The rhetoric of Trujillo and his vitriolic group have no place in Santa Fe. ... Trujillo should stop his attacks—and ensure his supporters also maintain a respectful tone. ... It is hard to speak up about sexual harassment in the face of political power and personal attacks. As an elected official, he is sending a message that when women speak up for themselves, they should expect political leaders to attack them and their supporters to begin nasty personal attacks. Respecting women should not come second to protecting your own political position.

CLAYTOONS, MAY 16: I was appalled to see the hateful, anti-Semitic [Clay Jones] cartoon in your paper.

Would any country stand by and watch armed terrorists that are launched to kill and maim as Hamas has continued to do to innocent Israelis? Who’s at fault here?

Hamas! They tell women, children, and the disabled to approach the fence in the first “wave” of human shields. Right behind them are Hamas terrorist operatives with Molotov cocktails, grenades, IEDs, and guns attempting to break through the internationally recognized border fence—which, by the way, is 30-50 meters inside of Israel.

Who’s the real bully here? Hamas. It isn’t Netanyahu, or the location of our embassy.

The Reporter was duped by Hamas and Clayton’s incoherent diatribe. I feel compassion for the Gazans. Yet any clear-eyed person can recognize that, sadly, Hamas has put its hatred for Israel above the safety and welfare of its own citizens.

Below: The city closed the fields for a year and a half in an effort to fix drainage issues.

Free Kick Santa Fe soccer supporters think the city has a shot at winning tournament business

s Santa Fe basks in the moisture brought by its first real spring rains, several thousand soccer players across the city wonder what the five fields at the Municipal Recreation Complex will look like.

They know what the precious patches of green grass off Caja Del Rio Road used to look like after a storm: Something resembling a series of shallow ponds that quickly evolved into a sort of muddy primordial ooze. Eager players would rush to the fields too soon after rain. With even a little rain pooled on the playing surface, they’d quickly get muddy. The goalmouths, where a fair bit of frantic action (or pacing) tends to take place, got especially churned up.

Local state legislators went after a hard-won $500,000 in capital outlay money from the state to close down the playing fields, fix the drainage issues and help maintain optimal playing conditions. That work began in 2016.

“They’re getting in good shape, compared with the last two or three years,” says Peta Bernal, who runs the city’s adult soccer league that started last week. Gone are the permanent goalposts, replaced by four sets of new, movable ones. The priority this season is making sure the improvements take hold.

The adult soccer league has 16 teams and plays all day on Sundays. The start of summer youth soccer isn’t far behind, so for the time being, the adult league is only using half the fields. In a few weeks, it will switch to the closed half and let the fields used now rest and recover. In the fall, the season starts for La Liga—a local league named with a nod to the Spanish major soccer league—as well as for high school soccer. Five fields might sound like a lot, but they take a beating.

A group of soccer enthusiasts is asking the city to let it manage maintenance.

“What we bring to the table is we know soccer,” Nic Smith tells SFR. He’s the president of the group called Santa Fe Soccer Complex and also runs the Rio Rapids Northern Soccer Club. “We know when the fields need repair, we know how they need to be lined, we know they need to be rested, to take care of them in that way. It’s a pretty scarce resource, having five fields with the amount of play that they get. It’s going to take some careful management to stop it from going back [to the condition it was before repair].”

The city seems receptive to the maintenance deal and it’s similar, at least in theory, to the Railyard Stewards agreement for care of the downtown space off Guadalupe Street.

Smith and his group are hoping for more. Another $500,000 from the city would match a pledge from the county and potentially turn the fields into a fullfledged soccer complex with nine different fields, lights, bathroom buildings and room to grow past that. Smith says that kind of facility would attract tournaments. He already has an organizer from Casa Grande, Arizona—“Know where that is? No? Exactly.”—interested in moving a tournament here and thinks it wouldn’t take much to get at least one more.

The City Council balked at a similar request this past winter, before three new councilors and new mayor took office.

The funding is on its capital improvement projects list, which is a non-binding

declaration of the city’s intent for public works spending. The idea has been kicked around for at least a couple years.

“When you’re trying to weigh the needs of the city, it’s easy to put something like this on the back burner,” District 3 City Councilor Chris Rivera tells SFR. “I understand that. But it’s been on the back burner for a couple of years.”

Rivera says there’s support for the concept, and the county money would help the city leverage its own funding. It’s just a question of committing. He sees soccer as a community-builder and one of the rare opportunities for people from different parts of Santa Fe—geographically and economically—to spend time with each other.

“I like it. I used to be part of the board for one of the soccer groups and the fields were lined and maintained in kind of a horrible way,” he says.

Like the Santa Fe Soccer Complex group, he’s not throwing shade at the city’s maintenance crews—it’s just that no one really has the expertise to keep soccer fields in top shape. “Who better to really support or work on the fields than this group?” he asks rhetorically.

In the next few weeks, the City Council expects to wrap up its operating budget plans for the fiscal year that begins in July and turn to capital improvement. By mid-summer, the group could know if the city sees a more robust soccer complex as a worthwhile investment that might someday pay for itself with full hotels and busy restaurants.

“Soccer teams travel really well,” Rivera says. “I have nieces and nephews who play, and during the summer, they’re traveling once or twice a month to Denver or Dallas or Las Vegas for tournaments, two or three days at a time. That’s a lot of money.”

f you’ve ever gotten a traffic ticket in Santa Fe County, been charged with marijuana possession or gone to jail for DWI, chances are you’ve interacted with the Magistrate Court. This primary election, outsider Democratic candidates for two judgeships say they want to reshape the way the court runs.

Two bench seats are up for grabs in the June 5 contest, including the one filled by Judge David Segura, who has held the Division 1 seat since 2006. He faces former bail bondsman Jerry Gonzales. Former State Police Officer Sam Sena and Deputy District Attorney John Rysanek are competing for the Division 3 seat.

The court is generally split into a civil and a criminal division, based on Segura’s guidance as presiding judge. Judge Donita Sena and outgoing Judge Donna Bevacqua-Young hear most misdemeanors, traffic violations and civil cases, while Segura and Judge George Anaya Jr. preside over domestic violence, DWI and felony preliminary hearings.

“I don’t take time off after work,” Segura tells SFR. “I go door-todoor [campaigning], unless I have a function to attend, [and] on the weekends it’s the same thing. I’m meeting people every single day.”

A former captain in the Santa Fe Police Department, Segura describes himself as a proponent of restorative justice, which he sees as a remedy that seeks to make the victim of a crime “whole” rather than punish a defendant who is found guilty.

He gives an example of a defendant who destroys a person’s fence while

committing petty larceny. A restorative justice approach to sentencing, he says, would include the defendant “[having] to repair and replace [the fence], in addition to other penalties.”

Segura also organized the Magistrate Court’s DWI drug court program in 2008. A legislative report released last October found the state saved money by sending qualified adults to the programs instead of jail.

He says he tries to exhaust other options before incarceration.

“If they continue to reoffend and their criminal behavior increases, then the court takes a long hard look at a significant jail sentence at that point,” he says.

Gonzales strikes a harsher tone.

He points to his 26 years as a bail bondsman and part-time bounty hunter for bail-jumpers as qualifications. His decision to run for magistrate judge came after his family’s bail bonds business closed in response to a 2016 state law that got rid of bail for nonviolent defendants who weren’t a flight risk.

“I sat in the courtrooms day in and day out,” Gonzales tells SFR. “Why would I walk away from something I understand?”

He also believes crime is “higher than it’s ever been,” though FBI statistics show otherwise: There were 111 recorded violent crimes in Santa Fe County in 2016, higher than 57 in 2014, but nearer to 94 and 95 in 2012 and 2010, respectively. However, data from the Santa Fe County sheriff’s office shows burglary crimes fell by almost 40 percent over the last nine years.

But Gonzales is adamant there exists a “revolving door” for repeat offenders. He believes longer jail sentences are the answer.

Segura says he’s “fairly certain” he won’t be unseated. Yet, campaign finance records show he’s being outspent.

Gonzales’ campaign has raised a little over $13,000 to date, compared to Segura’s $800. Gonzales has also outspent Segura: $5,961 to zero registered expenditures. Contributors to Gonzales include former City Councilor Ron Trujillo.

reporting $2,787 and Sena $5,385.

They have spent $2,737 and $4,843, respectively.

Rysanek, who once owned a web hosting and design business before completing law school and rising to the rank of deputy in the district attorney’s office, describes himself as a “wonk” when it comes to judicial law and rules of procedure.

“I like rules and the intricacies of rules, and that’s pretty much criminal justice in a nutshell,” Rysanek says.

