LETTERS NEWS, JULY 5:

lives at risk every day to be there when we really need help.

CANDIS McKINZIE VIA FACEBOOK

COVER, JULY 19: “A MORAL CHOICE”

NO GOOD Many problems with the appalling “Moral Choice” article include: 1) “Boyd is Christian”—False. Unitarian Universalists do not believe Jesus is God/ Lord, only human, therefore no reason to follow Judeo-Christian precepts. They keep the feel-good parts.

2) Democratic State Attorney General Balderas is a coyote guarding the henhouse. ... Balderas has deliberately let lapse the deadline for prosecuting serious transgressions in UNM case.

3) Boyd sometimes blesses the aborted fetus. The common understanding of bless is to confer good. The now-dead fetus has not had it good. Boyd killed it. If understanding of bless is to “consecrate,” to whom is the dead baby being consecrated? Not God! 4) Mercenary Boyd says he values the pregnancy. All the way to the bank; [according to an investigation by Operation rescue, up to $16,000] per “hit.”

Follow the money.

5) Boyd is right, biological life begins at conception; he is wrong when he eisegetically says, Biblically, “ensoulment occurs with the first breath outside the womb.”

False. Fetuses are very aware, have emotions and experience great pain. Per the Bible, Boyd’s totally silly. ... See Jeremiah: “Before you were born I dedicated you.”

“ENTRADA TROUBLE”

CELEBRATE DESTRUCTION? Chickasaw poet, novelist and essayist Linda Hogan writes in the essay “Creations:” “The holocaust … began on this continent, with the genocide of tribal people, and with the ongoing war against the natural world. … Fray Diego de Landa tortured and killed the Maya people and burned their books in the alchemical drive of the Spanish to accumulate wealth, turn life into gold, and convert others to their own beliefs. They set into flames entire people, and centuries of remembered and recorded knowledge about the land. It is believed that there were considerable stores of knowledge in these people and in their books, not just history and sacred stories but medical knowledge, a math advanced enough to create the concept of zero, and a highly developed knowledge of astronomy that continues to surprise contemporary astronomers with its intelligence.”

Two thousand miles north the Spanish brought similar behaviors to the Pueblo and other Native Americans in destroying their lives and cultures. The De Vargas Entrada during Fiesta is a celebration of that conquest and destruction. Acknowledging that is a beginning an important step towards healing.

N LLE S-BO VEN

here’s a new room in the Christus St. Vincent emergency department. Different from the other 36 exam rooms and away from the public waiting room, it has several black leather chairs that recline, gray walls that reflect purple in the sunlight, and a flat-screen TV hanging on the wall.

Not everybody is sure what the room is used for.

A few days after the hospital came under fire for releasing a schizophrenic man later shot to death by police last month, St. Vincent spokesman Arturo Delgado invited SFR to examine the space in the emergency department.

Advocates for people with mental illness had been told earlier that the room, part of a renovated ER, was meant to be a dedicated space for incoming patients in crisis to have their mental wellness assesed.

During SFR’s visit, however, Chief Nurse Debbi Honey describes the room’s purpose differently. It’s for patients, she says, but not those arriving. It’s for those leaving.

“This is the room we use for non-acute discharge patients,” Honey tells SFR. “Someone that may need a ride, someone who may need a referral to a service such as [Recovery Santa Fe] to come get them. … [It’s] just a more comfortable place for them to wait for their ride.”

When asked directly whether the room would be used at all to perform evaluative services for patients seeking psychiatric care, Honey reiterated that the room was for people who were on their way out, not in.

Delgado later tells SFR via email that the room was intended “to be a mulitpurpose area” that could be used for “intoxicated patients [to] decompress” and for patients awaiting further treatment or discharge.

“That’s not what we understood the room to be,” says Betty Sisneros Shover, president of the Santa Fe chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. In-

ST E

stead, she says, “We had thought it was a way of separating those with psychiatric issues” while they waited to be evaluated by a crisis counselor.

Research cited by the American Psychiatric Association found that psychiatric patients visiting an emergency room can wait nearly two hours longer to receive care than non-psychiatric patients.

Waiting that long in a sterile room could worsen the symptoms for somebody in the throes of a mental health crisis, according to Tom Starke, chair of the Santa Fe Behavioral Health Alliance and a co-founder of the nonprofit organization Recovery Santa Fe. The new room was supposed to be a solution to that problem.

The confusion indicates a deeper problem between the community that advocates on behalf of people living with mental illness and the largest provider of psychiatric services in Santa Fe. The police shooting of 24-year-old Anthony Benavidez on July 22 amplified voices of dissatisfaction with the psychiatric care offered at St. Vincent and, more broadly, in Santa Fe County.

Following reports in the Santa Fe New Mexican that Benavidez had been released as a patient from St. Vincent a day before the fatal confrontation, “it just brought out a lot of the past experiences of our members taking people who they thought desperately needed care to Christus St. Vincent and having them sort of turned away, saying they’re not a harm to themselves or anyone else,” Starke says. “It hit a nerve in the community.”

The Saturday after the killing, the local NAMI chapter hosted a support meeting for people to come and discuss the event. Many were traumatized, Shover says, and feared that their loved ones living with mental illness could wind up dead at the hands of police. Some who attended, including Martha Cook, voiced their concern

with how St. Vincent treats its psychiatric patients, particularly what advocates regard as improperly releasing people.

“A lot of people who were at that meeting were testifying about their own personal experiences that were similar to the one that Anthony experienced, where he’s [mentally] unstable but not admitted [to St. Vincent], and the person goes on to commit some other crime and eventually gets put in a detention center,” Cook tells SFR. “I’ve had that experience with my family member too.”

Hospital admission criteria lists attempted or desired suicide, recent “assaultive behavior” or the threat of it against oneself or others, and the inability to care for oneself (i.e., not eating) as some of the conditions that qualify a person for inpatient services.

Yet Shover says it’s ultimately supposed to be a judgement call by St. Vincent staff, who have discharged several pa-

tients who went on to do “some really bad things to people or themselves.” Both she and Starke tell SFR they’ve heard complaints from people that the hospital has released psychiatric patients in the middle of the night, potentially endangering their health.

Honey defended the hospital’s admission protocol. “If they’re cleared they can be discharged, [referred] back to their primary care or outpatient services, or they can be deemed eligible for inpatient services. But there is an evidence-based process that is gone through,” she says.

The miscommunication about the new room’s use may have happened because the advocates’ main line of communication into the hospital is gone. Earlier this year, Shover says she had been in contact with a registered crisis psychiatric nurse named Jacqueline Williams at St. Vincent about the new psychiatric evaluation room. But both Williams and her supervisor, behavioral health unit manager Susan Bodelson Kammerer, recently left their posts at the hospital. Shover says she was never offered an explanation for their departure.

A 2015 New Mexico Regional Health Report found that about 26 out of every 10,000 hospital discharges between 2009 and 2013 in Santa Fe County were for mood and depressive disorders. St. Vincent will continue to be the only facility in Santa Fe with inpatient psychiatric beds for the foreseeable future; a spokesperson for Presbyterian Healthcare Services tells SFR in an email that its new medical center opening next year in Santa Fe will not have inpatient psychiatric beds.

In the meantime, Santa Fe County has seized on the notion that it needs to establish more mental health services by seeking voter approval for money to build and staff a crisis center that could help 2,500 people with severe mental illness in Santa Fe. There’s no word yet of when the facility will open, but county Community Services Department Director Rachel O’Connor says the county will soon solicit proposals from health care providers who want to work with the center.

Suing Schools Does poorly educating students violate the state Constitution? A judge will decide B Y S Y LV I A U L L O A @NMInDepth

H

ow New Mexico educates its children is in the hands of a state judge as arguments in a landmark trial against the state Public Education Department have ended. Over eight weeks, the trial featured dozens of witnesses and numerous academic citations. But in the end, the case before First Judicial District Judge Sarah Singleton boiled down to dueling worldviews.

The plaintiffs—the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF)—cited education outcomes for low-income, Native American and English language learners as evidence that New Mexico does not meet its constitutional obligation to provide a sufficient education for all children. They want the state to target at-risk students earlier and with greater resources to help close the education achievement gap.

“It was very clear from the defense that the state is in denial about the educational crisis that New Mexico students face,” said Marisa Bono, MALDEF Southwest regional counsel.

State education officials, however, said that while it is unfortunate that not all New Mexico students read at high levels or are adept at math, it doesn’t violate the constitution. They cautioned that money alone can’t guarantee better outcomes and emphasized the importance of raising expectations and holding school districts and teachers accountable.

The Martinez administration did not respond to a request for comment, but acting Education Secretary Christopher Ruszkowski testified during the trial and characterized the view that poverty drives poor educational outcomes for certain students—an argument made by the plaintiffs—as “the soft bigotry of low expectations.”

The end-of-court testimony on Aug. 4 was the latest phase in the 2014 lawsuit the plaintiffs filed against a backdrop of the perennial drumbeat of bad educational news. A ruling expected this fall or winter could help set the foundation for New Mexico’s educational future.

New Mexico’s education statistics are familiar and persistent: 49th or 50th in

the nation in educational outcomes since 2012, according to the Annie E Casey Foundation; only a quarter of third-graders proficient in reading and math on the 2015 PARCC test; 43 percent of New Mexico college students needing remedial classes in 2015, according to the Public Education Department. The Center on Law and Poverty and MALDEF lawsuit hammered on those statistics during the trial to prove the state underfunds education by as much as $600 million. Additional money would enable the state to expand to all school districts programs shown to improve educational outcomes for low-income students, among other things, they said.

