NEWS, JUNE 1: “MUDDY MONITORING”
A LIVING LOWER RIVER It surprised me to learn that, so early in the growing season, the lower Santa Fe River flow at La Bajada has already dropped to zero. Even as Santa Fe residents enjoy the benefits of Santa Fe’s Living River ordinance with a sweet trickle watering cottonwoods in our urban reach, the lower reach, where traditional farms need it, runs dry. This and earlier articles illustrate the ongoing conflict between La Bajada and Cochiti over scarce river flow and Santa Fe’s role in it.
LETTERS
Now the city proposes to take an additional 2,500 acre fee per year from this system and pipe it to the Rio Grande in exchange for more imported San Juan–Chama water to support future growth. City attorneys assert we can legally divert Paseo Real effluent with no minimum flow commitment to the lower river communities or ecosystem. It may be true that downstream communities don’t have the legal foundation to compel us to release effluent. But that does not mean we should ignore the long-standing complaints of lower river communities or the riparian environment. The city has not allowed a single public hearing. That’s an unnecessarily hardball stance. The city and county have the supply, the infrastructure and an obligation to manage Santa Fe’s water for the benefit of the entire watershed. They should not ignore ecosystem services or agriculture and the traditional communities downstream of the Paseo Real plant.

“We have seen increased costs across the board with supply chain issues, which seem to be taking care of themselves now,” says Jim Murray, a spokesman for the transportation department. “In general, everything is getting more expensive.” The Northeast Connector will extend Rabbit Road to the intersection of Richards Avenue at Dinosaur Trail. The Southeast Connector, meanwhile, will start at Rabbit Road and travel south on the east side of Santa Fe Community College. It will then

connect to Richards Avenue along the existing Spur Trail, via the new Avenida del Sur extension. The Spur Trail parking area will also be relocated. The goal remains to finish both connectors by fall 2023. The roadway will feature multi-use trails, bike lanes, six new intersections, lighting and a drainage system. The county is also installing 3,600 feet of water line—between College Drive and the new Avenida del Sur connection—so development can happen around the new transit option. During a late-April public meeting, and since then, area residents have expressed some concern that the two-lane road to direct traffic away from Richards Avenue won’t get the job done. Rancho Viejo South Community Association President Marcia Kaplan, who has worked in market research and urban planning, has a problem with the design. “The basic problem is that it is not designed for the level of residential develop-

project to create an alternative route to the southern end of Richards Avenue and to better serve as an Interstate 25 frontage road is set to begin this summer after years of planning, although some residents are concerned it won’t be enough to alleviate future traffic congestion in the Santa Fe Community College District. The Northeast and Southeast Connector Roads Project, with a pricetag north of $15 million, has been in the works for more than 20 years. Santa Fe County and the Metropolitan Planning Organization have found the money, acquired the right of way for construction and are ready to break ground. The 3.8-mile project is expected to address the increase in drivers as new homes are built throughout the area. “Right now, traffic is pretty heavy at the beginning and end of the day, especially with the community college there,” says District 5 Santa Fe County Commissioner Hank Hughes. “Then this is the growth area for the county, so there’s new housing going in and that’s going to increase traffic.” The timeline for the bidding process has been slightly delayed, though. The county originally planned to award contracts by late June. Now, Ivan Trujillo, engineer services manager with the Santa Fe County Public Works Department, says an award is expected in July. The county and MPO aim to hire a single contractor for all the construction work, but the rising cost of building materials nationwide has left some worries. “One of our concerns that we have now is that construction prices are really coming in high and they get higher by the month,” Trujillo tells SFR. “So we want to make sure that our project budget will sustain any bids that we receive and that we’ll have an opportunity to award.” The county is putting up $12.9 million for the project, while the state supplies the remaining $2.3 million. According to data from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, the price of materials for highways and streets has increased 21% since last year. The New Mexico Department of Transportation is also noticing the hike.

ment that there will be in the area in about five years, let alone the forecast for 2040,” she says. “It’s just not true and they’ve provided inaccurate data.” At least four housing developments are in the works for the Community College District. A 2017 report by Bohannan Huston, numbers from which were used to compile the county’s traffic analysis study, shows there are 476 existing housing units and projects there will be 2,527 by the year 2040. But it’s been five years since the study was done and Kaplan believes those figures are inaccurate and outdated, telling SFR there are close to 2,000 units already in the district. “There are over 1,300 housing units that were not accounted for,” she says. “The house I live in that was built in 2006, according to the county, doesn’t exist.” Area resident Randy Chitto, who regularly walks the Spur Trail with his dogs, says he expects to see increased traffic in the future, which he is not particularly excited about. But he recognizes that more cars on the road and expanded infrastructure is part of community growth. “We’re afraid that it’s going to become Airport Road or something, in terms of traffic,” Chitto says. “Traffic is not too bad at all right now, but it’s going to get worse. So we do need it, but one of the reasons we live out here is because it’s quiet.” Others who tuned in for the public meeting also expressed doubt that the roads will be able to handle the future capacity. They’re also worried the two-lane roads will keep commercial businesses from opening up shop and could create gridlock in the event of an emergency, such as an evacuation. Officials, though, stated residents of the district have emphasized a desire for smaller streets, not multi-lane roadways. Trujillo says the connectors will serve as the “backbone” to the district’s development and that as the area grows, additional connections can be made. The level of service, he explains, is how the county measures the functionality of each intersection. So while he agrees that the original data might not represent the full scope of the community, he says the two-lane roads should be enough to handle traffic for years to come. “Service levels are graded A to F,” Trujillo says. “In this case, with even the 2040 forecast, most of our intersections would still be working at a service level A or a high B.” So even if the projections for traffic data are off by 50 % or greater, Trujillo tells SFR: “We still wouldn’t anticipate it to fail. Even if development occurred at a greater number than what you anticipated, it’d still function really well.” SFREPORTER.COM SFREPORTER.COM • • JUNE JUNE8-14, 8-14,2022 2022

