COVER STORY, JUNE 12:
“THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS”
SHHH!
The traffic “Blitz” in May resulted in only seven citations for “mufflers” out of over 500 citations—very sad given the misery these violators cause.
The recent SF Reporter cover story included a photo of a resident with the caption that he is annoyed by three loud cars per day. Our location at south Cerrillos averages three per HOUR. We commonly count 9-10 during each of the commute times.
Given insufficient resources to enforce the loud car ordinance, the ultimate solution is sound cameras that can issue citations like speed cameras.
Until they are in force (we have to be optimistic), there are more immediate ways to mitigate the problem:
• dummy patrol cars stationed at frequent violation sites. We can confirm that when the occasional patrol car stations across from Rudy’s on Cerrillos, the violator noise significantly reduces. It’s the only time we can open doors and windows.
• completion of speed bumps on Governor Miles Road to Cerrillos and add them to Jaguar and other sites (We can’t stand them either, but the super loud car noise is worse).
• reduce the speed limit from 45mph to 40mph (35mph would be better).

NEWS, JUNE 19: “FLYING START”
FLIGHTS OF FANCY
Ain’t it great that we have a newly gussied-up airport in Santa Fe to serve the tourists, the politicos and the well-heeled travelers of Santa Fe! But, let’s remember that the airport also creates added
NOISE and pollution for residents of our county. And while services and other facilities intended to serve residents in the city have declined, we can celebrate the marvelous airport…and, oh yes, all the money the airport will generate. Indeed, the city scrubbed from its website all vestiges of the voluntary noise abatement ordinance as well as the noise complaint phone number. It seems like “out of sight” = no problem. Unfortunately, our home is directly impacted every day and all day by flyovers of commercial airline flights, private and national guard helicopters, private small planes and jets and Jet Warbird jets; many burning fossil fuel to recreate. If we’re bothered by the noise, I suppose we should move…but alas, we can’t afford real estate in Santa Fe. Many of those beloved tourists enjoyed Santa Fe so much, they bought a second home here. Now we’re stuck, destined to suffer airport noise pollution all day and every day.

MORNING WORD, JUNE 18:
“FOREST ADVOCATES QUESTION INDIOS FIRE NARRATIVE”
FIRE CLARIFICATION
Regarding the post on the SF Reporter’s 6/18 Morning Word, “Forest advocates question Indios Fire narrative,” I didn’t “allege the US Forest Service concealed that much of the fire was caused by the agency’s own ‘intentional aerial and ground ignitions.”
I did state that the agency didn’t communicate clearly to the public that they were substantially expanding the fire for “resource management objectives.” Such intentional burning should be done only after an environmental analysis process.
The response from the Forest Service in The Reporter’s post stated that their primary objective for expanding the fire was for firefighter and public safety. It’s very hard to understand planning to manage a 688-acre wildfire so it potentially expands up to 18,218 acres, as the Forest Service did in this operation, to increase safety.
My article calls for a national review of wildfire management strategies that intentionally greatly expand wildfires for the purpose of attempting to reduce future fire risk and to promote forest health. It’s dangerous and can cause severe collateral damage. I think we have all learned how risky intentional fire can be from the three Santa Fe National Forest wildfires of 2022, caused by escaped Forest Service prescribed burns.

Testing the Waters
Unannounced drilling at former radioactive Eberline plant raises concerns from Southside neighbors
BY EVAN CHANDLER evan@sfreporter.com
New drilling at a former radiation detection equipment on Airport Road has nearby residents calling for more transparency due to safety concerns.
Sarah Stevenson, an attorney for ThermoFisher, tells SFR at present three wells are being drilled and installed to test water quality—a step in the process to decommission the former Eberline facility.
Ellen Stone, who lives within viewing distance of the site near South Meadows Road, tells SFR she saw the drilling but didn’t know its purpose. She adds she didn’t know anything about Eberline when she first moved into the surrounding neighborhood in 2020.
“The lack of information is kind of wild…I feel as though they should have been informing us,” Stone says. “I would have appreciated knowing what they were doing rather than seeing it at a stoplight. It shouldn’t be so hard to learn about a potentially dangerous situation so close to my home.”
The facility, which opened in 1953 as the Eberline Instrument Company, has been a source of concern for surrounding residents for years. Thermo Electron Corporation, which eventually combined with Fisher Scientific, purchased the company in 1979. Manufacturing ceased in 2007, the same year officials discovered ThermoFisher had failed to maintain adequate records of radioactive material moving in and out of the plant.
Since then, the owners have attempted to decommission the property in order to sell it on multiple occasions. SFR reported in 2020
ThermoFisher is drilling three wells to test water quality on the site—a step in the newest attempt to decommission the property.
that the state expected Thermo to demolish the building by October of that year, for example.
Stone only found out about contamination concerns, however, during a public meeting for developer Homewise’s Los Prados project—a 161-unit subdivision approved last year by the Santa Fe City Council. The land for the housing—which had previously been approved for the county’s open space program before being sold to Homewise—sits right next to the site.
As such, Homewise commissioned a radiological survey from environmental consulting company NV5 in December 2021, which resulted in a January 2022 report claiming the levels of radiation on the property were the “same as ambient environmental levels present in the rest of the community surveyed.” However, some residents disputed the findings, including a former geologist from the state’s Environment Department.
In response to ongoing concerns, Homewise Chief External Affairs Officer Johanna Gilligan tells SFR the organization takes safety “very seriously” in its work and trusts the consultant.
“We are a mission-based nonprofit, so if we had any concerns, we would not be proceeding,” Gilligan says. “The experts we’ve hired have indicated that it’s totally safe.”
Homewise anticipates the project will go before the Planning Commission this fall for preliminary plat approval.
Stevenson disputes allegations the com-
residents can get information “directly from the source.”
Stevenson also notes the Radiation Control Bureau’s regulations require a public meeting after the decommission plan is submitted.
As for that timeline, Stevenson says the site owners expect work to be completed this month, with water sampling results slated to come back from a lab in September. She adds ThermoFisher expects the tests will show no impact to groundwater, and the company plans to submit the final decommissioning plan in the late fall.
Even after that, however, actually decommissioning the property will take longer, state Radiation Control Bureau Chief Santiago Rodriguez tells SFR, as officials will need between three to six months to review the plan and ensure ThermoFisher met expectations.
“These documents are not small. They are hundreds—maybe even thousands—of pages,” Rodriguez says, “so it will take some time because we want to do a thorough job.”
If approved, ThermoFisher will enter into decommissioning status and have a two-year window to complete the plan, the chief says.
pany has lacked transparency, and notes “a lot of operations to date” don’t require public notice. “We have a permit, and that’s a public document,” Stevenson says. “And this is proceeding with full knowledge of the state Radiation Control Bureau, which is a public entity, and in New Mexico we have access to public documents.”
Tiempos Lindos Homeowners Associa–tion President Marlow Morrison of the adjacent neighborhood says that answer is insufficient. She says she would not have known how to make a public records request had she not been friends with an investigative reporter, and adds people need access to the information “without having to go through so much red tape” to get it.
“When there is activity of any kind that’s very noticeable on the property, somebody should be reporting to citizens on that,” Morrison says. “So many people in the area don’t even know that this is a site that needs decommissioning.”
District 3 City Councilor Pilar Faulkner—who served on the city’s Planning Commission during the approval of Los Prados’ master plan and zoning changes— tells SFR residents brought the new drilling to her attention. While the city has no regulatory oversight of ThermoFisher’s work, “it’s our job to be transparent with the community,” so individuals won’t come to “worst case scenario” conclusions, she says. Faulkner adds she’s working to meet with the company to try to schedule a public meeting at which
At this point, he adds, there is no concern for safety from the Radiation Control Bureau’s perspective. Regulations require radiation levels to be under 25 millirems—a measurement of biological damage—per year.
“The sampling they have done has not shown that there is radiation of quantities of concern,” he says. “There’s no radiation at that location that exceeds those limits. They’ve gotten rid of just about every radioisotope that was on the license that was authorized for the principal activities during the heyday of Eberline.”
However, Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety Executive Director Joni Arends tells SFR she believes “the harm has already been done,” citing reports of accidents and worker exposures in the facility over the years. A toxic material called americium-241 remained in the building until 2016, for example.
“As a precautionary measure, at least annual sampling should be done in the community directly west of the Thermo Eberline facility,” she says. “If they find something, immediate action needs to be taken.”
In an email, the City of Santa Fe’s Water Resources and Conservation Manager William Schneider tells SFR regulatory oversight falls under NMED, but adds he believes city water pipes near the “eyesore” site would not be affected by contaminated soil. Furthermore, he says city officials are working with NMED under the city’s source water protection programs to address “numerous legacy sites with residual chemical site releases…Progress is slow, and remediation actions are expensive.”
on the Plaza Packed
Organizer and attendees emphasize importance of visibility, community support efforts
BY EVAN CHANDLER evan@sfreporter.com
Santa Feans gathered on the Plaza June 29 in what organizers estimate were record numbers to celebrate Pride with music, dancing, local nonprofits and more.
Human Rights Alliance of Santa Fe Executive Director Kevin Bowen tells SFR the event’s turnout was “undoubtedly” the largest he’s seen for Pride here.
“We’re thrilled, because we need to be front and center, and we need to be forward and cement our presence in the city,” Bowen says. “I think that’s the key to the whole thing, and we need to show the rest of the community what we’re about.”
Bowen adds the organization will be conducting a geofencing study—using location-based data—to determine exact attendance.
He expects the results of that study this week, but maintains: “We know it’s bigger than last year,” Bowen says.
Mayor Alan Webber tells SFR he was happy to see the turnout, especially given the rise in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation across the country. The American Civil Liberties Union has tracked 527 anti-LGBTQ+ bills to date this year.
“There are so many parts of Santa Fe that are like a beacon of hope when it comes to human rights values, but also other forms of inclusivity, and it all speaks to a sense of core values that people in our city hold, and I think today was a reflection of that,” Webber says. “There’s an effort to roll those rights and progress back, and we can’t let that happen.”
Many who attended had similar thoughts on their minds. Several drag
and trans entertainers spoke and performed to cheers from a full crowd, including Miss Trans New Mexico Tiara Latrice. She will represent the state in the Trans USA National Pageantry later this year. She tells SFR she’s “excited and nervous” to compete for a state with “really great laws in place to protect trans people,” but more visibility is needed.
“It’s a new arena for me, but I really want to win—not for the crown or the money or anything like that—but because it would give me an opportunity to have a platform that I can do so much more work with,” Latrice says. “We have to make the doubters and the naysayers understand that we are here, and we’ve been here. There’s never been a time when there were not trans people, but we’re standing up now, and we’re coming out and saying, ‘We are here, and we should be able to live amongst everyone else.’”
The New Mexico chapter of Moms Demand Action, an organization fighting for public safety measures against gun violence, had a table at the event as well. State co-lead Becky Cox tells SFR attending was important to her because of what she says is “a direct tie” between gun violence and LGBTQ+ people.
“We do know that the LGBTQ+ community is disproportionately affected by gun violence,” Cox says. “It’s very important for us to be present in the community and show our support and show our awareness of the fact that it is so disproportionate, and we are actively trying to do something to end gun violence, especially in this community.”
Next on the Human Rights Alliance’s list, Bowen says, is work to open a brick-and-mortar center in Santa Fe.
“We want to have a place that is a coffeehouse, a safe space and a place where we can have support groups and mental health counseling—whatever the community needs,” he says, “and we’re thrilled because we’ve raised around $300,000 for that so far.”

