WE CAN’T FORGET

The 7 Days headline read: “NEW SANTA FE AIRPORT MANAGER SAYS THINGS ARE LOOKING GOOD.” Hopefully he’ll overcome that hurdle where people are all like, “There’s an airport in Santa Fe?”” For the airport’s commercial and residential neighbors, forgetting that the airport exists is an impossibility—and our protections seem to be eroding fast. The City of Santa Fe has removed the official noise abatement policy, which stipulates reasonable quiet hours and discourages disrespectful pilot activity, from its website. The policy, as well as the airport’s noise complaint hotline number, are also conspicuously absent from the airport’s website, flysantafe.com.The decision to conceal this information from the public sends two clear signals: Community protections matter little to city leadership, and being a good neighbor is not a priority for our airport’s new management.

THERE’S A REASON

Santa Fe, in the ‘90s, was full of younger people from all over who embraced working in fine dining and we could actually afford to live in Santa Fe proper. You can blame the lack of affordable housing and various other socioeconomic disparities on the attraction being gone. This is sadly a reap-what-you-sow issue.

PACs Prep for Housing Fight

Pro and con groups emerge in advance of high-end home excise tax ballot question

BY EVAN CHANDLER evan@sfreporter.com

Voters in the upcoming Nov. 7 election can expect messages from groups both in favor and against a proposed high-end home tax to bolster the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. One political action committee has already formed in support of the tax, while opposing realtors plan to finalize paperwork soon to declare an official committee.

United for Affordable Housing, chaired by state Rep. Andrea Romero, D-Santa Fe, aims to ask voters to approve the ballot measure through “a traditional campaign” that explains the tax and whom it would help, Romero says.

“Our campaign is going to really be knocking on doors, getting out in the com munity and having that direct discussion,” Romero tells SFR. “For me, even if you don’t want to get into the math of the excise tax, when you look at where affordability is most challenging, it’s for young people, it’s for working families, it’s for those who have been here for generations and the laborers who make things run in our city every day. And that’s who this tax serves.”

The proposed tax, also sometimes dubbed the “mansion tax,” would levy a 3% excise tax on the portion of all home sales exceeding $1 million at the time of scale.

PAC Deputy Campaign Manager Natalie Sept tells SFR she “felt person ally compelled” to work toward the tax with United for Affordable Housing because of the disparities she noticed when she moved to Santa Fe four years ago from Portland, Oregon. She says she’s using her background in commu nications to help the committee reach voters. The committee plans to join several community partners with spe cialties in housing, homelessness and education and will host town halls and information sessions to further sup

port the tax as a permanent funding source.

“I am really excited about the potential of this measure and what it will do, specifically that it’s not just brick-and-mortar homes or affordable units, but renter’s assistance, eviction prevention, and a variety of other things so we have more housing security,” Sept says. “I think it’s really important that people understand that this is going to help us leverage the money we already have in the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to help even more people.”

Advocates estimate the tax would generate about $4.5 million per year for the trust fund, based on data from about 1,552 home sales of $1 million or more in Santa Fe between 2018 and 2022. Supporters, including Mayor Alan Webber, say drumming up cash for the education effort will be essential to securing voter approval.

“Make no mistake, those opposed to this tax—the Realtors Association—are going to run a well-funded campaign, so we’re going to have to raise the money needed to make sure our facts counter their opinions,” Webber wrote in an email endorsement of the excise tax Aug. 27 following the City Council vote to put the question on the

favorable public testimony during two hearings this summer, the real-estate lobby has already jumped into the fray to get out the “no” vote.

In 2009, realtors had a primary role in organizing against the passage of a simi-

lar-style tax rejected by voters.

City Clerk Kristine Bustos-Mihelcic tells SFR members of the Santa Fe Association of Realtors declared their intention to file as a PAC on Friday. The trade group last month purchased ads opposing the tax, including $800 for an ad in SFR that reads, among other points: “Tell Mayor Webber and City Councilors to Nix this Recycled Home Tax Now.”

At least one public opinion poll is also in the field, with residents reporting both phone calls and text messages asking them to rate the messages from tax opponents. Both United for Affordable Housing and the Santa Fe Association of Realtors denied hiring pollsters.

Donna Reynolds, governmental affairs director, acted as campaign treasurer for the Santa Fe Housing Opportunity Partnership, which raised and spent about $144,000 opposing the 2009 tax proposal.

Right now, Reynolds says the association is “in a responsive mode” working to prepare an educational campaign “to engage voters” on its concerns raised regarding the tax. These include how officials landed on the 3% number; whether revenue estimates are accurate; and whether dollars already allocated to housing from the general fund would continue to be used for that purpose.

“The option [the City Council and the mayor] chose is something that’s quite divisive and will impact Santa Fe homeowners, so they must feel like this is important,” Reynolds tells SFR. “The association members value homeownership, and I think the real estate community recognizes a housing crisis. We just don’t think this is the

While Reynolds sees echoes of the past, Romero notes a number of differences between the current efforts and the 2009 vote, including this time the question appears in a general election instead of a special election. In 2009, those who voted against the measure made up 54% of the 8,404 voters—a difference of a little over 700 votes.

“[A general election cycle] gives us a real opportunity to galvanize those who are already going to come out to vote, but certainly those like myself who have been affected by the lack of affordability,” Romero says. “I just feel we are in a different place now with what has been so challenging, and I hope that our tent will get bigger and this will really drive folks to the polls.”

ATTACKED AT SCHOOL

BY MO CHARNOT mo@sfreporter.com

Editor’s note: references to sexual assault. The pseudonym “Hannah” appears in this story to shield the identity of the victim and her family.

Apandemic, Hannah looked forward to mak ing new friends when in-person learning resumed in the fall of 2021.

“I was so excited, because I loved being around other people,” Hannah tells SFR.

That year, she enrolled in three Advanced Placement classes and chose Speech and Debate as an extracurricular activity, taking a speech class first thing in the morning and engaging in after-school debate club meets.

