COVER STORY, JUNE 5: “SUMMER GUIDE”

SWIM, EAT, SKATE

Santa Fe has wonderful public pools with affordable prices, but unfortunately they have been operating part time or not at all in the last couple of years. Not mentioned in the article is that right now, Ft. Marcy pool is closed indefinitely, and GCCC pool is closed every afternoon, both because of lack of lifeguards. Bicentennial Pool and Salvador Perez Pool are both closed for repairs.

While repairs can be solved, the lifeguard shortage is a persisting problem. Apparently it is hard to find people willing to do this demanding job for a small hourly wage. This has caused our pools to be closed for long stretches of time

over the last couple of years, especially during the summer when they are most needed. Given how much the community has invested in our beautiful pools, and how important it is to enable everyone to acquire and practice swimming skills, it might be the time to upgrade the pay and benefits for lifeguards. Every year without pools creates a generation without sufficient swimming skills and further exaggerates the problem. Making lifeguard jobs desirable, and affordable swimming accessible, would decrease inequalities between those in Santa Fe who can afford club pools and spas listed in the article, and those who simply cannot.

New Mexico Alive program looks to improve low cardiac arrest survival rates through CPR

BY MO CHARNOT mo@sfreporter.com

As Sean Callin performs chest compressions on a CPR training manikin on the floor of her office, she watches the QCPR app on her phone, which measures the rate and depth of the compressions and gives her real-time feedback on how well she’s performing CPR. As the program manager for New Mexico Alive, a new health initiative in Santa Fe, Callin says the app has helped improve both her and her trainees’ ability to perform CPR correctly.

New Mexico Alive primarily focuses on decreasing the prevalence of one public health issue: out-of-hospital cardiac arrest deaths. Although heart disease-related deaths in New Mexico have been declining for the past few decades, it has a high out-of-hospital cardiac arrest mortality rate along with the rest of the US, which 2022 data places at nearly 90%.

Dr. David S. Rosen, who serves as the co-medical director for both the City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County fire departments, tells SFR he mined cardiac arrest data from both entities and estimates Santa Fe County’s out-of-hospital survival rate for cardiac arrest at between 4% to 5%.

With New Mexico Alive, Rosen plans to change that percentage drastically, and has set Seattle’s high cardiac arrest survival rate of 62% as a goal. In that city, Callin tells SFR, bystander CPR training played a major role in improving the stats.

“That’s something we’ve not had much of here in New Mexico,” Callin says. “There’s a huge disparity in care…we’d like [Santa Fe] to be a destination to receive good medical care, specifically cardiac arrest care.”

So far, New Mexico Alive has focused on providing training to local restaurant workers via partnering with the New Mexico Restaurant Association, as well as staff and students at Santa Fe Public Schools. In May

this year, Callin helped train 90 middle schoolers and several staff members from the New Mexico School for the Arts in CPR.

“We’ve gotten good feedback from everyone,” Callin says. “We put out a very basic survey when we do these trainings: who knows CPR and who would feel comfortable doing CPR before this training, and then measure the same metric post-training. It has pretty much been a 100% difference.”

Myrna Barbee-Lee, the lead nurse in the SFPS Office of Student Wellness, says she was “super grateful” when New Mexico Alive reached out to her in January this year to offer CPR training, because she was solely responsible for all CPR training in the district before partnering with the organization. This year alone, Barbee-Lee says, she certified approximately 90 bus drivers, nurses, security guards and health and educational assistants at SFPS. Since January, Callin has trained about 72.

“The need is far more than what I can teach as one person…it’s given us the chance

“We have paramedics and people that work on ambulances and with fire departments who we consider the first responders, but really, people in the community are the first responders,” Callin says. “Typically, it takes EMS and first responders five to six minutes, bare minimum, to get to a scene in Santa Fe. At that point, if someone hasn’t received CPR and they’re in cardiac arrest, their chances of survival have decreased 50% to 60%. If we could train high schoolers, people in the community and people at restaurants, we can easily up that number.”

We have paramedics and people that work on ambulances and with fire departments who we consider the first responders, but really, people in the community are the first responders .

-Sean Callin, New Mexico Alive Program Manager

to offer many more classes and get more people certified,” Barbee-Lee tells SFR. “It pretty much doubled the number of people who got certified, I would say.”

Callin stresses the importance of community members knowing CPR to potentially save lives, noting a statement from the American Heart Association that says immediate CPR can double or triple the likelihood of survival from cardiac arrest.

In fact, high school students have been required by law to know CPR in order to graduate in New Mexico since 2016, though Callin notes the law has not been enforced—as KOAT recently reported. This August, Callin will be training all of the health instructors at SFPS to incorporate CPR training into their classes, which Barbee-Lee says will give the teachers the most current evidence-based curriculum for teaching students CPR.

“I totally want to leverage my role in the schools to promote knowledge, to promote survival for our community,” Barbee-Lee says. “The folks you’re most likely to give CPR to are your own loved ones, so I think everybody can get on board with the idea that, ‘I can help save someone in my family or a close friend.’”

Rosen says they plan to expand New Mexico Alive’s work through funding they re-

cently received from the Anchorum Health Foundation—Christus St. Vincent’s community outreach arm—to Northern New Mexico and nearby pueblos. His plans for expansion go beyond CPR training, and he notes Santa Fe needs to better develop infrastructure for helping cardiac arrest victims.

“It takes a system of care to be put in place, so it’s not enough to have someone that’s trained to do CPR—you have to know where the defibrillator is, for instance,” Rosen says. “And once you know where it is, you have to know how to use it correctly.”

In addition to CPR training, New Mexico Alive helps students and staff practice using an automated external defibrillator, which Barbee-Lee notes SFPS’ Safety and Security Department keeps track of to ensure they are functioning and charged at each school in the district.

Rosen notes that giving residents an easy way to find the nearest defibrillator—such as on a map—would also help those experiencing cardiac arrest, and that one idea he has is to develop an app that notifies users nearby a cardiac arrest event (identified through a 911 dispatch center) and locates the nearest defibrillator as well.

“We currently have the luxury of having a lot of input into the Regional Emergency Communications Center, and that’s where it starts when someone’s having a medical emergency,” he says. “There’s all sorts of opportunities for us to go from 4% survival to 50% survival, and that’s a ripple effect, right? Every one person you save, how many lives are affected by that? How many anniversaries or weddings are attended, how many grandchildren have their grandparents around?”

New Mexico Alive Program Manager Sean Callin checks the accuracy of the chest compressions she performs on a CPR manikin with the QCPR app.

Studying Salaries

BY MO CHARNOT mo@sfreporter.com

More than three months after nearly a dozen faculty members at the Santa Fe Community College voiced concerns about their wages during a SFCC Governing Board meeting, the college has begun a compensation study.

“This is something we’ve known we needed to do,” SFCC President Becky Rowley tells SFR. “It’s a lengthy process, but we want to do it right, be as thorough as we possibly can and get the best data that we can. My pledge is to be as aggressive as we can be in meeting what the salary study reflects.”

