NEWS, MAY 14: “UNCERTAIN FUTURE FOR TEEN ARTS CENTER”

WHAT’S IN A NAME? After 21 years, Warehouse 21 was labeled the “Studio Center” by a fresh board of directors. That name sounds so generic to me and hardly memorable. I was relieved to see W21 signage still in place there for past six months. Just recently came key changes on the board, and news that the original name hadn’t been legally switched.

I’m assured that this place may continue to

New Patients Welcome

COVER, MAY 30:

Our society is experiencing an historic shift. More and more victims of sexual violence are finding the courage to declare #MeToo, and people are listening.

It’s not happening just in Hollywood or Washington DC, but also right here; in the New Mexico legislature. The weather is changing—for the better. As men, we need to change as well.

When men are accused of sexual misconduct and raise the alarm of “False Allegations!!” the only thing I can hear is a stubborn denial to look at themselves and take stock. As a group, we men have been taught to view women as less value, objects and property. It is present even among those of us who have been taught to be gentlemen. Each of us men are responsible to make a change in ourselves to ensure that the violence ends.

I would hope that our state leadership would set an example and face accusations of sexual harassment with humility and a true desire to make amends. I would hope that these leaders would recognize the courage it takes to speak up—especially against someone who holds public office.

Claims of “conspiracy” are not only ridiculous, but are also disrespectful and harmful to survivors.

The real conspiracy has been men keeping our mouths shut while we see and hear our brothers abusing women in word and deed. Not to mention the times we ourselves have participated.

SNAKE FOR THE RECORD Thank you for the story about Eldorado Snake Relocation Volunteers (ESRV).

However, there are two errors that need to be corrected.

[You reported] that snakes do not like water. The fact is that snakes like and need water as much as they need food and shelter. ...

[As for who to contact when you find a snake,] snakes move quickly, so the available volunteers must be in close proximity to the resident requesting a relocation. ...

We [in Eldorado] are in our seventh season of successfully educating residents about the value of snakes and relocating snakes as needed. We are available to help other neighborhoods set up a similar program.

LYN DEMARTIN ELDORADO Editor’s Note: When we reported that snakes don’t like water, what we meant was you’re not likely to find a rattlesnake choosing to live in your toilet tank. But, either way, the phrasing has been changed online.

LETTERS CLAYTOONS, MAY 16 LET THERE BE LIGHT? The Santa Fe Reporter’s May 16, 2018 editorial cartoon depicts the smiling caricatures of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ivanka Trump, as the Prime Minister holds his coat over the blood of dead Gazans so that Ms. Trump does not soil her boots. Representing the Prime Minister and Ms. Trump—proxies for Israel and the United States—as taking pleasure in the deaths and wounding of people in Gaza is a gross and unfair fabrication. It presents a very difficult and complex situation in a simplistic light: ignoring the role of Hamas in mobilizing the breaching of the border and Israel’s very real dilemmas in trying to defend that border. All involved—including Israelis and Americans—unquestionably recognize it as a horrific tragedy that so many people have been killed and wounded at the Gaza border. The editorial cartoon’s biased view makes light of a very serious and complex situation.

SCOTT L LEVIN ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE, MOUNTAIN STATES REGION DENVER, COLORADO

SHOE = OTHER FOOT This cartoon was shocking for its blatant anti-Semitism, disguising itself as “mere anti-Israel” political comment.

How would you and your readers have reacted if “mere anti-Obama” commentary had been delivered in the form of a caricature presentation of Little Black Sambo from 60 years ago? Would you have published and defended such a cartoon as a simple political statement?

The depiction of the democratically elected leader of the only democracy in the Middle East, using the traditional iconography employed by the Nazis 80 years ago demonstrates a truly depraved taste and an utter lack of historical information on the part of the creator of the cartoon, and a total lack of editorial responsibility on the part The Reporter.

You should apologize in print and on your website for disseminating this dis-

gusting cartoon.

KRISTINA HARRIGAN SANTA FE

REALITY Thank you for your courage in standing up for Palestine in your recently published cartoon. I’m sure you’re getting blasted with accusations of anti-Semitism, but how can portraying reality be anti-Semitic?

DESPERADO

THE

NAOMI G HARRISON SANTA FE

SPADE I applaud the Reporter for printing the cartoon lampooning the horrors of the Gaza massacre as Ivanka Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu celebrate the move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem; a clear violation of the status of the city as determined by the UN to be a multi-national/cultural city. ...

While many would call the cartoon at least anti-Israel, more will call it anti-Semitic while ignoring the definition of Semitic. ...

Not all of the people of Palestine are semitic, including many Jews. But what users of the term mean is “anti-Jew.” It matters not one wit if the Israelis led

by Netanyahu are Jews, Arabs (some are) or bananas, the same international ethics and morality apply. A massive amount of blood was spilled by Israel’s actions. Ivanka Trump made the presentation at the new US embassy while the massacre was going on and Gazans died and bled per Israel’s decisions. ...

Don’t be afraid to call a spade a spade.

Cannabis in Court Legal disputes could remake New Mexico’s cannabis industry, or at least clear up a few things

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

B

eyond the dispensary counters and the budtenders, some of the state’s largest cannabis producers are teaming up with high-powered law firms to push the limits of regulatory law and defend proprietary turf.

The pending litigation mostly concerns producers and other ancillary businesses that hold large market shares in New Mexico’s cannabis trade. The cases are a cross-sample of an emerging area of law as the state and industry professionals wade into new territory, though one lawyer argues that their outcomes will likely not make it any easier for new players who aren’t already well-capitalized to enter or thrive in the industry.

The latest salvo was initiated

by Erik Briones of Minerva Canna Group, which has dispensaries in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Bernalillo and Los Lunas. According to a complaint filed in First Judicial District Court on May 23, a man named Sean Gabaldon allegedly tried to usurp control of the company from Briones, Minerva’s president, in what reads like a failed coup d’etat.

It started when Gabaldon bought enough shares in Aspen Management, the for-profit company that manages the operations for Minerva, to make him the only member of Minerva’s executive board alongside Briones, according to the nonprofit’s bylaws.

The complaint says Gabaldon was also supposed to receive dividends from Minerva’s cannabis sales each quarter.

But in February 2016, the state Tax and Revenue Department informed Briones that it intended to impose a gross receipts tax on all funds passed from Minerva to Aspen. Briones continues to contest this tax burden, according to his legal team, and he informed Gabaldon two years ago Aspen wouldn’t receive dividends for much of 2018 because of the potential tax liability.

Instead of accepting these terms, the complaint says, Gabaldon formed a shadow board with six other named defendants “for the stated purpose of removing” Briones as president from Minerva’s

executive board of directors. He tried to take funds out of Minerva’s creditor, Kirtland Federal Credit Union, but instead Kirtland froze Minerva’s account.

“There was no promise [of dividends], it was just an investment—you take a risk, sometimes you get paid dividends and sometimes you don’t,” says Thomas Hnasko, the lawyer representing Briones.

A preliminary hearing on the injunc-

Sacred Garden likens products regulated by the state’s Medical Cannabis Program to prescription medicine, and argues they are therefore not subject to a gross receipts tax. That case went to the New Mexico Court of Appeals in March.

Another case wending its way through the court could set new limits for how competing cannabis-testing businesses access each other’s trade secrets.

On April 2, the company Steep Hill Labs, which has a testing facility in Albuquerque, filed a complaint against the New Mexico Department of Health and competitor Scepter Labs in Santa Fe, alleging that the DOH illegally handed over copies of Steep Hill’s standard operating procedure for cannabis testing to Scepter

tion to stop Gabaldon and others from representing themselves as Minerva’s leadership is scheduled for June 11 in front of Judge Raymond Ortiz.

