I read your piece “Good Fire” with great interest. The piece oversimplifies history to make the point that Native people have always managed fire in New Mexico. Is that true?

The piece says “…Roosevelt’s administration took over enormous swaths of land in the Southwest through executive action, ousting Native communities from land they had managed for centuries.” This oversimplifies the complex history of northern New Mexico where Spanish colonialists drove Pueblo people off the land and relegated them to tiny land grants in the 1600s. (The American government greatly expanded the Pueblo land reservations centuries later.)

Further, anthropologists who interviewed hundreds of Pueblo people over the last century found little evidence that the Pueblo people managed wildfire very much at all, probably because lightning fires were so

Low Priority

With cannabis legalization changing the landscape, Santa Fe Police Department lacks in-depth, updated training on probable cause for searches

B Y B E L L A D AV I S b e l l a @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

U

nder New Mexico’s legalization law, cops can no longer use the smell or sight of cannabis as probable cause to search vehicles.

It marks a massive change in policing in the state: On June 28, the scent of a dime-bag in your glove box was enough to allow an officer to toss your truck or sedan; the next day, when the new law kicked in, not so much.

Despite the new reality, the Santa Fe Police Department is treating cannabis legalization informally. For example, the department hasn’t conducted in-depth training, such as bringing in a legal expert, to explain the numerous implications for the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against illegal search and seizure.

And as of now, there are no plans to do so, Police Chief Andrew Padilla tells SFR during an interview on July 23.

After the interview with Padilla, SFR talked to a criminal justice reform advocate and a legal expert who say SFPD’s lack of in-depth training on probable cause is concerning, given the stakes.

Padilla says his administration sent out a department-wide email the day legalization went into effect, with “updates and direction” regarding the law and, on July 6, followed up with a “special or-

der” providing “official direction to all personnel.”

Beyond that, the chief says, discussions about probable cause to search and other far-reaching policing strategies related to legal cannabis have been covered in rollcall briefings at which supervisors discuss changes to the law with officers.

Padilla says he’s not planning anything more comprehensive to ensure Santa Feans’ rights aren’t violated because there aren’t “major questions” that need to be addressed.

New Mexico law requires that all police officers take various courses every year and, in some instances, every two years to maintain their certifications. Think of it as continuing education for cops.

Some of the biannual requirements: a four-hour block on legal, safe pursuit tactics; a one-hour course on ensuring children are safe when their parents are arrested; and two hours in the classroom learning the latest strategies and case law on interacting with people who are experiencing a mental health crisis.

Every year, officers must re-qualify with their firearms, take a one-hour refresher on investigating domestic violence crimes and spend two hours in the classroom taking an “accredited legal update training to include changes in New Mexico state statutes and recent state and federal case law,” according to New Mexico statute.

I think if you don’t have training on the Fourth Amendment implications of legalization, for sure there is a risk that there’s going to be needless sort of violations of people’s rights from police.

-Alex Kreit, director of Northern Kentucky University’s Center on Addiction Law and Policy

And yet, Padilla says briefings in the squad room will suffice for his officers— despite the massive shift in state law surrounding cannabis possession.

Some criminal justice reform advocates and legal experts say the more casual briefings—which, according to Padilla, can last from 15 minutes to an hour—aren’t enough.

“As advocates, we hope that all police departments across the state are adequately training law enforcement on the

NEWS

new legislation. That training is going to vary from agency to agency,” Emily Kaltenbach, senior director for resident states and New Mexico for the Drug Policy Alliance, tells SFR. “In our opinion, there should be in-depth training as well as brief training.”

Alex Kreit, director of Northern Kentucky University’s Center on Addiction Law and Policy, tells SFR that insufficient training could lead to constitutional rights violations.

“I think if you don’t have training on the Fourth Amendment implications of legalization, for sure there is a risk that there’s going to be needless sort of violations of people’s rights from police who maybe don’t realize that what they’re doing, that was once OK to do or legal to do before, no longer is now,” Kreit says.

When first asked about what training has been done on probable cause, Padilla says: “Just ‘cause it’s legalized, I mean, you should be using it at your home,” adding that the law doesn’t allow people to smoke in public.

He goes on to say his department has a handful of top priorities, including auto burglary and domestic violence, and cannabis isn’t one of them.

“It’s a low, low priority, as it previously was, and now it’s legal, so we can move on,” Padilla says.

Santa Fe decriminalized cannabis in 2014, with a city ordinance that read: “It is the duty of the police department to make possession of one ounce or less of marijuana the lowest law enforcement priority.”

But that didn’t stop the police department from arresting people for possession of small amounts of cannabis in the years that followed.

Kreit says advocates hope cannabis legalization will help curb drug war policing that often brings rights violations with it.

As an example, he points to the New York Police Department’s infamous stopand-frisk policy, which allowed officers to stop, interrogate and search residents on the basis of “reasonable suspicion” and, as the Intercept recently reported, continues to disproportionately be used against Black people.

“With practices like stop-and-frisk in New York, it’s almost part and parcel of war-on-drugs policing that there’s a lot of constitutional violations occurring that are difficult to litigate or don’t get litigated as much as they should,” Kreit says.

“One of the arguable benefits of legalization is to hopefully reduce that sort of heavy-handed, drug-war type of policing that doesn’t give enough regard for people’s constitutional rights.”

AVANGRID: A History of Giving

Since 2002, the Avangrid Foundation and its predecessors have invested more than $28 million in partnerships that focus on building sustainable, vital and healthy communities; preserving cultural and artistic heritage; advancing education; and improving people’s lives.

AVANGRID and the Avangrid Foundation gave $2.5 million to the COVID-19 response and recovery efforts at the national, state and local levels. We also donated 31,000 protective masks to hospitals in the areas where we operate. We continue to work with our regulators and community partners to find ways to ease the impact of the pandemic, particularly for our most vulnerable customers.

Earlier this year, the Avangrid Foundation and AVANGRID employees donated $150,000 for Texas Disaster Relief, following the severe weather that struck in February.

In 2019, the Avangrid Foundation launched the “#AVANgives” initiative. For the past three years, the Foundation has asked employees to nominate a non-profit to receive a $5,000 grant. More than 30 non-profits have received much-needed dollars with our employees taking a direct role in supporting our communities. The program has awarded over $150,000 to support local grassroots organizations.

As part of the merger with PNM, AVANGRID has committed to continue supporting communities and non-profit organizations at the same or greater level as PNM.

We look forward to making a difference in New Mexico.

We the Secret In SFR’s lawsuit against Santa Fe officials, cop union joins city in push to keep officer discipline under wraps

BY J E F F P RO CTO R j e f f p r o c t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

A N SO N ST EV EN SBO LL EN

he Santa Fe Police Officers Association would prefer you didn’t know about members’ on-duty misconduct.

Why? For one, publicity of punishment for a policy violation—be it a letter of reprimand, a 40-hour unpaid suspension or, in the rare case, termination—could keep city cops from landing a job at another department.

And another thing: Everyday folks learning that a cop has been in trouble at work would violate the US Constitution by depriving those in blue of a due process hearing (though it’s not clear how, even in the union’s view).

For years, SFR has sought the association’s perspective on whether officer discipline should be public record; for years, we’ve heard a faint chirping sound.

The union’s take comes from a June 17 legal brief arguing that SFR’s ongoing lawsuit against the City of Santa Fe and former police records custodian Greg Gurule seeking to force cop discipline into the sunlight should be bounced out of court.

In short, the union has adopted the city’s long-held position: The fact that a police officer—or any other municipal employee—has been disciplined is not a fact but, rather, a “matter of opinion” that can be kept from public view under an exception in the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA).

The local chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) also has filed a brief in support of the city’s secrecy policy.

SFR disagrees. After Gurule denied our IPRA request for four officers’ disciplinary records in 2019, the newspaper sued the city, arguing a suspension or a firing is a fact, not an opinion. In October, First Judicial District Judge

Bryan Biedscheid issued a mixed-bag ruling, giving SFR and the city each a partial victory.

There’s been some appealin’ since then—and lots of legal papers flyin’.

The case is now in the state Court of Appeals. The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, along with a couple other newspapers and TV stations, have thrown in with SFR in an amicus brief; the two city unions filed briefs supporting Mayor Alan Webber’s secrecy policy.