Lessons in Sadness
Santa
Fe schools work to teach students how to deal with their feelings
BY MO CHARNOT mo@sfreporter.com
The following story includes discussions of suicide and self-harm.
Rising senior Amulya Mulakala had never wanted to miss a day of school. But in her second semester of seventh grade at The Academy for Technology and the Classics, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and shifted schools nationwide to online learning, the “feeling of enjoyment” she says she had always experienced from learning quickly subsided.
“I wasn’t in the classroom, and I didn’t really get to talk to my teachers anymore. It felt really impersonal,” she tells SFR. “I lost a lot of motivation to be at school and to actually try in my schoolwork.”
Naturally, Mulakala was excited when Santa Fe Public Schools returned to in-person education for the 2021-2022 school year, just in time for her to start high school. But one part felt different.
“Talking to students, the social aspect of it? That was really difficult,” Mulakala says. “In ninth grade, I struggled with making friends, and it made me kind of quiet, and really upset with how my situation was.”
The feeling has been common with students in Santa Fe—and across the nation. According to the national Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 42% of high school students in 2021 (the most recent report) said they had experienced “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness.” By comparison, 28% reported such feelings a decade prior.
Jenn Jevertson, assistant director in SFPS’ Office of Student Wellness, says she has “definitely seen an increase” in the number of students being referred to school counselors and other mental and behavioral health services.
“Some of it is hard to provide the actual datapoint evidence for,” Jevertson tells SFR, but “anecdotally, our counselors and other staff have talked about how students’ anxiety is significantly higher.”
The Student Wellness department at SFPS provides a broad range of services and programs: school counseling; nursing; social-emotional learning; school-based mental health; teen health centers; supports for teen parents, homeless students, LGBTQ+ students, undocumented students and more.
But Jevertson and the department’s executive director, Sue O’Brien, see one major gap they want to help fill.
“We really should get some more robust, direct mental health curriculum into the schools,” Jevertson says.
To start toward that goal, O’Brien and Jevertson presented a plan in early May to the
SFPS Board of Education for a pilot curricula in the upcoming school year that would include Signs of Suicide and Mental Health First Aid programs. The former is a direct set of suicide prevention lessons intended for middle schoolers, and the latter focuses on mental health more broadly, such as how to respond to mental health and substance abuse challenges. While “nothing is set in stone,” Jevertson says, they should know later this summer if they can launch in the coming school year. And if the pilots succeed, she adds, the department would work to implement the Mental Health First Aid program into the required health class that students take in their freshman year.
The effort comes amid worrisome data for local students. In the most recent results of New Mexico’s biennial Youth Risk and Resilience Survey available—which captured responses from middle and high school students in 2021—rates of the students’ mental health struggles were high. Santa Fe County, while slightly below the state average, reported that among high school students, 42% “felt sad or hopeless;” 30% had “frequent mental distress;” 16% had “seriously considered” suicide; 12% had made a plan to take their own life; and about 10% attempted suicide.
Middle school students in Santa Fe County reported higher rates among suicide-specific questions: 25% of students said they “seriously thought about” suicide; about 18% reported they made a plan to take their own life; and nearly 12% reported they had attempted suicide.
New Mexico’s suicide rates have consistently ranked among the highest in the US, with Mental Health America in 2022 ranking the state 47th for its higher prevalence of mental illness and lower rates of access to care for youth. The state health department tells SFR that year, the most recent data available, saw 20 suicide deaths in the state among people 18 years or younger, three of them in Santa Fe. In February of this year, an eighth-grade student at Mandela International Magnet School died by suicide.
While youth suicide rates have declined slightly in recent years— in New Mexico and nationally— the state’s suicide death rates have been at least 50% higher than US rates over the past 20 years.
According to Jevertson and O’Brien, SFPS staff conducted 218 suicide risk interviews in the 2023-2024 school year. Suicide risk interviews are administered after a student expresses suicidal thoughts, and determine whether
the student needs a full clinical assessment by a mental health provider and/or other emergency medical services.
Jevertson notes while she’s curious to see the next round of results from the 2023 YRRS, which will be released sometime between this summer and the fall, “whether it’s higher or not with the statistics, we know our students are struggling.”
***
As Mulakala’s social challenges continued freshman year, she asked her parents if she could receive therapy. And toward the end of the year, she joined her school’s WAVE program (Wellness Ambassadors to Voice & Empower).
WAVE clubs began with an emphasis on smoking cessation, but have evolved to include work on a variety of issues, including bullying, gun violence and suicide.
Joining WAVE, Mulakala says, “was the first step at understanding that I was struggling and accepting that it was OK to admit that. Before joining WAVE, I wouldn’t say I placed a lot of importance on [mental health], and that’s just because I really believed in that whole misconception that ‘emotions make you weak’ and things like that.”
Jakob Montoya, who will be entering his junior year at the MASTERS Program charter school at Santa Fe Community College, says he’s led two training sessions on the warning signs of suicide, and has guided his fellow students on whom to talk to about their mental health concerns.
Additionally, he participated in last year’s #SeizetheAwkward campaign, which he explains encourages students to “take the first step interacting” with someone about their mental health.
Montoya tells SFR he initially joined WAVE without knowing much about the club, after spending much of his time during the initial COVID-19 outbreak playing video games and attempting to find social circles online. At the time, he says, “I was really depressed. I remember having school without social interactions—it was just so bad. But WAVE was definitely an uplift from that.”
One of the main ways Mulakala connects with fellow students is through mindfulness techniques— in other words, breathing and grounding exercises to help with anxiety. She notes that for the past few years, working with younger students has allowed her to see the level of burnout her classmates have been experiencing.
“It’s happening at faster rates among younger kids, which isn’t a great thing,” Mulakala says. “I kind of think of it like ‘senioritis,’ but if senioritis is hitting seventh-graders, then something’s definitely wrong. A lot of us have lost a lot of motivation.”
The public schools also receive services from The Sky Center—a local nonprofit that works to “get as far ahead of youth suicide as possible” in Northern New Mexico
The stuff we really try to be focused on is helping kids not get overwhelmed by what they might see or hear in-person or on social media.
-Apryl Miller, The Sky Center, executive director
through educational programs, free counseling services and post-vention services when a school experiences a death by suicide. Apryl Miller, the organization’s executive director, says its classroom trainings for students mainly concentrate on managing depression and anxiety and how to help someone who is considering suicide.
“The stuff we really try to be focused on is helping kids not get overwhelmed by what they might see or hear in-person or on social media,” Miller says. “It’s a much more detailed version of ‘See something, say something’ in terms of showing love and compassion, concern and care—and seeking out healthy adults to turn to in this community.”

