the dream back to your bed. It’s happened to Mackenzie three times now—branches ripped from a tree the first two times, and the third? The bleeding, decapitated head of a crow. In Jessica Johns’ debut novel Bad Cree, a young Cree woman’s dreams keep returning her to one memory as the one-year anniversary of her sister Sabrina’s untimely death approaches. But the dreams continue to haunt her waking life as well, a murder of crows following her every step—and she knows she has to return home to her family. When she returns to her rural home in Northern Alberta, she finds resilience with her grieving family. However, their reunion only intensifies her dreams, making them more dangerous. With the help of her family, Mackenzie needs to figure out

The Road to Roswell By Connie Willis Del Rey, June 2023

In an April 2021 New Yorker magazine story, staff writer Gideon Lewis-Kraus traced the trajectory of spaceships from punchline to serious government business. Roswell, New Mexico appears in the third paragraph of that story, naturally, where— as the story goes—an alien spaceship crashed in 1947: “Conspiracy theorists believed that vaguely anthropomorphic bodies had been recovered there, and that the crash debris had been entrusted to private military contractors, who raced to unlock alien hardware before the Russians could.” Flash forward to just last month when a former Air Force intelligence officer testified before Congress the government has been reverse-engineering unidentified flying objects and has possessed proof of extraterrestrial life since the 1930s (claims the Pentagon vociferously denies) and a group of US senators (including US Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-NM) proposed legislation requiring the government to

make its UFO records public. Science-fiction Hall of Fame member and multiple Nebula and Hugo award-winning author Connie Willis enters this real-world UFO landscape with her newest novel, The Road to Roswell, which is as much a road-trip, rom-com Western as it is an exploration of alien conspiracies. In this case, the truth is not so much out there as in protagonist Francie’s car. She’s arrived in Roswell to attend her college roommate Serena’s wedding to a UFO “nut job,” which will be UFO themed and, Francie hopes, canceled by her friend once she comes to her senses. Before that can happen, Francie must travel to Roswell from Albuquerque, no small feat given that the wedding coincides with the (real) UFO Festival. Willis writes: “Main Street was jammed with people setting up kiosks and banners reading GET YOUR ALIEN TATTOOS HERE, SPACE BURGERS, and E.T. SUNRISES— EXTRA TEQUILA, and setting out racks of alien repellent, UFO key chains, bumper stickers, magnets, mouse pads, coffee mugs, cookie jars, Beanie Babies, baseball caps, NEW MEXICO—LAND OF ABDUCTIONS and WHAT HAPPENS IN ROSWELL GETS SHIPPED TO AREA 51 T-shirts, and vile-looking fluorescent green snow cones and cotton candy.” If this sounds fun, it is. But no sooner has Francie cynically surveyed Roswell, an alien shaped like a tumbleweed abducts her and she becomes part of a small gang of fellow abductees who ultimately decide to help the alien and teach him how to communicate with humans. Along the way, Willis unpacks a slew of Western tropes and gently probes (pun intended) the underlying fears that drive people to view the unknown as enemies rather than fellow travelers. (JG)

Bad Cree

what her dreams are trying to tell her, and why. Johns, herself a Cree author who hails from Northern Alberta, Canada, presents a well-constructed horror novel steeped in Cree folklore and adds to the niche of Native voices that have begun cropping up in the horror genre: Stephen Graham Jones, Devon A. Mihesuah and Waubgeshig Rice, to name a few. While it’s not a blood-and-gutsheavy brand of horror, Johns is in her element when writing a slow-burning sense of dread that envelops you the further you read. The mystery surrounding Sabrina’s death holds up the bones of the story, with Mackenzie’s dreams providing the primary source of terror. Johns told Quill & Quire in an interview at the time of the book’s release that her inspiration for Bad Cree was a direct response to her creative writing teacher at the University of British Columbia telling his class to “never write about their dreams” in novels. She clearly disagreed, forming her central conceit around the idea. Johns’ writing style captivates with phrases that are blunt enough to convey to the average 20-something’s brain but without reading ironic in its approach to Mackenzie’s horrific situation. The book’s characters are its strongest point, with Johns weaving intricate family dynamics throughout her protagonist’s memories and embracing magical realism as the fitting vehicle for a haunting story exploring the a family’s grief and intergenerational trauma from settler-colonialism.