After briefing ends in mid-August, a panel of appellate judges will decide whether to schedule oral arguments and, either way, they’ll issue an order.

No dates have been set for all that yet.

However the dice tumble, there’s likely to be more appealin’, next to the New Mexico Supreme Court. And it could be years before the court rules on the key question: Should residents get to know when the government they pay for has disciplined an employee—including police, America’s most visible expression of state power?

SFR has for years pushed for transparency, exposing the city’s aversion to it in a 2017 cover story and pressing the issue in numerous follow-up stories.

In litigation, SFR’s legal team of Daniel Yohalem and Katherine Murray have argued the Legislature never intended to shield public employees’ discipline records when it crafted IPRA in the 1970s or in subsequent major amendments to IPRA. The state’s appellate courts have erred through the years, SFR argues, in cases that expanded the definition of “matters of opinion” to include the fact of discipline. Our newspaper wants the Appeals Court to follow the law, not those cases.

The city, however, wants to stick to the higher courts’ previous holdings, Assistant City Attorney Marcos Martinez writes, no matter how overbroad and in conflict with IPRA they may be.

But Martinez goes a step further.

Who could know, he muses in a June

10 reply brief, the difference between fact and opinion when sorting what should be released and what shouldn’t? In any case, it is wrong, unlawful and burdensome for SFR “to require record custodians to solve this epistemological riddle.”

SFR’s “position is unreasonable because the distinction between fact and opinion rests on a false distinction, impractical because no record custodian could implement it, and unfair because [SFR] wants to punish local public bodies that do not understand fact versus opinion as [SFR] does,” Martinez continues.

But is it really so hard to separate fact from opinion?

Longtime cop attorney Fred Mowrer penned the officers’ association’s supporting brief just two weeks before the union reached a contract agreement with the Webber administration that included raises for patrol officers, detectives and sergeants ranging from 1.2% to 6%—plus bonuses for lateral hires to SFPD from

NEWS

other departments and, thus, more union dues.

In his argument for continued secrecy, Mowrer notes the officers whose disciplinary records SFR sought in the underlying public records request are union members. But he makes no mention of officers who may be exonerated in the department’s Internal Affairs process; the city doesn’t release those records, either.

Should the Appeals Court rule in SFR’s favor, Mowrer cautions, our newspaper is “likely to target the disciplinary records of SFPOA’s members again in the future.”

(Narrator intones: SFR will continue doing so regardless of how this case turns out.)

Mowrer restates the city’s contention about the previous case law, imploring the Appeals Court to follow his interpretation of it, then moves on to his constitutional arguments.

Disclosure of discipline could prevent officers “from getting an additional law enforcement position in the future,” he writes.

New Mexico cops often catch serious discipline at one department, then, because their punishment is a secret, land at another, unsuspecting law enforcement agency, where they again engage in misconduct leading to constitutional rights violations and expensive lawsuits. The issue has long bedeviled the state; at least three New Mexico attorneys general and numerous other officials have decried the phenomenon.

Mowrer also complains that “employees have a due process right to a hearing to clear their name if their reputations have been impugned,” and they wouldn’t get such a hearing if their discipline was made public.

Presumably, officers and other public employees are afforded a chance through the city’s disciplinary process to rebut investigators’ findings and achieve a lesser punishment or none at all. SFR wouldn’t know—because the city refuses to disclose anything about its disciplinary and punishment systems.

Stephen Curtice of the Youtz and Valdez law firm writes in support of the city on behalf of AFSCME that discipline secrecy “has become the settled expectation of public employers, public employees and the labor unions such as AFSCME representing those public employees.”

The Appeals Court and, likely the Supreme Court thereafter, will get the final say in whether the government and its employees should continue to expect the same.

iven recent events, it seems wise for futurists of all types to lose the word “disruption” from their vocabularies. I’m pretty sure we’ve all had our fill of disruption—at least for a little while.

Fab Lab Hub and New Collar Network founder Sarah Boisvert leans more toward words like innovation, creativity and education, all three of which will come into play for the New Collar Innovation Center, opening next week at the Higher Education Center, a collaboration between Boisvert’s organizations and Santa Fe Community College.

Pandemic disruption spurred the initiative to a degree. Fab Lab had already been offering courses and digital badge certifications through SFCC’s continuing education programs. But as use declined at the HEC—with the University of New Mexico and Northern New Mexico College no longer using the building—SFCC President Becky Rowley and the college’s executive committee began discussing what its future might look like.

Those discussions turned toward the idea of expanding Boisvert’s program into the HEC and “creating something bigger than just a few classes,” Boisvert says, “and having something that could innovate education, innovate workforce training and also foster entrepreneurship for the kinds of companies that create these new collar jobs.”

New-collar jobs, as Boisvert discusses extensively in her book The New Collar Workforce, are ones that utilize new technologies and skills—think 3D cutters, computer numerical control machines, laser cutters—and require a workforce not just trained in current tools but trained to be adaptive.

Boisvert and her team have been in the building since last July, setting

3D printed parts (limited capacity; register in advance).

Throughout the week (find the full schedule at tinyurl.com/ newcollaropening), attendees will be able to check out a range of equipment, some of it courtesy of a mobile fab lab rodeo from Forest CNC in Phoenix, Arizona, along with tours and myriad demos (including a mini-quadcopter, short-range broadband and augmented reality, via the RealityX2 app, which was created in Santa Fe).

The opening events also will feature discussions on a variety of topics, such as bridging the wealth gap with new collar jobs; integrating 3D printing into curriculum; and an overview of the state’s broadband initiatives. Boisvert will moderate a panel at 1 pm, Aug. 9 tackling the framework question of “Why is Innovation Important?” Says Boisvert: “I wanted to get a conversation going about why innovation is important and why it’s important for us to think outside the box.

Think about those cavemen: If some guy or woman hadn’t innovated and made fire, where would we be?”

Panelists will include former Meow Wolf CEO Vince Kadlubek; NM Manufacturing Extension Partnership CEO Jennifer Sinsabaugh; and John Rizzo, who is behind two undertakings: the Santa Fe Innovation Village and the New Mexico Innovation Triangle.

Sinsabaugh says the new center’s undertakings perfectly dovetail with her industry’s needs. New Mexico may not have the type of manufacturing reputation as, for example, Detroit, but it has both established industries (think Intel) along with smaller but fast-growing sectors, such as food and beverage manufactur-

TECH

ers. “The rest of the world is loving our tortillas and our salsa,” she notes.

Sinsabaugh says NM MEP is very focused right now on “introducing and getting manufacturers to [adopt] advanced manufacturing technologies,” such as additive manufacturing, automation and robotics, in order to help increase productivity and capacity. But once they adopt those technologies, she notes, “they need the workforce to support it.” That could mean a new generation of workers, but also up-skilling existing workers.

For Rizzo, training people for “new economy jobs” will help address what he characterizes as the “high level” problem of the state’s stagnant population growth, which fuels its economic challenges.

Federal and state data released last April showed both more people moving out of the state coupled with declining birth rates, leaving New Mexico’s population growth lower than the US average and that of surrounding states. Rizzo’s New Mexico Innovation Triangle strategy aims to create 25,000 jobs in innovative industries and “add another economic pillar” to the state’s focus on oil and gas; film; government; and tourism. A trained workforce will make it easier to attract technology companies to the state, but also accommodate a post-pandemic workforce where people don’t necessarily live where they work (Rizzo’s sister, for example, lives in Chama and works at Twitter).

The triangle would involve innovation “villages” in Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Los Alamos: hubs with live/work amenities. The Santa Fe undertaking— the Santa Fe Innovation Village—would be built on 140 Southside acres between Beckner Road and Interstate 25 and will need to traverse the city’s public participation/development process before anything else happens.

Rizzo knows it’s a big swing, but says after 35 years in Silicon Valley, he’s adopted its cultural idea of “if you’re not failing, you’re not trying hard enough.”

He returned to New Mexico—where he spent some time 50 years ago—convinced there’s a path forward to “preserve the benefits of this wonderful place and grow intelligently and thoughtfully.”

And maybe he’ll “crash and burn,” (his words, not mine), but Rizzo says he believes it’s possible to do work you enjoy and contribute to the community. How’s that for an innovative idea?