If he’s elected, he would advocate for a shakeup to the current division of responsibilities. Rysanek says “everything should be randomly assigned to all four divisions.”

A “progressive Democrat,” Rysanek also describes himself as a proponent of restorative justice, and believes there is a “sweet spot” when it comes to reducing recidivism through incarceration.

“I don’t think that putting people in jail for a long period of time is anything useful to society,” he says. “We’re basically paying to house someone and feed them, when they should be out in the community doing service or trying to find a job.”

Sena, meanwhile, has been involved with the drug court program in the Magistrate Court since 2009, first as a cop and now as a community liaison.

The former state police officer says he’s well versed in criminal and traffic code, and doesn’t see a serious reason to change the division of duties in the court.

“I believe [the court] should be run in a teamwork format, and some judges might have a little better understanding in certain areas,” he says. “As long as everyone’s working together and working toward each other’s strengths to maintain and keep efficiency.”

Sena quit the State Police in July 2016, shortly after receiving notice that he’d likely be terminated for falsifying firearms qualification scores for fellow officers while he was an instructor for the Law Enforcement Academy, according to records obtained by the Albuquerque Journal.

Sena acknowledges he falsified the scores and made a “poor decision.”

But he believes the incident boosts his judgeship bona fides.

“One specific action does not define the entirety of a person,” he says.

“I think that does help me be a more effective judge—I’ve been there, I’m on that side, I understand that compassion.”

renna Ellis thinks the Trump stuff on social media played a part.

She pushed for the New York reality TV star’s rogue candidacy on Facebook during the 2016 election season. Meanwhile, she was making a big ask of New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, who had publicly feuded with Trump over his comments about immigrants and Martinez’ running of the state.

Ellis, 51, wanted the governor to issue a pardon for her 2001 felony conviction on conspiracy to commit arson. An act of mercy from Martinez would give Ellis, who served six months in jail and has been free for more than 15 years, a clean record and enable her plumbing company to secure government contracts.

Martinez shot down Ellis’ request.

“I think I got screwed,” Ellis tells SFR and New Mexico In Depth in a telephone interview from her home in North Carolina, adding that she believes her impassioned support for Trump factored into Martinez’ decision.

Martinez and her aides did not respond to a request for comment on Ellis’ claims.

SFR and New Mexico In Depth have assembled what is perhaps the most complete picture ever of how recent New Mexico governors have used their constitutional power of executive clemency.

That includes pardons, for people who

Applications from felons for executive acts of mercy have plummeted in New Mexico under Gov. Martinez have served their time, and commutations, in which sentences are reduced for those still incarcerated.

A court victory in a public records lawsuit filed by SFR enabled this close examination, which found, among other things, that Ellis resides in an overwhelming majority: She has asked Martinez for a pardon—and didn’t receive one.

An analysis of hundreds of pages of documents and multiple spreadsheets by the news organizations shows that Martinez has granted just three pardons—an act that clears what are, in most cases, decades-old crimes from people’s criminal records—since taking office.

More significantly, the analysis reveals a drastic drop in the number of people even requesting clemency under Martinez, compared to the previous two administrations.

Former two-term governors Gary Johnson and Bill Richardson fielded more than 1,000 clemency applications each; Martinez has received roughly 250 applications for mercy in her seven and half years as governor, according to records turned over by the state. Johnson, then a Republican and now a Libertarian, granted nearly 9 percent of pardon applications between 1995 and 2003, the analysis found. Richardson, a Democrat who served from 2003 through 2010, had a 7 percent pardon grant rate.

Martinez: 1 percent.

Johnson commuted two women’s sentences, and Richardson gave one woman a commutation. Martinez has not granted any commutation requests, the records show.

The meager grant rate for Martinez, a former district attorney in Las Cruces who is approaching the end of her second and final term, fits with her govern-as-prosecutor style on criminal justice issues—including her ongoing push to reinstate the death penalty, calls for increased sentences for a host of crimes and even coming around to support Trump’s border wall idea.

The precipitous decline in applications surprised a pair of longtime New Mexico criminal defense lawyers who have decades of experience in post-conviction work. Both concede, however, that they’ve told prospective clients not to bother with clemency applications

until there’s a new governor, given Martinez’ rhetoric since she took office in 2011.

One of the lawyers, Mark Donatelli of Santa Fe, calls Martinez’ clemency record an “abuse of power in the sense of not using the powers that are granted to her by the Legislature and our constitution.”

Mark Osler, a professor at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota whose scholarship, writing and teaching have focused on clemency nationwide, says he’s not aware of any other states that have seen applications fall off the cliff as they have here.

He called Martinez’ stinginess with clemency a “dereliction of duty.”

“Pardons, which effectively are a restoration of rights, are meant to be part of the system; they’re included in state constitutions, and we don’t throw constitutions together casually,” Osler says.

“There’s something deeply troubling about kicking part of the system out from under people.”

Donatelli and Margaret Strickland, president of the New Mexico Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, say pardons are especially important in New Mexico, which does not allow expungement—the wiping clean of some criminal records after a certain period of time— even for misdemeanors. In the internet age, when arrest records are a mouseclick away, a pardon could go miles toward landing someone a job.

Martinez, however, has granted pardons to three people who are at or near retirement age. Their crimes: welfare fraud; breaking and entering; and larceny. The governor has denied at least 65 applications for clemency outright; she deemed at least another 71 “ineligible” for various reasons and, in 32 cases, her office did not provide a disposition or an explanation for where the applications stand.

Some of the pardon files Martinez’ office provided are incomplete, leaving a question mark hovering over the disposition of some 85 cases, some of which the governor appears not to have acted on.

The data leaves other questions, too.

It appears the state does not track the race, ethnicity, age or even gender of those who have applied for pardons. Nor is there an indication of how many applicants had the assistance of a lawyer.

What is clear, however, is that people have sought clemency for crimes ranging from first-degree murder—automatically ineligible for pardons here, by law—to rape, armed robbery, writing worthless

Gov. Susana Martinez has steadfastly refused to discuss her pardon record.

checks and drug possession charges that are no longer felonies in New Mexico.

And although Martinez has turned away a higher percentage of applicants than her predecessors, the vast majority of those who have filled out a pardon application during the past 24 years have come away empty-handed.

Martinez has steadfastly refused to discuss her pardon record, going so far as to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars of state money on a private lawyer to keep secret the records that underpin this story. She remained silent through

multiple requests for comment on the findings by SFR and NMID. WHAT IS A PARDON? Pardons in the United States release people who have committed crimes, typically felonies, of the legal consequences of convictions after they’ve completed their sentences, probation and parole.

By wiping a conviction from someone’s record, pardons can serve as proof that either the conviction was wrongheaded in the first place, or demonstrates a president or governor’s belief the person

Governors’ Mercy Gov. Susana Martinez has exercised her constitutional power to pardon past convictions far less frequently than her predecessors. But the more striking decline is the roughly 75 percent drop in pardon applications received under Martinez compared to governors Johnson and Richardson.

in question has been rehabilitated and deserves a chance to fully integrate into society unfettered by potential obstacles that arise from legal blemishes.

During her first four-year term, Martinez put more requirements in place for applying for pardons, a process that already forced applicants to have a high school diploma and to wait various lengths of time after their convictions before applying. She has barred pardons for a host of crimes, including misdemeanors, multiple DWIs and sexual offenses.

New Mexico is one of 29 states where the power of executive clemency is vested in the governor alone, according to a scholarly paper published by the American Bar Association in 2009. New Mexico state law allows for its Parole Board to advise the state’s chief executive on pardons. And the governor does frequently seek Parole Board input; the SFR and NMID analysis shows the Parole Board weighed in on 134 requests under Johnson, 259 requests under Richardson and at least 68 requests under Martinez.

In 13 cases, Martinez went against the Parole Board’s recommendation. Such was the case with Bruce Gillis, who in 1974 was convicted of a fourth-degree felony for distributing marijuana. Gillis told Martinez in a letter that he was 20 years old, “immature and irresponsible,” and pleaded guilty to the charge at the advice of a lawyer, but later turned his life around.

The Parole Board recommended a pardon. Martinez denied it.

Generally, in states where pardon power isn’t invested in a single person, rates of successful pardon applications are higher, says Osler, the Minnesota law professor. For example, Georgia and South Carolina, where parole boards have ultimate authority over pardons, issue pardons at higher rates than Vermont, Minnesota and New Mexico, three states where the governor has complete control.

“You tend to see fewer granted when the executive has absolute power, because it becomes a political concern,” he says.

GOV COMPARISONS Gary Johnson tells SFR and NMID he didn’t consider politics in pardon applications, and he acknowledges that his perspective on the issue chafed other Republicans. Johnson says that partly explains his switch to the Libertarian Party.

