NEWS, MAY 3: “ADDRESSING A HOUSEHOLD CRISIS”

NOT ENOUGH The New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney in Santa Fe recently suggested decreasing the amount of required counseling time for offenders of domestic violence, from 52 to 26 weekly meetings. I have been a professional counselor for over 25 years and have experience counseling domestic violence offenders. Domestic violence is a multi-faceted social problem, not just an anger problem. Often among many offenders, cultural and societal issues of sexism, chauvinism, misogyny, privilege, entitlement and power and control over another person contribute to a lifetime pattern of aggressive, harmful behavior.

Among male offenders, [those in] denial are the highest of all client populations getting counseling. Consequently, time and work are needed (by client and counselor) to effectively intervene in the abusive behavior, and to have offenders take accountability and responsibility for their behavior. Recommending only 26 meetings for offenders to achieve this is unfair to the client, unrealistic, and suggest an expedient “quick fix” cure for abuse and violence in domestic relationships.

JOHN F MOREAU SANTA FE

WORKS FOR SOME I applaud District Attorney [Marco] Serna’s decision to shift the way his office handles domestic violence cases. Clearly, a more thoughtful, nuanced approach is needed.

But the research tells us that if we want to change behavior, we need to distinguish who is doing what to whom and with what impact.

For traditional battering patterns that

grow out of a belief that men have a right and a duty to control women, our existing batterer intervention programs, along with programs designed to empower victims, have been shown to work. These offenders are good candidates for deferred treatment, as long as there is a system in place to ensure accountability.

Situational violence is an entirely different dynamic. For example, a man may hit his wife because she gambled away all their money, but he does not use a pattern of intimidation and violence to establish control or dominance over her. Those cases may not be appropriate for deferment to a batterer’s intervention program.

Other men may be similar to batterers because they use violence to establish relationships of dominance, but they do so in many areas of their lives. These men are singularly resistant to change and, according to the research, they do not benefit from batterer intervention programs. Imposing traditional legal consequences may be the only viable response for this personality type.

In the end, using deferred prosecution and batterer intervention programs to change a batterer’s behavior makes sense.

The challenge will be identifying the right candidates. DAs and their advocates will need to work closely with law enforcement and domestic violence programs to ensure that batterers are given an opportunity to change, but those who are not amenable to change are held accountable.

LETTERS the United Nations, the production of animal-based foods requires more resources and causes more greenhouse-gas emissions than the production of plant-based ones.

If authorities were to levy a 10-cent tax on every pound of meat—and a modest tax on each dairy item and carton of eggs—it would give consumers yet another incentive to eat tasty vegan foods, which are humane, environmentally friendly, and relatively inexpensive compared to meat, eggs, and dairy products, especially if you factor in all the medical bills you can rack up if you eat a lot of fatty, cholesterol-laden animal-based foods.

HEATHER MOORE PETA FOUNDATION NORFOLK, VIRGINIA

HEY NAYSAYERS The sugar tax didn’t pass, but the two issues the measure was intended to address linger and loom larger. New Mexico has poor education outcomes for children coupled with poor health outcomes such as elevated levels of childhood obesity and diabetes exacerbated by overly high consumption of sugary drinks.

Responsibility to act now rests with the 57 percent of voters who cast a “no” vote. It’s not enough to just say no—it’s your turn now to come together to propose other alternatives. We need to see a plan B, C and/or D that can be debated, moved forward, voted on and passed. In the face of years of inaction, the mayor proposed an idea to address the two issues together.

He moved the ball forward despite the loss.

Now Santa Fe residents, community leaders and politicians need to reconvene and resolve these issues in new ways.

If you really believe in producing better outcomes for children in New Mexico, if you support pre-K education and merely voted no because you were opposed only to this specific sugar tax and felt that wasn’t the best way to fund pre-K, then now is your time to step forward. Now is the time to come up with constructive alternative solutions, support them wholeheartedly and make a difference.

It’s easy to vote no. It’s far harder to

take the next step. Let’s hear some reasonable, viable, alternative ideas and let’s get going.

Come this weekend, you’ll want to think long and hard about that cigarette.

Hold On to Your Butts Santa Fe City Council bans smoking on Plaza, may consider more B Y M AT T G R U B S m a t t g r u b s @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

G

et off the unicycle. Don’t throw that ball. Hacky sack over there, please.

The list of prohibited activities on Santa Fe’s Plaza just grew longer—and more definitive. Smoking will no longer be allowed at any time.

After two committee hearings on a smoking ban for Plaza bandstand events, a last-minute change by Councilor Peter Ives during the May 10 City Council meeting made the ban universal. It becomes law on Saturday.

Under the new provisions, smoking a cigarette, cigar, pipe “or any other similar

device that produces smoke and/or odor” is prohibited. Theoretically, that includes vaping and e-cigarettes, unless they produce an odorless cloud. Councilors spent time debating whether the ban could be broadly interpreted to include the relatively new devices, ultimately deciding that it did apply and that language was specific enough to allow a police officer to write a ticket for vaping as well as smoking.

Lighting up or puffing away will earn a warning for a first offense, then a $50 fine and finally a $100 whack on the third violation. The ban stops at the edge of the Plaza, which is defined in city law as the inside curb on each street that bounds the downtown square. Traffic is currently blocked from the streets on the north and east sides of the Plaza.

On Friday, Carlos Vigil sat on a Plaza bench enjoying a sunny day, shade and a cigarette.

“The way I view it, it’s a public park,” he tells SFR. “If people want to smoke here,

they can. … I try to smoke away from people.” Vigil says he wouldn’t move if someone sat down next to him and asked him to stop, but he also wouldn’t park himself next to someone who wasn’t smoking and light up.

Soon, though, he won’t have a choice.

And the council may expand the ban to a planned concert series on the Southside.

Councilor Carmichael Dominguez, who represents District 3, said at the meeting that he plans to introduce a similar measure for concerts at the Southwest Area Node Park—or SWAN Park—in his district.

“I’m exploring the possibility of maybe doing it during bandstand concerts only and, potentially, in the entire park,” he tells SFR. “But I have to think about that a little bit more.”

Currently, Dominguez says, concerts are held on a patch of grass between the ballfield and the playground. For that reason, a parkwide ban makes sense to him.

The City Council would most likely debate such a measure during a June meeting.

The Plaza proposal didn’t draw a crowd, though City Council meetings often see

NEWS a large turnout for controversial issues.

Several speakers supported the proposal.

No one voiced opposition. On the council, District 4 Councilor Mike Harris cast the lone vote against the proposal, arguing that the city was legislating a minor issue.

“I’m bothered by this. I think it’s unnecessary. I think people can and should work this out,” Harris told his fellow councilors. “I was going to propose we put signs up that say ‘thank you for not smoking’ and let people sort it out.”

Councilor Renee Villarreal said a recent Plaza clean-up event showed smoking on the Plaza was more than a health issue during crowded activities. “The biggest trash item we picked up were cigarette butts,” she said.

While more broad than anticipated, the prohibition isn’t as draconian as it might seem.

The Orange County Register reported this month that Laguna Beach’s governing body voted to ban outdoor smoking, vaping and e-cigarettes across the Southern California city. Penalties for violating that ban range up to $500 for three violations in a year.

The American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation says that more than 1,400 cities across the country ban smoking in parks. But just two cities in New Mexico do: Albuquerque and Mesilla.

Neighboring states like Colorado, Texas, Utah and Arizona all have more cities with smoking bans for their parks, though Arizona claims just a handful of such municipalities.

Santa Fe has actually considered a parks ban before. City Councilor Ron Trujillo introduced a measure in 2014 that would have banned smoking at large in city parks—and the Plaza—though it would have provided designated smoking areas.

“We just didn’t have the votes,” Trujillo tells SFR. “Maybe if it does work [on the Plaza] we can look at other places,” he says. “This is a start.”

Two Steps Back How Jeff Sessions’ memo on federal prosecutions could take New Mexico back to a harsher era

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

directive from newly appointed US Attorney General Jeff Sessions instructing prosecutors to seek the most severe charges available threatens to stunt recent progress toward less federal prison time for low-level drug offenders in New Mexico, defense lawyers and drug policy reform advocates tell SFR. “Drug mule” cases make up many of the drug crimes prosecuted in federal court in New Mexico, federal public defender John Butcher says. Some low-level drug runners who get caught mid-shipment are apprehended in Albuquerque, the first overnight stop on Amtrak’s Southwest Chief train from Los Angeles to Chicago. Others are picked up throughout the federally designated “High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area,” which runs east from Farmington down to Santa Fe and into Albuquerque before blanketing most of the southern border from Roswell on. The vast majority of federal drug charges in the state are for trafficking. Possession and brokering drug deals comprise a smaller percentage of crimes.