Hnasko says it’s not clear when the separate but related matter of whether dividends passed from Minerva to Aspen are subject to gross receipts tax could be resolved, but it echoes a similar dispute between producer Sacred Garden and the Tax and Revenue Department over the Santa Fe nonprofit’s losing efforts to win a $530,000 tax refund for the sale of cannabis products.

owner and director Kathleen O’Dea in response to her request under the state Inspection of Public Records Act. Steep Hill compared O’Dea’s successful request to “a student [obtaining] the answer key for a major exam,” and asked the court to compel return of the SOPs, which Steep Hill characterizes as trade secrets that shouldn’t have been disclosed.

O’Dea’s lawyer Jason Marks says Scepter had no intention of imitating Steep Hill’s testing methods, as the latter alleges.

NEWS

“We have basically denied everything, and we believe that it’s completely improper to haul someone in for misappropriation of trade secrets because of filing a lawful IPRA,” Marks tells SFR. Lawyers from the Santa Fe law firm Bardacke Allison representing Steep Hill compared disclosure of its testing procedures to competitors obtaining the formula for Coca-Cola and said the DOH erred by disclosing them.

Meanwhile, the largest producer in the state by revenue, Ultra Health, also has a lawsuit pending against the DOH over its limit on the number of cannabis plants producers can grow. The nonprofit’s owner and CEO Duke Rodriguez tells SFR a ruling could be be announced “possibly in days” after a bench trial last year.

Ultra Health and a patient filed a joint complaint in District Court in August 2016 alleging the DOH is creating an artificial shortage by limiting producers to 450 plants per growth cycle. DOH increased the plant cap from 150 in 2015 after it found the original kept production so low that some patients were reportedly buying cannabis on the streets.

Cannabis programs in other states have had challenges maintaining appropriate supplies of the plant.

US attorneys claim there is currently a glut of pot in Oregon, while Nevada ran out of pot only three months after it legalized a recreational market last July.

Later this year, in a separate federal case, a jury is slated to decide whether three officials from the New Mexico State Fair violated free speech when they prohibited Ultra Health from displaying certain diagrams and other cannabis-related information at last year’s fair. The producer is represented by Egolf + Ferlic + Harwood, and New Mexico House Speaker Rep. Brian Egolf is on the producer’s legal team in the matter as well as in the plant cap dispute.

For Jason Flores-Williams, a criminal defense and civil rights lawyer who handled cannabis litigation in Santa Fe before moving to Denver several years ago, examples of big-name businesses hiring big-name lawyers do not bode well for creating an industry with an even playing field.

“It was my misplaced hope that the cannabis business in New Mexico might be a more fair type of business,” Flores tells SFR. “But it’s just like every other type of business in America, benefiting the rich and white and well-connected.”

Work To Do

Three months in, Alan Webber still has to fill the city’s top jobs and create a women’s advisory council 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

W

hen Santa Fe voters sent Alan Webber to the mayor’s office in the fourth round of ranked-choice balloting last March, they did so with a degree of trust. Trust in the man. Trust in the message.

Webber promised to reform City Hall not by leaning on front-line workers, but by asking division chiefs and department heads to be more accountable and to prove that they shared his vision for a city that could be a model for customer service, sustainability and other lofty— but achievable, he argued—goals. He promised to work hard to ensure women had a much more active role in city governance.

Three months into his stint as mayor, there’s work to do, trust to gain and promises still to fulfill.

Webber hasn’t hired any of the three positions for which he has sole authority—the city’s clerk, attorney and manager. Shortly after he took office, he asked all exempt staff, which generally means senior positions, to reapply for their jobs.

“We’re watching the clock,” Webber told SFR after a recent tour of city water facilities. “We want to get decisions made.”

Webber says he’s conducted interviews for both the city manager’s job and that of city attorney. He hasn’t sat down with candidates for city clerk.

But many of the department head positions—technically hired by the city manager, whom the mayor can hire and fire—are still occupied by people who are there as placeholders or people who aren’t sure if they’ll be asked to stick around. Last month, Webber asked Lisa Martinez, head of the city’s Land Use Department, and Rob Carter, who led the Parks and Recreation Department, to step down.

The new mayor also walked into a recently kicked hornet’s nest when he initially supported pay hikes for a group of workers who’d been leading the effort to roll out important new software for the business side of the city’s dealings. While Webber supports the idea of pay increases for extra work, he came to discover that they hadn’t been properly vetted by the City Council. The gaffe cost him his city manager and human resources director.

In stepped Fire Chief Erik Litzenberg, who is halfway through an interim appointment as city manager, after which he’ll return to the Fire Department. Litzenberg says one of his pri-

mary goals has been hiring department and division heads.

“I think getting a good team in place to move the mayor’s initiatives forward and to move the city forward in general takes a team,” Litzenberg tells SFR. While he’s new to the business of hiring department heads and doesn’t have much context for whether the city’s search is taking a long time, he says he’s not willing to hire just to put a warm body in a comfy desk chair.

“I would hope we would be very deliberate, that the process would be taken very seriously and that the broad spectrum of candidates is considered, and the top couple, especially, are very well vetted,” he says.

One of the hiring outcomes watched most closely will be the split of men and women among senior staff. An SFR analysis of the city’s organizational chart, as included in the budget for next year, shows that of the 44 top positions listed, 34 belong to men and just 10 to women.

It’s not an exhaustive analysis—Webber calls the chart “a relic”—but it’s reflective of the gender imbalance many perceive at City Hall.

“Well, we haven’t made a lot of formal hires, so it’s a little premature to evaluate,” Webber points out.

NEWS

In a January opinion piece published in The New Mexican and titled “No more time to waste—women deserve respect,” Webber wrote that whether he won or lost the campaign for mayor, he felt Santa Fe needed an advisory council for women. He studied other cities with such panels, he said, and “where they’re given real authority, they make a real difference. A Women’s Advisory Council will provide an equity advocate to address the underlying issue of power in our society.”

Webber took some flak for the idea from fellow candidate Kate Noble, who told him at a debate amid the arabesques of the Lensic Performing Arts Center, “Women need to not be in an advisory role.”

Webber argued that he felt women had a place at all levels of city government, and creating an advisory council with “real authority” would assure a strong, consistent advocate for women’s issues at City Hall.

The authority of a women’s advisory council, though, doesn’t extend to direct input on which candidate to hire, Webber says. He sees it as potentially problematic and akin to letting the Bicycle Trails Advisory Committee pick a favored candidate for the engineer’s job that interacts with the panel.

The mayor says he hasn’t forgotten about the advisory council and that the city attorney’s office is drafting an ordinance to enshrine it in city law. If the City Council approves, Webber will have his group.

But the mayor has shown a willingness to act without the city attorney’s blessing. In April, after a month on the job, he rolled out eight advisory groups to help with his transition. The committees will help the mayor with such policy issues as sustainability, public safety, jobs and a catch-all-sounding group on unity in Santa Fe. There’s no women’s panel.

2018 PRIMARY ELECTIONS Lujan Grisham and Morales to form ticket for Gov. and Lt. Gov., with Colón for auditor

M

ichelle Lujan Grisham rolled to an easy victory over two rivals in the Democratic primary for governor Tuesday, and questions about her ties to a company that helped manage New Mexico’s high-risk insurance pool appear not to have diminished the broad support she enjoyed before the criticism piled up.

