“CITY OF SANTA FE SEEKS PROPOSALS FOR FORMER WAREHOUSE 21 SPACE IN RAILYARD”

HERE’S A BIG THOUGHT

Is it just me or is three weeks an unethical amount of time to give citizens to submit RFPs for the use of a centrally-located 17,000 square-foot building?

With only one week’s notice for a onetime tour of the building?

And then ask respondents to be “thinking big”?

The city should just admit if they’ve already given lots of their time and resources to some pre-ordained organization.

How about the city thinking big about their own community and putting the big money where their big mouth is?

Such as leasing at affordable rates for worthwhile community organizations or some other creative supportive ideas.

Please god say it ain’t Meow Wolf. I’ll scratch my eyes out while meow-yowling if they’re the secret shoe-in respondent.

“RESIDENTS URGE CITY TO INVEST IN MAKING STREETS SAFER”

WHAT ABOUT OUR SPEED BUMPS?

They approved $85,000 for speed humps on Calle Atajo. We [North Jemez Road] have been applying for speed humps along with this street for years. Both of our streets have traffic and speeding, but ours is more narrow. I don’t understand how they can approve one and not the other. The traffic now will be pushed to our street even more because of the traffic mitigation on that street. We need the same traffic mitigation since we have the same exact problem. We were told they can’t approve one without approving the other. They also told us once annexed into the city, our street would definitely qualify. We put in all the paperwork over 15 years but they assign some number index that totally does not represent what is occurring on our street so they can deny us. I don’t understand how we are denied and they are approved? I guess they are waiting for someone to be killed before they take us seriously. I hope they approve the speed humps now since they approved Calle Atajo. They have the same criteria we do.

Detecting Danger

Capital High science club students design tool to respond to gun violence

BY MO CHARNOT mo@sfreporter.com

As the threat of school shootings continues to loom over the country—with EducationWeek reporting 18 shootings resulting in five deaths and 27 injuries in 2024 so far—a team of students in Capital High School’s Computer Science Club have been working on technology that could help in such situations: a robotic gunshot detection system they named SCOOBY (after Scooby-Doo).

The club’s mentor and electronics expert Dave Ritter originally brainstormed the project; Ritter has been working with computer science teacher and club sponsor Barbara Teterycz and Capital High students for the past four years to show them “the possibility of a career in electronics.”

“In a Zoom meeting [with the students and Teterycz], I mentioned I’d seen in the papers that morning that there was a big school shooting,” Ritter tells SFR. “In a school shooting, the first thing that happens is a loud sound, and basically no one in the building knows what it is—it could be anything, and they don’t know where it came from. So, I said, ‘I think we could solve that with technology. Are you guys interested in that?’ And they were.”

Edward Scott, who led what was then a team of three students, says he felt the issue was of utmost importance, relating that the project was introduced to him and the other club members—Craig Andree Abajo and Jesse Burch—almost exactly a year after the May 24, 2022 school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, which resulted in the deaths of 19 students and two teachers, alongside 17 injured.

“With Uvalde, they struggled actually finding the shooter, and it took a while to go in,” Scott tells SFR. “With SCOOBY, we could let the officials know where the

shooting exactly is, what room they’re in and how many shots they fired.”

As a student who had recently moved to the area from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where school shootings are rare, Andree Abajo tells SFR he was “grateful” for Ritter’s suggestion.

“When I came here, I was super afraid of school shootings,” Andree Abajo says. “Not only would this make people feel safe, but it would keep them safe.”

When designing SCOOBY, the students connected a few microphones to a small Arduino Nano computer.

Throughout the summer, they learned how to code a processor that listens to the microphones and tested it repeatedly. When researching for the project, Ritter says he and the students found the closest way for the students to test SCOOBY’s abilities is to inflate balloons until they burst, which produces a sound similar to gunshots in length and noise level.

“It was such a great idea, because it’s a wonderful solution to a problem that our

W hen I came here, I was super afraid of school shootings . Not only would this make people feel safe, but it would keep them safe.

-Craig Andree Abajo, student

nation’s really plagued with, because every day I’m wondering, ‘Is a shooter going to come in?’” Scott says. “In my freshman year, there was one morning where there was a lockdown because a kid took a gun to the parking lot. I remember that really well.”

The project took inspiration from the Shotspotter, a gunshot detection system several large cities use to detect, locate and alert law enforcement of potential gunshot sounds. However, the Shotspotter

has been continuously criticized for its high cost and low accuracy in detecting gunshots—including in Albuquerque— so Ritter, Teterycz and the students utilized inexpensive parts that would set the unit price under $100, making it more affordable to schools, and used a 2011 paper from the Acoustical Society of America to study gunshot sound characteristics.

Throughout the year, four more students joined the Computer Science Club and contributed heavily to the project—Raúl Alvarado, Britny Marquez, Haize Christiansen and Jordan Minh Lam.

Alvarado says when he joined, he felt the project’s focus on solving a real-world issue “really hit my core values.” Christiansen, who joined the project in early September after hearing about it from Andree Abajo and Burch, says he “got super invested” in the work.

“I’ve always liked stuff like this, so I figured, now I have an actual opportunity to work on it,” Christiansen tells SFR. “If we can help even in a small way, even just by bringing some sort of awareness to it, that’s already doing a big thing to help prevent it.”

Several students involved in the SCOOBY project had little experience in coding, and Ritter says the students impressed him with how quickly they caught on.

“We had a session where we hooked some LEDs on this processor for the prototype SCOOBY, and I wanted them to

write code to blink the LED lights,” Ritter says. “Jesse [Burch] never had a coding course, not even Python. You can imagine the kind of intellectual leap you have to take to understand what code is and modify it. At the end of the session, he got it working. When I looked at it, I was just shocked, because it was completely different from either what I had done or what everyone had done, and it was beautiful.”

After completing the project and entering several state competitions, the students won several awards and finalist positions, including Samsung Solve for Tomorrow; the Governor’s STEM Challenge; the Congressional App Challenge in New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District; and this year’s Supercomputing Challenge.

“This is just amazing,” Teterycz tells SFR. “In one year, they’ve had so many achievements, so much learning—and I’ve never had such a huge team.”

The students plan to further improve SCOOBY this summer and in the upcoming school year. Alvarado intends to build a supercomputer out of Raspberry Pi computers that will train AI to help SCOOBY better detect gunshots; others want to add cameras to point in the direction from which SCOOBY detects gunshots.

“In the beginning, they need you a lot to give them guidance, but at some point they kind of take over the project, and then it’s their project and I’m just here, giving a little advice here and there,” Ritter says. “It’s a strange feeling, but it’s exactly the kind you want to have.”

Raúl Alvarado and Haize Christiansen demonstrate how SCOOBY detects the location of a sound after the club’s other members pop a balloon across the room.

Ah, summer in Santa Fe. Are there more beautiful words for the people who live here? Not likely, because this is a town that knows how to do summertime right. OK, we do winter pretty well, too, but you can practically hear the energy humming in the streets with anticipation—it’s warmer, there’s more to do and the evenings are drop-dead gorgeous. But with the entire city coming alive with gusto, how do we even begin to make the most out of the next

three months? A little planning goes a long way, and we’re here to help. Within our 2024 Summer Guide, find plenty of suggestions for catching films, concerts and other events. Or maybe it’s time to pack up the car for a day trip out of town. You’ll meet people who ride bikes or skate by night, find Santa Fe Opera tailgating prompts and discover a gallery show or two (or three) worth your time. There’s more where that came from, too. Read on. —Alex De Vore

5 DAY TRIPS FOR FAMILIES

BY EVAN CHANDLER

Yes, Santa Fe is amazing. With its stunning views, cultural charm and many museums, it’s easy to plan a day of activities in the City Different. But let’s face it: Everyone needs a new experience here and there. Maybe you’re someone considering a day trip away from Santa Fe with the family, but you’re unsure where to go. Lucky for us, New Mexico has tons to do outside of Santa Fe, even for families that include kiddos. If you’re considering a day away from our capital city, here are five ideas for where you and your family can go to pass the time, learn something new or just have fun.