Severe Burn
Experts use soil analysis to map the intensity of the state’s largest fire and prepare for likely floods
BY WILLIAM MELHADO t i p s @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
n the aftermath of a forest fire, the public’s eye is drawn to blackened hills and charred structures. But the story of a wildfire’s severity—and the forest’s future— is often buried beneath the soil. The dirt plays a vital role in a forest. Analyzing it offers insights into what will happen to a landscape following a wildfire. In the already-burned areas of the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire, scientists have begun the work. April Ulery, a professor of soil and environmental sciences at New Mexico State University, tells SFR that soils have an outsized impact on a forest’s ecosystem, more than most would imagine. “It provides a home for microbes and nutrients and life as we know it really wouldn’t be possible without soil,” Ulery says. The extent to which soils have burned tells scientists about a fire’s intensity and whether the earth will absorb rain, or lead to the kind of flooding and erosion so commonly seen after devastating blazes. With monsoon season around the corner, many have concerns about post-fire effects. Ulery says soil is not technically flammable, but organic material and microbes living in the earth can burn or be lost. “One of the biggest issues with forest fires and their effect on soil is that if you denude the landscape, if you remove all of the plants above the soil, then you expose it to more heat or temperature variations, and erosion becomes a huge problem,” Ulery says. Without vegetation to hold it in place, wind
Highly burned soils don’t absorb precipitation well, experts say, and the resulting movement of water across the landscape strips the land of earth and nutrients necessary for the forest’s recovery.
and water can move the soil. Additionally, soil exposed to rain and heat can prevent regrowth of vegetation. In places like New Mexico, an arid environment, “We’ve seen that those consequences can last for years,” Ulery says. Todd Ellsworth, the Burned Area Emergency Response team interagency coordinator, has been working with partners from several agencies to evaluate what those consequences will be for the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire. The group is developing post-fire preparation plans to protect assets downstream of the fire, from bridges and buildings to the City of Las Vegas’ water supply. “Fires have this one-two punch, a lot of people forget about this. The first punch obviously being the fire, you know, devastating effects that can burn homes, obviously forests,” explains Owen Burney, the director of NMSU’s John T. Harrington Forestry Research Center, based in Mora. “The second punch is massive amounts of erosion and flooding,” Burney says. He adds that flooding complicates the restoration process, because it’s difficult to know “where we can plant trees where we won’t lose them due to those erosive forces.” Burney notes it’s still too early to make generalizations about the severity of the fire. It’s still active and much of the initial assessment resulting in the soil burn severity map for the southern portion of the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire was completed with remote sensing.
We also need to recognize that fire can help water resources. -Adam Atchley, hydrologist with Los Alamos National Laboratory
“Boots on the ground are critical” to verify the maps that are already available, Burney tells SFR. But based on those maps, Ellsworth says, the severity of the fire is similar to other large blazes such as the 2011 Las Conchas Fire and the 2000 Cerro Grande Fire. “It’s bigger, for sure,” Ellsworth says, “but then in terms of severe burn, we’ve seen other types of severe burn in New Mexico before.” Compared to the Cerro Pelado Fire, the percentage of highly burned soil in the southern part of the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire is larger: 21% of the acreage analyzed was burned to a high severity, while only 1% of the 45,605-acre fire 7 miles

southwest of Los Alamos was burned to that same degree. Those figures include just the Phase 1 assessment area, the headwaters of the Gallinas River and Tecolote Creek. Phase 2 will cover the northern area of the fire, including the Sapello River Watershed, Upper Mora Watershed and portions of Embudo Creek Watershed. It began June 6. Nearly 20% of the acreage impacted in the 2011 Las Conchas Fire burned at a high severity. Amidst the blotches of red on the burn maps, a mosaic of yellow and green indicates that parts of the forest burned at moderate or low levels. Experts note that high-severity burns aren’t unnatural, but the scale of those intense fires is increasing in frequency and size. “As you increase in burn severity, the ability of the landscape to soak up water is reduced,” Adam Atchley tells SFR. He notes this is a generalization, and there are many factors that impact soil’s ability to absorb water, but in his research as a hydrologist with the Los Alamos National Laboratory, this relationship is broadly true. Soils burned to a high severity are especially water resistant, due to several complex and “super dynamic” factors, Atchley says. A loss of vegetation and a post-fire property of soil known as hydrophobicity, which Atchley likens to waxing a car, are two reasons soils remain dry during significant periods of rain and result in “flashy runoff events.” Those events can be significant. He points to the 2017 Thomas Fire in Southern California that resulted in mudslides that killed 21 people. Atchley notes the upcoming monsoon season presents the greatest risk to communities in the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire footprint, but flooding events could continue for three to seven years. In areas not so significantly burned, the fire can help soils absorb water and maintain the forest’s health. Given the increasing severity and frequency of fire events—due to climate change and decades of fire suppression—Atchley acknowledges the need to minimize the bad effects of wildfires. “We also need to recognize that fire can help water resources,” he counters. Restoration will require unprecedented resources, says Burney, who drove the perimeter of the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon fire last week. At last report, the fire measured 318,172 acres and was 65% contained. “Now it’s time to step up to the plate and play the game of scale and urgency,” he says. “We need to do things at a scale that we’ve never seen, and we need to do it today.” SFREPORTER.COM SFREPORTER.COM •• JUNE JUNE 8-14, 8-14, 2022 2022

PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS Ronchetti rolls in for GOP gov as statewide turnout hits 25% New Mexico Republicans on Tuesday chose former television weatherman Mark Ronchetti to face off against incumbent Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in the November election. With 58% of the ballots cast in his favor as of presstime, Ronchetti dispatched with his top opponent, state Rep. Rebecca Dow of Truth or Consequences, who garnered 16% of Republican votes in Tuesday’s primary, according to early, unofficial results. The also-rans included retired Brig. Gen. Greg Zanetti (14%), Sandoval County Commissioner Jay Block (10%) and Ethel Maharg, the former mayor of the Village of Cuba and an anti-abortion activist who earned just 2%. This marks Ronchetti’s second try with the state’s voters. He lost the 2020 US Senate race to Ben Ray Lujan, but showed well with 46% of the vote. He rolled to victory this time around in a relatively low-turnout affair.