Toxic Threat THE MILITARY POLLUTED NEW MEXICO WATERS AND SOILS WITH PFAS AND IS FIGHTING AGAINST CLEANUP OF THE “FOREVER PROBLEM”

B Y L A U R A PA S K U S @LauraPaskus

I

n the early to mid-1990s, Air Force firefighter Kevin Ferrara was stationed at Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis, New Mexico.

It was his first deployment after training at Chanute Air Force Base in Illinois.

The life of an Air Force firefighter is similar to a municipal firefighter, he says. They ignite jet fuel in training pits and extinguish the fires. Sometimes, an airplane crashes. And every day, firefighters check their equipment, testing trucks and spraying foam, making sure no gremlins gum things up in an emergency.

“There were some incidents where we sprayed foam out for fire prevention visits, and young kids played in it because they thought it was cool, it looked like snow,” he says. Now retired, Ferrara says he unquestioningly believed leadership—during his training and deployments—when they compared that firefighting foam to “soap and water.”

Today, we know the foam contained toxic chemicals responsible for polluting the water around hundreds of military bases nationwide, including Cannon and Holloman Air Force bases in New Mexico.

And the toxic chemicals are present in the drinking water of millions of Americans.

“We never imagined that foam was toxic,” Ferrara says today from his home in Pennsylvania, where he is an outspoken critic of the military’s response to the pollution. “We were just assuming those who told us these things knew what they were talking about.”

Over the years, Ferrara has learned that the military knew Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) was dangerous— and so did the companies that manufactured it. But without federal regulations that set drinking water standards or hazardous waste limits, states like New Mexico still can’t hold the Pentagon accountable for the pollution that has crept from the bases into the wells of local residents and businesses. Meanwhile, military firefighters like Ferrara wonder what’s happening within their own bod-

ies—and the bodies of those whose water they polluted.

In the waning days of Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) was grappling with a problem. A “forever” problem, as it turns out.

Contractors hired by the military were investigating whether AFFF used at the state’s three Air Force bases had contaminated groundwater with PFAS. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are a family of thousands of human-made chemicals, exposure to which has been linked to myriad health problems.

Two types of PFAS in particular had been found in AFFF, which the US military had been using since the late 1970s.

The carbon-fluorine bonds unique to human-made PFAS are hard to break. That makes them great for all sorts of products like non-stick cookware, stain-proof fabric, dental floss and wrappers for greasy foods like pizza and hamburgers—and incredibly useful for firefighting foams needed to extinguish super-hot, petroleum-based fires.

In an August 2018 conference call, Air Force officials told state officials that PFAS had been found in wells at Cannon Air Force Base at concentrations above the US Environmental Protection Agency’s lifetime health advisory of 70 parts per trillion. Further studies showed the levels exceed 26,000 parts per trillion—more than 370 times that EPA health advisory—and that PFAS was also in off-base wells that supply homes and dairies in Clovis.

In October, NMED, the New Mexico Department of Health and the New Mexico Department of Agriculture publicly announced the presence of the contamination on and off the base. They advised private well-owners within a 4-mile radius of the base to use bottled water. NMED issued a notice of violation against the Air Force for breaking state regulations. The agency issued “corrective action permits” with cleanup mandates for the military’s state permits.

But in January 2019, just after Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham took office, the US Department of Defense sued New Mexico, challenging the state’s authority to mandate cleanup.

And although the state made no announcements nor issued any corrective actions, a report the Air Force submitted to NMED during the Martinez administration showed that groundwater samples of PFAS at Holloman Air Force Base were as high as 1.294 million parts per trillion. In February 2019, NMED issued a notice of violation against the Air Force over Holloman, too.

The following month, in March 2019, New Mexico filed its own lawsuit, asking a federal judge to compel the Air Force to act on, and pay for, cleanup at Cannon and Holloman.

But that hasn’t worked out as planned.

“We wanted action quickly. When that wasn’t available, or that wasn’t on the table, that’s when we litigated,” NMED Secretary James Kenney says in an interview.

The lawsuit has been lumped in with hundreds of other PFAS-related lawsuits.

One court in South Carolina now oversees all cases regarding PFAS and the military’s use of the AFFF—more than 750 separate actions.

Even though New Mexico has tried to extricate itself from the multidistrict litigation, hoping to pursue its case against the Air Force without being tied to those hundreds of other cases, a judge has denied that request. And in June, the Biden

administration’s Defense Department called New Mexico’s attempts to compel cleanup under state permits “arbitrary and capricious.”

In summary, three years after the Air Force notified New Mexico of the PFAS pollution, there are no clean-up plans in place at Cannon or Holloman, though earlier this year, Cannon announced an on-base pilot project to test the best ways to remove PFAS from water. And even though the military knows when, why and how the contamination happened, it has sued New Mexico to say the state can’t make it clean up the problem.

Meanwhile, state Environment Sec. Kenney says the EPA needs to set federal pollution standards for the toxic substances.

In 2016, the EPA established a lifetime health advisory for two types of PFAS found in firefighting foams, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS). But that advisory of 70 parts per trillion isn’t a regulatory limit.

That means states like New Mexico don’t have any legal tools to require that polluters like the military clean up PFAS. States need the federal government to treat PFAS as toxic chemicals, Kenney says. “We need a comprehensive way to tackle PFAS,” says Kenney, who recently testified in a congressional hearing, calling for the EPA to set a national drinking water standard and for the federal government to immediately list PFAS as hazardous waste under federal law. “[That way], we have a way to manage PFAS from the time it comes into the state to the time it’s disposed of and everything in between, so we’re not just finding it haphazardly and then having to deal with the public health impacts that way,” he says.

Without federal regulations and legal guidelines, the military won’t fall in line with what states like New Mexico are asking, in terms of cleanup—or even map where the pollution is and how it’s moving.

Not only did the Pentagon sue New Mexico for mandating cleanup, New Mexico tax-

payers are footing the bill for studies to see where the contamination from Cannon and Holloman has spread.

“I would hope that under the current federal administration, under all the movement by the US Environmental Protection Agency to acknowledge the risk of PFAS, that that message gets to the Department of Defense as well as the Department of Justice and they understand that New Mexicans should not have to fight to clean up contaminated groundwater,” Kenney says. “They are on the wrong side of this issue.”

For the four years that Ferrara was stationed at Cannon, he and his fellow firefighters sprayed foam every day, he says—thousands of gallons of it. Before he arrived, and after he left, military firefighters practiced those same exercises every day.

The toxic chemicals in that foam seeped into the soil and into the groundwater. People living around the base drank that water, and so did Art Schaap’s cows at Highland Dairy.

Since the Air Force told him his water was contaminated in 2018, Schaap says he has been pumping and dumping the milk.

He’s also suing the military, and hoping the US Department of Agriculture will figure out a way to buy his cows.

Earlier this year, Schaap said his biggest problem is figuring out what to do with the contaminated carcasses. He had a herd of 4,000 dairy cows—and said about 1,000 have died from old age.

Typically, dairy farmers can sell their aging cows to packing plants and beef operations. “I even contacted the people who buy dead animals and they didn’t want them in their recipes either,” he said.

“They make dog food out of those, they recycle dead animals…and they didn’t want them.”

Schaap bought the land for his dairy, just on the edge of the base, in 1992— the same time Ferrara was stationed at Cannon.

“For four years, I unknowingly contributed to all of that, and I do feel guilty, and I’m certain other firefighters that were there with me would share in

this,” Ferrara says. “Had we known then what we know today, there is no way we would deliberately spray AFFF firefighting foam into the soil and let it contaminate.”

Art Schaap (pictured at right) rolls through Highland Dairy in Clovis, where thousands of cows (and the milk they would give) have been contaminated by PFAS.

PFAS have been nicknamed “forever” chemicals because they don’t go away. We started making them in the 1930s.

And they’re here to stay.

The toxic s ubstances don’t break down easily. Their carbon-fluorine bonds, which make them so effective for household and industrial products, also mean that in the environment, water won’t break them down.

Nor will light or even microbes. Bury them and they’ll find their way into soil and water. Burn them and they’ll reenter the hydrological cycle via rain and snow.

PFAS love to move. They move in water and in our bodies. They cross the pla-

cental barrier and mothers pass them to their children when breastfeeding. PFAS also bioaccumulate, moving up the food chain. They can migrate into human bodies through milk from cows that drank contaminated water, for example, or fish or a duck harvested from waters containing PFAS.

