THE FORK, MARCH 28: “WHY WE DON’T CARE THAT SANTA FE IS GETTING A CHIPOTLE”
SPEND YOUR BELIEFS I read with interest your recent rant on the impending arrival of a Chipotle restaurant in Santa Fe. I don’t know what you’re afraid of. If the places you mention (I’ve eaten at most of them and they’re quite good) can’t compete, well that tells you something. Having eaten around, I can tell you that they’re not the same as Chipotle. It is unique. Maybe you prefer the others, that’s fine but they’re all different. You mention its proximity to La Choza. Do you really think people who go to La Choza will instead go to Chipotle? I don’t think so. Santa Fe is a big mixmaster of food. McDonalds and Realburger. Burger King and Lotaburger. Taco Bell and El Parasol. PC’s and Applebee’s. I say that instead of the food police telling people where they should eat, just let them vote with their pocketbooks.
ROBERT WILLIAMS SANTA FE
LOCAL IS BETTER One of the things I like most about Santa Fe is the smaller mom ‘n’ pop/chef-owner places to eat in this town with really good and reasonably priced food that is frequently made from farmers market and locally sourced ingredients. Why, oh why, would I ever go to a chain Mexican fast food place given all the other fantastic options we have? Since moving to Santa Fe I have not been to a Taco Bell or burger chain because the quality and choices of local options beats them all hands down. Chipotle has every right to set up shop here, but hopefully they won’t find much of a market with Santa Feans. We have too many local options that are so much better and residents will continue to strongly support our amazing local spots.
JK, WE LOVE TEXANS All I can say here is that I will never eat there—but with its pending location, it should just about cull all the Texans driving into and out of town leaving more seats for us locals at the all the good restaurants in town!
SUSAN McKEE SANTA FE
NEWS, MARCH 27: “MUCHO GUSTO”
WE BIKE IN TOWN, TOO Glad to see this initiative to link outer trails with the city of Santa Fe. We need a similar vision for trails within the city, making it easier to use bike transportation for commuting and running errands in town. When roads are redone (as Paseo de Peralta was recently) let’s use those windows of opportunity to design-in bike lanes that are safe. Riding on Paseo de Peralta near the Roundhouse, I look enviously at the wide, infrequently used sidewalks, as I cast a nervous eye at the cars zooming by. Why not build dual-use sidewalks and bike lanes, as is common in Europe and Japan? Pedestrians and bikes share an interest in being protected from cars and trucks. Some investment of creative design and a real commitment to bikes as urban transportation is needed before we can claim to be on the path to a sustainable Santa Fe.

NEWS, MARCH 20: “WILD HORSES OF PLACITAS”
PROTECT ‘EM The plight of the wild horses, not only in Placitas, but around the West, always comes back to the livestock industry, which views any wild animal out there as the problem. ... This environmentally destructive lobby still calls coyotes “varmints,” a term rooted in illiteracy [and] ignorance. Recently, efforts to ban trapping in New Mexico were rabidly opposed by these modern “cowboys” along with their hunting/trapping buddies in groups like the New Mexico Wildlife Federation. Unfortunately, too many animal/wildlife lobby groups have been collaborating, genuflecting to these entities, thinking that somehow it might help their cause. Instead, it has weakened it, causing more animal suffering. The Western Watersheds Project acknowledges that “the main cause of degradation of public lands in the arid West is livestock use, not wild horses.” The new Department of Outdoor Recreation will encourage activities like camping, hiking, etc., not killing helpless animals. While we’re at it, get rid of the animal-killing Game Commission, and transfer the Game Department to the Outdoor Recreation Department. Wild lives need peace and justice!
ROSEMARY LOWE SANTA FE
CLARIFICATION IS GOOD Your article inadvertently tells New Mexicans that no groundbreaking New Mexico state’s wild horse protection law was passed in 2007; that the groundbreaking court case against the New Mexico Livestock Board in Placitas was not won in the New Mexico Appellate Court, and agreed on by the New Mexico Supreme Court. (This was a very important hard fought win against animal cruelty of wild horses.) It also upheld the legislation passed and more; that the recent groundbreaking court ruling in the 12 District Court of New Mexico which established that wild horses are native wildlife and that it is the right and the obligation for any property owner to fence them out (if they do not want them on their property.) This case allowed the Alto horses to be released right back into the neighborhood they were stolen from. The Placitas horses are New Mexico’s native wild horses. This determination gives them many legal rights. Your article states that the Placitas wild
horses are BLM horses, potentially paving the way for their removal. New Mexicans deserve to be informed of this treasure, not have history re-written so no one notices when the government makes their next attempt at wipe out.

KEEP YOUR PROMISE As 30-plus year residents of Santa Fe, the shortage of available and affordable housing has reached a crisis. ... I am also aware that these factors contribute to another complication, and that is the work force of Santa Fe. The wage-earners who provide critical service industry staffing are being run off and shut out of living where they work, where they grew up and where they had hoped to have their families. Mayor Webber, you campaigned on the premise that this was a key issue to you. Take action, call town hall meetings, take surveys, get input from the residents—let’s work together to find a solution to a situation that will not go away without action!