Thirty-eight days later Hannah left the school unconscious in an ambulance after a classmate drugged and raped her— allegations detailed in a lawsuit filed last month in First Judicial District Court.

The lawsuit details Hannah’s ordeal, as well as institutional weaknesses that allowed attacks to happen on the campus— and a laundry list of other ones from the last six years.

Hannah never returned to in-person high school classes again; her accused attacker was out of lockup after just nine months.

She says the student who assaulted her, Badr el-Badri, had been verbally and physically harassing her since the beginning of the school year. While a few of her friends and a teacher who witnessed the boy’s behavior asked if she needed help, Hannah thought she had handled the situation.

“It’s a sad reality that young women have to deal with. It’s pervasive, it’s happening all over the place, and everyone’s really desensitized to it,” her mother tells SFR. “Looking back, we can say there were all these red flags and warning signs, and I’m sure that teachers and students feel the same way.”

Those “red flags and warning signs” were ignored, according to the lawsuit brought by Hannah and her parents, which alleges school administrators and security officials’ negligence led to her attack.

“Not only did something tragic happen

to a student at Santa Fe High School, but also, this is an impact case to highlight problems with school safety and, hopefully, improve it,” says Kate Ferlic, one of the family’s lawyers.

Though the court has sealed documents from the criminal case under the state Children’s Code’s confidentiality rules because El-Badri was 17 years old, a minor, at the time of his arrest, a police report and the lawsuit from Ferlic and Ben Osborn of Egolf + Ferlic +Martinez + Harwood, LLC provide details about the incident that occurred during the Sept. 13, 2021, school day. The lawsuit names not only the district, the school board and the alleged attacker as defendants, but also then-SFHS Principal Carl Marano, Superintendent Hilario “Larry” Chavez and contract security firm Allied Universal.

SFPS tells SFR the district and its em-

Why didn’t the school district protect her?

ployees named in the lawsuit won’t comment on ongoing litigation. Marano is no longer principal of SFHS, but has since been promoted to assistant superintendent for K-8 instructional support. Allied Universal did not respond to repeated messages seeking comment.

Hannah’s lawsuit alleges the district’s administrators were aware el-Badri had a previous record of violence both on and off-campus. At the time of the assault, the court document claims, he was on probation for a violent crime and wore an ankle monitor by order of a juvenile court. Nonetheless, the complaint says, administrators elected to treat el-Badri “just like any other student, subject to no monitoring or restrictions.”

Additionally, Marano “declined to require teachers to conduct roll calls at the beginning of each period,” throughout September 2021, meaning the school had “no procedures in place to identify whether and when a student had been abducted,” the complaint alleges.

On the day of Hannah’s attack, el-Badri had returned to school after being suspended for threatening a teacher earlier in the month, and around lunchtime, Hannah says he pressured her into taking what toxicology reports later indicated was the tranquilizer Flualprazolam, which he told her was a Xanax.

While she admits she was nervous about taking the pill and normally would not have done so, Hannah says at the time she felt nothing could escalate further while she was on school grounds.

“I was like, ‘There’s security here all the

time, they crack down on everybody, we have security cameras,’” Hannah explains in an interview. “I thought I was going to be good, like there’s no way anything more severe could happen.”

After Hannah became visibly disoriented from taking the drug, the lawsuit says, el-Badri paid another student $20 to use his car to sexually assault her over the next several hours in the student parking lot. She was “unable to, and did not and

could not give consent to such acts,” the court document states. She ended up partly clothed and unconscious in a nearby portable toilet.

“I honestly never thought I would go to school one day and my day would end with me being dragged out of a porta-potty,” Hannah says. “I didn’t think I’d come to school on Monday and my whole life would change.”

When Hannah didn’t appear to be picked up after school around 4 pm as planned, her mother waited for half an

hour and then called the police. A person visiting the campus discovered Hannah and someone called for an ambulance at 5:15 pm.

Hannah’s mother says that’s when a school staff member called to say her daughter was on the way to the hospital. Near 6 pm that day, both a school staff member and el-Badri’s father called the police to report his son was under the influence of a substance and out of control at the school, according to 911 dispatch logs.

After she learned Hannah was en route to the hospital, her mother called Hannah’s father, who drove straight to the hospital from his Colorado home. The next morning, Hannah awoke to see her father’s car parked outside her house. Although her memory of the day before took a while to return, she says that’s the moment she knew something was wrong.

“When I woke up, I was severely confused,” Hannah says. “I went downstairs, and my dad just runs up to me and hugs me, and I started crying, because I thought, ‘This must be a very serious situation,’ and I started realizing what happened yesterday.”

Her mother met with Marano and other school officials the day after the attack.

“They were pretty impersonal about it and defensive, because I think they realized this was a touchy situation,” her mother says. “I think they were all just shocked, and probably had legal direction at that point.”

The lawsuit alleges the incident occurred because the school district lacks a

Santa Fe High School’s student parking lot is one of the areas of the school that the lawsuit alleges was lacking in security at the time of the assault.

policy protecting students from other students who are “known to be dangerous,” as el-Badri was neither monitored nor kept separate from the rest of the student body despite pending criminal charges from an off-campus incident.

“Santa Fe Public Schools has a continuing duty to keep students safe when at school, and it’s not just their moral obligation,” Ferlic tells SFR. “The law requires the school to ensure that students are safe on campus and have an equal opportunity for an education.”

SFR reviewed police reports from SFHS between Sept. 13, 2016 and Sept. 13, 2022, provided to Ferlic via the state Inspection of Public Records Act. The documents record more than 50 reports from the campus, including at least 20 assault/battery cases. The records also confirm police investigated a sexual assault on campus in February 2022. In 2020, a jury awarded damages to a different Santa Fe High School principal after she spoke up about allegations of student sexual misconduct among student athletes in 2017.