Chemicals within the PFAS family are found not only in firefighting foams—which contaminated Cannon and Holloman—but also in common household items. Pollution in Wisconsin, Michigan, New Jersey, California and North Carolina has been tied to the manufacture of these chemicals by companies like Tyco Fire Products, a subsidiary of Johnson Controls; 3M, DuPont, DECRA Roofing Systems and Chemours.

These chemicals are also sometimes called “emerging” toxins. That’s because regulations are still emerging—not because we don’t know they cause health problems.

Studies dating back to the late 1960s show links between PFAS contamination and liver and kidney disease as well as health problems related to reproduction, development and immune systems. Exposure to PFAS has also been tied to high cholesterol, low infant birth weights, thyroid hormone disruption and cancer, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and kidney, testicular, prostate and ovarian cancers.

And just in case you’re breathing a sigh of relief because you don’t drink water from below one of the hundreds of US Air Force bases contaminating water, a recent study showed that PFAS are present in the drinking water of more than 200 million Americans.

Again, that’s because these toxic substances love to move.

Here in New Mexico, we know they’re in the groundwater below Cannon and Holloman. They were found in about 10% of the wells that supply drinking water to Clovis and in Holloman Lakes, where migratory birds stop during their travels. PFAS are in soil and sediment samples at Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Technical Area 15

WHERE ARE US MILITARY PFAS LURKING? In 2007, the military started replacing PFOSbased AFFF at its European bases after the European Union banned the manufacture and use of certain products containing PFOS. Almost ten years later, the Air Force started replacing PFOS-based AFFF at US installations with PHOSCHEK 3%, a new formula that does contain “trace amounts” of PFOA. Initially, the Pentagon had a list of about 100 bases that might have polluted water with PFAS. By now, that list has grown to almost 800.

Today, the military is supposed to be investigating whether PFAS were stored at: • Fort Wingate • Army National Guard armories in Rio Rancho and Roswell • Army Aviation Support Facility in Santa Fe • White Sands Missile Range “The safety and well-being of our Airmen is a top priority, and we strive to find solutions and reduce risk wherever possible,” wrote Air Force spokesman Mark Kinkade. The Air Force used AFFF in “accordance with manufacturer instructions and consistent with known occupational risks at the time.” And, the Air Force has acted in accordance with the EPA’s lifetime health advisory, replaced AFFF to reduce exposure to PFOS and PFOA, and “implemented strict training and use guidelines for use of the new foam by our firefighters and emergency personnel.”

Toxic Threat

A US Air Force AC-130J Ghostrider gunship, assigned to the 27th Special Operations Group Detachment 2, taxis on the flightline July 19, 2021, at Cannon Air Force Base. Firefighting drills at the base contributed to PFAS pollution of the water and soil.

and within waters and sludge of the LANL Wastewater Treatment Plant. They’re found in the Gila River where it gushes (or trickles, depending on the time of year) out of the nation’s first officially designated wilderness area.

As New Mexico PBS reported in January, when the state and the US Geological Survey tested for PFAS around the state, the highest levels—153.2 parts per trillion of various PFAS combined— were found in the waters of the Rio Grande at Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge in Albuquerque’s South Valley. The Gila’s numbers came in second, at 52.6 parts per trillion.

The study also found PFAS in the Rio Puerco near Bernardo (30.2 ppt), the Rio Grande at El Paso (22.0 and 10.4 ppt), the Canadian River near Sanchez (15.9 ppt), the Rio Grande floodway at San Marcial (10.2 ppt), the Canadian below Conchas Dam (6.9 ppt), the Pecos River near Artesia (4.9 ppt), the Animas River in Farmington (3.1 ppt), the Rio Grande at Alameda (2.8 and 2.2 ppt), the San Juan River near Archuleta (2.7 ppt), the Rio Grande above the Buckman Diversion near Santa Fe (2.3 ppt), the Pecos River near Red Bluff (2.0 ppt), and the San Juan River near Fruitland (2.0 ppt).

Exposure to PFAS isn’t just a problem for firefighters like Ferrara or people like Schaap who live near a polluting base.

These persistent, movement-loving toxic substances are a reminder that we can’t always control the consequences of our ingenuity. PFAS are found in thousands of products we regularly use. And they will be found in the environment forever—long after we’ve forgotten about the need for pizza boxes, waterproof boots, and petroleum-extinguishing firefighting foams.

Meanwhile, Art Schaap is still waiting.

Waiting to hear if the federal government will buy his contaminated cows and carcasses. Waiting to see what happens with his lawsuit against the military and the manufacturers of the AFFF that contaminated the water he, his family, his cows, and his employees drank. And even though state officials and all but one member of the congressional delegation have been vocal in their support for action on PFAS, he’s also waiting for local officials to act.

“The local county guys and the city folks, they got their hands tied because Cannon Air Force Base is very big for our community. They’re huge, you know, they bring a lot of folks here, a lot of economic development,” Schaap says. “And I think the county and the city are worried that Cannon Air Force Base could leave if they put too much pressure on them.”

Schaap is also waiting to see if anyone will stop the pollution before it spreads even further.

“There’s other farms down the plume.

There’s other big businesses. One of the largest cheese plants in the United States is down the plume. You’ve got the community’s water supply down the plume.

You got another community, Portales’ water supply down the plume,” he says. “I mean it just doesn’t end. But we need to stop it here before it gets there so people are not affected.”

He wishes the Defense Department would sit down with him and others to talk about how to fix the problem. “They know they’re guilty,” he says. “They don’t want to be at fault. But they are at fault.

There’s nowhere else in this area that PFAS could have gotten into the ground.”

And for his part, Ferrara wishes the military would accept responsibility.

The local county guys and the city folks, they got their hands tied because Cannon Air Force Base is very big for our community.

-Art Schaap, Highland Dairy owner

“If the military would just come out and apologize and say, ‘We’re sorry for what happened but we’re going to work on this, we’re going to move forward,’ that would be a great start,” he says. “But they’re not doing it. It seems like that fence line that divides the military base and the community—even though it’s probably like an eight-foot-high fence, it might as well be a thousand-foot-high fence because it almost seems like that’s the barrier.”

He continues, “Whatever happens on base, that’s the military’s issue and they don’t believe anything outside that fence is their concern.”

Maybe Devon Gilfillian, master of soul, R&B and other Motown vibes, can give you the push needed to tolerate a 10-minute parking spot search. Sure, it’s a lower energy, but a quick listen to Gilfillian’s works proves he’s just as masterful as other headliners we’ve seen on the Plaza this year—and that explains why he’s been on late-night shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

ART SAT/7

Origins Local artists want to know where you’re from Artists Yvette Serrano and Hernan Gomez Chavez have been collaborating on the public art project Querencia since 2018, and though the pandemic recently slowed progress on the combination mobile home/art piece/interactive exhibit, curious Santa Feans can find it next at a special event at the Southside branch of the Santa Fe Public Library featuring state Poet Laureate Levi Romero and former Albuquerque Poet Laureates Jessica Helen Lopez and Manuel Gonazáles.

Funded in part through a grant from the Fullcrum Fund and Albuquerque nonprofit 516 Arts, Querencia (which roughly translates to “haunt”) examines Serrano and Gomez Chavez’s origins, but also becomes a talking point unto itself—the pursuit of understanding from where one comes. The small trailer is crafted with actual mobile home materials, and together, the artists lug it across town with an e-bike, setting up shop in various locations and interacting with the public through silkscreen workshops, video interview data gathering and more.

“It’s a reference to the homes we grew up in,” Serrano tells SFR of her time spent in Santa Fe trailer parks. “I don’t know if it’s a feeling, but it’s more than a physical space. Part of the project is having conversations with people about their homes, where they are now, where they came from; it’s speaking to a lot of different things, and it’s more than just the

public engagement—it’s commentary on all these things.”

Gomez Chavez says the locals who have interacted with Querencia were initially shy, assuming something was being sold from the trailer. Once visitors understand what’s happening, though, they’re generally excited to participate in conversations and silkscreen workshops.

That latter element finds visitors creating posters on which the words “Mi querencia es____” are printed—it’s up to them to fill in the blanks. Serrano also says she’ll soon host a kite-making workshop with the Museum of International Folk Art’s Kemely Gomez.

