A&C, JULY 26: LETTERS, AUGUST 9: “NO GOOD”

YES EXTREMIST Joe Cieszinski’s pro-life letter states that “biological life begins at conception.” This rationale is used to attempt to prohibit abortifacients, but it is a misleading idea since the brain stem does not develop immediately. … Biological life does not equal sentient life.

One issue in this debate that I never see discussed is where the soul comes in. ... Since the capacity for sentience, or consciousness, only develops later in the fetus, that means the soul cannot enter immediately. … Some people think that the individual soul usually begins to familiarize itself with the new body it will inhabit, at between six to eight months. Before that, it’s not worth it, since the fetus is neurologically undeveloped. …

The church does much good within the world. However, its pro-life position—originally established for the selfish purpose of growing congregations—has been eclipsed by the enormous problem of over-population, which it helped create. Christianity was not mandated as a tyrannical force, and the church should have the courage to

Wise Council B Y M AT T G R U B S

I

THE CITY WILL PAY FOR YOUR CAMPAIGN. SERIOUSLY!

Of the 10 candidates SFR spoke to, only District 1 challenger Doug Nava plans to privately fund his campaign. That’s not to say it couldn’t change—candidates have until the day they accept the first public-financing check to switch from public to private financing. It’s not free money, though. Public financing requires you to work for it a little.

SFR’S GUIDE TO GETTING ELECTED f Santa Fe sees one third of its registered voters show up to the polls for the next election, it’ll be a decent turnout. Most voters don’t care enough to show up on some Tuesday in March when they’re more likely to be thinking about spring break than whom to put in City Hall.

Next year, though, Santa Feans will elect their first full-time mayor and start paying her or him a $110,000 annual salary. And two of the four city councilors up for reelection aren’t running. Last time the city had a mayor’s race and two open council seats, 10 candidates ran for those three offices.

Campaign Cash Dash

The city is fresh off a barnburner of a special election that topped turnout for that 2014 mayoral election, so expect a healthy slate of both candidates and voters at the polls in March 2018.

“It’s hard, to say the least,” says first-term Councilor Renee Villarreal, who tells SFR collaboration is vital. “Listening to all sides; even though you may not agree with somebody’s side, you need to take into consideration their point of view.”

With the city willing to kick in cash for public financing, the time is ripe if you’re the kind of Santa Fean who reckons they can make a difference. So, should you run? Here’s how.

»

Seed money — City law says candidates can collect a small amount of private money to get their campaigns underway while they wait for the first public check; up to 10 percent of the public total. No more than $100 in cash or in-kind contributions (printing flyers, providing meals to volunteers) can come from a single entity. Council candidates are limited to $1,500 in seed money and mayoral candidates can raise $6,000. Raising seed money is allowed, but not required.

»

Qualifying donations — You have to prove people are taking you seriously, so

»

Decide — You can back out of public financing up until the point you cash the first check. While $15,000 or $60,000 might seem like a lot, remember that campaigns can easily crank up the PR machine and spend $4 million like they did in the sugary-drink tax election. Private contributors are limited to $1,000 each, so if you have more than 15 rich friends, you might be missing out. Then again, you might be making a point by accepting public financing.

candidates need to get $5 donations from voters in their district. Candidates have to raise one percent of their eventual total, so that’s $150 for City Council and $600 for mayoral candidates. The deadline to qualify for public financing will be in November.

Go od fo r yo u citizen !

To-do List Pick up your candidate packet — The first day can-

didates can swing by the city clerk’s office to pick up instructions is Sept. 1. They have all the info you need for gathering signatures from registered voters, election rules and campaign finance particulars.

Turn in your signatures — The packet will tell you how many nominating signatures you should expect to need.

City law says one half of one percent of the registered voters in your district (or in the entire city if you’re running for mayor). Oct. 31 is the final day to turn in them in. Be sure to get more than you need, because “Seymour Butts” is probably not a registered voter.

Declare your candidacy — This is the most important day of the campaign, other than Election Day. Dec. 5 is the one day to officially declare your candidacy for city office. As City Clerk Yolanda Vigil explains, “You could do everything else right—pick up the packet, gather your signatures, collect money—but if you fail to declare your candidacy on Dec. 5, you’re not a candidate.”

Get out the vote! — Election Day is March 6, 2018.

Expect a full slate of candidates and a robust turnout, given the overall interest in the election and the new use of voting convenience centers that let you vote anywhere in town.

So You’ve Decided to Run Some civic-minded citizens have already tossed their proverbial hats into the proverbial ring (possibly while reading Proverbs, but also possibly not).

Because City Councilor Ron Trujillo is looking to become Mayor Ron Trujillo, he has to give up the District 4 council seat he’d have to defend in March. That’s already attracted three candidates, including two newcomers and a former city administrator.