Despite these reports, the district policy doesn’t call for segregating students accused of crimes, even violent ones.

SFPS Policy 325, “Students Charged With Serious Crimes,” states students who are released awaiting trial or sentencing “may remain able to continue attending school.”

While the policy acknowledges students charged with

serious crimes can “create apprehension, fear, or diversion on the part of other students or district staff,” it does not set specific limits on when a student charged or convicted of a violent crime would not be able to attend school freely. The board last updated the policy Aug. 7, 2012.

Both Hannah’s family and her attorneys say they hope the litigation causes the school district to strengthen security measures through its hiring practices and attendance-taking, as well as create a stronger alert system to notify parents of

incidents occurring at the schools.

The suit against SFPS marks Ferlic’s latest attempt to address institutional weakness while fighting for victims. She advocated for a teenage sexual assault victim in a 2018 lawsuit against CYFD and Familyworks, as well as a patient at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in 2019 and a group of athletes at Eastern New Mexico University, to name a few.

“We did reach out to the school in advance of filing to determine whether they wanted to resolve the case and improve safety standards, and they declined,” she says. “Litigation really becomes a tool for change at a local level and a national level.”

Santa Fe Public Schools has already made some changes that appear to address the gaps in security outlined in the lawsuit, including reduced spending on private security. The lawsuit alleges guards on contract at Santa Fe High through Allied Universal Security Services would “routinely miss patrols and check-ins” and were “notoriously derelict in their duties.”

The Board of Education signed a contract with Allied for the 2021-22 school year, in which it agreed to pay $1.04 million for services at 11 sites, including Santa Fe and Capital high schools. This year, however, SFPS Executive Director of Safety and Security Mario Salbidrez says he pushed for safety aides at the schools to be hired in-house instead.

For the 2023-24 school year, the district contracted for just $170,000 with the company.

“We were looking for a more complete package of an employee that can assist our staff and students,” Salbidrez, a former city police deputy chief, tells SFR. “When you have a contract company, they’re limited to how much information or outreach they can help with when it comes to students, because they’re not district employees. They don’t have all the benefits and abilities to meet everybody and get to know them.”

Plus, he says, in-house guards receive more training, including CPR training, handling special-needs students and student interpersonal conflict.

Salbidrez says the district had been moving toward the change as early as 2019, but “then, this great thing happened to us—COVID. So, we had to hit the brakes on everything…for the next two years, basically that whole program idea got put on hold.”

Coming out of the pandemic, Allied Universal had trouble finding staff, and the district “gave them every opportunity to get up to staffing levels,” according to Salbidrez. Eventually, he approached the superintendent to suggest the district offer better pay incentives to establish new staff positions, reducing Allied Universal’s role in school security in the 2022-23 school year.

Since then, 24 out of the 25 safety aide positions the district opened for hire have been filled, and 12 of its 28 schools have inhouse safety aides. The district’s remaining contract with Allied Universal covers limited after-school patrols.

Salbidrez says Santa Fe High School has high security needs because of its size (127 acres), layout and student population (about 1,600). The district uses fencing, safety aides stationed at the parking lot

and upwards of 200 cameras on the school grounds, with plans for more.

“This is the hardest school I have, because this is a college campus—it is so porous. Kids have to walk from one building to another, to another throughout the whole day,” he says.

After students returned to classes in-person in 2021, Salbidrez says student conflict increased across the schools, but has since “settled down.” He notes that the district’s policy calls for staff to intervene when a student is in danger.

“We have that moral obligation not just to the student, but to the parents as well, that they go home the same way they came,” Salbidrez says.

Despite whatever improvements the district has implemented, the events of 2021 still greatly impacted Hannah’s access to education.

“I sat up in my room for a month, watched Grey’s Anatomy and contemplated what I was going to do with my life,” she says.

During the first month she was out of school, Hannah’s mother says the school administration did not inform Hannah’s teachers about her situation, which led to consequences about her absence and late assignments.

By October, Hannah had transferred to Desert Sage Academy, SFPS’ online K-12 school, where she says she received more support from teachers and administrators.

“Emotionally, online was all that we could manage, which is just not what she ever envisioned or ever wanted for herself,” Hannah’s mother says.

Keeping up with schoolwork while recovering was already a struggle, but the trial process only made things more difficult for Hannah and her family. As part of an agreement where he admitted to a lesser charge, they say el-Badri was committed to the custody of the state Children, Youth and Families Department for one year. SFR called el-Badri’s father, who said the family declined to comment.

For Hannah, the outcome was frustrating, especially considering the amount of time it took for the case to make its way through the system—longer than her attacker’s actual sentence. She says, “He got sentenced to a 365-day commitment. I suffered for 400 days, and he didn’t get barely anything.”

New Mexico law, however, calls for such a sentence when a juvenile court finds a minor delinquent and imposes a one-year commitment: The minor may spend no more than nine months in a facility and no less than 90 days on supervised release.

Hannah and her family only learned el-Badri would be released when they traveled to Albuquerque to appeal that he serve his full sentence.

“After crying and saying everything we did, they looked me and my mom in the eye and said… ‘He’s getting out on Aug. 12,” Hannah says. “I was very upset, because they could have told us this on the phone.”

Corey Adams, CYFD’s deputy director for Juvenile Justice Field Services, tells SFR that generally speaking, sentencing recommendations for juvenile offenders can be “somewhat limited at times,” though he would not comment on the specific case.

Adams says when a juvenile court transfers legal custody of a minor to CYFD, commitments can be “for one year, two years, or until the age of 21 based on the severity of the charges and how the district attorney decided to pursue the case.”

He says the state’s focus on reform for delinquent youth explains part of the reason juvenile offenders rarely receive sentences longer than a few years. Adams adds that CYFD uses trauma-informed care for youth committed to its detention facilities to help positively impact their future behaviors.