Santa Fe County saw 28% of voters pull levers for their favored candidates. SFR is reporting on contested races in which local voters have a say—from a magistrate judge to a pair of county commissioners to the sheriff—all of which happened to be Democratic contests. Statewide, the turnout was a bit lighter at 25%. Out of 1,032,015 registered New Mexico voters, nearly 260,000 cast ballots with more than 91.4% of precincts reporting. About 21,000 people voted absentee and another 103,000 doing so early, in-person. Acrimony marked the GOP governor’s race, with Ronchetti and Dow, in particular, hitting each other in campaign ads and on the debate stage as not conservative enough. Both candidates tried to cozy up to the specter of Donald Trump on the campaign trail—a strategy they clearly believed would win over New Mexico’s Republican voters. “Why are our kids moving out of New Mexico for a better life?” Ronchetti said during his victory speech in Albuquerque. “We will deliver that life right here.” The longtime, well-known meteorologist at KRQE-TV in Albuquerque also took his share of shots at Lujan Grisham during the primary cycle, often railing about the impacts COVID-19 shutdowns had on small businesses and schools. On paper, Ronchetti will have a steep hill to climb come Nov. 8 when he faces off against Lujan Grisham, a former state health secretary, Bernalillo County commissioner and three-term congresswoman who is seeking four more years in the Governor’s Mansion. That’s because Democrats outnumber Republicans 44% to 31% on the state’s voter rolls, though the fastest-growing voting bloc is now registered as “declined to state,” with 22% claiming that designation.

Mendoza re-elected as Santa Fe County Sheriff Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza handily slipped past longtime Santa Fe Police Department Lt. David Webb in the Democratic primary. Unofficial results showed the incumbent starting off strong as tallies rolled in Tuesday evening. By the end of the night, Mendoza had claimed 56% of the votes to Webb’s 44%. No Republicans are on the general election ballot for the job. That means Mendoza, 49, will serve another four years after navigating the COVID-19 pandemic during his first term. He plans on taking strides in recruitment and retention, expanding the department’s ability to provide community-based health services for people with addictions and improving communication by shoring up gaps in radio transmissions.

Greene received 37% of the votes, compared to Jon Paul Romero’s 31% and Orlando Alfonso Romero’s 32% for the northern district. Bustamante, meanwhile, beat out incumbent District 3 Commissioner Rudy Garcia and Santa Fe City Councilor Chris Rivera for the southern district, pulling in 63% of the votes. Garcia and Rivera respectively received 14% and 23% of the votes. Greene, 52, worked as an architect for private firms before helping develop the City of Santa Fe’s Railyard and Community Convention
concern about the available manpower at the sheriff’s office. Tina Brennan, for instance, wants a larger and more balanced presence. “It seems like patrolling goes around more wealthy areas than anywhere else, and they’re really needed in neighborhoods that are falling apart, because there’s no police protection there,” she says outside the Santa Fe County Fair building. The two candidates jockeyed for local support leading up to the election, each receiving endorsements from various county officials. Webb was backed by the Santa Fe County Deputy Sheriffs Association, which also delivered a letter to county officials in January, saying its members had taken a vote of no confidence in Mendoza’s leadership. Mendoza claims the letter was politically motivated, although Webb denied any involvement. Mendoza looks forward to getting back to work. His next step, he tells SFR, is to reassess the department— internally and externally—to see what areas can be improved. “I think we stood on our proven leadership and the things we accomplished over the last three and a half years,” Mendoza says. “I think people saw that and recognize that we’ve kept Santa Fe County safe and I think they appreciate the vision we have for the next four years. I think they didn’t appreciate the negativity of the campaign and I think that goes a long way.” (Grant Crawford)
Center. The owner of Dashing Delivery, he has served on the Santa Fe Planning Commission, the Pueblo of Tesuque Development Committee and the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee. Bustamante, 58, was dean for the School of Trades, Advanced Technologies, and Sustainability at Santa Fe Community College for seven years. Before that, she was dean of Community, Workforce, Career Technical Education at Northern New Mexico College. She also has over 20 years of experience in environmental science and health safety work. After getting out and talking with constituents, Bustamante credits her message of working toward a better quality of life. Next, she plans to work with the city, towns and communities she will serve to achieve that goal. “I think, clearly, the constituents [are] going in the direction they know is going to be best for their interests,” Bustamante tells SFR. “I just really got out and listened to people and I really have to say thank you for trusting me. The priority now is: How do we all do this together.” (GC)
Khalsa to serve as Magistrate Court judge Dev Atma Singh Khalsa will take over the Division 2 Santa Fe County Magistrate Court bench, defeating three others on the Democratic primary ticket vying to replace Judge George Anaya, Jr., who served for more than 25 years. Khalsa received 40% of the tally, according to early returns, edging out Melissa Mascarenas who claimed 30%. John Baca and Michael Roybal finished with 14% and 15%,
Torrez takes attorney general race In the race for state attorney general, Bernalillo County District Attorney Raúl Torrez survived a bitter primary contest marked by darkly soundtracked TV ads and a gloves-off flavor to beat state Auditor Brian Colón with 53% of the vote, according to early, unofficial results. Torres slammed Colón on the trail as a pay-to-play-loving, entrenched politician who would offer little more than another fouryear term like the two Colón’s friend, former law school classmate and current AG Hector Balderas will complete at the end of this year. Colón, in turn, whacked Torres for high crime rates in Albuquerque and questionable tactics he used at various times during his career as a prosecutor. Torrez addressed supporters in Albuquerque shortly before 10:30 pm Tuesday night, evoking the loss wrought by the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire. “Those communities have thrived for hundreds of years, and it is not right that the federal government has jeopardized their very
Incumbent Rep. Andrea Romero holds seat Santa Fe’s delegation to the state House of Representatives next year will in all likelihood look very similar to this past year. The biggest change will be in House District 46, where Democratic Speaker Brian Egolf stepped down and will be replaced by his chief of staff, Reena Szczepanski. Szczepanski won’t face a Republican challenger in November. Nor will other Santa Fe Democrats, including Linda Serrato, Tara Lujan and Matthew McQueen, representing House Districts 45, 48 and 50, respectively.
respectively. No Republicans filed for the position, meaning Khalsa gets the job after the general election. Magistrate judges deal with a variety of criminal misdemeanors, landlord-tenant disputes and traffic violations. They spend much of their time on DWI cases, but they also hear civil cases with an amount in controversy of up to $10,000, as well as felony preliminary hearings to determine probable cause.
future,” he said. “And I guarantee you and promise you that the Attorney General’s Office from day one will be focused on rebuilding the devastated communities in Northern New Mexico.” Torrez is a former federal prosecutor and in his second term as DA in the state’s largest city. Tuesday marked the third election loss for his opponent, who was defeated in the 2010 lieutenant governor race and again in 2016 in the Albuquerque mayor’s race. Jane Bernard, a Santa Fe resident of more than 30 years, is a “serial voter,” though like many voters SFR spoke with, she wasn’t casting a ballot with as much zeal as in past elections. In the AG’s race, Bernard wants a change. She sees Balderas’ decisions in office as politically motivated, so she cast her ballot for Torrez. Mason Hurlocker, another voter outside Gonzales Community School, tells SFR he was looking for the most progressive candidate on the ballot. So Colón received his vote. Hurlocker says he doesn’t like Torrez’s prosecuting decisions. And while Colón doesn’t bring prosecuting experience, that’s not a prerequisite for the job. (JP)
The only contested race, for House District 46, went to incumbent Andrea Romero, with 62% of voters casting a ballot to re-elect her, according to early, unofficial results. Henry Roybal, Santa Fe County’s District 1 commissioner, came in second with 33% of the votes for the Democratic nomination. Ryan Erik Salazar earned 5% of the vote. Julie Dean cast a ballot for Romero on Tuesday, she says, because of the incumbent’s ability to connect
Khalsa was the only attorney to run for the bench seat. He previously handled cases in private practice for two years before moving to the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office in 2019. As an assistant DA, he juggles a docket of about 60 to 80 felony cases at the Rio Arriba Magistrate Court. On the campaign trail, he developed a five-point plan to focus on court transparency; housing equity; “rights-focused DWI cases;” identifying addicted popu-
lations; and ending violence. It’s those types of proposals that Khalsa thinks set him apart. “I think I’m the only person that put forward any kind of plan,” he tells SFR. “I think I came across as professional and also unassuming. I take the responsibility very seriously and I feel incredibly humbled.” His first goal as the new judge is to install a domestic violence specialty court. “I’m not sure what that looks like in terms of a state grant-funding calendar, but I will be on day one reaching out to the people that I know to try to get that ball rolling,” Khalsa says.