JoAnne Vigil Coppler twice headed the city’s Human Resources Department and has worked for the state court system. She now runs her own real estate agency. Greg Scargall is a US Navy veteran who helped start the Veterans Resource Center at Santa Fe Community College. Eric Holmes is a longtime local businessman who owns a collection of promotional, printing and media companies. All three say they welcome competition.

“We’re going to have a lot more in common than we do that separates us,” Scargall tells SFR. “Voters have to look at the commitment” from each candidate, he says.

“I love it,” Holmes says of the competiton. He tells SFR he’d like to see three more candidates rather than what he feels is a lesser-of-two-evils approach. “Who wants that? I don’t want someone who’s Evil 1 or Evil 2. I want someone who is really going to listen.”

District 3 candidate Roman Abeyta, a former county manager, tells SFR, “I think with the more candidates and the more ideas, the more we can find out about why people are running and what the needs are.”

But a crowded field can turn ugly, too.

Vigil Coppler says attempts by candidates to differentiate themselves can quickly get negative. “I’m concerned about it in this campaign in all races. … I’m concerned about it as far as the city of Santa Fe’s reputation.”

Abeyta’s District 3 opponent Jim Williamson recently disavowed the Santa Fe Power group after a pair of racist social media posts by the group’s leaders. The accountant and self-styled watchdog has been a fixture at council meetings, but he says campaigns that turn negative can quickly sap momentum: “It’s trying to get out of the weeds of that and go about focusing on the true issues.”

In the Zone Despite reforms, academic says SFPS inter-zone transfer process gives privileged families advantage

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

T

he end of summer can bring a mix of dread and hope to young hearts. Some kids in Santa Fe’s public schools also face the added anxiety of not knowing where they’ll ultimately attend school because they’re on the waitlist for the district’s inter-zone transfers.

At the old Walmart on Cerrillos, a mother named Amber shops with her daughter, an incoming kindergartner zoned for the Aspen Community Magnet School. Amber is trying to have her transferred to Nava Elementary.

Her daughter is number two on the waitlist for Nava, but she might not know whether she’s been accepted until the 20th day of the school year. “I didn’t know the process was that you enrolled them the year before,” she tells SFR. In her view, the district didn’t do enough to notify parents that the timeline for accepting school transfers begins in January of the previous school year, or that the student lottery starts before March 1.

Amber submitted her daughter’s application to transfer long after the close of the application window, meaning it was not considered for the student lottery and was instead put on a waitlist in the order it was received.

Another parent, Jessica Keelin, says she knew to submit her son’s application to transfer to Carlos Gilbert Elementa-

ry School last year because she’d already gone through the process with her older son.

“If I didn’t have him, I wouldn’t know it was coming. That could have been better,” Keelin says.

Some students on the waitlist get priority over others, including those zoned for schools rated “F” by the state, or with family attending or working at another school.

Moving the application window back to January was actually supposed to make it easier for families to get a head start on the enrollment process. The district made the change during research by a grad student who did a 10-month professional residency at SFPS during the 2015-2016 school year.

However, April Bo Wang, then a doctoral candidate at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, wrote in a 2016 academic report that moving the enrollment period up did not succeed in boosting the number of inter-zone transfers. The number of applications for student transfers has hovered around 2,000 the last three school years. Over half of the applications were denied last year. So far, for the new fall semester, which begins Aug. 16, there were 607 applications that had been approved and 719 on the waitlist as of Aug. 11, according to the district.

Although the theory behind open enrollment is to create an equal playing

Hundreds of students on waitlists to transfer schools will start the year with uncertainty.

field for parents to have their choice of high-quality schools, data gathered by Wang suggested that the process in SFPS gives more advantage to families who are wealthier, whiter, and English-speaking.

For example, only 35 percent of Carlos Gilbert Elementary students in the 20152016 school year were zoned for the school, which is on Griffin Street. Of those students who transfered in, 1 percent of students spoke English as a second language and 31 percent qualified for free or reduced lunch, bringing the school’s totals to 2 percent ESL and 36 percent low-income. In contrast, 94 percent of students attending Sweeney Elementary on Airport Road were zoned there. Fortynine percent of students at Sweeney are ESL and 63 percent qualified for free or reduced lunch.

In her report, Wang suggests two changes that could encourage a more equitable inter-zone transfer process: for the district to provide free bus transportation for all students to the school of their choice (rather than just their in-zone school, as is current policy), and free after-school programming at all schools, which could help struggling parents more easily send their kids to schools outside their zone.

Neither suggestion has been implemented. SFPS Superintendent Veronica

Garcia tells SFR the funds aren’t there.

“We’ve seen cuts in transportation. We’re not offering what I believe are even optimum services,” Garcia says.

SFPS is a plaintiff in a multi-party lawsuit against the state alleging that it is inadequately funding New Mexico’s schools.

Another way the inter-zone transfer process frustrates families is when parents decide to send their kids to their “home” school at the last moment. Those students receive precedent over waitlisted students.

“It’s a very dynamic and unpredictable process, and we don’t know which families are going to choose to go back to their home school right before the beginning of school,” says Garcia. “That creates uncertainty and difficulty for students and I completely empathize with them.”

