Keep the “vibrant, persistent, soulful and connected alt weekly” COURTESY JASON SILVERMAN
Over decades, our entire nation has been slowly invaded by market-tested, cookie-cutter, faux-thentic, utterly cynical chains. Restaurants, hardware stores, movie theaters, ice cream shops, radio stations: all designed in some cubicle in some city far from our home. The music you hear across most of our dial is being chosen in some suburb of San Antonio. The money you just spent on that burger is heading back to Washington, DC. What makes Santa Fe one of the most awesome places is that it is still … real. We have family-run breakfast places, not-for-profit theaters and art spaces, boutiques run by your friend’s friend and locally programmed radio. Money you spend at these places nurtures our whole city. And, best of all, we have an independent press. I love The New Mexican and the Santa Fean and THE, and the little spiritual magazines that pop up and then disappear. But I love, just a little bit harder, the Santa Fe Reporter. Independent weeklies rocked my world when I was a teenager—I discovered an alternative portal to the world. Free weeklies taught me about weird movies, strange and magical music, sexual diversity and radical politics. I’d read them obsessively—they were and remain my first stop whenever I travel. Santa Fe is blessed to have a vibrant, persistent, soulful and connected alt weekly. The Santa Fe Reporter is by us and for us. It is one of the reasons Santa Fe remains its own distinctive, free-thinking, openhearted places anywhere.

Ahead of the Game
SFPS sees mix of decreases, increases of youth concussions in football programs
Head-to-head or headto-body and head-toground contact are all causes of concussions.
B Y K AT H E R I N E L E W I N k a t h e r i n e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
A
n August sun glints off dozens of silver and black helmets as the Capital High School football Jaguars run drills, laps and various plays. Coaches scatter throughout the pack of perspiring athletes as they practice proper tackling techniques with mountains rising to the south, behind the metallic bleachers. As the young men step up to teammates on the other side of the scrimmage line, wrapping their arms around them and lifting upwards, careful to move their heads to the side, head coach Bill Moon stresses that players’ heads must be kept “out of the game.” Moon isn’t suggesting his players stop thinking on the field. Rather, he’s teaching them to avoid what has become a national flashpoint in football: concussions and the long-term effects of multiple hard hits to the head. “Basically, the rule is don’t initiate contact with the head. That’ll take care of most everything,” Moon explains to SFR, his hands behind his back as he watches an assistant correct a freshman’s technique. “The ground is always there and there’s not much we can do about it, so
we want to strengthen the body during the off season, strengthen the neck and shoulders, and train how to fall.” The consequences of concussions in both scholastic and non-scholastic youth athletics, as well as in the NFL, exploded into the national conversation after Dr. Bennet Omalu, a pathologist, discovered damage in NFL player Mike Webster’s brain and attributed it to repeated severe concussions without sufficient recovery time before Webster was sent back onto the field. Omalu believed the damage, which he called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, caused Webster’s erratic behavior prior to his death, and also could have contributed to depression and neurological disorders in other players of contact sports such as football and hockey. The debate about concussion prevention and diagnosis has touched New Mexico, too. Trainers who are tracking concussions have been in place at every youth sports practice and game for the last three years here, contracted through Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, according to documents provided to SFR through a request under the Inspection of Public Records Act.
Their data shows that the number of concussions at the Southside’s Capital High School has increased slightly from the 2016-17 school year, when there were four, to seven the following year. Three were reported in football, two in soccer, one in wrestling and one in basketball. Santa Fe High School has seen a sharp decline in concussions during the same time period, from 21 to just five: one in football, one in soccer, two in wrestling and one in cheer. While the district was willing to provide the numbers of concussions for three years, the step-by-step process by which they deal with them remains murky because officials have so far refused to release individual concussion reports. Santa Fe Public School District Athletics Director Hilario (Larry Jr.) Chavez attributes the decrease to improved coaching techniques. “It’s nothing we’ve done differently,” Chavez tells SFR. “If [the coaches have] prepared and coached the proper way, technique can reduce concussions. It’s not so much the equipment. Proper coaching and technique leads to a decrease in the amounts of concussions.” Moon agrees that experienced coaches who understand how to teach techniques to avoid initiating contact with the head
NEWS
is important, as is having proper safety equipment for student athletes. “Hire professional coaches as a way to prevent concussions, have proper facilities for off-season training,” Moon tells SFR. Warning the students with an “over the top” message on the first page of the playbook about the dangers of concussions to get their attention is also part of his strategy. However, head-to-head or head-tobody contact is not where all concussions occur in football. Many occur when students hit the ground with their heads. “Our helmets are very light but very durable,” Moon says. “They’re the highest-rated helmets in America. We buy top of the line helmets, they’re $300 each. The helmet will handle ground impact if the ground is safe. We want a safe helmet and a safe field. Nobody thinks of the field as a piece of safety equipment. It is the second most important safety equipment in all of sport.” But concussions just aren’t avoidable in any contact sport. To more easily detect a concussion when an athlete isn’t sure or doesn’t want to admit they have one in order to stay in the game, the school district says that they use baseline testing with a software called IMPACT contracted through Christus St. Vincent. According to the Center for Disease Control, baseline testing is an exam conducted by a trained health care professional to assess cognitive function, such as memory, balance, ability to concentrate and how quickly the athlete thinks and solves problems. When a concussion has possibly occurred, they can take the test again and see how they measure up against their “baseline.” SFPS only uses IMPACT for high school football players. On average, about 20 football players per season elect to take the optional baseline test, according to Chavez, and the district is “looking at” expanding the testing to other sports as the science around concussions continues to improve. Moon agrees that more medical research needs to be done to also look into exactly what factors go into CTE in the most severe cases. He thinks more football players, whether professionals or former student athletes, should donate their brains to science after death. “I’m fierce about protecting my players,” he says. “I don’t want to give them a false sense of safety or fear. … If we find out that there’s an outcome that ought not to be tolerated, there is no Second Amendment for sport and no justification for hurting children, so we have to guard against it. We want to be successful on the field and also guard safety.”

effective option among several possible alternatives that include purifying effluent back to potable standards for municipal use. Under the return flow credit proposal, effluent would be diverted into a pipeline and discharged back into the Rio Grande just downstream from the Buckman Direct Diversion Water Treatment Plant that takes water from the Rio Grande and pipes it up toward city and county taps. So far, the city estimates that building the pipeline would cost about $20 million. It has set aside $1.2 million in the capital improvement budget for preliminary engineering design and permitting, and is seeking grants to cover further costs of construction. If the project meets muster from state and federal officials, the city proposes to divert an extra acre-foot of fresh water from the Rio Grande for municipal use

SOURCE: 2016 CITY OF SANTA FE WATER REUSE FEASIBILITY STUDY BY CAROLLO
E
very day, 5 million gallons of water from Santa Fe’s toilets, sinks and gutters flow into the Paseo Real Wastewater Treatment Facility. There the water gets churned and filtered, settled, sifted, aerated and zapped by ultraviolet lights until it finally leaves the plant again through a pipe on the southwest side, clean enough to pipe back up to the city’s golf courses and green spaces and to flow down the Santa Fe River. Some of that water seeps through the riverbed into the underlying aquifer and some of it is used to irrigate farms and ranches in the downstream communities of La Cienega, La Bajada and Cochiti Pueblo. But the city has other, grander plans for wastewater that are raising concerns among some downstream users and environmental advocates. Last week in La Cienega, city and county employees, members of local environmental groups, and downstream ranchers and farmers who make up the Santa Fe River Community Collaborative met in the La Cienega Community Building to discuss a range of issues that impact the river downstream from the treatment plant, including a proposed return flow credit pipeline that is part of the city’s strategy to address future water shortages. It’s a proposal that has quietly been in the works for years, but has recently started to generate both more scrutiny and support. In response to a 2015 study indicating the likelihood that Santa Fe could face indefinitely prolonged drought condi-