The three-term congresswoman from Albuquerque won 66 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results from the secretary of state. In an Albuquerque Journal survey published May 27, she had 57 percent approval from likely Democratic voters—compared to 15 percent for former media executive

Top of the Ticket Results

Jeff Apodaca, 9 percent for state Sen. Joe Cervantes and 19 percent undecided.

In the end, Apodaca, who pressed hardest against Lujan Grisham for the money she made from Delta Consulting, even calling on her to drop out of the race, finished second, garnering 22 percent of the vote. Cervantes won 11 percent to finish a distant third in an election that saw turnout numbers statewide reach at least 28 percent—outstripping state totals of 20 percent in the state’s last midterm primary election in 2014.

In a conference call with reporters on election night, Lujan Grisham brushed aside Apodaca’s criticisms as a “political stunt.”

“People rejected it because they know me,” says Lujan Grisham, who will face Republican Congressman Steve Pearce of Las Cruces in the November general election. Pearce ran unopposed in his party’s primary. That means two sitting

members of Congress will battle to succeed Republican Susana Martinez, who is barred from seeking a third term in the governor’s office.

Democrat Howie Morales will run against Republican Michelle Garcia Holmes and Libertarian Robin Dunn in the November race for lieutenant governor. With unofficial results showing Morales grabbing 47 percent of votes among Democrats, he easily won election to vie for a position as the next governor’s right hand over Rick Miera and Billy Garrett.

Morales, of Silver City, has served two terms in the state Senate and lost a primary battle against Gary King in the governor’s race in 2014. He’ll run alongside Lujan Grisham, while Garcia Holmes, a retired Albuquerque police officer who last year lost a bid to become mayor of the state’s largest city, will fill the bottom of the ticket with Pearce. Dunn joins Bob Walsh on the Libertarian ticket.

Lujan Grisham describes Morales as a “respected expert in public education” and says he will bring “strength and support in the southern part of the state” to the Democratic ticket.

Another closely watched contest was for state auditor. Democrats Brian Colón, who was trounced last year in a bid to be mayor of Albuquerque, and state Rep. Bill McCamley of Las Cruces squared off to face Republican Wayne Johnson, who ran unopposed and as an incumbent.

Gov. Susana Martinez appointed Johnson to the position as the state’s financial watchdog after Tim Keller left the seat following his victory in the Albuquerque mayor’s race.

Colón won the race handily, according to unofficial results, carrying about 63 percent of the vote.

Voter turnout this year surpassed the last midterm primary in 2014.

Taking a moment from guests at a celebration in his home, Colón tells SFR he’s ready for the next challenge.

“My strategy is the same for the general as it was for the primary, which is I am going to carry a clear message and I am going to outwork my opponent and I am going to rest on Nov. 7,” he says.

The former state party chairman says clear mandates from party voters raise all boats. “When you are talking about one candidate in a field of three in the governor’s race consolidating 66 percent of the vote, we are going to have a strong ticket. Republicans are going to have their hands full,” he says. “We are going to work well together as a ticket.”

Voters in Santa Fe overwhelmingly turned out for Lujan Grisham, unofficial results show.

“She seems like she has her head in the right place and she’s going to do good for New Mexico,” Rejeana Mascarenas told SFR on Tuesday afternoon, after casting her ballot for Lujan Grisham.

“I’m really excited, and not just because she’s a woman, but because of her ideas.”

Apodaca had supporters here, too.

“I’m a Democrat that voted for Martinez in the last election, but I don’t blame her for everything,” Iraq war veteran Mike Luna tells SFR after voting on Tuesday. “I voted for Apodaca, I wanted change, I want to see if he could

do a change. Being 49th in the country in education, for almost everything—it’s really bad.”

In an encouraging sign, voters turned out to the polls Tuesday in larger percentages than the last time New Mexico held midterm primary elections. In 2014, roughly 200,000 out of almost 1 million eligible voters cast ballots. (New Mexico holds closed primaries, meaning only registered members of the Republican, Democratic and Libertarian parties can legally vote.) This year, more than 259,000 voters—about 28 percent of the

921,796 eligible—blacked in their circles, according to unofficial results.

Shortly after the first batch of votes were posted on the secretary of state’s website, both major parties brought out the long knives for their November opponent—signaling the muddy, entrenched battle that lies ahead. At 7:12 pm, the Democratic Governors Association issued a release saying Pearce is “too extreme for New Mexico.”

The Republican Governors Association responded 64 minutes later with an email subject-lined: “New Mexicans Can’t Trust Far-Left Democrat Michelle Lujan Grisham.”

And there’ll be plenty of money to keep the mud flying during the next six months.

Pearce spent nearly $1 million on the primary race, even though he did not face a challenger, and he heads into the general election with nearly $2 million in the bank, according to his most recent filings.

Lujan Grisham blew through more than $3 million beating back criticisms and attacks from her opponents in the pitched Democratic primary. She has about $1.1 million left over for the general.

Observers expect plenty of outside money to be spent on the race as well.

Incumbents fall in two Northern New Mexico House races

A hotly contested race for a Northern New Mexico legislative seat ended in upset.

Challenger Andrea Romero held a slim lead with 53 percent of votes to take the Democratic nomination for the District 46 seat from incumbent Rep. Carl Trujillo, according to unofficial election results. The district includes parts of Santa Fe, Rio Arriba and Sandoval counties and all of Los Alamos county. Although the secre-

Legislative Seat Results

tary of state website showed a red checkmark next to the race indicating all votes were counted just after midnight, vote totals from Rio Arriba did not appear to be available.

Both candidates faced allegations of misconduct during the blistering primary campaign. Laura Bonar, a lobbyist for Animal Protection Voters, accused Trujillo of offering her a favorable vote on legislation she was pushing during the 2014 legislative session in exchange for sex. Another lobbyist and a state representative backed up Bonar’s claims in interviews with The New Mexican; Trujillo fired back, saying the allegations were politically motivated and potentially connected to Romero.

Meanwhile, state Auditor Wayne Johnson and the board of the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities, where Romero worked as executive director, announced in March separate

for baseball tickets and a $28 glass of WhistlePig whiskey—funds the coalition deducted from money it owed Romero after she left its employ.

In other Northern New Mexico House races, Los Alamos County Councilor Christine Chandler led one-time Democratic nominee Peter Sheehey by about 9 percentage points in District 43, according to unofficial results. The winner of that contest will face Republican Lisa Shin for a seat left open by Democrat Stephanie Garcia Richard’s successful run for state land commissioner.

In District 41, Susan Herrera appeared headed for an upset of 12-term incumbent Debbie Rodella. Unofficial results had Herrera leading Rodella by nearly 12 percent to take the seat.

The winner of the Democratic primary will have a seat in the Legislature next year; there is no Republican running in that district. (JP)

already in place and one new judge is lining up.

The judge assigned to the court’s Division 2 spends most of his or her time in Rio Arriba County hearing cases at the Tierra Amarilla courthouse.

The governor appointed Judge Jason Lidyard to the spot in April after sending its former holder, Jennifer Attrep, to the Court of Appeals. Voters chose him with about 60 percent compared to 40 percent for Matthew Eric Jackson.

The race was in some ways a third rematch for the pair. Both applied for a previous court vacancy and did not make the short list that went to the governor. Then, for the most recent vacancy, both applied, but the bipartisan nominating commission sent just one name to the governor: Lidyard’s.

In Division 5, housed at the courthouse in downtown Santa Fe, three challengers qualified for the ballot against sitting Judge Greg Shaffer. The incumbent narrowly lost to Maria Sanchez-Gagne, who herself narrowly lost the race for First Judicial District Attorney in 2016.

