GET SCHOOLED This is quite possibly the dumbest article I have read in quite a while. I spoke to a number of people who went to this festival and they had a great time. The tepee complaint is a bit of a stretch to say the least and your headline is clearly a clickbait ploy that does not hold up in the least. Also, why are you griping about attendance? Seems you want to just be negative for no reason. Meow Wolf and AMP brought an amazing cultural event to Taos including very cool headliners and could grow
year over year and be awesome for all the people who live near there. Your move is to shit all over it? Why? I mean the whole article is a total joke as far as it being anything close to journalism so I think you may need to go back to school to learn how to write.

outhwestern Association for Indian Arts launches its 97th annual Indian Market this weekend, with new Executive Director Ira Wilson at the helm—and without its now-infamous tenure program. Tenure served as a de facto placeholder for participating artists since its inception in 1992; for some artists, it meant their children could exhibit with them and eventually become grandfathered into the event. For others, it felt like a barrier that highly favored older, long-exhibiting artists. Wilson tells SFR when it comes to the the tenure program that “decisions made in the past prevented new blood from participating with SWAIA.” And now?
“New policies are in place to grow the youth base each year,” he says. The ethics and fallout surrounding the tenure changeup remain messy and unsettled, with claims of ageism against SWAIA, but others say it opened new doors for younger and first-time artists. Tenure or not, Indian Market has always encouraged artists of any age to apply, and every applicant’s work is judged by a blind jury, using a number system to mask the artist’s identity. Acceptance is based on the total number of points earned across four categories: aesthetics, Indian Market standards, creativity and technical execution. The only nationwide event of its scope, the market is accessible to Native artists outside of state

boundaries dictated by settler-colonialism—which seems like an important act of Indigenous reclamation. With so much change in the air and alongside special events like the the Haute Couture Fashion Show on Saturday afternoon, the Indian Market Gala (which features a new “pre-contact menu” that uses ingredient staples dating prior to colonization) on Saturday evening, SWAIA also aims to prioritize collaborations with the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts and the Ralph T Coe Center for the Arts while focusing on fresh young voices in Indigenous art. One vehicle of that focus is SWAIA’s Youth Fellowship program, a staple in its effort to support and foster young artists.
At 12, Giovanni Benally (Diné) is the youngest artist to headline a booth at this year’s market.

The application process is open to artists age 12 and under who are already Indian Market particpants. Three recipients were selected this year. Artists receive $500 for supplies or art lessons for their project, and the award is based on the strength of applicant’s artist statement and the initiative shown when outlining how they’d spend the money. This year’s winners include 11-yearold Raven Naranjo (San Ildefonso Pueblo and Navajo), who says he is inspired by video games and wants to express himself through painting on canvas. His work contains traditional San Ildefonso imagery such as prayer feathers, parrots, crows and rain—elements otherwise referred to as “the fundamentals for life.” In his work, Naranjo is mindful of spirit breaks—the depiction of how a spirit enters and exits a body. Another recipient is Georgeanne Growingthunder (Nakoda, Dakota, Kiowa, Seminole), a 6-year-old budding artist from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the youngest child of George and Tahnee Growingthunder, both former Indian Market artists themselves. Georgeanne has been beading since she was 2 years old. “This year the SWAIA Santa Fe Indian Market will be Georgie’s third year to show as a juried artist,” her mother Tahnee tells SFR via email. “Georgie has attended every year of her life, and even while she was in the womb.” Fellow Niska Kempenich (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa), 10, is from Grand Forks, North Dakota, and is the daughter of studio artist and social justice advocate Hillary Kempenich. At her core, the youngest Kempenich is passionate about dance and visual arts, and has experimented with various mediums before finding an ongoing interest in the traditional art of birch bark biting, an ancient technique that involves biting intricately shaped designs into small folded pieces of birch bark. She is too young pursue it fully, as it requires adult teeth—so, for now, she paints and etches on birch bark instead. Outside of the scholarship program are plenty of other young creators showing at this year’s market, including former fellowship recipient Apaolo Benally (Diné), 8, and his older brother, Giovanni (Diné), from Pojoaque Pueblo. At age 12, Giovanni is the youngest artist headlining a booth at this year’s market, which he shares with Apaolo—who, two years ago, was the youngest-ever artist to receive the Youth Fellowship. Apaolo says the award was so much more than money—it was a confidence-builder and the positive encouragement he needed to

keep practicing his work. Giovanni invited SFR to visit his Pojoaque studio, a small room attached to sculptor George Rivera’s workspace and gallery where his father, Ryan Benally, works. Both boys and their father greet us at the end of a long dirt road. Apaolo walks over first, holds out his hand and introduces himself. After we shake hands, he runs off behind the house and we don’t see him again. Giovanni, meanwhile, is a painter and a hoop dancer, a member of the Lightning Boy Hoop Dancers, a group created in memory of Rivera’s son Valentino Tzigiwhaeno “Lightning Boy” Rivera, who died in 2016. Giovanni takes inspiration from Andy Warhol, pop art and fluorescent colors. In his paintings, he combines these aesthetics with his depictions of traditional heroes from Diné culture. He believes this helps him stand out in group shows. “I focus on my artwork and keep making things over and over again,” he says. SWAIA, as a whole, is further embracing the contemporary movement, particularly in the form of the annual IM:EDGE show in the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. The show adopts the theme Activism & Identity this year, uplifting work that speaks to various sociopolitical issues that directly affect Indigenous communities. Take Durango-based painter Sierra Edd (Diné), who paints both individually and collaboratively with her sisters, Ruthie, Santana and Chamisa, all of whom are slated to show at this year’s IM:EDGE. Edd uses her work as a platform to examine how women’s bodies, specifically Navajo women, have been impacted by colonialism and intergenerational trauma. She hopes by discussing the patriarchal violence that impacts her and others within her com-

munity, she can reach other women who have felt violated. “I hope they connect to my pieces,” she says of viewers in the Native community, “because that’s who I am making the art for. It is important to be knowledgeable about that experience and our psychological trauma.” These young people are the brilliant forefront of their artistic and cultural movement. As Indigenous culture continues to morph and evolve, it is important to move beyond simple aesthetics and talk about today’s issues. SWAIA’s Wilson concurs: “It’s fundamental; art is history, culture, and tradition for Native people—for the continuance of it, it’s especially important that we support fellowships [for] young artists to encourage their growth and to give them an avenue for self-expression; to share their culture, history and knowledge with the world. It’s paramount that we support our young artists.”

Getting Harder to Find Patients and dispensary owners report difficulty finding and supplying cannabis medicines as a result of new CBD policy BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
A
nna* figured it was the high elevation of Santa Fe, and didn’t think much of the numbness in her feet six years ago. But by last October, after she had moved to Las Cruces, heavy pain had replaced the numbness. “It got so severe, I get shooting electric shock pains through my leg,” Anna tells SFR. “I couldn’t get from the bed to the bathroom. That got my attention, and I went to the doctor.” A few months later, Anna, who works in the financial sector and is in her 60s, was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, a painful nerve condition without a cure. Pain management is a victim’s only recourse. Doctors prescribed the anti-seizure drug gabapentin and the opioid painkiller tramadol. She also applied for and received a medical cannabis card in June, hoping that adding cannabis to her regimen could restrict the need for habit-forming opioids. She had begun experimenting with cannabis products that contained different ratios of both THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, and the non-psychoactive cannabinoid CBD, when the state of New Mexico slapped a ban on CBD
and hemp products sourced from out of state at the end of June. In its June 7 letter to cannabis dispensaries, manufacturers, testing labs and couriers, New Mexico Medical Cannabis Program Director Kenny Vigil said the state had learned some businesses were importing the products, a practice he said violated the 2007 Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act. Vigil warned that such sales would be illegal. Patients like Anna suddenly were less able to easily obtain cannabis products with varying ratios of THC and CBD, which patients and some research have reported to be far more effective for treating pain than either compound alone. Some dispensaries have questioned the program’s strict interpretation of the law, which says licensed producers cannot “obtain or transport outside New Mexico” and that cardholders must obtain cannabis “derived solely from an intrastate source.” In response to several questions, state Health Department spokesman Paul Rhien replied to SFR: “This is not a new requirement, nor is it a new interpretation. We have simply been working with Licensed Non-Profit Producers to make sure they are compliant with existing requirements under the law.” Anna says the shift has meant she has to procure CBD/THC products from Colorado. Without that, she would likely have to pop more tramadol pills to manage her pain, she says. Although not as addictive as other drugs like hydrocodone, the US National Library of Medicine says tramadol is associated with severe withdrawal symptoms typical of other opioids. “When I have cannabis in a blend [of THC and CBD], I can take one or two tra-