in exchange for every acre-foot of effluent that it released back into the river through the pipeline. This is what makes it an attractive option for the city, especially during the winter months, explains Water Diversion Director Jesse Roach. “The return flow pipeline is intended only for returning water that was imported from outside of the Santa Fe Watershed to the Rio Grande,” he tells SFR in an email, adding, by phone, “It’s really the best option for getting the most out of our water and would make it easier to develop other reuse strategies down the road. All those other alternatives are still on the table, but at the moment the pipeline is the lowest hanging fruit and the most effective economic, environmental, and social option we have.” Not everyone agrees that this is the best way for the city to reuse its water. At the community meeting last week, Neil Williams, who identified himself as an engineer and member of the local Sierra Club, opened the meeting by highlighting what he sees as red flags in the city’s return flow credit pipeline proposal. “I don’t think that a lot of the flaws of this project have been actively discussed,” said Williams, listing water treatment standards—which are lower for the Rio Grande than they are for the Santa Fe River—costs of the project, and lack of outreach to downstream users as reasons for concern. But mostly, Williams was concerned that the city’s report did not adequately address dependence on groundwater and the depletion of the local aquifer, or the possibility of using the city’s effluent water to develop aquifer storage and recharge strategies. Bill Schneider, the water resources coordinator for the city, countered that the city needs to consider how it will provide residents with water in the unlikely case that the water supply in the reservoir becomes unusable, such as if a fire were to occur in the Santa Fe watershed, contaminating one of the city’s primary source of fresh water. In the case of short-term water emergencies and long-term shortages, the city might have no other options than to take more water from the Rio Grande, Schneider said at the meeting, adding that purchasing more Rio Grande water rights would be a much more costly and unreliable option than putting the return flow pipeline into action ahead of the game. The proposed pipeline is not yet under construction and is still in the proposal stage, and the city promises more public input sessions are to come this fall.

Back To School Reading List For Grown-Ups
T
here’s no denying it now, fall is upon us: College students have amassed piles of costly textbooks, high schoolers are preparing to endure the classics, and the young ones are sitting cross-legged on the floor in the school library. Sure, it’s still going to get close to 90 degrees in the hottest part of the day, and we’re weeks away from the aspen making a golden heart on the mountain, but the heyday of summer has most assuredly passed. We believe it’s the perfect time to work down a list of new books. The writers for this year’s Back to Reading School List for Grown-ups were split about evenly down the middle in terms of who prefers the stiff pages of a physical copy and who would rather read on a screen—yet we’re still making the case that a book is a book is a book. And we think those with regional connections are worth consideration. Most, but not all, of these fit that bill. Among the list is a short story by Northern New Mexican Rebecca Roanhorse; a memoir by Erica Elliot, a doctor who worked on the Navajo Nation; an investigation into conspiracy theories by a Santa Fe native and more. We chose these because we enjoyed reading them. It’s an eclectic mix, not unlike the mixtape from that one summer trip to the beach for which we are still pining. So, sit down with the cat, say goodbye to summer and get to reading!

Republic of Lies American Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise to Power By Anna Merlan In 2015, Santa Fe born and raised, Los Angeles- based journalist Anna Merlan spent a week on a conspiracy-themed cruise full of people she generally dismissed as nutty based on the unlikely theories they held—about everything from alien abductions to the theory that Donald Trump would inevitably win the election because unlike most politicians, he was a “truth-teller.” But in the wake of Trump’s victory, as the rest of us tried to process our shell-shocked confusion while asking ourselves, “How could this happen?” Merlan, at least, had an inkling of where to look for answers. We never thought we’d say that a book exploring the belief systems of Holocaust deniers and those peddling wack cancer cures should be required reading. Yet, through the lens of these theories emerges a clearer understanding of how we got to where we are—one that seems urgent and necessary as we move toward a second round of the Trump election cycle drama. Republic of Lies takes us on a fascinating, mind-bending trip through some of the darkest and most farfetched corners of America’s conspiracy culture that gave us goosebumps and left us nervous for days.
Trump rode into office on a wave of white supremacist conspiracy theories about Barack Obama and fake news. It was a wave that brought the alt-right nationalist agenda closer to the mainstream than it’s been in decades, and also gave once fringe conspiracy peddlers a legitimate stage in the national dialogue. People like Alex Jones, for instance, whose farright media site InfoWars has published content claiming that rape is impossible, that climate change doesn’t exist, and that the families of mass-shooting victims are actors faking tragedy. What feels particularly ironic, though, especially in a place like Santa Fe, is that one of Jones’s most profitable schemes is an online alternative medicine store selling everything from common-place natural supplements to seriously sketchy remedies for life-threatening diseases. How is it possible that alt-right extremism and new-age alternative medicine could so seamlessly overlap? With these kinds of questions, Merlan challenges our willingness to suspend disbelief when it suits us. Because the thing is, all of us are susceptible to conspiratorial thinking. As Merlan so deftly highlights, conspiracy theories are woven into the fabric of American culture, and plague all areas of American life on both sides of the political spectrum, across all religious, socio-economic, and racial boundaries. This is partly because Americans have been subjected to true—and harrowing—conspiracies, such as the forced sterilization of African Americans and Native Americans, radiation testing on unwitting residents at mental healthcare facilities, and CIA interventions in foreign coups. The problem is that when the very mechanisms society depends on to establish truth—science, journalism, even democracy—are undermined, when we no longer know what or who to believe, we are all the more likely turn to suspicion and selfrighteousness, and sometimes, even, to extremism. Republic of Lies is a call to hold ourselves accountable for the half-truths we perpetuate and our own cozy eco-chambers. (Leah Cantor)

The Life of Gabriel García Márquez Told with Help from his Friends, Family, Fans, Arguers, Fellow Pranksters, Drunks, and A Few Respectable Souls
By John Waters Filmmaker John Waters may just be America’s most precious natural resource, and he must be protected at all costs. This goes double for when he’s doling out pearls of literary wisdom gleaned over a lifetime as moviemaking’s most venerable filth auteur and bad taste guru, lessons from which he’s happy to share in his latest book. Waters takes great strides to look back over his storied career in lurid detail, giving up the inside info on triumphs, failures, financing and marketing bon mots as only he can—glibly and oozing with charming attitude and a near-eidetic level of recall for every last piece of work he’s made. From the days of Divine eating dog shit in 1970’s Multiple Maniacs to the unexpected smashing success of 1988’s Hairspray and its many offshoot iterations, Waters leaves no question unanswered, be it Johnny Depp’s impact on their respective careers with 1990’s Cry-Baby, who at New Line Cinema championed the best and worst of his work, or what he thinks about Warhol, Studio 54, Patricia Hearst, Divine’s death and on and on and on right up to the contemplation of his own death—after the chapter about dropping acid with Mink Stole at his Massachusetts vacation home, of course. Presented as a guide (of sorts) to your own personal, cultural and filmmaking success, Waters’ takes are raucously funny and endlessly inspiring, even in moments that feel more like filler than sincere advice. But then, he can do whatever he wants and we’ll still line up to find out what it might be. Bet it’ll be gross. (Alex De Vore)
By Marin Sardy The sketches Marin Sardy references in the title of her memoir inform the author’s structural choices in composing the narrative of her family’s history with schizophrenia. Though chaptered and composed against a chronological spine, the narrative fragments, associates and weaves together images, ideas and research into a textured and nuanced tapestry that is both deeply personal as well as universally moving. Sardy grew up in Alaska with a mother whose slide into schizophrenia when the author was 10 created chaos throughout her childhood—a sense of pervasive unsteadiness Sardy conveys through footnotes in a chapter in which she relays and examines a childhood memory of the family balancing eggs on the equinox (a phenomena she’s unable to replicate in adulthood). In another chapter, “Conversations with Family,” Sardy captures her relatives’ responses to questions she posed about her mother’s illness, omitting the questions to allow their quotes to create the substratum of narrative. Her brother Tom began to show signs of schizophrenia in his 20s. Sardy travels with him to Costa Rica, she writes, “so I can watch him closely and see what is happening—if it is happening.” Eventually, it becomes clear that it is, indeed, happening, and continues to happen in stages over the next decade. By 2009, Tom is homeless on the streets of Anchorage, while Sardy lives in a variety of places, pursuing her work as a writer (including Santa Fe, where Sardy was an art critic for SFR). Although her brother’s suicide toward the end of the book does not come as a surprise—Sardy lays the groundwork for his death—the sense of inevitability is no less gutting. Throughout his illness, Sardy’s work deepened into ongoing study and writing about mental illness (many previous essays appear in some form in this book). Though its terrain is myriad, The Edge of Every Day returns repeatedly to Sardy’s quest to understand, to employ, as she writes, the theory of mind, i.e. “the capacity to imagine oneself into the mind of another” regardless of neurology. The book, as a result, is narratively compelling and exquisitely written but, perhaps more importantly, infused with love and empathy. (Julia Goldberg)
By Silvana Paternostro “That’s why One Hundred Years of Solitude sells so much and is read so much,” Cartagenan academic Margarita de la Vega says of the groundbreaking work by author Gabriel García Márquez, “… because you can be a Colombian janitor … and understand it on a level different from the level of the scholar who looks up all the references and all that nonsense.” The deep Colombianness of the book is paramount, she says, and its accessibility is key to its success. Accessibility is also key in Solitude & Company, a new book from Colombian journalist Silvana Paternostro. Pulling away from the sticky convention of scholarly study and academic rigor (though there’s plenty of that in here as well), Solitude & Company is comprised entirely of interviews with those closest to the famed author as they tell the story of his writerly life. To understand the legendary figure as those interviewed do, however, we zoom even further out to explore the sociopolitical situation in Colombia throughout García Márquez’ life, as well as zoom in to his family history to better understand the world from which he came. “He was defensively simple,” says Emmanuel Carballo, Mexican academic and friend of García Márquez. “He seemed like anything but a writer. … He didn’t speak a language filled with literary figures and exquisite words, he spoke the way everybody else does. In fact, he played at being so simple that he disarmed the pedants.” These are the kinds of voices we consistently hear in the book: Those who drank with Gabo, who laughed with him, who sat with him while his wife racked up deep debt at the grocer as he took 18 months off work to write One Hundred Years of Solitude. (“Now all we need is for that novel to be a piece of shit,” grumbled Mercedes, aka Ms. Gabo, according to close friend of the author Guillermo Angulo.) It’s a unique glimpse into the life of a man who has become as much a myth as the magical stories he penned, as only someone like Paternostro could have crafted over decades of dedication. Hot tip: Don’t miss the glossary of speakers in the back. You will lose track of who’s who, but page 330 has your back. (Charlotte Jusinski) CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert My Life Among the Navajo People By Erica M Elliott, MD When I first read Dr. Erica Elliott’s memoir in April of this year, I wrote for SFR: “By page six of Medicine and Miracles, I had already emailed [the author] to request an interview. By the 10th page, I was in tears. Four hours later, I’d finished Elliott’s memoir of her time as a white woman teaching, herding sheep and practicing medicine on the Navajo Reservation in the 1970s and ’80s.” My love affair with the book and my fondness for the speaker presented therein has not diminished since this initial rush of excitement. I was ready for the story to be as problematic as one would expect a white woman’s memoir of her time