Statewide financial offices go to moneyed candidates Democratic primary races for state auditor and state treasurer went to the candidates who outraised their opponents, according to early returns. Laura Montoya beat out Heather Benavidez for the Democratic nomination in the treasurer’s contest, leveraging her nearly $36,000 fundraising advantage over Benavidez. Montoya earned 59% of the votes, unofficial results from the secretary of state show; in Santa Fe County she earned 58% of votes. “There’s already a proven track record of what I can do as an overachiever to serve New Mexicans, now the sky is the limit,” Montoya tells SFR. If Montoya defeats Republican Harry Montoya in the November general election, she’ll become the state’s first female state treasurer—and, she notes, the first female of color.
with and represent so many different populations. “She’s a good voice for women right now, who need that voice,” Dean tells SFR outside Gonzales Community School on Tuesday afternoon. Romero also earned Claudia Pavel’s vote to secure her third term as a state representative. Pavel cited Planned Parenthood’s endorsement as a major reason for her support for Romero. The election served as a barometer for
Montoya hopes to serve as a role model to young New Mexicans, saying she plans to “talk to them about financial literacy and how important it is and that they can accomplish anything they want.” In the race for state auditor, voters opted for political experience in Joseph Maestas to run the office that monitors for waste, fraud and abuse of public funds. Maestas bested his opponent, Zack Quintero, earning 57% of the votes, early returns show. “Our message that experience matters resonated with voters,” Maestas tells SFR. “Folks want an independent watchdog that will stand up…in the interest of upholding the public trust.” Maestas will face Jason Vaillancourt, a Libertarian, in the general election. Maestas his wrapping a two-year term on the Public Regulation Commission and also served as mayor of Española and a Santa Fe city councilor. He outraised Quintero by over $30,000, bringing in more than $170,000 to finance his successful bid for the Democratic nomination. (William Melhado)
Romero about Santa Fean’s perception of her work at the Roundhouse. “Are we a different place than what I came into as a progressive Democrat, from four years ago? What has the pandemic done?” Romero asks at her watch party on Tuesday evening. “It just shows that we’re continually on this trajectory trying to move New Mexico forward in a way that is truly progressive,” she tells SFR. For the upcoming session, Romero says she looks forward to focusing on water and housing affordability, issues on the forefront of her constituents’ minds. (WM) SFREPORTER.COM

DRAW DROPPING Haven’t mind-melded with extraordinary art pieces lately? It’s a good thing you live in Santa Fe, where you can check out the Group Glass Exhibition at the Railyard’s Blue Rain Gallery. There you’ll find new pieces from Santa Fe’s own Shelley Muzylowski Allen, one of the establishment’s leading represented artists.

Even a cursory glance online shows the entirety of the show’s roster consistently redefining the standards of the glass medium and pushing their creative capacities to the extreme. Whether a first-time visitor or a longtime fan, don’t be surprised if your jaw falls open upon walking into the exhibit. We’re not kidding.

THEATER FRI/10-SUN/12 FAMILY VALUES ... OR SOMETHING As the 1970s come to a close, Marvin, the patriarch of a New York-based Jewish family, blows up his ostensibly wonderful life for a same-sex relationship with a fellow named Whizzer. Marvin’s wife Trina winds up with the psychiatrist; their son, Jason, gets stuck someplace in the mix, and so it goes across the small but powerful Falsettos from writer/composer James Lapine. Recent New Mexico School for the Arts grad Theo Kutsko pops on the ol’ director hat for this one with the Santa Fe Youth Collaborative Theater—a lifelong dream, Kutsko once told SFR—just before they head out of town for some serious higher education. Musical fans will find a lot to love in this progressive-for-its-1992-premiere show, and pretty much everyone will learn a thing or two about why classics never go out of style and young people make the theater worth attending.