One example is the K-3 Plus program, which adds 25 days to the school year for low-income students in kindergarten through third grade. A Utah State University study found that kindergarteners in the extended school year were more prepared for school and outperformed their peers, and that the effects continued four years later.

As effective as it is, K-3 Plus is in only around 50 of New Mexico’s 89 school districts, and while nearly 70,000 students attend program-eligible schools around the state, only a fifth of them will receive instruction this summer.

In recent years, school spending has risen for pre-kindergarten and K-3 Plus despite trying economic times. This leads John Arthur Smith, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which helps write the state budget, to question whether some districts are spending dollars efficiently. He also pointed to other states in the Southwest that are spending less per student but getting better results.

Utah spends $6,500 per student, the lowest per-student spending in the United States. That compares to the $9,752 New Mexico spent per student in 201415, according to the US Census. However, the percent of children living in poverty in Utah is less than half that of New Mexico, according to the Annie E Casey Foundation 2017 Kids Count report. And, just 5.9 percent of Utah students are English language-learners. In New Mexico that number is 16.1 percent, according to the Education Commission of the States.

“I’ll concede some of those [states] might not have the diversity of population of ethnic groups,” Smith said. “But even

School funding in New Mexico is still below pre-2007 recession levels.

within this state, one of the highest [for] at-risk schools, we have pretty high performance. Gadsden [Independent School District] was sort of an example of that.”

Advocacy groups and some legislators say New Mexico has made some improvements, but it’s not enough; and while it is true that education funding from the state has risen in recent years, it is still below the pre-2007 recession levels. Also ripe for review, advocates said, is how the state parcels out its education dollars to schools.

At one point, New Mexico’s funding formula was one of the most progressive in the nation—in the late 1960s and early ’70s, Edward Tabet-Cubero, executive director of the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty, said. The State Equalization Guarantee, a per-student funding formula, helped to even out vast disparities between districts in richer and poorer areas of New Mexico. But now, it’s time to look at that formula again, he said.

Some legislators say the money is there to improve New Mexico schools. What is lacking, they said, is political will.

“It’s not like we don’t know where there are funds that we ought to be able to use,” said Sen. Mimi Stewart, D-Albuqerque, a former educator and chair of the Legislative Education Study Committee. Extra funding for schools could come from raising the rate on what top earners pay in state personal income tax, which was lowered by Gov. Bill Richardson and the Legislature in 2003. Reversing changes made to the corporate income tax rate

by Martinez and the Legislature in 2013 could help, too. Tapping the Land Grant Permanent Fund, a fund generated by the state’s natural resources and used to support schools, and overhauling the state’s gross receipts tax also could yield more education dollars, advocates said.

But persuading Gov. Susana Martinez, a second-term Republican governor, to sign a tax hike would be unlikely. “We have a governor who, regardless of reason or purpose, doesn’t want to raise taxes,” Sen. Bill Soules, D-Las Cruces, another former teacher, said.

Even if the plaintiffs prevail in court, any turnaround in education will be years, perhaps even decades in the making, advocates acknowledged. The state PED under Martinez is likely to appeal the ruling if it loses, as would the advocacy groups if Singleton sides with the PED. The trial’s results are likely just the end of the beginning of the court battle.

Smith, for one, doesn’t believe the judge will order a particular dollar amount. But with the lawsuit seeking $350 to $600 million, he doesn’t see where that’s going to come out of a state government that has lots of empty jobs and shortfalls. “Everyone says, ‘Look over here for money.’ We can look over there, but that’s not enough to wad a shotgun as far as making the fix in the event we lose that case,” he said.

A longer version of this story was originally published by New Mexico In Depth, with Trip Jennings contributing reporting.

THE UNTOLD FINANCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL COST OF NEW MEXICO’S CATHOLIC PRIEST SEX CRIMES

T

he two friends had laced up and hit the court together many times before.

They’d played on the same team in an Albuquerque recreational basketball league for years. In a Bernalillo County league, too. They were in their mid-20s and their lives stretched out before them, disappearing into a horizon of possibilities.

It was the early 1980s, and Brad Hall was looking to blow off steam. He’d soon start classes at the University of New Mexico law school. The rec-league team, a rotating cast of characters, practiced on Sunday afternoons at the Queen of Heaven Catholic School in Albuquerque’s Quigley Park neighborhood.

Every once in a while a priest would wander through, padding along the court.

Hall never had a reason to give him a second thought.

He couldn’t have known, though, what his teammate Clifford Esquibel was thinking at that same moment; the horror and fear he must have felt.

A quarter century after the last time Hall can recall seeing his basketball pal, Esquibel walked into his office. “I was the first person he ever told all about being an altar boy in the archdiocese,” Hall says.

Esquibel revealed that the Rev. John

George Weisenborn, a priest at a different parish in Albuquerque who had a history of sexual abuse known to the church, had sexually molested him as a boy over the course of several years.

Then, Hall says, Esquibel walked outside and threw up.

One year later, Hall and Esquibel settled a lawsuit with the Archdiocese of Santa Fe in exchange for a payment.

Since 2011, and as recently as this week—long after the specter of child sexual abuse by priests faded from the public scrutiny that peaked in the decade before—Brad Hall has filed 74 lawsuits on behalf of abuse survivors against priests from the archdiocese, which includes Albuquerque. The lawsuits represent what Hall and his lone associate attorney, Levi Monagle, worry is a swell of sexual abuse survivors who will keep coming forward, praying for help and pleading for accountability.

In the past 25 years, the church has faced nearly 300 civil lawsuits, according to a court filing by lawyers for the archdiocese, and a group of seven priests have accounted for half those cases. The church has a well-documented history of shuffling accused abusers from parish to parish in New Mexico and elsewhere. It insists the practice has ceased and children are safe. It’s hard to tell how critically the church has looked at itself to make sure that’s true.

None of the lawsuits has gone to court.

The church has settled them all. How many more are to come depends in part on the bravery of survivors of sexual abuse by priests, but also on the efforts of an archdiocese that is now publicly apologetic about the scandal, yet legally reluctant to look into its past and reveal just how much was known about the depth and breadth of its history of sexual abuse.

Hall grew up playing basketball in a part of Montana where the ball could roll for a good 30 yards if you missed a shot on an outdoor court.

Sidney, Montana, lies in the floodplain of the Yellowstone River in the northeastern part of the state, where sugar beet fields stretch into the distance and oil rigs dot the horizon. Depending on the price of oil, the population fluctuates between 4,000 and 6,000 people. In the mid-1970s, a few years before an oil boom, Hall was headed to what was then the College of Great Falls, a Catholic school founded by the Sisters of Providence and the Ursuline Sisters. His mother, a Polish Catholic, was pleased. By the time he left home, though, Hall had already left the church.

“I left that worldview and that organizational structure at about 16,” Hall tells SFR from the conference room in his Albuquerque office. It’s painted a goldish hue of yellow. Pictures of Italy, France and Taiwan hang on the walls. From the 12th floor, the windows look south toward the Manzanos and the room is generally a pleasant place to talk about unpleasant things.

“I think I just grew up,” he says. “I evolved past the ridiculous dogma that

you start seeing when you look more broadly at the world.”

He’d developed an interest in philosophy during high school. He nurtured it as he struck out on his own, and bypassed small-college basketball glory in Great Falls for California. A few years later, he was back in Montana, studying anthropology and, of course, philosophy. It may not be surprising that he soon ended up in New Mexico, studying the classics at St. John’s College.

Hall worked all sorts of jobs, including in oil fields, on his way to becoming a lawyer. Even as he stuck his nose into the Great Books at St. John’s, he worked as a cab driver in Santa Fe. Hall’s appreciation for hard work—and the kind of sensibility

MATT GRUBS

His longtime girlfriend, Carolyn Carlson, tells SFR she’s always known him as empathetic.

She remembers the Clifford Esquibel case as something akin to Hall’s watershed moment. “It became a very, very personal issue for him at that point,” she says. “I think [for Brad], it’s creating a safe place and not like an ambulance chaser. … Brad’s not anti-Catholic. There’s no grudge. It’s truly victim-based.”

“The stories are so incredibly touching and amazing,” Carlson adds. “From clients who are well-known in the community to those we step over in the gutter could have been abused by the same priest.”

That common thread is still unraveling for the Catholic Church.

In June 2002, as the oppressive heat began to settle into a North Texas summer, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops came together in Dallas. It was the height of the child sex abuse scandal—“a crisis without precedent in our times,” as the church called it in a later report on the gathering.

Ever since the scandal broke in the final years of the Catholic Church’s second millennium, bishops in the United States had been worried about the thinning of their flock. As more survivors came forward, more questions were asked. Some bishops worried openly about losing not just eternal souls, but cash. One of them was then-Archbishop of Santa Fe Michael Sheehan.

“Certainly we’ve lost some of the weaker members ... people whose faith was not very strong to begin with. It has provided an excuse for them to walk away,” Sheehan told the Washington Post’s Laurie Goodstein in December 1994. “But on the other hand, those who are really Catholics, it’s strengthened their belief.”

As the scope of the scandal in the Santa Fe archdiocese became clear, Sheehan told Goodstein the archdiocese was facing 135 lawsuits. He said settlements could eclipse $50 million. He had already made an appeal to parishioners for additional tithing. He worried about bankruptcy. Though other dioceses were eventually forced down that path, by the time of the Dallas conference, the Archdiocese of Santa Fe had avoided bankruptcy—as it has ever since.

Attorney Brad Hall has filed 74 lawsuits on behalf In court records, the archof abuse survivors against priests from the diocese recently acknowledged Archdiocese of Santa Fe. settling nearly 300 sex abuse

lawsuits. Hall estimates that when suits against religious orders and other types of actions are taken into account, that number rises above 350 cases.