That isn’t much comfort to parents who still don’t know where their kids will end up attending school this year. Amber, the parent shopping at Walmart, says about five of her friends with children in SFPS are experiencing a similar dilemma as her.

“They should communicate better with parents, because I’ve been telling my friends to start doing the transfer now because it takes a while,” she says.

PREDATOR POLITICS A new federal plan for Mexican wolf management meets states’ wants, but does it meet the wolves’ needs?

R

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

ain clouds roiled over Truth or Consequences as about 70 people filed into the Civic Center auditorium to watch US Fish and Wildlife Service staff scroll through a presentation on the recently released draft plan for Mexican gray wolf recovery. It’s been 20 years since the wolves were reintroduced to the wild, and 40 since they were added to the Endangered Species List.

The document introduced this summer is the first plan aimed at fully recovering the species.

At the July 20 meeting, four staffers from the federal agency faced an audience spotted with cowboy hats and green T-shirts declaring “Wolves without boundaries.” A professional moderator had been flown in from out of state to keep people on time, on task and following a code of conduct that allocated each attendee a single question and related follow-up. Rules banned signs along with any sort of audible response to other speakers.

The sheriff and state police attended—one would have thought to keep the peace as well, until the sheriff took the microphone to ask whether Sierra County’s commissioners could ban wolf releases in their county. The answer is “not really;” the Endangered Species Act compels recovery, and this is a core piece of their historic range. But whether wolves will be released in Sierra County is a matter for the county to take up with the state of New Mexico.

Under the proposed plan, the choice of when, how many, and under what circumstances wolves will be added to the wild population in New Mexico is left to the state—the same state that withdrew from the federally run program to recov12

er Mexican wolves in 2011 shortly after Gov. Susana Martinez took office, and that sued the federal government for releasing wolves.

The wild population desperately needs to grow now, not five years from now—according to both wildlife advocates and Fish and Wildlife Service officials. But five years from now is the first scheduled review of the program by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

By abdicating the service’s au “By authority to release these genetically important captive lobos to the wild, by relying primarily on recovery suc success for the species in Mexico as sufficient to achieve Endangered Species Act goals here, and by failing to employ the best available science in determining population abundance and geographic distribution goals, we argue that the plan fails to ensure the continued conservation and survival of the endangered Mexican wolf,” says Kelly Nokes, carnivore advocate for

SFREPORTER.COM

WildEarth Guardians.

Sherry Barrett, coordinator of the Mexican wolf recovery program for the Fish and Wildlife Service, insists that the agency will maintain oversight of the program, while following Endangered Species Act provisions that call for collaborating with states as much as possible.

Wildlife advocates argue that the plan is giving too much authority to states that have a historically hostile relationship with Mexican wolves, though that’s just one among many concerns.

“This long-overdue plan to guide recovery efforts falls woefully short of actually recovering wolves,” Nokes says. “To us, it reads more like a draft extinction plan that was dreamed up by the wolves’ most hostile opponents.”

Ask ranchers, though, and they contend it’s the wolf lovers the federal government is kowtowing to. Public feedback from ranchers and outfitters described finding calves and elk slaughtered by

wolves, among other frustrations with trying to graze cattle or hunt elk in a landscape shared with a large carnivore. They question why the federal government insists on continuing what appears to be a failing effort to recover this species.

“There’s no kill switch for this program,” says Tim Roberson, who works for a rancher with 200 head of cattle in the Gila National Forest, in wolf territory. “In every way, it’s a loss.”

That the plan seems to please no one, an Albuquerque Journal editorial recently pointed out, could be the sign of a compromise. Instead, what seems to have been compromised is any real chance at Mexican wolf recovery. The editorial posits that the proposal “contains some serious flaws that appear to place political expedience ahead of science.”

The plan sets a goal of an eight-year average population of 320 wolves in Arizona and New Mexico, and 170 in Mex-

and we’re unable to get releases done, recovery could take longer.”

By the mid-1920s, following decades of concentrated effort to shoot and poison the predators to make space for incoming settlers and ranchers, wolves were no longer considered a significant predator in the Southwest. The wolf recovery program began in 1998 with the release of 11 Mexican wolves into Arizona’s ApacheSitgreaves National Forest. New Mexican officials declined to participate in the program at that time, so Mexican wolves were not released in the state until 2000, when nine wolves were reintroduced to the Gila National Forest. It was the first time in 70 years New Mexico had a known resident pack.

The reintroduced populations were designated “experimental,” allowing wildlife managers flexibility in handling them—namely, that even though the an-

ico. Two populations provide a buffer against extinction, but those two aren’t connected, meaning wolves won’t be able to intermingle and swap genetics. That’s among the plan’s flaws listed by wildlife advocates. So, too, is the number—it’s seen as outrageously small, and the hard line at 380 in the US, at which any management actions to reduce the population can be undertaken, is unprecedented.