Drug mule cases, most often involving nonviolent and low-level drug offenders,

were among those singled out in a memo issued by former attorney general Eric Holder in August 2013. It encouraged prosecutors not to charge such people with crimes that could trigger stiffer mandatory minimum sentences, which prevent judges from sentencing defendants to prison for fewer than a predetermined number of years. For example, since 1986, federal law has mandated that a person convicted of holding five kilograms of cocaine with intent to distribute be sentenced to a minimum of 10 years in prison for a first offense.

Holder asked prosecutors to back off. If somebody was arrested with five kilograms of cocaine, but was not an organizer, did not have deep ties to criminal groups and wasn’t carrying a gun or another indicator of violent intent, prosecutors were asked not to charge that person with the quantity that would have triggered the 10 years. Data from the US Sentencing Commission suggests that some federal prosecutors in

New Mexico may have heeded Holder’s directive. It shows that the percentage of sentenced federal drug offenders who received mandatory minimums immediately dropped from 42 percent in 2013 to 25 percent in 2014, and even feel to 20 percent in 2015, the most recent year for which information is available. That’s about half the figure from 2006, the first year the commission began tracking this data. The decrease came even as the number of people prosecuted for trafficking rose from an average of 586 between 2010 and 2012— before the Holder directive—and 646 between 2014 and 2016.

But Ses-

sions has now directed prosecutors to reverse course. The new attorney general wants federal prosecutors to seek the most serious and readily provable charge against all defendants—regardless of circumstance.

“This is going to go after the low-level minimum participants with minor records, because they’re the ones who were getting breaks [under Holder],” Butcher tells SFR. “Breaks” didn’t mean that low-level runners weren’t being charged or sentenced to prison after 2013, he

says. But in some cases, they weren’t getting the book thrown at them. Butcher suggests the new policy will have an outsized effect in New Mexico, with its relatively higher number of trafficking cases involving nonviolent offenders.

Under both the Holder and the Sessions memos, federal prosecutors have not been bound by law to exercise discretion either way in mandatory minimum cases; generally, US attorneys have the authority to determine how prosecutors in their districts handle them. For Molly Gill, a former prosecutor who is now the director of federal legislative affairs at Families Against Mandatory Minimums, that kind of concentrated power is a longstanding threat to the integrity of the US justice system.

“The most powerful person in the courtroom is not the judge, it’s the prosecutor,” says Gill. “Most people think it’s the judge who decides your sentence, but in fact most of the time it’s the prosecutor, especially if they use mandatory sentencing, because then they’ve become judge, jury and executioner.”

The office of New Mexico Acting US Attorney James Tierney did not respond to SFR’s inquiries as to how the Sessions memo will affect drug prosecutions in the state.

Emily Kaltenbach, who serves as both the senior director for the Drug Policy Alliance’s criminal justice reform strategy as well as the organization’s state director in New Mexico, fears the new memo will principally benefit the private prison industry.

“We have struggled with overdose rates for generations,” she tells SFR. “And we know that overly punitive responses, which is what this is, will not result in less demand or sales of drugs.” She points to Santa Fe’s local drug diversion program as an example of a solution that is both compassionate and effective.

Since 2013, Santa Fe’s Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program, wherein police work with case managers and the local district attorney to enroll low-level offenders in treatment programs, has served as a national example for non-punitive approaches to drug use. District Attorney Marco Serna doesn’t think there’s much overlap between those who would qualify for LEAD and those who could be charged with a federal drug crime, but he acknowledges that the city’s approach stands in contrast to Sessions’ hardline.

“For nonviolent crimes, we have our own state and local statutes, and luckily I get to influence how we handle it in the first district,” Serna says. “And we won’t be taking that approach.”

In January 2015, Rivera supported the election of his lieutenant governor Joe Talachy to the governor job while he stayed on in a paid position. A year later he was applying for unemployment. For now, he’s selling his paintings and sculptures.

ord about the tragedy spread the way it does in a small community. There’d been a car wreck. The kids were badly injured; 6-year-old Valentino Rivera’s neck was broken.

Months later, word trickled out that the youngest son of the former governor of Pojoaque Pueblo was on the rebound.

Tino was recovering from almost complete paralysis and a brain injury. His mother Felicia only needed to keep a few fingers on his shirt as the boy pushed a walker across the family basketball court.

The doctors at the specialty hospital in Baltimore were encouraged, though they knew more surgeries were on the way.

But then, the fluid in his brain put too much pressure on his spine. He was shutting down. Tino asked his parents to bring him home to die. They did, and he did.

“The complication was just unfixable,” his father says now. “And we had to let him go.”

On Saturday at nightfall, a traditional Tewa ceremony marked the first year after Tino’s death. A few days before, George and Felicia Rivera told SFR they wanted to talk about it: not just about how Tino lived and died, but the couple’s dramatic departure from what had been a big part of their life’s work in the administration of the Pueblo, and their search for a path forward while still honoring their child’s memory.

Tino’s life changed on March 21, 2015, when the car he was riding in got T-boned while sitting at a red light not far from the family’s home. Airlifted to Albuquerque’s Univeristy of New Mexico Hospital, he spent seven weeks there, then moved to Baltimore’s Kennedy Krieger Institute.

His family followed, remaining on the East Coast for about five months before being able to return to Pojoaque off and on.

A condition called syringomyelia, however, led to the complications in his recovery. After numerous surgeries, the buildup of fluid in his spine sent him into organ failure. It was 14 months of con-

One year after son’s death, former Pueblo governor’s family faces break with leadership and uses hoop dance to heal

and George Rivera, Talachy was quoted in the Santa Fe New Mexican saying, “George and I are still tight.”

It’s not clear when that changed.

Felicia says she’s grateful to have been hired by the nearby Nambé Pueblo administration. A descendant of Hispanic and Italian families in Santa Fe, she loves putting on educational programs at the tribal facility for all the kids in the area.

Her favorite project is the one that’s giving her hope.

Tino had moves. Not just the springy energy that had him running all over the hills, but insatiable dancing. At age 4, he tried hoop dancing and got hooked. Soon, hip-hop dance classes were also inspiring his daily circles along the patio wall. His parents recall the boy jumping from flat rock to flat rock to balance and move and then go again.

He studied with champion dancers Steve and Nakotah LaRance when the father-son pair brought hoop dancing to the Pojoaque Wellness Center as part of a suicide-prevention effort. Tino went to the national hoop dance championships at the Heard Museum in Phoenix and performed at feast days and other local events. Even during the prolonged theraRIGHT: Valentino Rivera smiles on Father’s Day 2015 from his bed at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore.

py in the hospitals, his mother says Tino was still trying to dance.

“When he knew he was going to pass, they have someone special go in there and ask the kids, ‘How do you want to be remembered?’ He wanted to be remembered the way he was before the accident, and dancing, and he wanted the kids to know that’s what he did when he was well,” she says.

So after the hospitals and the funeral directors were paid, the family started a nonprofit called Lightning Boy Foundation (his Tewa name, Tzigiwhaeno, means lightning), with about $15,000 left over in an account they’d set up with contributions during his illness. A few fundraisers later, they’re using the money to pay drummers and dancers for weekly classes at Nambé Wellness Center. Their daughter Paloma, now 5, is among the students.

“You lose your child so many times and in so many different ways,” says Felicia. “It’s like over and over again. It’s hard to accept that you have to live without him in this world, but the only way to do that is by living for him.”

She’s even learning a little hoop dance.

The Heart of Darkness A WALK THROUGH THE SCORCHED LANDSCAPES WHERE OUR FOREST USED TO BE AND A GLIMPSE OF OUR FUTURE FIRES

irst there’s a spark, and then the fire. We all stare at the sky, smell the smoke. After the trees and brush and roots are gone, floods roar through arroyos and down hillsides.

Weeds invade as soon as the ground has cooled.

Often, the long-term changes aren’t that obvious, especially when compared with flames and floods. But what’s been happening across tens of thousands of acres within the Jemez Mountains isn’t subtle. Nor are changes happening slowly.

In what amounts to the blink of an eye, the Jemez have experienced landscape-level changes in their forests and watersheds.

Some of the woodsy playlands New Mexicans have known for generations won’t ever return.

“It’s easy to look out here and see all the dead trees and feel all bad about it, all depressed about it,” says Collin Haffey, an ecologist with the US Geological Survey.

“It’s harder to see the remnant forests.”

In April, Haffey and a team of artists and conservationists went to look at those remnant forests, indulging a journalist in tow. On the Saturday before Easter, we visited the “heart of darkness”—it’s the 14

In the Jemez, aspens are growing up where pine forests once stood.

name Haffey and some of his colleagues have given a 33,000 acre area of the Jemez Mountains scorched by an inferno in 2011’s Las Conchas fire.

Since the 1980s, an increasing number of big fires of over 1,000 acres have been burning in the western United States.