As a political candidate, Johnson has often highlighted his stance in favor of marijuana legalization. He says he took special care to pardon drug offenders.

“Really, from the civil liberties standpoint, hey, these people have issues—but are they criminal?” Johnson says of drug users. “No way.”

Richardson declined comment for this story, but his lead pardon attorney, Justin Miller, says Richardson “was very interested in the personal stories of the people who applied for a pardon because he understood that he had the power to help people who had gotten into legal trouble become fully reintegrated into society.”

In granting far higher percentages of pardons than Martinez, Richardson and Johnson also were more willing to buck the Parole Board’s recommendations— including a few cases in which they granted pardons over the board’s objections.

Martinez, by contrast, has never granted a pardon in a case where the Parole Board recommended denial, according to state records. Those cases include marijuana-related convictions.

Under Johnson and Richardson, the number of clemency applications remained relatively steady from year to year. Martinez, on the other hand, received the overwhelming majority of applications in her first term—but they’ve slowed to faint trickle since 2015.

The data provides no insight into the roughly 75 percent decline in applications under Martinez compared to her two predecessors. New Mexico lawyers say they’ve turned away clients who want to pursue pardons because of Martinez’ track record, and the tightened requirements she’s put in place likely have deterred some from applying.

Donatelli, the Santa Fe-based criminal defense and civil rights lawyer, criticizes all three governors for a dearth of pardons, citing the raft of nonviolent crimes that show up in the 24 years’ worth of data as unworthy of excluding people from participating in democracy.

He singles out convictions for drug possession and minor drug sales from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, when the War on Drugs was at its height and focused primarily on impoverished, minority communities, as cases ripe for pardons.

“A governor should be taking into consideration when looking at a conviction, ‘Was this a case of unlawful or arbitrary application of police power that results in harsh treatment of the poor and minorities?’” Donatelli says.

He’s also certain many of those who applied were above the poverty level—skewing the data provided to SFR and NMID. The majority of people who get caught up in the criminal justice system are poor.

“If you had a public defender in the first place, you probably can’t get an attorney to submit an application to be considered—another imbalance and inequity in the distribution of justice in our state,” he says.

Bucking the Board New Mexico governors Johnson, Richardson and Martinez all have shown a willingness to ignore recommendations on pardons from the Parole Board. But unlike her predecessors, Martinez has never issued a pardon when the board said she should deny it.

Some people whose cases SFR and NMID reviewed have applied multiple times for pardons from all three governors. Jesse Childers is a former police officer who, in 1981, “offhandedly advised my brother-in-law and his two friends how to commit an inside robbery and not get caught.” He was not present when the crime went down, but spent five years in prison anyway. He first asked Johnson to pardon his armed robbery and conspiracy convictions in 1998. Johnson denied him.

He appealed to Johnson again in 2001, but was ruled ineligible because he hadn’t waited long enough after his first denial. Richardson did not take action on Childers’ third application before leaving office at the end of 2010.

In 2011, Childers filed a fourth application, this time to Martinez. It came with a letter of support from well-known Albuquerque attorney and Martinez donor Turner Branch, which Branch had orig-

inally sent to Richardson’s legal team in 2009.

Martinez was unmoved—despite a recommendation from her Parole Board that Childers be pardoned. “I hold law enforcement officers to a higher standard than civilians,” Martinez wrote in her denial letter.

A month later, Childers’ wife tried again, imploring Martinez in a three-page letter to “remember mercy.”

“Now that you have a new job, it is time to take off the hat of a prosecutor and put on the hat of a public servant,” she wrote.

Martinez appears not to have responded.

For the first time, SFR and New Mexico In Depth can present vignettes of Gov. Martinez’ pardon files—stories about crime, punishment and redemption. If not for a years-long legal fight, the public likely would never have seen the stories.

In 2013, SFR sued the governor for failing to turn over various public records. The most significant of them were the applications people made to the governor requesting pardons.

Martinez’ office argued executive privilege shielded the pardon files from disclosure.

The governor went so far as to hire Paul Kennedy, a wellknown Albuquerque lawyer whom Martinez once appointed to the state Supreme Court, to help her shield the records from public view. She has paid Kennedy and his firm hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money for his work on the case, although her administration has refused to say exactly how much, prompting yet another lawsuit from one of the authors of this story.

But Santa Fe State District Court Judge Sarah Singleton ordered Martinez to turn over documents that detailed applicants’ crimes, their accomplishments and pleas for forgiveness.

“The Court’s review of the records produced from the 10 sam-

ple files, attached as exhibits to Plaintiff’s Motion, indicates that, apart from the redaction of personal identifying information to which the parties stipulated, those records were neither privileged nor exempt from disclosure,” Singleton wrote in a 2016 order. “They just do not meet the definition of documents that would support an exemption or privilege, and there is nothing about them that makes them in need of particular protection.”

The governor’s office turned over hundreds of pages of documents contained in more than 250 pardon application files.

SFR distilled all the information in a spreadsheet, allowing for the most comprehensive analysis yet of Martinez’s record on pardons.

Still, SFR did not obtain all the information it was seeking; included in the packets are votes from the state Parole Board recommending to the governor how she should act on certain pardon applications. The governor’s office redacted the Parole Board findings, making it more difficult to scrutinize the governor’s final decisions on pardon requests.

Martinez can release the Parole Board recommendations if she so chooses.

Singleton’s ruling ordering the release of the pardon files will help shine a light on such records no matter which governor is in power, according to Katherine Murray, who represented SFR in the lawsuit alongside Santa Fe lawyer Daniel Yohalem.

Now any journalist or citizen encountering trouble obtaining pardon files under any gubernatorial administration can point to Singleton’s ruling and say, “‘This happened before,’” Murray says.

State District Court Judge Sarah Singleton ordered Martinez to turn over documents that the governor refused to make public on her own.

that granted them a full share of that dream.

Then 64 years old, Charles Hayes wrote to Martinez in a 2011 pardon request that he got into trouble 43 years back, when his friends decided to steal beer from a lodge in Los Alamos. Hayes did not participate in the theft, yet he drank some of the beer. He was convicted for breaking and entering, but the judge told him “if I would join the Marine Corps he would remove any record of my being in trouble.” He enlisted the same day, and did not know if he would return home from Vietnam alive.

A devout Catholic and family man, Hayes wrote that he led a “very good and productive life.” He worked for the same company for 30 years and rose into a management position before retiring. He volunteered for a Los Alamos search-and-rescue team.

But he discovered the judge did not fulfill his end of the bargain; the conviction remained on his criminal record for life, unbeknownst to him until he attempted, unsuccessfully, to purchase a deer rifle for his son as a Christmas gift. He wanted a pardon to enjoy annual hunting trips and “hold my head a little higher.”

Martinez gave it to him.

In another of the three cases, Martinez granted a pardon at some political risk of appearing soft on welfare fraud.

Despite two requests by SFR and NMID, Martinez’ office turned over sparse documentation for the pardon application of Marian Donaldson, who pleaded no contest in 1986 to felony welfare fraud.

Donaldson’s pardon file shows no application letter, case documents or letters of recommendation that would help describe her crime. But Martinez granted Donaldson, born in 1939, a pardon, citing “extraordinary circumstances.”

In a telephone interview from his home in northern Idaho, Edward Schneider, the third applicant to be granted a pardon by Martinez, says he applied for a pardon because he could not travel to Canada. He was surprised to learn he was only one of three applicants who received a pardon from Martinez, and he says no political or personal connections helped him get a felony larceny conviction pardoned.

Schneider wrote to the governor that, since his release, he had not been charged with a crime. He wrote that he’s paid his taxes, raised his family and volunteered. Schneider says the key to his not falling into the trap of recidivism was support from family

and friends. Moving to another city after his prison sentence helped too, Schneider says.

“Maybe it’s like AA,” Schneider tells SFR and NMID. “You just have to make a clean break. You have to say, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore. I don’t like being locked up in prison. And I will do anything required of me to keep from returning to that system.’”

Schneider says his felon status did not inhibit his employment chances NM PARDON FILE

Pardon picture only possible because of newspaper’s court fight

Edward Schneider, one of three applicants to be granted a pardon by Martinez, says he applied for a pardon because he could not travel to Canada.

because it was harder in his days to find someone’s criminal history. But in the age of Google, Strickland, president of the New Mexico Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, says unemployment is why “pardons are an important part of justice.”

Like many governors, Martinez may wait until the end of office to grant more pardons. Others, such as Brenna Ellis, say they’ll wait for a new gubernatorial administration before applying again.