NONFICTION

Into The Light

By Mark Oshiro Tor Teen, March 2023 Readers feel a certain tension followed by a sense of urgency when first entering the world of queer Latinx author Mark Oshiro’s Into The Light. The novel tells the story of Manny, an unhoused, gay 17-yearold who has spent the past year alone traveling around different parts of the Southwest after escaping from his past. A second side to the tale reveals Manny’s life as Eli Sullivan, an adopted child sent to cult-like religious organization Christ’s Dominion’s Reconciliation camp to be “saved” by the Deacon, the head figure of the church. While Manny initially never wants to return to the life he left behind, he gains interest after seeing a news story about a body being found at the last place he saw his sister Elena, with whom he moved

from foster placement to foster placement growing up. With the help of the Varelas, a family spending their life on the road for similar motives, Manny embarks on the journey to Idyllwild, California, to confront his fears. Plus, there’s a small queer romance subplot and an unexpected surprise at the end. Queer people battling religious trauma, beware! Oshiro delivers a bit of a gut punch at times. Through a choppy, yet succinct writing style and frequent leaps between time, he paints a beautifully haunting picture of the American foster care system at the crossroads with Christian nationalism while also adding commentary to conversations on homelessness and race. At its highest, Into The Light is a sweeping body of work that leads readers to every piece of the puzzle in an engaging way. Combine that with a few uncomfortable yet enlightening moments, and the author delivers a memorable reading experience. Apart from the Southwest setting, New Mexico receives several direct nods from Oshiro in the form of a man named Cesar. Manny meets him at a rest stop in Las Cruces and learns rules on how to survive from him. Publishers classified the book as young adult, but with such raw descriptions and complex themes filling over 400 pages, it’s a good read for those of any adult age as well. Mystery lovers will appreciate how the author slowly unravels information, leaving readers to assemble the story in a puzzle-like fashion. (Evan Chandler)

Nuclear Nuevo México: Colonialism and the Effects of the Nuclear Industrial Complex on Nuevomexicanos By Myrriah Gómez University of Arizona Press, November 2022

All New Mexicans are familiar with descansos—the roadside crosses or family-made markers that line daily commute paths with reminders of loved ones tragically or violently lost. But as Myrriah Gomez reveals in her exhaustively researched and deeply upsetting Nuclear Nuevo México: Colonialism and the Effects of the Nuclear Industrial Complex on Nuevomexicanos, markers of the collective grief which New Mexicans inherit from the nuclear industry our state birthed remain mostly out sight. If we layfolk could drive behind the barbed wire and multiple gates offsetting Los Alamos National Laboratory’s S-Site from the general public, we’d find a lab-made memorial listing the names of four nuevomexicano men and the date Oct. 14, 1959. The locals lost their lives that morning when explosive scrap metal they were preparing for a lab-ordered burn detonated—instantly covering that same barbed

wire with pieces of flesh from bodies that were never returned to their families in the Española Valley. Unlike LANL’s famous Demon Core incidents, which killed two white, non-New Mexican scientists in 1945 and 1946, stories like that of the S-Site burning ground never made it to the pages of high school New Mexico History textbooks (let alone into the three-hour runtime of Christopher Nolan’s recent Oppenheimer). Gomez offers a place-specific antidote to such lacunas—tackling in order the forced removal of New Mexicans from the Pajarito Plateau to make way for Site Y, Española Valley labor and fatalities in early days of the lab, the exclusion of nuevomexicanos from the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act and the formation of (and local resistance to) Southeastern New Mexico’s so-called “nuclear corridor.” And as an academic text, Nuclear Nuevo México presents a formidable and data-rich response to the hunger for alternative histories emerging in the wake of Nolan’s exclusively scientist-focused flick. But the book is at its best and most potent in the introduction and conclusion, where Gomez wraps her research in a deeply personal context. Dropping her formal style and reverting to first person, she invites us into the funeral service for her own cousin, exposed to radiation from his work at the lab and dead of multiple-organ failure before his 42nd birthday. With all the sensitivity and specificity of lived experience, she guides readers through the Gordian maze of emotions that comes from being financially dependent on the same institutions which poison you. And she closes her brief but dense text by directly including her New Mexican readers, asserting: “I want the world to know that we exist, that we continue to be among the communities targeted by the nuclear industrial complex, and that we refuse to be its victims.” (Siena Sofia Bergt) CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Brave the Wild River By Melissa L Sevigny Norton, May 2023

