The second problem is the confidentiality provision. Our current policy provides that once the complaint is filed, there is confidentiality applied to all of the parties and participants until probable cause is found to proceed to a hearing. No one is allowed to talk about what is happening. However, the accused public official, and only the public official can waive confiden tiality. That is, in a word, outrageous.

There has been a great deal of recent news coverage concerning the Legislature’s sexual harassment policy. We, as co-chairs of the Legislature’s Interim Ethics Committee, believe that there are at least two major flaws in the policy that need immediate attention. Quick background. What happens when a legislator, senator or representative, is accused of sexual harassment? The answer is a written process providing clear “rules of the road” for both the accuser and accused. A balance should be struck between the rights of both. The accuser should be assured that the complaint is heard in a fair and objective manner without political influence, that bad conduct will be quickly and forcefully addressed and that there will be no recriminations for making such a complaint. At the same time, the accused (the legislator) should be assured that his/her due process rights are observed. And, over all of this, is the public’s right to a transparent process.
TWO MAJOR FLAWS

hard on setting up the State Ethics Commission. Confidentiality was an issue. There was a discussion about imposing confidentiality on the parties. But we agreed that both the accuser and accused have a First Amendment right to talk to the press and pub lic whenever they want. The confidentiality is applied to the staff and the State Ethics com missioners and not the parties. That same provi sion should be made to the Legislature’s sexual harassment policy. Unfortunately, while an easy fix, the confidentiality provisions are set by stat ute and so, they must be changed in the next legislative session. That is coming in January of 2023.
Our sexual harassment policy is not meeting these goals. First, there are at least a couple of points in the process where the accuser’s com plaint can get “stuck.” In an effort to assure that the sexual harassment policy did not become political, the policy divided the committee even ly between Republicans and Democrats. But what happens when the vote is evenly split? In that case, believe it or not, the process ends. There is no mechanism for a tie-breaker. And, even worse, there is no publication of that fact. So the process is effectively over without anyone knowing what happened.

You’re probably wondering at this point why I’m painting such a negative picture of my time with my baby girl. To me though, I can’t properly celebrate the beautiful life she had unless I’m being completely honest about the reality of it. The reality of Miss Madeline is that she was an opinionated, aggressive, fearful, nightmare of a dog in so many ways. But there was another side to her that made up for all of that.
PETS
Not long after that, we discovered that it wasn’t just elderly white men she didn’t care for. In fact, she didn’t care for just about anyone except me. She loved me and was content to be by my side at all times. That would have been cute, except she really saw herself as my bodyguard and would bark, growl and snap at anyone who attempted to come near me. You can imagine how complicated it was to host a dinner party.
Jack Hagerman is the CEO of Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society.
I vividly remember the day I adopted her. We were walking through the shelter, and the only thing we knew at the time was that we wanted to give a good home to a dog in need. We didn’t have any size, breed or age require ments. I was completely open to whatever type of dog “felt right” for us.

Jack adopted Maddie as puppy in 2004.
• Why? Because she taught me some im portant life lessons that a well-behaved dog never could have. Here are a few:

Shortly after we adopted her, we had to go out of town for a work trip. I asked my dad to house sit and take care of her while we were gone. I left him a key and he let himself in shortly after we left for the airport. When he arrived, Maddie greeted him with an ear piercing bark and absolutely refused to let him get even remotely close to her. She barked at him nonstop for the next four days until we got back, biting him twice and sending him to urgent care. It was then we learned Maddie was not down with the patriarchy.
The truth is, I got to see a lot of beautiful
An Obituary for the Worst Dog Ever
• Forgiveness. Every time she barked at a stranger, or took a bite out of my employ er’s ankle, I forgave her. I forgave her for something every single day, and at some point, it occurred to me that if I could so easily forgive Maddie for whatever wacky thing she did that day, then I could forgive people for the things they do or say that hurt me as well, with the same ease and compassion.
Sunday, Aug. 28, 2022, we said a final farewell to our oldest dog, Madeline. She was a 14-pound dachs hund I adopted as a puppy from San Diego Humane in 2004. From the very first day we brought her home, she proved to be the abso lute worst dog ever. In reflecting on the last 18 years dealing with her unique brand of mis behavior, I’m struck with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the chaotic crazy she brought to my life.
Saying farewell to Madeline, the dog who ruined me forever for well-behaved dogs
• Patience. With every boundary she pushed, I was pushed to be more tolerant, compassionate and fair-minded.
Now, in her death, I’ve learned another lesson about life. It’s short. It’s scary. But it can be beautifully rich when you are open to the uncon ditional love of an animal companion… especially the ones who refuse to behave. Rest in power, my precious little de mon.
She wasn’t perfect.
Resilience. I joke a lot about how “aw ful” she was, but the truth is, she was a deeply shy, fearful dog by nature. So many things scared her on a daily ba sis. But she never let her fear stop her from reveling in the happy mo ments, playing with her favorite toy, or leaning into zoomies in the backyard. When she felt safe, she was the happiest dog on earth—and her enthusiasm was infectious.
bling with fear. At the front of the kennel, at tempting to murder me, was her mother—an overtly aggressive and angry-for-no-reason miniature dachshund (which in hindsight, should have been a red flag). I took one look at Maddie, and said, “That’s her. She’s perfect.”
a year ago, she decided sleeping through the night was boring—opting to wake us up a few times a night just for funsies. We haven’t slept since.