Tinkertown Museum

121 Sandia Crest Road, Sandia Park (505) 281-5233

This 22-room museum, located roughly 20 minutes outside of Albuquerque, offers 40 years worth of art to its visitors. Miniature wood-carved figures dating back to the 1960s and ‘70s, wagon wheels, old-fashioned storefronts and other exhibits fill both the inside and outside of the museum. Families can also view a 35-foot antique wooden sailboat during their trip, or have their future predicted for just one quarter. Tinkertown Museum offers reservations for group tours for schools and summer camps on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Kids under 4 and visitors who use wheelchairs enter free, while kids ages 4 to 16 pay $3. Those 17 and above pay $6.

Bandelier National Monument

15 Entrance Road, Los Alamos (505) 672-3861

If your family has a love for the outdoors, look no further than the Bandelier National Monument. This 33,000-acre site near Los Alamos can serve as a day trip or an overnight stay, as family campgrounds are available. Apart from this, visitors can explore trails full of beautiful scenery and wildlife. Also, find Ancestral Pueblo dwellings carved into mountain walls and ponder the rich history of New Mexico. Entrance passes typically range from $15-25 and are valid for seven days with included access to all areas of the park. Children 15 years or younger enter free.

Explore museums, camp outdoors or visit space

New Mexico Museum of Space History

3198 State Route 2001, Alamogordo (575) 437-2840

The Alamogordo-based Museum of Space History has exhibits on rockets, living and working in space and the International Space Hall of Fame. While you’re there, stop by the New Horizons Dome Theater and Planetarium and grab a ticket to catch a show. This trip provides both education and entertainment as you learn about space science in New Mexico, walk through a gallery that shows the history of the satellite and more. Prices for a show range from $6-8. Tickets to enter are $6 for children and $8 for those ages 13 and up. Children 3 and under are free.

Outdoor Activities in the Rio Grande w/ New Mexico River Adventures

2217 NM-68, Embudo, (800) 983-7756

We know: New Mexico lacks water, so aquatic activities can seem unrealistically out of reach at times. But for families that love a day trip involving a little bit of our most precious resource, consider spending time on the Rio Grande. New Mexico River Adventures offers guided tours and lessons in rafting, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, among other activities. Explore the fifth-longest river in North America and learn something along the way. Prices range from $60 to $110 dollars for rafting trips, depending on if you plan to spend a full day or a half day.

Explora Science Center and Children’s Museum of Albuquerque

1701 Mountain Road NW, Albuquerque (505) 600-6072

If you don’t feel like going terribly far away on your day trip, our state’s largest city offers its own fair share of attractions for families looking to get away from Santa Fe. This museum and science center has interactive exhibits, hands-on activities and more. Children who visit can learn about math, water, gravity, light, bubbles, electricity and other topics. Tickets for those 12 and up cost $11, while children ranging from 1 to 11 pay $7.

SUMMER AT THE CINEMA

Beat the heat in a nice cool theater this summer

BY ALEX DE VORE

When the sun hangs high and you need a little escape, hitting a movie theater for entertainment and popcorn therapy provides unparalleled relief. Hiking is for nerds; swimming’s for the birds—here’s what’s coming to the big screen in the summer of 2024.

a stranded group of people stalked by mysterious forces in a forest. Honestly? Looks pretty creepy and weird and it can’t be worse than M.’s Avatar adaptation. The Watchers feels worth a watch.

I USED TO BE FUNNY

JUNE 14, NR

The fantastically talented and funny Rachel Sennott (Bottoms, Shiva Baby) plays Sam, a no-name stand-up struggling with PTSD who must decide if she wants to help find a missing kid for whom she once served as a nanny. As you consider whether or not to view this new dramedy, know that Sennott can do no wrong.

THE BIKERIDERS

JUNE 21, R

Hank the Cowdog podcast director Jeff Nichols gets into the feature film directing game with this Austin “Can’t Stop Talking Like Elvis” Butler film about a Midwest motorcycle club and

JUNE

BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE

JUNE 7, R

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence team up for the bazillionth time to fight crime in Miami—Bad Boys style, which is to say with zero regard to institutional procedure, due process and/or citizens’ rights. Oh wait, though, it looks like they’re actually framed for crimes this time and have to do fugitive stuff. Gangsta codirectors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah helm this one.

THE WATCHERS

JUNE 7, PG-13

M. Night Shyamalan’s daughter Ishana Night Shyamalan follows in her dad’s footsteps with this seemingly baffling Dakota Fanning-led thriller about

the seedy underbelly found therein. Tom Hardy and a love story with Jodie Comer (Alone in the Dark the video game) also factor in the film.

KINDS OF KINDNESS

JUNE 21, R

Poor Things/The Favorite auteur Yorgos Lanthimos reunites with Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe and brings on Jesse Plemons (Killers of the Flower Moon), Margaret Qualley (Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood) and Mamoudou Athie (Elemental) for his newest—an anthology-esque character study that reportedly cuts closer to his earlier work like The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Hopefully, we had you at “Poor Things/The Favorite auteur Yorgos Lanthimos…”

JANET PLANET

JUNE 21, PG-13

Playwright Annie Baker transitions to the silver screen in both writing and directorial roles for Janet Planet, a

coming-of-age tale set in early-’90s rural Massachusetts. Word is Baker’s skills are undeniably brilliant and should make anyone with a heart feel something. Newcomer Zoe Ziegler stars alongside Dream Scenario alum Julianne Nicholson.

HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA - CHAPTER 1

JUNE 28, R

In his quest to only direct oversized films, Waterworld creator Kevin Costner returns with the first of a reportedly two-part historical movie, this time about expansion in the American West before and after the Civil War. This is the kind of movie that’ll make you think, “Wow, Sam Worthington still exists?” A Love Song’s Dale Dickey is in it, though, and she’s a gem; same goes for Sienna Miller and Michael Angarano. Costner also co-wrote Horizon

JULY

BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F

JULY 3, R

Eddie Murphy joins Joseph GordonLevitt, Kevin Bacon and, of course, Judge Reinhold for the next in the previously dormant Beverly Hills Cop franchise. Yes, it’s been

30 years since the last BHC, but chances are this will be fun as hell if you can forget how often cops do terrible things in the real world and…actually, does ACAB include Murphy’s Axel Foley?

SING SING

JULY 12, R

Fear the Walking Dead’s Colman Domingo stars in this drama about a wrongfully incarcerated man who finds hope in a jailhouse theater group. The full credited cast clocks in at under 10 people, so expect intimacy and vulnerability and, most likely, to shed a few tears.

TWISTERS

JULY 19, PG-13

A sequel to the 1996 movie Twister about people who engage with twisters (or tornados for the semantics). What the hell else can anyone say about it other than Glen Powell seems kind of sad? Wait a sec—Michael Crichton is credited as a co-writer for this thing, which is a pretty neat trick for a guy who died in 2008. Expect tornadoes and people shouting stuff like, “Look out for that twister!”

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE

JULY 26, R

Normally at this point in human history, yet another Marvel movie would be enough to make anyone barf, but stalwart Deadpool actor/ defender Ryan Reynolds (Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place) is counting on collective American nostalgia to make it work. And you know what? He’s gonna get it! This movie looks so fun, and Hugh Jackman (Les Miz) is back as Wolverine from the freaking X-Men. Step aside, indie art and foreign films—this is cinema (say it with a hard “ch” at the beginning, even).