madol [a day], and three on a bad day,” Anna says. Without the blend, she takes up to four tramadol daily. Dispensary owners, like Sacred Garden’s Zeke Shortes, say that the patients they serve have voiced similar discontent. “We were making 1:1 CBD-to-THC products for very specific conditions”
New Mexico by revenue and no stranger to suing the DOH, have been discussing a joint lawsuit against the Department of Health to undo the CBD ban. “The DOH is making all sorts of rules without due process; promulgating all these rules without due process,” Shortes says. On June 25, the New Mexico Cannabis Chamber of Commerce, a new group that came together that same month, sent a letter to DOH in which it said the ban would require dispensaries “to devote a disproportionate amount of their resources to the creation of CBD products, and thereby reduce the availability or increase the cost of THC products needed by patients.” “We think [the CBD ban] is an overextension of what the state’s responsibilities are,” says Vince Galbiati, the chamber’s executive director. “The dispensary, as far as the consumer is concerned, is the intrastate source.” Jason Barker, an organizer with the patient advocate group Safe Access New Mexico, says the DOH did “a good thing” by instituting the ban on CBD products from out of state. He adds that the DOH should inEN LL crease producers’ annual limit of BO NS VE 400 plants if it wants to do it right. TE S ON ANS “[T]he state needs to increase the plant count for producers [to 900], and such as post-traumatic stress disorder, then set a requirement that ‘x’ amount of Shortes tells SFR. “Now, [these patients] CBD plants must be grown,” Barker writes have to go around and buy CBD at other in an email to SFR. places like Whole Foods, and mix it themAs a consumer and patient, Anna says selves.” the DOH’s rationale is unclear to her. Shortes says his dispensary is sitting “What is it they are concerned about? on about $160,000 worth of products Is it [tax] revenue?” she asks. “It doesn’t mixed with CBD from out of state and is seem to be at a decision made with comslowly having to toss them as they begin passion for patients with highly painful to expire. diseases.” In the meantime, Shortes says he and Editor’s Note: Anna asked that her name four other producers, including Ultra be changed for fear of losing her job because Health, the largest cannabis dispensary in she has a medical cannabis card.

go back to class this week. There are sweaters for cooler mornings and paper bags full of sweating green chiles. It’s still hot and sunny by mid-morning, and adventure awaits. Chaos is coming with this weekend’s Indian Market and tourists galore in the city. Zozobra and Santa Fe Fiesta come close on their heels. Yet for now, perhaps a reader can find a moment of surcease. Heavy on the nonfiction titles, this year’s list includes some ways to step back. The latest from Craig Childs wanders with early humans into Paleo-
lithic America, while former SFR staff writer Clay Bonnyman Evans goes back (but not that far back) into his grandfather’s World War II experience; and Santa Fean Caroline Fraser’s Pulitzer Prize-winning look at the life of early century middle-American author Laura Ingalls Wilder explores the blurry lines of truth and storytelling. Plus, more on nature, the outdoors and the tricks of society. But we don’t leave you there. Catch two fiction recommendations at the end. In the end, it’s all weird.

A Journey into the Savage Heart of Silicon Valley
:
Mountains, Marriage and Motherhood AUTHOR: JAN REDFORD COUNTERPOINT
AUTHOR: COREY PEIN METROPOLITAN BOOKS
Author Toni Morrison once famously advised that if a book you wanted to read hadn’t been written yet, you should write it yourself. Better advice in this case: Wait for journalist Corey Pein to tackle the tech industry from the inside out, shedding a blinding, unforgiving light on the impact it’s had on nearly every aspect of contemporary life, from housing to journalism to democracy to the nature of work itself. And where better to get up close and personal with 21st-century billionaire disrupters than Silicon Valley? “That warm, inviting cradle of cutthroat entrepreneurship,” Pein writes, where “… any indigent fool could transform himself or herself into the contemporary manifestation of a feudal lord.” Pein figured he could head to Silicon Valley, pitch start-up ideas, become a billionaire himself, and write a book about it. The billionaire part didn’t happen—perhaps, Pein opines, because trying to mix a business venture with a journalistic mission was an inherently conflicted position, particularly for a reporter like Pein who was inherently hostile toward the tech industry, having experienced its disregard for the newspaper industry it “disrupted.” Pein combines the best of gonzo journalism—engrossing narrative, colorful characterization, irony for days—with deeply reported and firsthand knowledge of the industry itself. The book jacket doesn’t lie; Pein does scathing and sarcasm like nobody else, so if you enjoy that (as I do), you’re in for some great reading. Consider the passage in which Pein ponders what pointless social media company he
End of the Rope:
could create by tweaking Twitter or Facebook: “Tweakr? Twitter for meth enthusiasts? No … too many liabilities.” And then, “What about Facebook for people without friends? I could call it … Strangebook.” And on he riffs, taking the reader down a rabbit hole where there are startup companies to name your company, to even come up with an idea for your company (itsthisforthat.com—check it out! It suggested I start a company that is “Basically Pandora for Semi-Active Volcanoes”). Pein captures the terrifying absurdity of it all; this reported work makes Dave Eggers’ The Circle read like a children’s book. But Live Work Work Work Die is more than a smackdown of technocapitalism—it’s a fundamentally humanist examination of the damage done in the name of disruption when it happens in the hands of the wealthy elite, fueled by greed and self-absorption. In other words, probably a book everyone should read and consider, given the very weird times in which we are living. (Julia Goldberg)
Disclosure: Pein was a staff writer during this writer’s tenure as editor of SFR. His work also has appeared in SFR’s sister paper, Willamette Week, The Baffler, Slate and numerous other publications.
As any woman knows—any woman who has had a man offer to “take” her climbing or show her how best to ski the steep stuff or even presume she can’t possibly ride that downhill line—while women are nevertheless not on equal footing, the idea that a woman would participate in outdoor sports isn’t considered outrageous. When Jan Redford started rock climbing in the 1980s, though, she navigated a different landscape. She trained for a NOLS course as one of few women in that program and became a climbing instructor for the Banff Cadet Camp when Canada was just looking at certifying its first female mountain guides. In her memoir, End of the Rope: Mountains, Marriage and Motherhood, she describes chewing tobacco, chugging beer and burping in front of men who might otherwise mistake her for ladylike, and dropping f-bombs as often as grammatically allowable to assert herself as the only woman on ski patrol at the resort where she worked. She also climbs hard on rock, ice and snow, and discovers herself at her best in all-female teams, where no man can offer to take the lead. Climbing faces off with the competing interest of her love life— climber girlfriends were tough to come by, she writes wryly, as an excuse for her few days as a single 20-something. After a boyfriend dies while ascending a peak in Alaska, Redford finds herself grieving in the arms of his friend, then accidentally pregnant and hastily married when the course she’d hoped her life would take was back to school and work as a teacher. The ambitions of becoming a mountain climber that once saw her making repeat laps to Yosemite’s granite walls are shelved in the interest of testing life as a logger’s wife. As the subtitle implies, the book is one-third about mountains and two-thirds about a difficult marriage and the challenges of balancing motherhood with the desire to build a career or even take time away from her kids to climb. What she comes away with, in the end, is a truth the peaks level at anyone who braves them, no matter their gender: Sometimes you cannot be saved; you can only save yourself.