ral and aggressive. “Communication with horses is all about body language,” Gaffney tells SFR. “[The residents’] bodies were speaking a language of brokenness and trauma more than anything. They approached the horses with postures of fear and defiance, and the horses were responding with some of the most amazingly disturbing habits that I’d ever seen horses have.” To bring harmony back to the ranch, she first had to coach residents to hold themselves and move with a sense of calm confidence. This is still the first thing she teaches newcomers. “First, I teach them how to walk.” Gaffney captures the physicality at the heart of this process in a collection of powerful narrative essays that will be published in her new book, Half Broke, due out in January. “When you’ve been there long enough to see people leave, it’s like watching a metamorphosis happen,” says Gaffney. “Horses are so honest; they teach you how to be honest too. How to present yourself in an honest way. For people who’ve struggled with a lifetime of addiction and don’t know how to interact with others except in angry or frustrated ways, this lesson is invaluable.” Ayla Jarvis was 25 when she entered the Delancey Street program, was addicted to heroin, and had spent years in and out of prison. She grew up in Santa Fe in a family ravaged by intergenerational drug use. Jarvis spent five years at the ranch, first as a resident and then as a manager. Now seven years sober, she works as a professional farrier and wedding planner in Albuquerque.
Compared to the expectations of residents at Delancey Street, she says, prison was easy. “In prison you don’t have to be responsible or accountable for anything. Once you’ve given up on yourself, it’s so easy to get comfortable with that kind of complacency.” At the ranch she had to work hard and face her traumas. Looking back, she says if she hadn’t entered the program, she would have probably ended up dead or in and out of prison for life. “When I first arrived at the ranch I hated myself and everything and everyCOURTESY AYLA JARVIS
ur goal for today is to experience empathy,” a social worker says to protagonist Roman Coleman in one scene of The Mustang. The new film tells the tale of a broken beast of a man and an unbroken mustang who learn to tame each other in a wild horse training rehabilitation program at a rural Nevada prison. Bolstered by beautiful cinematography and an epic soundtrack, the film is a slow-burning meditation on rage, vulnerability and volatile masculinity. Coleman, played by Matthias Schoenaerts, enters the program after years in solitary confinement, his morose silence like a layer of thin ice over a dangerous and impulsive current of anger. As we watch Coleman learn how to empathize first with the horse, then with his pregnant and estranged teenage daughter, and finally with his own violent past, the audience comes to empathize with him regardless of the terrible things he’s done. A horse’s sensitivity to emotion and body language can be redemptive in a relationship with a human whose distrust of self and others is the result of trauma, something residents at the Delancey Street ranch north of Santa Fe experience firsthand. For people in New Mexico who are charged with drug-related crimes, the Delancey Street alternative sentencing program can be life-changing. “Empathy—that’s a really big thing,” says Ginger Gaffney, who has volunteered as a horse trainer and mentor at the Delancey Street ranch for over six years. “Drug addiction and trauma make you pretty self-consumed. If there’s one thing we hope the residents get out of the program, that’s it.” Gaffney first arrived to find the ranch in a state of chaos, the residents tyrannized by of a band of horses gone rogue. Left in the hands of a group of troubled individuals, the animals had become fe-

one around me,” she says. “I’d spent so many years as an addict that nothing in the world mattered to me. I didn’t know how to care anymore. I didn’t even care if I died tomorrow.” Jarvis tells SFR the horses taught her how to care, trust, be honest with herself and others, and embody self-confidence. Eventually she was able to translate the lessons she learned with the horses into her interactions with people—and this, she says, was what kept her sober after she left the program. “Since I’ve left Delancey Street, I’ve been very successful in everything I’ve done, and I can’t help but attribute most of that to the horses and the fact that I learned how to communicate effectively with my body. Now I know how to read people, I know how to call bullshit and I know how to be upfront with my own intentions,” she says. As a felon, Jarvis still faces many obstacles—she can’t take out a loan or rent an apartment on her own. She focused on learning professional skills that would facilitate self-employment, because few people will hire someone with a criminal record like hers. “The way the justice system is set up now is not as effective as it could be if there were more programs like Delancey Street,” she says, “where people have to be responsible for themselves, their words and their actions, and where emotional intelligence is nurtured and rewarded.” The Mustang is showing through April 11 at the Center for Contemporary Arts Cinematheque, 1050 Old Pecos Trail, 982-1338.

The Big Shout Workers allege chaos reigns at the office where Santa Fe’s cash is managed BY W I L L CO ST E L LO w i l l @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
S
tephen Morales, an analyst with the city of Santa Fe’s Finance Department, was at his desk when he saw yet another email from his boss, Bradley Fleutsch, asking which parts of the comprehensive annual financial report Morales was responsible for. Morales answered and continued with his day. A few weeks later, Fleutsch, the city’s cash and investment manager, stormed into Morales’ cubicle, shouting and cursing at him for not sending a reply. Morales, taken aback and alarmed that Fleutsch, who he describes as an imposing man, was blocking him into his small workspace, checked his email and confirmed that he had sent a list of his responsibilities. It was September 2018, and it wasn’t the first time Fleutsch had been aggressive toward subordinates, according to interviews with five current and former Finance Department employees and documents obtained by SFR. And it wouldn’t be the last. Several current employees who asked not to be named in this story out of fear for their jobs confirmed the incident between Morales and Fleutsch. They shared their own stories of verbal harassment, too, opening a window on a potentially startling situation at City
Hall, in the office where Santa Feans’ money is managed. Chains of command are unclear, according to the employees, and supervisors often don’t grasp basic governmental accounting. Procedures are not clarified. The city’s cash accounts, which should be reconciled daily according to Morales, have been behind for five months as a result of what he and other employees describe as an exodus of staff. A relatively new crop of managers, including Fleutsch, often lean on finance line workers for guidance on how to run the department, the employees tell SFR. It’s chipped away at workplace culture and threatens the city’s fiscal health. And then there’s the yelling. SFR has reviewed multiple hostile work environment complaints submitted to human resources naming Fleutsch, who has served the department since 2016, as the aggressor. After several complaints from staff members, city officials commissioned an independent investigation to determine whether action was necessary. Many employees were interviewed, and they say that shortly after, ofFleutsch changed of fices but remained in his position.
“The City of Santa Fe takes employee concerns very seriously,” Kristine Mihelcic, constituent and council services director for the city, writes in an email to SFR. She also confirmed the investigation is ongoing. The city did not otherwise respond to SFR’s questions about allegations of verbal abuse by Fleutsch, or specific criticisms of his accounting knowledge, and did not make Fleutsch available for an interview. Mihelcic did point out that he was on the team that found inconsistencies in the city’s books, which led to the publication of the McHard report, a sweeping look into various instances of mismanagement in the city’s finances that was issued in late 2017. Several employees have left the Finance Department, and among those who remain, many wish they could follow their former colleagues—but struggle to find other jobs. “Many of us don’t have the option of walking out the door,” one employee says. “It becomes disturbing in the way that it starts affecting our morale, our health, our well-being. It makes us sick. It’s made me sick.” Another employee tells SFR they’ve worked for the city for years, adding: “I’ve never felt threatened until now.”
NEWS
Employees have begun recording and documenting every encounter with management, particularly Fleutsch, and Morales has requested a union representative be present at many of his meetings with his superiors. Many of the rank-and-file finance staffers have worked for municipal government all their working lives, but the new crop of managers, despite having a solid background in investments and private-sector work, is still making basic accounting errors over a year after taking the helm, according to the employees. Morales worries that critical issues raised in the McHard report are going unaddressed. “We are now going on five months of the city’s cash account not being reconciled in a timely manner, and this is an assured audit finding in the upcoming [comprehensive annual financial report],” Morales wrote in an email to SFR in March. “Moreover, a directive has been given from the Finance Department to have monthly closeouts, this is impossible without correct cash balances.” “We’re building on an arroyo, a bed of sand,” Morales tells SFR. One employee recorded an exchange between Fleutsch and another employee in which Fleutsch is loudly criticizing staff. “Did I get any help from the accountants on this stuff?” Fleutsch can be heard saying. “You guys knew in advance that I didn’t understand 29 and 30,” referring to a specific task the Finance Department was working on. “Then how do you oversee an accounting department?” an employee says, voice trembling. “How do you oversee it?” “I just want you to know, Bradley, I will be looking for another job,” says a dif different employee, who later confirmed to SFR it was her voice on the tape. “I don’t care if it’s in the middle of an audit, because this is bullshit.” She’s working somewhere else now.