FILM SAT/11 THE MOMO YOU KNOW-KNOW One thing the anime faithful understand that the haters do not is the medium’s ability to transcend genres in service of creative pieces which skirt ideas of love, friendship, family, comedy, tragedy, drama and all points in between. It’s not unusual for a single anime film to cover myriad topics in a short runtime, and 2011’s A Letter to Momo has all that in spades. In the most simple terms, we follow a young girl who is forced to move from the home she’s known following her father’s death. Later, upon discovering a letter from her deceased dad, she finds herself thrust into a world of lovable goblins, bittersweet lessons and a little bit of that...wait, what’s it called? Ah, yes! Growth! Ugh, just ask your kids. Anyway, you’ll find Momo screening free in Railyard Park this week, so take the family and some snacks or something and you might leave feeling closer.

Ira Greenberg is always looking for something new Having already trained as a painter and illustrator, Santa Fe/Texas-based artist and educator Ira Greenberg found himself drawn to digital arts and the early-aughts Adobe software programs that made such a practice possible. “What happened was that it sort of bothered me, because I felt like I was using somebody else’s art,” he says of those programs. “I didn’t want to have my work exist on the back of some corporate engineering team.” So he learned to code his own programs. Of course, in those days it wasn’t as simple as a coding bootcamp, online lessons or enrolling at your community college— Greenberg forged his own way, which led to proprietary computing programs through which he continues to create pieces to this day. He also wrote what might be the first book on the topic of coding for fine arts, 2007’s Processing: Creative Coding and Computational Art. In other words? He’s a bit of a badass, and he’ll open a show at Strata Gallery next week dubbed Toward a PostComputational Practice. The exhibit culls from the past five-ish years of Greenberg’s practice across physical and digital mediums, including interactive pieces, possibly some 3D printing and work he’s done in the NFT space. Now, Greenberg readily admits the NFT world is
one of confusing terminology, corruption and scams, but he also says it’s invaluable for artists looking to push, thrive and evolve. “Some of us have been working with code for a long time and have never had a marketplace or venue outside of the online communities,” he tells SFR. “We all had two or three other jobs and we just sucked it up—that’s just what life was if we wanted to do this kind of work.” Of course, he says, it’s the wave of the future, and there’ll be plenty of room for more serious fans and collectors outside of the meme-ified milieu. Greenberg will even help folks who buy certain physical pieces set up their own digital wallets for limited run NFT mints when he appears in Santa Fe next week. Think of it like getting a download code with that new vinyl you just purchased. And think of Greenberg like that artist who subtly pushes things forward while maintaining an eminently enjoyable and accessible practice. That’s magic, basically. (Alex De Vore)

COURTESY CARL & MARILYNN THOMA FOUNDATION
With Thoma Foundation Director Holly Harrison
Oh, dip—the Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation hired itself its first-ever director, and her name is Holly Harrison. In a nutshell, the foundation takes the Thomas’s collection and makes it viewable through its Art Vault space in Santa Fe and elsewhere. It also facilitates educational opportunities, talks, workshops and other such happenings across the Southwest and beyond. Harrison joins after stints at the Mississippi Museum of Art and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, so we lobbed some Qs her way. (Alex De Vore)

JUNE JUNE 8-14, 8-14, 2022 2022 •• SFREPORTER.COM SFREPORTER.COM
What was the allure of joining the Thoma Foundation as its director? First, I should say that Carl and I started talking about his and Marilynn’s vision for the foundation around 2018, so I feel very fortunate that we had a few years of establishing trust and building a great relationship before I came on board. Honestly, the allure was Carl and Marilynn. Beyond that I would say that simultaneously getting to steward their amazing collection and direct philanthropic dollars were big factors. Being the first director was more daunting than exciting, but that’s starting to wane a bit. Throughout my career, I have been invested in increasing awareness and access to art, and it is my great pleasure to determine how best to apply financial resources to help institutions and organizations partner with the foundation in achieving that goal. Your job description contains language about “grantmaking in the rural Southwest.” Can you give us an idea of what that means more precisely? The foundation recently shifted its geographic focus to Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. In 2020, our team and board started thinking strategically about how to support education in this region and, more specifically, rural education. Our founders have strong rural ties in the area and have long felt education is the best way to increase opportunity for young people. We’re also trying to fill a funding gap since only about 7% of philanthropic dollars in the US go to rural
initiatives. But ‘rural education’ is still a very broad focus area, so we’ve been working this year with the help of the amazing grants team to really hone in on what we mean when we say we want to support ‘education.’ There’s a lot of a wonderful work happening in early childhood education in our region, but we’ve felt like high schoolers often get left out of the conversation. We’ve gotten interested in supporting the transition from high school to college, building out career pathways and strengthening wraparound supports that help students succeed. This work around education led us to deeper conversations about defining ‘rurality’ and supporting thriving rural communities. At some point, we also want to bring in the arts and think about how our historic (and still strong) focus on arts grantmaking overlaps and strengthens the work we’re doing in education. There are so many people in our region and across the nation who have done the academic study, community engagement and activism around these areas, and I think our next step is to bring some of those folks together. We’re still very new to this field and still learning a lot, but I want to see us in the role of a convener that can bring people together to have sustained conversations about how we can foster economically diverse, culturally vibrant rural communities. The Thoma Foundation makes what is essentially a private collection a publicly viewable thing. Do you think this speaks to the democratization of art, and are spaces like Art Vault just the beginning of a trend wherein viewing art becomes more accessible and collectors stop hiding away beautiful works? I think Thoma’s commitment to making art accessible and available to the public is a reflection of the values of Carl and Marilynn Thoma themselves—that so much can be gained by a public appreciation and exposure to art, particularly in communities in which access to world-class art and education hasn’t always been possible. But, I also believe their work fits into a tradition of private philanthropy directed for public enjoyment. Not all collectors hide their work away for their own personal enjoyment. Think of Isabella Stewart Gardner, who intended her collection to be accessible to the people of Boston, or the Terra Foundation, whose mission is to enhance the appreciation of American art around the globe. Perhaps what you are noting is less a tendency of private collectors coming into the open with their collections and more a reflection of current beliefs that art is more than just a treasured possession, but is a conduit to social change, a spark that ignites educational opportunities and a mechanism to bring communities together. It’s an expansion of who constitutes the public audience for art.