For now, however, the upcoming reading and exhibit will feature free paletas from Santa Fe’s Paletas Delicias and plenty of chances to learn more.

“Long term, this is a project that’s going to go on in the future,” Gomez Chavez tells SFR. “We’re envisioning maybe having interviews with folks and talking to people from Santa Fe and having that become sort of a record; an archive with photos from people who can talk to what it means to live in Santa Fe. This is going to take on different forms as we move forward.” (Alex De Vore) QUERENCIA Noon-3 pm Saturday, Aug. 7.

LEAH CANTOR

With Video Library Founder Lisa Harris

On August 9, 1981, Lisa Harris opened the door to the Video Library (839 Paseo de Peralta, 983-3321) for the first time. Now, days short of 40 years later, the business—which still rents VHS tapes—is the oldest video rental store in the country, and second oldest in the world. We spoke with Harris on the cusp of the milestone. (Campbell Lozuaway-McComsey) Are we seeing a smiliar indie film/curated experience thing as we have with vinyl?

That’s the perfect analogy. All of a sudden, people who weren’t even born yet find there’s a lot of titles on VHS that aren’t available on DVD. Especially in the ’80s indie horror genre, you’ve got to get into VHS. Same with a lot of foreign language films. The really interesting esoteric things fell by the wayside.

[Our clientele is] incredibly diverse.

We’ve had people who have been renting from us for well over 30 years, and then we have all this resurgence of new young filmo-philes, especially 20-something males who say, ‘I want to rent Aliens and I want to rent it on VHS.’ It’s become very hip and trendy again. It’s the ‘Oh, boy!’ experience for the people who are just re-finding VHS. VHS quality doesn’t stack up at all. You can tell that it was on tape, but that’s what probably helps give it its retro feel. Disc is always going to have more clarity. The other just has a nostalgic feel, a homey experience in its own strange way.

Is renting VHS a ritual-like experience?

It’s not just VHS, any video is becoming considered nostalgic in the world of streaming. Santa Fe is lucky to have bookstores, and quite a few vinyl stores, but as a general rule, places like this don’t exist anymore. It’s just not the same experience to cruise through a list online rather than to stand in front of a rack. The best music, the best books, the best movies I’ve ever found, I was standing next to a stranger who said,

‘Oh, if you like that you’re going to love this,’ and they’d be right and you would have never heard of it.

So much of it is the interpersonal experience of coming in and looking at this stuff and seeing things that it didn’t even occur to you to ask for because you didn’t even know it existed to ask for it. How do you know what is going to pique your interest, if you don’t know what all is out there? You have to be able to see it.

And believe me, we don’t want this to be a non-tangible world. You want to be able to still hold on to something. That way, nobody can take it. But it’s also...there’s just something about holding it in your hand and reading about it, and discussing it with people. It’s a very different experience. I have people talk about how they spent 45 minutes looking online to find something, and by the time they found something they might want to see, they decided they don’t have time to watch anything anymore. So, they come to see me and I know exactly what they’ll like.

So much for me is getting to have the human interaction and talk with everybody.

I’m kind of their video therapist, and it’s like, ‘What’s going on?’ and then I can find them the right new movies to help get them through their evening. People trust me enough to say, ‘You know what I like—give me three.’

You work even harder because you would hate to disappoint. It’s family after all this time. I have people that have been coming to me, like their mother walked in while she was pregnant. I went through the birth, the kid’s growing up; now the kids have grown up, they’ve gotten married and are coming in with their kids. And then I also have people brand-new who say, ‘I just moved to town and I couldn’t believe how lucky I was that there was still a video store.’

We were the first video store [film critic] Leonard Maltin ever walked into, and he was sitting there, holding the VHS cassette of Casablanca going, ‘I cannot believe I’m just holding Casablanca.’

How close to your romantic ideal has it been to run this store for a career?

Nobody, truly nobody, was more surprised than me. If you had told me in my 20s that I was going to do this my entire adult life, I would have looked at you like you had just cursed me. And yet, for the last 10 years, the world has shifted. After having done it for my entire adult life, I have fought to keep things going in the ever-shifting world of streaming to pandemic to everything else.

To me the fantasy almost seems like 100%. And the reality is probably 80%, because my husband’s doing all the stuff behind the scenes and I get to do all the yapping up front. I get to have all the fun where I’m talking to everybody all the time.

Exultant Remorse

OPERA

SFRE PORTE R.COM / ARTS/OPE RA

Who knew unrequited love could be so much fun?

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

T

he storyline for Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin revolves around the losses of love and life, and thematically centers on regret and nostalgia, but the Santa Fe Opera’s production is anything but wistful. Rather, a soaring orchestra and beautiful singing, combined with breathtaking sets and costumes, coalesces into a thrilling and often propulsive show.

Tchaikovsky based the opera on Alexander Pushkin’s novel-in-verse, published serially starting in 1825 and as a stand-alone work in 1833. The plot, at least at its outset, will feel familiar to anyone who has ever read a Jane Austen novel. Two teenage sisters, Olga (contralto Avery Amereau in her SFO debut) and Tatyana Larin (soprano and 2007 Santa Fe Opera apprentice singer Sara Jakubiak) grapple with their romantic feelings for the friendly affectionate Vladimir Lensky (tenor Dovlet Nurgeldiyev, also in his SFO debut) and the stuffy and reserved Eugene Onegin (Grammy-award winning baritone Lucas Meachem, who last performed at the Santa Fe Opera for 2009’s Don Giovanni). The opera opens with the sisters at their estate in the Russian countryside, a setting brought to life by an opened back wall displaying a golden hill and, of course, New Mexico’s actual night-sky horizon (this opening tableau, like the rest of the opera, owes much of its impact to lighting designer Rick Fisher).

Amereau perfectly captures Olga as a flirtatious young girl, happy to play with her fiancé Lensky’s over-bearing affections. But Tatyana, more dreamy and bookish than her sister, immediately falls for Onegin and pours her heart into a letter to him declaring her feelings. Onegin, in turn, rejects her and advises her to guard her feelings more

carefully lest others take advantage of her openness.

In Act 2, the four attend a party for Tatyana’s name-day, at which Onegin—who jadedly finds parties tedious—dances with Olga, prompting an argument between Lensky and Olga, as well as between Lensky and Onegin.

The two friends end up in a duel neither wants and Onegin shoots and kills Lensky. In the third act, years have passed and Onegin attends yet another party, this time at the home of Prince Gremin (bass James Creswell in a terrific SFO debut), who turns out to be Tatyana’s husband. Now, it is Onegin who pours out his feelings: regret and love—for Tatyana. But she tells him that, despite her continued love for him, she will not betray her husband.

Jakubiak mesmerizes in Tatyana’s letter scene, alternatively poignant, heartbreaking and passionate, matched at every moment by conductor Nicholas Carter’s orchestra. Meachem portrays Onegin as commanding and conflicted, a captivating performance that brings depth to a character who might not otherwise prompt much sympathy. Jakubiak and Meachem replaced married couple/singers Nicole Car and Etienne Dupuis, two of this season’s international performers unable to attend due to visa restrictions. These late substitutions for the two major

roles seemed (upon announcement) as though they might be problematic, but were forgotten from the moment the performances began as Jakubiak and Meachem had such a strong palpable connection on stage.

Vocal and acting synergy, however, was pronounced in several of the duets and quartets, such as the first act’s music of remembered love sung between the daughters and mezzo-sopranos Katharine Goeldner (their mother Larina) Deborah Nansteel (their nanny Filipyevna), as well as Meachem and Nurgeldiyev’s tender duet prior to their fatal duel.

While the facts of the plot remain simple, several aspects of this production directed by Alessandro Talevi (in his SFO debut) capture both its lyrical subtext and perhaps some of the societal critique from Pushkin’s original work. A marked one is the placement of the opera’s chorus to the left side of the audience. The singers, dressed in black—all masked á la COVID-19—fill the opera house with their voices (under the direction of chorus master Susanne Sheston), but onstage, silent dancers, choreographed by Athol Farmer in his SFO debut, embody their songs. These dancers, some of them Wise Fool New Mexico performers, don masks—fencing masks, skeleton faces, antlers— blurring the lines between reality and

fantasy; past and present; consciousness and dreams. Scenic and costume designer Gary McCann’s work make this show a must-see. The peasants in the opening scene wear what look like up-cycled farm clothes and accoutrement. In the ball scenes, party goers display elaborate bedazzled gowns, bejeweled skull faces: greens, golds and rubies—glittering and ominous. These visual representations capture the fundamental themes of Pushkin’s lyric novel and their enduring relatability, while imbuing them with a contemporary aesthetic.