Faculty pay in higher education also emerged during the most recent legislative session; House Memorial 32 died in committee, but would have tasked the Higher Education Department with conducting a compensation study for all higher-ed fulltime and temporary instructional staff.

Rowley, who first joined SFCC as president in July 2019, notes the college also began a compensation study that year, but quickly halted the process because “it was deeply flawed” in how it compared SFCC salaries to the salaries of similar jobs in the region.

“We’ve been planning to get it going again, but being able to do this well hinges on having a really good chief human resources officer, and we have sort of struggled over time until we got Donna [Castro],” she says. “We are always concerned about salaries, because jobs in higher education are often paid lower than their peers in other fields.”

Kate McCahill, an associate professor of English and the chair of the English and Communications Department, has worked for SFCC for more than a decade and describes her initial response to the compensation study as “wary,” due to the halted 2019 study.

She also describes an incident in 2022 in which SFCC’s union discovered a mistake in the pay matrix that affected employees in her pay category and led approximately $1,300 in underpayment per year. An email from the union confirms the union negotiated with the college and fixed the mistake, but were unsuccessful in negotiating for the affected faculty to be compensated for the lost wages.

“I’ve seen high turnover both in my department and across the college,” McCahill tells SFR. “We lose so many good folks, whether it’s at the interview stage when we share with them what their salary is or a cou-

SFCC starts compensation study to respond to faculty pay concerns

ple of semesters in, when reality hits.”

In the upcoming school year, the starting salary for full-time faculty with a bachelor’s degree will be $50,879 per year—about a 3% increase from last year’s starting salary.

In addition to the wage increase, Lenny Gannes, president of the union representing full-time faculty, reports the union successfully negotiated “retention awards” for fulltime faculty, which amount to $300 for each year they have taught at SFCC. For example, a faculty member with six years at SFCC would earn $1,800 on top of their salary just this year.

According to the MIT Living wage Calculator, one childless adult in Santa Fe County needs to earn about $48,589 per year.

McCahill has two children and says her “outlook on my role changed drastically when I had kids, because it’s a doable job if you have no one to support but yourself. But as soon as you have other responsibilities? I believe my professional opportunities have taken a hit. Affording childcare is prohibitive, and I think that’s something that a lot of faculty face.”

McCahill also notes many faculty members work second jobs to supplement their incomes. One such faculty member is sj Miller, a professor of teacher education who also works two adjuncting gigs and does consulting in addition to being a full-time faculty member.

“I pretty much work nonstop,” Miller tells SFR. “I’m stretched thin as it is. If I had one salary, I wouldn’t be. Ultimately, what’s not fair for my students is that while I put everything I can into my job, I also get burnt out working that much.”

ally experienced this, as administrators in her department typically try to fit adjunct professors into other classes to prevent them from losing work.

Castro, the school’s chief human resources officer, says SFCC’s study—to be conducted by Bolton Partners—will look at “the total package” when it comes to employee pay. Throughout June, Bolton Partners will meet with non-teaching staff, and the non-teaching staff study should take about 17 weeks to complete, according to Castro. Faculty will be interviewed when they return for the fall semester in August, and after those results are complete, Bolton partners will make recommendations for changing compensation.

“Typically, with a salary study, institutions cannot implement 100 percent of the recommendation on year one. It depends on the results and what the cost of that is,” Castro explains. “We want to retain our employees, and we want them to feel they are being compensated appropriately.”

Previously, Miller claims earning nearly $150,000 per year working for New York University, but decided to move back to Santa Fe to teach students in the community college’s Alternative Teaching Licensure program for K-12 teachers. Miller’s students often make approximately $50,000 teaching in those classrooms, which Miller reports making “barely over” as a professionally tenured professor with a PhD at SFCC.

“It’s demoralizing. It makes you feel under-appreciated,” Miller says. “I wanted to be home, and I wanted to be of service to this community and state through teacher development. It was a choice, but ultimately, I just wanted the freedom to be in my state and make a difference.”

Another class of employees who struggle with wages is the college’s adjunct faculty— temporary employees who are paid by the number of credit hours they teach in lectures, labs and studios. They also make up the majority of professors at the college.

Stephanie Amedeo Marquez, an adjunct professor who has taught social sciences since 2019 after retiring from Northern New Mexico College, says she earns about $2,200 for each three credit-hour class she teaches for the entire semester. Last semester, she earned $4,400 in 16 weeks for teaching two such classes.

Typically, SFCC assigns adjunct professors a class to prepare before a semester begins, but if not enough students are enrolled, the class is dropped.

“You’re not paid, and you don’t have a job that semester,” Amedeo Marquez tells SFR. Amedeo Marquez says she has not person-

Chief Strategies Officer Yash Morimoto says he doesn’t expect “a universal need” to increase every staff and faculty member’s pay to emerge from the compensation study, and instead anticipates specific specialties will likely be targeted.

“There’s certain fields—like nursing, for example—that it’s difficult for us to compete at the same level, but there’s other jobs at SFCC we think are probably appropriate,” Morimoto says. “That’s one of the reasons we wanted to do a salary study: to figure out which of the jobs are lower compared to our peers, our local market.”

Rowley notes the community college has “always struggled with pay,” and that she finds it unlikely the college will be able to “totally change the whole scale” for faculty and staff pay. However, she emphasizes that faculty and staff members have been involved in the process of hiring the firm, and that a committee of them selected Bolton Partners for the study.

“It’s really important for all of us that there’s buy-in for who we choose, and that way, we get to ask questions and things like that and feel like we’ve really selected the best vendor for us,” she says.

In a statement, Miller, who is chair of the SFCC Faculty Senate, expresses hope that once the study is complete, the college sets a new base salary and removes the set matrix that locks faculty and staff into a certain amount of money depending on union negotiations.

“We hope, ultimately, that people are paid equitably to what peer institutions are making, if not a little bit more, just because we’ve been behind for so long, these people have gone into debt to teach,” Miller says.

SFCC administrators say they are embarking on a salary study to address faculty wage concerns.

The Fast and the Furious

Santa Fe residents reckon with dangerous (and noisy) roads

BY EVAN CHANDLER evan@sfreporter.com

“Upon my arrival, I spoke to driver #1…[who] stated he was traveling westbound on Cerrillos Road in which he approached the intersection of Cerrillos Road and Baca Street. [The driver] stated as he entered the intersection he observed an orange in color vehicle making a left turn from Cerrillos Road onto Baca…he stated as the orange in color vehicle entered the intersection he tried to avoid colliding into it by swerving but the vehicle collided into his vehicle and sent him into the building.”

—Santa Fe police report

The call from the Santa Fe Police Department came mid-morning on Sept. 30 last year, just before Congeries Consignment owner Shawn Vallecillo would typically head to her store.

When she arrived, Vallecillo encountered a red truck that had crashed through her storefront. A police report from the incident—quoted above— says the car’s driver had swerved to avoid another vehicle turning into the intersection. Instead, the cars collided, sending the truck crashing through Vallecillo’s building.