ore than a decade ago, in a room of fresh College of Santa Fe students, most of whom were from out of state, a poetry professor introduced to us our new home: “This is the first place I’ve ever lived where I get the sense that this is blood-soaked ground.” Millennia of human history and centuries of colonialism have imbued in New Mexico a sense of our state as one contiguous battleground. The advent of the automobile, then, added to that blood some gasoline, motor oil, alcohol and no lack of tears. As long as people have been dying on roads, memorials have been erected to their memories—commonly known as descansos, which literally translates to the plural of rest, landing or pause. And while

Stopping to notice Northern New Mexico’s roadside memorials
marking the scene of a tragedy is an important role of these sites, some of these memorials aren’t even for people who lost their lives in auto accidents—SFR’s research into causes of death for the 12 sites we visited revealed those memorialized sometimes died in hospitals, in their homes, or otherwise not on the roads. Why their families chose these sites could have been for happy memories, the want for a public place to gather, or perhaps just because the surrounding scenery is so breathtaking. What a place to
rest forever. There’s a sense of turning a blind eye when it comes to these memorials. Many are in areas restricted to pedestrians, but those who erect and maintain them seem to do so with impunity. While photographing these sites, police cruisers blew by without a second glance toward me poking around on the shoulder of a booming I-40. An unspoken rule allowing personal shrines erected by families on land that is not their own seems like it would quickly get out of hand—but somehow, the roads
and minds of our state have been self-policing. While some roads have more memorials than others, nowhere feels too full, and there seems to be an unofficial agreement between us all that we don’t touch a memorial unless we built it. There is a law on New Mexico’s books outlawing desecration of these shrines, and it seems to be one of the only laws in existence that people actually universally follow. (When photographing these sites, SFR did not disturb any aspect of them, even if it was clear something had fallen or broken. Each of these descansos remained exactly as we found it once we left.) Hundreds, if not thousands, of people pass some of these sites every day. Others are tucked onto mountain roads and hear almost nothing but birdsong and wind. Each represents lives shifted, changed, ended and altered—and while we can’t possibly know the stories behind each one, each of these stories could potentially be our own.
David, Bernadette and Bernice 17 miles west of Albuquerque on I-40 Three drivers were killed in a Jan. 24, 2019 crash of semi-trucks near this site. At first, the new condition of this descanso and its location led us to believe it may be in memorial to them; however, once we tracked down those victims’ names, they did not match any of the names on this cross. SFR has been unable to locate records of these particular people, partly due to one word being unclear and due to the common nature of the names that we could read. However, the search served as a potent reminder that it seems every inch of New Mexico’s roads are seeping with stories of drivers killed or injured, urging us even further to stay vigilant and safe out there.

Galván Heneghan had grown up in southern New Mexico. She wanted to return to the state after James Heneghan finished his residency and post-doc in New Orleans. Her husband, who treats both adults and youth, wanted to practice rural medicine, but practically, this meant he was “driving all over kingdom come”—some days beginning the day in Las Cruces and then driving to Raton the following morning. The couple had three small children and needed to find a more sustainable way for Heneghan to practice. He began working with various agencies to treat patients via telehealth—two-wayvideo. Psychiatrists are in high demand, Galván Heneghan notes, and “the ones that are trained with kids and adolescents
a really agile platform,” Galván Heneghan says, “and frankly, so is behavioral health and health care in general: It’s fluid … and always a moving target, so it was important that we build a system that could adapt easily to that.” Soon, the agencies Heneghan was working with started to adopt EMR-Bear for their own use, and the company subsequently added functionality. “It took on a life of its own … and now it’s what it is today,” says Galván Heneghan, EMR-Bear’s CEO. Today, EMR-Bear is used by nearly 50 agencies in New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and Idaho. While the company has grown, Galván Heneghan says an important part of its success has been remaining focused and providing personalized client service. “Technology has this way of inciting us to do what we can, to do all of things technology can do. … It’s a strong pull for someone who is in love with technology and who is an entrepreneur.” But, she adds, entrepreneurs are better served by remaining strategically focused and growing sustainably. Heneghan will share the company’s origin story and other takeaways as a tech entrepreneur in Santa Fe at KickAss Entrepreneurs of Santa Fe’s April 4 Entrepreneur Storytime. Melanie Lenci founded the series in
TECH
January 2018, after moving to Santa Fe two years prior and immediately jumping into the entrepreneurial community. In addition to attending numerous events, such as Startup Santa Fe’s previous gatherings, Lenci also had vetted two of her own startup ideas through the Santa Fe Business Incubator. Lenci had previously worked as a writer in the communications field, and was largely driven to start the Entrepreneur Storytime series through her own desire to learn more from local businesses. “I like hearing the stories behind a business, behind a venue: How did someone get here? It makes me attached. It makes me want to send someone there. It makes me want to buy from that person. When I know the person, I can attach to something behind a place, or a service; it makes me want to talk about it, and I like sharing that with others.” EMR-Bear is the 13th event in the series, which uses different venues for each event; venue owners also tell their stories at the gatherings. Previous storytimes featured NMCFO, Madre Foods and Honeymoon Brewery. Lenci is working in collaboration with New Mexico Tech Works’ Community Learning Network to bring a version of the program into Santa Fe Public Schools. “We want to inspire kids to see other career options,” she says, “to help them see an option to keep their talents right here in New Mexico, by bringing some of the dynamic and cooler stories into the classrooms.” And those stories, Lenci notes, are plentiful. She receives ongoing ideas from the growing audience for the events. “There’s just so much going on in the entrepreneur community,” she says. “There’s so much energy.” ENTREPRENEUR STORYTIME: EMR-BEAR

SOMETHING FISHY If there’s one thing you can count on fly-fisherfolk for, it’s painstaking levels of patience. But it goes deeper, too, because when it comes to the artistry of tying the flies used for attracting them little fishies, they’re not messing around. Master fisherman Norman Maktima, meanwhile, is the best of the best, and you’ll find him at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Arts this week, imparting skillz, dropping knowledge and opening up everyone’s idea of how fun it can be to stand motionlessly in a river wearing rubber pants. We kid, we kid—Maktima’s flies are gorgeous, and anyone who’s hoping to up their game can learn a lot. Space is limited, so register ahead of time at ahandley@iaia.edu. (Alex De Vore)