Stewart, reached by telephone last week, tells SFR that she was contacted by some one “from the large group of advocates that are upset about this,” who said they had obtained a copy of Hnasko’s report and would disseminate it unless Ivey-Soto re linquished his committee leadership role. Stewart says she then decided to pass the message along to an intermediary.
Sen. Daniel Ivey-Soto harass ment case shines a bright light on a dark problem in the New Mexico Legislature
Inside the chasm between those two realities lies a riddle wrapped up in an enigma, if you’ll pardon the Churchill reference. That’s because, by design, the only person who could turn the lights on and let New Mexicans see just how this case played out is Ivey-Soto himself, and he has no plans to do so.
Ivey-Soto ignored SFR’s voicemails until Monday, when he says in an inter view that Hnasko’s report doesn’t tell the whole story, adding that his attorney filed a rebuttal and Anaya’s attorney submitted a response.Thesame statute and rules that require the entire process to be conducted in se cret also allow the accused—Ivey-Soto in this case—to sign away any confidentiality.
Stewart also tells SFR, as of Tuesday, she has not been contacted by the FBI.
“I could,” Ivey-Soto tells SFR, “However, Ms. Anaya has filed a lawsuit in the First Judicial District Court. I find it to be an in teresting question of law as to whether or not the confidentiality provisions apply, and what applies. If I were to do that in writing right now, that would render their lawsuit

In a letter to SFR submit ted Monday, outgoing state Rep. Damon Ely, D-Corrales, and Sen. Linda Lopez, D-Albuquerque, laid out two ideas that would increase transparency and, they say, accountability in harassment cases against lawmakers.
Essentially, the legislators say a third party—a retired judge or justice, per haps—should be empowered to break ties in votes taken by a secretive subcommit tee that decides whether there’s enough evidence to proceed in harassment cas es against legislators. That’s an easy fix, Lopez and Ely write: Just amend the rule at next month’s Legislative Council meeting.Next, they say, lawmakers should sup port a bill in the 2023 legislative session that would change the guiding statute and allow all parties to talk about harassment cases as they proceed, the two lawmakers argue.Both proposals would have made a dif ference from a sunlight perspective in the Ivey-Soto case.
“The advocates did kind of reach out to me and say, ‘Look, what we really want is him to not be in leadership over these committees where he can lord over others. If he’ll step down from his com mittees, we won’t’” deliver the report to journalists, says Stewart, who adds that she had not seen the report until SFR published it. “Well, it sounded like a good deal to me. I didn’t want the report out, I didn’t know what was in it, but I did not want it out. It could only hurt people, in myStewartestimation.”says she passed the message along to another senator and asked that it be conveyed to HighlightingIvey-Soto.thecontentious relation ship between the two, Stewart accused Ivey-Soto of deflecting media attention from the leaked Hnasko report by claim ing he had alerted the FBI. Last year, a handful of Democratic senators publicly came to Stewart’s defense after she ac cused Ivey-Soto of being abusive during a floorNeitherdebate.Stewart nor Ivey-Soto would name the intermediaries allegedly in volved in their exchanges.
Anaya’s attorney, Levi Monagle, has filed a petition in the First Judicial District Court challenging the statute’s constitutionality. Monagle says the law’s secrecy provision violates his client’s right to free speech and creates an “open-ended gagOnorder.”Thursday, Sept. 15, SFR published findings from one of the Legislature’s go-to investigators, attorney Thomas Hnasko, who found probable cause that Ivey-Soto violated the Legislature’s an ti-harassment policy twice while inter

acting with Anaya. Hnasko’s report also detailed other alleged incidents between Ivey-Soto and lobbyists and lawmakers.
“We’redeal. a couple years late on that. I’ll chalk it up to the pandemic. But we’re supposed to be re viewing it and we aren’t, says Stewart, who sup ports the changes Lopez and Ely are proposing.
Frank Fisher, a spokesman for the local FBI office, responded to SFR’S telephone requests for comment with a text mes sage: “The FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation.”
Hoursmoot.”after SFR published the report, Ivey-Soto told reporters from other news organizations that he had been the vic tim of a shakedown by Senate President Pro Tem Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque, and that he filed a report with the FBI ac cusing Stewart of “extortion.” Ivey-Soto claims that an unidentified third party contacted him, at Stewart’s behest, to con vey a message: Step down as chair of the Senate Rules Committee or Hnasko’s re port would be released.
Stewart concedes that the process for dealing with alleged harassment is not working. She says lawmakers should have made adjustments to the process since the 2014 legislative investigation of for mer senator Phil Griego, who ultimately resigned and was sentenced to 18 months in prison over a real-esa tet
Hnasko’s report was ad dressed to a four-person panel made up of four sen ators. Besides Lopez, the group includes Sens. Benny Shendo, D-Jemez Pueblo, Pat Woods, R-Broadview and Crystal Diamond, R-Deming. None but Woods, who declined comment, re sponded to SFR’s requests for an interview.
One thing is clear in the fog: The layers of secrecy surrounding the system New Mexico uses to de termine wrongdoing by accused lawmakers is so deeply broken that, now, the courts and the Legislature itself will conduct parallel trains down separate sets of tracks toward a possible fix.

The downy raptor chicks, called eyasses, that he carefully took home from cliff nest ing areas were beginning to breed by 1970— the same year that the once-ubiquitous animal joined the endangered species list. In the meantime two other New Mexicans— the late Frank Bond, who would go on to be a state legislator and lawyer, and Jim Weaver, who lives today in the eastern part of the state—were working with Tom Cade of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York to start The Peregrine Fund with others.Acurrent member of the nonprofit fund’s board, Weaver tells SFR the falcons Smylie collected were a valuable part of the small breeding stock and produced as many as 100 offspring in the captive program’s first gen eration. The US government banned DDT and over nearly 30 years, falconers and sci entists then released more than 6,000 per egrines back into the wild. In 1999, the bird was removed from the endangered species list because of sufficient recovery.