AUGUST

THE INSTIGATORS

AUGUST 2, R

Matt Damon re-teams with Bourne Identity director Doug Liman and brings along his best bud’s little bro

Casey Affleck for a thriller-esque work about a botched robbery and the would-be robbers’ subsequent quest to get the heck outta wherever the heck the yare. No one has said anything about it being set in Boston but, like, don’t you just feel like it’ll be set in Boston? Michael Stuhlbarg (Boardwalk Empire), Ving Rhames (Mission:Impossible series) and Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2) co-star. No word on exactly who instigates what, though. #Bahston

BORDERLANDS

AUGUST 9, NOT YET RATED, BUT PROBABLY PG-13

Yes! Director Eli Roth adapts the most excellent Borderlands video game series from developer Gearbox about a gaggle of gun-loving weirdos on the hunt for treasure. Before you movie snobs turn your nose up at the video game part, look to recent successes like The Last of Us and Fallout as examples of gameto-screen badassery. Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart star; Jack Black lends his voice; Jamie Lee Curtis—a known

game nerd—pops in, too; and Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie) tackles Ashly Burch’s iconic Tiny Tina. And if you don’t get that bit about Ashly Burch and Tiny Tina, don’t sweat it—that one’s for the nerds.

TRAP

AUGUST 9, NOT YET RATED, BUT PROBABLY PG-13

Oh, God, M. Night Shyamalan does have a movie out this year, too, alongside his daughter’s The Watchers Dear old dad’s movie is about a dad (Josh Harnett) who takes his daughter to a pop concert only to find that something evil is going down. Like most post-Sixth Sense/Unbreakable Shyamalan movies, it’ll likely be gripping as hell right up until the lackluster ending.

THE CROW

AUGUST 23, NOT YET RATED, BUT PROBABLY R

Actor Bill Skarsgard and director Rupert Sanders piss off all your goth and rave and rave-goth friends with a reboot of the 1994 Brandon Lee/Alex Proyas cult classic of the same name— the very same film that cost Lee his life during a tragic shooting accident. Like the original, this The Crow follows a murdered musician who returns from beyond the grave to exact gothflavored revenge. Expect music from Skinny Puppy and Nine Inch Nails, probably. FKA Twigs is in it, too.

ALL SKATE!

Santa Fe Skate Night rolls along

BY JEN PEREZ

If there’s a full moon over Santa Fe, Herb Martinez Park (914 Camino Carlos Rey) becomes the place to be. Twilight brings out many things, like handsome vampires and crepuscular creatures, but a recent outing with the ongoing Santa Fe Skate Night event series brought out a community ready to roll—as well as some childhood memories.

I grew up roller skating at The Carousel Skating Rink in Houston, a fun place to spend the day back when it was perfectly acceptable to just drop off your kid at a warehouse on I-10. The Carousel was also a great place to crush on a cute boy from another school, and I would badger the DJ to play that funky music or dedicate something coquettish “to the boy with the Combat Rock shirt, from Jenny in the red satin pants.” For a time, roller skating was my life.

Thoughts from that era danced in my head when I joined Santa Fe Skate Night hostess-with-the-mostest Miranda Rivera as she gussied up the outdoor skate rink at Herb Martinez with flood lights, a giant speaker and a disco ball. If you attend a future Skate Night, rest assured you can’t miss Rivera—her bright pink hair practically glowed in the sunset as she gracefully floated between set-up and greeter duties. The party was just starting as the sun sank, and there were already dozens of people doing loops on quad skates, inlines, skateboards and even a scooter or two. The smooth, seamless concrete unfolded before me, fenced in with high curbs that helped manage the debris. To keep the track clean, Rivera and her crew skated about with a couple of leaf blowers just before the session (and again throughout the evening) to make sure everyone could skate safely. Even a tiny rock can lock up a wheel and send a skater tumbling, and though I witnessed a few spills, someone was always there to offer a lift up and quick check-in to make sure no serious injuries had occurred.

I sat on the sidelines to watch and learned Santa Fe Skate Night lures people of all ages and abilities. Some skated alone, couples glided along hand-in-hand and friends made the rounds to chat and laugh about whatever. Occasionally, some skater would bust out dance moves or show off a new skill. And the night went on.

I watched as a mom gave her kids the signal to wrap it up, but her young daughter begged to do a few more laps—then zipped away before her mom could say “ohhhkay.” Mom took a seat next to me as I casually mentioned, “I used to skate.” She said she did too, but Carisa Cortez didn’t just roll in a wide circle listening to Xanadu like I had in Houston—she was a former roller derby athlete and a ref for the Brawlin’ Betties, a full-contact league in Santa Barbara, California. Had there been a

contest that night, Cortez would have been a lock for the Coolest Mom Award.

After soaking in the scene, I started to experience skate envy. Since Santa Fe Skate Night is, of course, a nighttime event, many sported light-up wheels. I found myself staring at feet as they whooshed by and taking photos of rad skates became my new fetish. I asked folks where they found their gear and got answers like Big 5, Amazon and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Some said online specialty shops. Someone said, “found ‘em.”

“Some basic safety gear will really help your confidence,” Rivera said. “Make sure you get skates that fit your feet really well—you’ll be spending as much time as you can in them.”

You’ll want a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards, for example, especially if you’re just starting out. Protective gear can provide that extra boost of confidence to pick up speed and practice stopping techniques, although learning to fall is part of the process. Skating also comes with

health benefits, as it’s a source of cardio similar to jogging, but with lower impact. Skating also boosts serotonin levels for a near-instant dose of happiness, while strengthening the core and engaging large muscle groups that improve balance and posture while torching calories.

“Roller skating is the best thing I have ever done to improve my mental health,” Rivera noted; everyone at Santa Fe Skate Night was smiling like the very act was an additional side effect.

So, you wanna get involved in the future? Santa Fe Skate Night is always looking for volunteers to help with set-up, take down and social media. The group plans to host Full Moon Skate Nights once a month with some Thursday sessions peppered in because they share the outdoor rink (and some people) with the Santa Fe Bike Polo Club. Like Santa Fe Skate Night, the bike polo club also promotes inclusivity and accessibility by encouraging newcomers, regardless of their current skill levels on a bike or with a polo mallet. Both groups host a joint party night in the fall where they take turns on the concrete.

Rivera hopes to build momentum with regular skate sessions, incorporating lessons on basics, skate choreography and dancing. The next Full Moon Skate Night comes on Friday, June 28, so you have some time to get some skates and watch Whip It!, United Skates and Boogie Nights ahem—I mean Roller Boogie

Listen Up! Check out the Boom Boom Skate playlist on Spotify, made especially for this story and dedicated to all you roller babes who need some classic disco, funky basslines and groovy beats to get the wheels turning. From yours truly, Jenny in the red satin pants.

HOWLS OF THE NIGHTRIDERS

Loops bicycling community explores our own backyard

BY ADAM FERGUSON

“Comejoin us! It’s time to ride!” Alex McDonough shouted as he circled the Plaza on his bike, Irish tunes blasting from a portable speaker. McDonough’s boisterous howl resonated through the air and signified to the nearby crew of bicyclists that the ride was about to start.

It was a Monday night; 7:30 pm and dusky; the meeting point and time for local bicycling happening Loops Santa Fe, a group ride/party concept that was initially developed in 2011 by artist, bike enthusiast and former Santa Fean Vanessa Bowen. The idea was simple: Gather bicyclists under rotating leaders on a weekly basis; add art when possible, like an early session that included an exhibit of old bikes at the Center for Contemporary Arts. By all accounts, Loops was a hit early on due to the energetic Santa Fe biking community. That first summer earned Loops 60 regular riders, including McDonough, who has served as a de facto organizer since Bowen left for Albuquerque some years ago—though Loops has carried on with a rather loose structure.

“It’s about building community,” McDonough said as we headed out to ride. “I think it’s because there is no official leader. We’re always in the process of learning together and learning about how communities deal with problems.”

After a few warm-up laps around the Plaza, the group decided to make for Fort Marcy. Like a flock of birds, we cruised up Lincoln Avenue, cut through the exterior of the Santa Fe Community Convention Center and then crossed over Paseo De Peralta. All the while, McDonough hung in the back alongside Loops veteran Jamie Cobb, minding the flock.

“We always have two cabooses,” Cobb explained. “That’s one of the only rules…for safety.”

The main unspoken law seemed to be “follow the leader.”

“RIGHT!” McDonough bellowed as the group veered offroad and onto a gravel path leading to a narrow bridge connecting one section of Fort Marcy Park to another.