r : The American
Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder AUTHOR: CAROLINE FRASER METROPOLITAN BOOKS
While children over the world had already been reading her books for generations before, Laura Ingalls Wilder truly became a household name in the United States in the 1980s when viewers tuned in to the popular television series named after her early book, Little House on the Prairie. But the real-life woman wasn’t always—or maybe wasn’t ever—the bright-eyed, braid-wearing girl smiling from the TV set. Santa Fe author Caroline Fraser told SFR she was stunned this spring when news broke that she had won the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction for her biography of Wilder. Author of eight children’s books published between 1932 and 1943 that were loosely based on her family’s experiences before the turn of the century, Wilder settled down for the final chapters of her own life in southwestern Missouri. And the fact that Fraser wrote about her from Santa Fe is another rut in the long connection between that state and New Mexico. While none of the pioneers in Wilder’s family traveled the Santa Fe Trail that networked the two states, they made their way out West before the turn of the century in the same fashion. Fraser’s book is a biography of Wilder, yes—but is also a multifaceted approach, focusing more on the blurry lines between truth and story and firmly putting to rest notions raised by others that Wilder’s daughter Rose Wilder Lane
might have penned the celebrated books. Fraser struck out, she says, to compare the myth with reality in Wilder’s books. What’s more, the real story of the family as Fraser tells it is the true tale of so many families who went westward-ho—a life of uncertain poverty, of risks that didn’t pay off, a hardscrabble existence of people who
struck out to forge the frontier and, in many ways, failed at their ambition. They’re also the same families who are now grappling with their roles in the shameful history of squeezing Native people to beyond the margins in an era when few questioned Manifest Destiny and the idea of racial equality was not yet a faint glimmer. Told with the help of letters and pencil-marked early drafts of the books, Prairie Fires is the story of one of middle America’s most unlikely famous authors—and much more. (Julie Ann Grimm)

In the accumulating grief, he curls around the notion that a wildfire is not the end, but a way of resetting a landscape, and that the forest responds not with bleak desertion but with bountiful abundance of verdant aspen saplings and booming fish populations. We hope with him that what dies in fire plants the seeds of what will follow. (EM)

Rivers and landscapes run an exchange, one shaping the other as weak points are found and impermeable layers circumvented. So, too, can rivers and landscapes reshape the human lives that grow up around them, sometimes illuminating injuries and other times buttressing places about to collapse. In A Song for the River, Philip Connors braids lives and deaths over the top of southwestern New Mexico’s Gila Wilderness, a landscape he knows with an intimacy few individuals are lucky enough to attain, having stared at it and hiked through it for months each summer as a fire lookout. These people and this place have inspired and remade him, he writes, even as the place itself has been beset by wildfire. A series of deaths rattled Connors and the community of which he is at times a reluctant member. A fellow fire lookout dies riding his horse through a recent burn scar, and a plane crash following an aerial tour of that same burned area kills the pilot and three high schoolers on board, including a 14-yearold advocate for saving the Gila River from a death of its own: a dam. The book follows Connors’ acclaimed Fire Season, and even while detailing crippling health concerns, a divorce and burgeoning romance, he still manages to take up that

Bones of My Grandfather: Reclaiming a Lost Hero of World War II
Atlas of a Lost World: Travels in
Ice Age America
A U T H O R : C L AY B O N N Y M A N E VA N S SKYHORSE PUBLISHING
AUTHOR: CRAIG CHILDS PANTHEON
Nothing puts a small, modern human quite in her place like considering hundreds of thousands of years of history. Even before I turned the last page of Atlas of a Lost World, I found myself hunched over a chunk of gray rock, scanning for creatures whose images are entombed on its pocked surface and contemplating how the scene around me was different when the first humans scampered this way. They did walk this way. Right here. As we’ve come to expect from Craig Childs, he strikes a good balance between narrative adventure writing and the science of discovery, this time as he visits some of the places that hid contemporary clues about our ancient ancestors. The way he describes the natural world—the sky, the land, the plants and animals that inhabit it now and that once made their footprints and homes in it—is based in precise and practiced observation along with a healthy dose of scholarship and informed imagination. His inclusion of personal experiences are engaging because Childs, a Southwest son with roots in New Mexico, has done things worth writing about. He canoes through the Florida swamp, skis on a mountain poking through a glacier, kayaks with
his family in the arctic, brings his mother to a fishing village near the Bering land bridge, then takes no one at all for sub-sub-zero camping along a lake in Wisconsin. With the help of explanations from a legion of experts including archaeologists, paleontologists, anthropologists and other -ists you’ve never heard of, his thought-provoking thesis about the way mankind spread out over the globe during the Ice Age— with adversaries in the form of giant predators and extreme weather, rather than credit card debt and political upheaval—is the kind of perspective check many of us crave. What kind of energy can we waste today emphasizing our differences, when it’s possible to trace how early tool technology spread up and down what we call the Americas 25,000 years ago with surprising shared characteristics? We all arrived somehow. (JAG)
Bones of My Grandfather will appeal to many types of readers: World War II history buffs, for sure, but also fans of mysteries, adventure stories and personal memoir, as the book has a bit of all of these. The mystery surrounds the true fate of Alexander “Sandy” Bonnyman Jr., a Marine 1st Lieutenant who died on the island of Betio during the Battle of Tarawa in the Pacific during the war. A miner living in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, Bonnyman enlisted in the Marines (he had previously served in the Army) following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He received the Medal of Honor after helping to secure the island and dying in the 1943 battle, but his body— like the bodies of hundreds of Marines from the battle—was never recovered. Journalist Clay Bonnyman Evans grew up interested in World War II, though “strangely incurious about my grandfather, the real-life hero in my bloodline.” Evans became curious, and then obsessed, when he grew up and learned that his grandfather’s bones, as well as the bones of other soldiers, might have been abandoned on the island, with the US government doing little to recover them and bring peace to their families. Enter History Flight, an organization devoted to recover-
ing American soldiers and repatriating them to the US. Evans teamed up with History Flight, making several expeditions himself to Betio as a volunteer and chronicler of the organization’s work. In May 2015, Evans was part of the archaeological team that recovered the bones of his grandfather—and 40 other soldiers’ remains as well. From there, his grandfather was returned to the US for burial with full military hon-
ors. Evans’ quest to not just find his grandfather’s bones, but also learn the true story of his life and bring some reconciliation to his own family’s unanswered questions and grief, make for a gripping read. His journalist’s eye for detail, tenacity and obsessiveness propel this truly fascinating story. (JG) Disclosure: Evans was a staff writer at the Santa Fe Reporter during this writer’s tenure as an intern some 20-odd years ago. His work has also appeared in the Boulder Daily Camera, the Los Angeles Times, the Denver Post and many other publications.