Two botanists who cataloged plant life along the Colorado River in 1938 had no way of knowing their work would be some of the first and last scientific research of its kind before the US government embarked on its foolhardy mission to harness the river with a series of dams. But they had some inkling the plans to dam the canyons would change the area’s ecology forever. Prolonged drought and historic low water levels have renewed national attention on the Colorado, creating a fitting time for Brave the Wild River, which documents the work of Elzada Clover and Lois Jotter and provides them overdue recognition. While Clover and Jotter received publicity when they embarked on their excursion, newspapers, radio and magazines at the time fixated more on the

women’s gender than their botanical mission. Sexism in science didn’t stop them, author Melissa Sevigny writes, as “both women woke before dawn each day, cooked breakfast, stowed their bedrolls, and sometimes even collected and pressed a few plants before any of the men opened their eyes.” (And that’s after staying up to press plants by flashlight the night before.) Using original source material such as personal journals and letters, Sevigny employs Jotter and Clover as narrators for the larger story of the Colorado River in the last century and also unpacks their tenacity on the trip in wooden boats that lasted 43 days and covered 600 miles. On a whitewater route that witnessed the demise of many explorers before them, they not only survived, but found two previously unclassified species of cacti and helped refine ecological theories about how groups of plants respond to their environments. “Here is a case,” they wrote, “where drought vies with flood waters in exterminating plants struggling for existence in a trying situation.” Botanists who today are mapping the plant life as water levels drop at Glen Canyon Dam return to the women, as their papers served as “benchmarks in botanical research along the Colorado River.” Their work is included in a popular book still carried by river guides. The author seldom leaves Clover and Jotter’s side as she takes an enchanted, descriptive approach to the natural world and offers insightful analysis on the evolution of the river from Indigenous seasonal territory to a constructed “vast desert empire” of concrete, steel and stone.

Steven Kolter doesn’t like to talk shop on the chair lift. He’d rather hear about the best run of the day or where to find the deep powder. He will avoid chatting about flow science, neurochemicals, cognitive states or any of the other topics on which he trains corporate leaders and or advises athletes. Yet, in-between heartstopping chutes and soaring, spinning tricks, rides on the chairlift do help him put his peak-performance aging strategies to the test. Need a pep talk about getting older? Look no further. “Fragility,” he writes in Gnar Country, “is often a choice. If we train for old age like professional athletes, then we can offset significant physical decline and unlock serious help improvements.” Four of Kolter’s 14 earlier books have hit The New York Times best-seller list, including The Art of Impossible in 2021, and he was

Though it would be reductive to compare graphic artist Maureen Burdock’s late-2022 illustrated memoir to the likes of Craig Thompson’s 2003 opus Blankets or even Art Spiegelman’s enduring Maus, Burdock presents her life story in Queen of Snails with a moving vulnerability among the best in the format. In fact, Burdock, who today lives in Santa Fe, does her forebears proud while imparting a lesson or two of her own. She begins by opening that perilous can of worms known as the past. In its broadest strokes, Snails tells the tale of culture shock and fortitude, from a 7-year-old Burdock’s mother unceremoniously ripping her from her homeland of Germany following a failed marriage to the author’s experiences with subpar American schools, would-be kidnappers, eating disorders, shaky housing

situations, taekwondo lessons, museum obsession and, ultimately, perhaps unexpectedly, self-acceptance. Love, Burdock posits, might sprout and flourish from just about anywhere, even the most seemingly hostile environs—and it is so beautifully freeing to finally understand the ways in which we’re all just works in progress. Burdock artfully segues from bucolic Germanic origins—solo park trips at an age unthinkable in America; a forest to explore; a loving grandmother with the best backhendl recipe ever; and the deceptively stalwart snails in the garden—to the strange worlds of Nazi sympathizing family members with possible ties to the Hitler Youth, the dizzying highs of big city Chicago and the terrifying lows of remote rural American life. She leaves no stone unturned in a sojourn through her memories both good and bad, and though readers get to know the author, or at least the events that have shaped her motivations, it feels more like she gets to know herself. This is aspirational, or certainly inspirational, a lesson in how and why people erect walls around their hearts, but also in how to demolish them. The timing might never be right, but if readers aim to discover the bits and pieces that make up identity, if they’re hoping to discover how to fit into the world while making room for love, riding shotgun throughout Burdock’s bizarre, tear-jerking, heartwarming experiences serves as a wise place to start. Someplace between her range of realist and surrealist illustrations, we might feel a little less like we are alone. Maybe we can summon the bravery of the snail: Move slowly but purposefully, bear your fragile parts regardless of the world’s hurts, carry home with you wherever you go. (Alex De Vore)

wrapping up another one during the time when he embarked on the task that would become the subject matter of Gnar Country. His very early writing career included work for Freeze, which he describes as “the nation’s first extreme skiing magazine,” laying the groundwork for colorful language that makes the sport come alive in this new work. Short journal entries help make Gnar a page turner. The structure follows not just the arc of his learning, but other familiar milestones, such as the crippling COVID-19 shutdowns in the spring of 2020, followed by summer wildfires that kept him from June turns on Mt. Hood. “My seething rage at the shuttered ski resorts was growing dangerously worse,” he writes. “I was angry at the world. I was angry at God. What would make this okay?