“Personally, my approach to dealing with juvenile delinquency cases is to try and enforce accountability for their actions while also providing support and as-

sistance in addressing the factors that led to the behaviors,” Adams says.

However, the lighter sentences made Hannah’s family feel unheard.

“There’s more support for the criminal than the victim,” Hannah’s mother says.

“They put all these efforts into the crim-

inal, and try to get him through the program…and here, she’s barely hanging on.”

Hannah earned a diploma from Desert Sage this past May, an accomplishment to which she credits teachers who gave her leeway with assignments and allowed her to take days off.

“Desert Sage Academy saved me, because I was ready to not be in school anymore,” Hannah says. “They really worked with me on everything.”

Now, she’s enrolled in Vogue College of Cosmetology’s four-month esthetics program, where she says she feels more comfortable attending because it’s a majority-female school.

“I can’t go back to normal schools; there’s a reason why I’m not in college,” Hannah says. “The reason I didn’t even apply for college is, I cannot sit next to another person that is a male, that starts talking to me, and be fine.”

Hannah continues therapy with Solace Sexual Assault Services to work on handling her triggers, which she says took her a while to learn to recognize and manage. When she first sought out the agency’s services, she had difficulty opening up.

“I was very quiet, still. It hadn’t really hit me yet, what had happened to me,” Hannah says. “I would sit there for an hour and barely say anything. It’s hard to come to terms with it. It seems easier to just shut down than actually talk about it, because you don’t want to believe it happened to you.”

At Solace Sexual Assault Services, the staff relies on the “expertise of survivors” to treat their patients, says Executive Director María José Rodríguez Cádiz. Solace provides crisis stabilization and long-term therapy through a team of professionals who specialize in sexual violence-related trauma. All services of the program are free to survivors.

“When it comes to long-term therapy, it can last as long as the survivor needs it,” Cádiz tells SFR.

Hannah says Solace’s therapy was vital to her recovery.

“I probably wouldn’t still be here if they wouldn’t have helped me actually be able to say, ‘Yes, I was raped. Yes, I can get through it.’ It took me a long time,” Hannah says.

Despite her progress, it’s still hard for both Hannah and her mother to even drive by Santa Fe High School.

“If I had a kid, I wouldn’t let her go to that school in particular, especially if I knew how they ended up handling the situation, and really show no remorse for the victim or anything,” Hannah says. “There would be no question.”

Hannah and her mother have been taking the time to heal emotionally since the 2021 assault through therapy with Solace Sexual Assault Services, and hope the lawsuit will lead to improvements in school security and student wellness.

ART OPENING FRI/15

SURFACE/LEVELS

The SFR art section has featured no shortage of writers who’ve discussed their exhaustion with landscape paintings—especially in Santa Fe, where it almost seems like the galleries think they’ll get in trouble if they don’t constantly show them. But every so often, someone special comes along and makes us feel sincere emotions about landscapes. This time out, it’s James Ayres, whose textured and borderline haunting Scratching the Surface feels both novel and familiar. With a combination of impasto technique, rollers, sprays, palette knives and color mastery, Ayres not only reframes layered and ethereal visions of trees, cactuses, rivers, roadsides and mesas, he captures light in a way few can muster. Yes, these are Southwest landscapes, but through the lens of something strange and ungraspable. (ADV)

Although we’ve grown accustomed to a certain level of water quality here in this weird country, folks like water som Marti Mills are on a whole other level. Mills joins the fray at downtown coffeeshop REMIX Audio Bar this week for a fine water tasting featuring numerous waters from around the world such as Aura and Saint Aniol, the latter of which is naturally carbonated. You’ll learn how to discern high quality water and why drinking the good stuff not only tastes better, but can have a tangible effect on your physical and mental health. We should also mention most fine water tastes absolutely delicious, so what have you got to lose outside of your preconceived notions? (ADV)

Fine Water Tasting: High Desert Hydration: 11 am Saturday, Sept. 16. $35. REMIX Audio Bar 101 W Marcy St., (505) 803-7949.

FILM MON/18

INDIGIELICIOUS

Those who pay any attention to broader culinary trends will surely have noticed a resurgence of Indigenous foods and methodologies in recent years. We’ve seen it on the national scale with The Sioux Chef, Sean Sherman, and chef Kimberly Tilsen-Brave Heart (Oglala Lakota) for certain. Now New Mexican artist, filmmaker and food aficionado Natalie Benally (Diné) sets out to contextualize the concept with her new documentary, Indigenize the Plate. In her film, Benally travels to a Quechuan community in Peru to discover both food-based and ceremonial similarities to practices back home, all while broadening the conversations surrounding community, sustainability and sustenance. Benally herself joins her director Ernie Zahn at the CCA for a screening of the film and a conversation about its making and implications. (ADV)

Indigenize the Plate Screening and Conversation: 6:30 pm Monday, Sept. 18. $15. Center for Contemporary Arts, 1050 Old Pecos Trail, (505) 982-1338

EVENT SAT/16

Like Mike

Friends and family to gather in celebration of late artist/musician Mikey Rae

As we come up on the Nov. 23 anniversary of the death of Santa Fe artist Mikey Rae, who often created under the moniker Legit Concerns, friends and family of the late local icon have Rae’s body of work in mind, according to Rae’s brother Andrew. This weekend, those close to Rae will gather to celebrate his life and art at the Mikey Rae Art Show, a combination live performance, raffle, dance party and archive kick-off event featuring notable locals who knew, created with or otherwise crossed paths with Rae.

“This is sort of in response to the mood of everything with the first [memorial] we did at Meow Wolf, when everyone was still in shock and coming together out of sadness,” Andrew Rae tells SFR. “This is more trying to bring everyone together with levity and in a way where we can think about preserving his legacy as a musician and an artist.”