And he is among the last keepers of a great story about New Mexico’s role in bring ing wild peregrines back from the brink of extinction.Smyliefirst flew captive falcons in 1958, and just four years later Rachel Carson published her jaw-dropping book, Silent Spring, which made the case for how the pesticide DDT and its breakdown products were widely damaging the natural world. For peregrines, bioaccumulation led to egg shell thinning: No viable eggs equal no baby hawks.Over the next decade, peregrines all but disappeared east of the Mississippi. In the West, however, less agriculture and more wide open spaces meant some remained. In the late ‘60s, Smylie knew where they were and how to get them. So he did.

Tom Smylie: It’s known in the raptor community. The fact is, falconers have made real strides in protecting birds of prey because when I started, nobody cared. You know, they used to shoot them all the time. And, of course, falconers were the founders of The Peregrine Fund. Falconers led the way; government couldn’t do it. They put [the bird] in these huge flight cages, and all they did was bang into each other. You can’t do what we did 8 to 5.

I started off my studies on golden eagles for the Fish and Wildlife Service when I was still teaching school and working for the Forest Service. I had about five years of flying in a little light aircraft...I knew where these eagle nests were, but I had to find them on the ground. So I spent the whole summer: They gave me a GS2 or something and gave me a pickup and a gas card. And I went around all summer looking for these eagle nests. And in that process, I found all other kinds of raptors, for example, prairie falcons and peregrines nesting on these cliffs, so I knew where the peregrines were.
There have been 1,300 species listed under the Endangered Species Act and only 54 have come off the list because of recovery. What is it about the pere-

to cliffs where the peregrines were—like Taughannock Falls in New York, where peregrines used to exist—and it seems like it lost its soul in some ways. The falcons used to be on these beautiful cliffs and they just weren’t there anymore. It really affected me. I didn’t want to be a part of something going extinct. [Irish falconer] Ronald Stevens told me, ‘You need to go out and harvest some of those peregrines, because they’re going to disappear. And you won’t be able to fly them anymore.’ And so I went out, and we got these birds into captivity and that was a seed crop for starting to breed the birds in captivity.
Oh yes, they flew them back, they were as valuable as any diamonds at the time. We were right on the brink of extinction. They figured there were probably less than 100 birds left at the time in the lower 48.

birds and checking for hatching. You don’t get that kind of commitment out of a government job. So the Fish and Wildlife Service was not successful in breeding them. They just didn’t get it. I was fortunate enough. I had the peregrines out here that I knew about nesting, because we didn’t have the DDT out here in the extent that it was back in the Midwest and the East. We had a few nests and I knew of about five active peregrine nests. Three of them were up in the Jemez and up in other parts of the state. They nest on high cliffs. And so I took three pair out of different nests in two years and I started trying to breed them. Dr. Tom Cade heard about it and flew out here and asked me if he could have them to start The Peregrine Fund. It was the smartest move I’ve ever made because I gave them to him.
T he falcons used to be on these beautiful cliffs and they just weren’t there anymore. It really affected me.
SFR: New Mexico’s role and your role in the recovery of the peregrine falcon is a key part of the story of how the bird came back from the edge of extinction. How well-known is that history?
What was it like to witness the effects of DDT on the birds?
To me, the skies had been empty without them. I really believe that. I would go
-Tom Smylie
Did they return to the lab in an airplane?
The Peregrine Fund introduced more than 6,000 birds back into the wild between 1974 and 1999. How many of those can be attributed to the birds you captured in New Mexico?
the The Peregrine Fund’s World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, Idaho. This interview has been edited for clarity and length.
I don’t have a number. What happens is nature has a mechanism with these birds, that if, say, a raven got in there and destroyed the eggs or a raccoon or something got in there, they will re-cycle. So in captivity, what we do is a falcon would lay eggs and we would take that clutch and she would re-cycle. We got to the point where we could take one pair of peregrines to produce 14 eggs or 20 eggs. And then we put them in incubators. And then they went back in the chambers for the parents to raise them before they could fly but when they were feathered. We did an ancient falconer technique called hacking: You take him and put him on what they call a hack board. And they put food there and then feed them and then eventually the instinct is he would go out and fly around and become a falcon and then he’d come back because there was always groceries there... So what we did—and I did one of the first experiments here with prairie falcons—is I would hack them back out into the wild. And then they started doing this hacking back East and the peregrines would revert back to the wild.
How did you know where the nesting falcons were?
There were other reasons. With all species, it’s habitat loss, there are too bloody many people. And of course, at one time before the laws on migratory birds were put in they were shot. I mean, those hats that you see in the roaring ‘20s and stuff with all those egret feathers and stuff. Those are all slaughtered. That’s why Teddy Roosevelt set aside the first wildlife refuge on Pelican Island, Florida. I’m a big fan of Teddy’s. And the ranchers were hard on eagles... Everything eats a sheep, and [predators in general] did have a big impact on ranch ers. You know, they were shooting them on airplanes until the Eagle Act was passed… they’d fly along and they’d shoot out of the Cessna windows. Raptors have no fear of a plane...Everything eats chickens too, so they were killing them justifiably. But you try to educate.
Well, one thing is the law, and that made a big difference. And then, of course, if you start reaching out to young people, that’s what I was doing with my TV programs and stuff. And you get the young people in there at the dinner table: Well, ‘Dad we don’t need to shoot those hawks, they’re beneficial. I found out that they eat ground squirrels and they eat rats and rattlesnakes.’ Like everything with us right now as a species, education is everything. And we’ve got a whole group that don’t want us to be educatedThey want to burn books. Sound familiar? And that’s what’s disturbing because, well, that whole Trump administration denied science. They just plain deny
Return of the Raptor
What turns the tide?
You mentioned while we were flying Maverick today that drought makes the game scarce.
It was a flagship species. One of the things that made it is we had such a dedicated group of falconers. “Man has emerged from the shadows of antiquity with a peregrine on his wrist.” I’ve got that statement around here from [American naturalist] Roger Tory Peterson. And I mean, the first time I saw a peregrine and it had a broken wing—a guy had it, a rehabber type, and I thought that was the most fantastic creature I’d ever seen. I mean, it just captures certain people, and you cannot make a falconer. I can’t make you a falconer. But if you have an interest in having a relationship with these birds, noth ing can stop you....And a lot of these people were from science as well as coming from the privilege of flying these birds.
ities mixed up. Why are we gonna go live on that when we can’t take care of this ball we’re living on right now?
science. And it’s the only really truthful thing we Becausehave.it has to be proven. They’re not always right, it has to be proven. And so I have a religion: it’s science. You know, I really like NASA and all that stuff. And I really support it. But this bullshit of going to Mars, or wherever. We live on a planet full of life, a beautiful planet, with water, all this is going on. And we want to go up and live in a dust bowl. And we can’t breathe the air. There’s nothing, no plants, no greenery, maybe water. And we’re spending billions of dollars that we could be educating our kids with. And I have real mixed emotions because I really support the science of it. But I’m saying I think we’ve got our prior-
We all know about DDT from Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, which was a big villain, but was that the only reason the peregrines were in danger? What are the dangers today, 60 years after that book?