At the Dallas assembly, which Sheehan attended, the bishops established the “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People” and the corresponding Safe Environment Program.

It’s a promise that bishops will take steps to prevent sexual child abuse: to seek to remove abusive priests from the ministry, to report allegations of abuse to law enforcement, and to submit to an annual audit of their efforts.

But the Dallas Charter isn’t church law.

“I would say it’s morally binding. It’s a commitment bishops have made,” says Rev. James Connell, a priest of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee who is a canon lawyer and an advocate for survivors of sexual abuse.

All dioceses in the United States have started tracking their compliance with the promises made in the charter. The 2016 audit of the efforts says 99 percent of priests, deacons and future priests have been trained to create what the church calls a safe environment for children.

Connell says the training helps people involved in Catholic Church life identify potential grooming behavior by would-be abusers, but he wonders if it’s enough to

that leads a seasoned attorney to decorate his own conference room with $80 worth of iPhone pictures he snapped himself and got printed at Costco—has served him well in connecting to the clients who’ve found their way to his door. If you can trust a guy to set a decent pick in a pickup basketball game, you can probably trust him to listen to what you need in a courtroom.

Hall brushes past the idea that he has some sort of mission at the heart of the scores of cases he’s filed in the past six years.

“The motivation is to help people who, through no fault of their own, manage to suppress the horrific effects of something like sexual abuse or violent rapes when they were a little child,” he explains.

Like Clifford Esquibel, clients who call or walk through the door are often at or near the bottom. He remembers one man who told him he fell to the bathroom floor, razor in hand and face half-covered with shaving cream, as he heard the name of his priestly abuser on the news in the other room. The man told Hall he wept for hours.

“When that watershed moment occurs, many times there’s a crash. And you need to reconstitute and rebuild. First, recall and deal with what happened, and then rebuild adult coping skills and turn the corner,” Hall says of his clients; the vast majority of whom he refers to counseling regardless of whether they file a lawsuit. “Those are the people who call.”

rebuild trust. “That’s one of the big things in all of this: the trust that has been shattered. The trust that has been shattered for the victim, the victim’s family and friends, right down to the people in the pews.”

Connell and others would like to see much more disclosure by dioceses across the country. He says the annual audit, conducted by an independent consulting firm, skims the surface in too many areas.

Dioceses are not required to allow auditors to review parish-level files to verify that allegations of abuse are properly investigated.

“Six weeks before the auditors arrive, they should announce the audit and allow public contact. It would help to identify the universe of allegations,” Connell says.

He’s not sure auditors are even allowed to look at the abuse accusation files.

“It’s ‘Trust us, trust us, trust us.’ But there’s no reporting out to the public,” he says. “People in the pews deserve to know that.”

There are a host of internal measures designed to prevent child sex abuse at the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, including a Permanent Review Board that reports to the archbishop. But the archbishop isn’t required to follow the board’s recommendation. Little is made public.

To Hall, Monagle and other attorneys who have sued the Archdiocese of Santa Fe and seen the damage secrecy has caused, it’s the fox guarding the henhouse.

“The church is at once divine and human. And this is the sad side of things.”

Archbishop John Charles Wester was speaking to KUNM radio host Stephen Spitz in June when he uttered those words about the sex abuse scandal. He’s sounded similar notes of apology during the two years he’s headed New Mexico’s largest diocese, which includes Albuquerque, all of Northern New Mexico and rural areas as far-flung as Fort Sumner.

“This is a terrible, terrible sin and a terrible, terrible affliction that we must deal with—the whole crisis and sexual abuse crisis—and it’s one we have to be vigilant on,” Wester told reporters who gathered ahead of his installation as the 12th Archbishop of Santa Fe in 2015.

“As you know, we’re human beings and it’s very easy for us to get careless,” Wester added later in the news conference. “We don’t allow that in this at all.”

Part of Wester’s job, as with all bishops in this era, is to make sure Catholics believe him when he says getting careless isn’t an option. The archdiocese has pledged strict attention to the safety of children in its pews and parish halls, classrooms and confessionals. However, a spokeswoman did not answer questions about how closely the archdiocese examines its own efforts, who it hires to investigate new claims of sexual abuse by priests, and how—or whether—it lets parishioners know about the results of those inquiries.

Wester has met privately multiple times with some of Hall’s clients, but was unavailable for an interview with SFR prior to the publishing of this story.

Levi Monagle remembers standing in Mass with his mother at the Aquinas Newman Center on the University of New Mexico campus. They were saying the Nicene Creed.

Recited aloud during church services

by Catholics and many Protestants, the creed unites Christians the world over.

But the part that says “I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church” didn’t sit well.

“When we got to that part, my mom would always purse her lips,” he says. In the creed, most theologians hold that “catholic” has a universal meaning and does not mean Roman Catholic. Still, saying those words is powerful. And Monagle’s mother seemed to prize her son thinking for himself.

SFREPORTER.COM

It’s ‘Trust us, trust us, trust us.’ But there’s no reporting out to the public.

People in the pews deserve to know that.

-Rev. James Connell, Archdiocese of Milwaukee

Monagle believes in God and considers himself a Christian, but he’s no longer Catholic. “The church places itself as this necessary buffer between the people and God. I didn’t believe that.”

A 28-year-old attorney with an undercut hairstyle, a neatly trimmed mustache and a curated collection of tattoos, Monagle has moved through life so far in a purposeful, if somewhat unorthodox fashion.

He dropped out of high school, but immediately got his GED. He went to community college, then finished undergraduate studies and law school at the University of New Mexico, both with high honors.

He met Hall in his third year at UNM Law. “My first day on the job was the deposition of a survivor,” he says. “You can’t teach that in a classroom.”

Monagle has immersed himself in the work, in measuring the societal cost of the sex abuse for Northern New Mexico towns; places that were relatively isolat-

ed and, especially before widely available internet service, didn’t connect with parishes in other towns. Las Vegas, for example, saw a string of pedophile priests move through its two parishes. Monagle and Hall take turns naming them.

What kind of damage does that do to a community?

“We think it’s an ongoing crisis. We don’t think of it as something that’s stopped,” Monagle says.

“The trauma bleeds outwards,” Hall explains. “People can’t connect, they have no relationships with their children, they become workaholics or they have a distrust of institutions.”

Alcoholism, domestic violence, further sexual abuse of others—all can have many causes. Being sexually abused as a child by a priest is one.

Monagle and Hall have begun to include a public nuisance count in many of their lawsuits as they try to tally the cost of a scandal that’s gone on for decades. “‘Generation’ is absolutely not too broad of a word to use,” Hall says.

Healing the scars of child sexual abuse using the law is a difficult thing.

Marci Hamilton has made it her business. A professor at the University of Pennsylvania and the CEO of CHILD USA, a think tank dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect, the attorney says not every abuse survivor is ready for court.

Some never will be.

For starters, relatively few priests go to prison. In part, that’s because prosecutors often learn about potential crimes long after the deadline for filing charges has passed. Recent studies show more than 30 years are likely to elapse before survivors disclose sexual abuse by priests.

Instead, survivors are seeking civil justice—they want the church to pay.

Sometimes it’s money, though Hall and Monagle insist outright money-hunting isn’t the case. More often, they say, it’s

acknowledgement that what happened was wrong. Survivors weren’t alone, and aren’t alone. There were and are others.

And they want the church to say it to them. But that quest, like their journey to come to grips with the abuse, is not easy.

“It really depends on where they are psychologically in dealing with the issue,” Hamilton tells SFR in a recent afternoon phone call. “For many, it’s empowering. This is the way that they can actually move on. For others, they’re just not ready for the rough-and-tumble of the legal system—even when it’s supposedly there to help them.”

For example, New Mexico lawmakers just changed the law to say survivors have three years to file suit after they disclose abuse to a medical or mental health provider. Previously, the clock started when a provider discovered indications of abuse.

Monagle, who worked on the change in the law, says that’s a big difference.

“If you can’t really ever tell anyone what happened, it’s not fair to preclude you from bringing a lawsuit, right?” he says.

Hamilton says New Mexico’s experiment with its statute of limitations could bring more lawsuits, but it may not open the floodgates.

“These cases require these victims to produce all of their medical records. And so this now puts on a new weight of, ‘Is there evidence in there that the victim said something to the therapist?’ It’s not an easy case for any victim to bring,” Hamilton says.

Records, both medical and otherwise, have played a critical role in the priest sex abuse scandal, in part because of what’s at stake.

According to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at George-

Archbishop John Wester has been on the job as head of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe for two years and has issued a public apology for sex crimes.

town University, the 2016 cost to USCCB dioceses related to sexual abuse allegations eclipsed $125 million. Added to the cost of programs like Safe Environment, the yearly pricetag jumped to more than $175 million.

As hard as it is for survivors to open up their records, getting the church to do it has been nearly impossible.

“More and more, the archdioceses are arguing to the courts that everything should be confidential during the litigation. And the courts are listening to them,” Hamilton says.

As a legal strategy, it’s not surprising to her. In fact, the Archdiocese of Santa Fe is currently battling an effort by Hall to unseal what could be tens of thousands of pages of church records that were handed over as part

of a series of lawsuits. Hall and Monagle wouldn’t comment on that effort specifically, as hearings for the case are happening over the course of the next several weeks.

“The reason they want to keep it private is they don’t want the rest of the victims to get that information and come forward to them,” Hamilton says. “It’s a very lawyerly thing to do.”

But that flies in the face of the reconciliation bishops like Wester have talked about. And it’s a difficult dynamic for many parishioners to understand.