Above: Maria Sanchez-Gagne beat a sitting judge and two others in the three-county race for District Court. Below: Judge David Segura hung on to his spot in the Santa Fe County Magistrate Court.

While Shaffer earned a majority of votes in Los Alamos County, Sanchez-Gange led in Santa Fe and Rio Arriba with early and absentee totals.

She finished with 34 percent of votes, according to unofficial results.

She campaigned on her experience as prosector both in the attorney general’s office at the district attorney’s, as well as her bilingual skills. Plus she brings much-needed gender and ethnic diversity to the court, which presently is comprised of seven men and two women and is largely Anglo.

Santa Fe County’s magistrate rac-

es were lopsided. As presiding Judge David Segura faced a challenge from former bail bondsman Jerry Gonzales, Segura handily won with about 78 percent of votes.

Meanwhile, two men who vied for an open seat on the court cut it close, according to early reports. John Rysanek edged out Sam Sena with about 52 percent of votes. Rysanek is a lawyer who works in the intake division of the local district attorney’s office, while Sena is a former State Police officer who lost his job after admitting he falsfied documents.

COURTESY ADAN MENDOZA

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza inches past Linda Ortiz in four-way race

Adan Mendoza can stop missing the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department. He’s headed back there.

A majority of Democratic Party voters in the county wanted Mendoza to take the reins of the sheriff’s department from termed-out Sheriff Robert Garcia.

Since no declared candidates from other parties are set to appear on the November general election ballot, he’s the sheriff-elect. He inherits a department with 2,000 square miles of jurisdiction, including parts of the cities of Española in the north and Edgewood in the south.

Early, unofficial totals put Mendoza at about 43 percent of votes compares to 36 percent for Linda Ortiz, with Manny Anaya taking about 14 percent and Leonard Romero finishing with 7 percent.

All four candidates for the post worked in local law enforcement before retiring, but Mendoza’s depature was the most recent. He mostly left because of changes to the state’s

Land Commissioner

retirement rules, and he wants to return.

“I’m young,” the 45-year-old told SFR during the campaign. “I have a lot of fire in me.”

Mendoza took an early fundraising lead and appeared to have support in various corners of the county.

“I voted for Adan,” said Marguerite Gutierrez from Cuyamungue when she emerged from the polling place at the Pojoaque Valley Middle School. “I know Manny, and I know Linda, but I thought Adan would do a better job because of his experience.”

At Turquoise Trail Elementary School, Southside voter Rejeana Mascarenas tells SFR she voted for Mendoza because she works with one of his children.

Mendoza has supervised all the divisions in the department and holds a bachelor’s degree in criminology from UNM. He says he wants to start a version of the city’s Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion program in the county. (JAG)

Garcia Richard appears to take VeneKlasen on a thin margin Stephanie Garcia Richard might have squeezed past two others to earn the right to go on to what promises to be a general election battleground for the next New Mexico Commissioner of Public Lands.

If she hung on to tenuous lead in early returns, in November, she faces two men who have previously held the seat: Libertarian Aubrey Dunn, the incumbent and former Republican, and still-a-Republican Pat Lyons.

Garcia Richard—who had to choose between running for the statewide post and seeking re-election to her legislative seat that covers Los Alamos and parts of Santa Fe, Rio Arriba and Sandoval counties—edged out Garrett VeneKlasen, who was the leading fundraiser in the race and

Santa Fe County Commission District 3 Rudy Garcia leads Dems for southern commission seat Rudy Nelson Garcia grew up on Airport Road before annexation and has worked at Santa Fe County for 27 years.

Now he’s hoping to help run the county from an elected position.

Unlike many candidates who claimed victory in Tuesday’s Democratic primary election, Garcia’s big battle lies ahead.

Former commissioner Mike Anaya, of Stanley, says he’s aiming to get on the general election ballot for the county’s District 3 seat to provide some stiff competition.

Anaya, who held the seat for eight years before term limits prevented him from seeking a third, plans to run as an Independent rather than a Democrat, which

got the endorsement of two major conservation groups. In the statewide race with the tightest margin of victory, as of midnight she had 40 percent of votes statewide compared to his 37. State Sen. George Munoz saw about 23 percent.

Garcia Richard threw her name into the proverbial cowboy hat after former Land Commissioner Ray Powell tapped out of his campaign for health reasons and endorsed her bid. She’s a teacher, and argued she brings a perspective from the classroom, where the office’s revenue is supposed to help the most.

Munoz has two years remaining on his Senate term representing the area around Gallup. VeneKlasen is director of the New Mexico Wildlife Federation.

The Land Commissioner’s office oversees millions of acres that are leased for oil and gas production, grazing and other uses. Garcia Richard, who carried

is why he wasn’t on the ballot today. His brother Robert Anaya most recently held the seat for two terms.

The territory for the county’s largest geographic district spans from the southwestern edge of the city of Santa Fe all the way to the southern edge of the county and includes La Cienega, Galisteo, Madrid and Edgewood.

Garcia earned about 55 percent of votes, according to early, unofficial returns posted by the secretary of state.

The next closest contender was Filandro Anaya, who brought in about 26 percent. Donald Reece finished with 19 percent.

“I just appreciate everyone that assisted and helped out with the democratic process,” Garcia tells SFR as the returns rolled in, and just after the conclusion of a meeting of the Santa Fe School Board, where he is a member.

Garcia said he’s not sure that Anaya will end up on the ballot in the fall, but says he’ll be ready when and if that happens. He says he believes he came out on top in the race because he’s the most qualified. While Filandro Anaya, no close relation to Mike, is on the County Planning Commission, for example, he’s never held elected office. Garcia works in the county manager’s office and has overseen a number of key county projects in his nearly three decades on the payroll there. (JAG)

a majority of votes in all but nine of the state’s 33 counties, would be the first woman to hold the post.

She pledged on the campaign trail to take immediate steps to require the capture of methane in oil and gas development on state lands, even if the state Legislature won’t do it for the whole of New Mexico. She sat on the House budget committee and is familiar with the work she’ll need to do as the land commissioner.

Before Election Day, she told SFR she was confident she had the chops to win the final battle.

“I have a history of standing up to well-funded opposition and can come out well,” she said. “I have a strong ground game.” (JAG) Aaron Cantú, Roan Lee Plunket, Eva Rosenfeld and Alex De Vore contributed reporting.

FOREST STEWARDS GUILD | E. CADIENTE

Crews Cut Forest closure also forces cancellation of some trail work plans

BY ELIZABETH MILLER e l i z a b e t h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

W

ildfire danger closed the Santa Fe and Cibola national forests to the public, so some youth trail crews are looking at the potential to instead spend the summer building picnic tables and staffing road blockades instead of maintaining trails and restoring wildlife habitat. Trail work planned by the Fat Tire Society on upper portions of the Winsor Trail was similarly derailed.

So far, a total of seven projects have been affected this month, according to Bruce Hill, public affairs officer for the Santa Fe National Forest. Some day-long projects could be rescheduled for July or August, while longer wilderness-based projects may not make it back on the calendar this year.

The Forest Stewards Guild’s youth crews program, run in partnership with the US Forest Service, has hired 16- to 19-year-olds to complete conservation projects for two decades. This summer, they had 41 crew members in training for work to limit erosion, repair fences and maintain wildlife water sources when the news came out that the national forests would be closing.

The closure went into effect at 8 am Friday June 1. Forest Supervisor James Melonas cited widespread noncompliance with a ban on campfires and record-setting conditions for fire danger as cause for banning public access to the forest until monsoon storms bring sufficient rain to lower fire danger. The markers to predict the risk that a fire will take off and burn hot and fast have reached historic levels,

Crews working to improve the Big Tesuque Trail put what they learned into action.

matching years of notable fires like 2011, the year of the Pacheco and Las Conchas fires, and 2002, when the Ponil Complex fire burned 92,000 acres near Cimarron.