EVENT SAT/6 IF YOU CAN HACK IT, THEY CAN TACK IT Full disclosure: I worked as the desk guy at Four Star Tattoo about a million years ago, just so I could be ensconced in that world. And the things I learned about owner/tattooer Mark Vigil’s talent, work ethic and drive have been things I carry to this day. These qualities speak volumes about how Four Star has managed to stay open so long, how it’s won SFR’s Best of Santa Fe poll more years than not and how almost anytime anyone asks a local where that killer piece was done, the answer is Four Star. Saturday April 6 is the celebration of the 20-year mark, and Vigil and company plan to celebrate with special $20 flash pieces all day, the proceeds from which go to benefit The Food Depot. To seasoned vets and newcomers and all points in between, we offer this advice: Go get cut. (ADV) Four Star Tattoo 20th Anniversary: Noon-6 pm Saturday April 6. Free. 825 Topeka St., 984-9131.

ART OPENING FRI/5
New Tech, New Santa Fe artist uses 3-D printing to create unique, lively landscapes Paint and canvas have been the preeminent painters’ mediums for millennia. But after relatively recent developments in 3-D printing tech, which uses machines and plastics (robots, basically) to create just about anything we can imagine, a new way to make and create is making an impact on the art world. Tom McGee, a New Mexicobased experimental landscape artist, has embraced this technology to create vivid, textured depictions of the landscapes of the Southwest, some of which he shows this month at 7 Arts Gallery. “I’m working back and forth between more abstraction and more representation,” he tells SFR. “I’m trying to communicate the wonderful dance between light and life that we experience in New Mexico. The movement that life itself creates is what I play with in all my work.” The impact of 3-D printing on his paintings is both obvious and profound. McGee uses layers of acrylic and color composition to transform paintings into works that are abstract in color but semi-realistic in dimension and representation. Familiar Southwestern landscapes such as Chimney Rock in Abiquiú or San Miguel Chapel here in town come to life with depth through innovative incorporation of technology. Other works, like the
“Light Behind the Sun,” use movement to illustrate the way light and landscape affect the famously brilliant sunsets in New Mexico. While not strict depictions, they convey the meaning and power of the New Mexican landscapes and iconic landmarks. “It was the next layer of experimentation,” McGee explains. “What happens if I make it solid once again? I have [a] background in architecture. I follow 3-D printing and didn’t see anywhere that painters are messing with it. I thought it would be fun to see what could be done. Is this a different way of approaching it?” For one to truly understand and experience this innovative type of art, a visit to 7 Arts Gallery is warranted. A picture simply can’t do McGee’s works justice, so. Attendees can don 3-D glasses at the opening to fully bring out the depth of the pieces. In addition, other artists, many of whom McGee says inspired him, are on display in the gallery. (Layne Radlauer)

Arizona’s R.Ariel’s multidisciplinary tale BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
A
few years back, Phoenix, Arizona-based Rachel Ariel Crocker, who goes by R.Ariel, gave up photography. It had been her main source of artistic creation and release but, she says, it no longer fit or fed her. She turned to music, partly to explore a new source of creation, partly because her mother committed suicide and it proved glorious catharsis. It stuck. She’s a writer, too, having published In North America in 2015, based on a four-month music tour of the US and Canada. Therein, Crocker explored a stream-of-consciousness reflection on music as career, on travel, on being a woman while pursuing these things. It was “lightly edited,” she says, nudging attention toward her more recent book release No One Likes Us, a collection of short stories, and a sneakily included collection of poems titled How to Move On (And Other Things I Haven’t Learned Yet). This isn’t even mentioning how Brian Eno trumpeted R.Ariel’s praises circa 2014 for the NOISE Festival, a British not-actual-festival that seeks to demolish the difficult entry into the music industry for regular folk. That was based on the first real song she ever created, she says, and it was a bolt of confidence she’s carried since. “I have no formal training at all,” she says by phone. I’m not positive, but it sounds like she’s nursing a cigarette. “My family never really had money to get us lessons, and then, also, I’d probably say

phased them out in favor of more handson production and beat-making. “I don’t want to say I completely dropped guitar, because I still play guitar every day,” she explains, “but I started messing around with beats and keyboards and I’ve just fallen in love with the production and the beats. If I can make a beat that slaps …” Cut to January this year and the release of Where You Are, the natural and powerful evolution of a musician unafraid to experiment.

the production of it all is decidedly more focused over previous efforts. R.Ariel found her sound, and though there is familiarity creeping up from the corners of an indie sort of darkness, there is also hope and beauty. Crocker tours extensively, and often has more tour dates per year than most bigname musicians can muster. It’s mainly about loving to travel, she points out. She still writes literature, too, and recently has started kicking around the idea of getting into videography. A few days before our interview, she says, Crocker traded a guitar to a friend for a Nikon. She’s learning how it all works—DIY, btw, just like the music—and says she wants to help her fellow musician-friends make videos. Her live show already features a visual component, though what that looks like moving forward is anyone’s guess. Who even knows what else she might do? “Who was it … Nina Simone? Who said that anything you say as an artist is innately political?” Crocker muses. “Because you’re suggesting a way of being and a way of processing. My suggestions in my music are of self-love and self-reflection; taking responsibility and accountability. Some people would say that’s political, I guess, but I’m much more communal-based—sharing of art itself, I think, is a radical act, and I’m much more interested in people practicing vulnerability.” CO U R T
there was a bit of sexism—people were encouraging my brother to play guitar, but not me.” After years of attending underground and DIY shows in her hometown as a teen, however, she picked up a guitar of her own and set about learning to play. “It felt really obsessive,” she says. “I’d sit there for six hours straight trying to play the same thing on guitar over and over and over.” Albums eventually followed, like the one-two punch of 2015’s Changer and This World, which were released both digitally and on cassette (the cassettes have sold out, in case you’re wondering) within a couple months of each other. She wrote of poverty (the Crocker family amounted to eight people in a two-bedroom house), loss and love, heartache and wanderlust. Crocker’s voice on these albums is a stunner, reverb-laden and gorgeous over lilting backing tracks and simple yet haunting beats. Guitars were present on these releases, but a change was in the air; by 2017’s Oh, Crocker