Godshaper AUTHOR: SIMON SPURRIER I L L U S T R AT O R : J O N A S G O O N FA C E BOOM! STUDIOS
Six Gun Gorilla scribe Simon Spurrier joins forces with illustrator Jonas Goonface for Godshaper, one of the most lovingly crafted, devilishly fun and deviously clever comics series in recent memory. For reasons unknown, the laws of physics ceased to apply to the world in 1958. Now, some years down the road, the faithful citizens of planet Earth eke out simple existences with shape and powershifting gods always at their sides. Enter Ennay, a queer traveling minstrel type and worthless no-gody (meaning, he doesn’t have a god) who roams the land taking whatever jobs he can find, alongside a faithless ghostlike god named Bud who should have phased from existence from lack of worship who even knows how long ago. When Ennay and Bud get stuck with another young no-gody and unwittingly find themselves wrapped up in far-reaching mystery, life as they know it might never be the same. Spurrier’s razor-sharp writing rounds out creative characters with hip world-appropriate slang and authentic dialogue that
makes them feel like real people. Godshaper’s narrative transforms from slow burn into furious page-turner replete with distinct voice and ultra-fun peril at the blink of an eye. Illustrator Goonface, meanwhile, imagines a captivating world of dizzying strangeness that still feels tethered to a tenuous reality; a terrifying haunted land of oppression where queer cuties fill up juke joints and sing their hearts out and those on the fringes might be hated by society, but manage to care for one another—the occasional double-cross notwithstanding. As Bud and Ennay come closer to unraveling the truth behind everything, we hold our breath alongside them, hating their oppressors and cheering for their allies, relating to their pitfalls and wondering how many damn hats Bud’s going to collect.

There There AUTHOR: TO M MY O R A N G E ALFRED A KNOPF
The debut novel from author Tommy Orange is making all the smash-hit review rounds: the New York Times, The Guardian, NPR and The Paris Review. All to be expected from a well-written and engaging first book. What’s special about Orange for Santa Fe, though, is that we can kind of claim him: He recently graduated the writing MFA program at the Institute of American Indian Arts and now teaches for the program as well.
While it’s clear that Orange’s roots run deep in Oakland, California, and the city is more of a character than a setting in his book, we’ll still puff out our chests a bit and call him a hometown success.
The conceit of There There is not new or unique: Each chapter is told from the perspective of a different character (14 in all) whose stories seem disparate until their fates intersect on a singular day. It’s been done before. What makes the book worth reading, though, is the voice: It’s not only Native, but distinctly Urban Indian, unpacking the notion of Indianness in Oakland, which emerges as an unofficial rez. The author is the 15th character, appearing in sections of personal essay about Indigenous identity and American history. Moments of masterful magical realism pop up unexpectedly and with great success, never cumbersome as most attempts at the genre are. It’s a book you can fly through in a matter of days (the story is just that good), but that will stay with you long after. Not only complex and nuanced in its discussion of Indianness, it’s grounded firmly in 2018 and feels relatable and relevant; Facebook, a drone and a 3-D printer are critical plot elements. Addiction, violence and tragedy are cut with chilling yet uplifting stories of perseverance, sacrifice and downright enchantment. Every story therein remains pointedly unresolved—Orange ties no bows at the end of this one. We’re left with a deep wish to know how the folks we fell in love with ended up, though Orange’s competent character-building told us everything we really need to know— even if we don’t want to admit it.

Experts say fish don’t want to eat when the water is warm, so they’re less likely to bite in the first place—but if they do, being caught and released can be fatal.

She replies, glee in her voice: “I started out like that. I never danced a step till I was 40. … Now I’m almost 70, and I’ve ben dancing this whole time. And I’m a decent dancer now!” If you know what you’re doing, some of these folks are your peers; if you don’t, go to a lesson to meet other beginners and ease your way in.

We are the Seeds turns 2 “The feeling of community that’s coming through this year is blowing my mind,” We are the Seeds co-founder Tailinh Agoyo says. “If this is any indication of how these two days will be, it gives me chills.” Indeed, it’s almost hard to believe the fledgling Indigenous arts market is only entering its second year. In a way, it feels like it’s always been a part of the local cultural landscape—or, at least, like the contemporary, forward-thinking market many have desired for a long time. “I think it just kind of happens,” Agoyo continues. “It was us welcoming all kinds of art—there was no limitation as long as the art was of good quality, and it was pretty close that everyone who applied got in.” Thus, on Thursday and Friday in the Railyard, Seeds becomes a sprawling affair with over 70 artists plus numerous music, fashion and dance performances from area Natives, a silent auction, special food offerings from the likes of Jambo Café, youth workshops and more. “I think we have a really good mix this year,” Agoyo says, though she seems particularly excited for the 6 pm social dances on Thursday Aug. 16. “I remember,
growing up in Rhode Island and Brooklyn, we’d go to the American Indian Community House, and every month they’d have these dances where you could meet up with other Natives in New York; urban Indians and city Indians—it can sometimes be hard to find each other, and I have this memory of them being so fun—or just being there to enjoy the music and dance with friends.” Such feelings of community and fun are at the core of Seeds’ mission, one that Agoyo has worked for years to get off the ground as a former organizer for both SWAIA and now-defunct Indigenous Fine Art Market. “Obviously it’s really important for the artists to make money at the show, but for me, this is a celebration of us and everybody’s invited,” she says. “If we can bring the joy and the beautiful art and we are honest and authentic with ourselves, the people will come.” Let’s prove her right.