Fuel moisture levels are at or below 5 percent. This closure marks the first since 2013.

Each of the six Forest Stewards Guild youth crews goes to a different National Forest ranger district, leaving six district rangers to decide how to redirect these crews, says Eytan Krasilovsky of the Forest Stewards Guild. Those crews now may find themselves staffing road blocks, shadowing patrols, maintaining the flagging tape and signs, or otherwise informing the public that the gates are closed.

“Their work plans really vary, but it’s definitely affecting them and they’re more limited now in what they can do,” Krasilovsky says, “until the rains come.”

The crew based in the Santa Fe National Forest’s Española Ranger District was able to get an exception to continue work as planned—which is a relief, says Dakota Wagner, a North Carolina college student working as the crew trainer.

“Being outside and connecting with the outdoors in a way where you’re taking

responsibility for it is really important,” she says. “A lot of people, I think, take for granted the natural spaces that we have, and they don’t realize all the work that goes into keeping those spaces clean or just available for people to use.”

That sentiment feels especially poignant given that the public was shut out after national forest personnel counted 84 abandoned campfires over Memorial Day weekend.

The closure canceled Santa Fe Fat Tire Society volunteers’ plans to repair an eroded half-mile portion of the Winsor Trail near the Norski trails for National Trails Day on Saturday June 2, and another project on a different section of the trail says club president Brent Bonwell. The mountain biking club’s trail crew volunteers cumulatively log an annual average of more than 2,000 hours of work, Bonwell says, adding that that’s the equivalent to a full-time employee. The work done to clear downed trees from trails in a burn area drives home a clear message about the closure.

“The trees that were killed in the Pacheco Fire, the wind just brought them down like pick-up sticks,” he says. Already,

they sawed through up to 500 trees in an effort to re-open trails damaged in that fire, then an April windstorm brought hundreds more down. Wildfire-caused deadfall and badly eroded trails can take years to restore, Bonwell points out.

“It’s much better to have the forest closed for a few weeks than to have it burn and have a tremendous amount of work to do recovering from the fire,” he says. “So we’d like to be out there, but we understand the need for the closure.”

Meanwhile, the state’s largest wildfire burning now is the Ute Park Fire, between Eagle Nest and Cimarron. It has topped 36,000 acres and was 25 percent contained as of Monday evening.

Santa Fe National Forest staff have also responded to at least two small fires.

The agency reported a half-acre fire near the Glorieta Lookout had been held to a few smoldering areas in the ponderosa pines and grass, while a one-acre fire east of the Gorham Scout Camp near Chimayó reported Monday evening was 0 percent contained at roughly noon Tuesday.

Closed: Bandelier National Monument backcountry trails, Cibola National Forest, Departments of Defense and Energy lands, Hyde Memorial State Park, Los Alamos County property, select Pecos National Historical Park trails and areas, Santa Fe National Forest, Valles Caldera National Preserve backcountry Open: The city-owned Dale Ball Trail system, St. John’s Trailhead at the base of the Forest Service’s Atalaya Trail (though Atalaya Trail is managed by the Forest Service and closed), La Piedra Open Space Trail, and Dorothy Stewart Trail System. State forests are open but under fire restrictions that prohibit all campfires and open burning.

We just can’t seem to get enough. Like, they play here a lot. We get it, though—this town loves combinations of things, and Ozo’s deft and seamless merging of classic Latin sounds, hip-hop, funk and even reggae makes them the kind of band people struggle to describe well, but that gets the people dancing. Expect horns, sexy bass lines, killer lyricism and a head-bobbing spectacle honed over years of shows and albums, but also a band that’s remained on the fringe throughout its career.

ART OPENING FRI/8

A Breath of Fresh Art GalleryFRITZ energizes the Santa Fe scene Probably the first things that come to mind when you think of Santa Fe art are Canyon Road and traditional Native American-inspired sculptures and imagery. Maybe those classic New Mexico landscapes, too.

Think again. GalleryFRITZ holds its grand opening this Friday and aims to create an entirely new and engaging narrative in contemporary art. More than 17 artists, working with such diverse mediums as ceramics, African textiles, recycled steel, wool felt, linen and sugar sacks, have contributed to the first exhibit, and the results are spectacular.

Sales director George Brugnone was warm and chatty as she showed me around the gallery—and for once I didn’t feel intrusive, as I often have at other art venues. As someone who usually doesn’t understand the supposed deep meanings behind contemporary art, I found myself fascinated by nearly everything I saw.

Governor’s Arts Award-winner and veteran artist Paul Shapiro, whose landscapes can be recognized by his broad brushstrokes, has composed something entirely different from his

usual body of work this time. While “fishing in heaven,” a term he uses for meditation, Shapiro came up with the idea of using acrylic paint on linen. He thus created soapy-looking swirls on black backgrounds that leave one to ponder just what they are.

Paula Castillo, whose work can also be seen at the New Mexico Museum of Art, has rendered what looks like a pair of pants comprised of small steel circles, and an intricate headdress-like object. I was sorely tempted to reach out and touch it—and had to resist the urge again on the second floor, where Gary Goldberg has converted photographs into felted images the size of large rugs. My personal favorite: a landscape viewed from above, done in shades of gray.

Of course, there’s plenty more to see at GalleryFRITZ, so if you’ve grown familiar with Santa Fe galleries, take heart—this new space manages to be humorous, intriguing, and yes, even fun. (Roan Lee-Plunket) GALLERY FRITZ GRAND OPENING 7 pm Friday June 8. Free.

First Tracks XL IV: ‘Citizens on Patrol’

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

I

f the emails I get that tell me I’m a monster for sticking to one topic, band, artist, whatever at a time (and also I’m paying attention to music wrong) are worth worrying about (they aren’t, but whatevs), we can certainly find a workaround in suggesting a whole mess of jams over the next week. Like a roundup, if you will. And you will. I’m trying to find a little something for everyone here. Enjoy.

COURTESY ITCHY-O

Insert yourself into this shit

The Bohemiacs 7 pm Thursday June 7. $2 for non-members Starlight Lounge at Montecito, 500 Rodeo Road, 428-7777 Believe it or not, our knowledge of accordion genius Romanovsky goes back a full 20 years to the days of now-defunct Shakespeare in Santa Fe. You may even remember him from the days of Design Center eatery Pastability (also defunct) where he’d accordion diners up while rollerskating. Either way—and setting aside how we just realized that time is a cruel bitch—Romanovsky joins forces with vocalist and violinist Hilary Schacht for worldly Bohemian tunes that we’re all but sure will have French-ish influences.

Susan Hyde Holmes of jazz act Alpha Cats will be there, too, bassin’ it up.

Boris and the Salt Licks 8 pm Friday June 8. Free.

Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery, 2791 Agua Fria St., 303-3808 It’s been a little while since Americana

A single night can’t contain Denver’s Itchy-O. Catch ‘em at Meow Wolf both Saturday and Sunday.

musician Boris McCutcheon brought out the Salt Licks, but if other emails we’ve gotten are also worth their salt (swish), this show oughta be packed as hell. Dude’s pretty big in the Netherlands, so …

Tonic Jazz Showcase 9:30 pm Friday June 8. Free.

Tonic, 103 E Water St., 982-1189 If you’re more of a late-nighter, this is a good bet and features ragtime aficionado Westin McDowell bringing his guitar into the fray with jazzy experimentalists Casey Anderson (bass) and Loren Bienvenu (drums), plus Sarah Mohr on vocals.