The destination was a hidden lookout point above the park from which the group paused to watch the setting sun. It was an ideal spot join in on some good conversation.

“It’s a social ride,” Cobb continued, “a chance to get together, move your legs and see parts of the town that we might not know about—so you can know your town better.”

Other riders wandered over to join in on the convo.

“If you like community and you like exercise and you want to see the city, you’re totally welcome here,” regular Loops rider Jesse Kidd noted.

“It’s a no-drop ride,” McDonough added. “If someone’s bike breaks on the ride, we stop and fix it, and everyone waits.”

There it was—genuine kindness and community care. Loops’ sense of freedom runs parallel to its sense of discovery, and the exercise component doesn’t hurt; nor does its ample opportunities for developing social bonds with new people. It’s a time for fellow bikers of all levels to come together and celebrate their love of riding while exploring the lesser-known corners of Santa Fe. For newcomers or longtime locals looking for a group of kind-hearted people this summer, it might just be worth dropping in for a Monday night ride. Just listen for the hoots and howls near the Plaza and don’t be afraid to join them.

Biking Trails Around Santa Fe

Night-centric social bike rides might not be for everyone, so for those looking to steer away from the urban sprawl and/or social rides, the Santa Fe Mountains and surrounding areas are rife with epic biking trails ranging from mellow rides to those fit for thrill-seekers. Here are a few of Santa Fe’s best biking trails to put on your list for this summer’s riding. As bike trails don’t often have set addresses, be sure to visit santafempo.org/resources/bikeways-map/ for maps and directions.

Dorothy Stewart Trail • Easy • Length: 1.9 miles

Elevation Gain: 394 ft. Route Type: Loop

Considered to be one of the most popular areas for hiking and biking, this 1.9-mile loop tucked behind a residential

area is a peaceful way to get on your bike and roll. The loop takes around 55 minutes to complete.

Dale Ball Trails Loop • Easy • Length: 3.1 miles

Elevation Gain: 393 ft. Route Type: Loop

The Dale Ball Trails is a 3.1-mile loop just below the Randall Davey Audubon Center that takes around 80 minutes to complete. There’s a reason this trail has remained popular for hikers and bikers as far back as anyone can remember.

Dale Ball Trails North • Moderate • Length: 4.2 miles

Elevation Gain: 541 ft. Route Type: Loop

Things get a little more advanced along the 4.2-mile iteration of the Dale Ball loop. Expect this ride to take about 105 minutes to complete. Make sure to bring some focus, too.

This is a great trail to hit when looking for a next level type of adventure while enjoying some epic views.

La Tierra Loop via Cucaracha Trail Head • Moderate • Length: 5.8 miles Elevation Gain: 492 ft. Route Type: Loop

La Tierra Loop is pure open high-desert riding bliss with great views of the mountains. The 5.8-mile loop takes around two hours to complete and is also a popular destination for horseback riders, runners and bikers—so be open to sharing the trail.

Atalaya Mountain Trail • Difficult • Length: 6.2 miles

Elevation Gain: 1,797 ft. Route Type: Out & back

The Atalaya Mountain trail takes mountain biking to literal new heights. The 1,797 ft elevation gain is no joke, and the 6.2-mile out and back trail takes around three hours and 40 minutes to complete. Yes, this one will require some experience, but the views are worth it.

Cairn Me Up and Jagged Axe Loop • Difficult •

Length: 7.0 miles Elevation Gain:1,105 ft Route Type: Loop

Cruise down I-25 North for 20-ish minutes and you’ll end up in Glorieta, which happens to be home to some of the best mountain biking in the country. Cairn Me Up and Jagged Axe Loop isn’t just a mouthful trail name—it’s a paradise for the adrenaline faithful. With epic rock formations surrounded by beautiful forests, this trail is one to put on the summer riding list, for sure.

BENEATH THE SURFACE

The dos and don’ts of foraging

BY GINA RAE LA CERVA

One of my favorite ways to spend the summer months in Santa Fe is to wander around the foothills and mountains foraging for wild edibles. In many ways, there is wisdom to eating the wild, and craving these flavors goes back to our earliest origins as gatherer-hunters. We evolved eating many different foods, a biodiversity of wild plants much greater than the ones we eat today.

The number of different plants Indigenous Americans relied on was enormous: It is estimated that pre-European contact, people used over 2,600 different species for food and medicine. Even just 200 years ago, half the American diet came from the wild. Today, we primarily rely on just 30 domesticated plant species, and most of our agricultural crops are highly inbred monocultures that are generally less flavorful or nutritious than their wild counterparts.

Eating an array of wild foods is associated with higher rates of gut flora diversity, which correlates to better measures of health. Plus, spending time in nature triggers a physiological response that lowers stress levels and restores our ability to concentrate and pay attention, increases our sense of well-being and purpose and makes us nicer—to other people as well as to the planet.

But despite these benefits, there are a few things to keep in mind while foraging so you don’t harm the wild things you want to eat or end up dead by consuming something you shouldn’t have. Here are my rules for foraging:

Take your time. If you want to learn to forage, walk the same place many times over the course of a year before you harvest anything. Notice how the plants and bugs and birds change with the seasons. Look for signs of other creatures, and the humans that have walked here before you. Create a relationship with the place before you begin to forage there.

Find a guide. Like learning any new skill, finding a mentor will make the process much more fun and safe. If you can’t find someone to teach you, you can teach yourself. But remember to learn about the larger ecology of the place where you are for-

aging. Read up on the Indigenous history of the land. Find a local to talk to about their experience of growing up here and how things have changed. Don’t think that just because you’ve spent a summer here, you know your way around this place.

Ask permission. This may sound silly but you come asking for life, so be accountable to that. If you always hear a “yes,” you aren’t listening. Think of plants as having agency and life histories just like we do. In some cases, like mushrooms, there is a whole multi-species network sharing resources and coexisting. When trees need tremendous resources to produce their nuts and acorns, they borrow nutrients from the extensive underground networks of mushrooms and fungi. In other years, the trees store the captured energy of the sun by transferring it to the mushrooms. There are no individuals here. Every time you pick a mushroom, realize you are also impacting the trees.

Take only what you need. A general rule of thumb for foragers is to only take 10 percent of what you find and leave 90 percent behind for nature. But this highly depends on the specific plant you are harvesting, and the number of other people also gathering it in the same area. If everyone took 10 percent, there wouldn’t be anything left. So it’s important to know the growing habits of the plant you want to harvest. Some plants actually respond well to being picked, and will sprout more vigorously af ter a light pruning. Others take years to grow and reproduce, so over-harvesting them might quickly destroy the population. Think about how much you really need to take, and don’t be wasteful.

Embrace the unpredictable. While out foraging, you might find the thing you are looking for and you might not. There is no guarantee of a harvest. You can’t plan. You can’t expect. You don’t know how long it will take, what you will find or how much worse it will get. Take this unpredictability to heart, and don’t make finding something to eat the primary goal. Instead, use the time in nature to increase your empathy, cognitive flexibility and enter meditative and flow states, all of which are great for the anxiety caused by living in the modern world. If you happen to find a delicious wild edible, you will be even more grateful and excited because you weren’t so focused on it.

With this foraging framework in place, you are now ready to go try it! Here are five easy things to forage for during New Mexico summers (that most likely won’t kill you):

Lamb’s quarters—also known as wild spinach, goosefoot or quelitas. These weedy annuals have little green flowers and are found all over yards and empty lots. The leaves are very nutritious and generally triangular in shape with wavy edges. They’re also delicious. Cook them however you might use spinach in a recipe.

• Dandelions—yes these are usually considered weeds, but are, in fact, super-nutritious for you, have many medicinal properties and there’s very little risk of over harvesting. All parts of the plant—leaves, flowers and roots—are edible. Whip up some dandelion wine and let’s have a party.