They come on the heels of decades of fire suppression in the forests. And as the climate warms, the sheer number of fires has grown, too, and the wildfire season has lengthened by about two months.

Even this year, with a bumper snowpack in the mountains and recent cool rains, the National Interagency Fire Center is predicting significant wildfire danger for southwestern and central New Mexico.

Outside Santa Fe, the Sangre de Cristos have experienced big blazes in recent years, and the Gila National Forest is the current record-holder for the state’s largest fire. In 2012, the Whitewater-Baldy Fire burned nearly 300,000 acres of forest. But perhaps no place better illustrates how southwestern forests will continue changing in the warming world than the Jemez Mountains.

The Jemez forests have been hammered by bigger and nastier fires since the late 1990s. To mention just a few: In 1996, the Dome Fire burned about 16,000 acres of the Santa Fe National Forest and Bandelier National Monument. Started as a prescribed fire, the 2000 Cerro Grande burned out of control, lighting up 48,000 acres, destroying or damaging 280 homes in Los Alamos and wiping out 40

buildings at the national laboratory.

Then six years ago, Las Conchas devoured 156,000 acres, with flames visible from the Santa Fe city limits. That fire’s behavior, growing from 40 to 43,000 acres in its first 14 hours, defied the rules.

That fire also changed our expectations when it comes to fire—and what comes back after the flames.

From Highway 4, we turn down a gravel road where live ponderosa pines still tower above, blocking out the sky.

Las Conchas burned through here, but it’s still cool and green, shady and quiet. Haffey points out “graduation flats” where high school kids come to party. Today, that meadow is green, dotted with the spring’s first dandelions.

As we continue southeast, the vista opens up. Nothing here stands taller than a basketball hoop, except for spindly, blackened tree trunks. The skeletons with thick trunks and black branches are ponderosas, Haffey points out. Douglas firs have skinnier trunks and white branches.

On one side of the road, aspen trees are beginning to spread light green leaves to the spring. On the other, the predominant plant is the thorny locust. When Haffey was out here 10 days after Las Conchas burned through, the locust sprouts were already a foot tall. “That was with zero rain,” he says.

But there are also rabbits and squirrels here, and a chipmunk runs past, its tail poking straight into the air. Where the as-

pens are taking over, it feels like this will be a forest someday. Not a ponderosa forest. But a forest, nonetheless.

Kathleen Brennan, a documentarian, and Shawn Skabelund, an installation artist, are here as part of the East Jemez Landscapes Futures project, which Haffey hopes can incorporate art and storytelling into land management. He’s taking them into the burn scar so the artists can see what’s been happening on the ground since Las Conchas in 2011 and the Dome Fire in 1996.

“Art and story can be used in ways to inform, engage and involve a community, and in Northern New Mexico, people have really strong ties to place,” he says. “I want art to be that conduit between communities, scientists and managers, and back and forth.”

He envisions an art collaborative, and soliciting art from local communities which can be exhibited in lobbies and visitors centers. “That would allow for people, as individuals or groups, to tell their story of how those big fires and landscape-scale changes affected them.” This idea isn’t separate, in his mind, from managing the land for healthy fire, species diversity and a warmer future.

Art and storytelling could be fundamental to that process, too. “We’ve all CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

been to workshops with managers and scientists, we’ve been on the ground, walking around on the ‘Craig Allen field trip,’” he says, referring to the USGS scientist who’s been studying the forests in the Jemez since the 1980s and is, hands-down, the expert on what’s happening here. Allen is also one of Haffey’s mentors. “Maybe we replace Craig in this picture with an artist, and we have different conversations and different questions from participants.”

He thinks that’s one way to move forward as a community, as scientists and as land managers—to integrate not just science, but also art and story into land management strategies. “I’m still looking for help on that,” he laughs.

Driving further, we crest a hill. Everything changes.

The hills are stripped bare. Looking out across tens of thousands of acres, every canyon, divot and lump on the landscape is visible. It’s like looking at a map online. Slide the cursor to the left to see the vegetation; slide it right to see the geology. Only this is real life, and I’m overlooking what used to be a ponderosa forest and now looks like the Guadalupe Mountains in West Texas.

“I’ve probably taken about 100 people out here,” Haffey says. “I never get used to the scale of this.” In the canyon below, we can make out the matchstick skeletons of ponderosas. “Those survived the Dome Fire,” he says. “Hand crews saved those stands.”

But then Las Conchas roared through.

Haffey talks about those wild initial days of the fire, which broke out at the end of June. “It was still burning at midnight, long after normal fire weather,” he says. “Las Conchas broke all the rules.

There were huge plumes blowing up, and then there’d be nothing to burn and the columns would collapse. It was like fluid dynamics more than fire.” Burning gases shot fireballs hundreds of feet into the air.

He describes seeing needles still on the trees right after the fire. They were flash-frozen, a grayish color. When the fire roared through the trees, it burned the windward side and created a back eddy on the leeward side, baking the needles rather than burning them.

Then we descend into the heart of darkness. We pass the spot where an abandoned campfire above Cochiti Canyon ignited the Dome Fire, then we park again.

Everyone takes their time looking across the canyons, scuffling through the sands and pointing out scat or flakes of obsidian.

In the canyon below, there are a handful of bighorn sheep.

The species had been extirpated from the area in the early 20th century. Biologists talked about relocating a population here earlier, but thanks to fire suppression and the dense forest that had grown up through the canyons, it wasn’t suitable habitat for the sheep. After Las Conchas, however, the New Mexico Department of CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Game and Fish moved Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep from the Wheeler Peak Wilderness to Cochiti Canyon.

Six years ago, we wouldn’t have been able to see more than a dozen feet ahead of us. Now, we look down the canyon, and hundreds of feet below the sheep peer up at us.

Then it’s off across a wide plain and up to St. Peter’s Dome. Today, the dome is a dusty knob on the eastern edge of the Jemez Mountains. In the Rio Grande Valley below, Cochiti Reservoir is visible. One side of the dome used to be covered with ponderosas and pines.

On its other flank, it would have been a mixed alligator juniper and piñon forest.

Now, after the Dome and Las Conchas fires, patchy grasses push through the tan soil and scrubby oaks rattle with last fall’s orangish-brown leaves.

“Historically, this was a frequent fire area,” Haffey explains, but it still would have been a pine forest. He didn’t live here before the Dome Fire, but from what he’s heard, this would have been a darker, more humid spot than it is today, when we’re gritty from the wind and dust. “We would be standing in the shadows, it would be hard to see through, crawl through.”

The biggest change since the Dome Fire, he says, was to those slopes miles to the west. “That was ponderosa as far as you can see.”

But he says that it’s pointless to feel depressed. It’s the first day of turkey season, and in addition to the hunters we’ve seen, there are three trucks parked on the dome, about 10 miles from the paved road, at the trailhead of a hike into Bandelier. While we’re eating lunch, two more guys pull up, hoping to get through the locked gate and fourwheel to the top of the dome. People talk about the weather, the view or ask for directions. Not one person we meet mentions the landscape or the fire scar.

There’s no returning the forest to what it once was, Haffey says. But the area can still be managed in a way that promotes a diversity of species. He and Sasha Stortz, from Northern Arizona University’s Landscape Conservation Initiative, talk about how some plac-

es out here still haven’t been surveyed or studied since Las Conchas and the floods and debris flows that wiped out fish populations. No one knows what might have come back since only bacteria and viruses likely survived.

“People say, ‘You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone,’” Stortz says, “but you also don’t know what you have until you know what was there before.”

Haffey nods and adds, “And you don’t know until you go and look.”

Someone who has gone back, way back, is USGS research ecologist Ellis Margolis. He wants to know not just where fires have burned, but how they burned. He also wants to know if Las Conchas really was an extraordinary fire for the Jemez, or if fires burned like that before suppression and before they were recorded in government reports and news stories.

“People say, ‘The trees will come back. They always have,’” he says.

“We’re digging in, to see.” There are multiple layers of evidence, including historical photos and written accounts, tree rings and fire scars and paleo-charcoal sediment records. “When you

Once you wipe out the seeds’ source, in a hotter environment, you can’t get those trees back into those areas.

-Ellis Margolis, research ecologist

smash all those together,” he says, “you can get a really good record of what’s going on in any one location.”

We’ve all pressed our fingers to tree rings, looking for the fat rings representing wet years and the slim lines showing when times were dry. Some trees also respond to summer and winter precipitation, explains Margolis.

Looking at those samples, dendrochronologists can gauge snowpack and the strength of the monsoons.

The Heart of Darkness By cross-dating tree ring samples, Margolis can tell the story of fire in the Jemez from the present day all the way back to the mid-1500s. He and his colleagues have even identified some samples from the 1100s. In that record, he’s been able to identify more than 100 fires. Most of those were low-severity fires, in ponderosa and mixed conifer forests.

The year 1664 was his favorite, he says: “It was burning through the whole year.