Eugene Onegin premiered in 1879 at the Maly Theatre in Moscow and was first performed by the Santa Fe Opera in 1978, which means it’s impossible to spoil the ending: Onegin submerses in a despair of his own making. But in this rendition, he does not go out with a whimper—leaving the audience with the same heady excitement that propels the entire production.

Moonstruck SFO’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ delivers cosmological magic

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

P

CURTIS BROWN FOR THE SANTA FE OPERA, 2021

article physics will likely not be top of mind for most viewers of the Santa Fe Opera’s premiere of Benjamin Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, based, of course, on Shakespeare’s play.

In one of the opera’s many supplementary programs to this season, however, physicist Steven Goldfarb suggests Shakespeare may have been prescient in his understanding of what would come to be known in the 20th century as quantum field theory, which describes the interaction between two separate physical systems.

Putting aside Einstein’s theory of special relativity, Heisenberg’s quantum uncertainty principle and the Higgs boson (although Goldfarb mentions all convincingly in SFO’s “Another Look”

series), Director Netia Jones’ production does not shy away from tackling the mysteries of the universe.

Jones, making her SFO debut, also is the scenic, costume and projection designer, and spoke in the opera’s “Consider the Source” series about her site-specific approach to the opera. That meant grounding the design and perspective in New Mexico’s landscape, where she found the “counterpoint” between the scientific and the artistic resonated with the themes explored in the play and the opera.

First, the story. Or stories, to be more precise Three distinct groups, each with signature orchestral styles (a treat from start to finish from conductor Harry Bicket), find their way into the forest on a midsummer night where the moon and other forces conspire to create magic and mayhem.

King and Queen of the Fairies Oberon (countertenor Iestyn Davies in his SFO debut) and Tytania (soprano Erin Morley) are in conflict over the fate of a changeling Tytania wants to keep.

Oberon enlists the sprite Puck (actor and choreographer Reed Luplau in a spoken role he plays winsomely) to use the juice of a magical and rare flower to enchant Tytania into believing she loves the first person (or creature) she sees upon awakening. Davies’ falsetto and Morley’s coloratura soprano voices perfectly capture the otherworldly dimension of the fairy world, trilling from the eerie and ominous to the childlike and innocent.

Members of the Athenian royalty follow, dressed in an approximation of school uniforms to represent the more ordered world from which they come.

Hermia (mezzo-soprano Adanya Dunn) and Lysander (tenor Duke Kim) have run away from Hermia’s father, who wants her to marry Demetrius (baritone Michael J. Hawk). He in turn is pursued

by Helena (soprano Teresa Perrotta). All four young lovers are also SFO apprentices this season and, though occasionally drowned out singularly by the orchestra, sing wonderfully together, particularly in their Act 3 quartet.

Finally, the third group—called mechanicals by Shakespeare and rustics

by Britten, essentially artisans—meet to rehearse a play they hope to perform when Duke Theseus of Athens weds Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons.

One of them, Peter Quince (bass Kevin Burdette) casts Nick Bottom (a terrific bass-baritone Nicholas Brownlee in his

OPERA

SFO debut, replacing British baritone Ashley Riches, who was unable to travel due to international travel restrictions) to play Pyramus and Francis Flute (the very funny tenor Brenton Ryan) to play Pryamus’ lady Thisbe (aka ill-fated lovers from Ovid). The first act ends with Puck mistaking Lysander for Demetrius, sprinkling him with magical juice, so when Helena, in pursuit of Demetrius, awakens Lysander, he immediately believes he is in love with her. Oberon, in turn, drops the juice onto Tytania’s eyes, and when she awakens in Act 2, she falls in love with Bottom, who has been transformed by Puck into an ass.

The night that ensues, accordingly, fills with confusion as the lines between reality and unreality/night and day/sleep and wake becoming increasingly blurry.

A large reflective orb (think moon) casts changing images onto the stage, projections that range from the verdant to the floral, from star-charts to ink splatters, at times infusing the entire show with the quality of a Rorschach test gone awry.

The stage itself includes a tree-filled piano and telescopes, as well as numerous openings in the stage from which the fairies sometimes emerge.

Jones set out to privilege the sky and the moon as a major force in the production, citing cosmology as another overlapping feature between New Mexico and the play/opera. But she also wanted to integrate psychology (think Jung’s shadows) to provide multiple ways of considering the relationship between lightness and darkness, consciousness and the unconscious mind (and, yes, there appears to be some sort of analyst’s sofa on the stage).

Does one need to follow the intimations of Jungian psychology and Ptolemaic astronomy to enjoy this opera?

No, those can also be set aside along with particle physics (although if one wants to think of those topics, the opera provides a heady experience). In truth, one does not even need to follow the plot to enjoy this show, which is filled with thrilling music, original visuals and a full stage of action throughout. As for that plot, as Lysander, aka Shakespeare notes, “the course of true love never did run smooth,” but, rest assured, all’s well that ends well.

One Man’s Trash Gonzalez’s most recent pieces are made from reclaimed materials, most often leftover items from construction sites. Some foremen hand over old pallets, scrap wood and scrap metal willingly, other materials Gonzalez finds in dumpsters and on curbs awaiting trash pickup. As the organic next step in his ever-evolving practice, the very materials themselves become both show and statement pieces. The pallet that makes up the “Shabby Math” floor would otherwise have made its way to a landfill long ago; some useless piece of perforated metal can be repurposed as part of a painting’s frame rather than a another discarded bit of refuse.

“There’s a whole slew of reasons: the... idea of recycling materials, not taking things for granted, using everything you’ve got—of seeing things anew,” Gonzalez tells SFR. “I’m turning it into something functional, but I’m also interested in the idea of non-function; a big pike in the center of a floor, or a chair, only it’s actually upside-down.”

Osiel “Ozzie” Gonzalez repurposes that which would otherwise be forgotten

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

ALEX DE VORE

’ve already rescheduled last-minute once on local artist Osiel “Ozzie” by the time I show up 10 minutes late to Santa Fe nonprofit Vital Spaces’ Southside location at the old outlet mall, and he’s crawled inside the small house he’s constructed as the centerpiece to his upcoming solo show on the Midtown Campus, Tendonitis. He calls the piece “Shabby Math,” an homage to the small house’s informal dimensions.

Gonzalez has held studio space in the former retail location for several months, and he tells me something-or-other about how he’s always been obsessed with architecture and woodworking, even going so far as to take woodworking classes at the Santa Fe Community College and spend free time poring over architecture books and YouTube tutorials. It shows, and though the house itself is spartan (four wood walls, some rebar and a couple glass windows), it oozes a certain high quality at first blush, even if it is imperfect. It is, in fact, imperfect on purpose—nearby, a similarly purposefully janky side table sits with screws protruding from its top; nobody’s going to use this table; nobody’s going to live inside “Shabby Math”—Gonzalez says he kind of hopes to just place it someplace outside after the show to let nature take it. Still, considering he built the thing out of discarded materials, there’d be worse places to seek shelter. And that’s kind of the point.

The son of first-generation CubanAmericans, Gonzalez moved to Santa Fe nearly two years ago after growing up in Miami, attending Emerson College in Boston for film and briefly traveling through Europe. His grandfather was a founder of the anti-Castro Alpha 66 paramilitary group, he says, and as Gonzalez is named for him, he’s feared returning to his parents’ homeland in case that name gets flagged. His grandfather now lives in America and still talks politics to this day.

His parents, he says, are “weird eccentrics with the spirit of artists.” ”I remember getting off the plane in Santa Fe, and I was just wearing a T-shirt.,” he recalls. “I didn’t know it was cold here, but...I grew to like it.”

Before he arrived, however, Gonzalez had already shifted his focus from filmmaking to painting.

“I’d kind of started painting in college, but I had this girlfriend at the time, and she gifted me canvases and a set of oil paints.

That opened me up.”

Over time, Gonzalez says, his paintings started expanding into the third dimension. Using

A&C

nails, wire and other assorted debris, the pieces started bursting out of their frames more and more until his practice shifted to the more sculptural. Using discarded materials came soon after.

