Navajo artist Remy has described his anti-Israel mural as an expression of solidarity between Native American and Palestinian Arab experiences. Remy’s views, however, ignore history and facts. Native Americans and Israeli Jews have much closer parallels based on shared histories of genocide, massacres based on blood libels, and the anguish of being driven from ancestral lands. The Trail of Tears, for example, is paralleled by the “ethnic cleansing” of Jews from 16 Arab countries. The Arabs expelled 900,000 Jews with nowhere to go but Israel—a country so small it would take 592 Israels to equal the territory of the Arab world. And yet the Arab world, which includes Palestinian Arabs, begrudges this small land to the very Jews it expelled while inciting Palestinian Arabs to murder Jews, desecrate holy sites and promote terror while unjustly blaming their dysfunction on Israel. Concrete research of verifiable facts might allow Remy to move towards a future of peace and mutual respect rather than hatred based upon dangerous ignorance.

In New Mexico taxing Social Security benefits undermines the purpose of the Social Security Act, which was designed to lift seniors out of poverty—not to fund state government. Social Security should always be exempt from state taxes... As always, other sources of income should be taxed for government programs. Yet you have New Mexico Voices for Children and Retake Our Democracy mistakenly supporting double taxation of Social Security for dubious reasons using skewed statistics. I have supported these organizations in the past. However, on this issue they are 100% dead wrong. The state Legislature and the governor should end this unfair tax now on New Mexicans and join the 37 states that don’t tax Social Security. I am angered by the inaction of the New Mexico Legislature.

ov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has until March 11 to sign or veto bills adopted during the 30-day legislative session that wrapped last week, but she’s already indicated support for many of the measures that landed on her desk. When it comes to some items, such as the capital spending plan, she’s got lineitem power to delete projects from this list, but most bills—including the big-ticket budget for the state—require wholesale approval or veto. SFR doesn’t want to leave readers hanging. Here’s a roundup of bills we followed during the session and how they fared:

passed House Bill 118, which creates a new section of the Business Corporation Act. Advocates say this will help both attract new businesses and retain others. “I think it will mean that we will see new businesses incorporated here in New Mexico to take advantage of the status,” sponsor state Rep. Zachary Cook, R-Ruidoso, told SFR upon the bill’s passage. “And I hope to see, of course, more investment in our state from outside businesses and investors as well as job growth and innovation.” As SFR previously reported, only 13 states had embraced the concept of benefit corporations when Cook first introduced the bill in 2013. Today, more than 35 of them, along with Washington, DC, have passed legislation allowing for the designation. The state’s Economic Development Department also heralded the passage of other laws geared at strengthening the state’s business environment. These include Senate Bill 136, which raises the 9% cap on State Investment Council investments from the Severance Tax Permanent Fund to 11%, which EDD

says will allow the council to deliver approximately $200 million of new investments into New Mexico companies and start-ups.
PROBATION AND PAROLE REFORM While the governor and her allies managed a last-minute effort to push through a socalled crime package that included modest penalty increases for certain gun-related crimes and more money for “community policing,” this year’s highest profile criminal justice reform proposal died quietly in the Senate Judiciary Committee. A measure that would have decreased the number of people on probation and parole who are returned to jail or prison for “technical violations”—a failed initial drug test, arriving late to or missing an appointment with a probation officer—had been a priority for Lujan Grisham and legislative
Democrats starting in the 2019 session. Both chambers passed the bill last year with bipartisan support. But the state’s prosecutors, including Attorney General Hector Balderas and First Judicial District Attorney Marco Serna, sent the governor a letter after the session urging her to veto it. She did, reluctantly, and asked lawmakers to work out their differences with the prosecutors during the interim. Legislative sponsors, led by Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas, D-Albuquerque, believed they’d done so when they introduced House Bill 263 for the 2020 session, largely on the strength of giving the prosecutors most of what they wanted by way of concessions. But by the time it reached the House Judiciary Committee, it was clear that fault lines remained. Prosecutors wanted a stricter definition of who should be tossed back behind bars for minor violations; defense lawyers and civil rights advocates thought the bill already could mark a step backward for shifting probation and parole’s focus from punishment to compassion. Still, the bill passed the committee, then the full House on a 47-17 vote. With less than a week to go in the session, the measure never got a hearing on the Senate side. But stay tuned: Technical violations cost taxpayers more than $40 million a year in incarceration costs, according to a 2018 Legislative Finance Committee analysis, so this issue is likely to stick around till it gets resolved.

but died after that. The Senate bills never came up, according to a Think New Mexico round-up.
MIXED BAG FOR RETIREMENT A variety of legislation was on deck this session aimed at helping retirees. One measure, House Bill 44, the New Mexico Work and Save Act, would create a voluntary program for workers who want automatic deductions into Individual Retirement Accounts. Think New Mexico Executive Director Fred Nathan, whose organization lobbied for the bill, previously told SFR the bill is “targeted to those private sector employees whose employers don’t provide that, and that’s about 60% of private sector employees in New Mexico.” Its passage, Nathan said, would help stem the retirement crisis Think New Mexico documented in a recent report. The bill passed the Legislature and awaits the governor’s signature. Think New Mexico is asking voters to encourage the governor to sign the bill. Senate Bill 72 also made it through. Sponsored by Sen. George Muñoz, D-Gallup, the bill addresses the New Mexico Public Employees Retirement Association’s $6.6 billion unfunded liability. Among other elements, the bill requires a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment—up from 2%—for retirees over the age of 75 as of July 1, 2020, and continues the current 2% cost-of-living adjustment for other retirees for three years. Thereafter, COLAs will be based on a new “profit-share” model aligned with investment performance. Senate Bill 201, however, which would reform the PERA Pension Oversight Board, never received a hearing. Among other things, the bill would have required board members to have some type of professional financial experience. Santa Fe firefighters who work in the field and lose retirement dollars because of the way their shifts are scheduled and reported to PERA also missed out on a fix. Senate Bill 62, the Public Employee Retirement Pay Changes Act, would have changed the legal definition of “salary” to include overtime hours for positions in which that time is part of regularly scheduled tours of duty. The bill passed the Senate and the House Labor, Veterans’ and Military Affairs Committee during the final days of the session, but did not earn a House floor vote before time ran out. As for the prospect of eliminating state tax on Social Security, no dice this time around. Six different bills were introduced to this end. House Bills 29 and 77 passed their first committee hearings
PAYING THE COURTS
Amidst a spending spree by the Legislature and executive office, dust is settling at the end of the session around a funding bump for the third branch of government. The final judiciary budget approved by the Legislature includes an increase of more than 4% for court operations in the fiscal year that begins July 1. That money would fund expansion such as five new judgeships (one in Santa Fe), more money for pretrial services and increases in security. Arthur Pepin, director of the Administrative Office of the Courts, told SFR judicial leaders are pleased with the session’s outcome and that lawmakers understood the court’s priorities. Yet, there’s an area where New Mexico still has catching up to do: judges’ salaries. Separate from the operating cash, lawmakers planned for a 7% pay increase for judges. That’s a compromise added by the Senate after the House first recommended a 6% hike, but it’s not quite the 8% raise recommended by an independent panel. Judicial salaries in the state continued to be among the lowest in the nation going into the session. For four years between 2010 and 2013, judges saw no salary increases, then another zero-increase period between 2016 and 2018.
tal of 13 House Democrats voted against the measure due to concerns about how community solar could impact ratepayers and utilities. As the bill was written, rules for community solar would depend on the Public Regulation Commission. However, the uncertainty about that regulatory body’s future acted as a dampener. The companion community solar bill in the Senate failed to make it to committee. A bill reinstating a solar tax credit that Lujan Grisham listed in her legislative priorities successfully passed the House and the Senate. Senate Bill 29 will allow people who put up solar panels to receive a tax credit of no more than $6,000 or 10% of the costs of the solar panels themselves as well as the costs of installation. The governor supports the bill.
NO MORE NDAS Nondisclosure agreements in workplace sexual harassment and assault cases would no longer be used to silence victims in New Mexico if the governor signs House Bill 21. NDAs in settlement agreements have long been a way for predators to continue their behavior while silencing victims. Rep. Dayan Hochman-Vigil, D-Albuquerque, partnered with other lawyers and the University of New Mexico’s law school to craft the bill to make sure employees can’t force someone to sign an NDA as a condition of employment or in a settlement. A nondisclosure clause could only be included if the plaintiff agrees to it. The law would only apply to agreements reached on or after May 20, 2020.
CURBING YOUTH TOBACCO USE Following recent federal legislation, New Mexico raised its minimum age to buy tobacco to 21 with Senate Bill 131, which created the Tobacco Products Act. The measure created a way for the government to license tobacco retailers to better enforce the new minimum buying age and punish those who don’t follow the rules. Consequences include losing licensure to sell tobacco, as well as fines and fees. Backers said the main goal of the bill is an effort to curb youth vaping and tobacco use, which are on the rise. The most recent Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey showed up to one-third of students in middle school use vapes or e-cigs, compared to 25% in prior years. The new rules and regulations will go into effect on July 1, 2021.
SOLAR OUTCOMES House Bill 9, the Community Solar Act, started off as one of the most highly anticipated solar bills of the session, but it failed to gain momentum and died on the House floor 36-28. The bill would have made solar power accessible to people who rent their homes or can’t afford to buy their own systems by allowing individuals to subscribe to remote community solar installations. Last year, legislators voted along party lines against a similar bill. After all the other strides the state made toward a renewable energy transition in the 2019 legislative session, advocates for community solar expected a favorable environment for pushing it forward this year. Yet, a to-