“There’s no other recovery plan that exists that puts a cap on the animals,” says Michael Dax with Defenders of Wildlife.

“It’s unique to this plan, and it’s purely political.”

I-40, an arbitrary, human-drawn line bisecting Arizona and New Mexico that has only loose ties to previous wolf range or existing suitable habitat, is used as the northern boundary for the species’ recovery in the draft.

This plan would guide recovery efforts for the decades to come— and it will certainly be decades. The Fish and Wildlife Service estimates it’ll take 25 to 35 years to see Mexican wolves come off the endangered species list, and an estimated price tag of $235 million.

“If threats continue,” Tracy Melbihess of the Fish and Wildlife Service said during the Truth or Consequences meeting, “and the population doesn’t grow

imals were endangered, they could be trapped and moved to captivity or shot for depredating livestock, or even leaving the boundaries of the recovery area, concentrated on the mountains in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico.

In addition to the 113 Mexican wolves in the US, at last count, there are 28 in Mexico, and another 270 in 50 facilities around the country. They’re primarily descended from a captive breeding program grown from just seven individuals. The wild population now is roughly as genetically similar as siblings, impairing their ability to reproduce and to fight disease.

So success hinges on seeing 22 reintroduced wolves survive to breeding age and add their genetics to the wild population, according to the draft recovery plan.

Although annual catch-and-collar operations for the population count include blood tests, there’s no criteria written in the plan that requires testing to see how well those genes have been mixing in. This is among the plan’s worrisome components, says Dax with Defenders. Because about one in five survive their first year in the wild, getting 22 likely means releasing more than 70 wolves. That’s as many as were released in the first five years of the US program, and almost double what Mexico has released since starting its program in 2011. This is a question of needing to deepen the gene pool, and quickly, so any single wolf will have a greater effect in a smaller population, Melbihess points out. As in, releases need to happen soon.

The initial plan, drafted in 1982, aimed for 100 wolves at a time when there was still a question of whether wolves could be recovered at all.

“This was not a recovery criteria, it was just a hedge against extinction,” Melbihess told meeting attendees. “Over time, we outgrew that recovery plan and have needed to revise it for a while.”

Efforts at a revision have stalled out multiple times. Most recently, a recovery team drafted a plan in 2012 that called for three interconnected population groups, each of roughly 250 members, for no fewer than 750 wolves total in a geographic area that included northern portions of New Mexico in the nearby Carson National Forest, the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado and the Grand Canyon region in southern Utah.

PREDATOR POLITICS

There are many visions for recovery, says Barrett, who oversees the program, and that was one. The service has since moved on to another.

“When we started back up again, the agency decided that we would do a different focus, working with the states and Mexico, the Forest Service and these independent scientists,” she tells SFR. Stakeholder meetings were held over a 14-month period with representatives from the Four Corners states. The effort started with the same modeling software used by the previous recovery team, and then began tweaking some of the variables, beginning with adopting I-40 as the northern boundary.

“There’s a lot of debate in the literature about where else wolves occurred … but really the core historic Mexican wolf population occurred pretty much in that area,” Barrett says.

Setting that boundary apparently halved the final population target—it became a question of not how many wolves were needed, but how many wolves could live in the designated habitat and have a 90 percent chance of persisting for 100 years. That goal needed to ally, as well, with a population count that would not negatively impact cattle or elk herds.

“That’s the number set to coexist on a working landscape,” says Barrett. “We’re trying to find that balance. … It’s a challenge.”

Pressed about the question of suitable habitat above I-40, Barrett tells SFR, “Obviously, it didn’t stop at Interstate 40, but that’s an easy line that can be used for demarcation and that’s what we used in our experimental population rule in 1998, and we continued that into the 2015 rule.”

South of that line is what’s been seen as socially acceptable.

“Social tolerance isn’t written into the Endangered Species Act,” counters Nokes of WildEarth Guardians. “The Fish and Wildlife Service has the duty to recover the species to the point that the act’s protections are no longer required.”

The agency has been hammered from all sides.

In 2015, governors from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah wrote to then-Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and then-US Fish and Wildlife Service

Director Dan Ashe, reminding them that “Mexican wolf recovery is an incredibly complex and contentious issue” and that “if recovery is to succeed, it will require the support and participation of affected states.” They criticized the service for appointing “non-neutral individuals” to the recovery workshops, and argued that considering population first, rather than geography, was a “scientifically flawed approach.”

“Recovery of the Mexican wolf cannot and will not be achieved if the Service does not recognize that the majority of Mexican wolf recovery must occur in Mexico,” the letter reads. “Our states oppose the expansion, release and occupancy of Mexican wolves north of I-40.”

The Utah Wildlife Board and state legislature preemptively passed legislation, once wolves come off the Endangered Species List in Utah, to allow ranchers to shoot them if they’re seen as a danger to livestock and to remove any wolves that attempt to establish a pack in the state.