Does the hotter, drier future for the West mean bad news?
What are the threats to the raptors today?
It changes, that’s all. This spaceship has been changed so friggin’ many times. So, for example, now you got armadillos in Oklahoma. You got Harris hawks moving
Chemicals. There’s still DDT in the environment and that’s a concern. But the most basic problem, I mean, one of the big problems we found with them is power poles... what we’re finding is the young are very awkward. A good adult comes up, folds its wings and lands, but these juvenile eagles, for example, and red tail hawks and ravens and everything, they go up and land on it and their wings are over it, they make contact and it fries them...And then the windmills. The way I look at energy is that none of it’s free. You’re gonna pay a price environmentally, no matter which energy you use. You can say solar: It’s good and it’s better than so much more. But you’ve got species that live there and that affects them. The wind generators: They put them on the ridges where they get the best uplift and draft. But that’s where the raptors migrate. And those blades go 120 miles an hour out at the tip. And these haven’t evolved with them and they chop up raptors…Anything we do makes an impact.
In my studies, when there was a bad year, a dry year, I’d see the eagles build a nest and then they wouldn’t lay any eggs. There wasn’t enough food base to do that. I wish people were that wise.

and now it’s just a bunch of salt flats down there near Willard. But it’s important to the Sandhill Cranes because they come there and roost. The sandhill cranes used to go all the way to old Mexico. But now they stop here because we got some pivot irrigation going on with the agriculture and now they have food supply and we have greater sandhill cranes all up and down the Estancia Valley. The animals adapt. And what we do that’s different is we make it quick. We do it very fast. What would take 10,000 years on the shores of Lake Estancia, we do it in 100 years and that’s why I think the animals can’t adjust as fast as we’re changing.

Baba Dioum said, ‘We will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.’ And to me, that’s the essence of it. Those words. I feel that when people see these raptors and they see how beautiful they are and how special, they are not going to shoot them. I feel if legislation comes along to stop something that’s threatening their existence, they’re gonna step up...And I think that’s the reason why I do it. I mean, at my age, I should be playing shuffleboard.

north in Texas. These animals are adapt ing to it. You’ve got other species that disappear. You’ve got adaptable animals for deserts and then you’ve got the ani mals that are there because there was a rainforest. If you look back thousands of years, you’ve got some big stuff to deal with. Where we are, out here right now, that was Estancia Lake. It was 400 feet deep. Covered the whole Estancia Valley. We had wooly mammoths, mast odons, giant land sloths. We had all kinds of creatures that were there. And then the lake dried up and then it came back again. I mean, there’s a whole history of this lake out here and we would have been on the shoreline. That’s all changed

The last time local metal legends Carrion Kind were all in the same room together was roughly 2019—which was also when they played live last. Since then, a lot has gone down, from the band writing a new record that’ll hopefully drop soon, a whole-ass pandemic and, in the case of singer Jayson Grace and his wife, a new kid on the way. That’s why the band is taking the opportuni ty to show up and shred down before Grace enters dad-dom, and Santa Fe metal fans are reaping all the benefits.

In case that’s unclear, Ortiz, who also pro duces the band’s records from his Decibel Foundry recording studio in Santa Fe, can actually preside over a production session with Grace without the singer ever leaving Denver, where he moved some years ago.
Even so, you should catch Carrion Kind while you can—like in Santa Fe this Tuesday, for example, with local shredders Nightsoil and the inimitably heavy Street Tombs. (Alex De Vore)
BRING OUT YOUR DEAD
SHREDDY KRUGER(S)
Way back in 2006, your old pal Alex worked in a record store in Northern California, and Mexico’s now-massive guitar shredder duo Rodrigo y Gabriela released their first-ever record—a self-titled affair we couldn’t possibly keep on the shelves no matter how hard we tried. A strange combo of flamenco, mariachi and straight-up metal riffage, the crossover pair culled from so many disparate styles, in fact, that you could never nail down what their fans might look like. This is music you can share with your grandma or rock hard to alone at the end of a bad day (or good day). It is guitar mastery of the highest order, and a testament to how collaboration, experimentation and a healthy thirst for world cultures can become greater than the sum of their parts—all while melting faces so hard no one even knows how to respond.

“This show also serves as a way to get back into shape and play songs we haven’t played since 2019,” Ortiz adds with a laugh. “It’s going to be our last show, not ever, but for a while. It’s going to be a mix of the old stuff, the hits, the new stuff from the next al bum. For me personally, I didn’t play hardly at all during the pandemic, so I’ve got to relearn how to play these songs.”