SHOVEL READY Senate Bill 118 creates a Local Economic Development Support Fund within the Economic Development Department targeting rural communities. These can include traditional LEDA (Local Economic Development Act) projects that create economic base jobs; retail projects in communities of less than 15,000 people; and rural site infrastructure to create “shovel ready sites” for competitive business development, according to an EDD news release.
PRC DRAMA The Public Regulation Commission has been a controversial body for its entire existence, and this year was no different. In fact, the commission has been so notoriously problematic that lawmakers agreed last year to let voters decide if it should be an appointed versus an elected body. A constitutional amendment to that end will be on November’s ballot. “The current system is not working,” ballot measure co-sponsor Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, told SFR prior to the session. Noting the technical expertise needed to understand regulatory cases, Wirth said such a move might help “to get the politics out of the PRC.” But House Bill 11, which would have reorganized the PRC and transferred most of its duties to other agencies, stalled out in the Senate Corporations & Transportation Committee. The bill, co-sponsored by Reps. Nathan Small, D-Las Cruces and Linda Trujillo, D-Santa Fe, was supported by the governor, who has clashed legally with the PRC over implementation of the Energy Transition Act.

Long Road Ahead Data among challenges facing New Mexico’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Task Force
B Y K AT H E R I N E L E W I N k a t h e r i n e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
O
ne year after New Mexico lawmakers signed the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) Task Force into existence, the fledgling group has released an optimistic timeline to start tackling a major, longstanding crisis in the state. Members of the task force, composed of government and tribal appointees, laid out their goals for 2020 on Friday to about 60 people: Put together and release a comprehensive report about MMIW in New Mexico and execute a massive data gathering plan.
Over the last year, the task force has met four times and devised an outline for what will be in the report as well as a plan to start collecting case local information. It’s a huge, difficult undertaking of undeniable importance—researchers say more Native American women and girls are abducted or killed in New Mexico than any other state. However, legislators appropriated just $100,000 for the task force for two years in 2019’s enabling legislation, with another $75,000 on the way pending final approval from the 2020 legislative session. A little less than $200,000 for a longterm problem such as MMIW is “a good start,” says Indian Affairs Department Senior Policy Analyst Stephanie Salazar. The department is leading the task force. “I hope that as the work continues, the funding will continue to hopefully increase over time,” Salazar tells SFR. A chunk of that money will go to a possible partnership with the University of New Mexico’s Native American Budget and Policy Institute, which has already collected some data on MMIW. The institute would assist the task force in the massive and complicated effort of compiling case data from across the state. Legislators this year gave the task force a November deadline for presenting a report of findings to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s administration. The group plans to have enough information to begin analysis by July. The kidnapping and murder of Indigenous women have affected tribes since colonizers came to North America. It only came into mainstream conciousness because of high profile cases including the brutal murder of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, a 22-year old pregnant member of the Spirit Lake
Tribe killed in 2017 in North Dakota. In New Mexico, funding for an indepth look into the MMIW issue has never been provided until now. Information already compiled by the UNM institute illustrates the scope of the problem here. According to the Urban Indian Health Institute, which tried to track missing and murdered indigenous women as far back as 1900, New Mexico has the highest number of such cases in the country. Of the 10 cities with the highest number of MMIW cases, two are in New Mexico: 37 in Albuquerque and 25 in Gallup. Another grim figure that affects the entire region: 46% of Native American women have been victims of sexual assault or violence. Better understanding the problem in New Mexico and collecting data about MMIW will require requests under state and federal public records laws to the New Mexico Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Indian Affairs, tribal law enforcement and city and county police departments. The Missing Persons Information Clearinghouse under the Department of Public Safety is a central database of every missing person in New Mexico. At Friday’s meeting, Becky Johnson, a Navajo representative on the task force, questioned clearinghouse manager Regina Chacon about what statistics her division has for MMIW in New Mexico. Chacon, who is deputy chief of the state’s Law Enforcement Records Bureau, said the department wasn’t aware of the MMIW issue until last year. Further, the department does not “really know how” to identify someone as Native American, she said. The clearinghouse form contains a box to indicate someone’s race, but not ethnicity or tribal affiliation.
NEWS
“I would ask the task force to help us identify criteria,” Chacon said at Friday’s meeting. “How would we know when, as a clearinghouse, to reach out and say ‘What’s the tribal affiliation? Is this a Native or non-Native person?’” UNM’s research found that both race and ethnicity data are not consistently collected by law enforcement, and misidentification of Indigenous people is common. Additionally, New Mexico law enforcement agencies often do not fully participate in the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting program or the National Incident Based Reporting System—gold standards in law enforcement records and data collection. There are no changes on the horizon for the way law enforcement and the state collect race and ethnicity data to make it easier to track problem areas. The task force wants its report to help create legislation that will build better tracking systems and stronger laws to address MMIW, Salazar says. She hopes that will happen in 2020. “I hope that in a year we would have already had a full list of things that the state needs to start working on—and maybe even tribal governments and other government agencies—and we can have that listed out and, actually, in a year, start some of those solutions,” Salazar tells SFR. But while collecting and analyzing data is a major aspect of a partial solution to the crisis, it does not solve built-in challenges to the system. Tribal governments only have criminal jurisdiction over Indigenous perpetrators. Non-Native people who commit crimes on reservations or against Native people can only be prosecuted by federal or state law enforcement. That leaves a loophole that is often exploited by oil and gas industry workers housed in rural areas, aka “man camps,” whose presence researchers and activists say correspond to increased rates of violence against women. Documentary filmmakers explored that gap in the recently released Somebody’s Daughter, which screened in Santa Fe. It chronicles factors such as drug and human trafficking across the country and the lack of federal legislation to specifically deal with MMIW. “This is presented as a Native problem, or this is an Indigenous problem, and it’s compartmentalized in that way,” says Rain, director of Somebody’s Daughter and a Romani as well as a member of the Strange Owl Family from Lame Deer and Birney, Montana. “No, this is a human rights issue.”

2020 Photo Contest H
undreds of images always pour in for SFR’s annual Photo Contest. And it’s our pleasure to sort through them—and let’s face it, argue a little bit—to choose the winners. But this is the first time in recent memory that the results of the contest grace the pages of the weekly print edition rather than a special issue. What turns an entry into a winner? It’s in the eye of the beholder. It’s the way the image captures light during a singular moment in time. It’s the eyes, the hands, the outstreched arms, the color and even the wind. Our favorites this year cross backward across the years from a timeless shot of Acoma Pueblo under a cloudy sky to a carnival during the time when everyone called the mall Villa Linda, and, finally, the grand prize winner is a view from the top of the hill that overlooks Santa Fe—this one looking back hundreds of years and also grounded firmly in the present. A heartfelt thanks to everyone who submitted a photo and helped further our journalsim mission with the entry fee. Special appreciation to The Camera Shop of Santa Fe for providing gift certificates for the first, second and third place winners.