BOB HAARMANS

in 2013 that echoed that those three areas, each home to swaths of public lands, were suitable. They carry not only sufficient elk and deer to support Mexican wolves, but have fewer cattle. Conflicts with ranchers have been an ongoing issue for Mexican wolf recovery. Gunshot wounds are the leading cause of death for the wolves, and a study in the Journal of Mammalogy this year suggests the problem of poaching has been significantly underestimated.

In Arizona and New Mexico, the proposal was met with outcry over the population. Colorado and Utah resisted the idea of seeing wolves back on their landscape. The recovery team was put on hold, and while never officially disbanded, also never reconvened.

SFREPORTER.COM

Increasing genetic diversity for wolf offspring is key to recovering the species.

In Colorado as well, the legislature has passed a resolution to oppose releasing any wolves in the state—in 1982, 1989 and again in 2016, citing concerns for the big game population and the recreation economy it supports and the livestock ranching industry.

Yet stakeholders from these states guided recovery. Why would Colorado and Utah stay involved if the historic range doesn’t include those states? You’ll have to ask them, Barrett says.

Dax argues that it seems those states stayed involved largely to oppose the idea that the Mexican wolf recovery plan reach into their states.

Instead, everyone points at Mexico.

The plan must “headline a Mexico-centric approach rather than the translocation of the subspecies out of its historical range into new, previously uninhabited ranges of northern Arizona/New Mexico and southern Utah/Colorado,” the letter continues. Even the workshops themselves, the letter argues, should be held in Mexico.

The effort to recover Mexican gray wolves has included both Mexican and US biologists since the US Fish and Wildlife Service appointed a Mexican Wolf Recovery Team in 1979. Critics, including Defenders of Wildlife, have pointed out that the US government has no jurisdiction there, so if that country’s politics change, there’s no mandating that they continue participating in this program. Additionally, because the program there relies on private landowners’ participation, one individual could sway its success.

The same Conservation Biology study that suggested Mexican wolves would be best supported by habitat in northern Arizona and southern Utah and Colorado found that while “the majority of the subspecies’ historic range occurred in Mexico … high human-associated mortality risk and low prey density within potential core areas in Mexico suggests that these areas are unlikely to support populations of over 100 individuals.” Again, the plan

calls for 170 wolves in Mexico.

Much of Mexico’s limited funding for endangered species recovery is committed to the vaquita porpoise, thought to have dwindled down to less than 30 still in the Gulf of Mexico. At an April Arizona Game and Fish Department meeting, there was talk that the states of New Mexico and Arizona would need to commit to sending Mexico money to cover the wolf plan.

Barrett has repeatedly stated the US Fish and Wildlife Service is not abdicating its responsibility to Mexican wolves, either by partnering with Mexico or by granting so much authority to states.

“Fish and Wildlife Service will continue to be leading recovery of Mexican wolves,” Barrett said at the Albuquerque meeting. “We’ll be collaborating with state partners on releases. We work now with Arizona on releases, and hope to see New Mexico come back in.”

New Mexico withdrew from US Fish and Wildlife Service’s recovery efforts in 2011, and has subsequently declined to sign off on permits for Mexican wolf releases as well as sued the Fish and Wildlife Service for moving forward with those releases anyway. The service cited a genetic emergency for releasing wolves now. The state argues it didn’t want to participate in the program without knowing its end goals.

At a September House Committee on Natural Resources subcommittee meeting on federal management of Mexican wolves, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Director Alexa Sandoval testified: “While no single factor is to blame for the lack of success recovering the Mexican wolf, one factor looms larger than others: the service’s failure to cooperate with the states.”

That failure had resulted in a “cloud of uncertainty” around the quest to conserve Mexican wolves, she said. She criticized the government for running a 40year program, at a $25 million cost, that had yet to move Mexican wolves from the Endangered Species List.

This was at least a year into the 14 months of meetings the service held with states to draft this recovery plan. It’s unclear whether Sandoval was disregarding that effort in her comments, or still didn’t see the service as a willing collaborator despite that effort. The answer won’t likely come to light until an Aug. 24 game commission meeting, when the commission is set to consider the service’s plan.

The commission allocated a total of 30 minutes for public comment, though the issue has previously seen meetings packed to overflowing and a guard at the door turning interested parties away. The agenda includes a possible vote.

“I’m angry and dumbfounded,” said wolf advocate Brenda McKenna during the Albuquerque meeting on the plan.

“I’ve been to many New Mexico Game and Fish meetings and … I simply don’t have any confidence at all they can be a steward of the Mexican wolf.”

If it’s any hint of what’s about to happen, the looming consideration of the plan by the game commission comes under the direction of Paul Kienzle. He’s chair of the board and attended the service’s presentation of the plan in Albuquerque in an unofficial capacity, calling the new proposal “a great step forward.”

In response to requests for an interview about the document that it has had in hand for more than a month, Dan Williams, assistant chief of information for the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, emailed the following statement: “The department feels it would be inappropriate to comment about the Mexican wolf draft recovery plan until we have had a chance to thoroughly review it, which most likely will be around the end of August.”