• Purslane—another weedy edible that is easy to find and full of vitamins such as A and C. With its flat, fleshy leaves that grow low to the ground, this plant is easy to identify and takes very little water to grow. It is found in open and disturbed ground. Purslane is excellent sautéed with lemon, or fresh in a salad, mixed with beans or added to a stew. If you can be patient, wait until the end of summer to harvest the small black seeds for a powerhouse of flavor and nutrients well-suited for bread porridge.

• Wild currants—often found in canyon bottoms or along mountain trails, wild currants produce little bell-shaped flowers in the spring, which mature into red berries by the end of summer. The bushes are about as tall as a human. Some varieties have spines or bristles on the stems. While you might not find enough to make a jar of jam, these tasty little treats are a wonderful pick-me-up on a long hike. Remember to leave some behind for the 100 different kinds of birds that love to snack on these berries.

Gina Rae La Cerva is the author of the book Feasting Wild: In Search of the Last Untamed Food Signed and personalized copies of her book can be ordered from her website: ginaraelc.com

• Rose petals and hips—one of my favorite summer foraging treats are overwintered rose hips. They are often more seedy than the fresh ones, but the overwintering process makes them sweeter and jammier. They are great for teas, a source of vitamin C and are easy to find. Take some fresh rose petals as well, for adding to teas, desserts or salads. And return at the end of summer to gather the fresh rose hips so you have a supply all winter long.

JUST KEEPING SWIMMING

As heat rises, visit these spots to get wet and cool off

BY MO CHARNOT

As temperatures in the high desert climb higher and higher each year, it’s best to know when and where you can take a break from the heat, whether you’d prefer kayaking, taking a day trip to a nearby lake or a dip in the nearest pool.

Abiquiú Lake

recreation.gov/camping/gateways/27

Abiquiú Lake’s public beach and recreational area lies roughly 60 miles north of Santa Fe and 8 miles west of Abiquiú. You can swim, boat and even bring a surfboard to try out the Abiquiú Wave—a man-made wave created by the Army Corp of Engineers and others—or take a kayak, canoe or other boat of choice to the lake (and the wave). Make sure to find a rental ahead of time, as the site offers none. Abiquiú Lake is also a great place for anyone interested in fishing and packed with varieties from walleyes to bluegills.

Blue Hole

1085 Blue Hole Road, Santa Rosa, (575) 472-3763 santarosabluehole.com

Ever wanted to learn how to scuba dive? Santa Rosa, an hour and 45-minute drive from Santa Fe, offers the opportunity at the Blue Hole, a clear, bell-shaped sinkhole lake connected to six other sinkhole lakes via water-filled caverns, along with a facility dedicated to scuba diving. It’s one of the most popular destinations in the country for diving and training, and you can swim recreationally as well as train in scuba diving (as long as you have a permit). To dive into the Blue Hole, purchase a $25 SCUBA permit good for one week at the Blue Hole Center or Dive Shop (or an annual permit for $75). This lake also hosts a variety of aquatic creatures, but leave your poles at home—no fishing allowed.

Heron Lake State Park

640 State Road 95, Los Ojos, (575) 588-7470 recreation.gov/camping/gateways/16754

This scenic body of water approximately 110 miles northwest of Santa Fe (and 20 miles south of Chama) has been designated a “quiet lake,” where boats may only operate at slow speeds, making it the perfect place to kayak, canoe, paddle board and fish for some lake trout. You’re also welcome to swim in these waters.

Jemez Hot Springs

040 Abousleman Loop, Jemez Springs, (575) 829-9175 jemezhotsprings.com

For a more relaxing environment, consider the Jemez Hot Springs’ pools, just 90 minutes from Santa Fe. While these pools may not necessarily cool you down in the summer— the temperatures vary between 98 and 105 degrees fahrenheit—the springs’ proprietors point out the therapeutic mineral water rich in calcium, magnesium, lithium, potassium, iron, silica and more is said to increase circulation, relax muscles and calm the mind.

Nambé Falls Lake

nambepueblo.org/nambe-falls-lake

In the Pueblo of Nambé’s lake and recreation area, combine a short hike with your water adventures. When arriving at the site 34 miles north of Santa Fe, find two quarter-mile trails ahead: one leading up to view the lake’s famous waterfalls from above, the other leading to a beach at the lake’s lowest pool. If you choose the lower trail, you’ll have to traverse a connected river, so prepare to get wet and wear the appropriate attire (water shoes, shorts, bathing suit etc.) You can also rent a kayak (and/or a fishing pole and tackle box) while at the Nambé Falls Lake, but any other watercrafts are up to you.

Ojo Santa Fe

As is the case with Jemez Hot Springs, Ojo Santa Fe mostly offers warm therapeutic pools at varying temperatures (with all-day soaking day passes available). But visitors will also find a junior Olympic-size saltwater swimming pool, generally kept at 75 to 80 degrees, amid the cottonwood trees.

Public Pools in Santa Fe

If you’d prefer to stay in town while you cool off, splash in some water or get some laps in, Santa Fe has several public pools open during the summer, although a notable lack of outdoor ones.

On the Southside, the Genoveva Chavez Community Center pool comes complete with a kids’ area and slides,

while the Santa Fe Community College’s pool leans toward fitness. Head to Midtown for the Salvador Perez Recreation Complex pool (which is not open on Saturdays or Sundays, but has cool murals from Santa Fe’s Alas de Agua Art Collective that are worth checking out). And in the heart of downtown Santa Fe? The Fort Marcy Recreation Complex’s six-lane lap pool is ideal for busting out that butterfly stroke. If you’d prefer to get some sun as you swim, the pools at Bicentennial Alto Park or the Santa Fe Tennis & Swim Club have outdoor options, and you can splash about outdoors at Eldorado’s Community Improvement Association pool just outside town. Note: As of press time, Bicentennial’s seasonal opening was delayed due to repairs until further notice. El Rey Court also offers day and $750 seasonal passes (the latter sells out quickly and includes unlimited access, guest passes and swag), where swimmers and loungers can enjoy a pop-up bar on the weekends.

TAILGATE TAKEOUT

BY ALEX DE VORE

The traditional Santa Fe Opera tailgating experience constitutes one of Santa Fe’s most delightful idiosyncrasies. If you’ve somehow never heard about this enduring event, behold the simple concept: Santa Fe Opera patrons, often dressed to the nines, hang around in the SFO parking lot before performances and engage in all manner of dining and drinking. Spreads range from bougie to dressed down; some feel like an excuse to pop a nice bottle (or can) of something, throw back a few cheeses and revel before some of the best singers in the world belt out the comedies, tragedies and world premiers that have become synonymous with our local (yet internationally beloved) Santa Fe Opera. Should you wish to be one of those tailgating partygoers, throw together a most notable meal—with drinks and desserts, obviously—with items from the following local shops.

Mini Cookies/Macarons from Chainé Specialty Cookie Shop

38 Burro Alley, (505) 477-3235

instagram.com/chaine_santafe

Though local cookie genius Chaine Peña unexpectedly shuttered her Chainé cookie shop on Water Street in 2021, she returned (thank God) on Burro Alley in February and is once again kicking out the most fantastic cookies you’re likely to find in town. For the 2024 Santa Fe Opera season, Peña has even been kind enough to concoct a special offering—mini versions of her chocolate chip, lemon meringue and almond cookies, plus the same high-quality macarons for which she’s known. While the slightly salty edge of the chocolate chip cookie seems a nigh-perfect marriage of savory and sweet, the lemony insides melded with sugar cookie goodness might steal the show. You can mix and match to your heart’s content if you give Peña enough warning, too, with each cookie running $3.

Canned Wine and/or Mini Sake from Susan’s Fine Wine & Spirits

632 Agua Fría St., (505) 984-1582

sfwineandspirits.com

Conventional wisdom tells us to bring bottled wine to opera events, but with a whole wide world of canned options out there that prove how new ways are sometimes just as good, now’s the time to make the foray into the unexpected. Susan’s Fine Wine and Spirits has any number of options to try out, including the Sans Wine Co.’s carbonic carignan and/or sauvignon blanc ($7.99 apiece and so worth it to not worry about open containers or broken glass). Those who well and truly want to be the talk of the tailgate, however, might opt for either the Snow Angel ($6.99) or Yuki Otoko “Yeti” ($9.99) mini-sake options. Both are adorable and reportedly delicious, according to Susan’s Brian Felley, who also tells SFR the staff is happy to help anyone pick out a nice rose or similar wine (or anything else, really) to capture those summer vibes.