After watching someone attempt to pry a sofa from the store floor from the truck’s bumper, she realized she had to relocate. The incident, after all, followed one the year prior in which one speeding driver had cut off another, sending one of the vehicles into the same part of the store.

“The road layout is just too dangerous,” Vallecillo says. “A customer or myself would have been killed if we had been on that side of the building.”

She eventually reopened her second location near Whole Foods Market, while the flagship store remains at 1368 Cerrillos Road and faces its own challenges, she says.

“There’s around nine parking spaces out front, but customers don’t want to park there anymore because they have to back out onto Cerrillos,” Vallecillo says. “The vehicles are just too fast.”

Vallecillo’s experience serves as just one example of those affected by a string of traffic behaviors on Santa Fe’s roads—most notably Cerrillos and Airport Roads—that locals—and

law enforcement—say have increased in recent years, while resources to address them remain stretched. Those behaviors led citizen action coalition Stop Aggressive Driving to recently lobby Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber and the City Council to prioritize traffic enforcement in next year’s budget. Vallecillo says Cerrillos Road business owners like her—and her customers—want something to give.

“There needs to be new laws or enforcement on mufflers, speeding and street racing,” Vallecillo says. “I mean, it’s ridiculous.”

“I was on patrol in full uniform, displaying my badge of office, and operating a fully marked Santa Fe Police Department patrol unit. I was traveling northbound on Zafarano Drive, approaching Cerrillos Road. I observed two large pickup trucks at the Cerrillos Road intersection, northbound on Zafarano Drive. I saw a large cloud of heavy white smoke behind the trucks and heard the tires on the trucks spinning their tires. I saw smoke coming from both vehicles.”

—Santa Fe Police report from June 2, 2023

In response to public outcry over dangerous roadways, SFR filed a public records request with the City of Santa Fe and SFPD for traffic-related incidents and complaints over the last two years. While the request was not fully answered by press time, officials returned roughly 50 police reports documenting various instances of drag-racing and other illegal driving activities.

In the one quoted above, Officer Laura Gluvna eventually pulled over one of the drivers and asked if he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol after observing his “excessive speed, running multiple red lights and racing another vehicle.” The driver informed Gluvna he had smoked cannabis earlier in the day and drank two beers “a long time ago.” Gluvna placed the driver under arrest, with the report noting the instance marked the third DWI on the man’s driving record. He also lacked insurance and had an expired registration. Other incidents include one last August in which a driver on Cerrillos Road was continuously accelerating at speeds beyond the posted 35 mph as an officer attempted to pass while en route to a call for service. Later that month, another driver was ticketed after being observed traveling south on Cerrillos Road side by side with another vehicle at speeds in excess of 100 mph. Yet another on on Zafarano and Cerrillos in September 2023 involved a vehicle speeding southbound on Zafarano “doing a burnout” (spinning tires to

cause smoke) while occupying two left turn lanes. When the officer observing the vehicle activated emergency equipment, the police report notes, “the vehicle continued a burnout while conducting a U-turn…striking a curb while the traffic light was red.” And so on.

In the last month alone, Santa Fe Police Department have noted a handful traffic incidents related to suspected racing and unsafe driving, including a racing incident mid-May that sent two people to the hospital and another May 26 in which a vehicle suspected of racing another struck a pedestrian non-fatally on Cerrillos Road.

Capt. Thomas Grundler, who oversees the traffic unit and DWI unit for the Santa Fe Police Department— among other responsibilities—tells SFR law enforcement has seen “a steady increase in traffic-related complaints throughout the city” since 2020. Police Chief Paul Joye notes the increased traffic problems come amid an overall increase in crime, with 2023 marking “our highest call volume here in recent history,” he tells SFR. “I can’t think of another year that was higher. We are already on track so far in 2024 to pass it, which impacts our availability to do traffic because that’s more calls for service that we’re responsible for. That’s free time we would have had to do traffic.”

As it stands now, Grundler says roughly 80% of the citations can be attributed to the department’s three traffic officers. Two of them work the day shift from 7 am to 5 pm, while one night officer handles 9 pm to 7 am.

According to Joye, those three traffic enforcement officers, along with one traffic sergeant, also serve as the department’s crash investigations team.

“We do have a handful of auxiliary traffic officers…they’ll also assist with traffic operations and crash investigations, but also, all of our officers are commissioned and able to enforce traffic laws, and they’re encouraged to do so when they’re not responding to calls for service,” Joye says.

Then there are the department’s traffic-centric operations, such as its 2020 “Slow and Quiet” operation downtown to curtail downtown drag racing and exhibition driv-

ing, and the recent Operation Spring Blitz, focused on dangerous driving behaviors, iterations of which happen seasonally. Those types of initiatives, Joye notes, are “department-wide operations that are open to any sworn officer.” All this to say, he emphasizes, “we have three officers whose primary focus is traffic, that doesn’t mean that there’s only three officers who enforce traffic law.”

During Operation Spring Blitz, between April 5 and May 3, officers issued 511 citations, including 57 for speeding; three for reckless driving and seven for muffler noise. While effective, Grundler notes such operations also tend to rely on over-time, itself an “increasingly difficult” prospect given ongoing staffing challenges. Furthermore, people don’t tend to understand the full job description, he adds.

“I know a lot of guys would rather be writing citations than taking a lot of calls for service,” Grundler says. Because those calls for service can lead to investigations, “and those take a considerable amount of time and energy to make sure they are done correctly.” They can also sometimes take as long as two weeks, depending on how complex they are, he notes.

“It becomes very difficult when you couple that with the fact that staffing levels on patrol in general have been challenging, the call volume is excessive at times,” he adds. “It becomes a situation where traffic can fall to the wayside only because we just don’t have the manpower to address it all at the same time.”

In other words: “We are more than

aware of it, and we definitely care,” Grundler says. “We just have limited resources.”

“At approximately 7 pm, police responded to a report of a multiple vehicle crash at Cerrillos Road and St. Michaels Drive. A witness told Dispatch that a vehicle had hit numerous vehicles on Cerrillos Road while racing and weaving through traffic, before running a red light and causing the crash. Officers arrived and found the northbound lanes of Cerrillos were blocked due to debris from the crash and the suspect vehicle. Fortunately there were no injuries reported. The suspect was seen fleeing the scene following the crash by witnesses. In total, seven vehicles were involved in the crash.”

—SFPD news release, Dec. 23, 2023

On May 28, the City of Santa Fe governing body held a special meeting to discuss spending priorities and invited public input. The meeting followed Mayor Alan Webber’s announcement the week prior that the city would be spending $56 million from surplus funds on one-time large projects, such as $3 million each to Midtown infrastructure and the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.

Several members of Stop Aggressive Driving—a citizen action coalition that formed in 2022—showed up to request investment in enforcing traffic laws and making

the roads safer—and quieter.