That was the question I kept asking myself.” Kolter settles on learning how to park ski at the age of 53 as his answer to that question. And not merely a casual attempt at a couple jumps and spins, but a near maniac-level of dedication: to be steazy in the sick gnar. Readers can escape sultry afternoons with Kolter’s descriptions of dozens of icy chutes, powdery bowls, face-splitting winds (and even a nod to Ski Santa Fe) without ever desiring to give it a try, but they might find his life and career coaching slipping into their approaches to some other hurdle. “Flow follows focus,” he writes. “The state can only arise when all our attention is locked on the task at hand. And we pay the most attention to a task when its challenge level is slightly greater than the skills we bring to it.” (JAG)

Oh, y’know, no big—just checking it out when James Beard Award-winning food writer, Native food historian and Santa Fean Lois Ellen Frank comes to Eldorado to launch her new book, Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky: Modern Plant-Based Recipes Using Native American Ingredients. Eldo’s Purple Fern Bookstore hosts the event, which also reportedly features a dessert tasting, and chef Walter Whitewater joins the fracas in a discussion about implementing the ideas within Seed to Plate.

The Drama! Santa Fe Playhouse’s Fiesta Melodrama turns 101 but doesn’t look a day over 100 After 100 years of annual Fiesta Melodrama performances at the Santa Fe Playhouse, you’d think people would have realized the tongue-in-cheek nature of the show. This one’s meant to entertain and lambast to be titillating and raw—a roast of the town itself and the people, places, things, issues, laws, newspapers (although I still maintain it’s a travesty they’ve never based a villain on me), politicians, local celebrities and general Santa Fe-ness that makes this place so freaking weird. Still, according to Felix Cordova, a longtime melodrama actor who phased into the director’s chair for the first time this year, his new duties come with challenges all its own. “We’ve had 101 of these, and we’ve had certain traditions that now, with sensitive people, are hard to keep alive,” he tells SFR. “Now if you make an offensive joke, people want you to justify it, but that’s why the show takes place 100 years in the past, to say, ‘this is how we used to be and it’s OK to be a little risqué.’” As is tradition, Cordova directs the show from a script written by a shadowy cabal of anonymous Santa Feans. In this year’s production, the nefarious realtor Lupita Lottanalgas (Haly Elantus) hatches a scheme to destroy the town and get

rich at the same time. When she hires the seemingly naïve but ultimately über-good Mija Dos Dees (Tris Ikeda), however, that plot might go awry. It’ll be up to Mija and a cavalcade of locals to bring her down, and Cordova says the main sticking points will revolve around water use, gentrification and a perceived overpopulation of Santa Fe. He’ll also tread the boards for the show once more himself. “Honestly, I wasn’t planning on acting,” he says, “but we didn’t have a lot of Hispanic folks auditioning, so I threw myself in so we could add the Chicano-ness it was missing.” For those who’ll miss longtime melodrama player Cliff Russell who departed the company last year, keep an eye out for onstage Easter eggs. Actually, the whole damn thing’s an Easter egg. Maybe just do like Cordova says and just go with it. The show runs through Sunday, Sept. 10 and will sell out so fast. (Alex De Vore)

roof and replace it with new insulated skylights and redo the supports if necessary, as well as a lot of reworking of that space,” Gallagher Roberts explains. “The skylight will still be in that pyramid shape, but will be insulated and use a translucent material—we won’t have that direct sun.” Gallagher Roberts notes the renovations should reduce the museum’s annual natural gas costs by 10%, and its electric bill by 3%. “Of course, those are significant savings,” she says, “but it will also be able to reduce about 32.1 carbon tons of emissions. We’re anticipating a significant impact.” For newly minted MoIFA Executive Director Charlie Lockwood, the benefits are myriad beyond savings, even if the updates will close off the atrium for a limited time. “MoIFA’s atrium serves as the vital hub of our highly popular community programs, is used daily by school groups and visitors and serves as a focal point for both public and private events,” he tells SFR by email. “Support from the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation’s Climate Initiative will allow us to move ahead with much-needed replacement of the single-pane glass and steel sheeting atrium roof with skylight thermal panels made from recyclable materials that will improve energy efficiency and reduce our building’s carbon footprint. We believe this project is an important step toward becoming a more sustainable organization and an opportunity for MoIFA to play important leadership role as model for other institutions worldwide.” The galleries that house the museum’s