in Navajo country to be, but there was not a single whiff of benevolent missionary or white savior in its 181 pages. From tales of incredible healing ceremonies to her adventures in Canyon de Chelly with her students’ families, Elliott vibrantly describes her experiences thanks in large part to detailed journals she kept at the time (this book covers 1971 to 1976, with a sort of epilogue touching upon 1976 to 1988). One of the reasons Elliott says she chose to tell the stories now, 40 years later, is because “I can’t go around my whole life holding in this story; it’s too important.” What held her back for so long was a fear that no one would believe her—but perhaps desperate times call for desperate measures. Elliott takes an unflinching look at her own shortcomings when it came to her adjustment to Navajo lifestyle and desert life, and paints a complex picture of the people who welcomed her onto their land. While she was deeply connected with the folks she spent time with in Chinle, the story takes occasional dark turns as well, as she and a friend are assaulted while out on the town and neighbors gathered outside her bathroom window to watch her showering silhouette move across the panes. She is not purely ignorant or perfect, and the people she meets are not purely wise or troublesome; everyone in this book is a prismatic, complicated human being, and Elliott does them all justice—including herself.

New Suns
Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color Edited by Nisi Shawl People of color have been largely absent from mainstream fiction, both as main characters and authors. Editor Nisi Shawl aims to remedy that, bringing together 17 unique stories written by authors of color in New Suns, an anthology of works that fall under the speculative fiction genre. Even if you’ve never heard the phrase “speculative fiction,” you’re familiar with the genre; it’s an umbrella category encompassing any work of fiction that contains elements that do not exist within the real world. Think fantasy, horror, supernatural, superhero, fairytales or science fiction. Filled with fascinating stories of
new worlds, the offerings in the collection are as diverse as its writers. Notably, New Suns features a story by award-winning Northern New Mexico author Rebecca Roanhorse, who has made a name for herself in the speculative fiction genre with her Sixth World book series (start with Trail of Lightning if you want to give that series a try). For her part, Roanhorse, whose heritage is Okhay Owingeh and African American, gives a modernday imagining of the legendary “deer woman” of Native American mythology in the story “Harvest.” Roanhorse’s version finds a young Native American woman, Tansi, seduced by the siren-like deer woman and persuaded into a macabre revenge plot on her behalf. Though one of the shorter offerings in the book, “Harvest” is a definite page-turner. Furthering the local connection, New Mexico serves as home for Tansi, a culinary student living in New York. Other stories in the book include Tobias S Buckell’s “The Galactic Tourist Industrial Complex,” which imagines a future Manhattan as a top tourist destination for extraterrestrial visitors. “Kelsey and the Burdened Breath,” by Darice Little Badger (Lipan Apache) is another story that borrows from the writer’s Indigenous supernatural lore, where the main character rounds up lost souls of the dead with her ghost dog. Every story in the book might not speak to you—and that’s ok— but you’re sure to find something that captures your attention. (Nicole Madrid)
Penny Nichols
On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous
The River
By MK Reed, Greg Means and Matt Wiegle
By Ocean Vuong
When an aimless temp with serious sibling issues and a seemingly hollow existence meets a cadre of indie horror movie buffs by happenstance, she’s thrust into their shoestring world of amateur filmmaking, a world in which she finally belongs. MK Reed’s graphic novel Penny Nichols is all at once charming, hysterical, true to life and moving as a portrait of modern, shiftless, late-stage millennial madness unfolds: a place where those of a certain age might peer in and see themselves, and a place where anyone else will be glad just to tag along. Reed’s sharp, incisive dialogue melds brilliantly with Means and Wiegle’s punk-rock shtick and memorable design. Each character feels all too real, like someone we know, from the overly-passionate but under-prepared director to the sleep-deprived FX wiz kid who’s shipping off to college as soon as the film wraps. But as our heroine navigates the flakes and freaks, creatives and naysayers in her path, she slowly rediscovers some part of herself long thought lost, where someplace between the exploding heads, the gallons of blood and the wheelchair theft, she finds a home. Penny Nichols thus becomes a masterful newschool testament to creative drive and ambition—or the completely valid lack thereof—and a reminder that just because we haven’t yet found our thing, that doesn’t mean it isn’t out there. Just think of how good it’ll feel once it arrives. (ADV)
This first novel book by award-winning Vietnamese American poet Ocean Vuong had us weeping and lusting in public and praying in private to the mystery and magic of being alive. Presented as a letter written by a Vietnamese son to his mother who cannot read, the narrative begins as an emotional excavation of the tangled personal and political histories that led to the family’s immigration to the US and protagonist Little Dog’s experience growing up in a gritty East Coast city with an illiterate mother, absent father, and schizophrenic grandmother. As the story unfolds, it simultaneously reveals itself as a love letter to a boy who will never get the chance to read it— in a breathtaking and erotic account of first love through queer eyes. And ultimately, because the letter will never reach its intended recipients, the narrative discovers itself as a love letter that Little Dog is writing to himself in a powerful testament to the art of writing as an act of healing and becoming. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous renders the political deeply personal through a narrative that ultimately speaks to truths experienced by a generation of young Americans who struggle to define themselves against oppressive gender norms, institutionalized racism, socioeconomic inequality, violence and addiction. Propelled by both heartache and hope, it is a rare accomplishment that breathes with the living pulse of the here and now. (LC)
By Peter Heller Western writers in modern times are still hanging on to the tropes that other Westerners seem to cling to. We just can’t seem to get enough of rafting and climbing and wild animals and wildfires. So Peter Heller’s fourth novel with an adventurous twist fits right in. Much like in The Painter, Heller writes ample flyfishing and riffling rapids into this one, but also a heavy dose of fear and danger from at least two unpredictable adversaries—the fire and the other men on the river. The story joins two friends on a chilly and isolated canoe trip that quickly heats up. Heller’s nature-heavy hand keeps the reader with them in the woods, under the colors of the sky and the above the dipping paddles. The window into survival and backcountry firstaid is riveting, as is the undercurrent that brings college pals Jack and Wynn to this point. It’s the kind of book you can sail through in a weekend. While Heller did lead his last effort, Celine, with a female character, he’s clearly more adept at looking through the eyes of men. The pair has planned an epic trip and is well-prepared, though some of what prepared Jack and shaped his worldview is downright devastating. The story undeniably echoes Deliverance, sans dueling banjos and plus a mysterious woman. For Heller’s men, he writes, “maybe there was a heavy place like a stone inside each of them,” and it’s that tension, and their estimation of each other, that makes them feel real and won’t let us look away. (Julie Ann Grimm)
The Past is Never By Tiffany Quay Tyson It’s still mindblowing that private DNA databases can help people find long-lost relatives and trace their ancestry by hundreds of years or a single generation. But a mere quarter-century ago, grainy photographs and family folklore were some of the only ways to get information about those who came before you. How much do those bloodlines and geographies define us? How much more do our ideas of ourselves and our families form our identities?
Denverite Tiffany Quay Tyson’s The Past is Never doesn’t tiptoe across these topics, she runs straight through them with mud-caked boots from the swamps of the Everglades. It’s easy to let her vision of the sweltering South into the edges of imagination in this novel that harkens to Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner (the title, in fact, is a partial quote from the latter) with a few hints of poverty a la Jeannette Walls. Not too syrupy, but more substantial in its imagery than just the sweet tea its characters prefer to drink, Quay Tyson’s prose is easy to read even if some of the plot twists are painful.
The tale centers around two sibling pairs— both brother and sister—in two different times, but the very same rural Mississippi Delta town and its menacing quarry, nearly a character itself. Part detective drama, part ghost story, it’s a fast read that we still want to linger over. And with today’s awful American social regression toward bigotry and racism, the explorations of whiteness and blackness and the always in-between are on point. Quay Tyson’s grasp of the territory where she grew up is so firm that the book earned the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Award for Fiction this year. Grab it. (JAG)