Whole Wheat Boule from Bread Shop

1703 Lena St., (505) 230-8421 breadshopsf.com

Throw together a Santa Fe Opera tailgate picnic with items from local shops

Though it has only been open a scant few years, Midtown bakery Bread Shop has become the go-to, well, bread shop, for anyone in search of a killer loaf. If you’re tailgating and looking for something to include, the boule ($9.75) is not only a dense and surprisingly tangy option for spreads, oils or butter, it’s the type of bread that would make for a sturdy sandwich regardless of its components. Bread Shop founders Jacob Brenner and Mayme Berman, who recently welcomed their first child, (congrats!), also make some of the best sandwiches in town—all with seasonal ingredients. Pro tip? You can purchase tinned fish, local carrots and other seasonal accoutrements to put on said bread. One more tip? You’ll want a good, sharp knife for slicing that boule when the time comes, preferably serrated.

Charcuterie Board from Picnic NM Cheese & Charcuterie 505 Cerrillos Road facebook.com/hellopicnicnm

Longtime Santa Fe cheeseheads will surely recognize cheesemongers and couple Lauren Stutzman and Matthew Bilodeau from local restaurants, the Whole Foods cheese section and the tragically gone Cheesemonger cheese shop. Luckily, they’ve landed on their feet inside the CHOMP food hall with Picnic NM, a cheese biz with options you’ll never find anywhere else. Stutzman and Bilodeau also make one hell of a charcuterie board for opera-goers, which, Stutzman tells SFR, will be available to order via hellopicnicnm@gmail.com throughout the upcoming season. At $60, said board can feed quite a few people, depending on appetites, and includes cheeses like lindeline from Wisconsin’s Blakesville Creamery; pascualino from Finca Pascualete in Extremadura, Spain; and a new cowbased variety dubbed alp blossom from the Sennerei Huban cheesemaking collective in Austria. Throw in some meat and cucumber florets, grapes, olives, artichoke hearts, chocolates and a whole mess of snapresistant cheese-bearing crackers, and you’ve just won the party.

Meats and Cheeses from The Deli at Sassella

216 McKenzie St., (505) 954-1568 thedeliatsassella.com

Downtown fine dining eatery Sassella got into the deli game during the pandemic, a time when restaurants were offering myriad new products and services to get by; it has, thankfully, stuck around to this day with its veritable cornucopia of meats, cheeses, oils, spreads, chips and more—most of which is imported from Italy. In other words, if you want to wow your guests with killer sandwiches, this little downtown deli around the corner from the flagship restaurant should absolutely be on your list. According to the deli’s Frank Sioux Bob (who took a break from handmaking pasta for the restaurant to show off some of the deli offerings), Sassella’s prosciutto options are a good place to start. The cotto, for example, is a borderline melty delight that clocks in at $2.39 an ounce. The prosciutto crudo (also $2.39 per ounce) is no joke, either, and offers a slightly earthier taste than its cousin. Don’t sleep on the mortadella with pistachios ($2.29 per ounce) while you’re building that sandwich, or the coppa ($2.79 per ounce), an altogether denser piece of meat culled from pork shoulder that’ll make you forget you ever cared about salami. Sioux Bob also recommends the parmesano regianato cheese ($1.98 per ounce and much more substantial than you’d expect) and the meredith goat cheese ($3.49 per ounce)—easily one of the creamiest cheeses available in town right now.

SUMMER GALLERY OPENINGS

Indigenous Futurism, Transcendentalism and sewing with hair

BY RED CELL

In an art-centric town like Santa Fe, choosing which gallery openings one should attend can be challenging, and many deserving events unfold undetected. Here are a few noteworthy exhibits coming up this summer that might have otherwise flown under your radar.

Hecho a Mano

129 W Palace Ave, (505) 916-1341

With an eye for alternative design and promising new talent, Hecho a Mano steadily brings compelling and delightful exhibits to downtown Santa Fe. Alan Crane: Lithographs from Mexico, 1940 - 1964 (June 7-July 1), represents a departure from the gallery’s usual fare, and is the first-ever exhibition of Mexican prints by the late artist Alan Horton Crane. Featuring a series of lithographs depicting Mexican scenes and landscapes, Crane’s mastery of technique and depth of field results in prints with almost photographic precision. You can find these highly

detailed works in the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian, or you can just pop over to Palace Ave. and get a glimpse for yourself.

Monroe Gallery of Photography

112 Don Gaspar Ave, (505) 992-0800

One of the most sought-after photographers of his generation, the late Tony Vaccaro’s work spans from documenting WWII to capturing the beauty of fashion and celebrity culture. The Monroe Gallery of Photography will display more than 45 photographs from 1944-1979 in Michelantonio Celestino Onofrio “Tony”

(OK, but with a few well-known names as well), The Clemmer Collection: A History of New Mexico Print Artists (July 5–Sept. 30) is an exhibition of 50 pieces of graphic media in a wide variety of styles, from etching and lithography to woodblock and serigraphy, from the late 19th through mid-20th centuries.

CONTAINER

1226 Flagman Way, (505) 995-0012

The much-acclaimed artist and founder of Indigenous Futurism, Virgil Ortiz’s multidisciplinary exhibition at CONTAINER, Virgil Ortiz: Revolt 1680/2180: Daybreak of the Resistance (Aug. 10-Oct. 27), constructs a new way to perceive the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. To tell this story, Ortiz effortlessly blends time-honored techniques in ceramics with modern technology like projection mapping and augmented reality. Preserving Cochiti pottery traditions while exploring cutting-edge creation, apocalyptic themes, and science fiction is no small feat, and Ortiz deftly navigates these to produce an exhibit that might just be from the future.

Entropy Gallery

1220 Parkway Dr, (512) 364-3600

Merely a block away from the cultural juggernaut Meow Wolf, Entropy Gallery might not be on your weekly checklist, but that could change after the coming exhibition, A Space Reimagined (June 22). With a background in science and electrical engineering, artist and gallery founder Patrick Lysaght’s paintings, multi-exposure photography and sculptures pointedly balance objective science with subjective expression. In tandem with the exhibition opening is its 5th-anniversary celebration featuring local DJs, food, and art vendors.

Vaccaro 1922-2022 (July 5-Sept. 15).

Vaccaro’s remarkable life story was portrayed in the HBO film Under Fire, which recounted his experiences in WWII on the front lines. The City of New York in 2022 proclaimed Vaccaro’s 100th birthday “Tony Vaccaro Day” in his honor.

Peyton Wright Gallery

237 E Palace Ave, (505) 989-9888

Founded in 1915 by six East Coast artist transplants, the success of the Taos Society of Artists helped put Northern New Mexico on the art world map and thus attract creatives from around the world. Focusing on lesser-known artists

5. Gallery

2351 Fox Rd no. 700, (505) 257-8417

With its unassuming style and minimalist atmosphere, 5. Gallery consistently delivers some of the most imaginative and thought-provoking exhibits. Following the success of the 2017 photography show, earth moves shadows, artist Gloria Graham and Director Max Baseman bring GLORIA GRAHAM | INDEX CARDS REDRESSED (June 14-July 27), Graham’s latest photographic offering. Utilizing discarded library index cards, flames and the shifting color of shadows throughout the day, Graham expresses the ideas of temporality and

common human experience for a show that is sure to spark conversation.