UniversallyAdored Self-trained pizza chef Chris Van Dyne forges ahead with Cosmic Pie Pizza pop-up BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
N
o one can say Santa Fe is facing a pizza shortage. With new-ish restaurants Esquina and Door 38 emerging from the folks behind Paloma and The Burger Stand respectively; the newly opened Santa Fe Pizza Gallery; and Tender Fire Kitchen working on taking its pop-up to a new brick and mortar level—not to mention the old standbys—the landscape has been plentiful. Still, it seems Santa Feans’ love affair with what we can likely call the most universally adored food isn’t even close to slowing down, and fledgling pop-up Cosmic Pie Pizza has now achieved regular weekend service status. The brainchild of newcomer and former Californian Chris Van Dyne, Cosmic Pie opened during the pandemic and has quietly but steadily gained a following. Notably, Van Dyne wasn’t trained in food, nor would he have imagined himself a pizza chef just a few years ago. In the lead-up to Van Dyne’s pizza epiphany, he was working for the Oakland A’s baseball team. He’d grown up in the Bay Area (Danville if you wanna get specific) and long dreamed of working in baseball. A couple years into a desk job in ticketing and event management, however, and he found his passion wasn’t what it used to be. By 2017, he’d learned to work with sourdough—and how to make the kind of pizzas he wanted to eat through a combination of YouTube tutorials and cold-contacting pizza chefs through social media.
“The pizza community online is amazing,” he tells SFR. “If I’d just send out direct messages to pizza makers, they’d write me back and give me tips.” Van Dyne started selling pizzas at his local farmers market, and for a time things were good. Then came the pandemic, during which he was furloughed from his baseball job. It was just the push he needed, though, and he and his wife Metzalli would move south from Oakland to Santa Cruz in 2020, where he’d work making pizzas for the Humble Sea Brewing Company. Long hours and weird times wore Van Dyne down, though, and with his in-laws calling Albuquerque home, they accelerated their plan to move to New Mexico later in life, which brings us to July of last year and the Van Dynes’ arrival in Santa Fe. “We’d always had a loose, long-term plan to move out here for the lower cost of living,” he says. “I think, just being at a desk job...I’ve always had this idea of work being about something more than just making money. I want it to have an impact, I wanted to feel like I was adding value doing something I was good at, and I landed on food because I love nourishing people and the kind of interaction I get with the community.” Van Dyne wasted no time setting up. In short order he connected with Betterday Coffee owner Tom Frost, whose business houses a small but viable kitchen that was formerly used by numerous restaurants, including Milad Persian Bistro. By Halloween of last year, Van Dyne was already cooking up New York style and Detroit style pies on Fridays and Saturdays, and he does it all without meat. I learned this firsthand last weekend when I sampled Cosmic Pie’s Detroit-style pizza

with plant-based pepperoni ($17) and the Moonbeam, a thin crust NYC homage with a garlic cream sauce, mushrooms, parsley and grana padano cheese ($14). For those new to Detroit-style, the growing trend is a deep dish affair with satisfyingly crispy edges that makes use of Wisconsin block cheese rather than mozzarella. The sauce is dished out along the top in lines as an apparent nod to tire tracks/the Motor City, and Van Dyne’s was cooked to a beautiful golden brown with caramelized edges making for an excellent crunch factor and plant-based pepperoni providing a taste I’ve dearly missed since giving up meat. The Moonbeam pizza was a complete triumph of tangy sourdough crust and complementary flavors of mushroom and garlic. Van Dyne says he sautés his mushrooms beforehand, too, and this made a clear difference over similar pies I’ve had elsewhere. Of course, he’s got numerous other signature pizzas, a build-your-own option

and plenty of vegetarian and vegan ingredients. Note, sadly, that vegan pepperoni is on hold briefly due to supply chain issues. Still, you’ll find plenty of other meatless options. “None of my pizzas have meat,” Van Dyne explains. “Showing people that pizza can be highly enjoyable without it is one of my personal goals—to help reduce the amount of factory farming, which I know is probably never going to totally go away, but...one of the things I love about Santa Fe is that the people here are very aware of their food choices being impactful.” Devout carnivores sometimes pass on Cosmic Pie, Van Dyne says, though that seems short-sighted. To each their own, sure, but for the rest of us, it’s well worth placing an order online. Van Dyne opens up online orders on Thursdays for Friday and/or Saturday pickup at the time of your choosing Perhaps one day we’ll find a brick and mortar Cosmic Pie, but for now the pop-up thing is going well. “I think there’s this Venn diagram of what you love to do, what you’re good at and what makes you money,” Van Dyne says. “It’s about figuring out your purpose, what you love to do in the world, what you think has an impact and how you add value. At the center is your purpose, and food is that for me.” Agree. It sure makes things more interesting for the meatless among us, and with Impossible Sausage and tons of veggie options on the menu, there’s a lot more to sample. In short? Try this pizza already.

Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance’s Pride Month continues to grow as organizers look ahead BY RILEY GARDNER r i l e y @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
A
n alarming number of anti-LGBT bills have been introduced across the country in 2022. There’s a fear of a national rollback, especially after a SCOTUS opinion leaked last month that would gut reproductive freedom and that telegraphs a larger assault on gay marriage and other rights. Meanwhile, state legislatures advocate for humiliating trans children to garner a few votes, and queer existence is being censored in Florida schools. In short? Clouds loom, and Pride in 2022 holds a different, cautious significance for those who know there’s a nasty fight ahead. Kevin Bowen is president of the board for Santa Fe’s Human Rights Alliance (HRA), and lately he’s been looking back at the organization’s roots as the 30th anniversary approaches. Founded in
1993 as a local advocacy organization with dual goals in suicide prevention and AIDS/HIV activism, the HRA today runs Santa Fe Pride as a cornerstone of its local activities. And while Bowen wants to build on legacy and expand beyond the annual June-based gatherings, he doesn’t consider running Pride to be at all trivial. “Pride...is the one thing that pulls the community together since it started,” Bowen tells SFR. “Having in-person community situations happen is instrumental in keeping the local community together. We can’t all go our separate ways. And now especially, with this legislation coming up all over the country, we have to remember Pride is a joy that needs to be maintained.” Bowen says he envisions a future LGBTQ+ Community Center, plus addressing the lack of activism and social activities for queer Santa Feans who participated in HRA-conducted surveys. Naturally, Pride is growing along with these goals: 2022 features an LGBTQ+ walking tour of Santa Fe’s former and current queer landmarks, ranging from the La Fonda on the Plaza to the active local gay scene of the 1980s. There will be nights focused on BIPOC queer