The state has yet to drop its lawsuit against the federal government for

moving forward with releases without state-approved permits.

“The idea that they’re going to turn around and be good partners is a great leap of faith,” says Dax, with Defenders of Wildlife.

“We’re extremely concerned that the service is giving such a vital facet of authority over to two states that have been so demonstrably hostile to allowing Mexican wolf recovery efforts to occur within their borders,” says Nokes, with WildEarth Guardians.

She points to the active litigation against the service.

“Arizona can’t really be trusted either—they filed an amicus brief, a friend of the court brief, in that same case,” she adds. “The Endangered Species Act requires the federal government to cooperate with the states to some extent, but federal powers still pre-empt that state authority. And the federal entity, the Fish and Wildlife Service, needs to live up to the mandate of the law. It needs to carry out its responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act, regardless of what the states think is best.”

Even if New Mexico does get on board, says Michael Robinson with the Center

for Biological Diversity—a party along with Defenders of Wildlife in the lawsuit that produced a court order with a November deadline for finalizing this recovery plan—“there’s so much about this plan that’s worrisome. … The mess caused by mismanagement that’s led to inbreeding—really, to pull out of that should not be subject to whatever the latest political whims are going to be,” he says. He suggests instead that wolf releases be pre-scheduled and the genetic diversity in the gene pool directly monitored, so it’s ensured that recovery moves ahead regardless of who is governor.

“They leave the Mexican wolf’s survival up to the winds of politics,” he says, “and that’s not prudent.”

The public comment period is open until Tuesday Aug. 29, and the plan is due to be finalized by Nov. 30. To comment, visit regulations.gov and search code FWS-R2-ES-2017-0036.

The Game Commission meeting to consider the Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan begins at 9 am Thursday Aug. 24 at the Marriott Pyramid North (5151 San Francisco Road NE, Albuquerque, 505-821-3333).

Happier Campers

R

Website expands camping opportunities in New Mexico, though some listings come buyer-beware

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

oslyn Weiss, a transplant from Boulder who is building a farmstead in Las Trampas, created a Hipcamp profile (hipcamp.com) the day her mother told her about it in March.

“We are just getting settled here with the intention of doing sustainable food production on the land, and part of our financial model in kind of bootstrapping this operation is offering stays on the farm,” she says. “It’s just part of our dream of making this land happen.”

So far, she’s had just one “hipcamper,” but sees lots of potential, and recently purchased a circus-esque canvas tent with plans to add “glamping.”

It’s an example of Hipcamp doing what it does best: connecting private landowners with would-be campers looking for somewhere unique to pitch a tent. Website founder and CEO Alyssa Ravasio has seen the endeavor supporting other sustainable farming operations, and even bridging the urban-rural divide. It’s big growth from an idea that started around a failure to plan, after Ravasio once found herself short-changed out of a beach camping experience because she did not book a campsite far enough in advance.

The website began in California four years ago as a resource guide for campsite information so people could be smart about picking a site and as a way of searching for nearby available sites if a chosen campground was booked. The private landowners component came two years ago. They’re targeting New Mexico for growth, identifying landowners who might be a good fit, reaching out, and walking them through a process that includes creating a listing, sending over a professional photographer and signing up for insurance. Already, local offerings include a cabin on the Pecos River and space for trailers or tents on 7.5 acres along the San Antonio River in the Jemez Mountains.

NM The Pond House The Pond House New Mexico

“The number one reason why people love going on Hipcamp isn’t just because there’s nowhere else to go,” Ravasio says.

“It’s a really unique experience. It’s a chance to go somewhere that is generally going to be really private. You’re going to have a situation where you have 100 acres all to yourself.” It’s a chance to book a place with friends or family and not worry about keeping the neighbors up at night.

While the private land listings look promising, there are some, shall we say, gaps in the resource guide when it comes to camping on nearby public lands. The listing for the Big Tesuque Campground— the grassy hillside in the aspens along the

road to Ski Santa Fe—appears with a photo of the pink sandstone of the Gilman Tunnels. Big T is in the eastern half of the Santa Fe National Forest, in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains; Gilman Tunnels in the west, in the Jemez. The Aspen Basin Campground in the ski area parking lot gets treated to a scenic photo of an alpine lake that would be visible only after hiking miles up the ski hill.

“If the community hasn’t uploaded a photo yet for the campground, we just default to a photo from the national forest, so it’s definitely not ideal,” Ravasio says.

“In areas where we’ve been around for a bit longer, we’ve seen really great commu-

nity involvement.”

Written descriptions were intended to provide details to help fill in those gaps.

But again, at Aspen Basin Campground, the area is described as “relatively undeveloped”—which is true, just as long as you’re facing away from the ski lodge. The writer continues, “The entire area is ultra scenic, so it can get popular during the summer an fall aspen viewing seasons.”

It is, and it does, but would the truly uninitiated show up for an “undeveloped” experience and be turned off by so much asphalt?