Friends slated to perform under the name Mikey Rae Family Band include Westin McDowell, John Francis Mustain, Hannie Lyles, Dylan Blanchard, Leo Brown, Maggie O’Knapp, Jaleah Kuehmichel and Rae’s brothers Andrew and Christopher. They’ll play some of Rae’s tunes, Andrew says, and then the night will evolve into a dance party featuring Rae favorites like

Orbison and Petty, plus his own dancier jamz. Additionally, anyone who owns artwork created by Rae is encouraged to bring it to the event so it can be photographed and properly archived, then eventually transformed into a more permanently accessible trove.

“We already have a lot of his art, but the idea is that people bring their own to be exhibited and archived,” Andrew explains. “Then it will be returned—you’re not getting rid of it or selling it.”

Andrew also says the raffle will include various Legit Concerns pieces donated by Meow Wolf and other works. And that though the event is free to attend, a $5 suggested donation will go toward the newly established Mikey Rae Scholarship at Santa Fe’s Dragonfly Art Studio.

“That’ll all go to supported underresourced kids participating in their summer camps,” Andrew says. “Mikey was a participant at some of the figure drawing classes they’d do with [arts educator] Gary Myers.” (Alex De Vore)

For Santa Feans of a certain ilk, musician and songwriter Eliza Lutz has been a stalwart champion of local music, DIY ethics and multi-disciplinary artistry. As the singer and principal songwriter for post-rock quartet Future Scars, Lutz has proven a valuable and vulnerable mainstay in local music—which kind of made their move to Albuquerque a couple years back a real heartbreaker. Still, Future Scars has remained active and, despite their own local exodus, Lutz has remained a friend to Santa Fe this whole time (much of their band still lives here, too.) This week, Future Scars takes the stage hot on the heels of their Half Life, one that came out on cassette and one that finds the band unifying like never before for a fresher and more varied sound featuring more collaborative songwriting. It’s a banger, alright. We caught up with Lutz ahead of Future Scars’ upcoming show with Albuquerque’s brilliant Prism Bitch and Los Mocos (6 pm Friday, Sept. 14. $10. The Bridge@Santa Fe Brewing Co., 37 Fire Place, (505) 557-6182). This interview has been edited for length at clarity.

(Alex De Vore)

OK, you’ve got some new songs. What was that writing process like?

I think maybe the most notable thing about this record rather than our last one…it’s been exactly four years since that previous record. I had a lot of song outlines, then we came together as a band. We had a changeover with Dylan McDowell [taking over on drums for Marcus DiFilippo] with us, and it was our first chance for writing collectively as a group—which was really nice. We had stuff going on into the beginning of 2020, and the pandemic obviously switched all our priorities around, so

we took a lot more time and weren’t rushed. Sometimes these things can feel like we just gotta get it down, but this time...our collective views on a lot of things came together, and we were thinking both personally and collectively about...health and healing and things that linger.

Was that weird getting used to as someone who has kind of written the bulk of the material?

I wanted it so badly, and it was so good. I mean, I have a lot of ideas and I can steer the ship when it’s required, but it’s not my preference. And I’m writing with these great people, so it was fun. I’m still doing vocals and the lyric writing, but it was so collaborative. Someone would be like, ‘Here’s a theme I’m writing what do you think?’ [These songs delve into] literal anxieties, or the things people do with good intentions that cause harm; fading memory; dealing with fatigue; loss; collective grief.

One song started with a tune [keyboardist] Dylan Blanchard was working on, or one song came from a motif [bassist] Paul [Wagner] was working on. I think all of us in the band went through a lot of pretty profound personal changes, some spurred by the pandemic and some maybe catalyzed for having to face hard decisions. I know for me, I think the health problems I was working on...I was masking them for a long time and trying to keep up with the pace of the things. Suddenly, I had all this space to be sick and it was kind of a relief; it kind of, in a weird way, made me feel less sick. Going into making this last record came with big feels and this kind of push of energy to move on, and I think there’s a lot to be said for that. It was cathartic to find a different kind of quiet in how we collaborated and wrote this record, and it really did change the sound—we still get heavy, but we get intimate, too. I need to sing a little more chill sometimes.

There’s the digital version of the record, but is there a physical release? We released it on tape. We opted not for vinyl because there were delays [with pressing vinyl], but we might do that later. We were just kind of ready. And because I’ve gotten into printmaking...the process of making this record seemed to extrapolate what I think printmaking represents: the slow, methodical carving away at something until you’re left with what remains. I feel like that’s how our songwriting ended up being, and what the songs are about.

BY ALEX DE VORE alex@sfreporter.com

Last March, following more than four decades running Midtown bookshop/book exchange Book Mountain, owner Peggy Frank—who is locally famous or infamous depending on whom you ask—announced that rather than selling her store when she retired, she hoped to gift it and its many tomes to the type of people who not only love books, but who would carry on its lega cy. And though a pair of Santa Feans who had initially hoped to take over the shop ultimately balked at the deal, they opened a Southside shop of their own this week.

Yet Geronimo’s Books almost never happened. Book Mountain opened in 1980, man, so people have kind of grown accustomed to its presence. A buyer Frank had lined up last spring backed out, leaving her with thousands of books and little recourse. It looked like the store would just plain close, but then came Phil Geronimo and Lauren Ayer, a married couple and pair of book fanatics who’d often shopped at Frank’s business.

Geronimo and Ayer met while the former was working at the long-since closed Zia Diner some years ago, and a chance conversation about baseball brought them together. Geronimo would go on to work at local bookshops like op.cit and Collected Works for a decade; Ayer had been a book lover since her aunt, a grade school teacher, taught her to read when she was a toddler. After college at UCLA and San Francisco State University, Ayer went into tech in the Bay, but was feeling burned out following years of 60hour work weeks when a six-month leave of absence spurred by a retreat with writer Natalie Goldberg brought her to Santa Fe. She’s been here ever since. Geronimo, meanwhile, is as puro local as it comes— he grew up on Baca Street and, like Ayer, developed a borderline obsession with the written word when he was young.