“It’s really unfortunate,” Hamilton says. “Because of course the people can’t judge how safe their children are without having this kind of information.”

The Archdiocese of Santa Fe routinely asks the court to seal many of the documents it submits in lawsuits. An upcoming hearing could begin to pry open some of those files.

For Hall, the priest sex abuse scandal is inextricably tied to New Mexico.

Who knew what was happening? Did any of the seminarians from the Immaculate Heart of Mary next to St. John’s during Hall’s college years have an idea?

Probably not. But he can’t be certain.

His mind wanders back to the gym at Queen of Heaven, too, where Hall would later learn that a priest named Sabine Griego was a prolific abuser. The timelines his team has pulled together for cases show they may have crossed paths.

Griego kept a recreation room at the parish, court records say. He’d get alcohol for young men, then encourage them to stay instead of venturing tipsily out into the night. Hall’s third client—the one Monagle met on his first day—says Griego raped him in that rec room. That case settled, too.

“We’ve had a number of clients abused there. It’s very strange to think that I was there,” Hall says.

It’s unclear how much priest sex abuse has cost the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. The Dallas Charter prevents bishops from demanding confidential settlements. Yet, most of Hall’s clients decide to at least keep the amount of money secret, anyway. It’s safe to say the total is well into the tens of millions of dollars. The true cost, though, may be the exposure; the anger and heartbreak of survivors who find it so hard to forgive an institution that has forgiveness at its very core.

“These people—when you think about it taking maybe 32 years to come forward—they embody the word ‘survivors’ because of the nature of abuse as a child.

When it happens, when they disclose, it’s a real challenge to the law to help them,” Hall says. “This is not a car wreck with broken bones, this is a soul. And it’s barely alive. How do you heal that?”

Now into his fourth decade of being an attorney, he’s seen the law do all kinds of things. It’s forced crooked cops off the streets and held large corporations to account. Hall may have left the dogma of the Catholic Church behind many years ago, but he believes in the power of the law to help and to force change.

“The Archdiocese of Santa Fe didn’t change on its own,” he says. “This was because victims and survivors came forward and found attorneys to file lawsuits.”

He gets philosophical for a moment, as both he and Monagle are prone to do.

“The church is a human institution,” he says. To some, it represents the divine presence of God on Earth.

But if the church is human, Hall says, “that means human beings can fix the problem.”

MS PAINT THIS AIN’T

COURTESY ART HOUSE

It’s rather fitting that Art House’s new exhibition Cyberbodies opens after rumors surrounding Microsoft Paint’s retirement left the internet reeling (don’t worry, Paint isn’t going anywhere). Cyberbodies traces the history of computer art from basic plotter drawings to today’s advanced virtual reality programs. But while technological advances have done a lot to expand the art form, Cyberbodies highlights the harms that come with computing power. With an air of caution, the exhibit explores the ways digital media warps our perceptions of reality.

The show features a handful of interactive works as well, so head on down, get your clicking fingers ready and learn a little something about digital art’s ancestry. (Lauren Thompson)

Santa Fe Girl Power Local ladies bring vintage goodies, jewelry and fun to a pop-up If you’re into jewelry, vintage clothing, organic skincare products or pottery, you want to spend Sunday evening wandering this market. The Santa Fe Pop Up is a chance to see and shop beautiful handmade and curated goods, all collected and created by ladies who grew up in Santa Fe. Megan Branch, co-founder of participating vendor M/A Directions and organizer of this shopping soiree, says it’s her company’s first introduction to her home community. Presenting her company’s efforts in person means a lot to the young entrepreneur. “It feels important to me to be able to talk to people about what it is we’re doing, and what it is,” she says.

Branch and her partner Anna Airoldi formed M/A Directions as a new way to showcase and sell traditional art and jewelry from New Mexico. It’s an innovative blend of archive, workshop and gallery. In addition to helping artists create and sell, Branch says M/A Directions “also exists as a publication and archive for these artists’ work and how they make their work, and preserving and documenting the tradition in which they make it.”

Alongside pieces from M/A Directions, expect a vintage gold mine from fashion-fabulous Santa Fean stylist and designer Teo Griscom, who offers both pieces from her curated shop, Unforeseen Circumstances, and summer pieces of her own design. Also expect literal gold from local goldsmith Tony Malmed Jewelry, specifically the I Love You spinners designed by his daughter Ali Malmed, who brings the jewels to this event.

Imagine sipping delicious cocktails while surveying treasures like lamps, rugs, pottery and Zuni silver from present and far-bygone times. Branch says some of the older pieces in her collection are from the 1930s and before. This fancy flea welcomes everyone, whether your intent is to browse or to buy. “We want to create a nice afternoon party vibe, and I’m hoping it feels like a market,” Branch says. “People can walk through and check it out, and just get to know who we are.” (Maria Egolf-Romero) THE SANTA FE POP UP 2-6 pm Sunday Aug. 13.

CARA ROBBINS

MUSIC this one. We wanted it to be a cinematic, musical kind of album. We both grew up in the theater. It’s second nature to us.

Is it hard to stay focused that long?

Do you start to wander in other directions musically when there’s such a big lead time?

I think Rado and I both experiment a lot in our own houses. We explore stuff. But I don’t know, we really meet in the middle.

We always have a definite idea of what we’re doing.

You recorded with an orchestra. Was that daunting, or more like a relief to get as close to your vision as possible?

I think it was a relief once we teamed up with Trey Pollard. He was our savior. And Matthew E White. … Spacebomb is this rotating cast of musicians; they’re sort of a wrecking crew.

Sam France (left) and Jonathan Rado went big on the new Foxygen album, Hang.

Orchestrated Foxygen’s Sam France on the band’s new direction

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

T

he evolution of Los Angeles’ Foxygen has been interesting to watch, from their indie/ psych throwback breakout We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic to the glitzy funk-pop of …And Star Power. And now, with the huge orchestral sounds of Hang released after three years without an album, we caught up with singer Sam France ahead of the band’s upcoming performance at The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing Co. Hang holds onto the multi-instrumentality of Foxygen’s previous efforts, and there’s a Harry Nilsson-meets-Broadway-meetsMotown feel that might mean fewer songs—but they’re much bigger, courtesy of composer/arrangers Matthew E White

and Trey Pollard of West Virginia arts collective Spacebomb. France, along with co-founder Jonathan Rado, gave Pollard and White free rein to maximize the music’s potential, so obviously we wanted to hear about the process, the growth and what it feels like to give up total control.

SFR: What I hear is that the songs from Hang were written quite a while ago— before your last release, …And Star Power, even. Did they still feel fresh and good to get into?

Sam France: Oh yeah. I mean, the purpose of the album, really the idea for years and years, was to make a grand scale musical type record. We developed these concepts early-on. We have all these ideas for hundreds of different records, and we’re never sure what avenues we’re taking, but we ended up executing

Has the collaboration between you and Rado evolved in any way now that you’ve worked in bigger sounds?

We’re writing a lot and definitely I think the world will see what we’re doing sooner rather than later. A three-year gap [between albums], that was quite a while; people won’t have to wait that long. But you know, time flies.

With the orchestral stuff, how is it recreated live?

We’re not touring with an orchestra, but we have a brass section. Trey Pollard is in the band, he’s the musical director—we’re a rock band with a musical director. He translated a lot of his arrangements to just the brass section. It really works. We’ll have eight or nine people.

When you use these sort of throwback, Motown-meets-Nilsson sounds, do you ever feel like the music is read So then was it weird to record in this wrong by listeners? Like, ironically? different manner?

Sure. It’s not that it’s misreading, it’s just It was awesome. The basic tracks were all that it’s their own perception. I think that laid down in Los Angeles with this band we’ve always had our own world, which is The Lemon Twigs. All the rock instrumen- the Foxygen rule. It’s outside of time and tation was sort of done, and we basically space, so we’re just doing what we do and handed it over to Trey what we’ve always done.

WE ARE THE SEEDS The Indigenous arts market we deserve

BY ALICIA INEZ GUZMÁN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m COURTESY WE ARE THE SEEDS

tsatsa’ Antonio taps into the “unused potential of the things that people throw away.” Junkyards, the free column on Craigslist—those are his haunts, the places he goes to find materials, like chainsaw chains and rebar, for his hand-forged tools. There is “no need for money or currency,” as he says, only skills, and an eye for spotting raw material from the once-obsolete. If you visit his website, redkrow.com, you can see the process: a long piece of rebar, red-hot from coals, is pounded on an anvil, the malleable metal giving way to a blade with a textured spiral handle. From the glinting finished product, you might never know its beginnings as a reinforcing rod. He’s a young blacksmith, just 22, though it’s been ten years since Antonio first tried his hand at metal working in Window Rock, Arizona.

Antonio is one of one hundred artists participating in the inaugural We Are the Seeds market taking place in the Santa Fe Railyard Park Thursday-Saturday, Aug. 17-19. Seeds, as co-founder Tailinh Agoyo, calls it, “had this an organic growth. It matches our name.”

Agoyo came to the table with past experience from both the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts and the now defunct Indigenous Fine Arts Market, as did Paula Mirabal; together they are co-directors.

Pooling their resources, along with those of Sharon Lucero, Seeds was born in September of last year—it’s less than a year in the making.