How does the data you study—such as satellite imagery and internet data—help predict the spread of an infectious disease?
Viral
Los Alamos National Lab scientists discuss coronavirus modeling, data and prevention
BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl
O
ver the weekend, Italy locked down 10 cities as five known cases of the new respiratory coronavirus rapidly became more than 200. South Korea and Iran also experienced spikes. Overall, as of this writing, more than 79,000 people worldwide— primarily in China—have contracted the disease; there have been at least 2,600 deaths. As explained by the Centers for Disease Control, coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that occur in many species, including camels, cattle, cats and bats. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then spread between people such as with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and now “coronavirus disease 2019,” aka COVID-19. The number of US cases has been small (35) and New Mexico has not had any (the New Mexico Department of Health says seasonal flu is a more significant concern). As governments grapple with responses to the new coronavirus, scientists continue modeling its outbreak and determining its cause. Two such scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory spoke with me recently about their work. Sara Del Valle, the deputy group leader for LANL’s Information Systems and Modeling Group, develops mathematical and computational models for
I was recently in the Atlanta airport and felt like an extra in Contagion. It seemed like everyone else was wearing a face mask. Are they effective? Sara Del Valle: I’ve done several studies on the effectiveness of face masks, and one of the reasons I recommend wearing face masks is we tend to touch our faces so often. And the way we get infected with airborne particles is through our hands because we touch infected surfaces and then we put our hands in our mouth or our nose. The other reason I think they are effective is they create a kind of bubble around you. People, especially in the West, try to avoid people that wear face masks. During a big outbreak, if you keep people from contacting others, you can prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
What’s a super-spreading event? Jeanne Fair: it’s a really interesting phenomena, something I’ve studied in animals, is that if you have 100 animals…you basically find this pattern where 20 percent of them will be … COURTESY OF LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY

infectious diseases. She has developed epidemiological models for smallpox, anthrax, HIV, Ebola, influenza, among others, and has also worked on investigating the role of internet data streams on monitoring emergent behavior during outbreaks and forecasting infectious diseases. LANL Deputy Group Leader for Biosecurity & Public Health Jeanne Fair focuses on epidemiology and animal disease ecology, and was the principle investigator for a 24-year research project on the impacts of environmental stress on avian populations and infectious diseases. This interview has been edited for style, clarity and concision.
SDV: Most of the studies where we apply those types of data are mosquitoborne diseases [such as malaria and dengue] and [we] use satellite imagery to measure vegetation, and also measure water content …we also use climate because temperature is very important for mosquito survival… we’re using social media to monitor behavior and also track how much people are looking for everyday information. For flu, we look for hygiene, face masks, travel cancellations.
transmitting 80 percent of the cases, so a super spreader, or super shedder, is one of those 20 percent that has that for whatever reason. That’s a big scientific question right now is to understand what makes these super spreaders; that’s the biological. SDV: Then there’s a behavioral component. There are some people who have very different behaviors than the rest of the population. With HIV, there were people who had a lot of partners and were able to infect a lot of people. With SARS, you have someone who’s a frequent traveler, so you can become a super spreader in comparison to the rest of the population. What are the most misunderstood aspects of infectious diseases like coronavirus you wish you could correct for the public? SDV: There’s a lot of speculation and assumptions about what it is, and until we have more information, we develop models that require data from clinics and what’s happening on the ground. We’re not able to get all the data in real time; people just need to be careful of the models. They are supposed to be representative of the real world, but they’re not the true reality of what’s going on. JF: I would just add to that understanding, from my perspective, why these emerge in the first place: What is it about these changing environments and wild and agricultural animals and human interactions and how can we mitigate that in the future? I will say if we look back to 1993, when we had the hantavirus first emerge in New Mexico, we’ve come so far. It is pretty phenomenal to look around with this current epidemic and see the thousands of scientists coming together in all the different ways. That’s a really positive thing that we really can respond more quickly than we would have 30 or 40 years ago.
It’s my understanding LANL was the most accurate in forecasting the flu season for 2018/2019. How does that work play into your work with the coronavirus? SDV: It’s a very different model we have for the flu…we can’t just use exactly the same model. We have been trying to see if we can develop a new model, completely from scratch, that follows the same dynamics but, because we’ve had the flu forever, we have historical data. This is a newly emerging disease [so] it has to be modeled very differently because we don’t have historical information.
TECH
What else should people know?
Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists Jeanne Fair (above) and Sara Del Valle (below) study epidemiology and computer modeling, respectively, as part of their work on infectious diseases such as the coronavirus.
SDV: People need to get vaccinated [for the flu]. I know the vaccine isn’t as good a match for this year, but we’re still recommending people getting vaccinated: It can reduce your probability of being hospitalized. Another thing we recommend is people staying home sick from work or school. In the US we tend to be workaholics, but if people can stay home and avoid exposing others, we can significantly reduce disease spread. JF: Just really wash your hands throughout the day.

PRINTS AND POPPERS We’ve loved Canyon Road’s Hecho a Mano Gallery since the get-go—an affordable bastion to all things handmade in the heart of Santa Fe’s unaffordable arts scene seems an act of subversion, of punk rock. And the hits have kept coming, this week in the form of Santa Fe artist Kat Kinnick. Kinnick’s colorful prints, ceramics and more illustrate a deep love for the high, arid desert and its environs and wildlife, and by celebrating the flora and fauna surrounding our fair city, she hopes to foster a deeper love and appreciation for them. “I made these [works] out of a love for the wildlife of New Mexico and their exquisite beauty. I feel at home here in New Mexico,” Kinnick tells SFR. “A big part of that comes from my love for plants, landscape and wildlife.” (Alex De Vore)

COURTESY FELIX CORDOVA
MUSIC SUN/1 FACILITATION Felix Corova (aka Your Boy Re-Flex) isn’t under any impression that his party facilitating is the same as DJing. Still, it hasn’t stopped the local music-machine from taking home top honors in SFR’s Best of Santa Fe DJ category in the past— and it won’t stop him from turning Totemoff’s at Ski Santa Fe into a party and a half this week. Not only does Cordova kick out the jams on the reg anyway, this one’s got a special component—it’s meant, in part, to be a remembrance for Santa Fean Juana Cervantes, a beloved fixture of the nightlife community (who sadly passed away in 2018). Guests are encouraged to come in onesies (unicorn ones, even) for the second year of the event, but it’s not mandatory. In fact, the only thing you have to do is set out to enjoy yourself. Re-Flex will take care of the rest. (ADV) Unicorn Day Dos: 11 am-3 pm Sunday, March 1. Free. Ski Santa Fe, 1477 Hwy. 475, 982-4429.

EVENT TUE/3 MORE LIKE A MILLION WORDS As cameras have become more ubiquitous, so, too, have amateur shooters. Nobody is claiming that these folks operate on the same level as pro photographers, but there’s still something lovely about leveling the playing field (and having the means to capture images pretty much whenever). Of course, as we’re now inundated with countless images every single day, it’s harder than ever to understand what works or doesn’t. Not to worry, up-and-coming photogs—the Photographic Society of Santa Fe has your back. At recurring events, like the one we’re talking about now, members show up to look at up to five digital photos for review. Think of it like a free service and like an easy way to sharpen your compositional eye and skillz. Yeah…skillz with a “z.” (ADV) Photographic Society of Santa Fe Meeting: 6:30 pm Tuesday, March 3. Free. St. John’s United Methodist Church, 1200 Old Pecos Trail, 982-5397.

Live and Let Party Local woman fights cancer, has fun, loves hard At the end of 2018, says CC, “I felt like I had just had my best year. …We were flying high on life and love and laughing and making memories. And then, boom.” That “boom,” as happens all too often, was cancer. The Army vet and former social worker (who goes by CC because, she says, no one can pronounce her full name) discovered that she has retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma—stage 3 at the time of diagnosis, now at stage 4. Doctors told CC and her partner, beloved local musician D’Santi Nava, that nothing could be done, but they launched into traditional treatments and trips to the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston to do their best to fight the disease. Understandably, the illness has taken a toll on CC and Nava’s finances, but that hasn’t dulled their artistic and fun-loving spirits—so it’s fitting that, for a fundraiser, they’ve organized a day of celebration, music, performance and fun at Evangelo’s, a bar they have loved as a haven of authenticity since the couple met nine years ago. At a mini Pride celebration at the cash-only bar, enjoy drag performances by Marie Antoinette Du Barry and
Tommy G, eclectic rock music from Underground Cadence and Sister Mary Mayhem, raffle prizes and more, all made possible by the fine folks of the Candyman Strings & Things and Nick Klonis, owner of Evangelo’s. “My soul is really strong,” CC says. “I want to just have fun and forget for a few hours that this is in my body, you know? … I feel that no matter what happens with this illness in my body, I’ve had an amazing, eclectic, powerful, memorable life. … I just want to love very deeply, laugh very heartily, and live as full as I can.” If you’re inspired, go be your authentic self for an afternoon at Evangelo’s, and drop some cash in the kitty while you’re at it. “I know the money’s important,” she says, “I know we have to pay bills and all that, but I just want to have fun with the community that took me in and accepted me as who I am, as CC.” (Charlotte Jusinski) MINI PRIDE FUNDRAISER FOR CC 3-7 pm Saturday, Feb. 29. $10; raffle tickets $5-$20.