n 2012, New York Times writer Thomas Friedman visited and wrote about a small Minnesota-based manufacturing company whose forays into the aerospace and military spheres had shifted its work into a higher-tech realm of welding. Noting this shift, Friedman wrote: “Who knew? Welding is now a STEM job …” Author Sarah Boisvert employs this anecdote in her 2018 book The New Collar Workforce to illustrate the transformation of manufacturing jobs into ones that utilize science and technology, as well as the training gaps that must be filled in order to meet the needs of the changing workforce. These needs also drive Boisvert’s work as founder of Fab Lab Hub, which is part of the MIT-based Fab Lab Network. Fab Lab Hub operates labs in Santa Fe at Santa Fe Community College and the Santa Fe Business Incubator. Like the other fab labs around the country, Santa Fe’s all have 3D printers, laser cutters, computer
numerical control (CNC) machines and vinyl cutters, all of which are tied together with computer-aided design, aka CAD. This fall, she will teach 3D printing courses through SFCC’s Continuing Education program, both of which will allow students to earn “digital badges,” one tool, Boisvert says, in helping train people to enter a swiftly changing workforce. That training requires learning digital skills, but more importantly, the critical thinking to adapt to new technologies as they emerge. Boisvert heard about those needs firsthand when she interviewed 200 manufacturers across the country for her book in order to understand what skills employers needed. She says 95% of the people she spoke with said the top skill needed was problem-solving capacity, followed by hands-on experience, CAD and, finally, 3D printing abilities. “I thought then, well, that’s what we do in fab labs,” Boisvert says. While initially she envisioned developing a two-year curriculum, the workforce needs were so pressing, she instead developed the project-based digital badge program: short and affordable skill-specific trainings, which upon completion, provide people employable skills, and perhaps spur them to continue acquiring more skills. “What has happened in education is we have put less emphasis on vocational

Fab Lab Hub founder Sarah Boisvert will teach two digital badge courses related to 3D printing this Fall through the Santa Fe Community College’s Continuing Education Program.
“We have devalued a part of our population,” she says, “and it’s wrong.” The new-collar jobs of the future, she notes, such as CNC machinists and welders, pay well and offer good benefits. “If we can find opportunities—for people, for our communities—that don’t mean they go to college and end up in debt but end up with engaging, fun, inspiring jobs that pay well where they can support their families, then we can bring back the middle class. And I think if we can do that, we’ll have more harmony.” DIGITAL BADGE COURSES BY SARAH BOISVERT: Design for 3D Printing Digital Badge, Sept. 3-Oct. 8 and Operation of FDM 3D Printing Technology Oct. 29-Dec. 3.

training and we’ve pushed people towards college because all the studies say with a four-year degree you can earn so much more money and have a better life and a better career,” Boisvert says. Subsequently, “people stopped going into the trades” while at the same time workers in those fields began to retire without anyone to replace them. The digital transformation of manufacturing further deepened the gap. In its 2018 Future of Jobs report, the World Economic Forum estimates 75 million jobs will be “displaced” by increased use of machines, but 133 million “new roles may emerge that are more adapted to the new division of [labor] between humans, machines and algorithms.” Boisvert illustrates these shifts by recounting a story told during a panel she moderated for the National Governors Association. A Washington state government employee, she says, talked about robots that were being used to clean a Walmart in Seattle. Those robots, Boivert points out, “don’t take care of themselves … in today’s world, we need people to interact with the robots; people have to design them, program them and fix them when they’re sick.” Santa Fe also will host the national New Collar Network’s New Collar Workforce Summit on Nov. 4-6, which will drill down into the digital transformation of blue collar jobs. Boisvert’s decades of experience in this realm began as co-founder of Potomac Photonics, a laser manufacturing company she sold in 1999 and for which she continues to consult. But her passion is rooted even farther back to childhood. Growing up in a New England textile town, she says, rooted her understanding of the importance of the middle class, and informs her view of how the loss of trades also has hurt the country as a whole by creating widening schisms between the college educated and those who pursue trades. Those schisms have made it harder for people to support their families, as well as led to increasing disenfranchisement.

PLANTED Young in age but rich in spirit, We Are the SEEDS has annually become one of the most hotly anticipated arts markets in town. Now entering its third iteration, SEEDS also goes down each year in Philadelphia, and the Santa Fe version has become so well-attended with artists, collectors and onlookers that it shows no sign of slowing. In fact, it’s only grown in scope each year. In addition to the artistic and cultural offerings spanning countless artists, tribes, booths, meals, parties, etc., SEEDS is also known for great live music and dance from Native tastemakers, a blending of traditional and contemporary styles and, as you may have heard us say once or twice before, partying. Co-founder Tailinh Agoyo once told us the community-building of SEEDS gives her chills. We get that.

Intersectional Resistance Red Nation caucus hosts panel, march during Indian Market Wherever you might be in America as you read this, you’re on stolen land. Full stop. The people indigenous to this country are straight up survivors of colonial and governmental violence stretching back hundreds of years, and in Santa Fe, once known as O gah Po’geh to its original Tewa inhabitants, things are no different. This is just one reason volunteer group The Red Nation (therednation.org) is so vital for Native and non-Native people— it’s doing big things, most immediately recognizable among them, demanding the abolition of the annual Entrada pageant in Santa Fe, which whitewashed the reconquest of New Mexico by the Spanish following the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. This week, The Red Nation’s Pueblx Feminist Caucus keeps the ball rolling with a panel discussion on Pueblo resistance led by Pueblo women at the Jean Cocteau Cinema, and a march dedicated to Pueblo liberation during market. The caucus also plans to release the Pueblo/a/x Manifesto for the first time, a series of points based in intersectional feminism for all people. “The caucus exists to address the specific forms of hetero-patriarchal violence that pueblo people face,” Justine Teba (Tesuque Pueblo) tells SFR. “We’ve faced the Spanish empire, the Mexican government and the American government, and
those three things created a specific form of oppression.” “Our purpose is to create a movement that addresses patriarchal and religious violence manifested in Pueblo communities,” adds Jennifer Marley (San Ildefonso Pueblo), who may be familiar to some as the woman arrested during the Entrada protest of 2017. “It’s about a reclamation of our matriarchal societies wherein women and two-spirit folks are not subject to violence in their communities—but more than that, it’s about remembering forms of pueblo resistance.” The panel also includes Beata TsosiePeña (Santa Clara Pueblo), Nicole Martin (Laguna Pueblo) and Lorelai Chavez (Kewa). “Imagining what it would look like if we were no longer occupied?” Marley says. “I whole-heartedly believe that’s possible.” (Alex De Vore) THREE CENTURIES OF PUEBLO RESISTANCE PANEL DISCUSSION 6-8 pm Wednesday August 14.