The monsoon was weak or shut down that year.” Another in 1729 had a huge footprint, likely bigger than the size of Las Conchas. And in 1752, a mid-summer fire burned just as big as Las Conchas, too, but was low-severity. In the following decades there were more; their scars fit together like a jigsaw puzzle on his map. Following a wet decade in the 1790s, a huge fire in 1801 burned about 300,000 acres. “There was fire all over the place,” he says. “That should be our goal, to get the good fire back in.”

So what about Las Conchas? Was it an uncharacteristic fire for the Jemez?

In the record, it’s not unusual to find fires bigger than 100,000 acres. But they were low-severity. Big fires burned in regular cycles, but they didn’t change the makeup of the forests.

“Once you wipe out the seeds’ source,” he says, “in a hotter environment, you can’t get those trees back into those areas, especially as it gets warmer and drier.”

In other words: No, those forests aren’t coming back.

After our goodbyes, I head back down the gravel road, past that patch of ponderosa pine that burned during Las Conchas.

Water bubbles up from the ground where the last of the snow patches are melting or little seeps emerge from the ground.

The air smells like vanilla and as the wind blows, it brushes through the green needles with a whisper.

I drive past the graduation flats and through the thickets of oak and locusts. At the turnoff to a road near Capulin Canyon, I park and start walking.

There’s a high whistle behind me, but even when I stop and turn, I can’t figure out where it’s coming from. It disappears by the time I cross an open patch of grass and come to a stand of a dozen live ponderosas. They’re maybe a hundred feet tall, their trunks mostly bare of live branches.

But their crowns are tufted with live green needles.

Everywhere else, there are waves of oak and walls of locust, punctured by the occasional charcoal-black trunks of pon-

These ponderosa pines survived Las Conchas, but new ponderosas aren’t sprouting here.

Instead, the lands are being overgrown with locust.

derosas poking up like tapered, burnedout candles. Some look like sewing needles, blue sky peeking through holes eroded through the tops. One trunk rises 50 or 60 feet. Most of it is scorched, but a little more than halfway up from the ground, there’s a chunk of brown wood still wrapped with bark. It’s like a marshmallow shoved too far down a roasting stick.

From the edge of Alamo Canyon, White Rock is visible over the lip of a ridge and the Sangre de Cristos still have snow on their peaks. Across the entire vista, ponderosa trunks lie on the ground, pointing downhill on both sides of the canyon. The town is spotted with white buildings and the mountains in the distance are blue and white. But everything else is brown or gray. Until I see, on the near flank of the canyon below, the light green fuzz of aspen saplings.

In the road cut, there’s coyote scat, and above, five or six turkey vultures circle, an ambassador occasionally breaking ranks to check me out. A pair of robins keep watch, and one nosey little bird—too far away to identify even with the camera’s zoom lens—follows, flitting from the top of one scorched snag to the next.

There’s also a red-tailed hawk and what looks like the peregrine we saw earlier in the day below St. Peter’s Dome.

Back at the truck, I realize my skin is coated with sand, and I hear that whistling sound again. It’s the wind from Capulin Canyon passing through the ponderosa skeletons.

This isn’t a forest anymore.

Tens of thousands of acres of forests are gone from the Jemez Mountains.

In our warming world, they won’t grow back, and the evidence of that was clear today.

Leaving the burn scar and heading toward Jemez Springs on Highway 4, I don’t relax into the landscape the way I thought I would. The forest looks too dark, too dense. I can’t imagine living within this thicket. Where the Jemez River chugs alongside the road and the canyon widens out, the slopes above the road are monotonously green, crowded with tall pines.

These probably aren’t the forests of our futures. And I finally, viscerally, understand what firefighters and land managers have been saying for decades: This forest is not sustainable in our warming world.

It took just one day in the burn scar to understand that.

Amazine Zines don’t die, they multiply In the days before the internet ruined our lives, fans of art, music, film and the general world of creativity and social issues would spend painstaking time and effort cutting and pasting their very own print products. These fanzines—or zines, if you will, which you should—covered pretty much anything one could dream up, and it was glorious. The form never actually went anywhere, yet the days of zine libraries in teen centers, mail-order ownership or trading have certainly decreased. Enter Santa Fe Zinefest, the brainchild of local writer/editor/zine creator Bucket Siler, and one of the most charmingly punk-rock things going down in Santa Fe this week.

“From what I’ve seen—and it’s been semi-documented—there was kind of a lull [for zines] when the internet first came around,” Siler tells SFR. “In my theory, though, there is that new generation of people who think print is really quaint and have discovered zines. I think it’s complicated, but over the last

three to five years there’s been a resurgence.”

Siler says something like 24 creators will table at the event and that she’d be hard-pressed to think of a topic that isn’t represented. Zine Fest also boasts young artists. Says Siler: “One of the questions on the registration was, ‘How long have you been making zines?’ and some were about a month or a year, and it goes all the way up to 20 years.”

Siler also encourages attendees to bring their own product for potential trade and sees bigger and better things for next year. “It’s not a profitable thing,” she says. “You kind of need to have a love of it or you have to care enough about it.” (Alex De Vore)

John

Don’t blame John Kurzweg for Creed

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

I

“

was always a musician,” John Kurzweg says. It’s a sunny afternoon and the performer/producer/singer-songwriter and I are sipping coffee and chatting for the first time ever, though we met once before years ago.

“When I was in high school, I dreamed of having some kind of multi-track [recorder],” he continues, “but they didn’t have those readily available back then.”

Kurzweg recalls he visited a professional studio in his hometown of Tallahassee, Florida, when he was about 16 and became fascinated. He would subsequently follow the development of portable recording devices through the audio-based magazines of the day and, by the time he was 20, he finally owned one. “It was the very first one that ever came out,” he says.

“And it changed everything.”

Audio engineering schools weren’t exactly abundant in Kurzweg’s youth in the ’80s, and he’d have to learn alone.

“I’d been one of those geeks who listened to records for hours and hours, over and over,” he explains. “I had this dumb idea that if you were the leader of a rock band, you were supposed to know how everything worked—I thought my favorite rock stars knew how all the music fit together, but I came to find later they didn’t have to know any of that.”

His borderline obsessive need to uncover the nuts and bolts of music paid off, however. By 1985, he was signed to Atlantic Records under the name John Philip (labels at the time didn’t jive with the name Kurzweg) and recording his debut, Wait For the Night with producer Ken Scott, the man behind David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust and an engineer for The Beatles. But this isn’t exactly a straightshot-to-success story.

“The record didn’t do anything,” says Kurzweg. “Back then, it was common to get a deal, do a record and wind up broker than you’d ever been in your life.”

He moved home from Los Angeles to Florida and continued his own forays into songwriting and recording until a friend, aware of his recording equipment, connected him with some no-name band looking to make an album. “We did it on cassette, because that’s all we had at the time,” Kurzweg reminisces. “Well, they took that cassette to the college radio station in Tallahassee, and after that my phone never stopped ringing.”

Kurzweg estimates he started picking up more production work than any of the nearby professional studios, partly because he had an ear for music, but also because he was cost-effective. “I found I could record drums in my garage in two minutes, and it often sounded better than what was coming out of the studios,” he says. “But even on my eight track, I had to really think, ‘OK, how are we gonna get all the tracks down for this song?’” Kurzweg followed in the footsteps of The Beatles and their longtime producer George Martin: Multiple tracks get dumped back onto one and the process gets repeated, meaning layers are indeed achievable but producers must be smart and economical.

His reputation as producer grew, and this was at the height of a music business model that really only existed for roughly 35 years; namely, one during which labels had money to burn and heavy-handed production was commonplace. “It took me 30 years to figure it out, and by the time I did, it was all gone,” Kurzweg recalls. “Everything I know about the record industry isn’t applicable anymore. …

On the one hand, the playing field is more level than it’s ever been—it’s just hard to wade through everything.”

Still, by the ’90s, Kurzweg was working for then-popular acts like Puddle of Mudd, Godsmack, Eagle-Eye Cherry and (gulp) Creed. Don’t blame him for the music, though—and keep in mind that those days in the music biz earned producers serious money.

“It’s funny,” he says. “The bands I ended up producing that were that kind of rock. There was this overlap where I could like it and get into it, but it wasn’t necessarily my kind of rock.” He says an article once referred to him being like a rock version of Backstreet Boys/*NSYNC creator Lou Pearlman, though he finds the comparison laughable. “They laid it out like I was part of some big corporate rock conspiracy,” he explains. “That was so funny to me.”

Creed, by the way, sold millions of records, but it was ultimately limiting to Kurzweg’s career. “You get typecast as a certain kind of producer, and I certainly was,” he says, “but I just never wanted to change the essence of who a band was. … downYou try to access the strengths and down play the weaknesses.”