Donatelli, the criminal defense attorney, says he expects “the numbers to go back to what we saw in previous administrations” with a new governor in office Jan. 1, “and even greater given the recognition of drug convictions people are laboring under with the responsible exercise of executive power.”

The Future of Everything

L

ast July, I wrote about the launch of Santa Fe Institute’s Interplanetary Project, an interdisciplinary initiative that examines cosmic issues and questions from a variety of angles: scientific, artistic and philosophic, to name a few.

At the time, SFI President David Krakauer previewed his vision for a summer festival that would showcase the myriad Santa Fe organizations with future-centric missions to providethe city an opportunity to position itself as a place that values innovation and collaboration.

That festival is right around the corner.

Come June, the Interplanetary Festival (June 7-8), the annual Currents New Media festival (June 8-24) as well as a slew of other activities from other partners will take over the Railyard and other venues for a month of exhibits, talks, concerts and multi-faceted events centered on the evolving and interconnected roles of science, technology and art (hey! that’s what this column is about too!).

This convergence—titled and marketed as Futurition (santafefuturition.com) via a city Arts Commission grant—also includes Meow Wolf, Axle Contemporary, form & concept and Art House. Futurition itself is part of the Emerging Media

Alliance’s Emerging Media Month (EMA’s own launch party happens June 14—info at emergingmedia.io). EMA, a Santa Fe Film and Digital Media Commission Project, also includes Descartes Lab, SITE Santa Fe and MAKE Santa Fe. (Regarding the latter, Santa Fe also hosts the Nation of Makers Conference June 9 and 10 at the convention center).

Given the extensive calendar of events, be sure to check out the online resources—from Futurition and the Emerging Media Alliance—for the full schedule. Despite the delays in human cloning, I plan to be at all events simultaneously and will provide a half-time report in this column on June 13.

Frank Ragano, one of Currents’ cofounders and executive directors along with Mariannah Amster, says the Futurition collaboration began after discussions with Krakauer last summer. Partnering with Interplanetary and other organizations working at the interface of science, technology and art “fits right into what our vision has always been,” Ragano says. Currents, he acknowledges, “has been a central force in this month-long showcase of Santa A whole family of community organizations is making Fe’s growing”—and I would argue it possible for a the summer of science, tech and art. thriving—“scene of innovation.”

COURTESY INTERPLANETARY FEST

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

Next month, science, technology and art converge in the Railyard (and beyond)

In its ninth year, Currents offers up nearly 90 pieces from close to 100 artists working in a variety of mediums, many immersive and interactive, such as virtual reality, 3-D printing and soundscapes.

While Currents has traditionally given some visitors their first exposure to cutting-edge mediums, Ragano stresses the festival’s curatorial vision as rooted in art over technology.

“It used to be hard to find interactive work that wasn’t just gimmicky,” he says.

“But what’s happening over the last few years is you’re seeing people use [the technology] in an artistic way.” Nonetheless, he says, “technology is just another tool and artists are moving toward learning to use the technology. It’s just where the art form is going.” For some audiences, he adds, the interactive experience “allows an entrance into the art world [for visitors who] aren’t necessarily art-interested people, because the technology gives them a foothold to relate, because they’re so used to media all around them.”

Currents also will include additional programming, such as a virtual reality

dance performance the opening night, a workshop on weaving and coding (the relationship between the two, that is), and artists’ talks.

In addition to a free opening night Railyard concert by Ozomatli, the Interplanetary Festival features daily panels on topics ranging from living in space to interplanetary intelligence to social and economic engineering and everything in between. Panelists include scientists, of course, along with artists, writers, musicians, business people and futurists of varying degrees. Film showings and book signings also are in the program—a free screening of Forbidden Planet at the Jean Cocteau includes the chance to meet Robby the Robot.

Krakauer and Ragano both described the festival as partially intended to help shift the outside perception of Santa Fe. The city’s historical value is undisputed, as is its natural beauty. But it’s also home to cutting-edge art, technology and science.

“I think it’s fair to say tourism is driven by history,” Krakauer says. “It could be recent history, it could be more distant history, but I think a lot of us who live here would like it to be also driven by the incredible creativity of the existing population.” And that, he says, “is oriented toward the future … so, it’s a little bit of a mixture of that aspiration to create a very forwardlooking, hopefully very inclusive, really fun, historically sensitive, new kind of face for this town.”

ART OPENING SAT/26 LITTLE FEAT Art is wonderful. Art is beautiful. Art is necessary. Art is also often expensive. Dammit!

Thank goodness for folks like Metallo Gallery proprietor Cassidy Watt, who curates one hell of a miniatures show. Watt’s gallery artists, colleagues and friends are formidable artists in various mediums (he’s a metalsmith, and in his gallery you can find paintings, jewelry, handbound books and sculpture), and they bring it down to 36 square inches each May for a show of hundreds of pieces of bite-sized art that’s also often at bite-size prices. Sure, some pieces climb into the upper triple digits, but you’ll likely head home with a masterpiece for under $100.

Enjoy snacks, tunes, and that renowned Madrid camaraderie, too. (CJ) In Microscale Opening Reception: 4 pm Saturday May 26. Free. Through June 30.

THEATER THU/S4-SAT/26

Dealt a Good Hand New Mexico Actors Lab is steady, as she goes The ever-trustworthy New Mexico Actors Lab opens its 2018 season with The Gin Game, a 1976 play by DL Coburn that snagged the Pulitzer Prize in ’78. We meet Weller (Jonathan Richards) and Fonsia (Suzanne Lederer); both are new to nursing home life and have few visitors. They form a friendship over card games, and as we learn more about them, timeless themes of toxic masculinity, misogyny and dishonesty rear their heads.

Richards, whose sweet performance in last year’s Heisenberg endeared him to everyone who saw it, begins the show in that same bemused, affable manner; Lederer is totally transformed from her manipulative Southern Belle in last year’s Glass Menagerie here, becoming a spindly widower who’s superficially timid but deep-down fierce.

The two have a conversation that is so natural and free-flowing that it’s easy to forget they’re onstage. We’re flies on the wall as he teaches her how to play gin, and their rapport is flawless. And, as ever with the New Mexico Actors Lab, the “old” work stays fresh for 2018.

Many lines had the audience laughing out

loud. The timeless humor of the script, however, fades away to a different, more unfortunate type of timelessness: the outing of nasty men. Perhaps in 1976 we would have said “he has a slight temper,” but today we call it unacceptable and terrifying. It was heartbreaking to see Richards’ Weller turn so bad. He is such an endearing actor who marvelously depicted a man whose anger and self-loathing turns him into a dervish of rage—but Lederer’s Fonsia doesn’t back down. I wouldn’t mess with that little old lady, and neither should Weller.

Sure, it’s a great story for an older crowd, but it’s also immensely relevant for “kids these days”—as are most truly masterful pieces of theater. I scribbled the words “toxic masculinity,” “boundary queen” and “gaslighting” in my notebook—as modern a series of ideas as you could ever want. (Charlotte Jusinski)

On the Record

MUSIC

Lost Padre Records brings variety to the local vinyl game

The whole point to me is to walk into a store and buy something you don’t know.

-Lost Padre Records’ George Casey

The store itself is pleasant and full of light. Wooden crates fill tables in the center of the room and shelving crammed with multiple genres line the walls. Lost Padre carries both new items—a cursory glance provided everything from The Beach Boys and Vashti Bunyan to Jay-Z, A Place to Bury Strangers and beyond— and used, running the gamut from classic rock, folk, opera, Norteño, rap, punk

Lost Padre Records’ George Casey might be new to Santa Fe, but he’s here to help.

and much more. Lost Padre even carries obscure, unheard-of or forgotten New Mexico recordings, and Casey is always on the lookout for more.

Yes, he’s interested in maybe buying your used records—just don’t pop in with the bazzilionth pressing of Sgt. Pepper’s and expect a huge payday. It’s also the only record store in town with a dedicated listening station, which Casey is particularly excited by. “The whole point to me is to walk into a store and buy something you don’t know,” he says. “[Otherwise], you’re either going to buy something and just hope it’s good, or you’re going to buy something you already know. And at that point, you may as well buy online.”

If this is what he’s offering in his first week, however, there are no doubt greater surprises in store. And his love for the medium is obvious—and infectious.

“You begin to form this weird physical bond with that tear that’s in the left corner of the sleeve,” Casey says. “I remember pulling a record out of a thrift store in LA in the ’90s, and there was just a fully-rolled joint in the middle—and of course we smoked it. It was Neil

M AY

Young’s Crazy Horse, and that album I still have at home, when I open it up, there’s kind of weird stain from where that who-knows-how-old joint had sat for years. I have an attachment to it.”