Albuquerque MC Def-i is your new favorite artist
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

ulti-faceted rapper, writer, youth advocate, educator and renowned lyricist, Christopher Mike-Bidtah, aka Def-i, has taken his music as far as Eminem’s XM Radio program, NPR, the BBC and beyond. He helped raise over $1 million for the legal funds of Standing Rock Water Protectors, and is a dedicated environmental activist himself; he’s traveled to Nigeria as an Artist Educator and Hip-Hop Ambassador as part of the Department of State’s Next Level initiative, a program meant to foster “cross-cultural creative exchange in diverse communities,” according to its website.
Def-i wants to tour Europe and go back to school to complete his psychology degree.

In other words, Def-i has already done a lot, and he’s only just getting started. He appears in Santa Fe this weekend after his performance at Meow Wolf’s Taos Vortex Festival. On how he got into hip-hop, Def-i says that “It might have been a Run DMC song, or Chill Rob G, but the drums and the rap kind of stuck. My neighbors were rapping, too, and that left an imprint. This was probably kindergarten, first grade, and it wasn’t until sixth grade that I started to listen to all kinds of rap. My dad was in my life for most of my life, as well as my grandfather on my maternal side, but I didn’t have my dad around all the time, so I was listening to these rap legends, and they’re pretty heavy lyrics for a youth to listen to, but it stuck with me. Then I started to get influenced by B-Boy and B-Girl culture, and my friend, who became this world-renowned dancer Poppin John, asked me ‘Do you want to be part of a rap battle?’ I remember being in middle school and rapping against somebody who was older and very well-known—I’m not saying I lost or won, but I’m saying I could hang. I was influenced from then on.” On what he writes and rhymes about today, Def-i tells SFR that “My latest album Dream Trails is a reflection of the past three-to-four years of my journey and a lot of stories about experiences I’ve been through, not only as an artist, but a human being. It’s my best work thus far. I was able to laser in on just songwriting. The topics are very diverse, and I feel like it has something for everyone in there.” On how he sees his place in New Mexico music, he says “I’ve got to give a lot of respect to the vets who laid the foundation for artists out here, but I’ve definitely seen myself evolve over the years. It’s a lot of responsibility as an MC to want to do the best you can, and

I’m not saying I’m the best at anything, but if someone were to listen to my catalog, they could easily hear the growth from two albums ago to now.” On how he sees his place beyond New Mexico, he says he’s “trying to reach Europe, because people there really love the music and appreciate hip-hop. I want to go places where people maybe haven’t seen a rap show. I’m of Diné descent, and I was recently on a tour and partnership with my tribe and the Navajo Treatment Center for Children & Their Families. We were in these very rural areas, and I was coming across a lot of crowds, youths and elders, who had never heard an MC. It’s surprising how, in 2019, you can still be a rap pioneer.” On whether his culture impacts his music, Def-i points out that “it does, but I’ve also never wanted to be compartmentalized as being just one type of MC. Hip-hop’s a universal culture. I want to retain my identity, and there are a lot of similarities between the philosophies of Diné and hip-hop culture, but many other influences are in there.” On his hopes for the future, Def-i explains that “I want to finish getting my degree in psychology, so I can somehow try to intertwine my degree with my art. As a touring artist it became very difficult for me to go to classes and do music, but I want to go back to school eventually. I’m inspired by my younger brother Joshua going to school at UNM full time for film, but music keeps me so busy right now. It’s a full time lifestyle.”

COURTESY MIKAYLA PATTON
Though she hails from South Dakota, mixed media artist and jeweler Mikayla Patton (Lakota) says Santa Fe will serve as her home base, and that she can’t wait to get back after the summer. A graduate of the Institute of American Indian Arts’ studio art program with a focus in printmaking, Patton appears for a special one day pop-up at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Art this Friday August 16 (1 pm-7 pm. 108 Cathedral Place, 9838900. Free.). She’ll show her jewelry and smaller prints, and that’s not even counting exhibits at Chiaroscuro Gallery (558 Canyone Road, 992-0711) and the IM:Edge event during Indian Market. (Alex De Vore) How did you zero in on printmaking? I went through photography in high school, and I was introduced to painting. I was determined that I was going to be a painter. Then I was only in school [at IAIA] for a year, and I couldn’t go back because I couldn’t pay for it, so I took some time off of school trying to pay for school, and during that time I was introduced to an artist back home who was a printmaker. He took me under his wing; mostly monotypes, but he introduced me to the hard work it takes to be an artist—the business side, all of it. It really opened my eyes, so when I got back into school, I was still trying to go toward painting, but ultimately, in my last couple years, printmaking stood out to me more, and I was able to be more … I felt more free in it rather than painting.
elp shape your child s future through clinical research
Do you have goals for your pieces, or are they the organic culmination of experimentation? They’re very organic, and that’s what I love about them—that I never know what they’re going to be. It’s a little bit of a mystery. I try to make sure I don’t go too far. I always step back and look at it, and if it looks like there’s a lot going on, I’ll usually stop, and that can be right away. In painting, you can continually cover and cover, but printmaking you can only go so far, usually one or two or three runs is enough, and I can move on. Can you talk about some of the symbols and motifs you use in your work? These past few months, I got obsessed with using the shape of elk teeth. Traditionally, in a lot of plains or northern tribes, the women adorned dresses with elk teeth. It was an interesting design, but the meaning behind it has a lot to do with wealth. Obviously, you have a really strong family because you’re able to completely adorn your dress with elk teeth; do you know how many animals you’d have to kill to get that many teeth? It was really interesting thinking about all of that wealth, but I was thinking of it like personal wealth, like me being wealthy within myself—it’s not having money, it’s being OK, if that makes sense. It’s something I kind of got obsessed with, and I repeated that pattern over and over. It also translates to women in general: We relied on men to provide for us, but a lot of that doesn’t happen anymore. We’re providing for ourselves, there’s strength within that.

t was a literal vision,” artist Ian Kuai’i (Kanaka Maoli/Native Hawaiian and Mescalero Apache) tells SFR. “A flash in my head.” That flash was an event dedicated to Indigenous tattoo tradition. Ancestral Ink was conceived. The upcoming symposium at the Santa Fe Art Institute space on the Midtown Campus is a day-long ode to Indigenous tattoo culture spanning the globe—from its ancient beginnings up to today—and the many artists working with a traditional reverence and practicum. On Sunday August 18, during Indian Market, tattooers from various tribal affiliations and countries, as well as numerous writers, activists and educators, come together to talk all things tattoo and demonstrate the work and artistry. With an assist from SFAI, the event is free. “I feel like they’ve been completely overlooked,” Kuali’i notes of Indigenous tattoo traditions, “but there’s this huge revival happening, and not just in the American [Indigenous] tradition, but across the planet, throughout the South Pacific and even within Europe, Canada. A beacon needs to be shined on that.” But Kuali’i, who recently showed solo at Hecho a Mano gallery, knew he couldn’t do it alone. Enter artist and Broken Boxes Podcast founder/host Ginger Dunnill, a well-known creator in her own right and a celebrated connector of people and artists. “I have known Ian since we were kids, but I found him again through my podcast; a contemporary Hawaiian artist to interview!” Dunnill says. “We started to