CARRION KIND WITH NIGHTSOIL AND STREET TOMBS
“Things have changed,” Ortiz says. “I want to say we were more live-oriented, but I think it might switch now to more of a stu dio project—though the reality of metal is that while we can do that and it’ll be great, there’s gotta be a live component. I’d like to finish the new album and focus on threeday, four-day runs where we do mini-tours or something like that.”
Surprise! The Santa Fe/Madrid area is home to all kinds of people who love the Grateful Dead! Naw, just kidding—it’s the least surprising thing ever, what with the hippie population and all. It’s still worth noting that Madrid, that weirdo little town outside our own, will play host to a smattering of tribute bands who might love the Dead more than your dad (or SFR’s Jeff Proctor, who literally followed them around for a million years). Anyway, find Albuquerque bands The Deal and Lonn Calanca Band offering their jams at the Jerry Garcia altar, as well as Santa Fe’s crazy-popular Detroit Lightning, which features members of Mary & Mars and D Numbers, both of which are just kind of killer bands. Boiled down? If you like the Grateful Dead, you’ll like this, we bet. (ADV)

Santa Fe/Denver metal quartet Carrion Kind reunites after too many years
Carrion Kind is a bit of an interesting proj ect. Featuring current and former members of Santa Fe heavy-hitters like Dysphotic, One Down and Casso Vita, think of them like a straightforward but brutal overview of the history of metal. In fact, one would be hard-pressed to nail it to one specific subgenre, particularly since the classifications of metal have become absurd at this point. Find thrash, death and even some doom ele ments to their sound; find plenty of reasons to bang your head. And, since new babies and metal don’t generally mix, find your last chance to catch ‘em for a minute.
Catch it While You Can
“Other than Jayson, the rest of us are all here, and we’ve actually had a new album written and ready to go,” guitarist Augustine Ortiz tells SFR. “Some of it has already been recorded, and what we’ll probably do is remote track vocals—it’s kind of the new wave.”

Some movies transcend time, both as pieces of art and in their subject matter. One such movie is Back to the Future, that most excellent tale of time travel gone awry. In the 1985 Robert Zemeckis-led sci-fi-lite film, young Marty McFly (Michael J Fox at the height of his powers) somehow befriends a geriatric scientist with a time machine. An interrupted experiment hurtles Marty back to 1955, where he must ensure his parents bone lest he be erased from the spacetime continuum. It has everything—skateboards, bullies, Chuck Berry songs and borderline incest jokes. Different time, the 1980s, but you can still enjoy it with your kids or other nerds. Attend, lest ye be called forever a chicken. (ADV)

At Valentina’s, the pork was so ten der and its sweetness so subtle that I had to stop and think about whether I’d had a taco that good in some time. The answer was no, and whatever was left on that plate wound up scooped into my sopa, drizzled in honey and consumed with the heat and passion of a bil lion suns flaring into existence. Hyperbolic? Maybe so, but here we are days later and I’m screaming about Valentina’s at anyone who’ll listen—seriously, the people in my life are sick of hearing about it.

We arrived at roughly 6 and were seated immediately. Perhaps this is early for din ner for most, and Valentina’s was still a little quiet, but our chile quest knew no bounds or time constraints. We were greeted warmly by a server wearing a totally cool Misfits tee, too, who told us to sit wherever we liked (we chose to sit indoors rather than on the patio— have you noticed it’s been getting a little chilly some nights?) and, within a couple minutes, found ourselves plied with guac and chips ($9.25 and it comes with salsa) and a sangria served in a chilled glass goblet ($6.50).

Valentina’s even had a mariachi band show up—on a Wednesday, no less, though we didn’t catch their band name—and they were excellent. Did I find it hard to converse at that point? I did. Do I consider it a negative? Nope. You know what you might pay for dinner and a show elsewhere? More than the 40-some thing bucks we spent, I’ll tell you that. I, meanwhile, shall chalk another win in the un assuming New Mexican/Mexican eatery tally I run in my head. Valentina’s is worth a trip anytime, and I almost can’t wait to wend my way through the rest of the menu.
In the end, my companion chose the beef crispy taco plate, a generous com bination of three crunchy tacos, rice and beans and posole. At $12.99, Valentina’s was practically giving it away (by which I mean it’s a fair price), and though I didn’t say it out loud, I’d have demolished those beef tacos in a heartbeat given the chance. There was so much quality food on that plate, it was un-fin ishable. But as ever, you take what you can’t eat home and slap some eggs on it the next morning. Now that’s living.

did the torta cubana with chorizo ($13). You can even mix and match a variety of soft and crispy tacos if you like ($13-$13.99); you can get four freaking flautas on one plate ($14.75)! And, when it comes to the vegetarian combo plate, you’ll find a crispy avocado taco ($13.75 including cheese enchiladas, a chalupa and more). Well whaddya know?

It’s not that I don’t know the place the Aboytes family built in the Solana Center, or have never been; more like I’d fallen into that Santa Fe trap of having a tiered list of favorite chile joints I tend to frequent. Still, I’ve long been a proponent of the fact that sometimes the best restaurants occupy unassuming spaces in unassuming strip malls, and own ers Pedro and Carla Aboytes, who took over the restaurant from Pedro’s brother Alberto a couple years back—who himself named it for his daughter when he opened in 2013— keep it clean and easy.

ears ago, back when Santa Fe and Albuquerque bands released albums a little more regularly, or, perhaps, were a little more willing to submit them to SFR for review, local multi-instrumentalist Mustafa Stefan Dill played guitar with a band called Pray For Brain, and I absolutely loved ’em.
Of course, that kind of implies a high bar for entry.
Post-college and throughout the mid’90s, Dill enjoyed some success on the road as an anachronistic guitarist and niche festival mainstay. He even joined forces with free jazz pioneer Cecil Taylor, whom he’d originally met while in col lege in Boston, for a series of shows. Still, he says, instruments beyond the guitar called to him often, and a chance encoun ter with an energy worker he won’t name, ultimately left him feeling like the oud was more an inevitability than a decision. Beyond that, he’s always wanted to rede fine

deep ties to Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Taos. When he was a young child, how ever, roughly 8 or 9, his then-stepdad, an educator, took a sabbatical and brought the family to France. There, Dill says, he became enamored with the disparate in ternational musical styles that had made their way to Europe from Algeria and Morocco and beyond.