Activities should also be double-checked. The writer recommends the hiking, biking, and camping near the Panchuela Campground in the Pecos Wilderness, but biking on trails would violate federal law banning bikes there.

Hipcamp lists sites in the Santa Fe National Forest as walk-ups, but the federally run recreation.gov allows booking some of them in advance. That website is working on an overhaul now to add one of the components from Hipcamp: browsing by a real-time feed of available sites. In addition to aggregating campsites and cabins available through all federal land agencies, that data has been released to other websites developers for reuse.

“We just feel that being able to provide this data allows for creativity and innovation—like a Hipcamp—to just simply expand the ways in which people can access this information,” Smith says. “We want to meet people where they are, if it’s in a website or another social network, so that they can access this information from wherever they are.”

Right now, for people in Santa Fe, Ravasio says, connecting with sites on private land is probably the more useful component of hipcamp.com. Or, if you’re still searching out somewhere to catch the Aug. 21 solar eclipse, there’s a one-click link for last-minute bookings in the path of the totality.

LECTURE WED/16

If you haven’t been by the CCA for the current show from blacksmith/artist Tom Joyce, Everything at Hand, you’re really missing out.

Joyce’s massive works are at once heavy and physically daunting, yet dreamlike—reminiscent, in a way, of space—think circular patterns and geometry among the textured metal pieces, video material and drawing. Joyce himself discusses his works and process during Conversations at Hand, an artist-led lecture aimed at filling out our understanding of the exhibit. (Alex De Vore) Conversations at Hand: Tom Joyce: 6 pm Wednesday Aug. 16. Free. Center for Contemporary Arts, 1050 Old Pecos Trail, 982-1338.

Turns out that was Dylan Montayne, a former Santa Fean (also a St. Mike’s and Warehouse 21 alum) who now lives in Denver and who totally blew those girls’ minds with his slick flow. Since then, it’s been a whirl of wind for young Montayne, with internet fame and musical opportunities coming out of the effing yin-yang. Thus, he struts his stuff from his debut album Déjà Vu alongside local rappists from the Outstanding Citizens Collective like SFR fave Benzo III.

MUSIC MON/21 EMPTY THE CHAMBER Once again, the annual Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival wowed crowds, converted noobs and broke ground on some weird stuff (that six-hour Flux Quartet performance, anyone?). But as is true with basically everything anyone likes, it must come to an end. For the season’s swan song, the festival goes with some biggies—namely, Haydn, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich, courtesy of the Dover Quartet. If classical music’s your game, you’ll want to be at the Lensic, and remember that tickets start at just $10. So even if you think you can’t go, you probably can.

Markets and Music and Food, Oh My! Clear your schedule, the Santa Fe Indian Market is here It’s that time of year again: Indian Market has come to town, bringing the best Indigenous arts and programming to the city for five days of creativity and fun.

The market, established by the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts 96 years ago, draws together the best Native artists from around the United States to showcase paintings, pottery, jewelry, clothing and more—most of which are for sale.

Market week kicked off with the Native Cinema Showcase at the New Mexico History Museum, starting Aug. 15.

The museum will continue to offer free screenings of films made by and about Native people and issues throughout the rest of the week (but seating is on a first-come, first-served basis). For those with kids, the Saturday film schedule is family-friendly and wraps up with a free screening of Moana at the Railyard Park.

If you’re looking for something a little more lively, catch My Soul Remainder on Thursday at 6 pm. The performance piece embraces the spirit of collaboration with original choreography, music and costumes by Native people of different tribes. Then, stick around for the opening reception of IM:EDGE, a new exhibit at the Convention Center that

puts contemporary Native art in the spotlight. Tickets are limited, so if you want to go, get on it ASAP. And of course, the crown jewel of the week is the Indian Market itself. Nearly 900 (yes, you read that right) Native artists take to the Plaza and surrounding streets for two days of art, camaraderie, food and general organized chaos. Aside from buying handcrafted goods, they’ve got music, fashion shows, book signings and more. The best part? The entire thing is free to the public.

That’s only a sampling of SWAIA’s programming for the market. Be sure to check out their other events and those around the city too. Local galleries and performance venues join the festivities as well. Honestly, there’s so much going on that it would be nearly impossible to miss out on the fun. Check our calendar (page 21), and we’re always updating our online cal (sfreporter.com/cal).

So grab your best walking shoes and hit the town. You’ve got a lot to see.

Vocalizations 7th Wave Singers take song to the masses

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

I

accidentally park in front of the dispensary, rather than around back, and have to move my car. It’s here, tucked behind the Fruit of the Earth Organics cannabis dispensary and CBD outlet on Early Street, that lies what might just be one of Santa Fe’s best-kept, albeit new, secrets—Paradiso.