become friends, and he introduced me to his mom, who is a badass, and she started calling me for ideas and resources; my art is being the bridge-builder.” Kuali’i’s mother, Carolyn Melenani Kuali’i (Kanaka Maoli/Native Hawaiian and Mescalero Apache), is the president and executive director of Kua’aina Associates Inc., a nonprofit based in Berkeley, California, that is focused on maintaining and celebrating Indigenous tradition through arts, culture and Earth politics. “What’s happening is that we’re seeing a renewal and revival of traditional tattoo, especially among a younger generation,” Carolyn says, “but with the young Indigenous people, there are many who want to understand their traditional protocols, and what tattooing is from their culture, so it was important for us to have this symposium to be able to bring stories and clarity and understanding to those who want to move forward.” With an idea firmly in place, the Kuali’is and Dunnill set about bringing the tattooers and panelists to Santa Fe. Logistically and practically, however, that was easier said than done. Tattoo is a living, breathing organism, and of the many cultural areas faced with both loss of knowledge and appropriation, the art form is a minefield. In order to properly present the widest swath of information possible while properly celebrating and displaying various Indegenous stories and methods, Ancestral Ink’s guests run a wide gamut.
kakiñit, or traditional Inuit tattoo, who, in 2009, while receiving her first tavalgun, or chin tattoo, discovered there were no longer traditional kakiñit tattooers. She’s since made it her life’s mission to revive the art. Canadian tattooer Dion Kaszas (Thompson Indian) rounds out the artist lineup. With a mission to help revive ancestral practices such as hand poke and skin stitching, Kaszas is co-founder of the Earthline Tattoo Collective, a group dedicated to keeping tradition alive and the folks behind the Earthline Tattoo School and the Earthline Training Residency. Ancestral Ink promises to be accessibly academic as well, with panel appearances from retired professor Loren Me’Lash-Ne Bommelyn (Tolowa) and his wife Lena Bommelyn, a member of and Medicine Woman for the Karuk Tribe; writer, activist and self-described “decolonizationist” L Frank Manriquez (TongvaAcjachemen); herbalist Sage Lapena (Nomtipom Wintu); and painter/sculptor Tiffany Adams (Chemehuevi and Nisenan). Each brings a vital perspective to both the artistry and cultural impact of Indigenous tattoo, and each will shed light on the cultural relevance of the art. “We understand we’ll have Natives from all over because Indian Market is happening,” Ian says. “We want to provide a platform for the questions people are afraid to ask, but that need to be asked.” Carolyn agrees. “I’m excited because there are so many of us who are going to be together for that short weekend,” she says, “I think it’s going to be a very, powerful gathering of the minds.” ANCESTRAL INK

Nunes and Carolyn’s relationship goes way back, and at Ancestral Ink, he’ll demonstrate his skills—with traditional techniques and equipment, such as the tapping method, which involves the needles slowly and painstakingly being tapped against the skin by hand as opposed to the electric machine.

and of themselves. The word “formulaic” has a negative connotation, but if I could use it positively here, I will: The formula NMAL has found is one that works, and one I don’t fault the company using again and again. Good scripts plus good actors equals good productions. Nothing wrong with that. In 4,000 Miles, Leo (the baby-faced Mickey Dolan) is a college-age grandson who appears on his Grandma Vera (Suzanne Lederer)’s doorstep in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, after bicycling 4,000 miles from Seattle to (may-
LYNN ROYLANCE
n a few ways, it’s appropriate that New Mexico Actors Lab would present a play like 4,000 Miles. The brilliant script by Amy Herzog, nominated for a 2013 Pulitzer Prize, deals largely with the concept of ritual; why we do what we do, why rote actions become rote, why we keep saying what we keep saying. NMAL has become familiar to audiences for reliable theater that challenges audiences via carefully curated scripts and hand-picked actors—practices almost ritualistic in
be?) win back his girlfriend Bec (Robyn Rikoon). A lot has transpired since he left the Left Coast—most notably that Leo’s best friend Micah, who began the cross-country journey with him, was killed tragically on a roadside in Kansas. Leo continued the bike trek without him, and now has a whole lot of mental anguish to sort through, which he perhaps isn’t ready to face. The script is thick and rich, but doesn’t feel heavy. Despite its intense themes (which delve into Communist sympathies, the obsolescence of the elderly and incest), the story is somehow buoyant, held aloft by a cast deftly assembled by NMAL Co-Artistic Director and this production’s director, Robert Benedetti. Lederer is always a pleasure to watch (recent enjoyable turns with NMAL, include The Glass Menagerie and The Gin Game), and her Vera is defiant, obnoxious and forcefully nurturing— yet ultimately fragile. She is constantly using the words “progressive” and “lefty” to describe herself and her friends, and is a card-carrying member of the Communist Party. She smokes weed with Leo, praises him for carrying condoms, and reacts with surprising acceptance when she finds him making out with a girl on her couch (that girl being Amanda, played by Alyssa Bonanno, last seen as Juliet in Shakespeare in the Garden’s Romeo and Juliet). Yet she still has undeniable pre-Boomer tendencies, like commenting on Bec’s body, being

set firmly in her ways even if they don’t serve her, and reacting with unnerving anger when she senses herself becoming old (“It’s getting harder for me to hold the key because my hand shakes, which is disgusting,” she spits). She wants so badly to be viewed as “progressive,” but needs to accept that her particular version of progress is simply different and more antiquated than her grandson’s. Speaking of her grandson, I enjoyed Dolan’s performance; he’s a natural actor and seems utterly comfortable onstage, especially notable when he’s playing such a complex and, to be honest, uncomfortable character. (Leo is a problematic person written in an enlightened way, and he’s generally likable, yet it doesn’t keep him from making your skin crawl here and there.) I had a hard time getting past just how young he looked; I’m unsure of Dolan’s exact age, but he won the 17-and-under category for the New Mexico Actor’s Showcase in 2017, so math says he’s 19 at the absolute oldest. That tracks just fine with the character and Leo’s weird limbo between almost-mature but still essentially childish. Where it hit a snag, though, was in his relationship and chemistry with Rikoon. The actress, who by no means looks inappropriately old for her character, simply has a grace and poise that lends itself to an older human. Indeed, Bec says she’s about five years older than the folks in her college classes, which would put her at about 23 years old; and if Bec is a graceful 23-year-old, you really gotta wonder what kept her and Leo together. But then, that’s some of the point. Bec is breaking up with him for a reason, some of which being immaturity and a lack of connection. While the audience can easily see that lack of connection, it wasn’t quite possible to see the remnants of what brought them together in the first place. The two delivered enjoyable performances on their own, but their chemistry together was lacking. Speaking of skin-crawly, there were a few moments between them that just seemed too off-base to make sense. Generally, however, the actors capably delivered one of the better scripts presented on Santa Fe’s stages this year, and I urge NMAL to keep up the ritual of casting great stories well. 4,000 MILES
New Mexico Actors Lab has a habit of presenting exceptionally written plays with well-chosen casts, and 4,000 Miles is no exception, though chemistry hiccups here and there.

Boultawn’s Bakery, Café and Gallery serves up Santa Fe’s best bagel, and a whole lot more
OK, technically it’s a garlic bialy, but still—Boultawn’s knows what to do.
BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

fter nearly 20 years in the bagel biz, including owning a chain of 16 bagel bakeries in the Bay area, Tawn Dix returned to Santa Fe a couple of years back, “absolutely done with bagels.” The Pojoaque native and former hardcore speed metal band frontman was looking forward to opening a bagel-less café in Santa Fe, along with his cousin and silent partner Pete Boulton–the “Boul” in Boultawn’s, and found the perfect turnkey spot downtown. “I said I was going to open this place in one month and everyone laughed at me—especially the health department,” says Dix. “In the Bay Area, I ran all my businesses, was a full-time dad and a musician. But this time around, without a whole chain to manage, and my kids staying in the Bay area, I had a lot more time on my hands than I was used to.”
So, Boultawn’s Bakery, Café and Gallery (105 E Marcy St., 983-9006) was indeed launched in a month. But the day before its grand opening, Dix realized he had more work to do. “Santa Fe bagels were the worst things I’ve ever put in my mouth,” he says with a laugh, “so, I said, ‘I guess I am making bagels again.’” And praise the food lords for that, because life has a hole in it without a good bagel. For those who have had the luxury of enjoying the crusty, chewy richness of a real East Coast bagel, you know what I’m saying. Though Dix had perfected his bagel game under the tutelage of two bagel masters in the Bay Area, Santa Fe posed some problems. “Those guys were hard on me. They were never happy with my bagels,” says Dix. “So I worked really hard to perfect my bagels and ended up making the best bagels in the Bay Area. Once I set to work
in Santa Fe, though, I realized I would need to come up with a new recipe dealing with the altitude.” “The first month I was like Bill Nye the Science Guy,” trying to figure things out, he continues. “I threw so many batches away, [but] finally, after trying everything, I almost gave up. And then one day, it just started working. It has to do not just with altitude, but with barometric pressure, so every morning the first thing I do is check the weather.” Two years later, Dix’s bagels are so in-demand that he’s planning to expand into commercial production, supplying bagels to coffee shops locally, as well as in Taos and Albuquerque. He also plans to package Boultawn’s Bagels for sale in places such as La Montañita Co-op. Dix is unconcerned that making his bagels available all over might affect his business at the bakery. “We’ll still have the best selection— we currently have nine styles and are
FOOD
planning to expand that number to 12, 15,” Dix tells SFR. “I’m always willing to try anything, and am open to ideas for new flavors. Some of the favorites here are red chile salt and green chile cheddar, but I also like doing seasonal bagels, like biscochito during the holidays.” Dix also envisions more varieties of Boultawn’s cream cheese choices, which currently include spicy yellow curry, veggie with ranch dressing powder as the secret ingredient, triple berry and sun-dried tomato. Beyond bagels, Dix serves up a full menu of scratch-made specialties, ranging from soups and sandwiches to pastries and ice cream. Boultawn’s boasts daily specials and really does have something for everyone, including early risers—Dix opens at 7am, almost unheard-of in sleepy Santa Fe; a creamy cup of potato bacon or red pepper gouda soup with a bagel and cream cheese ($6.95), breakfast burritos slathered in spicy chile ($8.25), personal-size quiche ($5.75) are available, and then … the ice cream. Dix makes the flavors ($3.25) based on what’s in season and what sounds good, so it’s a great place for unexpected types. During one recent visit there was a zen dose of ginger, turmeric and honey, sweetand-spicy mango red chile, pungent banana rum walnut and a sweet tooth satisfying raspberry chocolate chunk. Visitors to Boultawn’s may also notice the paintings scattered around the space. Also created by Dix, one wonders if he never needs sleep, so I ask how he does it all. “This is all I have to do,” he replies. “Without 16 cafes, my kids full-time, and being a musician, things have changed for me. I have plenty of time now to just do this.” Because all the “this” could be more, Dix says he is pondering applying for a beer and wine license and acquiring a karaoke machine.