KEN HOWARD FOR SANTA FE OPERA, 2018
When Egos Battle, the Audience Wins Liv Redpath’s charming Zerbinetta was the heroine of the day.
Ariadne auf Naxos at the Santa Fe Opera 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
A
riadne auf Naxos, as presented by the Santa Fe Opera this summer, is a balanced melding of what I consider the three ways opera can go: Jaunty, lively and humorous; sublime if not snoozy and drawn-out; and heart-wrenchingly poignant and eternally relatable. Perhaps the perfect choice for newbies while remaining technically astounding to satisfy connoisseurs, it offers a taste of everything opera could possibly be in one production from a varied and deft cast, not to mention a nearly flawless orchestra
(conductor, James Gaffigan) that kept up with everything from movie score-style accompaniment to lush movements reminiscent of ancient melodies. Richard Strauss’ opera-within-anopera, inspired by a Moliére play and composed with librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal in 1912, starts with the feel of musical theater. In a dingey and claustrophobic back hallway full of doors, performers and serving staff prepare for a party at the house of “the richest man in Vienna.” The evening is to contain a commissioned opera by the dour and emo Composer (written for a woman dressed as a man, here sung by Amanda Majeski), followed by a cabaret by an Italian commedia dell’arte troupe led by the coquettish and beautiful Zerbinetta (Liv Redpath). The burlesque performers roll their eyes at the way-too-serious opera
stars (including Prima Donna Amanda Echalaz and Tenor Bruce Sledge)—and the opera stars are horrified by the burlesque performers, who make out in dressing rooms and change their clothes wherever they please. “They are vulgar, ordinary people who run from beauty to a place of ordinary banality,” the Composer sings. Yikes! So imagine the reaction from both parties when the head butler (Kevin Burdette, a spoken role) informs them that the master of the house wants to commence his fireworks right at 9 pm and there isn’t time for both performances—but in order for each troupe to receive their full pay, they must both perform … simultaneously. The impossibly depressing Ariadne auf Naxos from a composer so serious and precious is to be mashed up with comedians in spats and feathered caps. “She needs companions! … On we will go to bring a smile to the story,” the clowns happily sing. (Alternately: “There is only pain and suffering in this world; I have no reason to live,” says the Composer. OK then.) The 45-minute first act, sung mostly in English (the translation by Tim Albery aims to make the jokes more accessible to an American audience, and succeeds), firmly establishes the stars of this production: Majeski’s Composer and Redpath’s Zerbinetta. Not only are they charismatic on their own, but they find their way to each other for a romance that practically throws off visible sparks. The fantastic performances from both women could not be more different, but come together with chemistry so exhilarating, I doubt Strauss could ever have imagined its effect on audiences an ocean and a century away. The second act of Ariadne is the performance itself. The cramped, mildewy hallway is replaced by a modern, vaguely sexual petal-shaped cavern, and Ariadne herself is revealed in a spinning seed pod-cum-egg-cum-boat kind of thing, all courtesy scenic designer Tobias Hoheisel. Ariadne, the character of Greek myth, is stranded on a desert island and mourns the loss of her one true love, Theseus. (He didn’t die, he just ditched her after she saved his life. Typical.) Echalaz, the hoity-toity Prima Donna of the first act, is also Ariadne here, and she spends much of the performance either in sublime misery or curled up in her egg in melodramatic grief. As beautiful as her arias are (and be not mistaken, they’re gorgeous, if occasionally strained), she’s a real Debbie downer. During the writing of Ariadne, as described by Michael Kennedy in a 2013 Guardian article, von Hofmannsthal and Strauss clashed over what should
OPERA
be jettisoned to shorten what was originally a 5-hour work: less play (Strauss hated this idea) or less opera (von Hofmannsthal was loath to cut the Ariadne within Ariadne). For this reviewer, Strauss should have gotten his way a little more. The opera within the opera is indeed sublime, as it must be, but it’s by no fault of the Santa Fe Opera that its exquisite misery just got exhausting. I couldn’t have been more relieved when the commedia dell’arte troupe crept onstage during Ariadne’s mournful reverie and aimed to cheer her up. The four men (Jarrett Ott, Anthony Robin Schneider, Matthew DiBattista and Terrence ChinLay, a fantastic comedic ensemble if ever there was one) dance around barbershop quartet-style, canes and all, as Ariadne in her flowing black robes whinges and whines. “We sympathize with the lover’s grieving,” they sing, “but endless sighs are unappealing.” And now for the timeless humanity: Zerbinetta, in a flawless and acrobatic rondo, essentially tells the slumped figure in the egg to get over herself. Praise be to Zerbinetta (and, in turn, Redpath)! She emerges as the true heroine of this story, reminding Ariadne that there is impossible loneliness wherever there are people; “Onstage I seem to be light and coquettish, but maybe my heart is not onstage at all,” she sang in the first act. Now, the party girl drives home that, after the lights go out, the party guests invariably leave. She’s surrounded by men and admired by audiences, but she is so deeply and quintessentially alone. Which fate is worse? The literal desert island, or the desert island that we each are? “In each of us beats the same unfathomable heart,” she sings to an unresponsive Ariadne. After a poignant and bittersweet ending, the curtain call elicited the first standing ovation of the year from this reviewer. Echalaz received the final bow and the rowdiest audience response— but all my personal bravas go to Redpath and Majeski and their smoldering SallyBowles-meets-Nicolas-Cage-fromMoonstruck chemistry. “Seize whatever life may offer, be it bliss or a broken heart,” the troupe had sung. “Welcome feeling, welcome passion, welcome Cupid’s painful dart.” All of this feeling and passion is more than welcome—and as for those darts: If they’re from this cast, keep ’em coming.

nough radioactive material to endanger the whole city in the wrong hands. That’s what was inside an 80-gallon plastic drum secured with duct tape and Velcro, left in an abandoned building on Airport Road as recently as last year. The old Eberline Instruments facility sits behind a fence near where the southwest Santa Fe thoroughfare intersects South Meadows Road. Sweeney Elementary School is less than 500 feet away, and some homes and businesses are even closer. The global company that owns the land says the radioactive material called americium-241 was further encased inside a smaller steel drum and sealed air-tight before someone finally took it away. But a letter state officials sent to Thermo Fisher Scientific last summer indicates some toxic material may still remain unaccounted for. What’s bad for Santa Fe is that nearly everything the public knows about the property’s potential contamination has come from the company itself, a Massachusetts-based world manufacturer of laboratory instrumentation and high-tech equipment with a spotty track record for following safety regulations at its Eberline facility. It’s not just 2 grams of americium-241, a radioactive nuclide resulting from decayed isotopes of plutonium forged in nuclear reactors, that was left sitting around. There was a long list of other similarly toxic radioactive materials used when manufacturing occurred there. Until a decade ago, the Eberline plant made radiation detection equipment that it shipped to nuclear facilities all over the world. The plant’s founder, Howard Clayton Eberline, had imagined in the 1950s that Santa Fe would supply the instruments to facilitate the nuclear energy revolution. The facility’s trajectory from the front lines of this industry to a poison-packed shell on the city’s edge is as much a story about local industrial decline as it is about a lack of accountability. A review by SFR of half a century’s worth of newspaper reporting as well as records from the state Environment Department suggest that Eberline’s role as a large employer and the stature of

If you have a Netflix account, you’re surely aware of the new and popular Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale, the spiritual successor to the actor/comedian’s E! show, The Soup. McHale also won fans in the role of Jeff Winger on the brilliantly clever Dan Harmon-led sitcom Community, a biting and hysterical look into the bizarre goings-on at a Colorado community college. McHale comes to New Mexico this weekend (7 and 9:30 pm Friday Aug. 17. $25-$45. The Stage at The Star, Santa Ana Star Casino, 54 Jemez Dam Road, Bernalillo, 505771-5353) for a standup performance. Bernalillo’s not usually part of our beat, but c’mon—it’s Joel McHale. We pretty much had no choice but to call him and get the lowdown. Find an extended version of this interview at sfreporter.com. (Alex De Vore) The new show on Netflix seems to be going really well. How is that change from E!? Like, is it more fun? It seems popular. Is it popular? I dunno. They won’t tell us. I guess we’ll know if they pick it up again. We’ll really know if they don’t pick it up. It’s really fun, I love doing it, I love the people I’m working with. The Soup kind of ended strangely with the stuff that was going on with E!, and I knew I wanted to do it again. Netflix is the king of the universe, and the fact they wanted to do the show was very exciting—to do it on a screening service, with no commercials, being able to say whatever we want, was very exciting. I hope people are watching it—I have my eye on a new Porsche. Really, it’s like doing standup for 20 minutes with an audience and cameras. It’s a ball. What was the development process like for the new show? Since it’s a binge model, the shows have to be a little more evergreen, but I love when we find obscure clips from weird countries—when it’s just these weird clips you would not expect, I love that stuff. It’s a lot of gathering, a couple clip meetings a week. When we see the deadline for the show, you start sifting through, shoving in the different shows and different themes. It’s not that complicated of a process, but it’s definitely labor-intensive. I know that it sounds like a nice job to sit around watching TV all day, but you have to watch it actively and I think some of the [writers] are borderline suicidal. My soul gets crushed by anything with Housewives—they’re just constantly hating each other, and that can wear you down. Then they get drunk and fight and make up. It’s super popular, though. Andy Cohen’s a genius. I’ve asked around, and no one can really tell me what the content of your standup show is like. It’s a lot like the Cirque du Soleil show O. It’s got a lot of pyrotechnics, a lot of people scantily clad, a lot of water. It’s very expensive. I lose about $250,000 a show. No, it’s a bunch of funny jokes. It’s a ton of ... I’m all over the map as far as content. It’s definitely not me just going, ‘Remember when I watched this funny clip years ago?’ I talk a lot about America, I don’t talk too much about politics—though that’s definitely a part of the show. Let’s just say it’s the greatest show anyone will ever observe in their lives. SFREPORTER.COM