These days, Kurzweg sticks mostly to his own music. He’s developed an easily listenable mid-tempo style, first honed while performing guitar with the Sean Healen Band and now on his own. “I was always more influenced by Americana muor folk music,” he says, “or acoustic mu sic, at least.” His band generally consists of a rotating cast of local musicians such Karias Peter Williams, Andy Primm, Kari na Wilson and others and, he says, it’s surprising if he plays more than once or twice a month. Kurzweg still dabbles in production, though nothing as intense as emohis previous work. “It’s a nice blend emo tionally to do a little bit of each,” he says.

“It probably comes from doing it forever and being fairly left-brained, but I think my whole journey, my whole life has been about how to become more rightbrained.”

The New Mexico Museum of Art’s newest curator brings fresh hues to the institution’s 20th century curatorial program

BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart

N

ot long after Christian Waguespack arrived at the New Mexico Museum of Art as the new curator of 20th-century art, he commissioned several enormous color swatches as part of a risky pitch.

Waguespack’s first project, an exhibition titled Imagining New Mexico, represents a fresh take on the past 100 years of New Mexico art and culture. He dug through the museum’s vast collection, dusting off long-hidden paintings, photographs and sculptures. In order to show these historic works in a new light, he chose vivid shades of red, yellow, turquoise and blue for the walls of the show.

“I had large panels painted the colors I wanted, and I held them up against the walls,” says Waguespack. “Then I made my saddest, most adorable puppy dog face.”

The new palette passed muster with Director Mary Kershaw, and now the museum’s Goodwin and Clark Galleries positively vibrate with color. Waguespack started his job this January, and he’s wasted no time adding a jolt of modern-day energy to the museum’s historic curatorial program. Imagining New Mexico debuted in early April, and it’s only the beginning of Waguespack’s mission to extract fresh narratives from well-worn local legends.

“For me, the idea was using the colors to conceptually bracket the different themes of the show,” says Waguespack.

He’s hustling through the Goodwin Gallery, a space with radiating niches that periodically house curator Merry Scully’s Alcove Shows, trying to stay ahead of a tour group led by a stern-eyed docent. “I can’t compete with the docents or they’ll beat me up,” he explains with a grin.

The exhibition opens with a striking bronze bust of Georgia O’Keeffe by Una Hanbury, which guards bright yellow walls featuring interpretations of New Mexico within the tradition of the arts. Fritz Scholder, Laura Gilpin, Todd Webb and others offer diverse depictions of New Mexico’s creative luminaries and their studios.

Across the room, bright red walls activate groups of artworks that explore different New Mexico traditions. One section contains fanciful portraits of cowboys; another features imagery of dance styles that were developed here; a third reveals religious iconography from the region. “Coming into this show, I didn’t buy that there’s one ‘authentic’ New Mexican identity,” says Waguespack. “I think it’s something that changes depending on the point of view you’re looking at, so I wanted to bring together as many different points of view as I possibly could.”

In the adjoining Clark Gallery, dazzling turquoise walls hold early- to mid-20th century New Mexico landscape paintings.

“People have always responded to the land here,” Waguespack tells SFR. “It’s cheesy but it’s true. It happened to me.”

Christian Waguespack showcases vibrant new colors in the New Mexico Museum of Art’s Goodwin Gallery.

Waguespack is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and drove to Albuquerque on a whim to visit a friend in 2007. “Being from Louisiana, I had never seen a mountain, I had never seen snow,” he says. He quit his job and moved to Albuquerque, where he got his BFA (in studio art and art history) and his MFA (in museum studies) at the University of New Mexico.

In his time at UNM, Waguespack interned and then worked at the UNM Art Museum. He curated an exhibition of Latin American photography there, which was a big breakthrough in his curatorial process. Anthropologists, Latin American scholars and a Guatemalan poet all contributed their voices to the wall text of the show. “It was particularly important for a show that was so much about place and identity that is not mine,” Waguespack says. “I’m not Latin American, so I could contribute the art history part, but we had to go somewhere else for more depth.”

After about seven years in New Mexico, Waguespack moved to Tucson for a little

over a year to earn his doctorate in art history from the University of Arizona. His current job brought him back to the Land of Enchantment, and though he’d worked with historic New Mexico art in his time at UNM, he was a bit nervous.

“I’ve never lived in Santa Fe. Coming here brand-new, I’m expected to tell Santa Feans about their own history,” he says.

He’s found that because the city has been an artistic hub for so long, locals are excited to discover new corners of this complex past. “It was an insane hive,” he says.

“If I had to draw a diagram, it would look like a dandelion.” Waguespack has also worked on a retrospective for New Mexico modernist Cady Wells in his time at the museum, and is starting preparations for the museum’s centennial exhibition this November.

I’m a happily married straight man. My wife, who is 33 years old, cannot orgasm through intercourse since we had our last child. Her explanation is that she has this constant sensation to pee. Now we find other means to please her through toys, oral, etc. Are there exercises or other means to get her to climax through intercourse? Is this common from childbirth?

-Climaxing Liberally Is Fun “Failure to orgasm with penile penetration is not a medical condition,” said Dr. Jennifer Gunter, an ob-gyn, writer (drjengunter.wordpress.com), and kick-ass tweeter who practices in the San Francisco Bay Area. “If a woman can orgasm with other methods—oral sex or masturbation or toys—then that means everything is working just fine. Remember, it’s not how she gets to the party that matters, it’s that she got to attend the party.”

As all straight men need to be aware, CLIF, only a small number of women—less than a quarter—can get off from vaginal intercourse alone, aka PIV. “Most women require clitoral stimulation to have an orgasm, and often the mechanics of penile penetration just don’t produce the right kind of friction,” said Dr. Gunter. “It’s possible that the subtle anatomical changes post-childbirth have altered the friction mechanics of your coupling. Introducing a vibrator during sex might help.”

And while we’re on the subject of clits, CLIF… We abbreviate sign-offs around here, as everyone knows, and like PIV for your wife, CLIF, your sign-off didn’t quite get you there.

You could’ve gone with “Climaxing Liberally Is Terrific” or “Tremendous” or “Totally Spectacular,” but you didn’t. Perhaps it was an innocent brain fart—perhaps I’m reading too much into this— but if you didn’t spot the near-CLIT staring you in the face in your sign-off, CLIF, it seems possible that you may have overlooked your wife’s clit, too. Also possible: Your wife wasn’t actually having orgasms “through intercourse” before she gave birth to your last child. You’re clearly invested in climaxing together—just like in the movies and porn and other fictions—and your wife, like many women, may have been faking orgasms to please a male partner. Tired of faking orgasms, your wife seized on the birth of your last child to explain why she “suddenly” couldn’t come from PIV alone anymore.

What about your wife’s constant sensation to pee during intercourse?

“That’s something to be looked at,” Dr. Gunter said. “After childbirth (and sometimes just with age), women can develop an overactive bladder or pelvic-muscle issues, and these could be exacerbated during penetration, making a woman feel as if she needs to empty her bladder. Worrying about peeing during sex might be holding her back. It might be worth a visit to a pelvic floor physical therapist and/ or a urogynecologist if this sensation to pee during sex is bothering her. But if neither the lack of orgasm with penile penetration nor the urgency to pee is bothering her, and she is having orgasms other ways and is happy with that, I would be happy with it, too. After all, it’s her orgasm, and stress or pressure to orgasm a particular way might negatively affect her party.”

Follow Dr. Gunter on Twitter @DrJenGunter.

Do it: She’s amazing and hilarious, and she kicks right-wing, anti-choice, sex-negative ass up and down Twitter on a daily basis.

I’m a 29-year-old man who desires a monogamous relationship. I’m currently in an LTR with a 29-year-old woman. Despite my feelings about monogamy, I’ve sought attention from women and men on dating apps. I’ve gotten caught doing this more than once. I have never met up with anyone in real life, and my girlfriend has yet to find out about the use of gay dating apps.

After some soul-searching, I realized that my bisexuality is a huge issue in our relationship.

I’ve never discussed it with her, and while I don’t think she would react negatively, I’m scared of how it would affect our relationship. I’m not sure whether to go to therapy, bring it up with my girlfriend, or do some combination of the two. I’d love some advice about having this discussion in a way that won’t end my relationship.

I’m not really interested in an open relationship, and I would like to stay with my girlfriend, but I’m confused because I don’t know if a monogamous relationship will still be what I want once I open up about my sexuality. It seems like a no-win situation—stay in the closet and no one knows but I keep wanting outside attention, or tell her the real reason I’ve used dating apps and probably lose the relationship.

-Bisexual Reeling About Closeted Ethical Dilemma The use of gay dating apps isn’t the issue— it’s your use of them. And while I’m nitpicking: It’s not “outside attention” you want, BRACED, it’s cock.