THE CALENDAR with Anne Hillerman
COURTESY ANNE HILLERMAN
As Anne Hillerman kicks off the release of her fifth novel, she’s still catching up to her dad, Tony, whose 18 volumes began the stories of detectives Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn. Added to them now is Anne’s new heroine, Bernadette Manuelito, a Navajo woman honing her investigative skills, and other recurring characters. The Tale Teller is set for release April 9 from HarperCollins publishers, and the Santa Fe resident spends that night on home turf. (6 pm Tuesday April 9. $30; includes a signed book. Violet Crown Cinema, 1606 Alcaldesa St., 216-5678). (Julie Ann Grimm) We know you don’t want to spoil it for us, but what’s going to surprise us about this new book? Joe Leaphorn, who was the character with which my dad started the series and a character I haven’t really brought to the foreground in my books, is the main crime-solver in The Tale Teller. And I think people will be surprised because I have been using him all along as a kind of a supporting, sort of fatherly, grandfatherly type to the two younger detectives, but in The Tale Teller he gets to take the reins. You got a three-book deal after Rock with Wings, so is this the last one under that contract? Are there likely more books on the horizon? Let me think (laughs). There is one more—the one I am working on now. This is why I didn’t become an accountant. [SFR: In the future?] Yes, I think so. I just got assigned a new editor at HarperCollins who has kids in preschool, so I am thinking she is going to want to work with me at least until her kids are out of high school. So we will see. I’m really enjoying writing these stories. Every time I am working on one, I am coming up with other ideas that don’t really fit in this book so I just make a list of them. Hopefully, I will live long enough to get all of these ideas put into books. What are your strategies for keeping the storylines fresh at this point? I try to move the stories to different settings on the reservation, and part of my research process is actually driving to the places I write about. So, part of what keeps my batteries charged is the road trips, having that time in the car, driving through that beautiful scenery so I can just think about stuff. Usually there is no cell phone service, so I don’t have to worry about getting phone calls. That really helps. I subscribe to the Navajo Times and I really try to keep up with what is going on in the reservation and in the world and incorporate some of those threads into my stories, too.

Brotherly Love Museum of Indian Arts and Culture re-welcomes Diego and Mateo Romero BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
t’s been over 30 years since Berkeley, California-raised artists and brothers Diego and Mateo Romero (Cochiti) first returned to their home state of New Mexico, and 25 since they first showed their work at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. They’ll return to the institution this week as the museum’s 2019 Living Treasures designees, and for the new exhibition The Brothers Chongo: A Tragic Comedy in Two Parts. Chosen by last year’s recipient of the same honor, Maria Samora, the brothers Romero may work in different mediums—pottery and ceramics for Diego, paint and multimedia for Mateo—but are interconnected through a certain levity that just plain brings out the charm in their studied and impressive works. “I’m really interested in the dichotomy present in both their works,” freshman curator Lillia McEnaney tells SFR. “They’re interested in engaging with humor as well as political issues—I think, shown together, they really foster a conversation.” McEnaney is spot-on in her assessment, though both Romeros are quick to deflect too much praise. “I hardly consider myself a treasure. I tend to see myself more in terms of a student,” Diego says by phone. “Clay keeps you hum-
ble—there’s always something to learn. I don’t think there’s any such thing as a master. Having said that, I’m very honored to be held in such a high regard by my peers and colleagues and other people in the community.” Diego’s ceramics and pottery blend the concepts of traditional and contemporary Native and pop art for moving yet playful pieces with a comic book bent. His plan early on in his career was to head to an East Coast art college and learn to draw comics professionally, but by accepting a position at the Institute of American Indian Arts when he was 19, he met master potter Otellie Loloma (Hopi) and developed a deep love for the medium and its associated techniques. He’d go on to study at UCLA, but his love for comics never waned—rather, it eked its way into his body of work again and again. Emblazoned on pots and dishes are illustrative figurative and narrative elements with bold line work and a humorous angle whereby Diego can poke fun at Native arts and institutions while maintaining and displaying a simultaneous reverence for such topics. For his part, Mateo’s expressionist works (“… and a little bit of impressionism,” he says) can be explained as simply as portraiture of people he’s known—though if we go deeper, we learn he does consider himself political, particularly when it comes to works

from the earlier part of his career. “I think all interesting art contains ideas embedded within the art,” he says. “Earlier in my life I did work which I called ‘social landscapes’—issues that Natives were facing on the reservation, like fetal alcohol syndrome, unemployment rates, domestic violence. If you live on a reservation, it’s not like living in America. There are a whole series of pressures that don’t really exist for mainstream Americans.” Mateo attended Dartmouth and previously taught at IAIA but, he says, he’s lived solely as a painter for the last 20 years. Today, he’s more interested in giving a voice to the voiceless through his art. “If any human being, a writer, a filmmaker, a dancer, looked at me and said they liked what I did, that they started drawing, painting, making films more, I would say, ‘That’s the role model, that’s the essence of it,’” he says. “What I keep coming back to, the most important thing of this all, is that Native people have a voice.” The Living Treasures show becomes a bit of a check-in with the present, and a sort of retrospective of the brothers’ career-spanning work. McEnaney culled from MIAC’s collection as well as that of private collectors local and national. And even if the Romeros feel uncomfortable being described as living treasures, we’re pretty sure the term’s not quite strong enough. Catch them at the exhibition’s opening this Sunday along with a lecture about their last 25 years of artistry.

SFRE PORTE R .CO M /A RTS /ACTI N G O UT
ACTING OUT Know When to Walk Away, and Know When to Run fter more than 25 years of dramas, musicals, skits and improv, I’m over it. I’ve come to the not-so-difficult decision that I’m quitting performance. I’ll continue to write this column, and seeing plays will always be one of my favorite things—but my name likely won’t be in any more programs. Big declaration, yeah. But it feels reasonable. But I don’t expect you people to really care too much about that. For real. I know my place. What I would like to plumb, however, is the idea of knowing when to quit; coming to terms with being done with something that used to be your favorite thing, or perhaps that you even felt defined your existence. Last summer, I chatted with magician John Carney (Acting Out: “The Secret,” August 8, 2018) in advance of a show in Santa Fe (of which he’s doing a couple more this weekend, by the way). I asked how his career in magic had changed over the decades. He said that he accepts fewer jobs than he did as a younger man; he doesn’t want to burn out. He referenced meeting a popular magician when he was a kid: “I’m just a pimply-faced teenager, like, ‘Oh, jeez, it must be great to be a professional magician!’” Carney told me. “And he’s like—‘Oh yeah, great. You’re on your feet all day, your feet are sore, you’ve gotta go out with the client afterward and drink or you don’t get booked back, then you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and your eyes are bloodshot and you say, ‘I’m gonna do this trick 80 times today.’” We all know that artist with the shitty attitude. They had the (mis)fortune of being very talented at something, and the bittersweet luck of being able to make a living from it—but then eventually
they’ve been riding a unicycle or playing the trombone for five decades, jeered at like a dancing monkey at parties, having to be “on” all day every day for years, watched their paychecks only wane in a society that doesn’t value their skill, and they’re sick of it. They’re over it. They hate it. But—it’s their job. They can’t stop. At the community theater in my hometown, I’ll never forget the animosi-