Mike Wallace is Here Review
BEST MOVIE EVER

All the news that’s fit to film

“Why is Mike Wallace such a prick?” Morley Safer asks his fellow veteran newsman in Mike Wallace is Here from director Avi Belkin (Winding). It’s unclear when the conversation takes place, but both Safer and Wallace, seemingly amused by the implications, feel like old friends. Wallace waves it off a moment, admits it, and is ready to move on. But he also seems wildly uncomfortable answering questions; the bulldog of interviews in the hot seat for once. It’s a fair query—Wallace, who died in 2012 at 93, was indeed known for aggressive interviews, but as we learn in Belkin’s film, his fearlessness and dedication helped shape the face of broadcast journalism as we know it, and led to some of the most famous interviews in the medium’s history. Wallace began in radio, phasing over to television in the 1950s as a performer, commercial spokesman and, eventually, host of the hard-hitting 1957 interview program Night Beat. There, he cut his teeth during interviews with politicians, gangsters and the famous. There, he developed his now-infamous unflinching style. It was a first in a world of Cronkites and Mur-

rows who, while well-liked, didn’t often speak truth to the powerful, and though the show was short-lived, it changed everything. By 1968, with public confidence in broadcast news waning, the Wallace-led 60 Minutes tore the roof off, inventing the televised news magazine format, which started slowly but ultimately became the most-watched news program of all time; a sea of impersonators, from 20/20 to Nightline followed. Belkin examines as much as he can in a mere 90 minutes, but fails in fleshing out Wallace’s back story in any meaningful way. We learn briefly of failed marriages and the death of his son, but other than a few video and audio clips of the man vaguely talking news, we see Wallace’s impact on journalism through old interview footage far more than we dive into his motivations. The exchange with Safer is but one of numerous examples of his own discomfort being interviewed, and while this makes him seem all the more human, it’s fleeting, as are behind-the-scenes moments of a disarmed or enraged or exhausted Wallace.
Elsewhere, snippets of interviews with the legendary and infamous likes of Bette Davis, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Eleanor Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and far too many others to count remind us of his chops, but without any identifying text associated with lesser-known figures around during Wallace’s tenure, those of a certain age might feel lost before the credits identify a number of those people. Belkin, in fact, seems more enamored with a certain era of journalism than he does with the people featured in his film, and while it makes sense to compose a love letter to a hero, or to feel like one was born in the wrong era—especially a documentarian— Mike Wallace himself probably would have liked it more had Belkin opted to experiment a little, or at least drag out some of the old guard to get at the meatier and more personal stories.

really act from time to time. Elsewhere, tense fight scenes are challenging and ugly, but lopsidedly exhilarating when they’re presented against the backdrop of long walks. You’ll also find needlessness and no small amount of self-indulgence, from Elisabeth Moss’ two or three barely-there and emotionally manipulative scenes to the many, many times we observe Dad slowly preparing for the worst or proving to Rags he’s a cool, progressive father who will happily answer her annoying youthful questions even as the omnipresent danger lurks nearby. Later, however, we start to wonder if there’s some kind of religious motive as late-film characters philosophize on God’s plan. These scenes are, thankfully, short-lived before it’s back to the hopelessness, but, sadly, no amount of pretty wintertime panoramic establishing shots can curb the tedium. In the end, there is no particular message or moral, but perhaps Affleck is trying to tell us something about doing our best. He surely did in making in the movie, and while it sure looks nice in quieter moments, it’s not so easy to care. (ADV)

- LONG-WINDED; TIRED MATERIAL
Casey Affleck dons his director’s and writer’s caps with Light of My Life, a new film that borrows heavily from The Road … and Maggie … and Children of Men … and even 2013 video game The Last of Us. Affleck is known only as Dad, a man trying to survive during the aftermath of a virus that killed almost all the women on earth except for his daughter, whom he affectionately calls Rags (Anna Pniowsky of Pen15), and who is one of the last females on Earth. Together, they’re headed … someplace for survival reasons, but there are bad guys everywhere who want to kidnap Rags for … other reasons, and there’s only so long she can be passed off as a young boy; there’s a lot of camping and prepping and running away from nameless evil during the pilgrimage to … some place. Setting aside the tired premise of Light of My Life, there are moments of legitimate artistry and excitement. Affleck and Pniowsky do have an unmistakable chemistry, particularly during an early-film storytelling scene that near-perfectly encapsulates the parent/child dynamic and proves Affleck can

+ IMMERSIVE SETS AND SEQUENCES - QUENTIN’S EGO INFLATING THROUGH THE SCREEN
You’ve seen the exhaustive ads, right? “Quentin Tarantino’s Ninth Film is finally here!” Period flick Once Upon A Time … in Hollywood barges into the cinemas with loads of panache and style on the surface, but little more underneath. As the swinging ’60s in Hollywood come to a close, actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his sidekick, stuntman Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), contemplate their futures in an ever changing industry—and the business of Rick’s new neighbors, Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate. The film’s brilliance, if it has any, lies with its two leads. Every one of DiCaprio’s scenes are commanding; he chews scenery, upstages elders and literally incinerates people. Pitt is surely in top form as well, moving cooly and confidently from problem to problem. Al Pacino also stands out as an influencer for Rick’s decision to jump on the Spaghetti Western train, but Mike Moh (Street Fighter: Resurrection) as Bruce Lee finds Lee’s accomplishments diminished in service of Tarantino’s creative license. Unfortunately, Margot Robbie’s (Suicide Squad) Sharon Tate suffers from weaker writing than the dude characters, and almost every one of her scenes has her dancing, giving toothy grins, or—ahem—flexing her feet. And nothing else. It’s awkward watching a murdered actress be sexualized, and with the exception of Julia Butters (of TV’s American Housewife) as a fiery young starlet, almost every other woman comes off as an annoyance or an accessory. Tarantino’s themes are consistent, regardless of how you feel about his material. What makes Hollywood’s last act so disappointing, though, is how Rick and Cliff finish their journeys. The explosive climax feels like the result of an “Oh boy am I great!” moment Tarantino had while writing rather than a meaningful conclusion. When Tate or, to a lesser extent, the Manson family are onscreen, they feel like a distraction from the narrative, making the almost three-hour runtime feel tedious; it’s more fun to cruise around the extinct 1960s environment with Cliff, or watch hungover Rick handle another villainous roll on a TV pilot. As usual, Tarantino’s actors give 110%, and that effort can be seen and heard in every single frame. The cinematography is calm and engaging while the hip costumes and production design are loud and meticulous. Even musical selections draw smiles from jams that are as unique as Rick Dalton himself. A great element of Tarantino’s style is how he celebrates the importance of food and drink; it’s fascinating to see distinctions set in Rick and Cliff’s potent potables and snacks once in their own homes.