“I like having limitations like that, because I’m an over-thinker and that can lead to over-working,” he tells SFR. “I like knowing I’m bound by the materials I have, because if the materials were never-ending, I think I would just explode or something; I don’t want to waste; I feel like the world is more fucked up that it’s ever been, and being an artist in the day of robots and AI, the human presence, something physically there, doing the thing yourself—being a human is almost becoming obsolete, COVID has exposed that, in a sense, and I feel an obligation to living life.”

This is where some of his classes in woodworking came in. Knowing he wanted to comment on waste and the idea of humans engaging with functional or non-functional pieces and spaces, he then learned to draft simple plans and “how to do stud framing, a window, door framing, a foundation...”

He points to a door resting against a temporary wall in his cluttered space and excitedly announces he’s recently learned to build them. He pulls an odd painting with a self-made frames from the rubble, then another with wires protruding from its face; then another; and another.

“I think about all the interesting stuff artists could do with this trash,” he says.

“For me, it helps.”

hen he was just a kid, Radish & Rye co-owner and Executive Chef Dru Ruebush commandeered his little sister’s Easy-Bake Oven to make brownies. A New Mexico native, Ruebush grew up visiting his grandfather’s farm in Deming, and someplace between that, the brownies and something intangible, he was pulled toward the culinary arts—though that first foray into food hardly signifies a linear path.

Sure, the “farm inspired cuisine” of Radish & Rye (505 Cerrillos Road, 505-930-5325) might seem like it would be the result of a life spent solely devoted to food, but Ruebush’s journey has been anything but simple: From New York foodservice jobs for which he was eminently unqualified to singing inside the vaulted ceilings of European cathedrals, Ruebush has performed, cooked or served his way across the years. And now, as his upscale restaurant/whiskey bar navigates the pandemic as one of Santa Fe’s most popular eateries, we sat down with Ruebush to find out how he made his way here.

You have to fill your own cup before you have anything to offer the world. Once you fill your own cup and it starts running over, you can share that with the world.”

It’s not selfishness that drives this ethos, it’s simply knowing he can’t help others if he’s not taking care of himself. Still, he’s not without a sense of humor.

“Anyone in the restaurant, from 18 to older than me,” he says, “I can beat anyone up those stairs.

Guaranteed.”

Which is saying something— Ruebush is in his 50s and, in another atypical move, didn’t make the transition to professional cooking until he was in his 40s— prior to that, he dreamed of becoming an opera singer.

In his teens he played trombone in his high school band and sang in church, but Ruebush didn’t sing seriously until joining his first choir when he was 22.

He fell in love so deeply that he later attended New Mexico State University in Las Cruces to study voice, and his choir group traveled to Europe for special performances in cathedrals.

work during slow times. And even though he was still refining his opera chops, the restaurant seed was planted.

Meanwhile, a voice teacher suggested Ruebush take acting lessons to aid his operatic performances. Turns out, he liked acting even more and, in 2002, moved to Silver City to try and open the Sol Center for Performing Arts nonprofit theater company. By 2007, following extensive renovations, the company still hadn’t opened its doors. It never would.

Ruebush sold the theater in ’07 and moved to Albuquerque, where he was hired at the Nob Hill Bar+Grill by his now-wife and Radish & Rye partner, Camille Bremer. By 2012, she had convinced him to move to Santa Fe, where the pair would work in local foodservice—all the while preparing to open a space of their own.

That space is Radish & Rye, a restaurant that has become a bit of a beloved institution since it opened in 2015. You’ll find an almost-daunting bourbon list at the restaurant, a wide gamut of signature cocktails and a concise food menu featuring hits like the grilled pork chop with yellow corn polenta and pickled fennel ($36) or a pan-seared fish with a salad of tomato and cucumber, herbed rice and lemon beurre blanc ($32; when there’s salmon, it’s among the best served anyplace). Point being, Ruebush has found a way to fill others’ cups and bellies, and you’ll find him cooking there most days.

Still, he says of his opera days, “I miss it a lot. There are moments. I find it hard to go. It’s quite painful.”

And while the reminder of old dreams can sting, there’s no need to worry on his behalf.

“There’s nothing I find more enjoyable than cooking,” Ruebush says.

After her excellent 2017 directorial debut Band Aid, writer/actor/director Zoe Lister-Jones took a bit of a misstep with last year’s The Craft: Legacy.

Not to worry, though, because Lister-Jones seems to have righted course, this time joining forces with her husband, the filmmaker Darryl Wein (White Rabbit), for How It Ends, a neo-Odyssey kind of thing wherein our heroine Liza (ListerJones) spends her last day on Earth trekking Los Angeles to right her wrongs, say her piece and, hopefully, attain some form of growth right under the wire.

Filmed in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, How It Ends upends the apocalypse genre by presenting a motley cast of characters, all seemingly at peace with the massive meteor barreling toward the planet. They know it’ll end all life around 2 am, but most folks go about their lives (with maybe a little more drug use), including Liza’s friend Mandy who announces she’s throwing an End of the World party that night.

Liza, meanwhile, plans to while away her last hours smoking weed and eating whatever, a plan derailed by the metaphysical representation of her younger self (Craft: Legacy alum Cailee Spaeny) who insists she attend the party, but only after they make peace with Liza’s mother and father (Helen Hunt and Bradely Whitford), an estranged best friend (Olivia Wilde), the ex who didn’t deserve her love (the always-glorious Larmone

ROADRUNNER: A FILM ABOUT ANTHONY BOURDAIN

+ AMAZING FOOTAGE; THE MESSAGE - ARGENTO STUFF

You’re probably gonna cry.

Not right away, mind you, and not simply because an interesting person you probably never met died, but because the conditions and implications of Anthony Bourdain’s death are complicated—and because filmmaker Morgan Neville (Won’t You Be My Neighbor) takes a look at the former chef, writer and TV star’s life and eventual suicide while it still feels recent and raw for those who knew him—and those who felt they did.

We get a clearer idea of the man than we ever had before. Bourdain never shied away from personal stories during his years hosting shows like No Reservations and Parts Unknown, but there’s something more intimate about the impressions of exes, longtime creative partners and friends. More than one calls Bourdain an asshole. More than one posits he must have been lonely. Those who can never sit still are often trying to outrun some sort of pain, the film hypothesizes. It finally caught up to Bourdain.

Still, we see it all, from the uncomfortable early days during which Bourdain learned to

Morris of New Girl and Woke fame)—and the one who did (Logan Marshall-Green). Along the way, Liza and her younger self meet a veritable cavalcade of neighborhood weirdos played from 6 feet apart by what must have been whatever actors weren’t busy that day: Paul Scheer, Colin Hanks, Charlie Day, Whitney Cummings, Sharon Van Etten, Marry Elizabeth Ellis, Rob Huebel, Ayo Edebiri, Fred Armisen, Glenn Howerton and others, all of whom seem to be operating on a higher plane of existence than usual—likely because of the impending death—all of whom are strangely calm and accepting of the meteor.

How It Ends is as simple as it gets, a film that leans into its words and messaging rather than flash. Most of the film’s poignant moments are doled out in walking scenes wherein Liza and her younger self reflect and bicker or dissect what it means when we forget our own value. “You don’t count,” Liza repeatedly tells herself. How often do we all have that thought when addressing ourselves? This makes for quality dramatic moments among the otherwise silly comedic ones; nihilism is laced throughout, though it’s hard to identify

tap into his non-food creativity to the all-encompassing way he’d fall in love. His message ultimately became about experiencing cultures and people, not solely foods, and the omnipresent subtext in all of Bourdain’s wheelings and dealings seemed to carry a simple message: You don’t have to be afraid. Perhaps he just wanted to believe that so badly himself and couldn’t; perhaps it’s as his circle says in the film, and it was really more about shining a light on people who needed help.

Pity, then, that those interviewed practically blame Bourdain’s suicide on his final partner, the actress Asia Argento. No one says those words, per se, but it’s all there and feels reductive. Bourdain was no saint, he’d be the first to say, and maybe making the film so soon after his death means clarity takes a hit. Either way, anyone who ever found themselves in an emotionally volatile relationship probably knows the feeling that if they didn’t let go of that person’s hand, you’d both drown; given Bourdain’s staunch support of #MeToo, he probably would have had something to say about the pseudo-accusations against Argento, too. She does not appear in the film.