Backing way the hell up: Lots of partnered people—even contentedly monogamous people—dink around on dating apps for the attention, for the ego boost, for the spank bank. Fakes and flakes annoy the people who are looking for actual dates on those apps, of course, but apps are the new pick-up bars, and partnered people were strolling into pick-up bars to harmlessly flirt with strangers before heading home to their mates, all charged up, long before apps came along. The dangers and temptations of app-facilitated flirtations are greater, of course, because unlike the person you briefly flirted with in a bar, the person you flirted with on an app can find you again—hell, they come home with you, in your pocket, and you can easily reconnect with them later.

But the real issue here isn’t apps or flirting along the harmless/dangerous spectrum, BRACED, it’s closets—specifically, the one you’re in. The closet is a miserable place to be, as you know, and the only relevant question is whether you can spend the rest of your life in there. If the answer is no—and it sure sounds like it’s no (you sound miserable)—then you’ll have to come out to your girlfriend. If you don’t think monogamy will be right for you once you’re out, then monogamy may not be right for you period. Find yourself a queer-positive therapist, come out to your GF with their help, and allow her to make an informed choice about whether she wants to be with you. Worry less about the right words, BRACED, and more about the truthful ones.

A woman recently wrote to you that her husband could not maintain an erection for “more than a few thrusts.” She said that Viagra is of no use to them (the drug gave him headaches) and she was contemplating the pursuit of sexual affairs with other men who could better serve her needs (with her husband’s permission).

No need for me to rehash what you told her. I want to call your attention to a better solution to their quandary: Any competent urologist can write a prescription for a preparation known as Trimix (phentolamine, papaverine, and prostaglandin, in various strengths), which must be supplied by a compounding pharmacy. Or failing that prescription, then alternatively one for a brand-name drug called Caverject. Both of these preparations are injected directly into the penis—into the corpora cavernosa, to be specific—and both effectively enable an erection of prodigious size and stiffness that will endure for as much as six hours.

-Potential Alternate Solution Sidesteps Infidelities’ Obvious Negatives Thanks for sharing, PASSION. And to guys out there with erectile dysfunction: Ask your doctor if Caverject is right for you?

COURTESY BRUCE DUNLAP

Anyone who’s anyone has certainly heard of GiG Performance Space (1808 Second St.) and its founder, Bruce Dunlap. A guitarist of the highest order, Dunlap has hosted well over a thousand shows at GiG during its 12-year run and, with the upcoming GiG Inadvertent Festival (7:30 pm nightly Thursday-Sunday and Tuesday, May 25-May 28 and 30, $20), he adds even more nights of unique live music to the cultural landscape.

Performances include folk songstress Cindy Kallet (May 25), jazz-funk collective Progger (May 28) and others.

We like Dunlap’s style (and also his hat), so we asked him what’s up and what the future might hold. (Alex De Vore) What do you hope to accomplish with these five days of music?

It was a festival that just sort of booked itself while I wasn’t looking. That is, five of our favorite artists decided to converge on GiG during that week, and the caliber and diversity of the music was so appealing, we thought it would be a really fun, immersive experience for people. We hope that the exposure to so many different kinds of music over such a short period will be inspiring and broaden people’s interests.

If someone can only attend one of the nights, what might you recommend?

I can’t really answer this well. The idea of the festival is to broaden people’s musical perspectives by seeing lots of different kinds of music. To attend one evening, I suggest listening to all the groups at gigsantafe.com and picking your favorite or favorites to attend.

What’s in store for GiG in the future?

Well, ours is not a growth model, but perhaps one of simple consistency. The community seems to love what we do and we find that rewarding. That said, I always have an eye out for a slightly larger space where we could practice different varieties of mischief.

ACTING OUT Think Globally, Communicate Locally According to the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma at Columbia University, embedded correspondents experience PTSD symptoms at an alarming rate—some studies found that up to a third of journalists covering conflict were

hen you take a photograph, time stands still.

When you experience trauma, time stands still.

When you die, we can only guess time stands still. And when you look at the United States’ history of international conflict, it seems like we are right where we have always been—time is standing still.

This is only scratching the surface of themes explored in Time Stands Still, opening this weekend at the Adobe Rose Theatre. The story follows Sarah, a photo-journalist formerly embedded in a conflict zone, now home with her journalist boyfriend James as she recovers from injuries sustained while on assignment. Their jobs revolve around communicating with the public, but they’re suddenly unable to communicate with each other. Their friend Richard, also in the news industry, enters with stars in his eyes for his much younger girlfriend Mandy.

While this is still a very new play (it debuted in Los Angeles in 2009), playwright Donald Margulies recognized the potential for dramatic and swift changes in US foreign policy. Accordingly, say the ART actors, in his script notes Margulies offers companies the opportunity to adapt the conflict location to suit current events, ensuring that the play will always be relevant. It originally features Sarah fresh home from Iraq, but the ART team, under the direction of Catherine Lynch, has placed the conflict in Syria.

affected. It is their job not to look away.

The cast, as part of their research, picked the brains of journalists and members of the military. Cast member and ART Artistic Director Maureen Joyce McKenna describes one of these meetings with a photographer: “I asked, ‘Weren’t you terrified?’ And she said, ‘No, I felt totally safe,’” McKenna recalls. “’I wasn’t there. The camera was there.’”

That level of detachment may be vital in a Humvee, but it doesn’t serve you once you’re stateside. Sarah, portrayed

by McKenna, and James (Kevin Kilner, a seasoned stage and film actor who nonetheless admits this challenging play “scares the crap out of” him; “This play is like Everest”), explore these intricacies.

But, of course, there are greater political issues at play. “There’s something about being a woman in a man’s world,” McKenna says. “There aren’t very many women that are embedded photojournalists. My character has made a commitment to telling the stories of women and children who are just the flotsam and jetsam in this whole process. … It’s something that that deeply drew me to the role, because there are voices that are just not heard.”

Alexandra Renzo, as breezy Mandy,

acknowledges that it’s easy to see her character as a pesky, sunshiney gnat buzzing around bigger issues. “Archetypically, she’s the child who asks the most devastating questions in the simplest of forms,” Kilner says of the character.

But Renzo asks the audience not to dismiss Mandy and, in doing so, not to dismiss lightheartedness. When asked what she brings from her own life to the stage, Renzo cites her father, a civil rights lawyer. “He forever sought justice in this very intense way,” she says. But then he was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. “He once saw a healer,” she continues. “The healer said, ‘The pancreas is where you feel joy. You haven’t felt a lot of joy in your life, have you?’ … That moment changed me in a lot of ways.” She pauses. “So I seek joy, and trivial things, and I love simplicity and quiet moments and laughing. I think there’s something really beautiful in that. And Mandy wishes that for people.”

David Sinkus, whose character Richard is perhaps looking to leave the print industry, can relate. Sinkus and his wife, after having children and after living in New York on Sept. 11, 2001, decided to leave the city for New Mexico. “I had my focus changed toward my family, and to raise them to possibly change the world.”

He sees in Richard that shift—from career to family, from personal greatness to greater good.

So, that’s all very heavy, yes. But the audience should not expect nights full of weeping and fist-banging. There is tons of humor in the show—gallows humor, of course, because that’s what journalists do best. Plus, “the incongruity of an innocent coming up against people who have seen such horror is funny, in many ways,” Kilner says.

To ask what we can do for those in places like Iraq or Syria feels like too big a question. Not everyone can be expected to jump into the fray, shutter clicking. “Like all great playwrights,” Kilner says of Margulies, “he challenges you to get involved, and to walk out with more questions than answers.”

Asking how we, as individuals, can change the world may be too much. But something small can be immediately done: Consider a conversation. Think.

Watch. Listen to others. And, at the end of the day, if you feel you truly communicated with the person next to you, that is the first step to understanding the world at large.

TIME STANDS STILL

Maureen Joyce McKenna and Kevin Kilner are Sarah and James in Time Stands Still, in which professional communicators struggle to communicate.

Goliath is about 3 years old, purrs when we pet him and is really gentle when we handle him. He would do best in a home without young children or lots of activity. In his ideal home Goliath would live with adults, have lots of hiding places and be kept indoors only to prevent him from running away. If you consider yourself a “cat person” Goliath may just win over your heart.

FOOD

MARTÍN RIOS DOESN’T LIKE KALE But he is literally one of the region’s best chefs

BY MICHAEL J WILSON t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

O

n May 1, the James Beard Foundation met in Chicago to hand out its annual awards. Hosted by actor and Albuquerque native Jesse Tyler Ferguson (of Modern Family), the awards are to American food what the Oscars are to film. That night, sitting in the audience at the Lyric Opera, was Santa Fe’s own Martin Rios of Restaurant Martín (526 Galisteo St., 820-0919). He didn’t take home the prize, but this is his seventh nomination for the foundation’s Best Chef award for the Southwest region, and second time as a finalist. Just after it opened, Restaurant Martín itself was also nominated as Best New Restaurant.