Tim Langley led off the entreaties with an extended metaphor:

“If I were diagnosed on the same day with hypertension, type-two diabetes and an abscessed tooth, I’d deal with the abscessed tooth first, not because it’s the most important or the most serious of my problems, but because it’s the most readily treatable. Santa Fe’s toothache is the city’s loss of control over its streets to a subset of unpredictable and aggressive drivers who speed, tailgate, run red lights and race all night long with illegal attack mufflers roaring. For a critical mass of our residents—they live everywhere from Airport Road to Hyde Park Road—living in our city has become an ordeal. Getting a good night’s sleep has become impossible. We don’t ask that these bad driving behaviors be made illegal; they’re already illegal. We ask that existing laws be enforced with enough consistency, duration and consequence to deter the offenders. Technology to monitor speed, sound, red light running, identify the offending vehicles and issue tickets to the registered

owners already exists.”

Earmarking “a modest slice” of the millions the city intends to spend on projects toward traffic-calming technology, he concluded, would “make a difference in the lives of city residents who are trying to obey the law.”

Regarding the noise component, the Council has been here before. In 2022, the body considered a proposal to hike fines for violating its existing traffic laws requiring that every vehicle have a muffler in good working order to prevent “excessive or unusual noise,” and which bans muffler bypasses, cutouts and similar devices that amp mufflers. A memo on the proposal at the time from Deputy Police Chief Matthew Champlin noted the increasing number of complaints “regarding the use of loud modified mufflers” in the city and their “direct impact on the quality of life in several areas of the city. This includes not only high pedestrian traffic and open commerce areas such as the Santa Fe Plaza, and downtown area,” he wrote, “but also residential neighborhoods throughout the city.”

The Council ultimately approved a compromise bill that raised fines, albeit not as much as had originally been proposed, due to concerns about the bill targeting younger motorists in certain parts of town. A proposed state law that would have prohibited modified mufflers died in committee at the following year’s legislative session.

SFPD enforcement of Santa Fe’s ordinance followed the increased fines. SFPD issued 30 muffler citations in 2022 versus 149 last year—the most the department has ever issued, Grundler notes. Officers have written 60 citations for muffler noise in 2024 so far, he adds.

Still, residents say the noise factor continues, and often accompanies dangerous behavior, critics say.

“It’s not just the noise problem,” SAD member Adam Wasserman tells SFR. “It’s a general dangerous and aggressive driving” behavior that accompanies the noise.

Santa Fe Motel & Inn General Manager Brian Graves tells SFR he has complained to the police about “aggravating” noise and speed issues down Cerrillos Road following complaints from employees and guests

whose rooms sit nearest to the main road.

“We don’t get too many complaints in general, but the ones we do get periodically are from loud mufflers,” Graves says. “[Drivers] come around the corner and they gut it. Even if they have to go 50 feet to the traffic light, they hit it pretty hard. And it is loud.”

Karen Gahr, a 22-year resident of Santa Fe who lives in a neighborhood near the Sage Hotel, also notes increased excessive muffler noise in the area. She tells SFR her concerns stem from having noisy and speeding cars in “a serious pedestrian area.”

“It’s a congested area, and it’s 35mph and they don’t understand that. It’s certainly unsafe. It’s certainly illegal. And it’s certainly extremely annoying,” Gahr says. “We’re letting the people that won’t comply with the law rule and make other people—the majority—uncomfortable.”

She recalls a racing incident that resulted in a car going across the intersection near her home and hitting the telephone pole. “I think our power was knocked out during that incident, so there’s a lot of radical stuff going on,” Gahr says.

She says she also supports the use of noise and speed cameras.

“If you’re not using technology, how can you possibly do any enforcement at all?” Gahr asked. “I just feel that the city is not truly paying attention, and these drivers are offending all the other people with the noise and the speeding.”

Police tell SFR they also support adding traffic enforcement technology, with both Grundler and Joye describing such equipment as “force multipliers” for limited police manpower that would “greatly affect driving behaviors” across the city.

“It’s completely unbiased. It doesn’t care who’s driving and doesn’t know who’s driving,” Grundler says. “It only reacts to the fact that you’re speeding over the preset limit and issues citations accordingly.”

Traffic safety, however, did not figure

Muffler and brake sounds reverberate down Cerrillos Road as cars drive by on a Friday evening.

heavily into the initial presentation for the one-time special sending, minus $350,000 for improved intersection marking and $85,000 for speed humps in the Calle Atajo neighborhood. Mayor Alan Webber says the FY25 budget, which the governing body approved earlier this month, includes $250,000 for the police—whose FY25 budget is just under $40 million— to contract with a vendor to review traffic technology options

Moreover, Council members displayed mixed reactions to the call for more speed cameras and the like. As SFR reported following the meeting, District 2 Councilor Michael Garcia supported the proposition to “invest in technology to keep our roadways safe,” and suggested investing $1 million—including the amount allotted within the FY25 budget—for noise and speed cameras.

“This is ultimately an issue that as we’ve heard loud and clear tonight, and it’s a concern for our residents,” Garcia said. “If we’re going to invest in resources, we need to invest in the quality of life as well for our residents.”

District 1 Councilor Signe Lindell, however, said she was less inclined to spend the onetime dollars on road-monitoring technology, noting “this is one-time money” for staff-informed recommendations, “and this is how they think we can get the greatest amount of traction for all of our constituents.”

Lindell, an original sponsor of the failed effort to jack first-time muffler offenses to $250 versus the $100 that eventually passed, tells SFR she doesn’t think the technology for noise cameras is as advanced as it is for speed cameras. “I’m all in for speed cameras,” she says. “But I’m more inclined to raise fines to feel actually punitive” when it comes

to noise,” she says, noting that the reoccuring costs associated with adding cameras could run into the millions.

That said, Lindell, who says she has actually attended race-car driving school twice (Bondurant Racing School in Phoenix, Arizona), is well aware of the dangers on Santa Fe streets. “They’re not as skilled as they think they are,” she says of the drivers racing on local roadways. “The technology of the cars is way past the skills of the drivers.”

As for Webber, he tells SFR he believes dangerous driving behaviors have “always been a challenge” in Santa Fe.

“I think that if you talk to people who are longtime residents, people driving dangerously or poorly is almost to the point where it’s—I hate to say it—it’s a standing joke,” Webber says. “I’ve had people or friends say, ‘Well, in Santa Fe, a yellow light is a suggestion and a red light is kind of a hint that you should stop,’ and it’s only funny until, like everything else, people get hurt, and then it’s not so fun.” ***

“Almost every day and into evening there are ‘street meets,’ where individuals engage in dangerous activities in the parking lot of the Santa Fe Fashion Outlets. These activities include ‘taking over’ the parking lot to engage in drag racing, drifting competitions, music competitions (loud car stereos), as well as public consumption of alcohol and marijuana. This is a near daily occurrence

and occurs over several hours, often until the early hours of the morning. I have reported this to PD, the management of the mall, as well as constituent services on multiple occasions. I am requesting immediate assistance with this issue.”