They’ve had the help of CultureWorks Greater Philadelphia, a clearinghouse of management tools for nonprofits like Seeds. Agoyo is currently based in Philly and saw their support as fundamental to getting the project off the ground. “[The outcome] is a reflection of who we are as planners,” Agoyo mentions. This isn’t hubris talking, but a dedicated commitment to making Indigenous art and voices matter. That said, the mission of Seeds is to feature fine art by Native artists, as well as other cultural events, including live musical performances (Jennifer Elizabeth Kreisberg, who opened the Women’s March in Washington, DC, in January of this year, will be one of seven on the Santa Fe Seeds stage) and youth workshops. The Native couture brand ACONAV is set to host a fashion event and Nicole Kahbah Johnny offers a spoken word poetry workshop. That’s not all. A legacy program celebrates the work of elderly Native artists, and women artists will be highlighted in the Honor Women Art Share Program. For its first year, Seeds is already setting a high bar.

Artist Atsatsa’ Antonio creates one-of-a-kind knives from found materials.

On the choice of the Santa Fe Railyard Park, it was clear that the space had a certain energy that Seeds was looking to cultivate. “We wanted it to be intimate, to understand the needs of the artists,” Agoyo explains, and “to really capitalize on the Railyard as a community space.”

To her, the district is an “active participant” in the overall feel of the event. And as Antonio put it, “Seeds is a good avenue for up-and-coming artists to showcase their work in another environment and platform.” Seeds is refreshing in this regard. The Plaza, while historical, is already laden with the associations of other longstanding events like SWAIA’s Indian Market that runs August 19 and 20; the founders of Seeds are forging their own path.

They have an eye toward the future and beyond the Southwest after the August event closes. As Seeds grows, Agoyo, Mirabal and Lucero hope to organize more regional shows outside of Santa Fe—the Northwest and East Coast are hubs for potential expansion. Seeds will reportedly introduce education initiatives, too, with mentorships and art programs in Indigenous and non-Indigenous public schools. “That’s where art is special. You can create a bond across any barrier,” Agoyo points out.

It’s a truism to speak about barriers in public education—they can be so unyielding. Yet now more than ever, it’s necessary to put a mirror up to the blind spots of classroom curriculum, namely the fact that most accounts of Native people are one-dimensional. Even worse, those accounts almost always relegate Indigenous peoples to the past. Here, Seeds is part of a groundswell of initiatives that address the realities of Indigenous people now, from education to policy.

As for Antonio, he will soon complete his degree in environmental studies with a concentration on earthquake risk in Portland, Oregon, at Lewis and Clark College. Besides that, he works at a high-end Japanese kitchen workshop as a knife sharpener. As we wrapped up our phone conversation, he pressed on one point: curiosity. It was curiosity that motivated him to try his hand at blacksmithing when the tools he had as a kid were pretty barebones. It’s the same curiosity that took him to Portland, Norway and, in the not-so-distant future, Japan.

My boyfriend of eight months, K, and I are polyamorous. We started the relationship on that foot, and for a while I was the partner he spent the most time with. There have been ups and downs, but overall our relationship is solid and loving. However, recently we both started dating the same woman, L, and they have been spending more time together than with me due to my work schedule. They both reassure me that they love me and care for me deeply, but I am an anxiously-attached person and sometimes I have panic attacks when they spend more time with others/themselves and fear that they’re going to leave me. I’m working on becoming more secure via books on cognitive behavioral therapy, and I’m looking into in-person therapy. This is my first serious relationship, but not his (I’m 22, he’s 35). And while K has been super patient with me, my worry and grasping is a point of friction in the relationship. K has told me he doesn’t want to be solely responsible for my sexual satisfaction and my need for constant reassurances that he cares. The anxiety has been flaring up most strongly concerning sex—we’re all switches, and K and L are both professional Dominants.

I feel neglected if K doesn’t penetrate me but he penetrates L, or if L gets to penetrate K via a strap-on and I don’t. He’s very good about voicing what he desires, while I’m learning to speak up despite feeling like I’m just being needy and grasping again. I love both my partners, but I’ve been feeling sexually neglected—and with a HIGH sex drive, it’s been quite painful. This is my first “trio rodeo” and I really want to make it work—I’ve seen a future with K for a while (the I-want-your-children kind), and L is joining those future visions. How can I find a way to create more opportunities for sexy-time and not ruin it with anxiety attacks?

-BDSM Enthusiastic Lover On Voyage4 Emotional Durability I’m always suspicious when two (or more) people claim to be deeply in love after dating for a short period of time, BELOVED, and eight months qualifies as a short period of time. Premature declarations of love—to say nothing of premature commitments—up the emotional stakes, which can place a strain on a newish relationship (or a trio of them) that it may not be strong enough to bear. Not yet.

You’ll feel a lot less anxious about this relationship, BELOVED, if you make a conscious effort to lower the stakes. In other words: Dial it way back, girl.

You’ve been dating K for a little more than half a year, and you’ve been dating L for whatever “recently” adds up to in a world where eight months equals LTR. It’ll reduce your anxiety levels and soothe your insecurities if you tell yourself you aren’t committed to K and L as life partners. Not yet. This is the beginning of both these relationships. All you’re committed to right now is continuing to get to know K and L. You’re committed to dating them, you’re committed to exploring where this might go, you’re committed to enjoying your time with them, however long it lasts.

But you are not committed to them. Either of them. Not yet.

Committing yourself to therapy is a good idea, BELOVED. Everyone should commit to working on their emotional and mental health.

You and your therapist can start by reevaluating whether a poly relationship is right for you in practice. In theory, you understand poly and you may want a poly relationship. (Particularly if it’s the only way you can have K.) But as someone with anxiety issues and hang-ups about all sex acts being divided up equally, poly may not be right for you, or it may not be right for you right now. After a little therapy (or maybe a lot), who knows? (Also: Trying to portion out sex between

This is about your Campsite Rule. I think you should amend it. In 1984, when I was 20 years old, I met an LGBT rights activist who was 53.

He was working with the group I contacted after I’d called the local youth crisis hotline here in Baton Rouge and got called a faggot. (I hadn’t realized they created youth crises rather than fixing them—my bad.) We had a summer fling (initiated by me), and then I went off to study in Europe. Because of him, I knew the difference between making love and getting your rocks off, and I moved through the world with the self-confidence he told me I deserved to have.

I ended up working in national politics for 30 years, and I did all of it as an out gay man. I moved back home a few years ago and tried to find him with no luck. Finally, about a month ago, I did. He’s in his mid-80s now and under hospice care, but he does remember me. I got to tell him everything I’d done with what he taught me. I only got about a third of the way down the list before his eyes filled with tears—and pride. To call that a special moment would be an understatement. So here’s my suggested amendment: If you benefited from the Campsite Rule—if someone left you in better shape than they found you—look that person up and tell them what they meant to you. And if he’s alone and in hospice care, spend some time being there for him and holding his hand.

Your old summer fling left you in better shape than he found you—the heart of my Campsite Rule—and the lessons he imparted had a hugely positive impact on your life. But instead of amending my Campsite Rule, CTOFA, which covers the conduct of older and/or more experienced people dating and/or fucking younger and/or less experienced people, I’m going to amend my Tea and Sympathy Rule.

“When the younger person in an older/ younger affair speaks of it in future years, they have a duty to be kind,” goes the Tea and Sympathy Rule, which covers the conduct of the younger/less experienced partner. “If you were left in better shape than you were found, strive to do no harm in return. And don’t speak of your affair—not even kindly—if doing so will wreak havoc on the life of a former lover who honored the Campsite Rule.” And today, by decree, I’m adding CTOFA’s amendment to the T&S Rule: “And if you benefited from the Campsite Rule— if years ago a lover left you in better shape than they found you—look that person up and tell them what they meant to you.”

Advice professionals often urge us to confront exes who did us wrong—many find closure in those confrontations—but we rarely talk about reaching out to people who did us right (in every sense of the term). My first truly serious boyfriend, who I met at college, was a wonderful and very sexy guy who helped me grow in so many ways. He definitely left me in far better shape than he found me—like CTOFA, I was able to express my gratitude to him before he died and I’m so glad I did. (RIP, Tommy Ladd.)

If you were lucky enough to have a Tommy in your life, dear readers, if you were lucky enough to have an early sex and/or romantic partner who left you in better shape than they found you, reach out to them and express your gratitude. You’ll be glad you did.

www.peyotebird.com COURTESY ANDREAS CARTER

Formerly local artist Zac Scheinbaum’s indentifier might change depending on with whom you speak—is he a fine arist? A tattooer? Some mixture of both? The latter, it turns out, is true, and though Scheinbaum has a solid decade under his belt in skin art (full disclosure: This writer has numerous Scheinbaum pieces), he began as an illustrator. And now the prodigal son returns for group show, Escripto en Sangre, which opens Friday Aug. 11 at 5 pm at KEEP Contemporary (112 W San Francisco St., Ste. 102). Let’s see what all the fuss is about. (Alex De Vore) What kind of pieces will you have in the show?

Big paintings. Like, 4-by-8-foot paintings. They started as pieces of weird members of tribes or cultures that were going extinct or going through genocide and then sort of evolved from there with my own twists on them. It’s sort of a rememberance for things that are no longer here. It was being away from the Southwest and doing a lot of research about tribes in the Amazon and Native American cultures. … I’m not saying it’s my people, that’s why they’re not specific places peoples or tribes, it’s just more of a reminder of what we’ve destroyed.

How much of your tattoo style goes into the artworks?

A lot of the approach is similar, same with subject matter, but I try to make my art outside of tattooing as far away from tattooing as much as I can. Tattoo culture and art is more popular than ever, and I don’t see me re-painting any of that imagery and adding to that voice in tattooing is going to help it. I feel better trying to be original and doing something people maybe haven’t seen before.

Do you prefer being called tattooer or artist? Either?