veryone in Book World has been talking about Jeanine Cummins’ American Dirt. Last month, the novel, about a Mexican mother and her son’s journey to the US border, was poised to achieve the kind of blockbuster bestsellerdom that only Oprah can confer. Beloved author Sandra Cisneros called it “the great novel of las Americas.” Salma Hayek shouted it out on her Instagram. The American Library Association partnered with select border-city libraries to promote the book.
But then a torrential rain pelted down on American Dirt’s parade—from critics who labeled the novel “trauma porn” for its clumsy cultural blunders, apparent rip-offs of Latinx writers, and Google Translate-quality Spanish dialogue. The overwhelmingly white publishing industry’s blind spots were exposed. Cummins’ book launch party even featured floral centerpieces wrapped in barbed wire, amping up the fetishistic vibes. Hayek admitted she hadn’t read the novel, while Cisneros doubled down on her support for it. Oprah promised to plumb the depths of the controversy in a TV special that was filmed on Feb. 13 in Tucson, to air in March. I’ve read enough of American Dirt to know that there are way better recent books about the border. Here are a few that deserve more attention.
embracing the idea of “mean” as a feminist act of defiance. Gurba’s voice soars and sears in this hopscotching personal history, illuminating the experience of being birthed by both sides of the border.
Mean by Myriam Gurba (Coffee House Press, 2017) Long Beach-based writer Gurba was one of the first critics to call out American Dirt. In an online essay called “Pendeja, You Ain’t Steinbeck: My Bronca with Fake-Ass Social Justice Literature,” Gurba tells the story of how Ms. magazine asked her to write a review of the novel, then rejected it for its overwhelming negativity. (She called American Dirt “a literary licuado that tastes like its title.”) Mean is Gurba’s coming-of-age memoir as the queer daughter of a Mexican mother and American father. She grew up in Southern California speaking Spanish, English and Spanglish. Her experience embodies all the contradictions of this cultural commingling: she is called “wetback” on the playground; her best friend is a white girl who looks like Kurt Cobain and ends up accidentally smoking crack. As Gurba confronts racism, sexual assault, and misogyny throughout her young life, her response is to toughen up,
Unaccompanied by Javier Zamora (Copper Canyon Press, 2017) Zamora, a poet born in El Salvador in 1990, revisits his solo childhood journey through Mexico to the United States in this far-ranging collection. These poems are political: “Disappeared” addresses those responsible for the turmoil in Zamora’s young life: “Bush Sr, Ronald Reagan, Batallón Ramón Belloso, Alliance for Progress, USAID.” They are autobiographical: In “To President-Elect,” he writes, “I am not the only nine-year-old/ who has slipped my backpack under the ranchers’ fences. I’m still/in that van that picked us up from ‘Devil’s Highway.’” And they are moving: “I wasn’t born here,” Zamora writes. “I’ve always known this country wanted me dead.”

laureate. It’s a journey into all sorts of corners around the Chicanx Southwest, including some very close to home here in Northern New Mexico.
The Death and Life of Aida Hernandez by Aaron Bobrow-Strain (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2019) This nonfiction narrative by a professor of politics at Whitman College in Washington state reads like a novel—albeit one with a healthy educational dose of immigration policy. It’s the story of Aida Hernandez, born in Agua Prieta, Mexico, in 1987. Eight years later, Aida, along with her mother and her siblings, went to live undocumented in the neighboring town of Douglas, Arizona. There, Aida got pregnant at 16 and married an abusive man. She chased an American dream of being a teacher in New York City, but was instead deported without her son. On her first night as a bartender back across the border, she accepted a ride home from a stranger; after she refused to kiss him, he repeatedly stabbed her and left her to die in the street. The Death and Life of Aida Hernandez interweaves Aida’s story with several others. There is her father, a famous revolutionary from Chihuahua; Rosie Mendoza, a social worker who transcends her own abusive past to help women like Aida; and Ema Ponce, a gay Ecuadorean making her way to the US. Don’t read this book looking for easy answers to the immigration crisis; there are none to be found here, except perhaps the idea that sexual violence is inextricable from border politics. Bobrow-Strain’s “About this Book” details his meticulous research, borne of 45 hours of formal interviews with Aida and a friendship between author and subject.
Tears of the Trufflepig by Fernando A. Flores (FSG, 2019) An absurdist satirical novel set on the Texas-Mexico border, Flores’ book is about an imagined trade in exotic animals that are brought back from extinction and smuggled into the United States for rich consumers.
Border Land, Border Water by CJ Alvarez (University of Texas Press, 2019) Alvarez, a New Mexico native and current fellow at the School for Advanced Research, dives into the fascinating history of construction projects that have shaped the border as we know it today.
Retablos: Stories From a Life Lived Along the Border by Octavio Solis (City Lights Books, 2018)
Sagrado: A Photopoetics Across the Chicano Homeland (University of New Mexico Press, 2013) The work of three New Mexicans anchor this large-format multimedia book: gorgeous photography from Robert Kaiser, essays by Spencer R. Herrera and the graceful poetry of Levi Romero, New Mexico’s newly minted first state poet
The El Paso native paints vibrant vignettes about moments of transformation as he grew up along the border. As Solis contemplates the statue of Don Juan de Oñate at the El Paso airport, remembering Oñate’s order to sever all the right feet of Pueblo men, he writes, “I think of a retablo of a bloody pile of right feet with the Holy Virgin suspended above them. I think of how I’ve been lamed by my own past and then I think of how often I’ve walked away and yet always manage to walk back.”

THE CALENDAR
BY JACKS McNAMARA
MISTER ROGERS AND WHY IT’S MORE IMPORTANT TO BE KIND THAN RIGHT Though I planned to be one of those parents who didn’t show my toddler any screens, parenting has turned out to be more relentless than I expected, and my daughter gets a fairly regular dose of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. It’s been kind of fascinating to watch the terrible third-generation copies of ancient episodes on YouTube, because I watched a lot of Mister Rogers when I was little and I can’t help wondering how it shaped me. For those of you who haven’t seen the show in a few decades, Fred Rogers is unflaggingly kind, gentle and curious. He makes direct eye contact with his “television friends” and patiently explains the simplest things, like how orange juice is made or how batteries work. A friend of mine, who grew up with a very angry father, names Mister Rogers as the single most significant adult figure in his childhood. He meant a lot to me, too. Though I grew up in a deeply critical and often warring family, my mom would always comment, mystified, that I “had a big heart and always took the underdog’s side.” Did Mister Rogers help shape that? She would regularly spout racist Republican garbage—and I would push back, from a very young age. Is that because I saw the many episodes where Mr. Rogers is kind to people we are generally taught to scorn, including the somewhat legendary 1968 episode wherein he washes a black man’s feet? Or did I just have common sense and human decency? Hard to know. Back in the dark ages, before social media, I used to moderate the forums on a website called The Icarus Project (theicarusproject.net). Because we positioned ourselves as a political project, navigating the intersection of mental health and social justice—and because it was the internet—thorny conversations about topics like race would flare up into raging firestorms, and part of my job was to contain or extinguish those fires. I was an idealistic 24 year old, so at first I was naïve enough to think I could reason and argue sense into trolls. Eventually I realized we needed community guidelines and firm boundaries. I started tossing around the phrase “it is more important to be kind than to be right,” and tried to apply it in my own life. This was a big leap for me. I grew up in a family of ardent fighters and screamers, and being “right” was very, very important. So important it nearly

destroyed us. By my early 20s, I was dabbling in Buddhism and 12-step recovery, trying to figure out how to do things differently; how do you move through the world from a softer, more centered place? I failed often. Under too much stress, I got prickly and razor-tongued. Sometimes I still do. A short temper is a hard thing to unlearn, especially when some fierce part of you is convinced you need it to survive. In my late 20s, I started studying somatics, a modality of healing and coaching that works through the body to heal trauma and give us more choices about how we live our lives. Everything we “studied” in class we practiced in pairs and small groups, and folks could get pretty triggered. Sometimes we joked we should call the class “traumatics and drama” instead of somatics and trauma. When I got triggered, I either grew distant or I grew fierce. It helped and it hurt. At one point, my teacher posited that anger exists to protect our dignity, which was a minor revelation to me. I had a lot of anger at my anger. It had caused me so much trouble, but her words rang immediately true. As a survivor of a family life that had tried to silence, smother, and invisibilize me, anger was a core part of protecting my dignity and the integrity of my soul. It helped me survive all the gaslighting and vitriol of my home. It helped me get out of the South and move away to parts of the world where I could be my freaky queer self and find my people. It helped me believe I was worth saving. Anger is powerful fuel, but it is not enough to sustain us. At some point it became clear that if I wanted any stability in my life (stable relationships, stable housing, stable work), I was going to have to learn how to soften and get along with people. Now that I have a kid, I get schooled on that lesson day after day. Mister Rogers may have taught me a lot about kindness, but he did not rewire my nervous system. Being consistently patient and gentle with a rebellious toddler is no joke. I am not always pulling it off. They say toddlers are like teenagers, and I am understanding a lot more about why my mom and I fought so much when I was a teen. This shit is hard. Everything unhealed in me wants to leap out of my throat when my daughter is pushing my buttons. Mister Rogers ends most of his episodes with the song “I like you just the way you are.” It’s a bit saccharine, a bit off key, and a bit beautiful. I wonder if I am strong enough to like my daughter, and myself, just the ways we are. Tantrums and all. Necessary Magic is a semi-regular column wherein writer and artist Jacks McNamara explores queer issues, liberatory politics, magical creatures and other relevant topics.