Casey’s future plans include selling vintage turntables, a possible expansion to select CDs and, if we’re all lucky, afternoon in-store performances from traveling bands with nighttime shows.

The grand opening even boasts country crooner Greg Butera and Norteño folk trio Lone Piñon. For now, though, Lost Padre Records is quite the welcome addition to Santa Fe, for longtime collectors to newcomers. We can hardly think of a better shepherd for the job, too, as Casey is obviously a music freak, but he’s a super-nice guy, too—a rare demeanor from a job that seems to foster snobs. It’s simple: Start buying records.

think what is happening, if you look at the history of record sales, there was really just a small dip in sales from the late-’90s to, like, 2004,” George Casey says. New to Santa Fe as of about six months ago, Casey softopened his new record store, Lost Padre Records—and we’re talking honest-toGod music on vinyl, folks—on Catron Street just last week. A grand opening celebration is scheduled for this Friday evening. “It was really just 10 years where they weren’t as big,” he continues. “And I don’t think it’s ever going to be as big as it was in 1965, but I think the main thing is that if you care about it and you’re a fan of something, you want to hold something in your hands—MP3s are never going to do it for you.”

Casey migrated to town from New Jersey, but he’s lived all over, from New York City to Texas, Europe and California.

Originally, he and his wife had planned a move to the Southeast US but, as is a common-enough story, after visiting and spending a few weeks in Santa Fe, he says, they didn’t want to leave.

For years, Casey had collected records for personal use and to sell online. He gravitated to the hobby, he says, because it was cheap. “I got into records in college,” he explains. “It was the late ’90s and everyone was trading in their vinyl albums for CDs, and you could get albums for a buck. I got hooked.” During college in Claremont, California, he would frequent one of the last remaining Rhino Records retail locations, a habit that changed him. “Starting with that store, I was kind of like, ‘This is cool and I wanna hang out here all the time,’” he says. “And

Friday

“I

pretty much anywhere I moved, I found record stores.”

His trajectory is familiar to most music aficionados: beginnings in punk and classic rock, followed by sojourns into world music and the weirder side of things. He’d begun DJing in New York City with ’60s R&B and garage rock, and the collecting never stopped. Even today, Casey says he’s got thousands of LPs and 45s in storage, but he’s slowly incorporating what he can into the Lost Padre retail experience.

An Oasis From Apathy Teens take over the Railyard with annual Oasis Festival

rowing up in Santa Fe is hard.

On Saturday nights, it’s not uncommon for the “What’s on for tonight?” texts to fizzle into nothingness.

Nothing’s ever on for tonight. When you visit friends or family in a big city, you’ve undoubtedly thought your life would be infinitely better and more exciting if you lived there; it seems like this town was designed for retirees who like museums and trails. One might even describe it to out-of-towners like, “It’s pretty and the food is good, but it’s not that exciting.”

And that’s one of the main criticisms from Santa Fe youths—it can get boring here.

But maybe it doesn’t have to be. The Convergence Project, a group of about 15 students from Santa Fe Prep, has been combatting this notion for the past five years with the motto “For youth, by youth.” The group pursued the goal in 2018 by curating two events: the winter Black Light Party at Meow Wolf last February and the upcoming Oasis Festival in the Railyard on Saturday May 26.

“Especially for places like Santa Fe, it’s hard to find things to do, and local kids from Santa Fe, they understand that,” Prep junior Lauren Johnson tells SFR. “They know what things will be accessible.”

Arielle Nathan, another junior at Prep, adds, “The purpose of Convergence is to provide opportunities to teenage artists in Santa Fe and New Mexico. So we have events that are created, promoted and designed by teenagers, and then all the events are for teenagers.”

The members of Convergence are broken up into three groups for writing, art and music. The writing group applies for grants, creates buzz on social media and writes promo material for the concert.

The art group helps with said promotional material and also creates the merchandise Convergence sells at the events. And,

finally, the music group reaches out to artists, plans the concert and organizes the lineup.

This year’s festival kicks off at 1 pm with registration for the chalk art competition (yes, there are prizes). And don’t worry about lunch—the Back Road Pizza and Kebab Caravan food trucks are scheduled to appear, so you can stay focused on your art. After the chalk competition ends at 5 pm, it’s all about the music. Groups like Lily and Gray (a twin singer-songwriter duo), Last Cause (teens from around Santa Fe), Dzaki (from Las Cruces) and a number of solo acts represent Santa Fe teens. New York City-based folk and soul-inspired pop act Overcoats close out the night. Also, expect a “surprise” performance by the National Dance Institute and a circus show by Wise Fool. It might be hard to be believe, but all of this is free—well, not the food, but the rest is.

“It’s just been super cool to see something that was this crazy idea that I and a couple of my friends had two or three years ago take root as an established thing,” says co-founder Oliver Hillenkamp. “It seems like something that has potential to happen every year and expand.”

And expansion is on the group’s mind.

“This summer [we] want Convergence to reach more of Santa Fe than just Prep,” says Nathan. “We’re going to try to build it into other events and make some more things happen with organizers from other schools.”

While they’re not completely sure what they want for future iterations, Johnson hints at one possible event they’re considering. “We’re trying to work on some sort of cinematic aspect,” she says. “Like a Sundance kind of playoff, so maybe that’ll go somewhere next year.”

I like watersports, and I heard about a guy in a rural area who holds piss parties in his backyard. I found a mailing list for those interested in piss play, and it wasn’t long before he posted about one of these parties. People on the list talk a big game, but no one else has stepped up to host something, including me.

(I would, but four neighbors look into my backyard.) The host has very simple rules for who can attend: You have to identify as a guy and wear masculine attire. I get to the party, and there were about four guys and the host. I had a good time. The host had plenty of drinks out, towels, chairs, canopies, and candles to ward off the mosquitos. I’ve been back a couple times. Everyone is friendly enough and there’s the right amount of perversion. So what’s the problem? The host. He’s loud and annoying.

He insists on putting classical music on (it doesn’t set the mood very well). He tells the same lame jokes every time he’s pissing on someone. He will complain that people say they’re coming and don’t show. If you are having a moment with someone, he will invariably horn in on the action. Without being rude, I’ve tried to make it clear that we are not looking for company, but he doesn’t take the hint. It’s his party, and props to him for hosting it—but it takes the fun out of it when the host doesn’t know when to back off. I’ve gotten to the point where it’s not worth the effort to go. Do I just get over it, or say something privately?

-Person Exasperates Enthusiast The advice I gave a different reader about dealing with a guest horning in on the action at an orgy applies in your case: “Even kind and decent people can be terrible about taking hints—especially when doing so means getting cut out of a drunken fuckfest. So don’t hint, tell. There’s no rule of etiquette that can paper over the discomfort and awkwardness of that moment, so you’ll just have to power through it.”

Swap out “drunken fuckfest” for “drenchin’ piss scene,” and the advice works—up to a point, PEE, because the person in your case who needs telling, not hinting, isn’t one of the guests, he’s the host. (And he sounds like a gracious host. I mean, drinks, towels, and canapés* at a piss party? Swank.) But your host’s behavior sounds genuinely annoying. Hosting a sex party doesn’t give someone the right to insert himself into someone else’s scene, and stupid jokes have the power to kill the mood and murder the boners.

So what do you do?

Well, you could send your host an e-mail or give him a call. Thank him for the invite, let him know you appreciate the effort he goes to (such delicious canapés!), and then tell him why some people say they’re coming and don’t show: You’re too loud, your music is awful, you have a bad habit of horning in on the action, and you need to learn some new jokes to tell when you’re pissing on someone (or, better yet, not tell any jokes at all). But I don’t think ticking off a list of his shortcomings is going to get you anywhere other than crossed off the invite list to future parties.

So why not make your own piss party? You don’t need a big backyard—I mean, presumably your place has a tub. Supplement your tub with a couple of kiddie pools on top of some plastic tarp laid down on the living room or basement floor. Ask your guests to keep it in the tub, pool, or on the tarp. You get to choose the guys, you get to select the music, and, as host, you can lay down the law about making jokes and horning in on the action: Both are forbidden, and joke-telling horner-inners will be asked to pull up their pants and leave.

One last thought: If you have it in you to invest some time in getting to know this guy—if you treat him like a human being—you might be

able to draw him out on something that clearly frustrates him: guys who say they’re coming to the party but don’t show. If he seems genuinely baffled, PEE, that’s your opening to ask if he’d like some constructive feedback. If he says yes, you can very gently run through your list of ways to improve his parties: no jokes, better music, and a “no horning in” rule for all (not just for him). * Yes, I know: There were canopies at the party, not canapés—tents, not hors d’oeuvres.