ty of a few company members during my last show there. They didn’t smile. They barked orders. They yelled at the children in the cast. The venomous hiss of whispered arguments in the wings was certainly audible in the audience. This was all volunteer work, by the way; no one was making a paycheck. No one needed to do that show. I wanted to tell them to leave. The inconvenience of their absence would pale in comparison to their toxicity when they were present. I don’t want to be that person. Especially considering that acting has always been merely an extracurricular hobby for me. I’m able to say, “It’s not fun anymore, so I’m gonna stop.” Not everyone has that luxury. So in February, as I neared performances as a cast member in Church & State at the Los Alamos Little Theatre, when I found myself stressed out, eating too much shitty food, crying about memorizing lines and whirling around like an unreasonably pissed-off community theater dervish, too full of irritation and frustration to enjoy the wonderful folks with whom I shared that stage, I knew that something had shifted. And of course there are those people who love what they do until the day they die. There are those who will be buried

with their unicycle, or arrange for a trombone quintet at their funeral. I hope to be one of them when it comes to my main gig, writing. I don’t think I’ll ever not love writing. And there are people who will never not love acting. But it has to be okay to slough off bits of your identity when they no longer suit you. And, hey, time for some real talk: It’s likely that the people around you want you to. When we force ourselves to do things that we don’t want to do, we get unpleasant. People can tell when we are unhappy. When I arrived at a dress rehearsal for Church & State half an hour late, on four hours of sleep, full of Wendy’s chicken nuggets that I scarfed down in the car as I sped up 84/285, having forgotten my costume pants and digesting my stomach lining over remembering my monologues, I immediately burst into tears from stress. Blame it on a demanding day job, general anxiety, shifting from my Leo sun to my Pisces moon at my Saturn return—whatever. It was all too much. I ducked into a dressing room to compose myself. Outside the curtain, I heard a kind, pitying voice sigh: “We like Charlotte.” After a brief pause, someone else, whom I’d never met before that crazy moment, said dryly: “… Why?” That was when I knew I was done. If my first impression with these kind people was one so unpleasant and scattered, if I no longer got happy butterflies as I waited for my entrance, if I had a hard time keeping tears at bay long enough to get my makeup applied—this was not fun anymore. Nor was it fun for the people around me. The graceful thing to do would be to bow out. (After the three weekends of performances, of course.) So thanks, Kenny Rogers, you ol’ gambler, for your eternal knowledge: “The secret to survivin’ is knowin’ what to throw away and knowin’ what to keep.” If you’re on the edge of losing your mind about something that you don’t have to do, just let it go. Art is amazing and beautiful and vital—but there’s one form of it that, for me, just isn’t getting the return on investment that it has for the last quarter of a century. But what am I if not a theater kid? Well, I’m a lot of other things. And turns out that at this point in my life, I’m a lot nicer when I’m out of the stage lights. Just look for me in the audience with my notebook, where I’m happiest. And that is more than OK.

Food Improvement Local cooking schools offer a cornucopia of classes BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

hether it’s to master a specific cuisine or just to make tasty food at home for friends or family, there’s always good reason to get schooled in culinary arts. “I had to learn to cook because my mom was a terrible cook.” So began the career of chef Johnny Vollertsen, popularly known around these parts as Johnny Vee, and the around-the-world culinary journey that landed him in Santa Fe. Originally from Rochester, New York, Vollertsen honed his craft working both front- and back-of-house in restaurants from New York City to Sydney, Australia, where he opened that country’s first Cajun restaurant in 1986. Upon his return to the states, Vollertsen ran Jane Butel’s renowned Southwest Cooking School, where he
shared his love of cooking, and also learned that he really loved teaching. When he met Mike and Karen Walker, owners of Las Cosas Kitchen Shoppe in the DeVargas Center, the three agreed their in-shop kitchen should be more than a demonstration space—it should be an active place of learning. This month Las Cosas Cooking School (DeVargas Center, 181 Paseo de Peralta, 988-3394) celebrates its 20th year, offering three to four classes per week, with a guest chef every two weeks. Vollertsen says cooking classes are “90 percent hands-on” to ensure students are learning skills as well as recipes. Las Cosas also offers instructional classes such as knife skills and how to use a pressure cooker. A bonus for shoppers is that if you buy knives or pressure cookers from the store, the classes on using them are free. There’s often a waiting list for the most popular classes, such as high-altitude baking, a three-hour intensive where students of all ages learn about the challenges of baking at altitude by preparing two versions of the same dishes, adjusted and unadjusted.

crabs with garlic and pepper, and crunchy prawn cakes. Vollertsen, who has also penned a cookbook, Cooking with Johnny Vee: International Cuisine with a Modern Flair, in addition to being the food editor at Santa Fean magazine, is always adding new classes inspired by his favorite cuisines and cookbooks. A current read, he says, is Koreatown: A Cookbook, so expect to see more classes in Korean cooking coming soon to the Las Cosas Cooking School schedule.
APRIL Saturday Friday
Johnny Vee can teach you how to cook at Las Cosas Kitchen Shoppe in the DeVargas Center.
“It’s a fun way to demonstrate the challenges of cooking at altitude,” says Vollertsen. “This is a great class because it also usually has people new to Santa Fe and has been a great place for lots of people to make friends.” There is an enticing variety of classes offered at Las Cosas, from “New Mexico Favorites Gone Gourmet” and “The Magic of Mole” to “Vegetable Dishes from an Italian Garden” and “Tasty Thai Street Food.” An example of the breadth of learning in just three hours of instruction, the latter teaches students classics such as grilled pork skewers, Bangkok fisherman’s soup, pad thai, coconut rice and black sticky rice pudding as well as more complex dishes including sour orange fish curry, deep-fried soft-shell