Jenn Jevertson, SFPS’ assistant director at the Office of Student Wellness, has been overseeing a myriad of student support services since 2017.
Incoming senior Amulya Mulakala, who joined her school’s WAVE program at the end of her freshman year, says one of her preferred ways to educate fellow students about mental health is through leading breathing and grounding exercises to aid with anxiety.
Lessons in Sadness
In addition to direct classroom education, The Sky Center reaches out to schools to provide wellness training to students through its Inner/Outer Life Skills and Natural Helpers programs, which teach problem-solving skills to students with behavioral issues, and help students understand the warning signs of suicide and how to help those experiencing suicidal thoughts, respectively.
During the pandemic, Miller notes, The Sky Center saw “a steady increase of about 25%” in the number of young people being served by the nonprofit’s counseling services and other programs.
“We were sort of at the epicenter of the tsunami that happened after the pandemic, after schools closed and there was so much loss and grief in our community, and anxiety and uncertainty,” Miller says. “That definitely had an impact financially, emotionally…I don’t think our numbers have subsided since the pandemic; they spiked up there and stayed up there.”
And services have not always caught up.
According to data from the US Department of Health and Human Services, last updated in April 2024, only about 19% of the need for mental health care providers has been met in New Mexico.
Jevertson says she believes access to providers that don’t have waiting lists constitutes one of the biggest challenges people in the community face when it comes to mental health care.
In the 2023-2024 school year, 296 SFPS students were referred to school-based behavioral health services, and about 117 received those services from Presbyterian Medical Services or TeamBuilders, depending on the school. About 46% of students referred chose to not pursue the services or did not respond, and as of April 30, about 42 students referred (14%) were still on a waitlist to receive these services. Data up to the end of March 2024 shows that 86 students from Capital High School and Santa Fe High School visited their respective school-based health centers for mental health-related appointments. Statewide, surveillance between Jan 1. and March 31 of this year show 1,625 youth (ages 5-17) emergency room visits that included a mental health issue.
“As far as behavioral health therapists go, there has been a shortage in Santa Fe of available therapists where you’re not on a waiting list and you can actually get in to see someone. That was true before the pandemic. It feels like it’s even more true now, but statistically I don’t know if it’s ‘the same’ bad or ‘worse’ bad,” Jevertson says.
According to Nick Boukas, director of the Behavioral Health Services Division of the Human Services Department (part of the state Health Care Authority as of July 1), New Mexico experienced a “significant jump in providers between 2019 and 2023,” including an increase in behavioral health providers and “almost doubling the number of psychologists and psychiatrists in the state.”
According to the database of providers
the Health Care Authority maintains, the number of core behavioral health providers in New Mexico increased from 3,186 to 5,511 in that time period, and the number of Medicaid psychiatry providers increased from 346 to 705: 73% and 104% increases, respectively.
“Is that exactly what we need? The answer is no. We still need more providers, but that is a significant jump.” Boukas says. He also notes that his department has seen an increase in reimbursement rates for providers. “I think that’s very attractive to people
Humans are social beings. We’re meant to be in community and we’re meant to interact.

as they’re coming into the state to help us provide services to the Medicaid population, which is almost 50% of New Mexicans,” he says.
Jevertson says school-based mental health services, using partnerships with local health organizations, are a major way to help students receive the care they need. Jevertson explains that when a school counselor determines a student needs more support and the student’s parents agree, the counselor then sends a referral to whichever provider is assigned to the student’s school.
“In a way, it’s an outside referral, but it takes place during the school day on school grounds,” Jevertson says. “If all the kids in Santa Fe who were in school and needed therapy and wanted therapy could only go in that little bit of time right after school, there wouldn’t be enough providers to see enough students. This really helps remove some barriers, plus parents won’t have to transport them. It makes it a lot more accessible for a number of our youth.”
O’Brien tells SFR via email that the Office of Student Wellness “deeply values its relationships with community providers that give students school-based mental health care,” including TeamBuilders Behavioral Health, Presbyterian Medical Services and Serna Solutions.
“In their ongoing efforts to serve more students in the school setting, Presbyterian has historically increased the number of therapists in our schools, resulting in more students being served,” O’Brien says. “We still need more school-based mental health providers to meet the growing number of students needing behavioral health services. Waitlists, whether in our school-based behavioral health services or in private practice, still exist.”
According to Miller, The Sky Center also strives to open its doors to as many people as possible, although increased volume can lead to wait lists. She says she believes The Sky Center’s creation in 1994 was necessary to the community because “we definitely needed a place in Santa Fe where it was easy access for young people and their families to gain mental health services without regard to income, citizenship and insurance. We really have focused on having no barriers, obstacles, and ideally, no wait list.”
O’Brien adds that some ways to improve the district’s mental health care would include partnering with more behavioral health services to grow the student wellness department’s capacity, and collaborating with hospitals to “ensure students are getting the appropriate level and program of care once released from the hospital for acute behavioral health needs.”
SFPS Superintendent Hilario “Larry” Chavez tells SFR that the school district
The Tierra Nueva Counseling Center on Santa Fe’s Southside focuses on art- and play-based therapy for children, according to clinical director Denise Moore.
must also advocate for the state to increase its investments into the mental health care profession.
“When it comes to vendors or contractors, we use them as a last resource. We would love to bring it in-house or have employees provide those services,” Chavez says. “It’s a difficult task, but we’re trying to also bring those services back to Santa Fe Public Schools. When we have to go to outside contractors, usually it’s because there’s a need, and it’s a need that we don’t want to leave unmet. Contractors provide valuable assistance to address that area because of the lack of providers we can bring in-house.”
To aid with statewide shortages in mental health care, Santa Fe continues to host those entering the field through Southwestern College, a private graduate school that specializes in counseling and art therapy. Denise Moore, the clinical director of Southwestern’s Tierra Nueva Counseling Center, says 12 new students will arrive in the fall semester for counseling and/or art therapy training.
In addition to overseeing the training, Moore also develops Tierra Nueva’s programs for children, which include creative art and play therapy. Similar to The Sky Center, Moore notes that “people are in more need than before” of therapeutic services.
“I think folks are still coming out of isolation, and the other thing that was difficult was play therapy…the thing we know that works for kids and teens. We had to learn how to do play therapy online, and that’s a hard curve, because working with young people, there’s so much that is done face-toface, in the non-verbal, the arts—what we call implicit tools in therapy,” Moore says. “That impacted how we worked with young people, and it impacted isolation for young people, because everything is on the screen, even their therapy.”
During the pandemic, Moore says they worked around online play therapy by pro-
viding apps and other online games and gave out art kits that people could pick up to do art therapy at home. And now that in-person therapy has returned, Moore emphasizes Tierra Nueva as a place for members of the community to connect, such as during free sand play events on Saturdays and other outdoor therapeutic activities.
“Humans are social beings,” she says. “We’re meant to be in community and we’re meant to interact, and we’re slowly but surely becoming more isolated in some ways.”