“Here’sboundaries.thething—you can say being grungy or edgy is bold, but to be really fearless is to play something that’s inside you,” he tells SFR. “I’ve told people, ‘I don’t really care what kind of music it is, if you’re authentic to yourself, it can come out in any number of ways; and I don’t care what genre it is, whether it’s loud or complicated or simple or whatever, the one thing music can never be is lazy or complacent.’”Dilldoubled down on that philosophy last year when, in the midst of the COVID pandemic, he was diagnosed with tongue cancer. A surgery removed the troubling tissue from his mouth, and more than once during our interview he voices concerns over how he speaks because of it. In that way, Love Unfold the Sun’s resurgence makes a sort of melancholy sense. This isn’t downer music by any means, but it does represent Dill’s best means of communication: The oud, the free jazz, the improv, the experiment? They’re more indicative of his essence than words and speech can explain.
Love
Dill and his stalwart band of notable locals, including bassist Ross Hamlin, drummer Dave Wayne and trumpeter Dan Pearlman do, indeed, carry the day with the more recent Love Unfold the Sun re cordings, namely, a 2019 live performance from the now-defunct Duel Brewing, which closed that same year. Aptly titled Live at Duel, it’s a triumph for numerous reasons, not least of which being Dill’s forays into the oud. Again, you might be more familiar with the instrument than you’d think but, generally speaking, its ancient sounds placed at the forefront of experimental and improvisational jazz is
“Music has been with me since day one,” Dill explains. “My mom will tell you the story of me reaching up to the piano to make sounds before I could see the keys; I could read music before I could read words; I took piano lessons, but my teach er at the time gave up on me because I wouldn’t practice the written stuff—I was writing and improvising.”
novel. In fact, Live at Duel kind of undoes possible preconceived notions about what free jazz means (shoutout to Wayne’s drumming skill), Dill says. Like his teach ers at the New England Conservatory told him while he was earning his master’s in composition in the 1980s, if the purveyors of the then-new style of jazz wanted it to take hold outside of the niche markets, the players were gonna have to get weird with it and they were gonna have to take it far and wide. The oud’s not weird by a long shot, though it is not distinctly American, as jazz tends to be; you wouldn’t much ex pect it to appear with mathy, jazzy riffs and syncopated signatures—maybe it’s more common the bigger cities’ nightclubs and conservatory classrooms, but in Santa Fe, Dill’s usage is more singular.
As a guitarist, Dill channeled the likes of King Crimson’s Robert Fripp and Yes’ Steve Howe, but at the core of his instru mentation laid a heady foundation of free jazz and improvisation. The music was complex and layered, but it remained accessible and, at times, just plain rocked. Today, Dill brings a similar ethos to his current project, Love Unfold the Sun, which performs for the first time in years this week alongside Rumelia Collective’s Alysha Shaw—who goes by the moniker Nocturne Spark for her solo stuff. This time, though, Dill’s a little more inter ested in the oud, a lute-like stringed in strument with origins in Turkey and the Middle East. You might not know the name, but you certainly know the instru ment’s sound. And though it appears more often in certain types of regional music from faraway lands (and played by big ger names like Naseer Shamma), Dill’s approach with decidedly more modern
“I don’t think about it at all,” Dill tells SFR during a recent afternoon get-togeth er at a downtown coffee shop. “Or, I take that back, actually, because I think there’s a balance in finding what connects and resonates with your audience, and yet not pandering to it. I am of the firm conviction that if you play anything with passion and honesty, it’ll carry the day.”
“It was like being in a trance,” he says, “but then, of course, we came back to the states and I discovered rock ’n’ roll, so I had to plug in and play the electric guitar.”
musical styles proves the universal nature of music: It is the one thing we all have in common, really, and a skilled player can sometimes insert any type of instrument into any type of music.

When Kevin Smith’s original Clerks film came out in the year of our lord 1994, it felt like a monumental shift in storytelling, comedy, world-building—and the accessibility of filmmaking itself. Famously, Smith maxed out a bunch of credit cards to produce the movie and his gamble paid off; homeboy’s been making movies ever since, some of them great (like Mallrats), plus he’s dabbled in comic book writing, became a bigwig in the podcast-o-sphere and even did a run with the iconic Canadian television pro gram Degrassi: The Next Generation (we’re still kind of bummed he came between Caitlin Ryan and Joey Jeremiah, but old wounds heal hard).
7 + FROSETH IS INTERESTING; JON BERNTHAL’S ALWAYS GREAT FAMILY DYNAMIC TOO MINIMAL It’s been a sec since Girls creator—and once endlessly lauded writer/director—Lena Dunham had something for us, and her new film Sharp Stick straddles the terri tory between alarmingly cynical and charmingly real.

Those who know these films and shows and Smith’s long-running gags will find plenty to enjoy, not least of which are satisfying Easter eggs and nods to jokes that have been around so long it’s almost absurd. To his credit, the fabled director has no issues with poking fun at his own shortcomings as a cub filmmaker (some of which are hilarious and point out the ways in which we learn to be better at our respective crafts). Those who wish to enter the Smith fold at this point without almost encyclopedic prior knowledge will likely find themaselves lost at best and confused at worst. Still, that Smith managed to bring back so many players from a nearly 30-year-old film to reprise their roles speaks to his fortitude and, prob ably, his Reviewingkindness.