Another school that teaches training on, and insight into, ethnic cooking is relative new kid on the block, Open Kitchen (202-285-9840). Helmed by Hue-Chan Karels, this combination school/catering/special events company was originally based in Washington, DC, until Karels and her husband found their dream home in Santa Fe. Aiming to “inspire taste buds, connect mind and body, and explore the relationship between food and culture,” as she writes on her website, upcoming classes include an April “Root to Leaf” cooking class and, in June, a class on northern, central and southern Vietnamese cuisines. In the near future, chef Karels also plans on offering a Vietnamese food culture series, Pho and Beyond. Among the options for those looking to expand their culinary knowledge and skills are cooking classes offered through Santa Fe Community College’s continuing education program (sfcc.edu/offices/ continuing-education). Students of all skill levels can choose from foundation classes such as cheesemaking and high-altitude baking to more exotic options including Chinese regional cuisine, Puerto Rican cooking and Native American food with a modern twist. An impressive variety of classes on vegan and vegetarian cooking are also offered. For those interested in upping their local and regional food game, the Santa Fe School of Cooking (125 N Guadalupe St., 983-4511) has been specializing in the teaching of American Southwest food for almost 30 years. From tamales to rellenos to sauces—and chile, of course—the school is a go-to for those looking to hone their skills in New Mexican fare. Also popular are the school’s restaurant walking tours, where students can learn about food from celebrated local chefs. The options obviously abound here in Santa Fe, not just for eating delicious food, but learning how to create amazing dishes yourself. Take advantage of the bounty.

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

Filmmaker Eric Khoo brings all the feels and much of the food in Ramen Teh (or Ramen Shop, if you prefer), an adorable mini-opus dedicated to family, cultural exchange and pressures, and the healing power of shared food. Masato (Takumi Saitoh) is adrift, a young man who works days in his father’s famous ramen shop in Japan, where he’s given little responsibility, and spends nights trying to concoct one-of-a-kind recipes using styles and spices from his dead mother’s homeland of Singapore. When his father dies, however, he discovers his mom’s journal and a cache of forgotten photos. Choosing to leave Japan behind, Masato traces his maternal roots, embarking on a perilous reckoning with the past and learning a thing or two about the coming-together of culinary styles. But when his grandmother on his mother’s side refuses to accept him, Masato must harness the power of delicious ramen to do right by himself and put to rest decades of bad blood. Told through a combination of present-day happenings and flashbacks that flesh out his parents’ story, Khoo doles out revelations quietly but sweetly.

Khoo’s vision is, at times, glorious, particularly as Masato finds long-lost family or deals with buried memories. Saitoh is subtly excellent, a disarming smile here and a painstaking meal preparation there, but always with a quiet hurt bubbling up from someplace dark. Where Ramen Teh truly shines, however, is in its depictions of disparate Asian foods. Often, such food-based films put the edibles in the background and focus solely on the interpersonal relationships, but here we truly feel like we’re learning something or, at least, get a sudden hankering for noodles, and it properly proves that food can bring us together like almost nothing else.
This makes it easier to take the slow pace and so-so acting from some of the supporting cast, because even if we sometimes wish Masato would just get to it already, we can’t help but feel for him as a prodigal son of sorts. And then, someplace between the sweeping drone shots of Japanese neighborhoods, the seemingly strange but objectively mouth-watering dishes and the clear respect for talented chefs, we find a simple story told well, and it feels so nice. RAMEN TEH Directed by Khoo With Saitoh Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 89 min.

+ HAUNTING AND MASTERFUL - YOU’LL PROBABLY SEE THE TWIST COMING
On the one hand, wunderkind director Jordan Peele is a master of suspense and tension, leading us through an onslaught of unsettling truths and fictions alongside terrifying madness in Us, the followup to his 2017 smash hit Get Out. On the other, the logistics of his new film’s narrative elements unravel just enough to leave us with unanswered questions despite a chilling and satisfying conclusion. If Get Out represented the loss of power, Us is the rise to re-obtain it, though Peele takes us deeper and darker than his previous work, and more capably so. We follow the Wilsons, a typical family in Northern California, as they hit their Santa Cruz beach house for summer vacation. Adelaide, the mother (Lupita Nyong’o in, believe it or not, her first-ever leading role), grew up there, and a haunting event from childhood still follows her despite a loving husband (Black Panther alum Winston Duke) and children (Evan Alex as the son and the beyond talented Shahadi Wright Joseph as the daughter). It’s enough to drive Adelaide and the family out of Santa Cruz altogether, but before they can actually leave, mysterious doppelgängers stage a violent home invasion,
Jordan Peele rules.

THE INVENTOR: OUT FOR BLOOD IN SILICON VALLEY
thrusting the Wilsons into a nightmare as horrendous as it is baffling. Peele patiently doles out the breadcrumbs, leaving the lead-up to the major events of Us feeling decidedly more tense than the events themselves. But then, the evil is always scarier before we’ve identified it, yes? With brilliant use of sound design and soundtrack, he toys with our emotions and expectations, creating a sort of Pavlovian response to song and audio cues. Nyong’o’s performance is flawless throughout, lending sympathy to her core character and a quiet monstrosity to her shadow self. Other such mirror characters provide scares as well, but none reach the sublime and subdued insanity of a dead-eyed Nyong’o staring carefully into her own eyes, even if Joseph’s wide-eyed and cold smile as the alternate daughter does follow us to the grave. A sparse but vital supporting cast wows as well, like Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker (far better known as a comedian) as the friends with the sad rosé jokes and the barely contained ugliness bubbling up from someplace dark within them. We kind of hate them, and we definitely think we’re supposed to. But then we reach the finish line, where (no spoilers) we’re supposed to accept and process a lot of confusing information rather quickly, some CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