Incoming junior student Rubi Saenz tells SFR that the hardest part of online learning was being apart from her friends.
“It also caused me some anxiety, and really reduced my ability to speak in front of people, share my thoughts and ideas,” Saenz says. “I became more shy than I was, and being inside my house with nobody to talk to… it was really hard to communicate and be confident.”
Joining Santa Fe High School’s WAVE program, Saenz says, allowed her to improve her leadership skills and connect with other students through mental health awareness. She recalls handing out the student wellness department’s “Reach Out” cards that list warning signs of suicide, helplines, local resources and suggest conversation-starters for talking to someone struggling with mental health to “encourage more students our age to get and give help.”
“I do not know for certain if WAVE’s suicide prevention campaigns get to help everyone, but I do know that there’s at least some people out there that we have helped,” Saenz says. “There are people out there who do not have anybody to talk to at home or they do not feel comfortable with. So in school, we try to help those people out.”
Jevertson notes that actions like this are part of why programs like WAVE are important to student mental health, and says the fact that it’s more socially acceptable to have conversations about mental
health is “incredibly exciting.”
“Those youth are noticing things in their friends, they’re talking about it with their friends. If friends can notice they’re struggling, it doesn’t mean they have to solve it on their own, but it’s more people to surround that person and help get them to the care that they need to get through the crisis they’re in,” Jevertson says.
Christopher Allers, the district’s WAVE prevention specialist, tells SFR he has worked with Saenz since she joined WAVE in ninth grade, and that the personal growth he’s seen from her “has been incredible.” As she enters her junior year, she will be leaving SFPS to attend the United World College of the Adriatic in Duino, Italy, after receiving a scholarship.
“The first time we met, she was hardly even wanting to introduce herself, and now…leading trainings, icebreakers, going to school in Italy, doing all of these amazing things,” Allers says. “I in no way think WAVE is 100 percent of the reason for that, but I know it’s at least a small portion of that because it’s giving her and other students an opportunity to really find their voice by doing things they care about and having a lot of choice in what that means and looks like.”
Jevertson describes the way that student-led mental health initiatives work to help other students as “the lifeguard theory.”
“If you have a crowded pool of people swimming around, and you have two lifeguards trying to watch everybody, trying to interpret what’s going on, who needs help…unlike in some movies where they’re thrashing around and waving their hands, when someone does start to drown it’s quieter, they bob. It’s not always super obvious,” Jevertson says.
“So, it is a lot easier for just the two lifeguards to miss something sudden like that, especially when the pool’s crowded and there’s people moving around. But who’s most likely going to see that person bobbing? It’s going to be the people right around them.”

EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY
With the recent South Fork/Salt fires in Ruidoso still fresh in the news, there’s no time like the present to think long and hard about whether it’s worth it to set off fireworks in the streets. If you simply must experience explosives, the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe’s annual Fourth of July event at the Santa Fe Place mall should scratch the itch. With food trucks, music from The Brujo Trio, Brandon Post and more—plus the promise of safe pyrotechnics from the same people who safely bring us the safe burning of Zozobra each year—it’s precisely the kind of place to take your family and know you won’t scare any dogs.

SHEER POETRY
Last time we heard from poet Natachee Momaday Gray (Kiowa Apache), she’d just released her first poetry book, Silver Box. Since then, she’s become a mom and moved out to Coyote, near Abiquiú, but this week she’ll be back in Santa Fe for a reading alongside poet Jill Prendergast at Teatro Paraguas. “We’re keeping it super raw and reading to each other from our personal diaries,” Momaday Gray says. “It’s going to be our very, very personal diaries—unfinished thoughts, unpolished pieces that are not necessarily ever going to be published.” Momaday Gray also says she’s got a pair of new manuscripts in the works, including a hybrid poetry/cookbook.

Your New Muse
Meow Wolf co-founder lives on through the music of Lyra Muse
If you ask most folks about Meow Wolf, many will first note the arts corporation’s visual aesthetic. For singer and multiinstrumentalist Lyra Muse, though, Meow Wolf is also the root of her music career. If Muse had to describe her music simply, she’d call it pop, electric and sometimes experimental. But her extensive background as a classically trained violinist has opened the door to an enigmatic sound that can’t neatly fit into any one category.
“I’m the full embodiment of the dark feminine,” she tells SFR. “It’s delicate, but it’s also heavy-hitting.”
Muse is a mother and music teacher from Cincinnati who holds a degree in violin performance. She moved to Santa Fe in 2019 to work as an assistant for one of Meow Wolf’s design teams. That’s also when she met late Meow Wolf co-founder Matt King, with whom she worked while composing music for one of the exhibits at House of Eternal Return
King introduced Muse to music effects pedals—think sound augmentations like distortion, delay, flange, chorus and the all-important loop station, the last of which allowed Muse to layer multiple live tracks over one another and become the one-woman act she is today.
“Everything just changed for me,” she says, after discovering the myriad audio op-
tions pedals can afford. “My heart soared, my gut got excited.”
Muse and King’s artistic relationship continued during the pandemic through a collaborative and improvisational songwriting practice. King also gave Muse her first pedals to help fuel the duo’s creative drive.
“He had a lot and he literally just wanted to play music,” Muse says, adding that, if not for the timing and circumstances of the pandemic, the project wouldn’t have happened.
After King’s death in 2022, Muse says, she started expanding upon the songs, making them her own. Still, King’s impact remains.
“It’s been hard for me to separate where my project starts,” Muse explains, “and he ends.”
The result? Muse’s new song “We Come Out of the Mud,” which she wrote with King in 2020 and is set to release on Friday, July 5. The ethereal ballad depicts a wistful and evocative tone while conveying the stark and brooding side of Muse’s personality. Hear its debut when Muse takes the stage at Ghost this Saturday.