Chicken shawarma salad served alongside a turmeric tahini dressing, with fresh pita and hummus on the side. Dang.
Hive and Mighty The Beestro’s back with the same fresh delicious ethos and a new Middle Eastern focus BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
he Beestro was once an essential lunchtime spot, operating like a food truck with a permanent location, since everything was made offsite in a commissary kitchen with the intention of selling out a limited quantity of items daily. It served up budget-friendly but still healthy lunchables at a little hole in the wall spot on Marcy Street sandwiched (no pun intended) between Design Warehouse and a boutique called Mira which, along with The Beestro, shuttered its doors in late February. I remember it well because I ate there often, thrilled to have the rare downtown Santa Fe lunch under $10 that was quick, fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly, the lunch options quirky and varied—things like two giant rice noodle and herb spring rolls with poke sauce, or a pressed Cubano and an array of hearty salads with richly varied layers of vegetables— and its closure was like a knife to the heart, not to mention the stomach.
So while I was absolutely thrilled to hear of its reopening in the San Francisco Street mall known as the Plaza Galeria, in a space formerly occupied by a Subway, I was skeptical about its completely revamped menu, which now focuses specifically on Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food; those spring rolls were like crack to a Plaza-adjacent working girl like me. But in a meeting with chef and owner Greg Menke, my fears subsided. “I felt like the falafel and salads were the real high points of the menu,” he muses. “I talked to a lot of people in the sandwich business, and they all said the same thing—people definitely are eating differently now, especially when they work. They want clean proteins, more vegetables and less bread.” Thus, the new menu features several entrees that serve as various iterations of fresh, sky-high mountains of vegetables: carrot ribbons, pickled turnips, radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, grilled eggplant, quinoa tabouleh, beets, cabbage and red onion come loaded on a plate of farmer’s market fresh greens. Customers can choose from a pita ($6.95), salad or rice plate (each $9.95). The main proteins, available at an additional cost ranging from $1 to $3, are consistent between the dishes and include falafel, chicken or steak shawarma, lamb gyro and salmon skew-

ers. There are also bowls or cups ($4.95 or $3.50, respectively) of red lentil kabocha or green chile chicken meatball soup, and sides of hummus or baba ghanoush ($5.95) served with two fluffy pitas. Ordering can be done either in person or online at thebeestro.com. I sampled the chicken shawarma salad with all the vegetable fixings, slathered in a turmeric tahini sauce and topped with feta. I also got a side of hummus with pita bread, so I could dip my pita in the hummus and load each bite up with vegetables. The meat was tender and had a subtle earthy spice to it, and the vegetables provided satisfying texture and crunch. It was a refreshing lunch and, in keeping with the spirit of the former Beestro, a radical departure from anything else I could find on the crowded summer streets of Santa Fe’s Plaza area. And while Cleopatra Café, Pyramid Café and Milad serve up similar fare across Santa Fe, finding a salad-heavy shawarma anywhere in town is a nice change of pace. Menke says he has always nurtured a deep appreciation for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. “I lived in that part of the world for three years in [the ’90s],” Menke reminisces. “I was in Greece and traveled through Turkey and Lebanon and the Middle East, so I’m really familiar with it—and it fasci-

nates me, the anthropology of what and how people eat and where foods come from. And I just thought there wasn’t anyone in town doing this type of Middle Eastern food, considering where we source our ingredients and the kind of pita bread we use.” Their traditional Arabic bread is “a little fluffier than the 1980s-style pocket pita with tuna and sprouts in it. In Palestine and Israel, this is the type they use,” Menke adds. “We get it delivered fresh every day.” The bread is made by Neda Abweh, the wife of Alex Abweh, owner of Samsville Gallery, also in the Plaza Galeria. She recently opened up a small Albuquerque-based bakery called Neda Pita. My lunch’s pita was fresh and warm, much like the falafel, and I consider this an improvement over the previous items at the former Beestro which needed to be reheated on site. As for the ingredients, Menke is firm in his conviction to source organic and pesticide-free when possible from regional farmers, notably greens from SunGreen Living Foods, pistachio nuts from Heart of the Desert, lamb from Colorado and honey from nearby beekeepers. Additionally, The Beestro has always steered clear of artificial colors and flavors, high fructose corn syrup and MSG. So while I am going to miss those spring rolls, I can’t fault The Beestro for continuing in its mission to service the working class who deal with Santa Fe’s tourist trade. “I’ve always tried to build my reputation on speed and consistency,” Menke affirms. “And the quality of the food; most of my customers are locals who work downtown and come in on their breaks and needed that lunch five minutes ago. The menu is streamlined, but still focused on local, fresh food. Everything comes out much more quickly, but that much has stayed the same.”

BlacKkKlansman Review
RATINGS BEST MOVIE EVER
All power to all the people 10

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
9
+ IMPORTANT
Spike Lee’s newest is a film that should make you break down sobbing. For the past and the present—and for the potential future, given this low point in human history. BlacKkKlansman so vividly and powerfully captures our attention, taking us right up to the brink of hope before abruptly pulling us back down to reality; where racism is very much alive and well, where former KKK grand wizard David Duke can appear publicly, without fear, where protesters are run down for daring to point out that Black Lives Matter and where non-white Americans struggle daily for their very humanity. America first? Fuck you. John David Washington (Ballers) is Ron Stallworth, the real-life Colorado Springs detective who, in 1979, infiltrated the ranks of a local KKK chapter by simply making phone calls to local white supremacists and even David Duke himself (Topher Grace). Jewish officer Phillip Zimmerman (played here by Girls and Star Wars alum Adam Driver) poses as Stallworth for in-person goings on, and the small investigative team uncovers and thwarts an assassination attempt on a black student activist (Laura Harrier of Spiderman: Homecoming). It’s a fascinating bit of American history and the actual Stallworth

even penned a book about it (Black Klansman: A Memoir)—though Lee’s version is dramaticized. Before now, Stallworth’s story was ultimately relegated to the trivia pile for most Americans. Hopefully this film changes that. Washington is electric as Stallworth, his lifelong desire to be a cop at odds with his burgeoning radicalism. Can change occur from the inside? Maybe so. Harrier wows as well, a strong black woman with a penchant for subtle vulnerability and a streak of well-earned rage. Even the white guys (some of ’em, anyhow) start to get it as best they can, but the racism rampant on the streets of Colorado Springs and within Stallworth’s department itself is shockingly casual— conditioned, maybe, but no less ugly. That casual hate grows bolder throughout the film, starting at something about how the Klan “is non-violent” and culminating in cross-burning and explosives among intense, heartbreaking, powerfully delivered lessons in black history. Corey Hawkins as
Kwame Ture alone is worth watching. But it’s not all heavy doom and gloom. There is pain, shock and awe, yes, but artfully chosen moments of levity punctuate the more challenging elements and the editing and pacing are damn near perfect. And we should never look away, even if BlacKkKlansman proves hard to watch— especially for white people, and rightly so. If the events of Charlottesville or the similar re-rise of no-longer-afraid white supremacists haven’t clued you in to how the fight must continue, perhaps pop culture will. Either way, there’s a lot to learn and a lot to consider here thanks to Lee’s masterful filmmaking and the real Stallworth’s incredible achievements.