Itchy-O 7 pm Saturday and Sunday June 9 and 10. $25-$30. Meow Wolf, 1352 Rufina Circle, 395-6369 Totally bizarre and kickass Denver 50-piece (yeah, there are effing 50 of them) Itchy-O brings its innovative per-

cussion-heavy electronic explosion back to Meow Wolf for two nights of insanity.

See, the last show was so over-the-top and excellent that a single night simply couldn’t hold the return of this theatrical stage act. With elements of funk, punk, techno, Latin rhythms and good old-fashioned weirdness, this one’s for the dancers who are looking to expand their horizons; a pseudo-spiritual event unstuck from the constraints of time and space. Or something.

Mad Pow with Zeta, Patema and Grave Gods 7:30 pm Sunday June 10. $10.

Zephyr Community Arts Studio, 1520 Center Drive, Ste. 2 Local studio The Decibel Foundry takes over the little DIY space that could (and can) for a night of proggy acts from both near and far. We’re loving Venezuela’s Zeta, a dreamy and mathy post-punk quartet that reminds us of

Militia Group Records-era dreamscape levels of instrumentation and melody— hard-hitting and dense but heavy in all the right places. Denver’s Mad Pow wows as well with a futuristic take on postpunk that reminds us a little bit of Yes if they’d never been owners of a lonely heart. Albuquerque’s Patema fits in nicely with a metal ballad style heavy on storytelling and shredding guitars and, for those longing for a more traditional (and evil) metal style, Santa Fe’s Grave Gods (members of Fields of Elysium and Of All Forms) slay so hard it’s insane.

We’re talking blast beats, breakdowns, pig squeals and guttural growls in the vein of Converge and their ilk. Grave Gods’ Wolves Unworthy EP is one of the most brutal local things we’ve heard in some time. Expect local metal fans to swarm this mother, because damn, they know how to support.

You Knew Me When 8 pm Tuesday June 12. Free.

Cowgirl, 319 S Guadalupe St., 982-2565 By the time we loop back around to the eve of another well-crafted issue of SFR, the dulcet tones of Ouray, Colorado-based husband-and-wife duo You Knew Me When oughta help bring you back down from the metal high. We’re not saying they’re sleepy or anything, more like adorable and talented. Formerly from Nashville, You Knew Me When blends indie rock, country and folk for the kind of thing Santa Fe just loves. We’re loving it, too and thinking a swirly frozen margarita might pair well with the thumping bass and vocal harmonies.

I’ve been married to my husband for two years. Five months into our relationship (before we got married), he confessed that he was an adult baby. I was so grossed out, I was literally ill. (Why would this great guy want to be like this?) I told him he would have to choose: diapers or me. He chose me. I believed him and married him. Shortly before the birth of our child, I found out that he’d been looking at diaper porn online. I lost it. He apologized and said he’d never look at diaper porn again. Once I was free to have sex again after the birth, it was like he wasn’t into it. When I asked what the deal was, he told me he wasn’t into sex because diapers weren’t involved. I broke down, and he agreed to talk to a counselor. But on the day we were supposed to go, he was mad about every little thing I did and then said he wasn’t going! I went crazy and called his mom and told her everything, and she said she found a diaper under his bed when he was 7! After this crisis, he agreed to work things out, but then I found adult-size diapers in the house—and not for the first time! I took a picture and sent it to him, and he told me that he was tired of me controlling him and he is going to do this when he wants.

He also said he was mad at me for telling his mom. I told him no, absolutely not, he cannot do this. Then I found adult-size diapers in the house again this morning and freaked out. He says he never wants to discuss diapers with me again, and I’m afraid he might choose them over me! Please give me advice on how to make him understand that this is not him! This is who he chooses to be! And he doesn’t have to be this way!

-Married A Disgusting Diaper Lover First, MADDL, let’s calmly discuss this with a shrink.

“There’s a fair bit of controversy over whether people can suppress fetishistic desires like this—and whether it’s healthy to ask them to do so,” said Dr. David Ley, a clinical psychologist, author, and AASECT-certified sex therapist.

“Personally, I believe in some cases, depending on the support of their environment and personal relationships, it is possible, but only when these desires are relatively mild in intensity.”

Your husband’s interest in diapers—which would seem to go all the way back to at least age 7—can’t be described as mild.

“Given the apparent strength and persistence of her husband’s interest, I think it unlikely that suppression could ever be successful,” said Dr. Ley. “In this case, I think MADDL’s desire for her husband to have sexual desires she agrees with in order for her to be married to him is a form of sexual extortion, i.e., ‘If you love me and want to be with me, you’ll give up this sexual interest that I find disgusting.’ Without empathy, mutual respect, communication, unconditional love, and willingness to negotiate and accommodate compromises and win-win solutions, this couple is doomed, regardless of diapers under the bed.”

Now let’s bring in a voice you rarely hear when diaper fetishists are being discussed: an actual diaper fetishist.

“The common misconception with ABDL (adult baby diaper lovers) is that they are into inappropriate things—like having an interest in children—and this couldn’t be more wrong,” said Pup Jackson, a twentysomething diaper lover and kink educator. “AB is not always sexual. Sometimes it’s a way for a person to disconnect from their adult life and become someone else. With DLs, they aren’t necessarily into age play—they enjoy diapers and the way they feel, much like people enjoy rubber, Lycra, or other materials. To understand her husband, MADDL needs to ask questions about why her husband enjoys diapers and figure out how to deal with

it—because a lot of people want/need these kinds of outlets in their life.”

Okay, MADDL, now it’s time for me to share my thoughts with you, but—Christ almighty—I hardly know where to begin.

“Great guys” can be into diapers; this is not who your husband “chooses to be,” since people don’t choose their kinks any more than they choose their sexual orientation; outing your husband to his mother was unforgivable and could ultimately prove to be a fatal-to-your-marriage violation of trust; a counselor isn’t going to be able to reach into your husband’s head and yank out his kink. (“I absolutely hate that therapists are seen as sexual enforcers who are supposed to carve away any undesirable sexual interests and make people ‘normal,’” said Dr. Ley.) You’re clearly not interested in understanding your husband’s kink, per Pup Jackson’s advice, nor are you open to working out an accommodation that allows your husband to explore his kink on his own, per Dr. Ley’s advice.

Instead you’ve convinced yourself that if you pitch a big enough fit, your husband will choose a spouse who makes him feel terrible about himself over a kink that gives him pleasure. And that’s not how this is going to play out.

Your husband told you he was into diapers before he married you—he laid his kink cards on the table at five months, long before you scrambled your DNA together—and he backed down when you freaked out. He may have thought he could choose you over his kink, MADDL, but now he knows what Dr. Ley could’ve told you two before the wedding: Suppressing a kink just isn’t possible. So if you can’t live with the diaper lover you married—if you can’t accept his kink, allow him to indulge it on his own, and refrain from blowing up when you stumble onto any evidence—do that diaper-loving husband of yours a favor and divorce him.

I’m a 33-year-old man, and for years I’ve practiced edging. Recently I’ve experimented with long-term edges, where I’ll withhold coming for days or weeks while still maintaining a daily masturbation practice. I love living on that horny edge, and I’ve even learned to love the ache in my balls. But is this safe? Am I setting myself up for prostate/testicular trouble down the road?