The New American fine dining mainstay is celebrating its eighth year. In honor of these achievements, I decided to check in and see what it takes to be a nationally recognized chef from the City Different.

SFR: How difficult is it to establish and maintain a successful restaurant in Santa Fe? Chef Rios: Very! It takes a tremendous amount of dedication, understanding customers’ needs, comprehension of this seasonal market and working nonstop.

You have been nominated for several JBF awards. What do you think you do that sets you apart from other chefs in the region?

Since we opened Restaurant Martín in 2009, we have had eight James Beard nominations. The first was for Best New Restaurant in the US and the next seven have been for the Best Chef of the Southwest. What sets me apart is how much I focus on growing and trying to be bet-

ter each day than the day before. I never rest on my laurels and I never feel like my work is done. Every day I spend hours researching my field and improving myself and my restaurant.

Being from Santa Fe, what obligations do you feel you have to this region’s culture and heritage in your cooking?

The only obligations with my food are to classic techniques at the core of my cuisine. I enjoy using native ingredients, but not in classical ways, per se. For example, I recently had blue corn crepes as part of my venison appetizer. I feel if you know the basics of cooking, you can go anywhere with your cuisine.

You sponsor the Horse Shelter and give back in many other ways to the community. What is the importance of giving back?

The importance of giving back is to be good citizens and contributing members of our community. These are important traits to us in raising our children and we can’t imagine not living this way. The Horse Shelter was started by my wife’s mother, and when she passed away prematurely, Jennifer became president of the board.

Restaurant Martín donates a tremendous amount to the shelter and is very pleased to be partnered with such a worthwhile organization. Check out the upcoming fundraiser on Sunday May 21—we will be doing the luncheon for with our friends from The Ranch House. Tickets are available at thehorseshelter.org.

Chef Martin Rios and his wife Jennifer, circa 2015, the last time Rios was up for a James Beard Foundation award.

What trends and themes do you see happening that excite you in cuisine today?

The simplification of dishes. Some chefs are using fewer ingredients in every plate they design, kind of a back-to-basics approach. I find this exciting because it is actually more challenging to make an impressive dish with fewer ingredients than with many ingredients.

Are there ingredients you won’t work with? Flavors you don’t like but others do?

I don’t work with foie gras or veal anymore. I have tried to incorporate an ethical approach to my ingredient selection into my menu. I don’t like kale—the flavor or the texture—so you won’t find it on my menus despite its current popularity.

Being a chef has become a high-profile occupation. What do you make of celebrity chefs? Does it make the industry harder to navigate? Change customer expectations?

I think the trend of celebrity chefs has been good for the culinary field because it has raised the level of respect for the profession and the field in general. I don’t think it has made the industry harder to navigate, but it has put a lot of people in the field who are looking for instant fame and don’t really know how to work as hard as you have to [in order] to be successful.

It has changed customer expectations. People think of chefs as celebrities and have raised the bar on what they expect to receive each time they dine in a chef-driven restaurant.

Culinary arts seem to get ignored in education. Why do you think this is?

I’ve been a chef with the local Cooking with Kids program since it began, so I do see culinary arts being introduced at the lower grade level. I do, however, think that for young children, cooking at home is a great introduction, but school should be focused on learning and education. Career options can be introduced later.

What are you passionate about outside of the kitchen? Does this bring anything to your plates?

I’m passionate about gardening and growing edibles. Obviously the edibles bring something to my plates as I use them in almost every dish I create.

What is your guilty-pleasure food?

Nachos, tortilla chips and salsa, and butter pecan ice cream (not all together!).

Dead Awake Review

Don’t move a muscle

BEST MOVIE EVER

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

Final Destination scribe Jeffrey Reddick returns to his horror roots with 2016’s Dead Awake, a wildly mediocre look at laughably archaic explanations surrounding sleep paralysis played out in the modern day. Many suffer from the real-life condition, which finds them unable to move upon waking; at some point in history, people decided that, obviously, demons and/or hags were sitting on their chests, probably choking them to death.

Turns out it’s real—so long as you believe—and young Kate is one such believer. A recovering addict (played by Jocelin Donahue, whom we promise you don’t know), Kate keeps a detailed dream journal of her experiences with the sleep demon/hag. She reaches out for help, but no one believes her because, y’know, apparently addicts don’t deserve compassion. Even her twin sister Beth (also played by Donahue) and man-bunned, hipster-artist boyfriend (Jesse Bradford) won’t take her side, and after Tank Girl herself (Lori

Petty) makes an appearance as some heartless sleep doctor who just won’t heed the warning signs because she’s a medical doctor and c’mon already, it’s generally agreed that Kate is probably just hallucinating.

But, of course, she’s not, and the demon starts visiting basically anyone and everyone it can.

Fueled by the evil version of faith, it kills people because it likes to, or something … it’s never made clear, and the vast majority of Dead Awake finds Donahue making “I’m scared!” faces and trying to stay awake like some boring version of Nightmare on Elm Street, while various no-name over-actors enter her orbit just long enough to be bad at movies.

Unless your name is Guillermo del Toro and you’ve worked out how to design terrifying monsters worth seeing onscreen, the concept of lessis-more should be the ultimate rule in certain types of horror films. Nothing is scarier than the thing you haven’t seen yet, and the more Dead Awake wears on, the less scary it becomes. In fact, we kinda started rooting for the demon.

DEAD AWAKE Directed by Phillip Guzman With Donahue, Bradford and Petty Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 99 min.

NORMAN

+ HEAVY ON THE INTRIGUE AND BULLSHITTERY

- DRAGS FOR NEARLY TWO HOURS

Norman Oppenheimer might have the same last name as SantaFamous philanthropists and the guy who gets the credit for facilitating the atomic bomb up there in Los Alamos, but his life apparently had fewer headline accomplishments. That’s not to say that this ass-kissy and handsy fellow, part stalker and part detective, has not accomplished plenty.

He spends all day cold-calling, hot-calling and otherwise pestering a smattering of his vast network of his New York Jewish friends to trade favors in this film originally subtitled the muchmore-descriptive The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer.

Richard Gere (The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) sheds any hint of his heartthrob calling card to don the role of not just a pathetic schmooze, but a pained loner who is either really good at making connections or really bad at it. He’s pushy when he needs to be, quiet and captivating when he needs that instead—yet Oppenheimer’s matchmaking is still flawed.

When he befriends a rising star in the Israeli political sphere (a chiseled and poised delivery

+ SO FUN, SO FUNNY, SO COOL - NOT AS IMPACTFUL AS THE FIRST FILM

In a sea of ultra-serious films based on comic books, melodrama fatigue becomes a serious concern. Thank goodness then for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, another excellent outing for the lesser-known Marvel heroes and one of the most incredibly fun franchises currently hitting theaters.

Once again, we join Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) and Groot (now in baby form but still voiced by Vin Diesel) as they unwittingly get swept up into the collective role of galactic saviors.

If you can’t see the fun in a talking raccoon blasting fools alongside his sentient sapling buddy, then we just, like, feel really sorry for you.

RICHARD LIOR HANK STEVE CHARLOTTE MICHAEL DAN JOSH GERE ASHKENAZI AZARIA BUSCEMI GAINSBOURG SHEEN STEVENS CHARLES

When Quill’s father Ego (an excellent Kurt Russell) finally tracks him down after 30-plus years of searching, the humorous hero learns of his origins and—get this—they are dubious.

Turns out his dad’s a god (“With a little ‘g,’” Ego says) with nefarious intentions, and the Guardians must step in to set him straight.

Of course, the two-pronged approach of slapstick antics and absolutely killer soundtrack are the real draw here, but Guardians also manages to drive home some fairly heavy material on the topics of family drama, friendship and, almost surprisingly, love—though never in a way as silly as the overarching plot would lead us to believe.

There are, in fact, some downright moving scenes shared between Quill and his sorta-kinda adoptive father Yondu (an exceedingly fun Michael Rooker). And all the while, great tunes from the likes of Looking Glass, Cat Stevens and ELO blare through the speakers through firefights and space battles, gravity-defying Pac-Man references and, gleefully, the reveal of the fate of one Howard the Duck.

Writer and director James Gunn absolutely nails the tone, and even when things become borderline too-serious, he knows just how to pull it out and make us laugh. Throw in exciting-yet-brief appearances from heavyweights like Michelle Yeoh and Sylvester Stallone, and we’ve got what may be the perfect summer movie; the opening dance sequence alone is worth the price of admission. (Alex De Vore) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 136 min.

HOUNDS OF LOVE

4

+ ACCOMPLISHED GOAL OF BEING UNSETTLING

- GRATUITOUS SEXUAL VIOLENCE

Whispered horror stories about what happens when angsty teen girls get into cars with strangers become harrowing, vivid screams in this Australian work of fiction.