“I spent so much time in the library,” he tells SFR. “I [was learning to be] a li-

brary aide in sixth grade and again in junior high, then I went to New Mexico State University, which had this huge library, and from then on I just spent so much time there reading the stuff I wanted to read.”

Looping back around to last spring, when Book Mountain’s Frank said she’d give Ayer and Geronimo the shop for free, Geronimo’s years of experience working at local bookshops and Ayer’s affinities made the cash-

record, Book Mountain has taken on new proprietors and will stay open, but I shan’t belabor what is surely a complicated situation. Having briefly worked at the shop in my early 20s, I know just what Frank meant when she told the Santa Fe New Mexican, “I’ve got this reputation for being hardheaded and inflexible. And I am,” following the dissolution. So Ayer and Geronimo’s plan to launch their own store seems like a good outcome. Geronimo’s Books opened officially on Monday, Sept. 11.

With Geronimo’s Books dealing mainly in used items, stock will surely be transient. Still, we asked Geronimo and Ayer for recommendations, all of which are, as of this writing, available at the shop.

less transaction seem a godsend for a town like ours. While Santa Fe counts a number of bookshops, its Midtown and Southside remain underserved in this arena. The all-paperback Book Mountain had thus become a bit of an oasis over the last 40 years, especially with its trade policies that found customers able to drop off books in exchange for store credit. That it stayed open felt important; that local book lovers almost certainly know Geronimo as a stalwart presence in word commerce and as a writer/poet himself seemed a no-brainer.

Frank announced the transition in March, but by last July, however, Geronimo and Ayer had backed out of the deal. For the

ALEXDEVORE

Like Book Mountain, it’ll run partially through trade-ins from customers (credit will be determined on a book-by-book basis), but Geronimo and Ayer tell SFR they’re in the process of onboarding a distributor for select new releases. Additionally, they say, they have high hopes for transforming their space into not just a haven for words, but a community hangout for writers, poets, readers and so on. Scholar Timothy Nelson, for example, is slated to do a reading for his book, Blackdom, New Mexico: The Significance of the Afro-Frontier in October, and poets Christopher J. Johnson, Tommy Archuleta and Daniel Bonhourst are scheduled to read on Sept. 16 in a benefit for the Prison Drum Circle Project—an initiative of Archuleta’s that aims to bring music to incarcerated people as a means for bolstering mental health.

“I could really dig having live music, somebody with their guitar to come in on weekends and poetry readings,” Geronimo says. “And the poets wouldn’t have to worry about expenses—they could sell their own books if they have them, because I just want to get people into the store. We want a place where people can hang out. The point is there’s something for everyone.”

“And we’ll have signed copies and first editions of books,” Ayer adds. “We want people to cherish books.”

“A hilarious retelling of Macbeth through the perspective of the fool.”

Lauren’s Picks

1. Collected Poems by James Wright

“When I was a kid my parents read to me and my brother and sister, my favorites, were poetry. But when I got to college, this book blew away everything I knew about poetry and the poet that I wanted to be.”

2. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

“My grandfather fought in WWll, this book is the first book that gave me a taste of what he may have gone through.”

3. The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

“I hate to admit I saw the movie first, which was lovely, but the book was so beautiful so much more emotional.”

4. The Book of Joan by Lidia Yuknavitch

“I love the juxtaposition of Joan of Ark as the protagonist in a sci-fi novel.”

5. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

“I’ve read them, it’s true to life.”

Geronimo’s Books brings the good old-fashioned book shop back to the Southside

Lauren Ayer and Phil Geronimo want to get books to pretty much everybody at their new shop, Geronimo’s Books.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 Review

BY ALEX DE VORE alex@sfreporter.com

Nobody saw Nia Vardalos’ My Big Fat Greek Wedding coming when it released in 2002, but the filmmaker’s first foray into the world of movies proved a critical and financial darling. It was a fun film that worked by being genuine and cute.

Then came the sequel no one wanted in 2016, which would have been forgivable if not for the recent release of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3—a sequel so devoid of humor, originality, pep, enjoyment, stakes, drama, good writing, interesting cinematography, music or even hope that it almost feels insulting to have watched it. I mean, I’m a Greek dude myself, and I’ve seen how our families operate—not a one of us goes around reminding literally fucking everyone that we’re Greek at any opportunity, yet that’s the bulk of Vardalos’ newest film.

This time out, the Portokalos family with all of its barely-there facsimiles of characters head to Greece for a family reunion at the behest of up-and-coming matriarch Toula (Vardalos). Everyone’s there, from the dimensionless brother (Louis Mandylor) and the pair of aunties who are just so full of non-threatening sass (Andrea Martin and Maria Vacratsis) to Toula’s

+ VERY WEIRD AND FUNNY

- DOESN’T EFFECTIVELY EXAMINE ITS PREMISE

Ayo Edebiri is having one hell of a run. Not only does she play the second lead on the wildly popular foodservice drama series The Bear, she picked up some voice work as April O’Neil in Mutant Mayhem, the first good Ninja Turtles outing in who knows how long, and now stars alongside the very funny Rachel Sennott in Bottoms, a sort of teardown of horny teen comedy cinema tropes told in borderline Airplane! type parody.

Bottoms find’s Edebiri’s Josie and longtime best pal PJ (Sennott, who also co-wrote the script) hitting senior year and desperate to fuck. Think of it like Olivia Wilde’s enjoyable 2019 comedy Booksmart, only sillier and much dirtier. Platonic friends PJ and Josie are queer, and both have leaned heavily into a rumor they served time in juvie over the summer as a means of gaining clout. To get closer to their crushes Brittany and Isabel (Kaia Gerber and Havana Rose Liu), our heroines devise a faux self-defense class that operates under the guise of empowerment while actually operating like a fight club. They bring their teacher Mr. G (a surprisingly hysterical Marshawn Lynch) along for the ride as a faculty advisor.