But I read it as canapés at first, and the mental image of piss players daintily eating canapés between scenes was so much more entertaining than the mental image of piss players huddling under canopies that I stuck with my original reading.

I had a MMF threesome with my husband and a man we met on Instagram (of all places)!

Everyone had a good time, and there was no awkwardness afterward. I think things went so well because after years of reading Savage Love, we knew to “use our words” and treat our “very special guest star” with respect!

Thanks, Dan! -My Ultimate Fantasy Fulfilled You’re welcome, MUFF! I’m a cis woman and recently came out as a lesbian after identifying as bisexual for three years. After having sexual encounters with men and women, I finally admitted to myself that I am gay. Now that I’m finally out, I don’t want to do anything that would make me feel like denying it again. My question is, am I a bad lesbian if I sleep with a guy? I’m currently working 50 hours a week and going to school.

I don’t have time for a relationship, and finding casual hookups with women is difficult. A male friend I know and trust recently propositioned me. At first I said no, but now I’m rethinking it. Sex with men doesn’t compare at all to sex with women for me. On a scale of 1 to 10, it’s definitely in the below 5 range. But my mind says, “It’s still sex!” and I would enjoy it to a point. But I worry that doing this would call my sexuality into question. I feel like I’d definitely have to hide this from my friends. And if I feel guilty enough to hide it, maybe I shouldn’t do it? Finally identifying as a lesbian was like breathing out for me. I feel way more like myself and am way happier now. But I worry that even being willing to consider this makes me seem bi. I guess I’m looking for permission and absolution. Would this make me a “bad” lesbian? Or would it mean I should identify as bi?

-Girl Asking You I’ve often been accused of having a pro-dick-sitting bias, GAY, so I decided to recuse myself and pass your question on to a couple of lesbians.

“She is way too concerned with labels,” said Lesbian #1. “I used to slip on a dick once every few years—before I quit drinking tequila—and that didn’t make me any less of a raging, homo-romantic dyke. And if her friends give that much of a fuck about who she bones, she needs friends with more interesting hobbies.”

“I don’t think there is anything wrong with her or any lesbian wanting to sleep with a guy,” said Lesbian #2. “I wouldn’t sleep with a guy, but I do agree that women trying to casually hook up with other women is much more difficult than men with men or even men with women. Women instantly want to be your longterm partner after one hookup—the U-Haul jokes are fucking real. But if identifying as something is important to her, I think identifying as queer might be a better option for now rather than struggling to figure out if she is only bi or only lesbian and only those forever.”

COURTESY NOCONA BURGESS

Family-friendly healthcare across the life span

With the annual Native Treasures and Indian Market events looming on the horizon, Indigenous artists from across the board who work hard all year have no doubt kicked into an even higher gear output-wise. For Comanche painter and Santa Fean Nocona Burgess, however, “always prolific” might not be a strong enough term. Burgess’ striking portraits of Native faces are a sublime balance between colorfully magnetic and haunting, so we caught up with him ahead of his upcoming opening exhibit at True West Gallery (5 pm Friday May 25. Free. 130 Lincoln Ave., 982-0055), which coincides with Native Treasures. (Alex De Vore)

Accepting all insurance plans.

Sliding-fee discount program available.

We know you as a painter, but do you ever dabble in other mediums?

I always kind of joke that I’m a one-trick pony. I paint in acrylic. I just paint. I keep thinking I would like to do more monotypes, but right now I just kind of paint. I can’t seem to get enough of it. When it comes to sculptures or 3-D stuff—no way (laughs), I have no mental capacity for that stuff.

Are you excited for the upcoming shows?

august

I usually do a smaller booth, about an 8-foot table space, for Native Treasures. A lot of stuff that sells at this show is the jewelry and small items; it’s a good show in terms of gearing up for the summer.

I believe a lot of people wait for Indian Market [to buy], and they can peek. I have some collectors who have multiple pieces. I have one collector in Rhode Island who I think has, like, 14 pieces. It’s cool; people are seeing the artwork in their house, some people just really love it and can’t get enough. I have multiple collectors who keep buying. I even have collectors who buy my paintings for their friends.

There was one guy out of Texas who has bought my paintings for Willie Nelson.

Any surprises coming up with your exhibit or Native Treasures or Indian Market?

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of abstract—not super-abstract—work. Loose brush strokes and experimenting with a looser style. I tried it last summer for Indian Market and won two ribbons, so it was a good start. I’m going to have a few of those pieces at Native Treasures, too. What I like about Native Treasures is that it’s a good way to get eyeballs on the work, see collectors of mine, get their take—see if people are responding. My worst fear is to be painting and in 20 years it looks exactly the same. I always want to push it.

Lowrider Day celebrates its third year

BY ALICIA INEZ GUZMÁN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

L

owriders have a certain magic about them. Perched just inches off the ground, they cruise through the streets in that Sunday-drive-no-hurry kind of way, catching the glint of the sun and turning heads. The glistening custom paint jobs, chrome embellishment, spoked tires and whitewalls forge a work of art on wheels that often inspires a well-timed “Dayum!” And, if you stare long enough, the driver will likely give a slight nod of the chin, as if to say, “Orale.”

“Who wouldn’t want a work of art?”

Grace Martinez asks, talking about her own connection to lowrider culture. She, along with Carlos Muñoz and Arcenio Vargas, is organizing the upcoming Lowrider Day, a celebration hitting its third year that will line the streets of the Santa Fe Plaza at 11 am on Saturday May 26. The first official Lowrider Day took place on May 22, 2016 in tandem with a pair of exhibitions at the New Mexico Museum of Art, and the New Mexico History Museum. With that first Lowrider Day, then-mayor Javier Gonzalez read a proclamation recognizing the pachucos and pachucas who’ve made lowrider culture their life.

With a chuckle and a sense of earnestness, Muñoz describes the outside perception lowriders have often faced. “People see lowriders and they see trouble,” he says. That perception goes back decades, and may have something to do with those first lowriders who began the tradition of cruising the streets—pachucos. Since their inception in the 1930s, back when

Mexican Americans first donned the zoot suit, pachucos have stood as countercultural subversives who rebelled against the mainstream. The hypernationalism of the 1940s that led to the deportation of millions of Mexicans and Mexican Americans through government repatriation programs was at the root of the bitter xenophobia many zoot-suiters faced; that came to a head in Los Angeles’ infamous Zoot Suit Riots in June of 1943.

As a point of pride and survival, pachucos began crafting cars at first weighed down with cinder blocks and sandbags to get what would become a signature look.

Then came the signature cruise line, a bajito y suavecito paseo through neighborhoods that literally put the car and its driver on display. The lackadaisical crawl of the lowrider became what speed is to a hotrod aficionado.

Stereotypes about lowriders as criminal offenders have no doubt been built on a history of misonception, persisting in visual culture, like film. From 1992’s American Me to the most recent offering, 2016’s Lowriders, cinematic sketches of lowriders recycle a similar template where gangs and jail time are expected story devices.

Despite the the negative idea of who lowriders are, whether cholos, pachucos or otherwise, Muñoz is quick to insist that as a lifestyle, building cars “keeps kids from getting into trouble. It steers you away from anything negative.”

And, as both he and Martinez relate, building lowriders is a family affair. Mar-

And there’s plenty more where this came from on the Plaza come Saturday May 26.

tinez can even pinpoint the year when she first built her own car with her husband: 1978. Later, when he enlisted in the US army, Martinez, who lives in La Puebla, would cruise to the Big Rock Shopping Center in Española, where she snapped pictures of her sons and her 1976 Monte Carlo. She sent the pictures to her husband at his army base. Today she proudly claims that both of her sons are lowriders and has plans for building a lowrider bike with her grandson. “It’s special, generational,” she says. “A family thing.”

Passing down the love for lowriders is almost like passing down a genetic trait.

For Muñoz, it was his cousins who first introduced him to the cars and culture.

“I was fascinated with the paint jobs,” he muses. And since high school, he has always owned a custom car. Not only that, but building cars developed into a business, Muñoz Customs (1285 Clark Road, 570-0921). Walking in, customers are greeted by a shimmering candy-colored sign lined with blue lights. “Muñoz” is em-

curblazoned across the center in white cur sive script.

This year’s Lowrider Day is hosted by Southwest Promotionz, which Muñoz and Vargas helm. Attendees can expect at mulleast 75 cars, an award show for mul catetiple car, bike, and truck cate gories, T-shirt sales, and some eye-popping vehicle Virdesigns. No doubt, the Vir gin of Guadalupe will make an appearance, emanating from a hood or a trunk like a vision from the sacred hill of Tepeyac itself.