Albuquerque artist Leonard Fresquez doesn’t know the meaning of working in one discipline. A painter, photographer, sculptor and zine producer, Fresquez works in so many mediums, it can be hard to know where to start. The good news? Most, if not all of it, is awe-inspiring. We caught up with Fresquez ahead of his upcoming appearance in the group show Diamond Grade at Southside DIY space Etiquette (6 pm Friday, Feb. 28. Free. 2889 Trades West Road), and you can catch up with the work at leonardfresquez.net before the show. (Alex De Vore) Working in so many mediums, how do you identify what comes next? Is it an organic direction, or the result of a plan? Most of the time, there’s some kind of plan. The last five years have flowed into each to each other with different bodies of work. Etiquette asked me to be in a show last year, and I had other obligations, but [artist] Justin Guthrie asked me to do this show, and we wanted to bring in friends from Los Angeles. There’s a circle of friends we have, and we all exist in this kind of gray area, and I was just excited to have a show with them out here. I’m showing sculpture. I came up with the idea because I kind of have an interest in brick and mortar. Bricks go back to the cradle of civilization and shelter—at one point, they were built by prisoners. There’s so much history, and I’m incorporating brick into different works. Do you even have a preferred medium? I like doing installation work. I like just building stuff, creating small architecture. That’s pretty much what all these brick things are. I like mid-century modern design, I’ve always had an interest in it; I’ve never taken a formal class in architecture or anything. These are more like small designs. I’ve never even thought about designing a house, but these are fun for me. I wouldn’t say I’m trying to convey a message with this body of work, it’s more aesthetic, it’s more stuff I’ve wanted to create. I just wanted to see them made. Is showing in DIY spaces like Etiquette a priority for you? As in, do you like working outside of the traditional exhibition and gallery systems? I wouldn’t say that, but I’m pretty picky about where I like to show. The last show I had was at 516 ARTS, and I really respect what they stand for and who they work with. They have a lot of integrity. And I like the list of artists I’ve seen Etiquette work with. I felt like [the show] needed to be in a DIY space. I’m not sure how many galleries would go for this kind of work, but [Etiquette co-founder] Drew [Lenihan] has been great. He’s visited with all of us to give us his feedback, which I think is unique. It makes me feel honored, I feel important. It’s nice to have someone who’s so concerned about the work.

Denver’s Tennis comes up for air with Swimmer

Tennis is heading in new directions after nonstop touring waylaid Alaina Moore (left).

“
he whole time we were going through this experience, I was thinking ‘the only silver lining to this is I’ll have good subject matter when I try to write another record,’” says Alaina Moore, founding member and front woman of Denver-based pop act
Tennis. Moore is speaking about a midtour incident in January 2018 during which she collapsed in a Whole Foods, affected by road fatigue and a viral infection. This would have sent any band into immediate crisis, but Moore says the crisis had to wait—there was a job to do. “So much of what I was considering at the time was just the pragmatic,” she
explains. “I was thinking we can’t rebook this tour and about how many people we were letting down. I started making very morbid jokes like ‘we’re gonna make it to the show tomorrow night. Even if you have to mic my coffin, I’ll be there.’” Save the tears for when the tour’s over, right? Those tears would come, and Moore remarks how, post-tour, there were times when she was left questioning if an occurrence of this magnitude was a sign. “I called Patrick Carney from The Black Keys, who has been a really good friend, and I asked him, ‘Are we insane for being on tour? Is the universe trying to tell us to stop?’ He said, ‘What else are you going to do? Go sit in your living room and cry? This is why music is important. This is why we have it. Do you wanna get up on stage and play those fucking songs or do you want to go home and cry?’” With a fresh set of ideas, Moore and bandmate/husband Patrick Riley returned to music and started writing their new album, Swimmer. The result is an album that expands on Tennis’ heart-on-sleeve love affair with ’70s and ’80s pop and blue-eyed soul, but with enough twists to the formula to make a genuinely interesting piece of work. The sonic changes weren’t intentional, but rather the organic result of a change in circumstance. “We were finally able to work out of our own studio,” Moore tells SFR. The changes of location combined with a dedicated space to call their own, she adds, allowed the duo to judge their work “more harshly and rewrite; we’ve never had that luxury.” Tennis has benefited from this newfound meticulousness. I find myself drawn to Swimmer, and I keep coming back to the album in a way that I simply don’t with the band’s previous efforts.
MUSIC
There’s something infectious about its positive retro vibe, but Moore and Riley never reach too far into the same bag of hazy production tricks and lo-fi worship that made so many other 2010s indie bands famous. Fans of Tennis’ prior material will still find plenty to enjoy, but songs sound riskier, which is refreshing—as it usually is when a band takes chances and plays with their sound. The song “Runner,” for example, effortlessly alternates between a slow, funky verse and an unexpected double-time chorus that you can almost picture playing overtop a montage of Jennifer Beals flash dancing her way to fame. When Swimmer takes a turn toward the emotional, however, the music becomes decidedly more subdued while giving Moore’s lyrics space to take center stage: “Such a good man, had a good job/I took up swimming for the patriarch,” she sings on the record’s eponymous track overtop a spacey guitar line that would make Beach House proud. While a pretty lyric on its own, the real beauty comes from Moore’s weaving a literal occurrence into metaphor throughout an entire song with universal resonance. “That song mostly describes the day we scattered my father-in-law’s ashes at sea,” Moore recalls. “It was a very jarring experience. It was a beautiful summer day, we were off the coast of California, there were people surfing and swimming, and we were two miles out, pouring the remains of our loved one into the ocean. I thought ‘I never learned how to swim.’ and that moment stuck with me.”

an one of the most-performed plays in history presented by a cast of familiar faces in a small theater community find ways to surprise audiences, while still staying true to its classical origins? It was a bold move for &Sons Theatre, a new company on the scene, to present Macbeth as its first show in Santa Fe. You’d perhaps expect a theater company of young performers wishing to break molds and access raw, unhinged emotion to choose a new play, contemporary and edgy. But in the capable hands of director Ali Tallman and her cast, the Shakespearean tragedy from 1606 earns new life not only through a radical staging, but via inevitable comparisons to our current political sphere. Half of you, readers, are likely salivating. The other half are considering turning the page. Why another Shakespeare play? You’ve seen Macbeth staged 10 times; no need for 11. I played devil’s advocate with myself and tried to think of reasons a skeptic should see this production, and thought immediately of the gender-bending titular couple, Mairi Chanel as Macbeth and Alex Reid as Lady Macbeth, how they
absolutely blew it out of the water. Reid’s portrayal in particular had me mesmerized; he perfectly depicted the wife driven mad with ambition, deeply in love with her husband but even more enamored of the power he could potentially obtain, and never hesitating to use her feminine wiles to get her way. Chanel’s Macbeth, meanwhile, starts out strong as the character must, but slowly crumbles bit by bit as guilt, paranoia and fear rapidly destroy any chance he had at greatness. But if that isn’t enough, the smug, otherworldly Wyrd Sisters (Isabel Madley, Stephen Rommel and Zoe Burke) are fantastically creepy. Those still on the fence should know that Sarah Runyan’s dual role as Banquo and Lady Macduff alone are worth the price of admission. Or really, the entire dinner party scene, complete with contemporary choreography and a sparse set, drives all the attention to a maddened Macbeth, a two-faced Lady and the silent ghost of Banquo, all three indispensable and intriguing. And, well, the set in general is fascinating—a simple plywood platform (ominously bloodstained from previous performances) sends all attention toward the actors’ faces and bodies as they
If for no other reason (though there are lots of other reasons), Alex Reid’s portrayal of Lady Macbeth and Mairi Chanel’s of Macbeth are worth shelling out for &Sons Theatre’s inaugural production.
change from character to character, for indeed, only the Macbeths and the Sisters play one role the whole time. If those aren’t enough highlights, there is always the inevitable and unnerving comparison to be drawn between the 400-year-old plot and whatever the hell it is that’s going on in Washington right now. An unhinged and ill-advised ruler, starved for power and unstable at home, runs through his closest friends and allies and picks them off one by one out of fear, out of jealousy, out of suspicion—all culminating in a tragic and bloody end. Any stumbles made by this cast felt forgivable. Notably, it was clear everyone in the cast was intimately familiar with the script and had done immense character work; while this is a great thing that lends itself to thoughtful portrayals, it also led to a lot of speedy talking, always risky in Shakespeare for folks who don’t have any given plot memorized when
they walk in the door (namely, me). I was able to follow easily enough thanks to deft characterization and capable performances, but many conversations were swept under the diction rug. Particularly worth noting as well is the age of this entire production: I’d eat my hat if anyone onstage was over the age of 40. The whole show oozed the kind of youthful exuberance that is reinvigorating Santa Fe’s theater community at large right now. Guided by the institutional knowledge of the veterans of the scene, the kids are truly all right on our town’s stages, and &Sons could emerge as a frontrunner for most innovative group.