Neptune Frost Review “Picture a dream and dare to live in it” BY RILEY GARDNER r i l e y @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
+ CONCEPT AND AESTHETIC - DIALOGUE SEEMS UNIMPORTANT; POINTLESS SIDE CHARACTERS
Certainly by now moviegoers have heard tell of the controversial reception for director David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future. Seems Cannes audiences couldn’t decide whether to walk out, conduct a standing ovation or ignore it altogether, but the godfather of body horror’s newest work at least begs one question: Can one really like something they simultaneously hate? It is the future—or some kind of future, anyway—and most humans have evolved beyond pain and infection. On paper, this sounds great, but when we consider pain as a warning sign and infection as the body’s response to, y’know, bad stuff in our blood or whatever, the idea becomes more harrowing than pleasant. Surgery has become a bizarre combination of performance art, sex or even both, meaning surgeons and/or the willing-to-be-mutilated become new world rockstars. This is where Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen) and Caprice (Léa Seydoux) come in. Caprice is a former trauma surgeon, while Saul becomes something akin to her canvas. For whatever reason, his body continually produces new organs, though no one ever really gets the chance to figure out what they do as Caprice cuts them out in public performances before they have a chance to operate. Sadly, though, Saul seems to be one of the last few who can experience pain or something like it, and no amount of bio-mechanical beds, 28

t takes longer than a half hour to grasp what might be happening in the new Afro-futurist musical Neptune Frost, and by its end credits, you won’t be amiss to ask yourself or others what it all was about. If you can grasp its threads and make sense of the chaos, however, it offers substantially more than any classic Hollywood formula can. Here, find parallel stories working in tandem, wherein two individuals (Elvis Ngabo/Cheryl Isheja as Neptune and Bertrand Ninteretse as Matalusa) respond to governmental oppression by hopping through dimensions. Under the guiding light of the Wheel Man, a mystical being who adorns a metallic cap with twirling bicycle spokes, they use technology to upend the oligarchs corrupting their nation. Neptune Frost is big on ideas, but its plot is its least accessible feature and perhaps becomes too grandiose for what it seems to be attempting to reach. But its symbolism is potent: the blending of traditional African community aspects with vlogging, computers, drones and exploitative mining practices. It opens with a reminder that much of our modern tech is powered by cobalt that is mined primarily by oppressed workers in the

- SOMEWHAT
INCOMPREHENSIBLE, BUT IT COMES TOGETHER
Democratic Republic of Congo. Sad notes aside, Afro-Futurism remains a major bright spot offered by the continent’s filmmakers and its diaspora. Directors Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeyman aren’t fearful of the future, either. Instead, their film lingers in the liberating promise technology might bring rather than the dystopia it has helped create. Dimensional travel becomes a shorthand for freedom from modern colonial/corporate powers, and a flat-out dismissal of traditional gender notions becomes a smart reminder that the “backwardness” sometimes associated with African countries isn’t innate. This is a lesson to all future filmmakers— Uzeyman and Williams do not tip-toe. Instead they go for broke in their commitment to a neon-drenched aesthetic. Even so, certain triumphs betray a lag in Neptune’s technical aspects, but its less-polished real-
repurposed autopsy machines or weird bone chairs seem to be helping. Meanwhile, the father (Scott Speedman) of a recently murdered young boy sees Saul and Caprice as his ticket to understanding his own body’s changes, but an omnipresent oppressive feeling makes doing anything kind of a drag. Crimes of the Future saddles a strange aesthetic that can best be described as that of the 2004 video game Half Life 2 coupled with Giger-esque furniture design. Folks don’t much seem to be shocked by anything in a pain-free world anymore, even as new variants of evolved humans appear and surgeries, cutting, etc. become psychosexual free-for-alls or fine art exhibits. Crimes delves into light gore and confusingly intermeshed ideas of sex and violence, but ultimately feels more like a warning: If the body were to become the last frontier for art, and there are no more physical barriers, what is too far? Further, do those who consume art bear a responsibility for so regularly upping the stakes, and why do we worship at the feet of those who go too far like it’s nothing? This is a gorgeous film, but doesn’t much have the answers to its own admittedly interesting questions. More notable is how it sticks with you. Dialogue and plot become secondary to concept, which is strangely refreshing, though you have to wonder whether Cronenberg is saying art should bear no limits, if it should in some cases or if he’s just trying to start a conversation. If it’s that third thing, mission accomplished. (Alex De Vore) CCA, Violet Crown, R, 107 min.
ism might delight more careful or thoughtful viewers. Colonialism and exploitation leave behind curious effects, and cinema has often expressed that shortsightedness with lazy practices. Take, for example, the inability to light Black people properly—especially anyone with darker skin tones. Most modern lighting techniques are designed to highlight lighter features, but Frost’s skilled cinematographer (Uzeyman in this case) finally gives dark-skinned performers a chance to shine. For this and many other reasons, Neptune Frost is worth the challenge as it showcases the power of Black women behind the camera.
TOP GUN: MAVERICK