I don’t know how to answer that. I feel like I try to make my tattoos into more artistic pieces by taking more risks and trying stuff that people wouldn’t try.

Sometimes it works or sometimes it doesn’t, but it’s important to me to push the boundaries of tattooing.

THEATER

CHARLOTTE JUSINSKI

T

here is no way around it: Students and alums (not to mention professors or former professors) of the College of Santa Fe and Santa Fe University of Art and Design have been integral to the success of the Santa Fe theater scene. By SFR’s count, every single show put up in the city this year has had at least some involvement from a CSF or SFUAD kid. (Full disclosure: This writer is a proud CSF kid.)

Some of these actors and techies have been among the best we’ve seen, even. So what will happen when the campus shuts its doors for good in June of next year?

Well, let’s not talk about that just yet, because this week there is something more relevant and immediate happening on the midtown campus.

Elevating the idea of the “class project,” a group of actors from the school’s summer Rehearsal and Performance course have spent the last four weeks rehearsing a production of Eugène Ionesco’s Rhinoceros. It’s perhaps the bestknown example of avant-garde political commentary. But don’t let that classification scare you away; it’s quite funny, and in the hands of the capable upperclassmen of SFUAD, it’s delightfully watchable and accessible. They have worked under the direction of Lindsey Hope Pearlman.

At show open, Jean (Koppany Pusztai) and Berenger (Abygail Merlino—but keep up, four different actors play Berenger, always identifiable by a Hawaiian shirt and aviators) are at a café in a small French town. Everything seems relatively normal until a rhinoceros (seen by the actors, only heard by the audience) charges through the square not once, but twice. There is much discussion over whether the rhino had one or two horns, what species it was, and whether it could have been two rhinos once, or one rhino twice. This is very important, you see— much more important than the fact that

the show, and we asked for tips that might help new viewers. Merlino, O’Brien, Clark and Vignes provided the following ideas: • Worshipping at the altar of logic and reason isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. (AM)

ACTING OUT

• Ionesco did not write the play as a comedy, but thought instead it was a tragedy. (LO) • Students were were led to this piece by studying a 1981 film called Roar, and discussing the concept of nature over man, before discovering the political subtext in the play. (AC)

The Rhinoceros in the Room

• Finding who you are or what is important to you when the mass majority is the exact opposite is something that really resonates. (LMV)

BY C H A R LOT T E J U S I N S K I c o p y e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

there is an actual rhino charging through the town and destroying shit.

It isn’t long before the novice audience member (ie, one who has not studied this play in a university-level postwar drama class) stops trying to follow too closely and simply delights in the strange interactions onstage, like when the Logician (Liam O’Brien) and the Old Gentleman (Audrey Clark) go on for quite a while about how many legs cats might have, or when the Housewife (Lauren Trujillo) shrieks inconsolably over the death of her cat (trampled by the rhino).

Don’t worry, though—the Waitress (Lee Manship Vignes, fresh off a stellar turn as the Emcee in the Santa Fe Playhouse’s sold-out run of Cabaret) gives the cat a solemn funeral, complete with dirge.

That’s just a fraction of the action of the first scene. Admirable are these actors, who fly through the script with ease.

Don’t underestimate how difficult it is to make natural (or even simply memorize) one nonsensical line as it follows a different nonsensical line.

We’re then brought to the office of a local newspaper, where a rhinoceros swiftly demolishes the only way out, forcing the staff to evacuate via fire brigade; the show closes in Berenger’s apartment as, one by one, his friends and allies turn into rhinoceroses, evoking a zombie apocalypse.

What was an amusing anomaly in the first scene becomes a looming archetype by the final moments.

Given that the show was written by a Frenchman in the 1950s, we don’t need to beat you over the head with what the rhinos mean, nor do we need to explain why this show feels uncomfortably familiar in 2017.

SFR posed to these actors that audience members might be intimidated by

• There are lots of political parallels, old and current, apparent in this play. …

But this is also a ridiculous and absurd story about a bunch of rhinos. Don’t sprain anything getting lost in the thoughts void about it. (AM) Performances will happen on the Quad, right in the middle of the campus, boxed in by silent dorms, rehearsed in the summer ghost town of the Greer Garson Theatre. Of course, there is the rhinoceros in the room—What will Santa Fe do without these students?—but for now, it may just be easiest to enjoy their production and answer the big questions some other time.

RHINOCEROS 6:30 pm Thursday and Friday Aug. 10 and 11. Free. The Quad, Santa Fe University of Art and Design, 1600 St. Michael’s Drive, 473-6011.

A World Without Coffee

I

f you’re like me, you drink your weight in coffee on any given day.

So, like me, you probably also spend a lot of time scouring the internet for news on coffee production and the impact of climate change on that production. Right?

This might be news to you, but coffee is already falling victim to environmental changes. Now, this isn’t happening tomorrow, but within a few decades that cup could cost you twice as much. That’s if you can get it at all.

There are a lot of factors that contribute to this: Coffee grows in high-altitude areas along the equator—it likes tropic rainfall but not tropic heat. It likes altitude but not freezing temperatures. It’s the definition of finicky. Think Goldilocks and her beds.

Over the last two decades, many coffee-producing countries have faced dramatic weather patterns from drought to downpour. Reuters India reported last year that the 2016-2017 coffee crop was projected to have the lowest yield since 1998-1999. The warming climate has also unleashed insects and plant blights that have devastated crops in Costa Rica, Brazil and Ethiopia. The corporations that control coffee (Starbucks, mainly) have invested millions to hybridize new varieties and to replace the plants destroyed by these events.

In the spirit of trying to plan ahead for a no-coffee future, I visited a couple local coffee shops to see what alternatives I could find.

Professional Counselors and Peer Supports are here to HEAR YOU 24 /7/365

I love tea, but I went looking for non-tea options as well, since this wouldn’t be a challenging quest otherwise. I also decided to look for only iced options because it is August. I found two contenders to potentially add to my future morning routine that don’t rely on the imperiled plant.

The sharpness of the vinegar definitely wakes you up a bit, so it works as a kick in the pants. This is the key to this kind of drink; it refreshes by igniting your taste buds, and the fruit adds a nice palatable sweetness. I found the tartness to be a bit like drinking one of those trendy sour fruit beers.

A few columns ago, I gave a recipe for making your very own switchel at home (May 24: “Switchel It Up”). That recipe was an example of a family of drinks called shrubs that are basically vinegar with water and other things. Java Joe’s is offering their blend of fruit preserve, cider vinegar and sparkling water made to order in front of you. There are two flavors available: blackberry mint and pineapple sage in a healthy 16-oz. size for $4.25.

I went with the blackberry mint—it just sounded better in the moment.

non-coffee world. Late last summer Ohori’s added matcha lattes and a small range of made-to-order Italian sodas, but the most interesting new thing on the menu is the rooibos espresso. Rooibos is an African bush that produces dark red leaves that can be dried and made into a vitamin C-rich tea.

Using a product called Red Espresso, they make rooibos shots by running the tea through the espresso machine to produce a deep, rich, insanely concentrated drink that has the feel of coffee. The best part is that it can be used as a substitute in any espresso drink. I got a 16-oz. iced rooibos latte ($4.15) and added a touch of simple syrup to it. The drink has elements of honey and light tobacco, which sounds weird but works. It definitely has an earthy taste, but this makes it a good coffee substitute (I found that the vitamin C made me feel a tad zippier as well).

Of the two drinks, this is the one I could see myself drinking every day.

Not one of the cafes in town seems to have jumped on the golden milk trend, though.

This was all the rage in café culture last year. It’s a blend of turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon and honey and is usually made with a non-dairy milk like coconut or almond. It is energizing and amazing and I hope to see it on at least one menu in the next few months because it is definitely good for you, and definitely the coffee alternative I want in my life. And we might just need alternatives before you know it.

Financing Solar: A Quick and Clean Guide The dollars and cents of sustainable energy for your home or business

While most Americans know that solar is a smart bet for the environment and for self-reliance, here’s a surprising fact about installing rooftop solar panels:

While a rooftop solar system might have cost as much as a luxury car a decade ago, the same system will cost as much as an economy car—less than $18,000 on average—today. Installation costs are down to less than half what they were in 2008. Given rising prices for utility electric, solar’s return on investment is better than ever. A typical system installed today will pay for itself through electricity savings in anywhere from a couple of years to 10 years—with five years being the average. And, because the 30% tax credit starts scaling down in 2019, there are advantages to installing panels sooner rather than later. This is the time to go solar.

According to a recent study from North Carolina State University, homeowners who invest in a 5 kilowatt solar system will, on average, earn a better return than they would investing in stocks.

Still, going solar is a big decision and a serious investment. Here are three financial questions to consider before installing your system:

Most independent experts agree: purchasing solar is best way to go. With a wide range of solar energy loans available—including many with little or no money down—nearly any homeowner or business owner can reap the full financial benefits of a solar system, including tax credits and gains to property values, by investing in the purchase of a system. Yet, one fact is apparent: Whether you lease, take out a loan, or purchase in cash, solar almost always generates significant savings compared to buying electric from the utility.

3. How can I get the best price on a high-quality solar system?

Get multiple quotes, and pick the right provider. But remember: it’s not just the sticker price that matters. SunPower by Positive Energy Solar offers a warranty on workmanship for 25 years as well as a an unmatched 25- year warranty on panels.

To start making your investment in solar, call SunPower by Positive Energy Solar: Our experienced professionals will meet with you to understand your goals, provide design options, counsel you on available tax incentives, and show you how much you can save on electric bills. The evidence is clear: Solar isn’t just responsible and sustainable—it’s financially savvy.