anta Fe would not seem to be a dessert town. If you’ve finished your dinner in the heart of the city and are pondering a stroll through the Plaza to a serendipitous dessert spot, you might well be strolling until sunrise. It’s not that we don’t like sweets around here. Bakeries like Dulce (110 Don Diego Ave., Ste. A, 989-9966) and the Chocolate Maven (821 San Mateo Road, 9841980) whip up delicious treats. Kakawa Chocolate House (1050 Paseo de Peralta, 982-0388) and Clafoutis (333 W Cordova Road, 988-1809), too. Great options—if you’ve thought far enough ahead to pick something up for home or hotel because they all close at 4, 5 or 6 in the afternoon. Downtown, your best option for dessert at night is probably to feed in place. Most restaurants within a motorcycle’s roar of the Plaza have a respectable dessert menu, if not an outstanding one. Don’t let the idea of not having “saved room” dissuade you from ordering. Split it, for heaven’s sake. Or make room. There’s always a digestif or shot of espresso to help you get ambulatory. If you are prone to wander, La Lecheria (101 W Marcy St., 205-1595) ice cream shop is open until 8 pm and the house-made gelato at Ecco (128 E Marcy St., 986-9778) just down the street keeps its doors open until 9:30, at least during the summer. Drinks might actually be a better option, as downtown Santa Fe’s cocktail scene features a few quality spots. Winston Greene’s Tonic (103 E Water St., 982-1189) may have transformed into a true late-night destination, as his twoyear-old bar has stuck to its Golden Age roots, providing live jazz and impeccably mixed cocktails ($10+). With a passion for classic cocktails and a palate for new mixes and underused ingredients, Greene’s art deco haunt is worth a visit for a featured drink or an extremely

well-made old favorite. A few feet away is the Coyote Café (132 W Water St., 983-1615), which offers sophisticated cocktails at a bar it isn’t afraid to hide, or more casual combinations at its now year-round Rooftop Cantina. On Palace Avenue right outside the friendly confines of Paseo de Peralta, La Posada’s Staab House (330 E Palace Ave., 986-0000) has upped its cocktail game. As SFR has pointed out before, it also offers some of the best fireside tippling in town when the weather is right. If it’s dessert you’re after, though, your quest can—and perhaps should— lead you to some neighborhood restaurants that will open your eyes to non-downtown options. As mentioned, the Chocolate Maven bakery is more than capable of cooking up an array of dessert treats that you’ll most likely have to eat at
a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
home (or in the parking lot of the grocery store). Its San Mateo-meets-Second Street location also serves afternoon tea ($8) with cream currant scones, clotted cream, raspberry jam and delightfully cool lemon curd. Tea is included and other options for food are available. At either end of St. Michael’s Drive, you’re likely to find a dessert that suits you. Many of the offerings at longtime world cuisine staple Annapurna’s World Vegetarian Café (1620 St. Michael’s Drive, 988-9688) are vegan; all are vegetarian. The pecan pie ($5.25), almost always dependent on butter and eggs, is dairy-free and delicious. A host of other sweets can be had while sipping a cup of chai and pursuing inner peace. Or inner pecans. Loyal Hound (730 St. Michael’s Drive, 471-0440), which shares culi-
nary DNA with Arable in Eldorado, makes all its desserts in house, too. The lime meringue pie ($7) is a clever take on what you’re served most places: a quivering stack of sweet, tart and sky-high foamy egg white that you’re not sure if you should smush into the pie filling or fling against the wall in a gesture of defiance or, perhaps, joie de vivre. Befitting Santa Fe, this is a low-rise affair, with a smooth, tangy filling aboard a graham cracker crust. The meringue is toasted and while it might look like an afterthought, it’s the key to the dish. A scant bit on the tip of your fork adds a sugary crunch to the pie. It looks great, is fun to eat and tastes amazing. Just like Ray Liotta. Further south, the Plaza Cafe Southside (3466 Zafarano Drive, 424-0755) will sate your sweet tooth and is actually open later on weekends (10 pm) than its namesake downtown counterpart (9 pm). Pies and desserts are house made and usually spot on. Year after year, some of SFR’s favorite dishes and desserts are simple affairs, done exceedingly well. Such is the case with Southside staple Joe’s Dining (2801 Rodeo Road, 471-3800). In summer, peaches rule the menu, and if you play your cards right, you can get away with dessert on both sides of dinner. The secret is cold soup. Joe’s peach and almond soup ($6/$8) is a straightforward puree of local peaches with little interference from other ingredients, sprinkled with almond slivers. And dessert, oh dessert. Again, it’s all made on the spot and the peach cobbler ($7) is summer in a bowl. Warm, with a shortbread-like topping, it has two full peaches in the portion delivered to the table. There’s cinnamon and—is that a hint of clove that arrives on the inhale? Paired with ice cream, it’s enough to make you realize that Santa Fe might just be a dessert town, if you’re willing to venture out, or prepared to dine in.

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Someplace near the windswept beaches of Brittany, late in the 18th century, an artist named Marianne (Noémie Merlant ) arrives by boat. She’s to paint the portrait of a young, engaged woman named Héloïse (Adèle Haenel); she’s not the first, and she might not be the last— others, she’s told, failed at the challenge set forth by Héloïse’s mother: to paint the girl without her knowledge. Hers is an unwanted marriage. But from the bizarre setup comes a fiery if painful tryst between the women. Unthinkable in its time, in the hands of writer/director Céline Sciamma (Water Lillies), Portrait becomes a methodical and believable look at sexual politics, family strife, loveless marriage, lust, connection and artwork. Perhaps even better, it is free from any male fantasy dynamics and instead becomes a relatable and powerful piece of LGBTQIA2+ filmmaking. Part of the film’s triumph comes in its excellent casting. Merlant and Haenel phase so effortlessly between timid young women thrust together under strange circumstances and almost ravenous lovers more in need of each other’s presence and

touch than simply wanting them. Haenel in particular carves out a strong performance someplace between her overbearing mother, a recently deceased sister and the convent life in her character’s past. Her chemistry with Merlant hangs thick over even the simplest meetings, but Haenel never loses the thread of pain so important to her character’s development, even up to the moments before the credits roll. Merlant herself shines as well, all blustery bravado and tortured painterly nonsense as she succumbs to her feelings, a warmer and caring person than we’d have expected once she relents to her passions. And over everything, cinematographer Claire Mathon’s bright yet muted color and lighting schemes belie the deeper urges afoot, and with most scenes resembling paintings themselves— be it a simple meeting in an estate kitchen or a hauntingly gorgeous scene of singing—it would be
impossible to pinpoint one moment that feels out of place. Even a seemingly insignificant chamber maid (Luàna Bajrami) hides more than she lets on, and discovering her secret feels more like uncovering a sisterhood than it does a morality play— these women look out for each other, even to their own detriment, even at a time when there’s no telling what repercussions might have come to bear. In the end, Portrait is a triumph, even if it eschews sappiness for a more authentic look at love at the wrong time and place. It’s as beautiful as it gets, a cinephile’s dream, which, yes, can mean it feels slow. But nothing is out of place in Sciamma’s world and vision. This one will stick with you.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

+ DORKY AND FUN - CASTING FOR MARSDEN ROLE WAS LIKE “ANY OK-LOOKING MAN”
Understand this right out of the gate: Sonic the Hedgehog is a movie for kids. Yeah, yeah, you grew up with Sonic (and Tails and Knuckles and Amy and Big the Cat), and you want to feel the nostalgia and blah blah blah—just stop it. It’s Sega. For kids. And yet, as movies based on video games and/or little more than nostalgia go, it’s not as soullessly awful as you’d assume. Yes, it’s true the animation company behind the film (Canada’s Moving Picture Company Vancouver) shut down after fierce fan backlash over the original Sonic’s uncanny-valley-as-fuck design delayed the opening and caused a laborintensive overhaul of the film’s CGI. But if you can disconnect yourself from how toxic fans ruin everything long enough to catch this—as well as how weird it feels to give a deep backstory to an ancient video game about a fast-talkin’ and faster-running hedgehog—it’s, like, pretty OK. The story’s weird—a powerful hedgehog (his name is Sonic) has cool powers, so of course evil forces want the powers. Luckily, this particular powerful hedgehog was raised by an owl with a sack of powerful rings that work like interdimensional portals. When the baddies come,