While a long setup with extreme closeups of ordinary actions and mundane objects coming in and out of focus sets the suspenseful scene, Hounds of Love quickly moves into a nail-bitter that had us looking away more than once.

There’s a sickly electric energy between partners Evelyn (Emma Booth of Gods of Egypt) and John (Stephen Curry of a bunch of Aussie television shows you’ve never heard of), and it’s just a touchstone for their shared penchant to capture and torture young women on the suburban streets. Evelyn’s disarming

charm puts the girls at ease—the last time they’ll ever feel that way.

We’re more than squeamish about the way the story gratuitously rolls around in all the stereotypes of rape culture. The teen victims wear short shorts and school uniform skirts.

John is a skinny pervy-looking guy with a mustache. Evelyn’s a mousy, pained soul with a need for power. The presentation is graphic enough to burn into memory even after the credits are over. That squinty stare into a dark, dark realm is intended to be unsettling—and it accomplishes that goal.

Young Saudi-born actress Ashleigh Cummings won an award at the Venice International Film Festival last September for her portrayal of teenaged Vicki, and it’s a well-deserved accolade, as she’s all in for this challenging part in the piece written and directed by Ben Young.

The teen quickly realizes her only chance for survival is to break through to Evelyn—her captor who is, in many ways, a captive herself.

Hold your breath for the possibility of a glimmer of empowerment. If the movie poster isn’t enough of a trigger warning, let us warn viewers that the film doesn’t just hint at sexual violence and emotional abuse.

Oh, and there’s a dog, too. (JAG) Jean Cocteau Cinema, R, 108 min.

RISK

+ EYE-OPENING AND RIVETING - SO DEPRESSING

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange remains a calculated mystery, even after filmmaker Laura Poitras’ eye-opening documentary Risk, a grim look at the man himself covering Wikileaks’ rise to prominence before Assange’s descent to Ecuadorian political asylum-seeker.

Poitras is best known for Citizenfour, a similar documentary about NSA leaker Edward Snowden from 2014. That film was somewhat sympathetic; in Risk, however, the controversy surrounding Assange almost takes a backseat to his presence as public figure, changing the story Poitras set out to tell. It morphs from First Amendment freedoms and Assange’s role as a blurred-lines sometimes-hero into a rather bleak exposé on id and ego, the terrifying power and reach of the internet and a singular man seemingly lost in unattainable ideals and self-imposed loneliness who now hides behind the concepts of free will, free information and CONTINUED ON PAGE 41

Fairly warned be ye say we: Hounds of Love is fucked up.

transparent government.

Following 2010 allegations of sexual assault that found Sweden attempting to extradite Assange from the UK, it becomes unclear whether the US is just trying to make way, in turn, for their own extradition of Assange from Sweden.

Regardless, his glib demeanor in the face of the charges doesn’t do him any favors. Could this be where he begins to lose Poitras?

Assange seems subsequently paranoid, a once-mighty icon to the hacking, radical and even liberal communities toppled from his throne of reproach. Of course, Trump singing his praises during the 2016 election didn’t much help him with image. And anyway, Assange seems alternately brave in a painfully idealistic, misguided sense, and all too happy to let the leakers who use his platform (such as the now-commuted former army private Chelsea Manning, who served seven years in prison for leaking classified intel) face the consequences while he dyes his hair and hides out, all the while espousing the sanctity of freedom.

Wherever one might land in regards to Wikileaks and its founder, Poitras provides a heretofore-unseen window into their inner-workings. Just don’t be surprised if Assange can’t live up to his own hype. He is, after all, human. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 94 min.

portside puffer who keeps the mouse population under control and beyond, the brief windows into the lives of cats come together to prove one thing: Cats are beloved in Istanbul.

Through this, Kedi sneakily becomes perhaps more about the humans in the cats’ lives rather than the opposite. A sailor, for instance, who once lost everything but was saved by a cat who led him to a hidden cache of money, spends his days roaming the port feeding feral kittens with a bottle. Elsewhere, a baker forms an unlikely alliance with a cat who unwittingly gives his life meaning beyond his work. In a nearby home packed to the rafters with countless strays, two women cook for and feed dozens of street cats daily.

Even those who aren’t in love with these fascinating creatures will find a captivating human story here. And rather than linger on the more cutesy aspects of felines, Kedi instead proves an inspiring treatise on the enriching aspects of animals and a satisfying glimpse into the beauty of the city itself. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, Violet Crown, NR, 80 min.

+ NOT JUST FOR CAT LOVERS - COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER

The camera moves along the ancient streets of Istanbul, following a particularly adorable orange cat. Diners at streetside cafés hand over treats.

Passersby respectfully step around her. Nearby, a clever striped fellow scales a three-story building to visit a human friend in her apartment. At an outdoor flea market across town, young and old cats alike sleep amongst the wares. The camera pans along the port and cranes up over the gorgeous Golden Horn, revealing the massive labyrinth of a city. This is Kedi, a new documentary on the street cats of Istanbul from director Ceyda Torun, and it is awe-inspiring.

We follow the seemingly ordinary lives of various cats who live throughout the sprawling Turkish metropolis on the sea. From a rather polite comrade who haunts a deli patio (but is never so rude as to go inside), a beat-up old tabby who rules her perceived turf with an iron paw, a

This wonderful cat was found injured by a good Samaritan who took him to the SFAS with the hope that someone was looking for him. He was subsequently placed into a new home, but it was only a street away from where he was originally rescued, so he kept returning to that location. CRUZ was surrendered to F&F for placement in another area of Santa Fe. TEMPERAMENT: CRUZ is laid back and social, but may not be a good match for a home with another dominant cat. CRUZ is a handsome boy with a short grey and white tuxedo coat.

AGE: Born approx. 2/5/15. City of Santa Fe Permit #17-004.

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of May 17th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) “A two-year-old kid is like using a blender, but you don’t have a top for it,” said comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Would you like to avoid a scenario like that, Aries? Would you prefer not to see what happens if your life has resemblances to turning on a topless blender that’s full of ingredients? Yes? Then please find the top and put it on! And if you can’t locate the proper top, use a dinner plate or newspaper or pizza box. OK? It’s not too late. Even if the blender is already spewing almond milk and banana fragments and protein powder all over the ceiling. Better late than never!

descriptions will be useful for you to contemplate in the near future. It was centered on what he called the “wild ass,” which we might refer to as an undomesticated donkey. Leonardo said that this beast, “going to the fountain to drink and finding the water muddy, is never too thirsty to wait until it becomes clear before satisfying himself.” That’s a useful fable to contemplate, Libra. Be patient as you go in search of what’s pure and clean and good for you. (The translation from the Italian is by Oliver Evans.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) My pregnant friend Myrna is determined to avoid giving birth via Caesarean section. She believes that the best way for her son to enter the world is by him doing the hard work of squeezing through the narrow birth canal. That struggle will fortify his willpower and mobilize him to summon equally strenuous efforts in response to future challenges. It’s an interesting theory. I suggest you consider it as you contemplate how you’re going to get yourself reborn.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) I invite you to try the following meditation: Picture yourself filling garbage bags with stuff that reminds you of what you used to be and don’t want to be any more. Add anything that feels like decrepit emotional baggage or that serves as a worn-out psychological crutch. When you’ve gathered up all the props and accessories that demoralize you, imagine yourself going to a beach where you build a big bonfire and hurl your mess into the flames. As you dance around the conflagration, exorcise the voices in your head that tell you boring stories about yourself. Sing songs that have as much power to relieve and release you as a spectacular orgasm.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) My friend Allie works as a matchmaker. She has an instinctive skill at reading the potential chemistry between people. One of her key strategies is to urge her clients to write mission statements. “What would your ideal marriage look like?” she asks them. Once they have clarified what they want, the process of finding a mate seems to become easier and more fun. In accordance with the astrological omens, Scorpio, I suggest you try this exercise—even if you are already in a committed relationship. It’s an excellent time to get very specific about the inspired togetherness you’re willing to work hard to create.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) In ancient Greek myth, Tiresias was a prophet who could draw useful revelations by interpreting the singing of birds. Spirits of the dead helped him devise his prognostications, too. He was in constant demand for revelations about the future.

But his greatest claim to fame was the fact that a goddess magically transformed him into a woman for seven years. After that, he could speak with authority about how both genders experienced the world. This enhanced his wisdom immeasurably, adding to his oracular power. Are you interested in a less drastic but CANCER (June 21-July 22) In normal times, your guard- highly educational lesson, Sagittarius?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) I predict that you won’t be bitten by a dog or embarrassed by a stain or pounced on LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Lady Jane Grey was crowned Queen of England in July 1553, but she ruled for just nine by a lawyer. Nor will you lose your keys or get yelled at days before being deposed. I invite you to think back to a by a friend or oversleep for a big appointment. On the contrary!