+ FISHER IS A REVELATION; EERILY RELATABLE
- DRAGS IN PLACES
Newcomer Elsie Fisher achieves what must be the most profound and natural performance of the year as newly minted teen Kayla in comedian Bo Burnham’s screenwriting and directorial debut, Eighth Grade. A smart and intimate overview of a young woman’s waning middle school career, Burnham’s opus is at turns sickly-sweet and moving, terrifying and nostalgic; painful and hysterical, but earnest in a simple yet powerful way. Kayla is like any teen of today, a phone in her hand at all times and an overactive relationship with the internet, who tries to eke by unnoticed in a middle school full of familiar archetypes— the jocks and art kids, the band geeks and popular girls, the nerds and theater dweebs. But whereas most films focused on such an historically awkward era follow hyperactive sex drives or the tired popularity-at-all-costs thread, Burnham’s story humanizes high school-aged kids while unpacking new-world dilemmas alongside age-old drama. Kayla casts an introverted and awkward pall over everything, fearing pool parties, school politics and her crush while cultivating

his daughter as she ventures deeper into the world, but ultimately trusts and understands her age-appropriate mood swings. He knows Kayla is cool, perhaps even ahead of her time, even if he does wind up doing embarrassing dad things now and then. But Fisher is the draw here, and we slowly learn how strong she really is. Throughout Eighth Grade, she faces her fears with a steadfast resolve, speaking her mind and embracing her vulnerability despite her self-perceived shortcomings and flaws. Kayla is a modern-day hero—for any gender or lack thereof—perhaps because we can see ourselves in her coming of age story, or maybe just because she never strays too far from honesty with herself and those around her.

charismatic best friend Miles (Rafael Casal) isn’t looking for the same. A love letter to the city of Oakland, warts and all, Blindspotting proves an electrifying story, and one of the best this year has to offer yet. As the scribes, co-producers and stars, Diggs and Casal reveal a changing environment alongside a deep yet toxic friendship. Collin always seems to be the voice of reason to Miles’ outbursts, but as such, he generally becomes the recipient of backlash. It’s often amusing, but mostly at the expense of the brutal undertones of their environment, exposing ugliness through a necessary dose of sugar. While Collin privately struggles, Miles tries to raise a child with his girlfriend, Ashley, amazingly played by TV mainstay Jasmine Cephas Jones. Janina Gavankar (of the canceled show Sleepy Hollow) also makes an impression as Val—at first glance just Collin’s crush, but someone who proves much deeper. Onetime teen heartthrob Ethan Embry shows up, unexpectedly, as the police officer we know too well these days, destroying Collin’s psyche with his reckless actions. Director Carlos Lopez Estrada knows this is Diggs and Casal’s show, and his visual style, spearheaded through cinematographer Robby Baumgartner, gives a lively playground for the actors to play in. And they do, wholeheartedly. He might have been too generous at times, however, and could have reminded his stars that less is sometimes more—but, given the final product, it’s a minor complaint. Within three days, we see two boys make the final transition into men: Men with regrets, anxieties, weaknesses, passions, hopes and dreams; examples of the men we see killed on the news all too frequently, but men who identify and pursue a different kind of home in a city they’ve survived their entire lives. (Matthew K Gutierrez) Violet Crown, R, 95 min.
Everyone you know who has seen Blindspotting is telling you to see it, too. They’re right.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT REVIEW
7
+ THRILLINGLY OVER-THE-TOP
ACTION; (MOSTLY) MAGNETIC CAST
- EVERY CLICHE IMAGINABLE
Mission: Impossible - Fallout, the franchise’s sixth installment, throws away coherency and realism, replacing these with palpable tension and absurd action pieces. Ghosts of Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) past come back to haunt him as a cache of plutonium is lost on his watch, and it’s up to the Impossible Missions Force (ugh) to combat a group of terrorists called The Apostles in retrieving it. Fans of the series will appreciate the gunplay, fistfights, mask-wearing and daredevil stunts provided by Cruise, anyone else
Ben Foster does a terrible job of leaving no trace in Leave No Trace.
will find a serviceable action flick that works OK for late summer. Cruise is loose—hydrated and unstoppable, remarkable for a 56-year-old actor. Henry Cavill (Man From UNCLE), meanwhile, looks as if he’s been sleeping in his car for the last few weeks. He’s so puffy, he can’t fully put his arms down. Ving Rhames is surprisingly soulful as Luther Stickell, however, and his long-standing relationship with Cruise’s Ethan Hunt takes the forefront, further strengthening their 23-year bond. Elsewhere, Rebecca Ferguson (Life) has the most spectacular character entrance in the film, and although she is underused, she is easily the biggest scene-stealer. Simon Pegg further proves he belongs in the series with some of the best scenes coming from his familiarity with every single recurring character. Alec Baldwin shows up, too, basically playing himself, but Angela Bassett capably counters his forgiving-father archetype with a stern mother character as head of the CIA. Sean Harris, the stereotypical villain, growls and makes threats. An honorable mention does go to True Detective alum Michelle Monaghan as it was particularly nice to see her come back to the series. Christopher McQuarrie returns as well as series writer/director, following up his success with the fifth installment, Rogue Nation. McQuarrie’s directing style is competent enough as far as action scenes go, but between the too-frequent double crosses and an excess of cheesy lines (21 by this author’s rough
count), his writing skills feel weak. The sets and cinematography simultaneously scream “pretty” and “fake.” Still, as we approach late summer, there are far worse choices. Fallout is as silly as it comes, but at least it isn’t a disappointment. (MKG) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 147 min.
LEAVE NO TRACE
8
+ IT’S A HEART-WRENCHING THINKER - MINIMAL STORYTELLING LEAVES LOTS UNDONE
For a movie based on the post-service experiences of disturbed veteran, the soundscape of Leave No Trace is stunning in its quiet. Not just its lack of flashbacks, mind you, but its pensive non-verbal communication—all the sounds you don’t hear. For a movie that takes place largely in the dripping wet woods of the Pacific Northwest, the complexity of the plot is fitting in its density. There are few rewards in being such an outsider that even your own footprint creates a sense of unease. But that is the life that Will (Ben Foster, ) lives, in complete survivalist mode, and thus the life in which he leads his daughter Tom (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie). The backstory of where and when he served and what happened to Tom’s mother isn’t important in this telling, although we admit we crave more of that. The unknowns of how they CONTINUED ON PAGE 43

JURRASIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM
3
+ DINOS ARE OBJECTIVELY AWESOME - JUST A STRAIGHT-UP BAD MOVIE
When Laura Dern and Sam Neil craned their necks to behold a wandering pack of brontosauruses in the original Jurassic Park 25 years ago, the music swelled, the emotions bubbled and audiences were filled with a deep sense of awe. When Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard run afoul of whatever dinosaurs happen their way in the franchise’s newest entry, it is painfully obvious that this series needs to go extinct. Welcome to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, a tired and way-too-long slog from JA Bayona, director of the excellent 2007 horror film The Orphanage. This bad boy doesn’t even register on the dumb summer popcorn flick scale thanks to its retreading of old material disguised as homage, parallel utter lack of acting and story quality, and heavy-handed performances from everyone throughout. When last we left our heroes, they’d escaped yet another dino theme park gone awry and now, just like in the third Jurassic Park (that’s the one where Sam Neil goes back to the island for some reason), they must return on some misguided animal rights mission because—get this—turns out there was a volcano there the whole time and it’s active suddenly and nobody wants the dinos to die. Again. Oof. But it turns out the guys behind the mercy mission are animal traffickers hired by yet another generation of ne’er-do-wells (plus BD Wong, again, for who-knows-why) who plan on getting rich through dino-cloning and genetic manipulation; people start getting eaten and
our heroes must intervene or, like, more people gonna get eaten. Pratt seems bored here as an animal behaviorist (yeah, right) and is not even allowed to do that rogue-ish smarm-charm for which he’s become known in better movies like Guardians of the Galaxy. Howard, meanwhile, brings no heat whatsoever to the role of a former exec now laboring under a nonprofit change of heart and trying to save animals because life is sacred or something. Other cast members exist, it’s just they matter so little that one almost wonders why they appear in the first place. Comic relief? Depth? If so, you’d never know it, and the script certainly isn’t doing them any favors, nor are the endless chase scenes, perilous moments of dino terror or beyond-silly narrative. With news of any Star Wars spinoffs biting the dust this week due to low box office numbers, we can only hope moviegoers enact a similar takedown of the Jurassic movies. Steven Spielberg captured something special with his first adaptation of the Michel Crichton universe all those years ago. Today’s attempts feel stale and business-like, the sort of product churned out to take advantage of nostalgia and a slap in the face of everyone who ever felt a sense of wonder for the idea of prehistoric beasts. Boo. Muck. Filth. Slime. Rubbish. Boo. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 128 min.
9:15 SUMMER OF 84
2:00 THE CATCHER WAS SUNDAY, AUG. 19TH A SPY 2:00 AWAKENING IN 4:10 NIGHT COMES ON TAOS
Tom Cruise and company get into some risky business in the newest Mission: Impossible. came to live on public land are still gnawing days after our viewing. Foster conveys gruff love with deep eyes since his face is largely hidden under a golden beard, and Tom’s own chin does some of her biggest heaves as it quivers under the weight of her coming of age. “The same thing that’s wrong with you,” she says at a pivotal moment, “isn’t wrong with me.” The two characters get all the artistic focus of director Debra Granik, known for her griping Missouri woods rendition of Winter’s Bone; Leave No Trace is also adapted from a novel, by Peter Rock, which that author says is based on a true story. This one’s also solemn and unjust as the pair suffers the intervention of social services. It feels true enough: the rules our society imposes, the way in which for many those rules are just too much to bear. And how we don’t have much room, really, for figuring out a way to loosen the bondage to allow for healing. (Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, PG, 109 min.