“Alright,” Sonic says. “So maybe the animation studio that was stuck with redesigning me after the freaky original trailer closed. The important thing is that I run really fast.”

the owl sends Sonic away (with its powers) to small-town Earth, where he falls victim to heavy isolation, turns weird and builds a life, sort of. Somehow, Sonic gets noticed by the human people he’s been hiding from for years without any trouble whatsoever. The government isn’t down, so they send super-scientist Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carey) to investigate. He likes robots, is evil. To escape, Sonic enlists the help of a local sheriff (James Marsden), and together they hit the road, navigating explosions and friendship and enjoying jokes about how Sonic can run really fast. They also diss Mario a little, but that one’s just for the parents and the olds who go see the flick. Again, it’s for kids, and if this newspaper were aimed only at children, this thing would be a straight 10 out of 10 (the kids in our theater could not have laughed harder): The special effects are a blast, there are butt jokes aplenty, Sonic is cute and sassy and voiced by Parks and Rec alum Ben Schwartz with just the right combo of sweet and salty. Carey in particular becomes enjoyably strange, especially in solo scenes that showcase his special brand of insanity. Marsden’s character could’ve been played by anyone, and the same goes for his wife (Southside With You’s Tika Sumpter), a black actress who literally is told by her cop husband at one point that he’s going to “abuse his power as an officer of the law,” which, to us, seems absurdly tone-deaf and shitty.

+ ROBBIE! ROSIE PEREZ! ASS-KICKING! - MESSINA; THE KID; SOME REAL STUPID JOKES
One recalls a time when we longed for comic book movies that took the medium seriously, though one also recalls that we’ve since been smothered by such films. It just…won’t…stop. Lucky, then, that the character Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, is based on a cartoon character created by the inimitable Paul Dini for the ’90s Batman animated series, and lucky, then, that Margot Robbie feels some sort of affinity for her—she’s fucking fun. Yes, 2016’s Suicide Squad was a disaster of a movie, but there was one shining light hidden within the garbage—Robbie. Her take on the Joker’s girlfriend was so fun and charming that we longed for more. Of course, nobody wanted to make the standalone film (some bullshit in Hollywood about how nobody wants to see women-led movies), so Robbie stepped up to produce herself (along with a woman-heavy
creative team including director Cathy Yan and writer Christina Hodson), and it’s a good thing she did—Birds of Prey is some of the most fun you can have at the movies. Now, that doesn’t mean it’s good, per se. Or, actually, that it’s bad. But we don’t really need to assign those descriptors here, because it’s really more about the journey or something, right? Right. Point is, this is about the most high-action, popcorn-chomping, bone-breaking, crossbow-shooting good time one can have in theaters right now, so just leave the good/bad dichotomy out of this, K? Robbie reprises the role of Harley Quinn in the weeks after splitting with the Crown Prince of Crime. Turns out she’d been a bit of a jerk during their relationship, though, and now everyone who was too scared of Joker to do anything about it has come to collect their pound of flesh. It’s mainly rank and file baddies, low-level henchmen and goons and such. But for Roman Sionis (Ewan McGregor), there are much higher stakes and much more violent means to explore. Quinn must form a posse of badass women (played by Rosie Perez, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bell) to handle the situation, and so she does—and they’re badass, indeed. Birds of Prey winds up a far more violent film than other DC properties (Superman and Batman don’t kill people), and certainly a less gritty take on Gotham City. It’s dark, yes, but never loses the humorous threads that make
it so enjoyable. Robbie in particular shines as a wronged woman reclaiming her power, and the support that women show other women even under the worst circumstances is a breath of fresh air in a medium where they’re often portrayed as catty, jealous and dimensionless vessels for male reactionary bullshit. It makes McGregor all the more nefarious and worthy of hate, it makes Rosie Perez look like the champion she is. Oh, there are missteps, like Chris Messina’s wildly boring Victor Zsasz and a wooden young pickpocket played by Ella Jay Basco. But it’s Robbie’s show, and we never forget it—from the kick-ass fight under fire sprinklers to her legitimately hilarious mannerisms and off-thewall weirdness. Perhaps the best course of action is to look at the things they’re not overtly saying—that teamwork works, that women aren’t defined by their partners, that Ewan McGregor is a pretty fun villain. Think of it more like a summer thing and try to enjoy yourself. What else is there, even? (ADV)

+ MINDLESSLY ENJOYABLE - SEXUAL ASSAULT; SOOOOO DUDE-ISH
“It’s a Guy Ritchie movie,” I said over the phone, “so it’ll probably be a convoluted if mildly intriguing story set against a laundry list of gangster types and played out over a super-hip
soundtrack of throwback bangers.” “Word,” my friend said. “That sounds fine.” And fine it was, because The Gentlemen is exactly what you’d expect from the venerable British director as he returns to the organized crime genre—a steady stream of UK-based businesspeople who work in the business of drugs and shooting people and stuff. It’s…fine. Yeah, it’s fine. We follow the quiet yet violent Mickey (Matthew McConaughey who seemingly treats this role with the same lifeless energy he affords his Lincoln commercials), a Londonbased, American-born crime boss—presumably because nobody wanted him to even take a crack at a British accent—who, after building a massive weed empire over a few decades, is ready to leave the game and spend more time with his wife (Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery). He’s even lined up a buyer in the form of American bazillionaire Matthew (Jeremy Strong of HBO’s Succession, who seems to be trying out some kind of Truman Capote vibe but mostly fails and is awful), but when a ruthless Chinese up-and-comer who goes by Dry Eyes (Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding) pops in to try and buy the farm(s) at a lower price at the same time a tabloid boss decides to ruin Mickey for a perceived social snub, everything starts falling apart and people gots to get got. Cue soulful bassline. So, setting aside the needless premise that much of the story is related in flashbacks and didn’t-really-happen vignettes as told by a smarmy PI (Hugh Grant) to Mickey’s number one guy (Charlie Hunnam), The Gentlemen does find time to interject some mini-mystery and humor into its otherwise glum tale of drugs and crime and stuff. Colin Farrell practically saves the movie as a boxing coach mentor to a gaggle of social media-obsessed roustabouts who run afoul of Mickey, and Hunnam’s buttoned-down murderer vibe definitely works. It’s just that McConaughey really phones it in, and we can’t say much more for Strong. Actually, at least McConaughey has a few brief moments of badass or charming; Strong just flounders among the more experienced and/or talented cast members. Golding, for example, makes for a fairly enjoyable villain—right up until the utterly needless sexual assault scene (can we just get these out of movies, already?) bookended with a bullet or two, and Dockery, who is criminally underutilized here, cuts out a notably interesting performance. Still, much of The Gentlemen feels like a pubescent male power fantasy wherein badasses gleefully kill and make up weird business rules and the women around them grab their junk before disappearing until their next big plot

1917

+ IMMERSIVE AND INTENSE; SHOT BEAUTIFULLY
- VERY LITTLE STORY
World War I went down at such a strange cusp in human history—the politics, the evolving technology, the rapidly changing world— that it wound up trapped between modernist experimental ideas and the tail end of aging battlefield tactics. The weaponry, for example, was the most lethal and advanced ever conceived at the time, and those who used it were so new to the equipment that the violence borne down from all sides was some new kind of horrific. Director Sam Mendes (Skyfall) knows this intimately, because his newest, the harrowing 1917, turns out to be based on a true story related by his grandfather Alfred, who was really there in the trenches of France when the German army enacted a strategic retreat to sow discord, false confidence and confusion among the British troops. We’re thrown into the fray immediately as Lance Corporals Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Schofield (George MacKay) are ordered by a high-ranking general to carry a ceasefire letter across enemy lines to a hubristic colonel hellbent on pushing the perceived advantage and dug in with 1,600 men some miles away. If they fail, Chapman and Schofield are told, it’ll be a massacre; they’ll need to go on foot, and the stakes are even higher as Blake’s older brother is meant to lead a garrison into battle at the new front line. Much has been made of Mendes’ seemingly cut-free film, and one really must see it to believe it. 1917 is a technical marvel both in terms of immersion and pacing, but this is no meathead, glory of war nonsense crammed with action scenes and bulging muscles. The violence plays out more on a macro scale, and the conditions facing our heroes are actually few and rather muted; the tone is one of quiet desperation more than it is of fearless heroes meting out righteous bullets at a faceless enemy. In fact, 1917 does not glorify or try to
justify war, it simply tells a story contained therein. It’s not all grand. Sometimes a massive scene crammed with extras wears thin, seemingly drawn out to justify the large scope. Nobody listens to anyone, either, and a scene with a mud-bound truck just feels pointless. Of course, it’s possible Mendes was trying to honor his grandfather by including smaller events, and they even sort of humanize some of the nameless soldiers. But the true surprise of the film are the moments of beauty that sneak up on us: cherry blossoms sailing through the wind, a bucket of milk discovered undisturbed, new life growing from the rubble of a destroyed country town—hope, above all else.