—City of Santa Fe constituent services complaint, March 2024

Numerous national reports show a rise in dangerous driving behavior and the perceptions therein coinciding with the 2020 onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a 2022 report, AAA said drivers self-reported increases in speeding, red-light running, drowsy driving and impaired driving from cannabis or alcohol between 2020 to 2021—a reversal from improvements in the years prior. Last year’s Travelers Risk Index from Travelers insurance company reported 70% of Americans surveyed said distracted driving was an increased problem from years prior, while a National Safety Council study shows a nearly 14% uptick in traffic accident fatalities last year compared to pre-pandemic numbers.

Local officials such as Grundler and the mayor also believe the uptick in problems on Santa Fe’s streets follows the pandemic lockdown.

“I think what may have happened was that people felt that COVID really interrupted their ability to be themselves and to have a presence and they had to live at home for two years, and the frustration has taken a number of different forms,” Webber says, noting the city also saw an increase in littering post pandemic. “People just said, ‘What the heck, it doesn’t matter,’ and I think the same thing has happened with driving and mufflers.”

Resident Molly Langley, who also spoke at the meeting, along with her husband Tim, tells SFR whatever the solution—fines, speed bumps, flashing signs—”doing nothing is not an option. When the landscape changes like it did, then we have to address it as a government matter and from the citizens’ perspective,” she says. “We have to meet the issue where it’s at.”

Webber says the city “gets the message” and understands “there are technological capabilities that we could implement.” But how that happens—the details—makes a difference, he says.

“We want to treat these kinds of citation situations with the appropriate people,” Webber says. “It’s kind of like having an alternative response unit to take up some of the work for dealing with social issues rather than having police do it.”

Stop Aggressive Driving coalition members agree, with member Wasserman saying such systems need to be “carefully designed”

SPRING BLITZ RESULTS

The Santa Fe Police Department wrapped up its latest traffic enforcement operation at the beginning of last month. The effort, coined “Operation Spring Blitz,” resulted in 511 total citations, according to Capt. Thomas Grundler. The operation lasted from April 5 to May 3.

and “there has to be lots of upfront communication with the public and telling people what we’re doing and allowing people’s voices to be heard. That’s critical to get any of these systems accepted by the public.”

Of course, the best solution, SFPD Chief Joye notes, is the simplest: “The most effective solution would be the behavior change of the folks out there that feel like it’s cool that are choosing to modify their vehicles,” he says. “How that became a popular trend, or how that became something fun to do, I don’t know. Maybe I’m too old, which is certainly possible. But ultimately, it lies with the people who are choosing to do it. It lies with behavior, and how do we get them, encourage them to change their behavior.”

Santa Fe Motel & Inn General Manager Brian Graves says he hears loud muffler noise around three times a day on average. The business sits across from CHOMP Food Hall on Cerrillos Road.

BRASS TACKS

Though the annual Juneteenth holiday to commemorate the end of slavery technically falls on June 19 each year, Santa Fe has the chance to celebrate a little earlier when Grammy-nominated New Orleans-based Hot 8 Brass Band comes to the Plaza for a free show on Saturday, June 15. A pitch-perfect melange of jazz, funk and hip-hop, the band has been making waves in recent years with its high-energy sound that somehow seamlessly merges traditional elements with contemporary without missing a beat. The festivities begin at 4 pm and run through the night with hip-hop from SpaceCadets, blues with Brotha Love and the Bluesristrocrats, West African drumming with Soriba Fofona, dance jamz with DJ Sol and, finally, Hot 8 Brass Band. (ADV)

Juneteenth Celebration 2024: 4-9 pm Saturday, June 15. Free. Santa Fe Plaza 63 Lincoln Ave., lensic360.org

AU NATURAL

Santa Fe is, of course, a foodie town, and where foodies tread, wine is sure to follow. With that in mind, and because there’s so much hubbub surrounding the now omnipresent world of natural wines, behold the upcoming event Dérive, a festival of sorts dedicated to natural wine and its makers at the Scottish Rite Center. Given the more than 30 tasting tables featuring vintners, importers and distributors, attendees are bound to find their new vino obsessions or, at the very least, leave armed with knowledge about the next big thing in wines. Word on the street is the event will feature 200 different wines to sample, so be sure to drink plenty of water, too. (ADV)

Dérive: Noon-4 pm Sunday, June 16. $40 Scottish Rite Center, 463 Paseo de Peralta derivesantafe.com

BANANARAMA

Toss this one on the list of semi-miraculous occurrences: Japanese two-piece art/punk/noise/experimental act Melt Banana is coming back to Santa Fe, and the show has somehow not sold out yet (as of this writing, anyway). Oh, make no mistake—Melt Banana isn’t really for those on the fence when it comes to avant garde sounds, but the powerhouse presence of Yasuko Onuki and Ichiro Agata deftly recalls the likes of The Locust, XBXRX and Polysics while forging its own niche within the punk rock pantheon. Yes, it’s going to get weird, but it might be just the thing for those sick of the same-old, same-old. Also? It rocks. It rocks so hard. (ADV)

Melt Banana: 7 pm Tuesday, June 18. $26 Meow Wolf, 1352 Rufina Circle, (505) 395-6369

Back Where They Belong

CURRENTS New Media Festival returns to the Railyard for its 15th year

Without casting aspersion on any iterations of the long-running progressive arts and tech festival CURRENTS—which in recent years took place at the Rodeo grounds and Center for Contemporary Arts—having this year’s festival return to El Museo Cultural in the Railyard where it all began just feels…right.

“We’re back where we belong,” co-founder Frank Ragano says with a laugh. “It definitely feels like a homecoming, and we’re in the middle of the install now, where everything is going great.”

Ragano quickly rattles off a long list of staffers and interns he says will make the upcoming nine-day fest possible for the 95 artists showing across this year’s crop of pieces. The show as a whole, he notes, incorporates a wide array of backgrounds, viewpoints and artistic desires, and CURRENTS should have something for everyone—from AR and VR to interactive elements, audio experimentalism, panels, performances, film and more. This year’s festival particularly emphasizes how artists can harness and work with AI. While many in the arts world are justifiably nervous about AI’s rising ubiquity, the tech-

nology can also be a helpful tool for those looking to innovate, he says, and several pieces will showcase that potential.

“We’ll have a variety, and…I know there’s a lot of schlock that people create with AI,” Ragano says, “but people are really learning how to use it in interesting and artistic ways.”

Beyond that, however, folks will have to attend the festival to see the rest of the good stuff spoiler-free. Of its exhibiting artists this year, 55 percent hail from New Mexico, Colorado and Texas, and collaboration seems to be the name of the game for the momentous addition to the CURRENTS legacy. Even cooler? CURRENTS only costs $10 for a one-off ticket; $15 for all-access entry and not a dang thing for folks under 20. Score one for arts accessibility. (Alex De Vore)

Before taking on a managerial role at three-year-old Canyon Road gallery Gaia Contemporary (225 Canyon Road, (505) 467-8363), University of Tennessee fine arts graduate Coleman O’Keeffe, 27, had his own painting practice to help lead the way, but also his Coal Enterprises branding business, which, he says, is how he connected with Gaia owners Ben and Kana Hauptman. In his new role, O’Keeffe says putting artists first is the name of the game. Oil painter Tania Dibbs’ String Theory exhibit (through June 30), opened last week and is O’Keeffe’s first curatorial effort at Gaia. This interview has been edited for clarity and concision.