exhibits will remain accessible during any future construction. Meanwhile, downtown, contemporary art museum SITE Santa Fe has had quite a year when it comes to grants. In addition to the $50,000 from this round of Frankenthaler Foundation bucks, it recently picked up $250,000 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services for a website overhaul and another $45,000 from the Foundation of Contemporary Arts in the form of the Ellsworth Kelly Prize, which will go toward a future solo exhibit of more than 2,000 chemigrams (images made with light-sensitive paper) by Diné artist Dakota Mace. As for the Frankenthaler money, SITE’s Phillips

anta Fe marks more sunny days than not, which can—or should—have a major impact on how we harness energy. Yet, sometimes the difference between creating solar energy or not comes down to money. Three Santa Fe institutions will expand their uses of renewable energy thanks to sizable grants from New York City’s Helen Frankenthaler Foundation’s Climate Initiative. The Museum of International Folk Art, Santa Fe Art Institute and SITE Santa Fe are among 48 arts museums and schools nationwide to receive grants from the foundation’s third round of climate funding, which totals more than $2.7 million. The foundation, esestablished by postwar American abstract painter Helen Frankenthaler, reports it has awarded more than $10.8 million since its inception in 2013, affecting 175 projects across 150 organizations. The Climate Initiative began awarding funds in 2021. At $100,000, MoIFA will receive the largest sum among Santa Fe musuems, which it has earmarked to make updates to the 3,511-square-foot space that houses its central atrium on Museum Hill. A well-used and much-loved facility, the atrium most often hosts workshops, special events, visiting and local artists and private rentals. According to Michelle Gallagher Roberts, the deputy secretary of the state’s Department of Cultural Affairs, the atrium roof, which was built in 1987, has been a bit of an energy leak due to its advanced age. DCA used a grant from Frankenthaler in 2021 to study the project. The new money will go a long way, she says, toward the roof’s estimated $750,000 overall pricetag. “That’s to completely remove the atrium

Executive Director Louis Grachos tells SFR it will pay for 134 solar panels, which will be installed on the museum’s roof on Paseo de Peralta alongside existing equipment. “We are thrilled to be a grantee for the Frankenthaler Climate Initiative,” Grachos says. “The grant funds will support our plans to install an additional array of solar panels and will reduce SITE Santa Fe’s carbon emissions by 140,455 pounds annually and by almost 3 million pounds over the next 25 years.” For those keeping track, Grachos says the array will cut energy costs by 36% at SITE’s 36,000-square-foot building while increasing the museum’s existing solar production by 50%—which will bring SITE’s renewable energy usage up to 32% overall. In Midtown, Santa Fe Art Institute Executive Director Jamie Blosser tells SFR the $25,000 in Frankenthaler funding will play a vital role in longterm energy goals. SFAI will use the money to kick off a preliminary study for the installation of solar panels at its 17,000 square foot facility, and the long game hope is to reduce utility costs by as much as 80%, if not more. “[We are] excited for the Helen Frankenthaler Climate Initiative grant, which will help us to look at the viability of going all-electric and renewable,” Blosser explains. “This will not only serve as a model for the adjacent Midtown redevelopment, but it is aligned with the Midtown Master Plan’s sustainability and infrastructure goals.” For now, SFAI remains one of the last organizations still operating on the influx Midtown Campus development on St. Michael’s Drive. The institute has a long-term lease on its building, but earlier this month, it emerged with a group of other nonprofits called Midtown Arts and Design Alliance as a prospective developer of a visual arts center on the campus. All told, the Frankenthaler money comes at a time when the state is taking the future of climate change into account in a more aggressive way. “Absolutely this has been a priority for DCA,” adds Gallagher Roberts, pointing to a 2021 $100,000 Frankenthaler Foundation Climate Initiative grant awarded to the soonto-open Vladem Contemporary wing of the New Mexico Museum of Art. “We were able to leverage that money to implement solar panels that will be installed at Vladem. [The state has been] looking to increase efficiency at museums as applicable.” MoIFA’s a good start, but with numerous sites across the state operating under the DCA purview beholden to demolition and renovation rules based in historic significance, Gallagher Roberts tells SFR, that could prove a challenging prospect.