And then, Tarantino is one of the few directors left whose film debuts are still cinematic events. You’ve seen at least one of his nine movies, and can probably list off scenes from another five. But as far as the ’60’s are concerned, truth is still stranger than his fiction. (Matthew K Gutierrez)

+ INTRIGUING; INFORMATIVE - PARTS DON’T WORK WELL
INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER
In July of 2014, Massachusetts teen Conrad Roy III was found dead by suicide in his truck outside a K-Mart parking lot. This might not sound terribly familiar at first—until we get into the investigation, whereupon detectives uncovered thousands of texts between Roy and his girlfriend Michelle Carter, 17 at the time, who pressured Roy into going through with the act despite his insistence of terror. “Get back in,” Carter texted him after he texted that he’d left his vehicle. He never emerged. What followed was a media storm and a complicated mess of ethics, technology and the secret lives of modern teens. Carter made insidious “Worst People” lists across the internet, parents feared for their own children, and most of America made up their minds with very little information. But it may not be as simple as we’ve been led to believe. In I Love You, Now Die, out now via HBO, filmmaker Erin Lee Carr (Mommy Dead and Dearest) explores the dynamics of the case across two 90-ish-minute episodes. The first focuses on Carter’s actions: How she met Roy, how they quickly developed a deeply intimate relationship
via text messaging despite only having met in real life a handful of times, how quickly and horrifyingly they began to feed into each other’s psychoses—and how eerily common that is among today’s youths. We learn the Commonwealth of Massachusetts set out to prove Carter orchestrated Roy’s death as a means to garner attention. It’s compelling evidence and makes sense, particularly through onscreen images of the actual texts between the two, interviews with Roy’s family, cops, journalists who covered the case and courtroom footage. By the end of part one, we’re convinced a manipulative young woman pushed a troubled young man to an early grave to net sympathy friends. Then part two kicks in, and Carr gives us the other side of the story, leading us to question our own conditioned knee-jerk misogyny and the idea that young women are somehow always accessing the depths of cruelty for their own nefarious gains. Roy’s vacillating between love and cruelty via text and his search for someone with the right amount of desperation to support him in his desire to die become startlingly apparent. Carter was, of course, ill-equipped to handle such emotional abuse, and the more pieces that come together, the more we find a young woman clearly in need of help she wasn’t getting and a self-aware young man who found the perfect foil to a plan he’d made long ago. It’s a tough watch to be sure, but I Love You,

Sung to the tune of that old Spider-Man song: Spider-Man Far From Home, don’t act like you didn’t see it/It was fine but not as cool, as the one with Michael Keaton—hey, hey; here comes that Spider-Man. Now Die keeps us guessing and constantly questioning our allegiances. It becomes hard to know which side to take, though the sad truth is that there really isn’t one. There are no winners and no satisfying answers. And the moral, if there is one, is bleak: It’s harder to be a teen now than ever before. Particularly of note are the interviews with journalist Jesse Barron, who covered the case at the time for Esquire. Still, there’s a certain sensationalism at play that undermines the film’s insistence that the media can twist a story’s facts. When the realties of the situation sink in again after the tone shifts, we’re still left with a dead teen and a very sick young woman who felt so miserably alone, she didn’t know how to speak up when it mattered most.

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME

+ ILLUSION SCENES; PRETTY - NOWHERE NEAR AS FUN AS THE LAST ONE
Whereas 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming finally captured the light-hearted aspects of the popular webslinger, Spidey’s newest foray into theaters feels flat, directionless and more like an expected next step rather than a meaningful conclusion to the first big phase of the Marvel cinematic universe. We pick up directly after the events of Avengers: Endgame, and things are finally getting back to normal for Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and his buds. Yes, they explain away the five-year time jump from Endgame as the so-called “blip,” and jokes about how some people aged while others didn’t abound. Meanwhile, Peter and his classmates are off to Europe for a poorly explained “science trip.” Once there, he plans to profess his feelings to MJ (Zendaya, who is just killing in on HBO’s Euphoria right now) atop the Eiffel Tower. Ooh, la la. But whoops–Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders from How I Met Your Mother, in case you just thought “Who the hell is that?”) need Spider-Man to stop a cadre of trans-dimensional elemental beasts who just so happen to also be in Europe, and this one dude Quentin Beck/Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) is there to help out—or is he? And are they? And will he? They? Her? Monsters? Jeeze. Cue explosions and telegraphed plot points far too obvious to even the most casual fan of comics, and within minutes, all the goodwill drummed up by the first film’s better story and the fantastic Michael Keaton is squandered on exhausting comic relief from Freaks & Geeks alum Martin Starr and Curb Your Enthusiasm’s JB Smoove (usually a comic genius, here not as much). On the surface, we’re force-fed that tired old superhero axiom about how the friends and family of these heroes
are always in danger, though why this means Marisa Tomei (a national treasure, and here Peter’s aunt) had to be underused or why we had to sit through Jon Favreau’s “humor” is anyone’s guess. Holland is a fine choice for Spider-Man, all small and dorky, though maybe a little handsome to play nerd. Either way, he’s surely superior to whatever 37-year-old men were playing a teen in earlier films. Still, he doesn’t have much to work with as the script seems aimed solely at 13-yearolds who probably won’t be thrilled about Far From Home’s reductive insistence that they’re a bunch of phone-obsessed assholes who submit readily to co-dependence on their best days and treat each other like shit on their worst. Gyllenhaal does his best, though despite his performance from Nightcrawler a few years back proving he can play terrifying, never comes across as menacing so much as silly and whiny. The thrill is gone, the magic faded and no matter how many times we see Holland’s eyes tear up because, like, he loves so hard and has so much at stake and oh, God, does he miss Tony Stark, it’s simply not possible to summon the feelings needed to enjoy this film.

REBEL and RONDA were transferred to us from the Roswell animal shelter as young kittens. They spent their early days in a loving foster home and are now ready for adoption. REBEL is a sweet, gentle little girl that enjoys playing with dangle toys and RONDA REBEL wrestling with her sister RONDA. She also likes to be cuddled. RONDA is a funny, outgoing girl. One of her signature moves is raising her right arm to swat at something new, but she rarely actually does it, instead she fakes the jab like a boxer. Her antics will keep you entertained for hours.

ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny
Week of August 14th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): How did sound technicians create the signature roar of the fictional monster Godzilla? They slathered pine-tar resin on a leather glove and stroked it against the strings of a double bass. How about the famous howl of the fictional character Tarzan? Sonic artists blended a hyena’s screech played backwards, a dog’s growl, a soprano singer’s fluttered intonation slowed down, and an actor’s yell. Karen O, lead singer of the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, periodically unleashes very long screams that may make the hair stand up on the back of her listeners’ necks. In accordance with astrological omens, I’d love to see you experiment with creating your own personal Yowl or Laugh or Whisper of Power in the coming weeks: a unique sound that would boost your wild confidence and help give you full access to your primal lust for life.
verse from the Bible: “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libra-born Ronald McNair was an African American who grew up in a racist town in South Carolina in the 1950s. The bigotry cramped his freedom, but he rebelled. When he was nine years old, he refused to leave a segregated library, which prompted authorities to summon the police. Years later, McNair earned a PhD in Physics from MIT and became renowned for his research on laser physics. Eventually, NASA chose him to be an astronaut from a pool of 10,000 candidates. That library in South Carolina? It’s now named after him. I suspect that you, too, will soon receive some vindication, Libra: a reward or blessing or consecration that will reconfigure your past.

Smoki
Ermis
SMOKI IS A PETITE ONE-YEAR-OLD DOMESTIC SHORTHAIR CAT. She was brought to our shelter from an owner who could no longer care for her. Smoki weighs about 6 pounds, which we think is healthy for her stature: but we wouldn’t mind her gaining a couple more pounds! If you’d like to see Smoki, visit her at Petsmart on Zafarano Drive! Smoki’s adoption fee is $70 and she is already spayed, has a microchip and age-appropriate vaccinations.
ERMIS IS A 75 POUND mixed breed dog that recently arrived at the shelter because his owner could no longer care for him. Our vets have put him at about 5 years old so he is done growing. We’re pretty sure there is a lot of German Shepherd in his background, maybe some Husky or just some good old fashioned New Mexico Wonder Dog! Ermis is a good dog, likes to hike, likes people and loves attention. He rides well in the car and really navigates the trails like an expert. Come in and meet Ermis today!