The Dark Tower Review

BEST MOVIE EVER

Like a bullet to the head 10

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

9

A moment comes towards the end of The Dark Tower—Stephen King’s eight-novel series come to life on the big screen—when a thought occurs: “Are they really ending this already? What the hell?” Indeed, the long-percolating project from director Nikolaj Arcel (better known as writer for the original Swedish production of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) crams so very much into so very little time that practically everything suffers, not least of which is the pacing.

We follow a young boy named Jake (Tom Taylor) who, in the wake of his father’s death, has started having dream visions of a man in another world who’s hell-bent on destroying this mysterious dark tower that, like, stops demons from breaking into the multiverse somehow … or something. Of course, everyone from his mom to his therapist to his shit-heel stepdad (or mom’s boyfriend or whatever) doesn’t believe that the visions are real. Jake sure is persistent, though, and when he busts into that other world through some sci-fi portal machine, it turns out he was right the whole time and he’s got psychic superpowers that amount to some sort of telepathic communication ability.

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER

3 + SUPER-COOL IDEA

- SUPER-UNCOOL EXECUTION

An ancient battle was fought and lost here between the Man in Black (a seemingly bored Matthew McConaughey) and the Gunslingers, an ancient order of knights. It is eluded to that they might be related to Arthurian legend somehow … or something. Roland (aka the Gunslinger; Idris Elba, who makes a sincere go of it) is the last of the order, and having also lost his father (plus his buddies), he identifies with and joins Jake to stop the destruction of the tower and kill the Man in Black.

If it sounds cool, that’s because it could have been. But with so much source material and a relatively short running time, we don’t have a chance to care for anyone before the Man in Black’s cartoonish super-villainy gets out of hand. McConaughey plays this in a too-calm-and-collected sort of way, which could say something about how

he’s so evil he doesn’t even bother with emotions, but mostly it feels lacking in drama.

Oh, there are neat little visual tricks that show how the Gunslinger is super-good at reloading his guns in various ways, but the threats never seem particularly perilous and the Man in Black’s motives boil down to “he’s just evil” … or something.

The Dark Tower could have easily been twoplus hours and far more awesome; hell, it could have been two or three movies. In fact, it should have been. But if we had to guess, it’ll probably do pretty poorly and wind up on the cinematic ash heap forgotten to time ... or something.

of love or an examination of the metaphysical, but mostly we get the feeling that C is a little obsessed and wonder why he won’t just move on already. This includes the millennia that pass before his cut-out eyes, and we’ll give Lowery credit for somehow making the idea of time being an infinite loop (see the first season of True Detective for more on that) as boring as he has, but other than an enjoyably surprising appearance from Will Oldham (Bonnie “Prince” Billy himself) as the certifiably bleak Prognosticator, it’s hard to swallow the main events of the film: long shots with nothing happening and the slow yet steady realizations that nothing we do matters, we’re all going to die and when we do, we’ll have to come to terms with choosing to sit through A Ghost Story. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, R, 92 min.

+ BEAUTIFUL, INTERESTING MUSIC - SO MUCH SILENCE, WE NOW FEEL EMPTY

It stands to reason that things will happen in a film: conflict, resolution, love, loss, etc. Apparently, however, this doesn’t apply to writer/ director David Lowery (Pete’s Dragon) when it comes to his new film, A Ghost Story. Attempting to be the tale of a man who dies and then hangs around as a ghost—in an under-a-sheet kinda way—for basically the rest of eternity, what we get instead are drawn-out scenes of utter silence, some baffling storytelling choices and 90-ish solid minutes of your brain screaming for something to happen.

Casey Affleck is C, a homey musician-type on the verge of moving from a house he loves with his wife M (Rooney Mara). They’ve got problems, but we never get into that before C dies in a car wreck right outside their home. M is left to grieve and eat entire pies by herself for some reason while C either stands or sits there, lurking, unable to do much of anything other than knock a few frames around and make lightbulbs get really bright.

One could assume A Ghost Story is meant to be a rumination on the dimensionless power

+ THERE’S NO LOVE STORY - YOU CAN SEE THE PLOT TWISTS COMING FROM A MILE AWAY

It’s 1989 at the height of Cold War. The Iron Curtain still hangs and things are kind of freaky in East Berlin. In short, it ain’t good. But as the opening credits shout in graffiti, “This isn’t that story.”

Based on the 1989 Antony Johnston/ Sam Hart graphic novel The Coldest City, the film Atomic Blonde follows MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton (Charlize Theron) who is sent to Berlin to recover “the list,” highly coveted intel naming double-agents. Among that list is “Satchel,” a double agent for the Queen and for the Soviets, wanted by the Allies for treason.

Broughton’s mission: recover the list and expose Satchel’s identity. Along the way, she meets the shady David Percival (James McAvoy), a fellow agent who indulges in the hedonistic underground culture of East Berlin. The two work together to evacuate Spyglass (Eddie Marsan), the good-guy Stasi officer who has committed the list to memory, and is the Allies’ last shot at obtaining the information.

With a steel-gray and neon palette accompanied by classic ’80s music from the likes of Depeche Mode, David Bowie and The Cure, Atomic Blonde is aesthetically a lot of fun.

But while the production gets a lot right about the ’80s (as a millennial I can only assume), the hair, makeup and costumes felt more contemporary. But maybe that’s not a bad thing; there’s only so much pleather you can wear before it gets tacky.

Theron plays an excellent heartless and calculating spy while McAvoy is her scruffy, ambivalent, wayward counterpart. And while Atomic Blonde is certainly entertaining, it’s a bit predictable. However, the fight choreography and and gorgeous cinematography make up for some of the substance the plot lacks. Atomic Blonde is a treat on the big screen, but it’s not a necessity. Maybe save a few bucks and enjoy Theron’s ass-kicking at home in a few months.

LANDLINE

+ FALCO AND TURTURRO ALWAYS BRING IT

- NOT ENOUGH … ANYTHING

Though the vast majority of the marketing for Landline would have us believe that Parks and Rec alum Jenny Slate is the star of the show, heavy-hitters Edie Falco and Jon Turturro are the real draw here. Of course, Slate has a natural magnetism and can phase from comedic to dramatic without missing a beat; it’s just that she’s relatively unseasoned compared to her costars and would have been just as good making way for them in this Gillian Robespierredirected dramedy.

We follow a Manhattan family in the ’90s as both Dana (Slate) and her father (Turturro) deal with the humdrum realities of long-term

Charlize Theron is like, “Let’s kick out the jams!” in Atomic Blonde.

monogamous relationships. Both indulge in affairs, both are found out, and though their respective partners are ultimately cooler than most folk might be, there is certainly fallout— even if the film glosses over that with either montages or too-short argument scenes that are generally interrupted before a resolution is reached. Newcomer Abby Quinn kills, however, as the youngest daughter, Ali, the perfect representation of a second child grappling with anger, drug experimentation and that sinking feeling that comes with being overshadowed by a more traditionally successful older sibling.

At times funny, at times too heavy-handed, Landline falls into that cinematic middle ground wherein we can’t quite tell if it’s good or not, we just know we hung around until the very end. Those who grew up in the ’90s will enjoy remembering the fashion and hairstyles of the day, while those who came looking for something moving or new will find a couple veteran actors lost in the shuffle of a notquite-funny-enough movie led by perfectly fine actresses who haven’t quite hit gravitas yet.

Falco as the mother is a delight (as always), though, and she absolutely reminds us of our own moms. Turturro, on the other hand, flails with too little to do and a lack of character development. By the end, it boils down to “Oh, you poor white people!” with even the younger sister asking, “How much more vanilla can it get?” Indeed. (ADV) CCA, R, 97 min.

DUNKIRK

10

+ RELENTLESS YET BEAUTIFUL - LOTS OF PEOPLE JUMPING OFF SHIPS

In 1940, near the start of World War II, the Allied forces suffered a tremendous defeat against German troops in the town of Dunkirk in France. Subsequently, 300,000 soldiers would be evacuated by military and civilian watercraft, but not before immeasurable losses. It’s a harrowing tale not known to many who aren’t WWII buffs before now, but in Christopher Nolan’s sprawling yet concisely told Dunkirk, we see the tragic events play out with a relentless pace and attention to detail.

We follow three main narratives; that of soldiers stranded on a beach waiting for rescue over the period of a week, an hour in the lives of British fighter pilots, and a single day for a civilian pleasure yacht captain who helps retrieve said soldiers alongside his son and his son’s friend. Nolan presents an off-kilter look at each timeline, weaving in and out of the stories, though Dunkirk never feels disjointed. Rather, as bits and pieces from each angle are revealed, we begin to understand the incredible scope of the evacuation and just how lucky the survivors really were, though we’re faced with some hard truths before the credits roll.

It is, in fact, somewhat rare to see a mainstream film that deviates from the cinematic formula, but Nolan doesn’t let up for an instant.

From the terrifying desperation of those stranded on the beach to a shell-shocked soldier (Cillian Murphy of Netflix series Peaky Blinders as well as Nolan’s Batman films) too broken to return to battle and a selfless dogfighter (Tom Hardy) barely hobbling along in the sky, dialogue becomes sparse compared to the frantic reality of sinking ships, dropped shells and the cruelty of the human survival instinct.

Of course, there are only so many times you can see a bunch of soldiers abandon a ship, and the jarring nature of the heaving seas becomes nearly as difficult to watch as the violence. Still, moving performances from Mark Rylance and Kenneth Branagh—not to mention a surprisingly natural turn from Harry Styles (yeah, from One Direction)—remain a joy to watch, and the utter unfairness and brutality of war hang heavy over every last scene.