A
tremendous loss for both his family and his community, Dr. David Christy Brothers II, 72, passed away on February 13, 2020. Chris, known affectionately to his friends and family as “Beezie”, is survived by his wife, Libby Mulhall, his two daughters, Laurel Algoe and Annie Brothers, their spouses Nate and Leslie, his grandchildren Weston and Eloise, and his younger brothers, Monty and Buddy Brothers. He is preceded in death by his first love and mother to his children, Kitty McKenna and by his parents, Dave and Ruth Brothers. Chris was raised in Lexington, VA with his two brothers who were his lifelong friends. After graduating from Virginia Military Institute in 1969, he continued on to medical school at the University of Virginia, where he met Kitty. Following their graduation, they were married in the campus chapel, and set out to see the world. Chris and Kitty joined the Public Health Service and arrived in Tierra Amarilla, NM from Virginia in 1976 with a plan to stay for a few years and get to know the high desert. As many do, they fell in love with the sacred landscape and the culture and New Mexico became ‘home’. After 26 years of marriage and a heartbreaking battle with cancer, Kitty died in his arms, and the world was never the same. Their love for one another, which encircled their daughters, was the greatest privilege Laurel and Annie could have ever been given. Chris worked in the ER at St. Vincent for 35 years and his greatest claims to fame were the thousands and thousands of lives he touched and hands he held and his assertion that he could “intubate a rock”. Chris and Libby met working alongside one another in the ER and came together over their shared love of medicine, travel, history and birdwatching. Chris’s favorite times were spent in the Outer Banks of North Carolina with his family, including his sisters-in-law and his many nieces and nephews in an annual event that came to be known as ‘Bro-palooza.’ To the chagrin of his family, he excelled at almost everything he tried. He had amazing hand-eye coordination, as evidenced by his athleticism, his delicate suture work, and his uncanny scientific renderings. Chris spoke French, German, Greek, Spanish, and Latin, and could answer any question put to him, regardless of the topic. He believed in ‘catch, kiss and release’ and was a relentless anthro-nerd. He prided himself on listening before talking but was dry-witted and brilliant when he did. His humility and sense of self exceeded his talents, skills and intelligence. A champion of social justice in everything he did and a person who was kind and gentle above and beyond anything else, Chris was the example that so many of his friends and family measured themselves against. He lived his life with integrity, he taught his daughters to challenge the systems that create inequality and he always made space for anyone lucky enough to be in his presence. We all adored him. He was the best dad, husband, brother, grandfather, doctor, teacher and friend. The amount of how much someone was loved could be evidenced by the vast number of nicknames assigned to them. To our Buddy-o, Big ol’ pretty boy, Dewie, Beebeez, Christy, Fish-eye Jackson, Uncle Bubba and Beezie, our world will surely stop spinning without you. Memorial details for Chris will be shared in the near future.

Week of February 26th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may sometimes reach a point where you worry that conditions are not exactly right to pursue your dreams or fulfill your holy quest. Does that describe your current situation? If so, I invite you to draw inspiration from Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes (1547–1616), who’s regarded as one of history’s foremost novelists. Here’s how one observer described Cervantes during the time he was working on his masterpiece, the novel titled Don Quixote: “shabby, obscure, disreputable, pursued by debts, with only a noisy tenement room to work in.” Cervantes dealt with imperfect conditions just fine.
vations are all in synchronistic alignment with your current needs. 1. Sometimes a thing that’s hard is hard because you’re doing it wrong. 2. You have to break through the structure of your own stonework habit just to make yourself listen. 3. Something is always happening, even on the quietest days and deep into the night, if you stand a while and look. 4. The world is full of abandoned meanings. In the commonplace, I find unexpected themes and intensities. 5. What we are reluctant to touch often seems the very fabric of our salvation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I remember a time when a cabbage could sell itself just by being a cabTAURUS (April 20-May 20): “True success is figur- bage,” wrote Scorpio author Jean Giraudoux (1882– 1944). “Nowadays it’s no good being a cabbage— ing out your life and career so you never have to be unless you have an agent and pay him a commission.” around jerks,” says Taurus filmmaker, actor, and He was making the point that for us humans, it’s not author John Waters. I trust that you have been enough to simply become good at a skill and express intensely cultivating that kind of success in the last that skill; we need to hire a publicist or marketing wizfew weeks, Taurus—and that you will climax this wondrous accomplishment with a flourish during the ard or distributor to make sure the world knows about our offerings. Generally, I agree with Giradoux’s next few weeks. You’re on the verge of achieving a new level of mastery in the art of immersing yourself assessment. But I think that right now it applies to you only minimally. The coming weeks will be one of those in environments that bring out the best in you. rare times when your interestingness will shine so GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I would love for you to brightly, it will naturally attract its deserved attention. become more powerful, Gemini—not necessarily in Your motto, from industrialist Henry J. Kaiser: “When the sense of influencing the lives of others, but your work speaks for itself, don’t interrupt.” rather in the sense of managing your own affairs SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When he was 29 with relaxed confidence and crisp competence. years old, Sagittarian composer Ludwig Beethoven pubWhat comes to mind when I urge you to expand lished his String Quartet, Op. 18, No. 4. Most scholars your self-command and embolden your ambition? Is there an adventure you could initiate that would believe that the piece was an assemblage of older material he had created as a young man. A similar approach bring out more of the swashbuckler in you? might work well for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. CANCER (June 21-July 22): For my Cancerian readI invite you to consider the possibility of repurposing ers in the Southern Hemisphere, this oracle will be tricks and ideas that weren’t quite ripe when you first in righteous alignment with the natural flow of the used them. Recycling yourself makes good sense. seasons. That’s because February is the hottest, CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are there parts of your laziest, most spacious time of year in that part of life that seem to undermine other parts of your life? Do the world—a logical moment to take a lavish break you wish there was greater harmony between your from the daily rhythm and escape on a vacation or heart and your head, between your giving and your pilgrimage designed to provide relaxation and taking, between your past and your future? Wouldn’t it renewal. Which is exactly what I’m advising for all be wonderful if you could infuse your cautiousness of the earth’s Cancerians, including those in the with the wildness of your secret self? I bring these Northern Hemisphere. So for those of you above questions to your attention, Capricorn, because I susthe equator, I urge you to consider thinking like pect you’re primed to address them with a surge of those below the equator. If you can’t get away, innovative energy. Here’s my prediction: Healing will make a blanket fort in your home and pretend. Or read a book that takes you on an imaginary journey. come as you juxtapose apparent opposites and unite Or hang out at an exotic sanctuary in your hometown. elements that have previously been unconnected. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo author Walter Scott (1771–1832) was a pioneer in the genre of the historical novel. His stories were set in various eras of the Scottish past. In those pre-telephone and pre-Internet days, research was a demanding task. Scott traveled widely to gather tales from keepers of the oral tradition. In accordance with current astrological omens, Leo, I recommend that you draw inspiration from Scott’s old-fashioned approach. Seek out direct contact with the past. Put yourself in the physical presence of storytellers and elders. Get first-hand knowledge about historical events that will inspire your thoughts about the future of your life story.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When he was 19, the young poet Robert Graves joined the British army to fight in World War I. Two years later, the Times of London newspaper reported that he had been killed at the Battle of the Somme in France. But it wasn’t true. Graves was very much alive, and continued to be for another 69 years. During that time, he wrote 55 books of poetry, 18 novels, and 55 other books. I’m going to be bold and predict that this story can serve as an apt metaphor for your destiny in the coming weeks and months. Some dream or situation or influence that you believed to be gone will in fact have a very long second life filled with interesting developments.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Over a period of 40 years, the artist Rembrandt (1606–1663) gazed into a mirror as he created more than ninety self-portraits—about ten percent of his total work. Why? Art scholars don’t have a definitive answer. Some think he did self-portraits because they sold well. Others say that because he worked so slowly, he himself was the only person he could get to model for long periods. Still others believe this was his way of cultivating self-knowledge, equivalent to an author writing an autobiography. In the coming weeks, I highly recommend that you engage in your personal equivalent of extended mirror-gazing. It’s a favorable time to understand yourself better.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you’re like most of us, you harbor desires for experiences that might be gratifying in some ways but draining in others. If you’re like most of us, you may on occasion get attached to situations that are mildly interesting, but divert you from situations that could be amazingly interesting and enriching. The good news, Pisces, is that you are now in a phase when you have maximum power to wean yourself from these wasteful tendencies. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to identify your two or three most important and exciting longings—and take a sacred oath to devote yourself to them above all other wishes and hopes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): From author Don DeLillo’s many literary works, I’ve gathered five quotes to serve as your guideposts in the coming weeks. These obser-