How does someone who doesn’t live in Santa Fe end up as the artistic director for a theater troupe like the Incite Shakespeare Company? In the case of Ariana Karp, it’s mainly about being a big ol’ Bard nerd. Karp, who calls Davis, California, home, has served in the role since 2018, though her involvement with local Shakespeare dates back to 2016 and companies like Upstart Crows. An actor, director and visionary with a degree from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, Karp spends a few months in Santa Fe each summer helping to mount and perform in ISC productions. Romeo & Juliet opens this weekend (7:30 pm Friday July 5 and Saturday, July 6; 2 pm Sunday July 7. $5$100. The Actors Lab, 1213 Parkway Drive, iscsantafe.org), followed by The Taming of the Shrew later this month. This interview has been edited for clarity and concision.
(Alex De Vore)
This year’s season bears a theme: Genre/ gender-bending. Can you talk about what this means?
If we’re looking at gender and genre for the two plays we’re doing, Romeo & Juliet is the genre one. It really starts out as a comedy, and so many productions I’ve seen—look, we all know the ending, and it’s very easy to play the end of the play at the beginning of the play and not have fun with the whole first half—but it’s absolutely a comedy right up until Mercutio dies and everything goes wrong. Conversely, when we get to our gender-bending The Taming of the Shrew, we’re setting it in an upside-down world where women hold the financial and political power. It was sort of like, ‘well what does that do to the play?’ There’s a whole baggage car to unpack with that play; it has even been used to justify an American history of physical and emotional marriage abuse for centuries. We’re also queering a couple characters; and gender-fluidity is very much written into Shakespeare’s plays. It doesn’t seem radical to me. He was constantly playing with gender and genre.
I understand there’s a bit of a prompt for audiences to consider at ISC shows this year: ‘Choose Shakespeare—timely, imaginative and riveting.’ What does this mean to you?
Because Santa Fe is bursting to the brim with experiences and things you can do, what do we tell people? We tell them to choose Shakespeare. Shakespeare still speaks to us to this day. It still speaks to audiences, it still speaks to actors, and I think…in a world that is full of 140-character thoughts, it’s part of valuing complexity and nuance. It’s empowering to delve into something that seems on the surface to be complex. Just because it’s on the surface doesn’t mean there’s not an information goldmine. Shakespeare is so global at this point, and nobody owns Shakespeare, which is fantastic. He was writing at a time when they were just getting out of the morality play era, and I think the reason he endured was because not a single character he wrote—with the exception of Iago—is all good or all bad. Most characters have a moment, too, when you think, ‘Oh, c’mon! What’re you doing?’ That’s the most human thing ever.
ISC’s promo describes a contemporary approach to this summer’s productions. Can you share any specifics about that? ‘Contemporary’ does not necessarily mean we’re doing Hamlet in Space! To me, ‘contemporary’ has more to do with trying to think about how this play speaks to our time now. How does this resonate with a contemporary audience? And it’s not about shying away from moments that don’t resonate with a contemporary audience, but acknowledging they’re there. The other part of it has to do with process, because I think for far too long there have been a lot of really unhealthy processes in the theater industry where actors are taken for granted, taken advantage of, so we try to do a contemporary approach inspired by Shakespeare’s companies’ process: We start our rehearsals on Sunday, and we open on Friday, and it’s all-day rehearsals. Shakespeare’s companies would raise shows in probably a day, day-and-a-half. The process is what I consider our most contemporary approach—how can we improve the process and make it both supportive and challenging? If it’s just supportive, we’re not doing anything; if it’s just challenging, it’s almost abuse. Much of the rehearsal process and the way we focus is on sensible building and listening skills, and what we found last year is that everyone is excited about that. The contemporary aspect is also about our relationship to our audience. The show changes because our audience is there. But internally, we want to have really good practices. But we’re still tweaking it and I don’t think it’s ever a static or fixed thing.

Natalie Goldberg’s new book finds structure in emptiness
BY ANNABELLA FARMER author@sfreporter.com
Our next guest needs no introduction—if you’re a writer or reader in Santa Fe, I’m willing to bet you’re already familiar with Natalie Goldberg and her 1986 classic, Writing Down the Bones What you might not know, though? She’s got a new book coming out this month.
Writing On Empty (July 9, St. Martin’s Essentials) looks back on the creative paralysis that seized Goldberg at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when lockdowns and isolation left her wellspring of inspiration dry. It examines how she found her own way out of that torpor, and offers a roadmap for other writers to do the same.
Writing Down the Bones emphasizes the importance of a dedicated writing practice, and the methods she writes about worked for Goldberg herself for decades. But when the onset of the pandemic tore away the structure of everyday life and exposed the dysfunction of larger societal structures, Goldberg was left to reckon with what structure really means in a creative practice.
During lockdown, none of the writers, poets, painters or musicians in Goldberg’s circle could create, and she was no different.
“It was like everything I knew was out the window,”Goldberg tells SFR, “and I had to start from zero to find my way again.”
Feeling stifled by the closure of the cafés and libraries she had relied upon in which to write, Goldberg clung to whatever struc ture she could find, meeting weekly with a friend at the Water History Park on Upper Canyon Road to talk about their lives and childhoods. But when her friend suffered a serious bike accident, even that vestige was gone.
Left reeling, Goldberg knew she needed to make a change and decided to follow through on a residency in Port Townsend, Washington, where she’d been invited before the pandemic began. There, she’d be given a cabin to live and write in—even though she no longer felt like a writer and had no idea what she would be writing. She and her girlfriend decided to drive to Port Townsend rather than fly and, on the way, made a pilgrimage to Ernest Hemingway’s grave in Idaho, which Goldberg had always wanted to visit. Sitting beside his grave, Goldberg told Hemingway all about her crisis of faith. And when she was finished, she knew what she had to do: Write anyway.
That graveside epiphany became Writing On Empty, Goldberg’s 16th book, and a sprawling self-examination that addresses isolation, loss of faith, apathy, fear, confusion and, of course, emptiness—all of which the pandemic brought into stark focus. She still honors the idea of structure and practice, but not as rigidly. For example, Goldberg looks back on the intensity of the 12 years she spent training with Sōtō Zen priest and teacher Jikai Dainin Katagiri: As
BOOKS
a young person grasping for direction, rigid discipline served her; now, at 76, a new phase of life has changed her attitude.
“I still have a practice, I still sit, I still write,” Goldberg says. “But maybe the real practice is realizing you’re groundless and learning to tolerate the void.”
that book came out,” she explains. “I really just wrote what I saw and felt; I didn’t know that it was going to take off.”
Still, the techniques she shared in that book—which Goldberg calls writing practice and topics, though many call them free writes and prompts—are now integral to millions of people’s writing routines.
She hadn’t yet fully confronted this in her Zen practice, Goldberg says, adding that she instead wrapped a writing practice around it. Clearly, this resonated—Writing Down the Bones has sold more than a million copies, and its runaway success was practically an accident, Goldberg says.
“I was terrified when I was in my 30s and
“Society was ready for it,” Goldberg posits.
But COVID-19 altered society, and Goldberg needed to see that change reflected in the nature of her own practice. At the end of Writing On Empty, she offers a roadmap for other writers to trace her steps out of creative paralysis, no matter its source. While not all of us have the privilege of retreating to a solitary cabin or an iconic author’s gravesite—or even what Goldberg calls “empty time”—she offers topics to reflect on, and Writing On Empty speaks not only to the impetus to continue creating through a personal crisis, but to continue creating in the face of overwhelming global upheaval and loss.
“I think every writer has to face the feeling that what you are doing is a waste of time, that you should be out helping people—every writer faces that, no matter how successful,” Goldberg says. “We have a larger self that writes, and then we have a monkey mind that criticizes and tears us apart. It takes great faith to just keep going.” Goldberg will celebrate Writing on Empty’s release with a reading at Collected Works Bookstore.