+ HONED-IN ADAPTATION APPROACH; ALIEN, BUT MAKE IT 1890S

- ANEMICALLY FORMULAIC

There are only two justifiable reasons in a film world so prone to IP cannibalization for re-adapting a novel that’s already been transformed for the screen: to correct a wrong or to take an entirely new adaptation approach. When the source material in question is Dracula, the stakes (oh, no) are even higher/pointier—whether you tend more towards Nosferatu or fall squarely in the Francis Ford Coppola camp, it’s already undeniably been done well. Last Voyage of the Demeter isn’t even the only such spinoff released by its studio this year (Universal was also responsible for this spring’s Renfield). But while there are certainly versions of this narrative with more bite, the latest Stoker extrapolation does, at least, manage to justify its existence. And that may be all it really sets out— or needs—to do. Demeter takes a single episode from the original Bram Stoker novel—the “Captain’s Log” section of chapter 7—and stretches the story of a ship unknowingly transporting Dracula from Bulgaria to England into a full feature. Working with such a small bit of text proves to be both the film’s downfall and its saving grace, as screenwriters Bragi Schut Jr. and Zak Olkewicz are left to supply all the new muscle for Stoker’s skeleton (the log from the book reads as little more than bullet points on the page). The pair rely on bloodless genre tropes and dialogue formulas to fill in

Despite hitting lower numbers in its opening week than the bigwigs at DC Studios would have liked, Blue Beetle has toppled the long-running number-one revenue streak claimed by Greta Gerwig’s Barbie this week with roughly $25 million in earnings—even if the very epitome of only OK. Sadly, however, Blue Beetle might fall prey to fewer production and marketing machinations due to its Chicano-heavy cast despite its being full of winners like George Lopez (because somehow studios still think audiences are more interested in white-heavy flicks; remember the bad CGI from the first Black Panther?). Here we join Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña, Cobra Kai), fresh out of college and returned to his Miami-like fictional home town of Palmera City. He’s not off the plane two seconds before learning his dad (Damián Alcázar) had a heart attack and lost his auto shop business, but nobody wanted to worry him with that stuff while he was at school. Also terrible, the family (including mom Rocio, Elpidia Carrillo; sister Milagro, Belissa Escobedo; grandma Nana, Adriana Barraza; and uncle, Lopez) is about to lose their home to the local mega-corp

Kord, which is run by the cartoonishly evil Victoria Kord (Susan Sarandon). Jaime somehow comes into contact with Vicky’s niece Jenny (Bruna Marquezine), who has stolen some kind of space beetle (voiced by Becky G) from the company. The thing turns out to be space armor, and so begins Jaime’s Spider-Man-meets-Iron Man thing, all while a movie from a corporation tells us how evil corporations can be. Maridueña is effortlessly charismatic between his wide-eyed “family forever!” thing and the pains of a young guy coming to terms with the way the world works while in possession of space armor. Escobedo steals the show as his sister, though, and most scenes are better with her—ditto the rest of the Reyes clan, who collectively find a believable familial dynamic crammed with broad and in-jokes about Mexican family. These are the best parts of Blue Beetle, especially Lopez’s paranoid Uncle Rudy, whose delusions turn out to be warranted.

the gaps, leaving few true surprises for the viewer. Still, by homing in on such a brief segment, Demeter avoids the cramped feeling that curses most full novel adaptations—leaving more room for the slow, moody atmosphere that makes the original tale so potent. When the animals in the cargo hold meet a bloody end below or when the ever-chittering rats abandon ship in hope of greater safety at sea, the gothic undertones of infection and plague so crucial to the novel crystalize more clearly than in wider-ranging adaptations. It’s no surprise, then, that goth king Guillermo del Toro was once attached to direct; the practical construction of the vampire would make that creature master proud. As it stands under André Øvredal’s (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark) direction, Demeter delivers an enjoyably bloody popcorn flick. But we can’t help wondering what additional complexity a director like del Toro might have sucked from the source. (Siena Sofia Bergt) Violet Crown, R, 119 min.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: MUTANT MAYHEM

Sarandon’s evil business lady character is terrible, however. She literally says stuff like, “As you know, our plan is to have the beetle so we can make better weapons!” What We Do in the Shadows’ Harvey Guillén lands on the receiving end of much of this janky exposition, and it’s only sad he doesn’t have a bigger role as he’s proven one of the more interesting actors working today. The rest is exactly what you think it is, though it might be important to see this one so we can prove to Hollywood that we’re ready for fewer Captain Americas and more varied representation. Besides, we want to see what more Maridueña can do with a less formulaic script, and maybe the sequel could go nuts.

Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem from celebrated Hollywood stoner Seth Rogen and longtime writing/ producing partner Evan Goldberg captures that certain something special that speaks to moviegoers of all ages. Let us tip our caps, of course, to the recent format-busting Spider-Verse animated movies for establishing the market desire for offbeat art styles, but Rogen and company have something special on their hands with their new animated property. See, Elemental (and other recent-ish Pixar properties) have struggled to adapt to various ages. Are the Disney-owned studio’s films aimed at today’s kids and their sensibilities? The parents? Neither, it turns out, at least not effectively—oh, how their ’90s heyday feels so, so long ago! Rogen, however, understands the sweet spot lies in using characters that aging nerds recognize, but designing them, writing them and executing them specifically for kids from the internet era. The older dorks who grew up with TMNT react to new takes on characters they know and love, the younger generations go wild for age-specific humor. In the newest outing for the fearsome fighting teens, heroes Leo (Nicolas Cantu), Donnie (Micah Abbey), Mikey (Shamon Brown Jr.) and Raph (Brady Noon) long to co-exist with the human world. Their adoptive father, the rat-man Splinter (a very funny Jackie Chan), forbids this—humans and mutants don’t get along! Enter April O’Neil (The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri), a high school-aged would-be journalist with a penchant for investigation who becomes the recipient of some ninja-based assistance and accepts the

turtles; together, they investigate a series of crimes throughout New York City. The turtles, they reckon, will be accepted by society if they do hero stuff. It’s not totally a spoiler to say that it’s mutants behind the crimes, but this is where the new TMNT truly shines: embracing the weirdo offshoot characters from the old TMNT days that mainly showed up as toys—characters like cyborg alligator Leatherhead (Rose Byrne), über-’90s skateboarding lizard Mondo Gecko (Paul Rudd), the bizarre Genghis Frog (Hannibal Buress), the impossibly land-based stingray Ray Filet (Post Malone) and the inimitably strange bat Wingnut (What We Do in the Shadows’ Natasia Demetriou) among others. The soft-reboot of the series mainly excels in the hand-drawn look to the 3D computer animation, though. Even so, each turtle now has its own notable identity, thanks both to the writing’s homage to longtime traits set down since the early days of TMNT and the standout performances of the core four’s teen voice actors. Reworking April as a teen helps, too, as it’s strange, in retrospect, that a bunch of teenage turtles were cavorting through NYC with a grown woman/ professional journalist. Like, she just hung out with a bunch of teens? Weird. Edebiri’s nuanced take on the character is wildly enjoyable, too, and the interplay between April and the turtles is consistently funny and heartwarming while avoiding schmaltz. Mutant Mayhem’s risky take on established properties makes it a winner that brings them into the now while paying the proper respect to their roots. Cowabunga, dudes.