But a cavalcade of others do, from David Chang and David Choe to ex-wife Ottavia Busia, longtime chef friend Eric Ripert and others. Their love is palpable, as is their frustration. The film,

the goings on so neatly as the moral, if there is one, feels like it’s more about how it’s important to care about the right things, even if we spend most of our time fretting over the wrong.

Lister-Jones and Spaeny are glorious together, perhaps from a connection formed while filming The Craft, but nonetheless a notable one. They eke out the most impressive performances in the film (though hats off to Charlie Day for a befuddlingly charming speech about losing one’s shoes), but how they play off the expanded cast feels the most meaningful.

How It Ends is thus the quirky kind of indie gold your film nerd friends are always raving about—a quiet and simple story told well with a handful of big laughs and a healthy dose of that cinematic something that sticks with us after, gently guiding us toward our own forms of contemplation and reflection. Just try to be nicer to yourself.

thus, winds up very good and very challenging, if flawed.

+ THE ANIMATION - IT EXISTS

We are begging you all to move on from your childhood nostalgia, because it’s exhausting to try and explain creative bankruptcy to the studio system’s more ardent defenders. It’s the cheapest form of capitalism; it is serving you dog food and calling it lobster.

Here that dog food is the new Space Jam movie, a copy-paste of the 1996 Michael Jordan-led film wherein a star basketball player (this time LeBron James) is sucked into an animated world alongside the Looney Tunes, whereupon he’s got to compete in a highstakes basketball game. Don Cheadle is perplexingly in this movie. Even Bugs Bunny could have done better.

Of course, easy cash-grabs like this will always exist. Space Jam: A New Legacy isn’t trying to be good, nor was the original Space Jam. I can accept that. But when films act only

as promotion for a studio’s content library—a reminder that HBO Max sure has some great programs in this case—I’m left in awe of the naked shamelessness.

Many readers will counter me: “Oh, come on. It’s just a kid’s movie!”

False. A New Legacy was not made for kids—it was made for late-20s/early-30s millennials who can’t find full-time work but, bafflingly, are still willing to shell out $15 to see a crappy “new” rendition of their childhood favorites. A New Legacy is stuffed with ’90s “nostalgia” for a reason. In no way are kids the target audience here, and to say otherwise is delusion. Every three minutes, you’ll be reminded the movie takes place in a “WarnerVerse” (not kidding), a sad attempt to remind you about everything the AT&T parent company has on its streaming service. It’s like Ready Player One for people who don’t bother with hobbies and we’re strangled with cameos from Harry Potter, The Iron Giant, Mad Max, the DC universe as well as perennial youth faves like Pennywise the Clown, Casablanca and even A Clockwork Orange—all for the kiddos!

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny

Week of August 4th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Filmmaker Federico Fellini had an unexpected definition of happiness. He said it was “being able to speak the truth without hurting anyone.” I suspect you will have abundant access to that kind of happiness in the coming weeks, Aries. I’ll go even further: You will have extra power to speak the truth in ways that heal and uplift people. My advice to you, therefore, is to celebrate and indulge your ability. Be bold in expressing the fullness of what’s interesting to you.

erating themselves from the smothering crush of their problems. The deep ones also have access to rich spiritual resources that ensure their suffering is a source of transformative teaching—and rarely a cause of defeat. Have you guessed that I’m describing you as you will be in the coming weeks?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Look for a long time at what pleases you, and longer still at what pains you,” wrote the novelist Colette. What?! Was she making a perverse joke? That’s wicked advice, and I hope you adopt it only on rare occasions. In fact, the exact opposite is the healthy way to live—especially for you in the coming weeks. Look at what pains you, yes. Don’t lose sight of what your problems and wounds are. But please, for the sake of your dreams, for the benefit of your spiritual and psychological health, look longer at what pleases you, energizes you, and inspires you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Professor of psychology Ethan Kross tells us there can be healthy, creative forms of envy. “Just as hunger tells us we need to eat,” he writes, “the feeling of envy could show us what is missing from our lives that really matters to us.” The trick is to not interpret envy as a negative emotion, but to see it as useful information that shows us what we want. In my astrological opinion, that’s a valuable practice for you to deploy in the coming days. So pay close attention to the twinges of envy that pop into your awareness. Harness that volatile stuff to motivate yourself as you make plans to get the very experience or reward you envy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Poet Walt Whitman bragged that he was “large.” He said, “I contain multitudes.” One critic compared him to “a whole continent GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you deepen your affecwith its waters, with its trees, with its animals.” tion for butterflies and hummingbirds, I will love it. If Responding to Whitman, Sagittarian poet Gertrud you decide you want the dragonfly or bumblebee or Kolmar uttered an equally grandiose boast. “I too am a lark to be your spirit creature, I will approve. You continent,” she wrote. “I contain mountains neveralmost always benefit from cultivating relationships reached, scrubland unpenetrated, pond bay, river-delwith swift, nimble, and lively influences—and that’s especially true these days. So give yourself full permis- ta, salt-licking coast-tongue.” That’s how I’m imagining you these days, dear Sagittarius: as unexplored territosion to experiment with the superpower of playful curiry: as frontier land teeming with undiscovered mysterosity. You’re most likely to thrive when you’re zipping ies. I love how expansive you are as you open your around in quest of zesty ripples and sprightly rhythms. mind and heart to new self-definitions. I love how CANCER (June 21-July 22): Life is showing you truths you’re willing to risk being unknowable for a while as about what you are not, what you don’t need, and what you wander out in the direction of the future. you shouldn’t strive for. That’s auspicious, although it CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Poet Ezra Pound wrote may initially feel unsettling. I urge you to welcome a letter to novelist James Joyce that included the followthese revelations with gratitude. They will help you ing passage: “You are fucking with my head, and so far tune in to the nuances of what it means to be radically I’ve been enjoying it. Where is the crime?” I bring this authentic.

I urge you to be inventive in dreaming up ways Munkhbaatar offers advice on the arts of intimate to educate and entertain each other. Seek frisky communion. “Do not fall in love only with a body or adventures together that will delight you. Here’s a with a face,” she tells us. “Do not fall in love with the poem by Vyacheslav Ivanov that I hope will stimulate idea of being in love.” She also wants you to know that you: “We are two flames in a midnight forest. We are it’s best for your long-term health and happiness if you two meteors that fly at night, a two-pointed arrow of don’t seek cozy involvement with a person who is one fate.

I approve of ering wings of one dream, two-voiced lips of single all these suggestions. Any others you would add? It’s a mysteries. We are two arms of a single cross.” favorable phase to get clearer about the qualities of VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo spiritual author Don Miguel Ruiz urges us not to take anything personally. He says that if someone treats us disrespectfully, it’s almost certainly because they are suffering from psychological wounds that make them act in vulgar, insensitive ways. Their attacks have little to do with what’s true about us. I agree with him, and will add this important caveat. Even if you refrain from taking such abuses personally, it doesn’t mean you should tolerate them. It doesn’t mean you should keep that person in your life or allow them to bully you in the future. I suspect these are important themes for you to contemplate right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “People who feel deeply, live deeply, and love deeply are destined to suffer deeply,” writes poet Juansen Dizon. To that romanticized, juvenile nonsense, I say: NO! WRONG! People who feel and live and love deeply are more emotionally intelligent than folks who live on the surface— and are therefore less fragile. The deep ones are likely to be psychologically adept; they have skills at lib-

people you want and don’t want as your allies.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I gave my readers homework, asking them to answer the question, “What is your favorite rule to break?” In response, Laura Grolla sent these thoughts: “My favorite rule to break is an unwritten one: that we must all stress and strive for excellence. I have come up with a stress-busting mantra, ‘It is OK to be OK.’ In my OKness, I have discovered the subtle frontier of contentment, which is vast and largely unexplored. OKness allows me not to compete for attention, but rather to pay attention to others. I love OKness for the humor and deep, renewing sleep it has generated. Best of all, OKness allows me to be happily aging rather than anxiously hot.” I bring this to your attention, Pisces, because I think the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to investigate and embody the relaxing mysteries of OKness.

Homework: Tell me what subtle or not-so-subtle victories you plan to accomplish by January 1, 2022.