Life of the Party
Soprano Mané Galoyan
dazzles in Santa Fe Opera’s newest rendition of La Traviata
BY JULIA GOLDBERG juliagoldberg@sfreporter.com
By all accounts, Alexandre Dumas fils (whose father wrote The Three Musketeers) wrote his novel La Dame aux Camélias Lady of the Camellias—in less than a month in an emotional response to the death of 23-year-old Parisian courtesan Marie Duplessis, his former lover. The book opens with a scene lifted from real life, when Dumas attended Duplessis’ estate sale and watched people sift through her belongings.
Published in 1848, the novel arrived in the world alongside insurrections in Paris, which stymied its reprint as well as its stage adaptation—also written swiftly in just over a week. Only three years later after a regime change did the play finally open—only to be immediately censored. As the introduction to the Penguin edition of the novel notes:
“Until then no dramatist had dared to put on stage a courtesan whose life had not been either distanced by history or poetized by legend. Young Dumas had not only brought the public into the world of Duplessis; he had also portrayed it exactly as he had known it, using the clothes, decor and dialogue of modern life.”
The ban lasted only three days before the play began its run again and became a hit—and inspired Giuseppe Verdi in 1853 to create La Traviata with librettist Francesco Maria Piave.
In Verdi’s iteration, Parisian courtesan Violetta Valéry carries on a life of parties and revelry while her health declines from tuberculosis. She meets and falls in love with poor young Alfredo Germont and decides to forfeit her extravagant lifestyle to be with him. They run away to the country, but Alfredo’s father Giorgio Germont persuades Violetta to sacrifice her love for his son for the family’s honor. Spoiler alert: The lovers are eventually united, just before Violetta’s inevitable death.
La Traviata initially flopped before rebounding to become one of the most be-
loved in the opera repertoire. The Santa Fe Opera’s 2024 production is its 14th, following 2009 and 2023 performances—which received mixed reviews in this paper.
Not so this year.
Director Louisa Muller has reset the opera in 1939 Paris, on the eve of World War II, and has cited Jean Renoir’s 1939 film The Rules of the Game, a French “comedy” that critiques the hypocrisy of its society, as an influence on her production (the opera teamed up with the Center for Contemporary Arts to screen films that influenced three of this year’s operas; catch the final one, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, and learn about its relationship to The Righteous at 6 pm, Monday, July 8 at CCA).
The Rules of the Game, like Verdi’s opera and Dumas’ source material, had a rocky start before becoming the revered work it is today: it was hated by audiences, banned by Nazis, destroyed and reconstructed in 1959.
In a preview video to the opera, Muller speaks at greater length of the decision to set the opera in prewar Paris, calling it “an amazing time of art-making and extravagance and just a gathering place for sort of every artist and writer and thinker of that time.” At the same time, she notes, it was also “a really sort of dangerous time, as everyone feels the dread of war coming. Everybody’s very aware of the rise of fascism around Europe.”
In the Santa Fe Opera’s production, scenic and costume designer Christopher Oram perfectly echoes the subtle use of foreground and background in Renoir’s film, with a revolving set that allows for the scene changes, but also provides serpentine glimpses of characters in private versus public moments—underscoring the thematic tension between personal lives and societal realities, ably punctuated by lighting designer Marcus Doshi.
The set and the costumes also are beautiful and striking in good measure, from Violetta’s simple negligee to the increasingly bawdy costumes of the party-goers as the opera moves toward its climax. Moreover, the genteel party attire transitions to more outré costuming as the facade of polite society crumbles to reveal the dangers and treachery lying in wait.
Muller’s resonant concept works, and the show’s 2 1/2-hour run-time flies by in a whirl of music and dance—thanks to the dynamic conducting of Corrado Rovaris; extraordinary group performances under the direction of Chorus Master Susanne Sheston (with show-stealing turns from apprentices Kaylee Nichols, mezzo-soprano, as Flora, and bass-baritone Sam Dhobhany as Marchese d’Obigny); and the show’s choreography under the direction of Matthew Steffens—particularly dancers Nicholas Sipes and Emily Cardea (Lady of the Camellias also became a ballet, which we now want to see).
But saving the most key performance for last: Armenian soprano Mané Galoyan in her Santa Fe debut delivers an emotive performance and beautiful singing that would not only bring Julia Roberts to tears (sorry, had to make at least one La Traviata pop culture reference and Pretty Woman won out over Moulan Rouge), but in fact silenced the strangely restive attendees in my section on opening night.
Neither tenor Bekhzod Davronov as Alfredo Germont, nor baritone Alfredo Daza as Giorgio Germont (who replaced Carlos Arámbula, who withdrew for personal reasons) made a strong or lasting impression, so moving was Galoyan’s performance as the opera’s titular fallen woman, whose real-life counterpart inspired so much enduring art.

New New Mexican
Capital Coal Neighborhood Eatery adds another menu to its micro-concept empire
BY ALEX DE VORE @sfreporter.com
Why, yes, my cover story Yes, Chef on Santa Fe chef Dakota Weiss from last November did win a first place award for food writing from the Society of Professional Journalists’ Top of the Rockies. And though I’d like to think it’s because I’m a talented little word…guy, that win probably had something to do with Weiss as a person, too.
In case you missed it, Weiss is kind of fascinating; here are some highlights:
• California-born, New Mexico-raised
• Started business school, phased to culinary school
• Worked in a bunch of killer restaurants in America and abroad, learned bunches
• Competed on Top Chef during season 9
• Returned to California to open the Sweetfin poke chain
• Met current life/business partner Rich Becker, who previously worked for Shake Shack
• Diagnosed with breast cancer; kicked its ass
• Sold her share in Sweetfin, moved back to Santa Fe to work for Coyote Café, left to open her own joints: Catch Poke and Capital Coal Neighborhood Eatery
In summary, Weiss has done a lot in the food world—including being one of the drivers behind the growing American obsession with poke in recent years—and she and Becker’s Capital Coal builds on the Sweetfin/Catch Poke idea that food done quickly needn’t be of poor quality. Think of it like a food hall, replete with numerous culinary concepts available under one roof, only with one staff making everything. And it’s growing.
Weiss and Becker, for example, shuttered their original Catch Poke location on Marcy Street a few weeks ago and rolled it up into Capital Coal alongside its salad, Asian fusion, spicy fried chicken, French dip, charcuterie, raw bar, popcorn and dessert
concepts; and they’ll henceforth offer up a handful of Mexican- and New Mexicaninspired dishes as part of the just-opened El 505 New Mexican Cuisine menu. The idea, Weiss says, is to both flex her muscle and to satiate customers who repeatedly ask for New Mexican dishes when dining at Capital Coal. Folks who’ve just stepped off the train at the downtown depot, for example, wander into Capital Coal looking for something New Mexican, Weiss says, and she doesn’t want to disappoint them. Plus, she says, the dishes should all be familiar to fans of local cuisine.
“It’s not breaking any barriers, it’s not reinventing the food—it’s offering a few things that we know people like and want,” Weiss says.
And it’s a strong start. El 505 kicks off with five dishes, including nachos with various meat options or calabacitas; stacked red/green/X-mas enchiladas with carne asada, chicken tinga or calabacitas; chilaquiles; Frito pie; and—perhaps most importantly— elote, that glorious corn/mayo/queso fresco/Tajin dish that anyone from Los Angeles thinks about pretty much whenever they close their eyes. With a price range between $8-$15, too, El 505 is affordable out of the gate, and we must never underestimate the comfy ambiance at Capital Coal, nor its incredibly clean interior.
And so, I had everything—and I mean everything—on the menu. Let’s break it down:
NACHOS ($15)
Served with a mountain of house-made chips, jack cheese and queso fresco, plus pico, lime crema and, in this instance, green chile plus ground beef, this dish is clearly for sharing. The ground beef was seasoned well and came in copious amounts, and the medley of pico and green chile was spicy but doable and rather complex in its borderline sweetness. The house-made chips were thin and crispy, but sturdy enough to bear the weight of the meat, cheese and other accouterments. This dish also came with thick-sliced jalapeño that was among the brightest and freshest I’ve tasted anywhere ever. You can get a red chile version, too.
STACKED ENCHILADAS
($15)
Having sampled the red chile chicken tinga iteration of Weiss’ enchiladas, I can confidently say that her take on red is on par with
If you’re not elote-ing at least once a month, what are you even doing with your life?
other local faves. And though it’s not thick in the way you’d find at Palacio or La Choza, the day I sampled Weiss’ it was both incredibly spicy (in the best way) and full of that earthy, cumin-forward flavor you want.
CHILAQUILES
($12)
If I’m honest, this is the weakest dish in the new lineup. Weiss says she put it on the menu at the request of her staff, and though the fried egg was about the most perfectly cooked fried egg I’ve ever encountered, the thinner chips at Capital Coal struggled to maintain any semblance of crispiness. Weiss sautées them in a roasted tomato salsa and serves the dish with white onion, cilantro and more of those tasty jalapeños, but unless you plan to hit it hard and fast, you might wind up in the same boat as me— the boat where you feel your dish is a little too soggy.
FRITO PIE ($9)
As a young lad trying to make friends while contending with my status as a New Mexico newbie, I would attend the summertime Little League baseball games in which my school classmates played. I hated every second of it, except for the concessions stand, from which I’d buy a massive Pixie Stick and a massive Frito pie—the latter of which I’d never encountered before moving here. Weiss’ take on one of New Mexico’s favorite offerings tastes exactly like those of my youth and, like them, comes served right in the bag. The $9 price tag feels a little
tough to swallow when one considers they can waltz into Five & Dime any old time and drop $6.50 on the gold standard, but that doesn’t come with an experience like Capital Coal’s dining room, service, etc. Of all the dishes, this one feels the most comforting and familiar.
ELOTE
($8)
As a son of Los Angeles, it’s heartening to see a Mexican treat like elote hit more Santa Fe menus, and Weiss’ version is something special. Served still on the cob, just like I’d get it in the streets when the bars shut down and I’d stumble my way home, the combo of mayo, queso fresco and Tajin already tastes so good, but the Capital Coal elote also comes with crushed-up Takis for a little extra bite and crunch. Spiciness and crunchiness alongside sweetness is no small feat without serving up something muddled, but each flavor shines in its own way without being too busy. Not only that, but the cob is so big, it could be a meal unto itself—if you can resist the enchiladas, that is.