-Priapus Precipice A study conducted by researchers from Boston University School of Public Health and Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health found that men who masturbated at least 21 times per month—masturbated and ejaculated—were at lower risk of developing prostate cancer than men who ejaculated less than 21 times per month (“Ejaculation Frequency and Risk of Prostate Cancer,” European Urology). Read the study, PP, weigh the slightly increased risks against the immediate (and horny) rewards, and make an informed (and horny) choice.

with John Sherdon

COURTESY JOHN SHERDON

Maybe you know John Sherdon from his annual summer Chama Patio Sessions series at Rio Chama Steakhouse, or maybe you simply know him because you’re a well-informed local DJ aficionado. Either way, Sherdon’s been honing his work on the decks for nearly 20 years. He takes over the newly opened and instantly popular Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery for Root Down this Saturday June 9 alongside longtime local collaborator DJ Mayrant and New York City-based DJ Jim Stevens (7 pm. Free. 2791 Agua Fria St., 303-3808).

The potentially ongoing series should suit fans of all musical styles, electronic or otherwise. (Alex De Vore) How long have you been DJing?

Since 1999. I was into music as a teenager and I used to make mixtapes and mix CDs for friends. A close friend brought his turntables and mixer over to my house one summer, and I started playing my friends’ records. You have that moment where it clicks and you get two records to sound great together.

Were you always into electronic music?

I was listening to electronic music probably since I was 15 or 16, but I was also into ska—I’d go to ska shows in Albuquerque, like Pietasters or Reel Big Fish or Mighty Mighty Bosstones—but I’ve never really liked pigeonholing myself into one genre. I love classical music; I grew up listening to Yo Yo Ma and playing the cello. I liked ’60s and ’70s rock, Motown—I listen to everything. And I found this connection to electronic music because it was a way you could incorporate all these other genres into a danceable beat.

Experience Agave’s fresh new menu

that reflects our love for local ingredients with bold clean flavors.

Will people familiar with Chama Patio Sessions be familiar with Root Down? How does it compare, if at all?

I would say most of my music is under the main umbrella of house music. It breaks off. Sometimes I’ll play deeper, sometimes more techy, sometimes true, upbeat house. … It might be more progressive. They all have a different sound to them, and I don’t know if we really need to label all these sounds into these sub-genres. I listen to artists and labels that I love, that I’ve listened to over the years, and if I like the way it sounds I’ll pick up the needle and drop it on a record, listen to the bass, listen to the hook, the breakdown; if I connect, it’s something that’s representative of me. We’re figuring that space out a little bit.

[Tumbleroot is] known for acoustic performances, more in the vein of folk and rock and, really, I’m trying to put in music that actually has some of those elements along with an electronic beat. People who come to hear us play, they know what they’re gonna get, but I’m trying to connect with an audience that’s already there by adding in some of those elements.

URRENTS New Media Festival is Santa Fe’s most can’t-miss contemporary art event of the year.

What started out as a straightforward— albeit ground-breakingly rad—new media art show now includes workshops, electronic DJ sets, partnerships with Meow Wolf and galleries like Axle Contemporary and so, so much more.

This year, CURRENTS partners with Futurition, a new citywide event comprising panel discussions, live music and art demonstrations, multimedia performances, docent tours and even educational programs for local schools during the regular school year.

Phew. See? It’s a lot.

Thankfully, the main show, which opens Friday, still occupies the darkened, cavernous-yet-cozy interior of El Museo Cultural, a space which invites meandering, and has plenty of little rooms and private-feeling areas that lend themselves to prolonged, private contemplation with art that’s not always immediately approachable.

The show now spreads out over more than a month (its first official event, Inner Orbit, was in partnership with form & concept Gallery; it opened in late May and runs through July 21.) To help you navigate all the action, event organizers built an app; download it for an at-a-glance guide to highlights of an event that can get a wee bit overwhelming.

Graphic novelist Jeffrey Wilson has blended compelling narrative with beautifully rendered illustrations by Eliseu Gouveia for The Instinct for Cooperation: A Graphic Novel Conversation with Noam Chomsky. Wilson’s specialty has been social justice for some time. In the novel, which is based on conversations between the author and Chomsky, the latter comes across as approachable and fearlessly honest. His fierce criticisms of war and corporate greed have made Chomsky, who has taught at MIT since 1955, one of the country’s most well-known public intellectuals. In easy-tofollow, plain English discussions of issues like Occupy Wall Street and book-burning, a necessarily fascinating dialogue emerges, almost like a documentary set to page.

Graphic novels are typically much more nuanced than their comic book cousins. Epic showdowns of good vs. evil, though, come in many forms, and putting themes of social justice into an illustrated format is ingenious, a way of making big concepts both accessible and surprisingly entertaining.

Pomp and Fizz wine, and can only be redeemed by the addition of fresh juice. No luck with this one.

But Hadidi says a beer and wine list is set to premiere by mid-June, and he plans to include bottlings from local New Mexican breweries and wines that are local, Californian and French in origin. I am a little dismayed that a more Mediterranean wine list isn’t in the cards for Café Mimosa. Given the level of passion and inspiration behind the food, if you have the means to craft an exciting beverage program that comes tailor-made to pair with your cuisine, why not take it as far as you can?

Still, I appreciate Hadidi’s interest in the local beer and wine scene, and his commitment to locally sourcing foods.

The restaurant currently works with Taos Family Farms and plans to explore further partnerships through the Santa Fe Farmers Market. In fact, direct access to seasonally available food was what originally drew Hadidi to Santa Fe in the first place.

“When I see gray buildings in New York, I don’t think of fresh; I think of quick,” he muses over a cup of coffee. “When I think of the mountains of New Mexico, I think

differently. That’s my deepest heart, the local farmers—we were local farmers where I grew up, in the Mediterranean, in Algeria. We were so used to eating so fresh.

All our childhood we never went grocery shopping. My grandparents had cattle and fruit trees, green beans and potatoes, and it kind of stuck in my head.”

Lots of good food stuck with Hadidi, who plans to incorporate all his diverse influences into the aforementioned rotating specials. Think shakshouka, a dish of eggs poached in a stew of tomato, peppers and chile, based off his mother’s recipe. He plans on featuring Cuban dishes as well.

“I lived in New York for 25 years, in Park Slope, and there was a little Cuban restaurant there. It was delicious to have spiced black beans and chorizo and poached eggs,” Hadidi tells SFR. “I’ve never forgotten it.” His Havana omelet ($11) includes just those ingredients, and is a direct homage to his appreciation for Cuban restaurant culture in New York.

I’m excited by his enthusiasm, which he expresses while I gnosh on cucumber and hummus toast ($7), served on pita bread with feta cheese, black olives and tomato. The hummus is excellent, creamy and finely textured, and I end up scraping the plate. It’s a far cry from the hearty eggs Benedict I enjoyed the day before—much lighter and fresher. The menu, while slightly abridged from my previous visit, contained enough options to satisfy the heaviest to the lightest appetites.

Café Mimosa remains a small, independently owned restaurant with great food, but with a skeletal staff running operations, it’ll be interesting to see its evolution play out. If Hadidi can deliver on his aspirations, however, the future looks bright.

hile I have general doubts about the concept of brunch— I’m more of a breakfast girl, myself—I have high hopes for the future of Café Mimosa, the new spot that opened in the space once occupied by Back Street Bistro on Camino de los Marquez.

Café Mimosa is dedicated to breakfast, lunch and everything in between. The décor looks worlds better, clean and breezily lit by afternoon sunlight drifting in from large windows, giving the place an open, spacious vibe. With soft grey wood tables and spare white walls, the new spot has a minimalist, almost industrial feel.