This isn’t just one of the best war movies in recent memory, it’s one that will no doubt be shown in schools and referred to forever as an artful depiction of one of the ugliest chapters in human history. Just do yourselves a favor and pop into the Jean Cocteau Cinema for the 35mm version, a form in which Nolan intended the film to be seen. It’s worth it. (ADV) Jean Cocteau Cinema, Regal, Violet Crown, R, 106 min.

VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS

8

+ BEAUTIFUL, EXCITING - LOVE, SCHMUV

If there’s one thing we know Fifth Element director Luc Besson can pull off, it’s wildly fun over-thetop sci-fi, and he does not disappoint with Valerian—to a point. Whereas the world-building and CGI hits that utterly gorgeous sweet spot, Besson, who also helmed 1994 fan fave Léon: The Professional, becomes mired in mediocre writing, a few goofy missteps and an almost-tired story about how big ol’ government entities are always stepping on the little guy.

Valerian is adapted from the French serial comic Valérian and Laureline (which debuted in 1967) wherein we follow a brash young soldier named Valerian (here played by A Cure for Wellness’ Dane DeHaan) and his underling partner Laureline (Cara Delevingne of Suicide Squad)— with whom our hero happens to have fallen in love. As the partners are swept up into the world of military buffoonery and action-packed space missions in and around the space station Alpha (a sprawling interstellar city that hosts living creatures from a thousand planets), they begin to question their superiors and step way outside

If you haven’t seen Dunkirk yet, your’e living wrong.

protocol to right the wrongs of their people’s past. Y’know, because they’re good guys like that.

Alpha itself is gorgeous, a bizarre mix of Bladerunner and anime that almost hits video game territory in terms of scale and style, but still feels like a living, breathing metropolis.

Diplomatic relations are tense, but Valerian and Laureline are, of course, not sticklers for the rules. They know right from wrong, which would grow tedious were it not for some stunning sequences that not only fall into ain’t-it-cool territory, but show off Besson’s imaginative ideas of future tech, aliens, etc. Sadly, however, the running time starts to push things, and a baffling mid-film music video featuring Rihanna (yes, that Rihanna) fails to recall the likes of that brilliant Fifth Element opera scene and instead feels like some confused film exec insisted on inserting more sex into the thing. An inter-dimensional market chase, however, is clever and original in a Futurama-like vein right down to an appearance from John Goodman’s voice.

Regardless, for those seeking a fun time at the movies, this oughta do just fine if you don’t go looking for anything deep or groundbreaking.

Lasers are fired, the aliens look cool and the opening sequence to the tune of David Bowie is perfect. Perhaps Valerian doesn’t become a giant leap for mankind, but it does hit the dizzying highs of space intrigue, and that’s just how we like it. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 137 min.

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES

7

+ INCREDIBLE EFFECTS; LOVED BAD APE! - LAGS IN THE MIDDLE

If you haven’t been following the Planet of the Apes timeline, it started with a James Franco-created super-ape named Caesar (played by the ever-brilliant motion capture superstar Andy Serkis, whom you probably know better as Gollum) who became extra-sentient, rounded up a bunch of other apes and then moved into the woods to ape it up and live peacefully. Humans, of course, couldn’t jive with this plan, especially since the rise of apes brought with it a horrible virus called the Simian Flu. What few humans remained became understandably bummed, and by the time we catch up with everyone in War for the Planet of the Apes, things have become pretty rough.

Caesar and his pals are holed up in a hidden fortress beneath a waterfall, but this doesn’t sit well with The Colonel (Woody Harrelson), a Kurtz-esque army dude who’s basically gone nuts, defected from the skeletal government and kills or imprisons any ape or virus victim he

comes across. Caesar isn’t down, but he’s been through the shit already and just kind of wants to move to the desert with his family … y’know, to find himself and maybe take up painting. But when The Colonel just won’t let it go, Caesar and his ape pals Maurice, Rocket and Luca set out to even the score and ensure the safety of their kind.

Serkis is, as always, fantastic, both as a voice and motion capture actor, and the CGI of Apes is so phenomenal it’s practically indistinguishable from the real thing. Harrelson, however, is underused, showing up only to make jerkish comments and shoot apes now and then. Still, despite a clunky middle section that drags on entirely too long, the battle sequences and subtle nods to classic cinema do make for a riveting film. Steve Zahn as the comedic Bad Ape kind of makes it worth it alone, even if he diffuses heavier moments before they’ve had a chance to land. Regardless, the series of reboots (or is it prequels?) brings up some good points about the uglier parts of humanity and how fear can drive the worst of us to commit unspeakable acts. Apes indeed becomes better than one might assume, though unless you were already planning on being there, you can probably just wait and watch it at home. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 140 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT CONSCIOUSNESS Rob Brezsny

Week of August 9th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I hope you’re making wise use of the surging fertility that has been coursing through you. Maybe you’ve been reinventing a longterm relationship that needed creative tinkering. Perhaps you have been hammering together an innovative business deal or generating new material for your artistic practice. It’s possible you have discovered how to express feelings and ideas that have been half-mute or inaccessible for a long time. If for some weird reason you are not yet having experiences like these, get to work! There’s still time to tap into the fecundity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is the Season of Enlightenment for you. That doesn’t necessarily mean you will achieve an ultimate state of divine grace. It’s not a guarantee that you’ll be freestyling in satori, samadhi, or nirvana. But one thing is certain: Life will conspire to bring you the excited joy that comes with deep insight into the nature of reality. If you decide to take advantage of the opportunity, please keep in mind these thoughts from designer Elissa Giles: “Enlightenment is not an asexual, dispassionate, head-in-the-clouds, nails-in-thepalms disappearance from the game of life. It’s a volcanic, kick-ass, erotic commitment to love in action, coupled with hard-headed practical grist.”

play case.” Here’s another clue to your current assignment, Taurus, from psychotherapist Dick Olney: “The goal of a good therapist is to help someone wake up from the dream that they are their self-image.”

tap into the power of your inner wild animal so as to protect your inner crops? Could you build up your warrior energy so as to prevent run-ins with pesky irritants?

Can you call on helpful spirits to ensure that what’s growing in your life will continue to thrive?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sometimes, Gemini, loving you is a sacred honor for me -- equivalent to getting a poem on my birthday from the Dalai Lama. On other occasions, loving you is more like trying to lap up a delicious milkshake that has spilled on the sidewalk, or slowdancing with a giant robot teddy bear that accidentally knocks me down when it suffers a glitch. I don’t take it personally when I encounter the more challenging sides of you, since you are always an interesting place to visit.

But could you maybe show more mercy to the people in your life who are not just visitors? Remind your dear allies of the obvious secret -- that you’re composed of several different selves, each of whom craves different thrills.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The fates have conspired to make it right and proper for you to be influenced by Sagittarian author Mark Twain. There are five specific bits of his wisdom that will serve as benevolent tweaks to your attitude. I hope you will also aspire to express some of his expansive snappiness. Now here’s Twain: 1. “You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” 2. “Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned.” 3. “It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.” 4. “When in doubt, tell the truth.” 5. “Thunder is good, thunder is impresCANCER (June 21-July 22): Liz, my girlfriend when I was sive; but it is lightning that does the work.” young, went to extreme lengths to cultivate her physical CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “My grandfather used to attractiveness. “Beauty must suffer,” her mother had tell me that if you stir muddy water it will only get darktold her while growing up, and Liz heeded that advice. er,” wrote I.

Phoenix

70 lb 2 years, 3 months old Neutered Female

If you’re looking for big teddy bear pal, you might just be looking for Phoenix. She is a two year old, 70 pound lovable lady who could shed a few pounds.

She’s friendly and loves to be around people.

She gets along with other dogs, but is even more interested in exploring and sniffing around. She’s a pretty great hiking pal with all her happiness and energy, too. Phoenix came from another shelter, so we are just getting to know her, but we already know we like her, and we bet you will too!

Peppa

Lebron

65 lb 2 years, 6 months old Neutered Male

Meet Lebron! He is as much as a winner as 3x NBA Champion for the Cleveland Cavaliers! He also is a smart boy who completed the Canine Good Citizenship obedience class and passed with flying colors! He is a 2-year-old, tan Mixed Breed. He weighs about 65 lbs which we think is a healthy weight for him. Lebron is very sweet, when he walks through the lobby after playing with his buddies, he always lets us pet him and sits down for attention.

He is a playful pupper and gets easily attached to the person handling him: his ability to keep the mood light and happy are what make Lebron a great companion.

51 lb 1 years, 1 months old Neutered Female

Peppa is a one-year-old mixed breed girl who came to the shelter because her owner could no longer care for her. She is friendly, walks nicely on leash and would love to come home with you today!! Peppa weighs about 51 pounds currently which seems like a healthy weight for her. She is an active girl who likes to play and go for long walks.

Pizza

Lasagna

41 lb 8 years old Neutered Female

Who doesn’t love Pizza?! She is a GORGEOUS 8-year-old mixed breed dog who came the animal shelter with her best friend Lasagna because their owner could no longer care for them. Pizza will quickly steal your heart with her friendly and affectionate ways. She has a blue and black speckled coat and currently weighs about 41 pounds.

35 lb 8 years old Neutered Female

Lasagna is a mellow girl who enjoys leisurely walks and sniffing a little bit along the way. She has a beautiful red speckled coat and an even better personality! She also enjoys playing with her pal Pizza.

Sometimes we even see them wrestling together. They are two cute peas in a pod that might be part cattle dog. Lasagna currently weighs about 35 pounds and enjoys a good ear as well as back massage. If you are looking for two sweet dogs to add to your pack, we think these two girls are the absolute best!