Janet Planet Review
Playwright Annie Baker goes from stage to screen with excellent results
BY ARIEL GORE author@sfreporter.com
In rural Western Massachusetts, in an early-1990s world where silence and boredom set a beautifully human pace, 11-year-old Lacy (Zoe Ziegler) calls her mother to pick her up from camp: “I’m going to kill myself,” she threatens, deadpan.
“This is a bad pattern,” single mom Janet (Julianne Nicholson, Dream Scenario) eventually responds.
The provocative thematic question is set: Does individuation equal death? In particular, what can— or even should—crack the unique dyad of the single mother with an only daughter relationship? It’s a unique connection rarely captured in art, and Janet Planet holds its magic like a precious egg for almost two hours.
Janet tries to entertain adult relationships, but tensions flare whenever those connections threaten the insular world she’s built with her child. Lacy, too,
+ SHOWS RATHER THAN TELLS - SUPPORTING CAST STRUGGLES TO KEEP UP WITH GLADSTONE
If you can’t place how you know the name Erica Tremblay (Seneca-Cayuga Nation), it’s likely because you’ve forgotten she wrote and directed numerous episodes of the much-lauded FX/Hulu show Reservation Dogs. Tremblay also has quite a few film credits under her belt in various roles, but the forthcoming Fancy Dance starring Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone might be her most impactful work yet.
Gladstone (Blackfeet) here plays Jax, a queer auntie living on the Seneca-Cayuga rez in Oklahoma with her young niece Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson, Tr’ondëk Hwéch’in) who finds herself dealing with the aftermath of her missing sister, Roki’s mother. As the community barrels toward the big annual powwow, Jax must contend with a broken system, ailing connections to her family and her very survival—all while trying to keep her niece’s connections to their culture alive alongside her own.
Gladstone strikes a sublime balance between magnetic and repulsive as the hustler Jax. On one hand, she seems to be corrupting her niece with meditations on thievery and deception; on the other, their environs don’t exactly make for easy living and almost every move Jax makes feels justifiable in that steal-aloaf-of-bread way.
Tremblay, who co-wrote the script with Miciana Alise (Tlingit) and also directs, is a masterful environmental storyteller. Jax and Roki’s home, for example, is a cluttered mess, but a home; and scenes set in places like Tulsa drug dens, the rez mini-mart/fence
tries to push herself out of the twosome, but the familiar safety of her small family is the only home she knows. Within the bond, the expected hierarchies of parent and child roles bend and even vanish.
“Sometimes I feel like she’s watching me,” Janet confides in an adult friend—meaning even when her daughter isn’t actually there. The truth seems to be that they’re watching each other with an intensity and psychic attachment perhaps impossible in larger families.
This is Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker’s cinematic debut, and her stage background at once shines and startles in the on-screen me-
or the strip club where Jax’s paramour (a quick but pivotal performance from Crystal Lightning, Enoch Cree) works set a tone of living with little hope—but living nonetheless. Even a brief turn from Boardwalk Empire alum Shea Whigham as Jax’s white father adds a layer of meaning to Jax’s pathos; even a quick scene featuring semi-nomadic oil workers is cause for contemplation.
Jax wants a better life for her niece and doesn’t know how to make it happen, but she speaks Cayuga regularly and passes along ceremonial and cultural knowledge often. Still, the omnipresent undercurrent of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People permeates each and every scene, leaving little room for comfort or a satisfying climax. It hurts, in fact, when we must accept what Jax knows all along: Help isn’t coming, but celebrating small victories, even if they’re just another sunrise, sometimes has to be enough.
Fancy Dance screens on the AppleTV+ streaming service, but also select theaters—like Santa Fe’s Center for Contemporary Arts. (Alex De Vore) Center for Contemporary Arts, R, 90 min.
SO LONG, AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FLICKS
After a close call with closure in 2022 and a subsequent eleventh hour reopening, the Center for Contemporary Arts seems to be in a better place than it has in some time. All the same, Artistic Advisor (née General Manager) Paul Barnes announced last week that he’ll step back from his day-to-day duties, leaving the cinema in the hands of Cinema Director Justin Clifford Rhody (also of DIY theater No Name Cinema) and Cinema Manager Jayson Jacobson. Barnes cites recent health woes following a particularly nasty case of COVID-19 in December, as well as his
dium. The dialogue is quietly hilarious and often allowed to go on for longer than we’re used to on the big screen, but if you’re willing to sit back and remember a time when we could listen to ourselves think, the film becomes a perfect mediation on love and what it means to grow up.
husband Vern’s recent prostate cancer diagnosis on top of an existing case of fibromyalgia. “Long COVID hit my short-term memory and it was getting harder and harder,” Barnes, 74, told SFR last week. “It was just getting to be too much.” CCA Board President David Muck also spoke with SFR, adding that “I really appreciate Paul’s assistance during those nine months upon reopening.” CCA is currently running a number of notable films, including playwright Annie Baker’s Janet Planet (see review above) and the new Lily Gladstone drama Fancy Dance (see review to the left).
THE GREAT NETFLIX EXPANSION OF ‘24
Streaming behemoth Netflix announced last week that its Albuquerque Studios will soon expand to include four sound stages, three mills, a production office and two stage support buildings, which Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in a statement called a “$2 billion commitment.” Albuquerque Studios sits on 108 acres in—get this—Albuquerque, but you’ll still probably spend a lot of time scrolling the service wondering what to watch. PSA? The Office is on Peacock now. Back at Netflix, the facility expansion will reportedly include a number of thoughtful elements, including geothermal heating, solar power and EV chargers. The company says it has invested nearly $575 million in New Mexico since the studios opened in 2019, and that it employed roughly 4,000 New Mexicans between 2021 and 2023.
OOF, JESSICA ALBA—TOUGH BLOW
While we’re on the topic of Netflix, Paste Magazine writer Jacob Oller really hated the new action movie Trigger Warning with Jessica Alba, which was shot right here in New Mexico. “The veteran-comes-home revenger Trigger Warning is thoroughly idiotic and