Two chalkboards hang empty on the walls, but Chef Alex Hadidi plans to fill them by June 10 with rotating specials designed to supplement the set menu and reflect the global influences that shape his cooking. After all, Café Mimosa was opened with an eye towards expressing

international tastes from locally sourced foods, and as the outgrowth of a partnership between San Francisco-based Lisa Dion, a travel writer and public relations strategist at McCall Media, and Hadidi, a French-Algerian chef who worked at Le Cordon Bleu in Atlanta and Tribeca Grill in New York City.

The major set piece on the menu is classic French cuisine, but Hadidi borrows from many of the countries bordering the Mediterranean for dishes like a Moroccan lamb top tagine ($18) alongside Samantha’s smoked eggs Benedict ($12) and shorba, a North African chicken and orzo soup ($7). I enjoyed the latter two on a Tuesday morning visit and, by noon, the place was packed and service was expectedly hectic, though the food remained satisfying.

The shorba struck a well-executed balance between warm spices and hints of cooling mint while the hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict definitely had the proper silky texture and slight lemony flavor and the salmon was light and fresh.

I wasn’t as crazy about my mimosa which, for $8, wasn’t particularly sparkling, tasting flat and sugary instead.

Truth be told, mimosas tend to annoy me in general. They’re usually overpriced iterations of the cheapest possible sparkling

+ PAINSTAKING

There’s no more accurate synopsis of Australian filmmaker Jennifer Peedom’s film Mountain than its title; it’s about mountains, broadly. Between aerial alpine shots and the droning narration of Willem Dafoe, the film opts not to focus in on any particular locale or storyline, but instead attempts to answer the sweeping questions, “What are mountains?” and “Why have humans chosen to enter them?”

This is an ambitious goal, surely, but the lack of specificity makes for not only narrative fatigue but ethical pitfalls. Mountain kicks off with a brief history of the human ethos towards mountains, beginning with an era when the mountains contained only the “holy or hostile” and people dared not enter. The script favors the collective “we” voice: “We insulated ourselves away from nature—the mountains called us back.” Now, it says, we are drawn to the wild; or at least, a special class of adventurers among us is. No matter that many people live and work in the outdoors, and have done so for a long time—not just as an oasis from cushy modernity.

When the film refers to “humans,” it refers to a wealthy, predominantly white leisure class, and the history it deems universal is more accurately the arc of Western Romantic thought. Random

AND OCCASIONALLY SPELLBINDING CINEMATOGRAPHY - NARRATIVE IS VAGUE AT BEST, OBTUSE AT WORST

shots of Buddhist monks don’t do much to change that. The film does briefly make reference to the “imperial aim” of mountaineers: to “grid, girdle, and name the upper world; to bring it and its peoples into the realm of the known and the owned.”

Yet the writers encounter no cognitive dissonance between referencing these “peoples,” and the repeated thesis that humans exclusively avoided the mountains up until this point.

Mountain is at its most compelling during its athletic sequences, when mountaineers perform dazzling calisthenics against colossal landscapes.

These scenes take on a humor and geometric artistry beyond the majestic National Geographic-esque landscape shots one comes to expect.

The shrewd decision to feature the music of the Australian Chamber Orchestra makes these moments even more lovely. In one particularly clever sequence, climbers repeatedly plummet off of walls to the end of their ropes to the sound of a

rapid string section. The symphony concludes, and two mountaineers smoke together as if sitting on a stoop, except their legs dangle thousands of feet in the air.

The film takes on land degradation as its central moral stand against the mountaineering industry, but this message is never reconciled with either the valorization of the explorers themselves or the film’s final declaration: that in the end, the mountains will always outlast us, as narrated over shots of the land’s natural processes. The viewer is primed by the sight of so many human bodies to fully grasp the mountain’s vitality, how they breathe. Here, what could instill awe is undercut by trite generalizing, and if not for the orchestra might be more effective on mute.

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY

+ EVEN WHEN IT AIN’T GREAT, STAR WARS IS STILL PRETTY FUN

- LOW STAKES; BORING HUMOR

Every time it seems young Han Solo is about to face some overwhelming and perilous situation in the newest Star Wars offshoot film, a little voice in the back of our head says, “Yeah, but we know it’s gonna be OK.” We know he’ll live, we know he’ll fight another day, we know that no matter what else happens, he’ll one day rescue a princess, fall in love, have a smarmy goth kid who goes full Sith and on and on.

And there’s the rub, even if it’s from a film that famously lost its original directors and brought on Ron “Willow” Howard to reshoot a hefty number of scenes.

In Solo: A Star Wars Story, we get the lowdown on what made Han Solo Han Solo, from his early adventures and his surname to his lost love and iconic friendships with that Kashyyykian champion himself Chewbacca and the super-sexy Lando Calrissian. But a significant chunk of the story falls flat under our preconceived notions about the character, leaving audiences to force-chuckle at that irritating movie trope wherein someone says something like, “You should fight for something more than yourself!” We know, of course, that he will one day.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

gling and thievery to try and make a buck and get back to her. Under the wing of the criminal Beckett (Woody Harrelson, Cheers), Han learns and grows and evolves and blah blah blah.

Donald Glover’s turn as Lando becomes the most exciting part of the film as Glover nails that Billy Dee Williams vocal affect and plants the seeds of self-preservation we know from The Empire Strikes Back. Harrelson shines as well as the unscrupulous space burglar with shifting allegiances and priorities. Clarke, meanwhile, feels a tad goofy and underused, a romantic interest whose backstory becomes “Don’t worry about it.” But Han’s doing-it-for-the-girl thing seems a fine enough motivation as any, even if a more complete idea of his guilt over not saving Q’ira is poorly explored; Chewie remains his most important relationship.

And it’s middling low-stakes fun through the galaxy, though in comparison to 2016’s Rogue One—a story with characters we hadn’t forged feelings about a million years ago—the Star Wars world has felt much more fresh and intriguing. Everything here is tempered by what we already know and lacks a certain drama because of that. Oh, and enough with the sassy robots, Star Wars. It’s starting to feel stale.

RBG

+ FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING - IT’S NOT REALLY A “REAL” MOVIE, NOW, IS IT?

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 one-line 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’ laid-back, 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. (ADV) Jean Cocteau Cinema, Violet Crown, Regal, R, 119 min.

+ FASCINATING AND IMPORTANT - SOME INTERVIEWS FEEL SUPERFLUOUS

Now in her mid-80s, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is enjoying a bit of late-in-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. It’s a tale of breaking boundaries and emotional resonance wherein Ginsburg is proven to be not only a staunch ally to women, but to men, people of color and indeed the American underdog. Through interviews with friends, family, former clients and current colleagues, a sense of deep admiration from all sides of the aisle emerges proving that even those who might disagree with Ginsburg can’t help but be drawn to her grace and enamored with her style and 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 re-learn) 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. (ADV) Violet Crown, PG, 98 min.

+ 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 tyingplotlines-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 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.

Rob Brezsny

Week of June 6th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you would be wise to ruffle and revise your relationship with time. It would be healthy for you to gain more freedom from its relentless demands; to declare at least some independence from its oppressive hold on you; to elude its push to impinge on every move you make. Here’s a ritual you could do to spur your imagination: Smash a timepiece. I mean that literally. Go to the store and invest $20 in a hammer and alarm clock. Take them home and vociferously apply the hammer to the clock in a holy gesture of pure, righteous chastisement. Who knows? This bold protest might trigger some novel ideas about how to slip free from the imperatives of time for a few stolen hours each week.

seemingly clumsy magic that dispatches a batch of awkward karma. Hooray! Hallelujah! Praise Goo! But now listen to my admonition, Libra: The coming weeks won’t be a good time to toss and turn in your bed all night long thinking about what you might have done differently in the month of May. Honor the past by letting it go.