“Everyone is welcome to participate,” Muñoz tells SFR, referlowridring to observers and lowrid ers alike. He hopes that hosting Lowrider resDay on the Plaza will invite Santa Fe res idents to a place that can have the feel of being only for tourists. “I want to bring locals to our downtown area,” he emphasizes. And at the end of the day, Martinez and Muñoz plan a cruise line, where proud lowriders can do what they do best—ride low and slow.

The Real Magic of Mushrooms James Beard Foundation seeks a healthier burger

W

e all know they’re delicious, but could burgers ever be good for society? According to the James Beard Foundation, the answer is yes.

In the service of, well, the service industry, the foundation has created a series of programs designed to train members of the culinary community to become leaders and advocates. One such initiative is the Blended Burger Project, a summer-long, nationwide competition that challenges chefs to create a burger blended with 25 percent mushrooms. The program has been building momentum, and now New Mexico is getting involved in the fun.

“As mushrooms top trend lists this year, we are so impressed by the creative blended burgers that are being added to menus across the country,” Kris Moon, vice president of the James Beard Foundation, writes in a statement. “Even in its fourth year, chefs are so passionate and enthusiastic about adding a more sustainable, nutritious and delicious burger to their menu.”

The James Beard Foundation has partnered with the Mushroom Council, a federal marketing group of mushroom importers and producers who work to expand and develop the national demand for mushrooms, which sounds like one of the best and weirdest things the USDA has ever been involved with.

“People don’t realize the environmental benefits of growing mushrooms,” Kim Bedwell, marketing representative of the Mushroom Council, tells SFR. “It doesn’t take much water, and you can really do it anywhere; we focus on sus-

tainable nutrition, and when the USDA re-evaluates where nutrition is going in 2021, I suspect sustainability is going to be a major factor.”

Bedwell also points out that blending a burger with mushrooms reduces the overall carbon footprint of the primary ingredients, since livestock sources contribute much more to greenhouse gas emissions than ’shrooms. Blending also adds a host of different vitamins and fiber and reduces overall calories and cholesterol. The umami flavors of mushrooms make them an easy ingredient to blend into meat without having much of an effect on taste.

(Ostensibly. I can still taste them, but I like both meat and mushrooms, so it’s not an unwelcome addition.) Plus, come mushroom-hunting season, it seems like every chef in Santa Fe is camped out in the mountains somewhere; the contest provides a chance to blend a little taste of the Sangre de Cristos into the summer staple that is the average quarter-pounder.

This might sound like heresy to true burger dogmatists, but the goal isn’t to alienate people who like beef by telling them to eat more veggies. It’s to challenge people’s assumptions

about the nutritional value and environmental impact of casual dining. While more and more fine-dining restaurants embrace the ethos of “farm-to-table,” which essentially aims to reduce the steps in between growing your food in a field and artfully arranging it on a plate, the vast majority of people who eat food buy produce trucked in from other countries and meat slaughtered across state lines, simply because it’s cheaper and easier and there aren’t enough local viable alternatives.

Encouraging chefs to examine the soul-crushing machine behind the classism inherent in our food system is both subversive and empowering. “It’s a great, accessible way for chefs to become involved without a huge lift. It’s a small step towards making a huge difference,” says Sarah Drew, a member and marketer for the James Beard Foundation.

The Blended Burger Project runs from Tuesday May 29 to Tuesday July 31, and registration is open for restaurants to participate up until the starting point of the contest; after that, voting takes place online ( jamesbeard.org/blendedburgerproject). burgerproject) Customers can

choose their favorites, and in August, the top 20 entries will be selected and whittled down to five by a celebrity tasting panel consisting of the Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern, culinary director of Good Housekeeping magazine Susan Westmoreland and starchef.com CEO Antoinette Bruno.

New Mexico boasts three entries—a pretty good showing considering that only 1,000 restaurants nationwide are signed up: Toltec Brewing (Albuquerque), The Ranch House (2571 Christo’s Road, 424-8900) and downtown’s Restaurant Martín (526 Galisteo St., 820-0919). I got to sample both the latter participants’ blended burgers at a luncheon kicking off the registration for the event, and each was worth voting for.

Chef Josh Baum of The Ranch House crafted a turkey and cremini mushroom burger topped with a persimmon and apricot-flavored bacon butter spread, mixed with smoked gouda cheese and crispy onion on a toasted brioche bun.

Chef Martin Rios of Restaurant Martín crafted a blend of oyster and cremini mushroom mixed with duck meat, topped with a black bean mole dried almost to a paste, and with peppered bacon, red on onions and pickled poblanos. The mole was coun subtly spicy and sweet, a perfect counterpoint to the richness of the duck.

Martin’s burger is available on the bar Com menu at the Santa Fe Brewing Company’s nearby downtown tasting room, the Brakeroom (510 Galisteo 780-8648) St., 780-8648).

New Mexico might not have a lot of entries, but with all the powerhouse fla local ingredients that add color and flavor to burgers (there’s still not a green chile burger entered on our behalf yet), I’m excited to see what kind of impact this contest will have on the future burger scene of Santa Fe.

“Dubstep is for pussies.”

No one is going to accuse Ryan Reynolds and crew of trying to make a “good” movie with Deadpool 2, but it’s definitely one of those fun summertime romps you always hear about. Reynolds is, of course, Deadpool, the merc with a mouth who regenerates like Wolverine, fights with the power of a million ninjas and kills … well, he kills pretty much anyone he can.

When last we left him, Deadpool’s affairs seemed in order and he’d found his own place within the Fox-owned Marvel universe (we see you, Venom, we’re just not sure what the deal with you is yet), but his affinity for doing what he considers right at all costs has put him in a bit of a bind. No spoilers, but he’s trying to die. Throw in a handful of lesser-known (or cared-about) X-Men and X-Force characters (like Domino, Shatterstar, Colossus and Zeitgeist), a number of in-jokes for comics fans, a barely-there story about helping people (maybe) and Josh “Also Thanos” Brolin as the time-traveling supersoldier Cable, and you’ve

got a recipe for madness—and sequels, even if it’s beyond irreverent and over-packed with oneline groaners and over-the-top violence.

Reynolds does his Reynolds thing, breaking the fourth wall, using that voice of his and becoming the victim and perpetrator of some seriously gruesome carnage. Brolin, meanwhile, finds that happy middle ground between emotionless straight man and foil as his character travels back in time to prevent a horrible future tragedy. Regardless—and say what you will—the action in Deadpool 2 is bonkers-fun.

The award for best new character goes to Atlanta’s Zazie Beetz as Domino, a mutant whose power is just that she’s pretty lucky. It sounds dumb, and Deadpool himself mocks her for it, but between her kickass fight scenes and Beetz’ laidback, funny delivery, we’re definitely into it.

Round out the rest with some ridiculous and only-sometimes-funny jokes from side characters—including TJ “I Make Bomb Threats” Miller—and you get a perfectly fine movie that certainly won’t give the Marvel Studios juggernaut a run for its money, but still delights in poking fun at it nonetheless. Director David Leitch (Atomic Blonde) deserves recognition for allowing the silliness to always throttle the story forward, just don’t take your kids—and make sure to hang around for the self-referential mid-credit scenes. Shit’s rich.

+ FASCINATING AND IMPORTANT - SOME INTERVIEWS FEEL SUPERFLUOUS

Now in her mid-80s, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is enjoying a bit of latein-life rockstar status. Much of this has to do with her shuffling more toward liberalism after George W Bush appointed two conservative justices during his presidential tenure (Ginsburg was decidedly more moderate in her rulings beforehand) and the subsequent numerous dissenting opinions she’s filed, such as against a 2014 ruling that found crafts mega-corp Hobby Lobby wouldn’t need to take women’s reproductive health into account within its employee health coverage.

Regardless, she’s come to be known as a bit of a badass and an icon not just for feminism, but fighting for what’s morally right. American history fans are no doubt aware of Ginsburg’s track record dating back to the 1970s when, as a lawyer, she first argued before the Supreme Court and worked to turn the tide for women in this country.

About time, then, that she’d become the focus of a documentary—and a damn fine one at that. In RBG, from documentarians Julie Cohen and Betsy West, we finally get the full picture.

accomplishments. We also see a broad overview of a number of cases she presided over and how she handled them.

She is funny and composed, an avid arts and opera fan who seemingly never tires and takes seriously her charge to work for the American people. For Ginsburg, we learn (or relearn) that the job is never about partisanship or special interests; it’s about helping to shape the country in a way that is mutually beneficial for all.

She’s not naive, however, and plans to continue the fight, she says, “so long as she can go at it full-steam.” There are no signs of stopping, and it’s endlessly inspiring and amusing to observe her boom within pop culture.