deathly slow, filled with so much camp that it could stand in as the first Lifetime Original action movie,” Oller writes. Got ‘em!
SUNDANCIN’ IN THE MOONLIGHT
Regular Bonus Features readers will surely remember when SFR mentioned the city might go a-courting the Sundance Film Festival, which might (and we mean might) leave its long-standing Park City, Utah, home by 2026. As we speak, numerous cities, Santa Fe included, have put in bids to host the fest, with Atlanta reportedly offering $2 million and Boulder offering $1.5 million. Santa Fe’s bid? Well, according to Santa Fe Film Office Director Jennifer LaBar-Tapia, she can’t say—at least that’s what she told the Santa Fe New Mexican. Something about a nondisclosure agreement that weirdly doesn’t apply to Atlanta or Boulder. Wild. As a reminder, officials from our own homegrown film fest wouldn’t mind Sundance coming to town. “I think only good for the Santa Fe International Film Fest could come out of something like that,” SFIFF Artistic Director and co-founder Jacques Paisner told SFR in May.
DEMYSTIFIED SCIENCE THEATER
The Albuquerque-based New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science is getting into the film game on Thursday, July 11 with its new series Science Fiction or Fact. Led by scientists, educators and other special guests, the series is meant to dig into the real or not-so-real elements of science fiction films, and it all kicks off with 1951 sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still. It’s about aliens. It’s about politics. It’s about robots. It’s about the Cold War, man. It’s also about learning, and the guest speaker provides a short talk before the screening in the museum’s Planetarium.

Rob Brezsny Week of July 3rd
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The “nirvana fallacy” is the belief that because something is less than utterly perfect, it is gravely defective or even irredeemably broken. Wikipedia says, “The nirvana fallacy compares actual things with unrealistic, idealized alternatives.” Most of us are susceptible to this flawed approach to dealing with the messiness of human existence. But it’s especially important that you avoid such thinking in the coming weeks. To inspire you to find excellence and value in the midst of untidy jumbles and rumpled complexities, I recommend you have fun with the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. It prizes and praises the soulful beauty found in things that are irregular, incomplete, and imperfect.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are coming to a fork in the road—a crux where two paths diverge. What should you do? Author Marie Forleo says, “When it comes to forks in the road, your heart always knows the answer, not your mind.” Here’s my corollary: Choose the path that will best nourish your soul’s desires. Now here’s your homework, Taurus: Contact your Future Self in a dream or meditation and ask that beautiful genius to provide you with a message and a sign. Plus, invite them to give you a wink with either the left eye or right eye.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Last year, you sent out a clear message to life requesting help and support. It didn’t get the response you wished for. You felt sad. But now I have good news. One or both of the following may soon occur. 1. Your original message will finally lead to a response that buoys your soul. 2. You will send out a new message similar to the one in 2023, and this time you will get a response that makes you feel helped and supported. Maybe you didn’t want to have to be so patient, Gemini, but I’m glad you refused to give up hope.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Fates have authorized me to authorize you to be bold and spunky. You have permission to initiate gutsy experiments and to dare challenging feats. Luck and grace will be on your side as you consider adventures you’ve long wished you had the nerve to entertain. Don’t do anything risky or foolish, of course. Avoid acting like you’re entitled to grab rewards you have not yet earned. But don’t be selfconsciously cautious or timid, either. Proceed as if help and resources will arrive through the magic of your audacity. Assume you will be able to summon more confidence than usual.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): All of us, including me, have aspects of our lives that are stale or unkempt, even decaying. What would you say is the most worn-out thing about you? Are there parts of your psyche or environment that would benefit from a surge of cleanup and revival? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to attend to these matters. You are likely to attract extra help and inspiration as you make your world brighter and livelier. The first rule of the purgation and rejuvenation process: Have fun!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): On those rare occasions when I buy furniture from online stores, I try hard to find sources that will send me the stuff already assembled. I hate spending the time to put together jumbles of wood and metal. More importantly, I am inept at doing so. In alignment with astrological omens, I recommend you take my approach in regard to every situation in your life during the coming weeks. Your operative metaphor should be this: Whatever you want or need, get it already fully assembled.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When Adragon De Mello was born under the sign of Libra in 1976, his father had big plans for him. Dad wanted him to get a PhD in physics by age 12, garner a Nobel Prize by 16, get elected President of the United States by 26, and then become head of a world government by 30. I’d love for you to fantasize about big, unruly dreams like that in
the coming weeks—although with less egotism and more amusement and adventurousness. Give yourself a license to play with amazing scenarios that inspire you to enlarge your understanding of your own destiny. Provide your future with a dose of healing wildness.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Your horoscopes are too complicated,” a reader named Estelle wrote to me recently. “You give us too many ideas. Your language is too fancy. I just want simple advice in plain words.” I wrote back to tell her that if I did what she asked, I wouldn’t be myself. “Plenty of other astrologers out there can meet your needs,” I concluded. As for you, dear Scorpio, I think you will especially benefit from influences like me in the coming weeks—people who appreciate nuance and subtlety, who love the poetry of life, who eschew clichés and conventional wisdom, who can nurture your rich, spicy, complicated soul.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The coming weeks will be prime time for you to re-imagine the history of your destiny. How might you do that? In your imagination, revisit important events from the past and reinterpret them using the new wisdom you’ve gained since they happened. If possible, perform any atonement, adjustment, or intervention that will transform the meaning of what happened once upon a time. Give the story of your life a fresh title. Rename the chapters. Look at old photos and videos and describe to yourself what you know now about those people and situations that you didn’t know back then. Are there key events from the old days that you have repressed or ignored? Raise them up into the light of consciousness.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1972, before the internet existed, Capricorn actor Anthony Hopkins spent a day visiting London bookstores in search of a certain tome: The Girl from Petrovka. Unable to locate a copy, he decided to head home. On the way, he sat on a random bench, where he found the original manuscript of The Girl of Petrovka. It had been stolen from the book’s author George Feifer and abandoned there by the thief. I predict an almost equally unlikely or roundabout discovery or revelation for you in the coming days. Prediction: You may not unearth what you’re looking for in an obvious place, but you will ultimately unearth it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarius-born Desmond Doss (1919–2006) joined the American army at the beginning of World War II. But because of his religious beliefs, he refused to use weapons. He became a medic who accompanied troops to Guam and the Philippines. During the next few years, he won three medals of honor, which are usually given solely to armed combatants. His bravest act came in 1944, when he saved the lives of 70 wounded soldiers during a battle. I propose we make him your inspirational role model for the coming weeks, Aquarius. In his spirit, I invite you to blend valor and peace-making. Synergize compassion and fierce courage. Mix a knack for poise and healing with a quest for adventure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What types of people are you most attracted to, Pisces? Not just those you find most romantically and sexually appealing, but also those with whom a vibrant alliance is most gracefully created. And those you’re inclined to seek out for collaborative work and play. This knowledge is valuable information to have; it helps you gravitate toward relationships that are healthy for you. Now and then, though, it’s wise to experiment with connections and influences that aren’t obviously natural—to move outside your usual set of expectations and engage with characters you can’t immediately categorize. I suspect the coming weeks will be one of those times.

Exploring Reality: Learning to Live Lightly
Santa Fe Women’s Club, 1616 Old Pecos Trail, Santa Fe
Tuesday at 6:00pm - 7:30pm
According to Buddha, if only we understood correctly how things actually exist, there would only be happiness and freedom. Our suffering arises from our misapprehension of how things exist. It is this ignorance of reality that causes us to become tight and develop the delusions of anger and attachment, which in turn gives rise to yet more suffering. In this series, we will explore the extraordinary chapter on emptiness from Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s book, The New Eight Steps to Happiness. Through talks, guided meditations, and discussions we will highlight how practical, joyful and creative the practice of integrating emptiness into our daily life can be.
Tuesday, July 2: The Emptiness of the Self (Part 1)
Tuesday July 9: The Emptiness of the Self (Part 2)
Tuesday July 16: How Everything Teaches Us Emptiness