Froseth has moments of clarity and vulnerability that border on sublime, but when we never truly learn what stunted her emotional growth beyond the brief est mention of menopause, her naivete feels more horrible than endearing. Of course—and I say this as a cis man who isn’t trying to speak for anyone—women are often thrust into sexual roles in ways for which they weren’t prepared, though it’s sad to watch her go from an ostensibly self-assured human who can easily communicate her needs to a borderline obses sive child at times.Still, with the idea that men have long thrust women into untenable positions through various power dynamics underscoring the film, it does make sense: Dudes are great at flexing on women then treating them like they’re nothing.

sive landowner, and there’s something in the training montage about finding out who you really are. Mbedu represents some real interesting character develop ment that winds up unfortunately lost in the shuffle. The Woman King features so many subplots and side characters, in fact, that one starts to lose the central thread. In quieter moments when John Boyega (Star Wars), who plays the Dahomey king, appears on screen with Davis, or when the Agojie speak openly and plainly amongst each other, it soars. In adding so many smaller things to flesh out the world, its makers confuse the narrative. Still, when’s the last time you saw a mainstream film wherein just about everyone onscreen was a Black woman. Almost never? Cool. Oh, wait, no; it’s that other thing: Bogus. See The Woman King to learn, and because it’s fun; even if, solely as a film, it’s not the best thing to ever come out.
Even so, the core of the story centers on the relationship between Nanisca and Nawi (Thuso Mbedu, Scandal!). The latter joins the Agojie after a non-starter arranged marriage attempt with an abu

In short, a contested trade port in Dahomey be comes vital territory for warring factions, as well as Brazilian slavers, leading to an all-out confrontation between various forces.
Directed by Prince-Bythewood
“Yes!” someone in the theater said with particular oomph at the moment Viola Davis’ Nansica emerged from the shadows in the opening scene of The Woman King from director Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love & Basketball). And you know what? They weren’t wrong. From the instant Davis appears onscreen, it’s clear her character is a badass, and if recent interviews with the star of Fences and Suicide Squad are to be believed, the training to get there was no joke. Perhaps we’ve never seen Davis in this light before, but she’s so splendid ly comfortable (and tough) in the new historical epic that we roll with it and straight up believe she’d chop some heads if the situation called for it.

Davis is unquestionably ferocious as the long-fighting Nanisca, too, but her inner-circle of fellow warriors seal the deal. Captain Marvel alumna Lashana Lynch, for example, cuts a satisfying swath of kick-assery that is tempered by her character’s hu manity and humor—a surprising but dimensional ad dition that not only offers levity but a valuable lesson: “It is better to laugh,” she advises when describing a particularly painful encounter in her youth. Amen, sister. Dr. Strange’s Shelia Atim is similarly notewor thy in her vulnerable portrayal of the one woman who might question Nanisca—and who does cool spear attacks and acrobatic takedowns and such.

posed to be here today.” Those who don’t know what those words mean in this context probably won’t without tackling a filmmaker’s entire body of work, and that’s a big ask. Even so, you’ve gotta hand it to the guy for doing whatever the hell he wants, however he wants. People will see Clerks III out of some strange combination of attachment, sure, but also because it makes us feel like we’ve been in on something bigger than ourselves for decades. This one’s for the fans. It’s only for the fans. And that’s OK. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 115 min.
In Stick, young heroine Sarah Jo (Norwegian new comer Kristine Froseth) finds herself embroiled in an affair with her married boss, Josh (Jon Bernthal), after reaching her mid-20s and realizing she has zero sex ual experience. At home, Sarah Jo’s mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and sister (Taylour Page) dominate time and space with lovelorn tales of relationships gone awry, trysts both bad and good and, irritatingly, a glimpse into the mindset of would-be social media influencers. Here, Dunham dips her toe into backsto ries and almost subversive storytelling through casual references to women flexing their power. Sadly, we
don’t go deep enough to truly connect with anyone beyond Sarah Jo.
The Woman King dramatizes the powerful cadre known as the Agojie, a real-life, woman-fronted force of elite warriors who operated in Dahomey (a region in what we know today as the African nation of Benin) during the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as the fici tonalized Nanisca (Davis), their leader. I’m ashamed to say I’d never heard of them until this film, but their imprint upon history and pop culture—Black Panther’s Dora Milaje, anyone?—is unmistakable. Here, however, Prince-Bythewood and, unexpect edly, actress Maria Bello, who garners story-by and producer credits for her contributions, delve not only into the Agojie’s fierce fighting methodology, but the socio-political goings-on of the African region at the time and the untenable conditions it fostered for
She is somehow all at once the most and least interesting character in the film, but things take a turn when her boss’s wife (Dunham) discovers the affair— one in a long line—and Sarah Jo is thrust out of both a job and her first experiences of pseudo-romance. Reeling, she retreats into the world of pornography, discovering a performer who kind of resembles her boss but, more importantly and like her, also bears physical scars. Sarah Jo, we learn, had an emergency hysterectomy at 15; she’d already experienced meno pause at 17. In delving more into porn, she reasons that her former boss only dumped her because she’s bad at sex, and thus she sets out to experience and learn from every act she can imagine from A to Z through online dating. What could go wrong, right?
Once again we join Dante (Brian O’Halloran) and Randall (Jeff Anderson), employees of the now-infa mous Quick Stop convenience store where the first film was set; they now own the joint. We’ll gloss over their tenure as fast food workers in Clerks II for space constraints (and because it was just kind of a bad movie). All seems well in the world of our heroes, right up until Randall has a heart attack at work. He survives and decides the event was like a prompt for his making a movie based on his life. He then enlists his pals to make the film—which, we learn, is the very
same film that would become Clerks. Or is? Or always was? It’s a sequel. Or a prequel. Neither? Honestly, it’s a little bit meta and a whole lot of love letter to Smith’s own career. You’ll find nonstop callbacks and in-jokes for fans of Dogma and Clerks: The Animated Series; you’ll find cameos from Ben Affleck and Ethan Suplee and Fred Armisen and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Sadly, though, there is no Jason Lee (Mallrats’ Brodie Bruce, easily one of Smiths greatest creations and, honestly, a landmark performance from Lee), but there is some Rosario Dawson for some reason, and you’ll find plenty of the enduring “heroes” themselves, Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes and Smith). Those dudes sure love weed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For 15 years, Leo cartoonist Gary Larson created The Far Side, a hilarious comic strip featuring intelligent talking animals. It was syndicated in more than 1,900 newspapers. But like all of us, he has had failures, too. In one of his books, Larson describes the most disappointing event in his life. He was eating a meal in the same dining area as a famous cartoonist he admired, Charles Addams, creator of The Addams Family. Larson felt a strong urge to go over and introduce himself to Addams. But he was too shy and tongue-tied to do so. Don’t be like Larson in the coming weeks, dear Leo. Reach out and connect with receptive people you’d love to communicate with. Make the first move in contacting someone who could be important to you in the future. Be bold in seeking new links and affiliations. Always be respectful, of course.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Tips for making the most of the next three weeks: 1. Be proud as you teeter charismatically on the fence. Relish the power that comes from being in between. 2. Act as vividly congenial and staunchly beautiful as you dare. 3. Experiment with making artful arrangements of pretty much everything you are part of. 4. Flatter others sincerely. Use praise as one of your secret powers. 5. Cultivate an open-minded skepticism that blends discernment and curiosity. 6. Plot and scheme in behalf of harmony, but never kiss ass.
OVERWHELMED?
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Even when your courage has a touch of foolhardiness, even when your quest for adventure makes you a bit reckless, you can be resourceful enough to avoid dicey consequences. Maybe more than any other sign of the zodiac, you periodically outfox karma. But in the coming weeks, I will nevertheless counsel you not to barge into situations where rash boldness might lead to wrong moves. Please do not flirt with escapades that could turn into chancy gambles. At least for the foreseeable future, I hope you will be prudent and cagey in your quest for interesting and educational fun.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’m getting a psychic vision of you cuddled up in your warm bed, surrounded by stuffed animals and wrapped in soft, thick blankets with images of bunnies and dolphins on them. Your headphones are on, and the songs pouring into your cozy awareness are silky smooth tonics that rouse sweet memories of all the times you felt most wanted and most at home in the world. I think I see a cup of hot chocolate on your bedstand, too, and your favorite dessert. Got all that, fellow Cancerian? In the coming days and nights, I suggest you enjoy an abundance of experiences akin to what I’ve described here.