(Adam Ferguson)

Younger people don’t often take on managerial roles at high-profile galleries. What do you think this says for the long-term at Gaia and/ or Canyon Road itself?

I’m very humbled by the opportunity. I know I’m joining the ranks of some of the best in the industry here in Santa Fe. I mean, Santa Fe is the highest standard in my opinion, in terms of holistic art processing and craftsmanship. Artists here are tapping into dimensionality that’s so far-out and beyond any sort of attempt made by other artists and other blockbuster art markets, and it’s just a more refined, preserved sensibility. I look forward to bringing my own tastes to these ranks. I also think that Santa Fe—and Canyon

Road in particular—has kind of been in a pretty stagnant state. I think most of the art world has. So, I’m looking forward to the opportunity to inject more ideas and new ways of platforming artists. Regarding Gaia as a gallery, I think these practices are reflected in our brand and our values. It’s a brand that just wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the integrity of our artists. So we’re still very much artists first. My job is just to create a platform with as much integrity as possible.

What’s your own background like and what do you hope to bring to the table?

My background truly started working as an assistant for artists in Los Angeles. And I really enjoy the process of creating a space for artists to bring their all to their process. It just proved to be this incredibly beautiful thing that I instantly recognized was greater than myself, and it was an honor to work with artists that kind of had that same reference for the process. So all I could really hope to do is, again, create a platform with as much integrity as possible so these artists feel as comfortable as possible to speak truths and to have these conversations and to share their visions with the world. I want them to feel comfortable, feel that they truly have autonomy within their creative process.

For what sorts of art or artists would you like Gaia to be known? Gaia specifically is more centered around organic sensibilities within contemporary artwork. So it’s appreciation of materials and an appreciation of natural elements as well. But what I’m searching for is just voices; voices that are truly contemporary, and contemporary meaning most present and relevant. So, when I say voice, it’s like, what voice is going to be heard at this time? Who’s truly speaking to what they see right now? Who’s really passionate? We’re platforming artists who are creating incredible atmospheres and using positive use of color. Our artists are really finding their peace within all of the insanity and within the relationship between the planet and the relationship with society. Those points of solace within their work is what they’re choosing to share here.

So Fresh and So Clean

FitMania adds to its meal prep services with Tibet Café sit-down eatery

BY ALEX DE VORE alex@sfreporter.com

The meal prep realm is sort of mystifying for people who don’t dive deep into the concept of fitness, but local trainer and nutritionist Palden Digkhang has built a name providing just such services. Those simply looking for a bite to eat, however, should know Digkhang recently expanded his fitness-based meal prep business FitMania with a broader menu of dishes available for dine-in and take-out, and they all adhere to the same philosophy as the prepped dishes; namely, he serves fresh, clean food for the health conscious that also works for the plain old hungry throngs.

And so it came to pass that I found myself in Tibet Café one recent evening poring over Digkhang’s menu with a companion in tow. Full disclosure? Because Digkhang is a certified trainer and nutritionist, I didn’t expect much beyond bland and boring. By the time I left, however, I considered myself a convert, though there are, of course, caveats.

At first blush, Tibet Café seems lacking in ambiance. Perhaps this has something to do with the operating hours of noon-7 pm Monday through Saturday (it closes at 6 pm on Sundays), but it’s not always easy to do dinner when the sun’s still up—y’know, emotionally speaking. Beyond that, my companion and I were the only customers around at the time, and we agreed that Tibet Café doesn’t

have much of an environmental identity. Comfort is king in restaurants, and a little bit of decoration or consideration can go a long way. At Tibet Café, you’ll find a small handful of four-top tables near cold cases brimming with prepped meals, and a number of shelves lining the walls stocked with protein pow der and microwaves. That latter item surely plays a role in the FitMania meal prep side of the business, but isn’t exactly the sort of thing one wants to see when they’re gearing up for a sit-down dinner.

Still, when Digkhang appeared to bring us drinks, he was ob viously super-fit, so maybe he knows something we don’t. At any rate, the microwaves didn’t come into play during our meal, for which we were thankful. Instead, we discov ered one of my favorite treasures of the culinary world—the unassuming hole in the wall that serves up killer dishes with very little preamble.

Tibet Café’s menu proved a no-nonsense affair across six entrees, including beef, chicken or veggie momo (dumplings, basically); veggie- or meat-fried noodle and rice dishes; beef, chicken, egg or tofu thupka (a Tibetan soup); and the shapta combo with beef, chicken or rice tingmo (a steamed bread/bun type item). Ordering the beef momo ($12.99-$14.99) was a no-brainer as it came with a beef bone soup to start, and since we’d doubled down on beef straight away, we ordered the veggie-fried noodles and veggie-fried rice to share ($11.99 and $10.99 respectively). The soups came immediately and provided a strange comfort food

vibe. You’d think hot soup on a hot day would be a nightmare, but Digkhang clearly knows his way around a simple soup done well. Pro tip? It’s worth the extra $2 to get the momo fried. Each order clocks in at eight pieces, which is, frankly, generous and more than enough to stand as a meal on its own, especially with the soup; think a breadier and

amount of added salt, the earthy flavors of carrots and borderline richness of the peas began to unfurl in a way that felt almost similar to tasting something for the first time in a long while. Salt, while glorious, can mask true flavors when wielded without care. Digkhang, however—and likely because he’s a trainer and nutritionist—gave us what our bodies wanted and needed without the misery of salt bloat. In fact, we both felt great all night and into the following day.

almost spongier type of dumpling than you might get at a Chinese restaurant, only with the added bonus of crispy edges from the frying. The beef inside was cooked to a satisfying medium and brimming with clean, non-greasy flavor—and that’s actually the true excellence of Tibet Café. Like our main momo dish, the noodles and the rice were both fried, yet they tasted so fresh and clean. At first, just about every dish seemed under-seasoned, but without a mountainous

Before we left, we split an order of rice pudding ($5.99). While the dusting of cinnamon and crushed pistachios did their best, this dessert was ultimately underwhelming. Tibet Café also offers cheesecake and boba—not that boba constitutes a dessert per se, but it’s certainly a fun treat from time to time and easy for takeout. In fact, Tibet Café might best be thought of as a takeout spot. I’ll look forward to seeing how it evolves in the coming months, but I sincerely can’t remember the last time I ate at a restaurant without feeling at least a little over-fed in the hours (or sometimes days) that followed. Actually, maybe it would be wise to look into Digkhang’s meal prep services, because it turns out eating healthy is good for you. Who knew?

The beef momo at Tibet Café satisfies without being over-salted or greasy.