+ THE ACTION; THE PLANES - THE MOVIE PART OF THE MOVIE
If you, like me, are thinking you’ve seen the first Top Gun movie, so you totally don’t need to brush up again before heading in to see Tom Cruise’s new Top Gun: Maverick, you’re right and wrong. On the one hand, it’d make answers to questions like “Who the hell is this Penny person, and why are we supposed to know who she is?” or, “Who the hell is that guy and what’s his deal?” eminently more answerable. On the other hand, the new “woah, planes!” vehicle from Cruise and company is so very stupid, it doesn’t even begin to matter. We join Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Cruise) some 30-ish years after the events of the original Top Gun wherein the best Navy pilots around attended a school for, umm, the best Navy pilots around. ‘Twas colloquially called—get this—Top Gun, and while there, they flied all sick, got Anthony Edwards’ Goose killed, competed all day and played volleyball so fucking hard that movies were never the same. Now, though, things have changed. Sure, Top Gun is still called Top Gun, and Maverick’s still the hot-headed rule-hater he always was (a weird personality type to join the military), but when a test flight he wasn’t even supposed to conduct goes awry, he’s sent to teach a new generation of pointless archetypes at Top Gun under the watchful, judgmental eye of Cyclone (Jon Hamm), who totally hates the whole Maverick gestalt. Seems there’s a nameless country out there playing fast and loose with nuclear armament agreements, and the mission is gonna be

so full of pilot/flying terms that even the toughest stick jockeys (the movie’s words, not mine) have to git gud fast. Good thing Maverick’s the most reckless pilot ever around. Maverick follows in the footsteps of the new generation of Star Wars movies by setting up characters who echo the originals and then having them do most of the same basic things. Instead of Val Kilmer’s arrogant Iceman, we get Glen Powell’s arrogant Hangman; instead of Goose, we get his son (Miles Teller, who is better than this), Rooster. Jennifer Connely shows up as Penny, a former flame of Maverick’s heretofore only mentioned in the first film’s dialogue. Cruise smiles at her like a little boy and sails on her boat—they totally do it even though she’s concerned about her precocious daughter who says things like, “Don’t hurt her!” Or maybe it’s “Don’t break her heart!” Honestly? Who gives a shit? Everyone in this movie says stuff like “Don’t think, just do!” and, “My dad was really good at planes, brah!” and, like, “He doesn’t want what I’ve got to teach!” Even Val Kilmer’s one scene feels more about checking boxes than it does telling a story. There is no character development. There are no interesting characters. Not naming the villains lowers the stakes, too, but look at those shirtless bodies glisten in the sun, right? We’ll give it to Cruise and director Joseph Kosinski for the action and flying scenes, though. Maverick makes use of real planes and explosions and stuff, which makes how ham-fisted, predictable and downright boring the rest of the film is sting worse. As always, Cruise is a movie star presence—not an actor, not an artist. Oh, and they waste Ed Harris in only one dang scene, so...drag. (ADV) Violet Crown, PG-13, 131 min.

Week of June 8th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “It takes a spasm of love to write a poem,” wrote Aries author Erica Jong. I will add that it takes a spasm of love to fix a problem with someone you care about. It also takes a spasm of love to act with kindness when you don’t feel kind. A spasm of love is helpful when you need to act with integrity in a confusing situation and when you want to heal the past so it doesn’t plague the future. All the above advice should be useful for you in the coming weeks, Aries. Are there any other variations you can think of? Fill in the blank in the next sentence: It takes a spasm of love to _____________.
of course! Many of our seemingly personal problems are at least partially rooted in the pathological ways the whole world operates. Our culture influences us to do things that aren’t always healthy and wise. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because now is a favorable time to meditate on society’s crazy-making effects on you. Now is also a pivotal moment to heal yourself of those crazy-making effects.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Maggie Smith writes, “We talk so much of light. Please let me speak on behalf of the good dark. Let us talk more of how dark the beginning of a day is.” I offer her proposal as a fertile TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The great epochs of our theme for your meditations.

And your Friedrich Nietzsche. When I read that ambitious epigram, potency in these matters is even higher than usual right I didn’t know what he was referring to. By “badness,” did now. Do us all a favor and find the hidden redemptions he mean the ugly, pathological parts of us? That couldn’t and potential regenerations. be right. So I read scholars who had studied the great philosopher. Their interpretation: Nietzsche believed the SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When actors and other creative people in film win Oscars at the Academy urges that some religions seek to inhibit are actually Awards ceremony, they come on stage and deliver short healthy for us. We should celebrate, not suppress, our talks, acknowledging their honor. These speeches often inclinations to enjoy sensual delights and lusty living. In include expressions of gratitude. An analysis revealed fact, we should define them as being the best in us. I encourage you Bulls to do just that in the coming weeks. that over the years, Sagittarian director Steven Spielberg has been thanked by winners more often than anyone It’s a favorable time to intensify your devotion to joy, else—even more than God. Based on my reading of pleasure, and revelry. astrological omens, I believe you deserve that level of GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s an excellent time to cor- appreciation in the coming weeks. Please show this rect and uplift your self-image. I invite you to speak the horoscope to everyone you know who may be willing to following affirmations aloud: “I am not damaged.

His tests and travails are HOW MUCH PROGRESS I HAVE MADE IN LEARNING many. The 20th-century Greek poet C. P.

But don’t hurry the journey.

According to my analysis, it’s time for you to transform your relationship with a phase of returning home, Capricorn, I invite you to keep Cavafy’s thoughts in mind. (Read the poem: tinyurl. certain nyingdu-la in your life. The bond between you com/HomeToIthaka. Translated by Edmund Keeley.) might have generated vital lessons for you. But now it’s time for a re-evaluation and redefinition. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Don’t pray for the rain to stop,” advises Leo poet Wendell Berry. “Pray for good luck fishing when the river floods.” That’s useful advice for you, my dear. The situation you’re in could turn out to be a case of either weird luck or good luck. And how you interpret the situation may have a big impact on which kind of luck it brings. I urge you to define the potential opportunities that are brewing and concentrate on feeding them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo writer Julio Cortázar (1914–1984) once remarked, “How tiring it gets being the same person all the time.” That’s surprising. In fact, Cortázar was an innovative and influential author who wrote over 30 books in four genres and lived for extended periods in five countries. It’s hard to imagine him ever being bored by his multifaceted self. Even if you’re not a superstar like Cortázar, Virgo, I expect you will be highly entertained and amused by your life in the coming weeks. I bet you will be even more interesting than usual. Best of all, you will learn many fresh secrets about your mysterious soul.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I have never, ever, EVER met anyone who has regretted following their heart,” writes life coach Marie Forleo. But what exactly does she mean by “following their heart”? Does that mean ignoring cautions offered by your mind? Not necessarily. Does it require you to ignore everyone’s opinions about what you should do? Possibly. When you follow your heart, must you sacrifice money and status and security? In some cases, yes. But in other cases, following your heart may ultimately enhance your relationship with money and status and security. Anyway, Aquarius. I hope I’ve inspired you to meditate on what it means to follow your heart—and how you can do that intensely during the coming months.