Be warned, however, that some of the content may drive one mad—from the shamelessly one-sided ideology of old white men and pervasive lack of equality in America, to the level to which Ginsburg has constantly had to rise in order to prove herself. Tirelessly. Again and again.

Still, we’re glad to know she’s still out there crusading, and we can only hope RBG is shown to everyone—particularly young people—for a long time to come. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, PG, 98 min.

*in The Studio

After a Best Foriegn Language Film Oscar win for A Fantastic Woman, director Sebastián Lelio is all the rage. Thus, Santa Fe finally gets a look at his other 2017 film, Disobedience, the tale of a young Jewish woman named Ronit (Rachel Weisz) who returns to her strict Jewish community in London after the death of her father and years away. No one is thrilled to see Ronit, but when she reunites with her childhood friend Esti (Rachel McAdams), sparks fly and we get a clearer idea of why she left her life behind so easily.

Similarly to last year’s excellent Menashe, it’s fascinating to glimpse the inner workings of insular Jewish communities, and Leilo handles the traditions, customs and strictures with care. Still, we definitely feel like outsiders looking in right alongside Ronit, and it’s uncomfortable at best.

Rightly so. Family members and friends consistently judge and admonish Ronit for her choices, but as the chemistry ramps up between her and Esti, a knee-jerk true-love defense starts to kick in. Further complicating things is Esti’s husband Dovid (Alessandro Nivola), the next in line for the top rabbi position who senses something is amiss with his wife.

Weisz feels lackadaisical as Ronit, constantly swallowing her pride and feelings but never truly embracing them before shirking them off as fundamental differences between her and her people. We get a sense that she’s upset, but it feels more like she’s reciting words than embodying her character’s unenviable position.

McAdams, on the other hand, is a revelation, all at once cold out of self-preservation, melancholy out of loss and torn between her responsibilities to herself and to her husband and faith. Most scenes without her lag, and we truly do empathize with her position, especially after one of the most intense sex scenes in modern film.

Still, we can’t help but resent Ronit for showing up, kicking the hornet’s nest and then fleeing. This could be because we come to feel protective of Esti, or it could be in how we project the aftermath of our own poor decisions onto the characters. Either way, it’s all well and good to say things like “love conquers all;” it’s another thing entirely to live by that. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 114 min.

+ McADAMS IS STELLAR - WEISZ IS SO-SO

+ IT’S FUN, Y’KNOW? - SO FAST-PACED IT’S KIND OF TRICKY TO CARE

You might consider some of the following to contain spoilers, but they’re MILD, all things considered.

It’s all been leading to this—y’know, not counting some of those X-Men movies.

Or Spiderman. Or the Spiderman reboot.

Anyway, all the Marvel Studios movies we’ve been watching since Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. gave us a decent Iron Man flick in 2008 have been leading to this, and while it might not disappoint from an action standpoint or a tying-plotlines-together standpoint, Avengers: Infinity War is basically a bazillion scenes of explosions layered between melodrama, a whole lot of “remember when?” moments, and the kind of CGI that makes your moviegoing companion say, “Damn, that’s really good CGI.” When last we left the Avengers, the team was split and ultra-villain Thanos was hanging around the galaxy trying to get his absurdly gigantic hands on the six infinity stones forged in the crucible of the Big Bang—stones that would give him dominion over time, power, soul, earth, wind and fire (jay kay about the last three—he just really likes that band). See, the plan is to snuff out half the universe’s population so nobody suffers as much anymore—which Thanos sees as mercy—but, since they’re apparently good and all, the Avengers (and their offshoot pals like Spider Man, Dr. Strange, the Guardians of the Galaxy and pretty much anyone else who can hold a gun or use mind powers or blast lasers from their fingers) set out to stop him. Caught up?

Cool.

Obviously, this film was bonkers-expensive to make and, as such, comes with some of the best special effects of all time. Thanos alone looks far better than trailers have led us to believe, and it’s hats-off to Josh Brolin for bringing the heat with both voice and mo-cap work. The odd thing is his utter calmness in the face of his own genocide plan, but this makes him far scarier than he had any right to be; the wrinkled chin thing doesn’t do him any favors, though.

The rest of the cast boils down mostly to the quips for which they’re known. Iron Man (Downey Jr.) is, of course, his arrogant self, while Spider-Man (Tom Holland) cracks cutesy and wise in the vicinity of Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), who does his whole stoic-master-of-the-universe thing; Star Lord (Chris Pratt) gets goofy while Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is still a little more silly after his last outing in Thor 3: The Search for More Money. The problem, however, is that for every scene that kicks off amping up the audience with a superhero we feel we know, there’s such a brief window in which to provide exposition before it’s on to the next. It’s exciting at first, but grows a little tiresome without enough screen time for … well, for much of anything.

Fight scenes are cool, alright, they’re just stuffed in alongside so many other things that

Chris Pratt and Robert Downey Jr. made more money for Avengers: Infinity War than you’ll make in a lifetime. Two lifetimes, even. The point is this: Avengers was just OK. the pace feels frantic and the overall oomph of the ending feels pointless. I mean, if we really wanna talk spoilers, here’s the elephant in the room: They’ll probably win.

Still, it’s Thanos’ show, and Brolin doesn’t disappoint. It’s another story altogether for flat jokes from Groot, Paul Bettany’s over-the-top drama as Vision and Peter Dinklage’s mindbogglingly awful British accent and ham-fisted performance as a space dwarf (their words, not ours) who makes crazy weapons for gods with a forge powered by a dying star. Scarlett Johansson may as well not even be in this thing, as she pretty much just punches a space monster or two. Elizabeth Olsen is fine as Scarlet Witch. She’s fine.

We’ll definitely hand out points for directors Anthony and Joe Russo’s ability to smartly capture the differing tones of the multiple Marvel films in a cohesive way, we just hope the sequel (did you doubt there’d be one?) slows its roll a little or at least gives us a chance to catch our breath with a bit more character development.

would be defiant and moody and self-absorbed, it feels false that she would prioritize these feelings over, say, continuing to breathe.

Regardless, both Krasinski and Blunt nail the family dynamic, demonstrating just how far a parent would go to protect their brood.

The creature, meanwhile, is the true star of A Quiet Place—a spookily designed monstrosity that harks back to creature-feature horror while asserting its own identity, even if it does owe a debt of gratitude to movie monsters from classics like Alien and Predator.

Krasinski and company must be commended for keeping the monster under wraps in the trailers, and trust us—it’s definitely scary.

Still, the ultimate resolution isn’t quite as satisfying as it could be, and the no-sound shtick comes perilously close to outstaying its welcome, even if it is relatively inventive. As far as simple, atmospheric horror goes, though, you could do a hell of a lot worse than A Quiet Place.

A QUIET PLACE

NEW MEXICO

+ CLEVER IDEA; BLUNT AND

KRASINSKI SURPRISINGLY RIVETING - “OH, C’MON!” MOMENTS

John Krasinski dons his writer, director and actor caps for A Quiet Place, a sort of hybrid horror/sci-fi flick set in post-apocalyptia that finds a man and his family forced into constant silence to stay alive. Mysterious creatures have appeared in Farmland, USA, and seeing as they’re blind, they navigate and hunt by sound—kind of like bats, only not adorable. Krasinski’s clan thus adopts a million neat survival tricks to stay ahead of the game.

It’s a simple but smart idea, from the clever pathways laid with sand to the series of color-changing lightbulbs strung up around the farm to soundlessly warn of imminent danger.

Krasinski plumbs surprisingly moving emotional depths as a father facing loss who must also prepare his kids for the new world order. Ditto for Emily Blunt, also his real-world wife, who conveys terror sans dialogue in very meaningful and downright stressful ways. The children (Noah Jupe, Suburbicon, and Millicent Simmonds, Wonderstruck) are another story altogether, both in terms of the hammy expressions they lean into and the annoying plot lines with which they’re saddled.

Jupe is fine as the token “I’m a-scared!” kid, but Simmonds is particularly bothersome as a melodramatic pre-teen who is deaf (handy, though, since the entire family knows sign language because of it) and definitely blames herself for the film’s harrowing opening sequence. While believable that a young girl

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Aries poet Anna KamieÐska described the process of writing as akin to “the backbreaking work of hacking a footpath, as in a coal mine; in total darkness, beneath the earth.”

Whether or not you’re a writer, I’m guessing that your life might have felt like that recently. Your progress has been slow and the mood has been dense and the light has been dim. That’s the tough news. The good news is that I suspect you will soon be blessed with flashes of illumination and a semi-divine intervention or two. After that, your work will proceed with more ease. The mood will be softer and brighter.

The cosmos and I want to enjoy the show as you act like you have the right to express your soul’s code with brazen confidence and unabashed freedom.