Zane Bennett Contemporary Art | form & concept

435 S Guadalupe St, (505) 982-8111

For more than two decades, New Mexicobased artist Rosemary Meza-DesPlas collected, preserved, and created work with her hair. Retrospective: My Hair Story: from Brunette to Gray, Rosemary MezaDesPlas (June 28-Aug. 31), explores gender inequality, political agency and the relationship between sex, violence and women in popular media. Spencer Linford, communications director at form & concept, had this to offer about her work, “Meza-DesPlas’ works are refreshingly defiant. They do not pander to polite sensibilities. They are frank, raw and unapologetically human.”

Addison Rowe Gallery

229 E Marcy St, (505) 982-1533

Located in a red-brick, 1920s craftsman only a few blocks off the Plaza, Addison Rowe Gallery never fails to offer up intriguing and impressive works from American and Southwest Modernists. Transcendental and Beyond: The Essence of Art (June 28-

Oct. 31) is no exception. The exhibition showcases a diverse group of visionary female artists including Agnes Pelton, Louise Nevelson, Mimi Ting and others who have made significant contributions to the art world. Gallery owner Victoria Addison Rowe states, “Their art serves as a testament to the enduring power of creativity and its ability to transcend the physical and connect us to the spiritual and cosmic realms.”

Artes de Cuba

1700A Lena St, (505) 303-3138

One of the hidden gems of Lena Street is the gallery of contemporary Cuban art, Artes de Cuba. Its current exhibition, Mia, Avril, Los Sitios, Kaleidoscope of dreams and reality, The Photographs of Leysis Quesada Vera (through July 27) is an homage to artist Vera’s children, Mia and Avril, who are also the tutu-sporting subjects of the photographs. Vera offers us this insight, “... this exhibit is a dialogue with my past, an evocation of my humble roots and infancy. By exposing my humble life, social inequality is also denounced.” Artes de Cuba’s next exhibition, La Habana Hoy (Aug. 9), is a group exhibition of contemporary printmakers, photographers, and sculptors who currently live and work in Havana.

Popcorn and Arias

Santa Fe Opera and Center for Contemporary Arts team up to preview the 2024 season and its cinematic influences

Director Jean Renoir’s 1939 film The Rules of the Game’s tumultuous history includes a violent response by its first audience, followed by banning and then destruction by Allied forces. Reconstructed in the late 1950s, the film offers both farce and searing critique of French society on the eve of war. Giuseppe Verdi’s opera La Traviata tells the story of 19th century Parisian courtesan Violetta’s love affair with nobleman Alfredo, with whom she attempts to run away and forge a new life. In this summer’s Santa Fe Opera production of La Traviata, director Louisa Muller has reset the opera in 1939, and will discuss The Rules of the Game’s influence on this production in advance of a screening that kicks off the Santa Fe Opera’s Screen to Stage Series in collaboration with the Center for Contemporary Arts. The series also will pair Mozart’s Don Giovanni with director Albert Lewin’s 1945 adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray ; and this season’s world premier of The Righteous by composer Gregory Spears and librettist Tracy K. Smith with the 2021 film The Eyes of Tammy Faye

The opera and CCA had worked together on a film series pre-COVID and it seemed “like a great time to bring it back,” Santa Fe Opera Director of Community Engagement Andrea Fellows Fineberg tells SFR. CCA Cinema Director Justin Clifford Rhody echoes that sentiment, describing the series as “a really beautiful collaborative opportunity.” And having the opera deliver the film choices made for some surprises, he says, such as the third pairing of

ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER

If it’s been a minute since you’ve hit Canyon Road, perhaps the new Canyon Road Summer Walk series could entice you to return. On the first Wednesday evening of each month through October, the artsiest street in town will be car-free and a pedestrian’s paradise of collaborating galleries, food, drink, music, revelry and, if we’re lucky, frolicking. “It’s a move to reawaken the spirit of Canyon Road,” Desert Moss Vintage co-owner Esteban Rios y Torres tells SFR by email. Indeed, a little window shopping sounds delightful, but the first-ever entry in the series will also feature an indoors live-audience conversation between Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver and Santa Fe Poet Laureate Tommy Archuleta, jamz from blues-rock hero Alex Maryol, Diné soul food from Yapopup and so much more, including 50-plus participating spaces spanning the entire road. (Alex De Vore)

JUSTICE DELAYED

The Righteous and The Eyes of Tammy Faye. SFO General Director Robert K. Meya suggested that one, Fellows Fineberg says, and the relationship between film and opera is less one of influence and more one of contrasts. “The Righteous is not about televangelism and the corruption that was depicted somewhat in that film,” she says. But the depiction of how Baker’s faith “led her to fight for rights around HIV and activism around AIDS…that is definitely a motive in The Righteous: where our faith will take us.”

Audiences attending the film screenings will hear from the creative teams on each opera about the ways in which the accompanying film informs this season’s production—from color palettes to political eras to thematic overtones. Approaching opera in this interdisciplinary way may not appeal to purists, Fellows Fineberg admits, but it does reinforce “that opera is an ever-evolving, living, viable art form, and that we can look at it in different contexts.”

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham makes a brief cameo in Lois Lipman’s award-winning documentary First We Bombed New Mexico. Then a congresswoman, Lujan Grisham tells the New Mexico downwinders who have come to Washington, DC, to lobby Congress for restitution that “no one should have to fight this hard.” Truer words. The fight to expand the federal Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to cover New Mexico’s victims continues today, as its June 7, 2024 expiration date approaches. Since last year’s premier at the Santa Fe International Film Festival, the film tracing activist Tina Cordova’s relentless quest for justice has traveled across the country, winning several awards. It returns home this week for multiple community screenings and Q&As. “The time is incredibly urgent right now,” Lipman tells SFR, who says she made the film “so we could reach more people in an intimate way that would touch people’s hearts and bring about change.” (JG) First We Bombed New Mexico community screenings: June 7-12, Violet Crown, 1606 Alcaldesa Street, santafe. violetcrown.com

THE LEVEE BREAKS

Sure, it’s been more than a decade since we heard from Felecia Ford and Bill, Jim and Kendra Palmer of Hundred Year Flood (at least in the band’s current configuration) but they’re back together and playing shows in Texas and New Mexico, and you’re reaping all the benefits—like Believe, a record the band recorded in 2009, but only released wide this year. “We haven’t been in a room together since...it’s been a while,” guitarist and singer Bill Palmer tells SFR. Focusing on the now, Believe feels relevant despite its advanced age. Think Texas-infused country/electric rock with elements akin to Tom Petty, plus gorgeous vocals from Ford and no shortage of riffy goodness. “I feel like it’s going to be like riding a bicycle,” Palmer adds. “I know when we get together and start playing, that creativity is gonna start flowing.” (ADV) Hundred Year Flood: 8 pm Saturday, June 8. $15.

CANNABIS DISPENSARY

Dubbed “your favorite comedian’s favorite comedian” by Entertainment Weekly, stand-up Brian Regan has been in the biz for more than 40 years, with eight stand-up specials and a whopping 28 appearances on Letterman under his belt. Regan’s high-energy, highly-relatable comedy sets him apart as one of the nation’s most enduring performers. We chatted with Regan about his lengthy career in anticipation of his upcoming show at Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino (8pm Saturday, June 8. $59-$79 30 Buffalo Thunder Trail, (505) 455-5555). This interview has been edited for clarity and concision; read an extended version at sfreporter.com. (Isabel Madley)

I love the story that you were an econ major until your football coach suggested you switch. Was there a specific moment that made you realize, ‘OK—this is what I’m supposed to be doing?’

I took a speech class, and for one of the speeches we had to try to be humorous. So I wrote this speech and killed, if you will. And not only did it feel good, I remember the teacher in the back, this woman, was laughing like crazy, and I was thinking, ‘I’ve never impressed a teacher in my life with anything!’ Then I remember walking back to the dorm after the class and I was on a cloud, thinking, ‘I don’t feel like this when I walk back from any of my other classes.’ So I was like, ‘whatever that was, I know I want that in my life.’

Do you feel like comedy has changed since you started?