And so begins the lie, which actually does start to make its participants—a ragtag group of weirdo women who join for various reasons—feel empowered. Meanwhile, the players on the school football

non-Greek husband (John Corbett) and daughter (Elena Kampouris, who kind of just makes ruh-roh faces anytime she’s on screen).

Toula’s dad died at some point between the last movie and now, so she’s supposed to bring his journal to his childhood best pals from the old country. And so begins 90 minutes of jokes about souvlaki and sheep who wander indoors and the overbearing nature of Greek moms and blah fucking blah blah blah.

Vardalos, who wrote the script and here directs, might have bothered to at least not recycle literally three jokes ad nauseam, but instead chooses to stitch together roughly 40 scenes that only connect because the characters tell us so. In fact, so little of MBFGW3 reads like a cohesive film that I was nearly convinced I’d had a stroke before I walked in. Rather than craft something meaningful, like the first film, Vardalos has instead tossed some deus ex machina and MacGuffin elements into the type of script that might serve as a warning for what not to do, peppered in a few jokes about food and cooking, snuck in the quickest bit of

team led by the irascible and arrogant Jeff (Nicholas Galitzine, who absolutely nails his role as a dangerously entitled prick) feel threatened by the show of feminine solidarity and together set out to destroy the club. Caught up in football fever and a rivalry with a nearby school, the faculty and student body are of no help. Will Josie and PJ bone their crushes? Will the football team get between them? Why does Jeff suck so hard?!

For those who missed the criminally underrated Shiva Baby, being the last time Sennott teamed with Bottoms director Emma Seligman (the film’s other writer), this new one is a must. It identifies so many terrifying high school norms and lambasts them that it almost feels like a public service. From toxic masculinity and sports culture to entitlement, violence and sex, Sennott and Seligman’s script attempts to address the absurdity of what we consider normal, and Edebiri’s deceptively high-strung performance steals the show at every turn. Sennott’s funny, too, but wisely gets out of Edebiri’s way. The larger cast of freaks and geeks feels so right.

Bottoms does sadly stop short of truly deconstructing the issues it brings to the surface, though it’s likely that’s a statement in and of itself. We accept so much when we’re young, and the so-called adults often let it ride. Bottoms might as well be a riff on the antiquated idea that boys will be boys, too, and serves up a reminder that everyone has issues. Still, it’s quite funny and very strange and not at all the sort of film we often see in mainstream theaters. If nothing else, if you ever wanted to see

+ GREECE SURE IS PRETTY - UNFUNNY; UNORIGINAL; UNINTERESTING; UNREDEEMABLE

nonbinary representation and one throwaway line about helping Ukrainian refugees and then, one can only assume, cashed her check for the free work trip to Greece and moved on.

This film is crammed with toothless humor, zero character development and one of the most exhausting long lost brother moments in the history of long lost brother moments. Only Martin and Vacratsis offer any levity or quality acting (looking at you, Joey Fatone from N’Sync, who is somehow in these movies) or reasons to laugh with sincerity. Shame on them for making this thing and shame on audiences for continuing to allow it. Boo! Filth! Muck! Slime! Rubbish! Boooooo!

BLUE BEETLE 5

+ MARIDUEÑA IS AWESOME; SILLY FUN

- CLUNKY WRITING; FEELS RUN-OFTHE-MILL

Despite hitting lower numbers in its opening week than the bigwigs at DC Studios would have liked, Blue Beetle toppled the long-running number-one revenue streak claimed by Greta Gerwig’s Barbie with roughly $25 million in earnings—even if it’s the very epitome of only OK. Sadly, however, Blue Beetle might fall prey to fewer production and marketing machinations due to its Chicano-heavy cast, despite its being full of winners like George Lopez (because somehow studios still think audiences are more interested in white-heavy flicks; remember the bad CGI from the first Black Panther?).

Here we join Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña, Cobra Kai), fresh out of college and returned to his Miami-like fictional home town of Palmera City. He’s not off the plane two seconds before learning his dad (Damián Alcázar) had a heart attack and lost his auto shop business, but nobody wanted to worry him with that stuff while he was at school. Also terrible, the family (including mom Rocio, Elpidia Carrillo; sister Milagro, Belissa Escobedo; grandma Nana, Adriana Barraza; and uncle, Lopez) is about to lose their home to the local mega-corp Kord, which is run by the cartoonishly evil Victoria Kord (Susan

Sarandon). Jaime somehow comes into contact with Vicky’s niece Jenny (Bruna Marquezine), who has stolen some kind of space beetle (voiced by Becky G) from the company. The thing turns out to be space armor, and so begins Jaime’s Spider-Man-meets-Iron Man journey, all while a movie from a corporation tells us how evil corporations can be.

Maridueña is effortlessly charismatic between his wide-eyed “family forever!” shtick and the pains of a young guy coming to terms with the way the world works while in possession of space armor. Escobedo steals the show as his sister, though, and most scenes are better with her—ditto the rest of the Reyes clan, who collectively find a believable familial dynamic crammed with broad and in-jokes about Mexican family. These are the best parts of Blue Beetle, especially Lopez’s paranoid Uncle Rudy, whose delusions turn out to be warranted.

Sarandon’s evil business lady character is terrible, however. She literally says stuff like, “As you know, our plan is to have the beetle so we can make better weapons!” What We Do in the Shadows’ Harvey Guillén lands on the receiving end of much of this janky exposition, and it’s only sad he doesn’t have a bigger role as he’s proven one of the more interesting actors working today. The rest is exactly what you think it is, though it might be important to see this one so we can prove to Hollywood that we’re ready for fewer Captain Americas and more varied representation. Besides, we want to see what more Maridueña can do with a less formulaic script, and maybe the sequel could go nuts. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 127 min.