I Used to Be Funny Review

Rachel Sennott does drama just as well as she does comedy

BY ALEX DE VORE alex@sfreporter.com

The last time we heard from the talented Rachel Sennott, she was starring alongside The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri in last year’s Bottoms, a queered-upped and stylized takedown of the teen sex comedy. Before that, Sennott made waves in 2020’s brilliant yet anxiety-forward Shiva Baby. In both cases, Sennott tapped into her funny bone for nuanced and hysterical performances; in her new film I Used to Be Funny from writer/director Ally Pankiw, Sennott proves she’s every bit as adept at drama as she is at comedy.

Sennott plays stand-up comic Sam in the aftermath of some PTSD-inducing event she endured while working her day job as an au pair for a cop’s kid. Though we don’t know precisely what happened for a healthy chunk of the film, we do quickly learn Sam believes she’s been unable to be funny since it all went down—she can barely even leave the house. Sam’s situation grows even more intense when her former charge (Olga Petsa) goes missing, leaving her to grapple with whether or not she needs to become involved.

Pankiw’s script cleverly doles out expositional breadcrumbs over time, particularly as each new bit of information consistently recontextualizes both present-day and flashback scenes that illustrate Sam’s

FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA

7 + HEMSWORTH BRINGS IT; THE ACTION, - FURIOSA HERSELF FEELS ONE-DIMENSIONAL; MORE CGI THAN NOT

Whereas the seemingly never-ending glut of cinematic sequels, prequels, reboots and retakes has grown tedious in recent years, it’s at least mildly interesting that legendary Australian director George Miller has entered what we might call a revitalized era with new entries in his enduring Mad Max series. Nine years back, we got the most excellent and explosive Mad Max: Fury Road; now we have Miller’s first-ever offshoot/prequel—Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Therein, the now-ubiquitous Anya Taylor-Joy (The Menu) shares the role of the enigmatic Furiosa, a role originated by Charlize Theron in 2015’s Fury Road, with the young Alyla Browne (The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart). In short, our heroine is kidnapped straight away by the nefarious Dementus (Chris Hemsworth, Thor), a gloriously strange villain with designs on the wasteland’s only viable settlements: Gastown, the Bullet Farm and the Citadel, a city-state of sorts run by the imposing Immortan Joe (a role originated by Hugh Keays-Byrne—Toecutter from the original Mad Max in Fury Road, but here played by Lachy Hulme following Keays-Byrne’s 2020 death). In short, he who controls the gas and bullets controls the Wasteland; cue all-out post-apocalyptic war as Furiosa comes of age while experiencing a version of the Hero’s Journey (™).

On the face of it, Furiosa reads like your average revenge tale: A wronged party driven by violent lust takes down those who crossed her. In the nitty-gritty,

journey. This tack makes each exchange feel loaded in retrospect without the sting that comes when a director underestimates an audience’s patience. That tense run-in with the ex (Enis Esmer) during which Sam seemed so selfish, so standoffish? Totally understandable in the long-run. The way she practically sprints out of a coffee shop when she encounters her former boss’s sister? Makes perfect sense, as do numerous other examples.

A capable enough cast of supporting characters surrounds Sennott, including roommates and fellow comics Paige (Sabrina Jalees) and Philip (Caleb Hearon), who pop in briefly to deliver pithy lines about ACAB and wokeness and trauma. While these characters can feel like little more than sounding board plot devices, they do at least aid in fleshing out Sam’s character (you can tell a lot about someone from the company they keep and all that), and the

BONUS FEATURES

however, it’s a parable for innocence lost. Wrenched from the goodness and abundance of youth, Furiosa loses little pieces of herself until there’s almost nothing left—but glimmers of hope remain.

Taylor-Joy is all well and good as the singularly-minded warrior, but Furiosa is ironically Hemsworth’s film. Unshackled by Marvel Studios’ rigid morality, he’s a delight as the unhinged Dementus, and he straddles a combination of broken man with dark-yet-unknown backstory and playfully violent trickster; almost like Heath Ledger’s iconic performance as The Joker in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight. Against his intriguing Dementus, Furiosa feels underdeveloped. Still, as it’s a Miller film, the bonkers automotive action meshed with the insanity of survival steals the show and leaves little time for character study. Furiosa doesn’t quite hit the dizzying highs of Fury Road’s nonstop carmageddon, but it does bust out the stunts at a frenzied pace. If that’s your thing, then congratulations. If you’ve not kept up with Mad Max, especially Fury Road, however, you might well be lost. Maybe it’s best, though, to just sit back and watch stuff explode. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 148 min.

WE CHOOSE FLIGHT

New Mexico Film Office head Amber Dodson announced last week the Dolph Lundgren/Michael Jai White film Fight or Flight recently wrapped up filming in Ruidoso. If you know those actors’ names, it’s likely because you, too, saw both Universal Soldier and Spawn at some point in the ‘90s. Fight or Flight is about an assassin who falls for a target and goes on the lam for

same goes for scattered glimpses into Sam’s previous stand-up sets and her takes on sex positivity, misogyny, violence against women and gender politics. By the time Funny reveals the terrible exchange upon which everything hinges, the reveal isn’t particularly surprising, though it contains a certain art in its portrayal of the borderline mundane, albeit sudden ,nature of life-altering events. What does it say that certain tragedies feel almost humdrum in the grand scheme of life? Funny doesn’t wrap up neatly, then, though it does conclude with a glimmer of hope that time can heal, at least a little bit, when we face down our demons rather than allow them to consume us.

love. For the record, if we were trying to hide from the world, we’d probably go to Ruidoso as well.

CHACO-LICIOUS

In broad strokes, Chaco Culture National Historical Park represents a swath of the American Southwest where Pueblo people lived for a couple thousand years, and to this day continues to offer mysteries for researchers, artists and visitors. If you’d like to know more, simply pop by the Center for Contemporary Arts (1050 Old Pecos Trail, (505) 982-1338) at 5 pm on Wednesday, June 12 or 5 and 6:30 pm on Thursday, June 14 for a $10-$13 screening of Written on the Landscape: Mysteries Beyond Chaco Canyon

The new doc (and third in the Chaco Canyon trilogy of films) focuses on the architecture of the area and, if you attend Thursday’s screening, producer Anna Sofaer will participate in a post-show Q&A. The screening is part of the CCA’s Mysteries of Chaco Canyon series, produced in conjunction with the consortium of archaeologists, archaeoastronomers, geodesists and remote sensing experts from the Solstice Project.

RIP AND TEAR

Hey, horror fans—if you’ve not been listening to the horror film-centric Splice and Splatter podcast from George “Royally Regal” Martin’s Highgarden Entertainment, you’re missing out. Full disclosure, co-host Siena Sofia Bergt is a former SFR employee, but they’re also a filmmaker and film lover with insights about the horror genre who co-hosts with Al LaFleur. Check out the recent Texas Chainsaw Massacre

episode to see what’s what. It’s worth it.