MIND BODY SPIRIT PSYCHICS

Rob Brezsny

Week of August 23rd

ARIES (March 21-April 19): None of the books I’ve written has appeared on the New York Times best-seller list. Even if my future books do well, I will never catch up with Aries writer James Patterson, who has had 260 books on the prestigious list. My sales will never rival his, either. He has earned over $800 million from the 425 million copies his readers have bought. While I don’t expect you Rams to ever boost your income to Patterson’s level, either, I suspect the next nine months will bring you unprecedented opportunities to improve your financial situation. For best results, edge your way toward doing more of what you love to do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The amount of rubbish produced by the modern world is staggering: over 2 billion tons per year. To get a sense of how much that is, imagine a convoy of fully loaded garbage trucks circling the earth 24 times. You and I can diminish our contributions to this mess, though we must overcome the temptation to think our personal efforts will be futile. Can we really help save the world by buying secondhand goods, shopping at farmer’s markets, and curbing our use of paper? Maybe a little. And here’s the bonus: We enhance our mental health by reducing the waste we engender. Doing so gives us a more graceful and congenial relationship with life. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to meditate and act on this TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Addressing a lover, D. H. beautiful truth. Lawrence said that “having you near me” meant that he SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I hope that in the coming would “never cease to be filled with newness.” That is a weeks, you will wash more dishes, do more laundry, and sensational compliment! I wish all of us could have such scrub more floors than you ever have before. Clean the an influence in our lives: a prod that helps arouse endless bathrooms with extra fervor, too. Scour the oven and novelty. Here’s the good news, Taurus: I suspect you may refrigerator. Make your bed with extreme precision. Got all soon be blessed with a lively source of such stimulation, that, Scorpio? JUST KIDDING! Everything I just said was a at least temporarily. Are you ready and eager to welcome lie. Now here’s my authentic message: Avoid grunt work. an influx of freshness? Be as loose and playful and spontaneous as you have ever GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Humans have been drinking beer for at least 13,000 years and eating bread for 14,500. We’ve enjoyed cheese for 7,500 years and popcorn for 6,500. Chances are good that at least some of these four are comfort foods for you. In the coming weeks, I suggest you get an ample share of them or any other delicious nourishments that make you feel well-grounded and deeprooted. You need to give extra care to stabilizing your foundations. You have a mandate to cultivate security, stability, and constancy. Here’s your homework: Identify three things you can do to make you feel utterly at home in the world. CANCER (June 21-July 22): On Instagram, I posted a favorite quote from poet Muriel Rukeyser: “The world is made of stories, not atoms.” I added my own thought: “You are made of stories, too.” A reader didn’t like this meme. He said it was “a nightmare for us anti-social people.” I asked him why. He said, “Because stories only happen in a social setting. To tell or hear a story is to be in a social interaction. If you’re not inclined towards such activities, it’s oppressive.” Here’s how I replied: “That’s not true for me. Many of my stories happen while I’m alone with my inner world. My nightly dreams are some of my favorite stories.” Anyway, Cancerian, I’m offering this exchange to you now because you are in a story-rich phase of your life. The tales coming your way, whether they occur in social settings or in the privacy of your own fantasies, will be extra interesting, educational, and motivational. Gather them in with gusto! Celebrate them! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Author A. Conan Doyle said, “It has long been my axiom that the little things are infinitely the most important.” Spiritual teacher John Zabat-Zinn muses, “The little things? The little moments? They aren’t little.” Here’s author Robert Brault’s advice: “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” Ancient Chinese sage Lao-Tzu provides a further nuance: “To know you have enough is to be rich.” Let’s add one more clue, from author Alice Walker: “I try to teach my heart to want nothing it can’t have.”

been. Seek record-breaking levels of fun and amusement. Experiment with the high arts of brilliant joy and profound pleasure.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Dear Sagittarius the Archer: To be successful in the coming weeks, you don’t have to hit the exact center of the bull’s-eye every time—or even anytime. Merely shooting your arrows so they land somewhere inside the fourth or third concentric rings will be a very positive development. Same is true if you are engaged in a situation with metaphorical resemblances to a game of horseshoes. Even if you don’t throw any ringers at all, just getting close could be enough to win the match. This is one time in your life when perfection isn’t necessary to win. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I suspect you are about to escape the stuffy labyrinth. There may be a short adjustment period, but soon you will be running half-wild in a liberated zone where you won’t have to dilute and censor yourself. I am not implying that your exile in the enclosed space was purely oppressive. Not at all. You learned some cool magic in there, and it will serve you well in your expansive new setting. Here’s your homework assignment: Identify three ways you will take advantage of your additional freedom. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Though my mother is a practical, sensible person with few mystical propensities, she sometimes talks about a supernatural vision she had. Her mother, my grandmother, had been disabled by a massive stroke. It left her barely able to do more than laugh and move her left arm. But months later, on the morning after grandma died, her spirit showed up in a pink ballerina dress doing ecstatic pirouettes next to my mother’s bed. My mom saw it as a communication about how joyful she was to be free of her wounded body. I mention this gift of grace because I suspect you will have at least one comparable experience in the coming weeks. Be alert for messages from your departed ancestors. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Those who know the truth are not equal to those who love it,” said the ancient Chinese sage Confucius. Amen! Seeking to understand reality with cold, unfeeling rationality is at best boring and at worst destructive. I go so far as to say that it’s impossible to deeply comprehend anything or anyone unless we love them. Really! I’m not exaggerating or being poetical. In my philosophy, our quest to be awake and see truly requires us to summon an abundance of affectionate attention. I nominate you to be the champion practitioner of this approach to intelligence, Pisces. It’s your birthright! And I hope you turn it up full blast in the coming weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I don’t believe that in order to be interesting or meaningful, a relationship has to work out—in fiction or in real life.” So says Virgo novelist Elizabeth Curtis Sittenfeld, and I agree. Just because a romantic bond didn’t last forever doesn’t mean it was a waste of energy. An intimate connection you once enjoyed but then broke off might have taught you lessons that are crucial to your destiny. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to acknowledge and celebrate these past Homework: Cross two relatively trivial wishes off your list so experiences of togetherness.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