This is a bad movie, and you should feel bad if you like it

PSYCHICS

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny Week of September 13th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries photographer Wynn Bullock had a simple, effective way of dealing with his problems and suffering. He said, “Whenever I have found myself stuck in the ways I relate to things, I return to nature. It is my principal teacher, and I try to open my whole being to what it has to say.” I highly recommend you experiment with his approach in the coming weeks. You are primed to develop a more intimate bond with the flora and fauna in your locale. Mysterious shifts now unfolding in your deep psyche are making it likely you can discover new sources of soulful nourishment in natural places—even those you’re familiar with. Now is the best time ever to hug trees, spy omens in the clouds, converse with ravens, dance in the mud, and make love in the grass.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Creativity expert Roger von Oech says businesspeople tend to be less successful as they mature because they become fixated on solving problems rather than recognizing opportunities. Of course, it’s possible to do both—untangle problems and be alert for opportunities—and I’d love you to do that in the coming weeks. Whether or not you’re a businessperson, don’t let your skill at decoding riddles distract you from tuning into the new possibilities that will come floating into view.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Fernando Pessoa wrote books and articles under 75 aliases. He was an essayist, literary critic, translator, publisher, philosopher, and one of the great poets of the Portuguese language. A consummate chameleon, he constantly contradicted himself and changed his mind. Whenever I read him, I’m highly entertained but sometimes unsure of what the hell he means. He once wrote, “I am no one. I don’t know how to feel, how to think, how to love. I am a character in an unwritten novel.” And yet Pessoa expressed himself with great verve and had a wide array of interests. I propose you look to him as an inspirational role model in the coming weeks, Gemini. Be as intriguingly paradoxical as you dare. Have fun being unfathomable. Celebrate your kaleidoscopic nature.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.” Cancerian author Henry David Thoreau said that. I don’t necessarily agree. Many of us might prefer love to truth. Plus, there’s the inconvenient fact that if we don’t have enough money to meet our basic needs, it’s hard to make truth a priority. The good news is that I don’t believe you will have to make a tough choice between love and truth anytime soon. You can have them both! There may also be more money available than usual. And if so, you won’t have to forgo love and truth to get it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Before she got married, Leo musician Tori Amos told the men she dated, “You have to accept that I like ice cream. I know it shows up on my hips, but if you can’t accept that, then leave. Go away. It is non-negotiable.” I endorse her approach for your use in the coming weeks. It’s always crucial to avoid apologizing for who you really are, but it’s especially critical in the coming weeks. And the good news is that you now have the power to become even more resolute in this commitment. You can dramatically bolster your capacity to love and celebrate your authentic self exactly as you are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Virgo writer Caskie Stinnett lived on Hamloaf, a small island off the coast of Maine. He exulted in the fact that it looked “the same as it did a thousand years ago.” Many of the stories he published in newspapers featured this cherished home ground. But he also wandered all over the world and wrote about those experiences. “I travel a lot,” he said. “I hate having my life disrupted by routine.” You Virgos will make me happy in the coming weeks if you cultivate a similar duality: deepening and refining your love for your home and locale, even as you refuse to let your life be disrupted by routine.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My hitchhiking adventures are finished. They were fun while I was young, but I don’t foresee myself ever again trying to snag a free ride from a stranger in a passing car. Here’s a key lesson I learned from hitchhiking: Position myself in a place that’s near a good spot for a car to stop. Make it easy for a potential benefactor to offer me a ride. Let’s apply this principle to your life, Libra. I advise you to eliminate any obstacles that could interfere with you getting what you want. Make it easy for potential benefactors to be generous and kind. Help them see precisely what it is you need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In your history of togetherness, how lucky and skillful have you been in synergizing love and friendship? Have the people you adored also been good buddies? Have you enjoyed excellent sex with people you like and respect? According to my analysis of the astrological omens, these will be crucial themes in the coming months. I hope you will rise to new heights and penetrate to new depths of affectionate lust, spicy companionship, and playful sensuality. The coming weeks will be a good time to get this extravaganza underway.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Is it ever morally permissible to be greedily needy? Are there ever times when we deserve total freedom to feel and express our voracious longings? I say yes. I believe we should all enjoy periodic phases of indulgence—chapters of our lives when we have the right, even the sacred duty, to tune into the full range of our quest for fulfillment. In my astrological estimation, Sagittarius, you are beginning such a time now. Please enjoy it to the max! Here’s a tip: For best results, never impose your primal urges on anyone; never manipulate allies into giving you what you yearn for. Instead, let your longings be beautiful, radiant, magnetic beacons that attract potential collaborators.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here’s a Malagasy proverb: “Our love is like the misty rain that falls softly but floods the river.” Do you want that kind of love, Capricorn? Or do you imagine that a more boisterous version would be more interesting—like a tempestuous downpour that turns the river into a torrential surge? Personally, I encourage you to opt for the misty rain model. In the long run, you will be glad for its gentle, manageable overflow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to the Bible’s book of Matthew, Jesus thought it was difficult for wealthy people to get into heaven. If they wanted to improve their chances, he said they should sell their possessions and give to the poor. So Jesus might not agree with my current oracle for you. I’m here to tell you that every now and then, cultivating spiritual riches dovetails well with pursuing material riches. And now is such a time for you, Aquarius. Can you generate money by seeking enlightenment or doing God’s work? Might your increased wealth enable you to better serve people in need? Should you plan a pilgrimage to a sacred sanctuary that will inspire you to raise your income? Consider all the above, and dream up other possibilities, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean author Art Kleiner teaches the art of writing to non-writers. He says this: 1. Tell your listeners the image you want them to see first. 2. Give them one paragraph that encapsulates your most important points. 3. Ask yourself, “What tune do you want your audience to be humming when they leave?” 4. Provide a paragraph that sums up all the audience needs to know but is not interesting enough to put at the beginning. I am offering you Kleiner’s ideas, Pisces, to feed your power to tell interesting stories. Now is an excellent time to take inventory of how you communicate and make any enhancements that will boost your impact and influence. Why not aspire to be as entertaining as possible?