EMILY and 5 other kittens were rescued from a mobile home park near Espanola. We believe they are from two related litters rather than from the same litter. They were all thin and very hungry, but have been steadily gaining weight. TEMPERAMENT: All the kittens are very playful and love to wrestle. The kittens must go with a sibling or to a home with another playful cat or kitten. EMILY is very cuddly, and seems to say everything with her eyes. She is the glamour kitten of the litter. EMILY is a beautiful Russian Blue mix girl with a gray coat. AGE: born approx. 5/1/18.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny
Week of August 15th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The prettier the garden, the dirtier the hands of the gardener,” writes aphorist B. E. Barnes. That’ll be especially applicable to you in the coming weeks. You’ll have extra potential to create and foster beauty, and any beauty you produce will generate practical benefits for you and those you care about. But for best results, you’ll have to expend more effort than maybe you thought you should. It might feel more like work than play -- even though it will ultimately enhance your ability to play.
fully reveal themselves. But they can be just as exciting as any fire sign and just as weird as any Aquarius and just as talkative as a Gemini and just as empathetic as a Pisces. Really, Librans are some of the most eccentric people you’ll ever meet, but you might not know it unless they trust you enough to take their masks off around you.” Spurred by Sebastian’s analysis, here’s my advice to you: I hope you’ll spend a lot of time with people you trust in the coming weeks, because for the sake of your mental and physical and spiritual health, you’ll need to express your full eccentricity. (Sebastian’s at http://venuspapi.tumblr.com.)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author and theologian Thomas Merton thought that the most debilitating human temptation is to settle for too little; to live a comfortable life rather than an interesting one. I wouldn’t say that’s always true about you, Taurus. But I do suspect that in the coming weeks, a tendency to settle for less could be the single most devitalizing temptation you’ll be susceptible to. That’s why I encourage you to resist the appeal to accept a smaller blessing or punier adventure than you deserve. Hold out for the best and brightest. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I’ve learned quite a lot, over the years, by avoiding what I was supposed to be learning.” So says the wise and well-educated novelist Margaret Atwood. Judging by your current astrological omens, I think this is an excellent clue for you to contemplate right now. What do you think? Have you been half-avoiding any teaching that you or someone else thinks you’re “supposed” to be learning? If so, I suggest you avoid it even stronger. Avoid it with cheerful rebelliousness. Doing so may lead you to what you really need to learn about next. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Sometimes you make it difficult for me to reach you. You act like you’re listening but you’re not really listening. You semi-consciously decide that you don’t want to be influenced by anyone except yourself. When you lock me out like that, I become a bit dumb. My advice isn’t as good or helpful. The magic between us languishes. Please don’t do that to me now. And don’t do it to anyone who cares about you. I realize that you may need to protect yourself from people who aren’t sufficiently careful with you. But your true allies have important influences to offer, and I think you’ll be wise to open yourself to them.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A blogger who calls herself Wistful Giselle has named the phenomena that make her “believe in magic.” They include the following: “illuminated dust in the air; the moments when a seedling sprouts; the intelligence gazing back at me from a crow’s eyes; being awaken by the early morning sun; the energy of storms; old buildings overgrown with plants; the ever-changing grey green blue moods of the sea; the shimmering moon on a cool, clear night.” I invite you to compile your own list, Scorpio. You’re entering a time when you will be the beneficiary of magic in direct proportion to how much you believe in and are alert for magic. Why not go for the maximum? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Since 1969, eight-foottwo-inch-tall Big Bird has been the star of the kids’ TV show Sesame Street. He’s a yellow bird puppet who can talk, write poetry, dance, and roller skate. In the early years of the show, our hero had a good friend who no one else saw or believed in: Mr. Snuffleupagus. After 17 years, there came a happy day when everyone else in the Sesame Street neighborhood realized that Snuffy was indeed real, not just a figment of Big Bird’s imagination. I’m foreseeing a comparable event in your life sometime soon, Sagittarius. You’ll finally be able to share a secret truth or private pleasure or unappreciated asset.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Activist and author Simone de Beauvoir was one of those Capricorns whose lust for life was both lush and intricate. “I am awfully greedy,” she wrote. “I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish.” Even if your LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Whoever does not visit Paris longings are not always as lavish and ravenous as hers, regularly will never really be elegant,” wrote French Capricorn, you now have license to explore the mysteriauthor Honoré de Balzac. I think that’s an exaggeration, ous state she described. I dare you to find out how vorabut it does trigger a worthwhile meditation. According cious you can be if you grant yourself permission. to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re in a phase of your cycle when you have maximum power to AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my reading raise your appreciation of elegance, understand how it of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be prime time to vividly express your appreciation for and could beautify your soul, and add more of it to your understanding of the people you care about most. I urge repertoire. So here are your homework meditations: you to show them why you love them. Reveal the depths What does elegance mean to you? Why might it be valuable to cultivate elegance, not just to enhance your of your insights about their true beauty. Make it clear self-presentation, but also to upgrade your relationship how their presence in your life has had a beneficent or healing influence on you. And if you really want to get with your deep self? (P.S.: Fashion designer Christian dramatic, you could take them to an inspiring outdoor Dior said, “Elegance must be the right combination of spot and sing them a tender song or two. distinction, naturalness, care, and simplicity.”) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Many of us imagine medieval Europe to have been drab and dreary. But historian Jacques Le Goff tells us that the people of that age adored luminous hues: “big jewels inserted into bookbindings, glowing gold objects, brightly painted sculpture, paintings covering the walls of churches, and the colored magic of stained glass.” Maybe you’ll be inspired by this revelation, Virgo. I hope so. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you can activate sleeping wisdom and awaken dormant energy by treating your eyes to lots of vivid reds, greens, yellows, blues, browns, oranges, purples, golds, blacks, coppers, and pinks.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her book Yarn: Remembering the Way Home, Piscean knitter Kyoko Mori writes, “The folklore among knitters is that everything handmade should have at least one mistake so an evil sprit will not become trapped in the maze of perfect stitches.” The idea is that the mistake “is a crack left open to let in the light.” Mori goes on to testify about the evil spirit she wants to be free of. “It’s that little voice in my head that says, ‘I won’t even try this because it doesn’t come naturally to me and I won’t be very good at it.’” I’ve quoted Mori at length, Pisces, because I think her insights are the exact tonic you need right now.