IT’S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS! Speaking of GRRM, his Beastly Books bookshop next door to Jean Cocteau Cinema hosts a series of events dedicated to The Legend of Zelda this week, at which folks can swing by the bookshop during normal hours to play the legendary (pun very much intended) game via literal NES consoles. This precedes the 7 pm, Saturday, June 15 screening at the Jean Cocteau Cinema (418 Monteuma Ave., (505) 466-5528) of the documentary Break the Game from filmmaker Jane M. Wagner about gamer/streamer Narcissa Wright’s love affair with all things Zelda and the challenge in coming out as trans. The theater also hosts a live speedrun of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild following the screening, and if those words don’t mean anything to you, that’s fine—they’re not for you, then.

SPEAKING OF SPEED...

Meanwhile, across the Railyard at Violet Crown Cinema, find two more screenings of the muchballyhooed 1998 film Run Lola Run from director Tom Twyker (1:30 and 8:45 pm Thursday, June 13. $14-$16. 1606 Alcaldesa St., (505) 216-5678). It’s a complicated movie to be sure, but might best be described as a thought experiment positing that even the slightest derivation in time (and we’re talking literal seconds sometimes) might change everything in the course of a day or life. Fun fact? Star Franke Potente would go on to star in 2002 film The Bourne Identity, a franchise famously ruined later by Jeremy Renner and Julia Stiles.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The term “maze” has various meanings. Most commonly, it signifies a puzzling cluster of choices that lead nowhere and bode frustration. But there are more positive meanings of the word. In ancient myths, a maze was where heroes underwent ritual tests. There they might summon ingenuity to win access to a hidden treasure. In modern psychology labs, the maze is a structure used to stimulate learning in rats. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the maze you are now in is metaphorically akin to the second two meanings, not the first.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There is an abundance of good news, Taurus. In the coming weeks, your conversations could awaken realizations that will augment your wealth—both the financial and emotional kind. So be eager to commune with vigorous souls who inspire your power to attract resources and goodies. Furthermore, you could generate enriching benefits for yourself by engaging with unfamiliar influences that are outside your web of expectations. Don’t be too sure you already know everything you need. Helpful surprises could arrive if you’re extra open-minded.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Though 2024 isn’t even half over, you have already earned the title “Least Boring Zodiac Sign of the Year.” Or maybe a more positive way to frame it would be to award you the title “Most Scintillating, Interesting, and Stimulating Zodiac Sign of the Year.” Please keep doing what you have been doing, Gemini. Entertain us with your unruly escapades and gossip-worthy breakthroughs. Encourage us to question our dull certainties and dare us to be more fun. If we seem nervous to be in your stirring presence, disarm our worries with your humor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your subconscious mind is full of marvelous capacities and magic potencies. But it also contains old habits of feeling and thinking that influence you to respond to life in ways that are out of sync with what’s actually happening. These habits may sabotage or undermine your conscious intentions. Now here’s the good news: In the next nine months, there’s a lot you can do to dissolve the outmoded imprints. You will have more power than ever before to perform this wizardry. So get started! How? Ask your subconscious mind to send you intuitions about how to proceed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The fairy tale “Jack and the Beanstalk” will serve as a prime metaphor for you in the coming weeks. Ruminate on its themes as being applicable to your life. I’ll refresh you with the main points of the story. Young Jack and his mother need money, so she decides to take drastic measures. She bids him to sell the family cow at the marketplace a few miles away. But on the way into town, Jack meets a man who coaxes him to sell the cow in exchange for magic beans—not money. When Jack returns home, his mother is angry at his foolishness. In disgust, she flings the beans out the window into the dirt. Later, though, the beans live up to their promise. They grow into a giant beanstalk that Jack climbs to reach the lair of a giant who lives in the clouds. There Jack retrieves three of his family’s lost treasures, which had been stolen by the giant long ago.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Before the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the third century BCE, Chinese people had built many local walls designed to keep out invaders. Qin Shi Huang initiated a great public works project to connect all of these fragments into what’s now known as the Great Wall of China. He also erected a vast system of roads and a city-sized mausoleum filled with the Terracotta Army: sculptures of 8,000 soldiers with their chariots and horses. Qin Shi Huang was a big thinker who was also highly organized! In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to glide into your very own Qin Shi Huang phase. What long-lasting structures do you want to build in the next 11 months?

Week of June 12th

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Psychologist Carl Jung believed we could accomplish profound selftransformation by working hard on our psyches’ unripe and wounded aspects. That might entail honest selfexamination, objective observation of how we affect others, and a willingness to recognize and forgive our mistakes. Jung also recommended another way to heal our neuroses: through the power of numinous experiences. By “numinous,” he meant mystical, sublime, or awe-inspiring. Jung said that such visitations could radically diminish our painful habits of mind and feeling. They might arrive through grace, thanks to life’s surprising interventions. They may also be coaxed to appear through meditation, dreamwork, communing with myth and fairy tales, and spiritual practices. I foresee a wealth of numinous events in your life during the coming months, Libra. May they bring you a steady stream of healing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In a moment, I will list events I foresee as being possible for you during the next 11 months. They are cosmic tendencies but not cosmic mandates. Whether or not they actually occur will depend on how you wield your willpower—which, by the way, could be freer and more muscular than it has been in a long time. Now here are the potential developments. 1. An offer to create one of the most symbiotic unions or robust collaborations ever. 2. Great chances for you to capitalize on the success of others. 3. Alterations in the family configuration. 4. Major shifts in loyalty and affinity. 5. A raise in rank. 6. Revelations of secrets you can use to your advantage.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have you been metaphysically itchy and psychologically ticklish? Are you unsure whether those tingling sensations you’re feeling are worrisome symptoms or signs of healing and awakening? I believe they are signs of healing and awakening. They suggest you are doing the metaphorical equivalent of what a snake does when it sheds its skin. Expect imminent redemption, Sagittarius! Reframe the discomfort as a herald of relief and release.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s time for Super Mom to make an appearance. Some circumstances in your life could benefit from healing tweaks best initiated by her. And when I say “Super Mom,” I’m not necessarily referring to your actual mother. I’m envisioning a wise older woman who sees you as you really are and who can assist you in living your destiny according to your own inner necessity, no one else’s. If you have no Super Mom in your world, see if you can locate one, even hire one. I also recommend creating an inner Super Mom in your imagination. You need and deserve sympathetic input from the archetype of the sage crone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I suspect that later in 2024, I will authorize you to commune with boisterous adventures and tricky risks. But right now, I advise you to flirt with modest adventures and sensible risks. Can you contain your burning, churning yearnings for a while? Are you willing to coax your crazy wild heart into enjoying some mild pleasures? By early autumn, I’m guessing you will have done the necessary preparations to successfully roam through the experimental frontiers. Until then, you are most likely to corral X-factors on your behalf if you pace yourself and bide your time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Oh God, if there is a God, save my soul, if I have a soul.” That prayer was the handiwork of Piscean philosopher Joseph Ernest Renan. If his ironic minimalism is the only spiritual aspiration you can manage right now, so be it. But I hope you will strive for a more intimate, expansive, and personal connection with the Divine Intelligence. The coming weeks will be an extra favorable time for you to speak and listen to mysterious powers beyond your rational comprehension. Please take advantage! Go in quest of the sweet, deep lowdown directly from the Sublime Source!