This treatment reduces the severity and length of a cold if taken within 24 hours of onset. So the results of all that research were modest, but they were also much better than nothing. During the coming weeks, you may experience comparable phenomena, Taurus: less spectacular outcomes than you might wish, but still very worthwhile.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are an extra authentic Aquarius if people say that you get yourself into the weirdest, most interesting trouble they’ve ever seen. You are an ultra-genuine Aquarius if people follow the twists and pivots of your life as they would a soap opera. And I suspect you will fulfill these potentials to the max in the coming weeks. The upcoming chapter of your life story might be as entertaining as any you have had in years. Luckily, imminent events are also likely to bring you soulful lessons that make you wiser and wilder. I’m excited to see what happens!

PSYCHICS
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In a poem to a lover, Pablo Neruda wrote, “At night I dream that you and I are two plants that grew together, roots entwined.” I suspect you Pisceans could have similar deepening and interweaving experiences sometime soon—not only with a lover but with any treasured person or animal you long to be even closer to than you already are. Now is a time to seek more robust and resilient intimacy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here’s a scenario that could be both an invigorating metaphor and a literal event. Put on rollerblades. Get out onto a long flat surface. Build up a comfortable speed. Fill your lungs with the elixir of life. Praise the sun and the wind. Sing your favorite songs. Swing your arms all the way forward and all the way back. Forward: power. Backward: power. Glide and coast and flow with sheer joy. Cruise along with confidence in the instinctive skill of your beautiful body. Evaporate thoughts. Free yourself of every concern and every idea. Keep rambling until you feel spacious and vast.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn poet William Stafford wrote, “Saying things you do not have to say weakens your talk. Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your hearing.” Those ideas are always true, of course, but I think it’s especially crucial that you heed them in the coming weeks. In my oracular opinion, you need to build your personal power right now. An important way to do that is by being discriminating about what you take in and put out. For best results, speak your truths as often and as clearly as possible. And do all you can to avoid exposing yourself to trivial and delusional “truths” that are really just opinions or misinformation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tips to get the most out of the next three weeks: 1. Use your imagination to make everything seem fascinating and wonderful. 2. When you give advice to others, be sure to listen to it yourself. 3. Move away from having a rigid conception of yourself and move toward having a fluid fantasy about yourself. 4. Be the first to laugh at and correct your own mistakes. (It’ll give you the credibility to make even better mistakes in the future.) 5. Inspire other people to love being themselves and not want to be like you.
PSYCHIC/TAROT READINGS & SPIRITUAL COUNSELING
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Mary Oliver wrote, “There is within each of us a self that is neither a child, nor a servant of the hours. It is a third self, occasional in some of us, tyrant in others. This self is out of love with the ordinary; it is out of love with time. It has a hunger for eternity.” During the coming weeks, Scorpio, I will be cheering for the ascendancy of that self in you. More than usual, you need to commune with fantastic truths and transcendent joys. To be in maximum alignment with the good fortune that life has prepared for you, you must give your loving attention to the highest and noblest visions of your personal destiny that you can imagine.