+ VINCE NEIL STUFF IS OK - WE HATE THESE PEOPLE; THE MUSIC IS WORSE THAN WE REMEMBERED
It’s been 18 years since the members of hair metal band Mötley Crüe released their tellall book The Dirt, and streaming giant Netflix has given it the feature treatment in a new film with the same old title. A tour through the band’s founding, its absolutely insane years of drug and alcohol use, that rise to super-stardom and, eventually, its members’ sobering-up and growing into living mummies with the collective skin of an old baseball glove, it’s no small wonder The Dirt won’t ever make it to the big screen. It’s terrible. From the confusing choice to give each of the principal band members (or the actors who play them, anyway) their own sections of narration despite irksomely similar voices, to the problematic way the film version of The Dirt lionizes Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars and Vince Neil’s utter disrespect for women and each other, what we get is a disjointed biopic-lite that would’ve felt right at home on the Lifetime network were it not for its crassness. The scene wherein Ozzy drinks his own urine is enough to make us wince, and it doesn’t get much better anyplace else in the movie. Maybe it would get better toward the end, when all their nonsense catches up with them? Naw, that’s done awfully, too. Particularly challenging is the daytime TV-caliber acting, especially from the likes of the usually talented Iwan Rheon (of Hulu’s wildly underrated The Misfits and a little show called Game of Thrones) as guitarist Mick Mars. He seems more bored than we do by the cocaine-fueled juvenile antics of the rest of the band, though it feels like we’re supposed to find such things heroic or funny; maybe it’s just meant to illustrate that Mars was older than the rest and suffering from a debilitating bone disorder? Whatever. He still sucks. Similar marks go to Douglas Booth as Nikki
Sixx and some dude named Machine Gun Kelly as Tommy Lee, two actors who sound like they’re reciting from memory rather than, y’know, acting. Daniel Webber as Vince Neil, however, does show promise—or maybe he was just the only one with actual plot points/ real-life events outside of doing too much coke and punching women in the face. SNL cast member Pete Davidson’s in this thing, too, and he’s just so bad it’s hardly worth mentioning. And so, if the goal was to wow us, to shock us or to otherwise show us how far Mötley Crüe’s members came despite the perilous road to fame and wealth, The Dirt fails, leaving instead a bad taste in our mouths and the disappointment from knowing that the song “On With the Show” is forever ruined because we know just how far into asshole-dom these dudes sank. The Dirt may have been fasttracked in the wake of Bohemian Rhapsody‘s success, but it still feels like this one’s for super-fans only—and it might ruin the band for them, too. (ADV)

+ POIGNANT; ABSURD HILARITY - SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF REQUIRED
A new twist on the odd-couple trope brings Matthew Broderick and Géza Rhorig to the center of this exploration of grief. Rhorig’s sensitive take on recently widowed Hasidic cantor Schmuel collides with Broderick’s awkward underachieving professor-type in filmmaker Shawn Snyder’s To Dust, a drama centered on death that also achieves the rare feat of being funny in the right dose. Though the audience never sees her face, the absence of Schmuel’s late wife is a character in itself—his inability to quickly let her go and move on is what defines him. When consultation with the rabbi does not settle his trouble, Schmuel seeks other counsel, ultimately landing in Albert’s community college classroom. Albert (Broderick) is at first a reluctant partner in Schmuel’s quest to understand the division between his wife’s physical body and the freedom of her immortal soul. As Schmuel tries to justify his orthodox beliefs with the earthly reality of decomposition, a series of unholy science experiments ensue, and the pair go on a bizarre journey. Broderick’s deadpan desire for distance is soon replaced by a kinship of sorts, and the characters unfold just enough to tug on the heartstrings. While there’s no doubt some stereotype about the sect of Judiasm is built in, the treatment of Schmuel’s faith and his

traditions feels more reverent than exploitive. Schmuel’s sons (Leo Heller, Ready Player One, and Sammy Voit, The Americans) are splendid, attempting to solve their father’s adult problem while coming to terms with their childish ones. Toss in a critical cameo from Natalie Carter and a bit of a melodramatic and kinda-sorta predictable twist in the end, and voila, existential crisis averted. Kinda-sorta. We appreciate the choice of sparse, deliberate dialog and poignant cinematography, and we’re relieved that there’s nothing too slapstick, allowing the natural funniness of humans being human to come through. While Albert ostensibly is helping Schmuel, they both seem to be unhinged enough to value a new friend and perhaps learn some things. (Julie Ann Grimm)

THE INVENTOR: OUT FOR BLOOD IN SILICON VALLEY

+ THE JOURNOS; THE COMPANY FOOTAGE
- THE STOCK FOOTAGE; PACING
When Silicon Valley med-tech startup Theranos promised it could conduct hundreds of consumer-ordered tests from a drop or two of finger-drawn capillary blood, often within a small, self-contained box device, big-name investors lined up and the all-too-powerful encircled CEO and founder Elizabeth Holmes. Holmes was young—a Stanford dropout with a great big idea. Billions were generated for a company cloaked in secrecy that promised far more than it could ever deliver. But as the misinformation grew and the apparent fraud mounted, Theranos doubled down on false data, ultimately bringing about its own demise amid a mountain of dangerous allegations and seeming insanity on the part of Holmes and her one-time COO, Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani. Documentarian Alex Gibney brings us all the gory details in The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley, the newest HBO documentary. It’s a gripping tale that starts with hope, winds through schadenfreude and ultimately ends up as a cautionary tale about the dangerous intersection of the American healthcare system, money and influence. We hate that it’s like this, but we strangely enjoy the ride. The Inventor predictably features numerous doctors, former employees and experts in candid interviews, but it’s the journalists throughout, from those who were duped by Holmes’ seemingly revolutionary ideas to
those who recognized the grift and exposed it wholesale, who really bring the heat. With a nigh-unprecedented amount of footage from within the company—not to mention tech conferences, television appearances, photo shoots, etc.—Gibney deftly grasps and guides our emotions, of which there are many. We want to like Holmes, then we do like her, but we are eventually disgusted by her ego; or, as New Yorker contributor Ken Auletta, who wrote of Theranos, describes, her zeal. But mostly, we’re disappointed that this story is not uncommon in an America that lionizes the likes of Elizabeth Holmes and Steve Jobs while ignoring the facts in deference to charismatic businesspeople. Gibney does make bizarre choices now and then, from archival footage that just barely applies to offscreen narration or Holmes’ speeches to the glossing-over of a Theranos employee’s suicide committed in the face of rising scrutiny from regulators. Even so, The Inventor shines a light on the pressures of entrepreneurship and consumer fervor, the toxic and far-too-secretive culture of Silicon Valley and the illusion of success when a distorted idea of legacy becomes the powerful’s primary guiding light.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A mushroom shaped like a horse’s hoof grows on birch trees in parts of Europe and the U.S. If you strip off its outer layer, you get amadou, spongy stuff that’s great for igniting fires. It’s not used much anymore, but it was a crucial resource for some of our ancestors. As for the word “amadou,” it’s derived from an old French term that means “tinder, kindling, spunk.” The same word was formerly used to refer to a person who is quick to light up or to something that stimulates liveliness. In accordance with astrological omens, I’m making “Amadou” your nickname for the next four weeks.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Only one of Nana Mouskouris’s vocal cords works, but over the course of an almost 60-year career, the Libran singer has sold over 30 million records in twelve different languages. Many critics speculate that her apparent disadvantage is key to her unique style. She’s a coloratura mezzo, a rare category of chanteuse who sings ornate passages TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Human beings are not with exceptional agility and purity.