Yeah, it’s like anything else; it grows and evolves. In fact, if I were young now and trying to get into stand-up comedy...I don’t even know. I wouldn’t know how to do it. Because when I started, comedy clubs were just opening around the country, and the way you

got on stage was to go to an open mic night at a comedy club. Now, a lot of comedy clubs don’t even have open mic nights. So yes, the comedy world has changed. I like watching things grow. I also, because I’ve been at it for a long time, kind of like the way that I do stand up. I’m not interested in changing too much.

Sometimes a band puts out new music that sounds nothing like their classics, and the fans feel betrayed. Do you think there’s the same pressure on comedians to keep their ‘sound,’ so to speak? Do you ever feel tempted to do more topical stuff?

I don’t want to just do the hits. As a comedian, I try to be careful to do what I want to do, and not be beholden to what other people are expecting of me. Even if there are people in the audience who would prefer to hear older stuff, like, well, I’m sorry, but I’m here to share what I feel like sharing tonight with you. I’ve been fortunate over the years that people tend to like the new stuff as well. So I guess that’s why I’m lucky that people keep coming back. Lately I do touch on things that would surprise people. I talk about certain topics that raise some people’s eyebrows. But I try to do the kind of stuff that both sides would laugh at. I don’t want my audience going, ‘Man, I wish I hadn’t come here tonight,’ but I do like to get a little edgy with the topic choices, especially over the last few years. If you want to have the metaphor of a roller coaster ride, I like it to be a little herky jerky.

You played Mugsy on Peter Farrelly’s Loudermilk. A set has very different energy than a live audience. How did those compare for you?

It’s weird because, as a stand-up comedian, you’re delivering your own words, and when you write a joke, you know how it’s supposed to be delivered…but when you’re reading words that somebody else wrote, it’s a different animal. I was really nervous about the whole acting thing and about a week in, I was doing a scene and Peter Farrelly came up to me [and said,] ‘Listen, I don’t want you worrying about the exact words. I trust you and I know that you’re a funny guy. So just say it however it feels good for you.’ For the very next take I kind of ad libbed a thing, and it got a big laugh on the set. And then, from that moment forward, I felt a lot more comfortable about acting. I love watching good actors on TV and in movies, and it’s a thrilling quest to try to pull off.

SFR CLASSIFIEDS

Rob Brezsny Week of June 5th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): What potentials should you strive to ripen as the expansive planet Jupiter glides through your astrological House of Connection, Communication, and Education in the coming months? I’ll offer my intuitions. On the downside, there may be risks of talking carelessly, forging superficial links, and learning inessential lessons. On the plus side, you will generate good luck and abundant vitality if you use language artfully, seek out the finest teachings, and connect with quality people and institutions. In the most favorable prognosis I can imagine, you will become smarter and wiser. Your knack for avoiding boredom and finding fascination will be at a peak.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Since 1969, Taurus singer-songwriter Willie Nelson has played his favorite guitar in over 10,000 shows. His name for it is Trigger. Willie doesn’t hold onto it simply for nostalgic reasons. He says it has the greatest tone he has ever heard in a guitar. Though bruised and scratched, it gets a yearly check-up and repair. Nelson regards it as an extension of himself, like a part of his body. Is there anything like Trigger in your life, Taurus? Now is a good time to give it extra care and attention. The same is true for all your valuable belongings and accessories. Give them big doses of love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Off the coast of West Africa is an imaginary place called Null Island. A weather buoy is permanently moored there. Geographers have nicknamed it “Soul Buoy.” It’s the one location on Earth where zero degrees latitude intersects with zero degrees longitude. Since it’s at sea level, its elevation is zero, too. I regard this spot as a fun metaphor for the current state of your destiny, Gemini. You are at a triple zero point, with your innocence almost fully restored. The horizons are wide, the potentials are expansive, and you are as open and free as it’s possible for you to be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): When I worked as a janitor at India Joze restaurant in Santa Cruz, California, I did the best I could. But I was unskilled in the janitorial arts. I couldn’t fix broken machines and I lacked expertise about effective cleaning agents. Plus, I was lazy. Who could blame me? I wasn’t doing my life’s work. I had no love for my job. Is there an even remotely comparable situation in your life, Cancerian? Are you involved with tasks that neither thrill you nor provide you with useful education? The coming months will be an excellent time to wean yourself from these activities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I foresee two possible approaches for you in the coming months. Either will probably work, so it’s up to you to decide which feels most fun and interesting. In the first option, you will pursue the rewards you treasure by creating your own rules as you outfox the system’s standard way of doing things. In the second alternative, you will aim for success by mostly playing within the rules of the system except for some ethical scheming and maneuvering that outflank the system’s rules. My advice is to choose one or the other, and not try to do both.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Please note that during the next 12 months, I may seem a bit pushy in my dealings with you. I will encourage you to redefine and enhance your ambitions. I will exhort you to dream bigger. There may come times when you wish I wouldn’t dare you to be so bold. I will understand, then, if you refrain from regularly reading my horoscopes. Maybe you are comfortable with your current type of success and don’t want my cheerleading. But if you would welcome an ally like me—an amiable motivator and sympathetic booster—I will be glad to help you strive for new heights of accomplishment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Three months after Rachel Denning bore her fourth child, she and her husband sold everything they owned and embarked on a nomadic life. They have been roaming ever since, adding three more kids along the way. She says they have become addicted to “the personal

transformation that travel extracts.” She loves how wandering free “causes you to be uncomfortable, to step out of the familiar and into the unknown. It compels you to see with new eyes and to consider things you had never been aware of. It removes preconceptions, biases, and small-mindedness.” If you were ever going to flirt with Rachel Denning’s approach, Libra, the next 12 months would be a favorable time. Could you approximate the same healing growth without globetrotting journeys? Probably. Homework: Ask your imagination to show you appealing ways to expand.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Among the Europeans who first settled in South America were Jews who had been forcibly converted to Christianity by Portuguese and Spanish persecutions. Centuries later, some families resolved to reclaim their Jewish heritage. They led a movement called la sangre llama—a Spanish phrase meaning “the blood is calling.” I invite you to be inspired by this retrieval, Scorpio. The coming months will be an excellent time to commune with aspects of your past that have been neglected or forgotten. Your ancestors may have messages for you. Go in search of missing information about your origins.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you simply let the natural flow take you where it will in the coming weeks, you would become a magnet for both degenerative and creative influences. Fortunately, you are reading this oracle, which will help ensure the natural flow won’t lead you toward degenerative influences. With this timely oracle, I am advising you to monitor and suppress any unconscious attractions you might have for bewildering risks and seemingly interesting possibilities that are actually dead ends. Don’t flirt with decadent glamour or fake beauty, dear Sagittarius! Instead, make yourself fully available for only the best resources that will uplift and inspire you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn politician Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is campaigning to be US President. But oops: He recently confessed that a parasitic worm once ate a portion of his brain, damaging his memory and cognitive skills. “The worm is dead now,” he assured us, as if that were a good reason to vote for him. Why am I bringing this up? Like most of us, you have secrets that if revealed might wreak at least a bit of mayhem. As tempting as it might be to share them with the world—perhaps in an effort to feel free of their burden—it’s best to keep them hidden for now. Kennedy’s brain worm is in that category. Don’t be like him in the coming weeks. Keep your reputation and public image strong. Show your best facets to the world.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The English and French word “amateur” comes from amatus, the past participle of the Latin word amare, which means “to love.” According to one definition, an amateur is “someone who pursues sports, studies, or other activities purely for pleasure instead of for financial gain or professional advancement.” In accordance with astrological omens, I encourage you to make this a featured theme in the coming months. On a regular basis, seek out experiences simply because they make you feel good. Engage in lots of playtime. At least part-time, specialize in fun and games.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Good news, Pisces: In the coming weeks, one of your flaws will mysteriously become less flawed. It will lose some of its power to undermine you. If you engage in focused meditation about it, you could rob it of even more of its obstructive force. More good news: You will have an enhanced capacity to distinguish between skillful pretending and earthy authenticity. No one can trick you or fool you. Can you handle even more good news? You will have a skillful knack for finding imperfect but effective solutions to problems that have no perfect solution.