Quietly over the past two years, Fruit of the Earth’s founder and owner Lyra Barren has transformed the warehouse-like space into one of the most beautiful and enticing community venues in all of Santa Fe: a rich wood dance floor, a balcony, a piano and assorted instruments sitting on a stage; workshops and events have been hosted here fairly regularly of late, but there’s a catch: It’s not currently open to the public. Dispensary and CBD patients may attend events for free, everyone else must be invited and sometimes pay a fee.

According to Barren, Paradiso is named after the first cannabis club in Amsterdam, and its future use as a public space depends on the winds of legalization. For now, however, it’s still semi-functional on a private basis. Eclectic indie act Evarusnik recently debuted new songs here, and we can reportedly expect similar activities in the near future.

For now, though, Paradiso is most often home to the company 7th Wave Music and its 7th Wave Singers, a project of Hidden Whale’s Angela Gabriel and The Sticky’s Amy Elizah Lindquist, dedicated to empowerment through singing and vocalization. “The shortest version is to say we heal ourselves, our community and our

Local singers embrace community through music at the weekly meeting of the 7th Wave Singers.

world through singing,” Gabriel explains.

Every Thursday, the group meets at Paradiso; a rag-tag blend of pros like Lindquist and Gabriel (Gabriel’s husband Jim Goulden of The Gluey Brothers fame pops by from time to time as well), plus community members of all stripes, from everyday people to amateur actors and musicians.

During a recent evening session, Lindquist and Gabriel scurry about the club prior to the singing circle’s arrival, preparing for their pupils. They’ve been at this roughly three years. Though both come from fairly similar music teaching backgrounds, Lindquist is more of a vocalist, and Gabriel a percussionist and vocalist.

“We jut had this similar feeling that we wanted to ignite musicality in everybody,” Lindquist says. “There’s a lot of trauma and shame around it—like, if you don’t open your mouth and sound amazing, you’re not a singer. Not so!”

But who among us doesn’t sing in the shower or create harmonies to songs we like while driving? For Gabriel, it’s a simple matter of what we feel is socially acceptable. “A lot of people feel they need permission to sing,” she says. “This is for people who want to sing, but don’t want the pressure of, ‘Do I sound good?’”

SFREPORTER.COM

First off, this means a 7th Wave Singers session is judgment-free. Both teachers say there aren’t performances nor are there solos; it’s a group exercise meant to be fun. They’ve gathered in private homes and at protests like the Women’s March in January; they offer corporate team bonding sessions as well. As we chat, various participants begin to arrive.

“There’s a core of people who’ve been with us for a long time,” Lindquist points out as she greets each one by name. “We set it up like a fun game,” Gabriel adds, “but it’s authentic music and expression.”

A longtime attendee named Teresa Tunick, who says she’s been coming since the start, sits with us. “A friend of mine told me about them, and I just thought I’d respond to it and get some juices going,” she says. “I’ve always sang very loudly in the car.”

With a drop-in fee of just $15 for anyone not already a patient at the dispensary, these impromptu “lessons” are also affordable. The room begins to fill out with men and women ready to sing. “When a group of people get together to sing, it creates a sense of community,” Tunick continues. “Our larger culture has forgotten the value of that sense of community.”

With everyone arrived, Lindquist and Gabriel kick things off with a vocal exercise they’ve designed to get people warmed up: a simple song written by Gabriel espousing the value of singing and music. It’s smiles all around and everyone is game for the silly nature of warmups.

These participants know they are free to make mistakes here, and nobody has designs on Carnegie Hall. Rather, they’ve sought closeness and exchange through music, a sensible choice considering it’s about the only thing everyone on Earth has in common. In a single session they’ll touch on rounds, folk songs, spiritual and gospel numbers and chanting.

“It’s my job to give you all the crayons in a coloring box,” Lindquist says of her aspirations. “We want them to let go of their idea about what they can or can’t do.”

The voices echo through the beautiful space and spill out into the parking lot as I leave. It sounds happy inside.

Dead or Alive Art initiative uses plant power to restore drylands

BY LIZ BRINDLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m @lizbrindley_artwork

A

lternative facts say environmental degradation isn’t real. Alternative art initiative desert ArtLAB says it is—and there’s something real we can do about it.

April Bojorquez and Matt Garcia created desert ArtLAB, a public art project exploring the connections between ecology, technology and community, in 2010 in response to a sustainability initiative they attended as graduate students at Arizona State University. At first, the pair believed the new initiative sounded promising, but quickly realized Native voices were left out of the conversation.

Garcia describes speakers who traveled to Arizona from England and Italy to lecture about arid, low-rain regions known as drylands and “to tell us how to live our lives.” Throughout these presentations, Garcia thought, “You know, we actually know a lot about the desert. So [April and I] decided to have an ecologically centered Indigenous space focused on how we live in our changing environment.”

This space took shape through a mobile eco-studio, built in 2012, that travels to urban dryland environments to teach about Native plant and food traditions through workshops including performances and cooking lessons.

“The ecological practice is tied to our cultural and food practice,” Bojorquez explains. “It is our focus to explore Indigenous complex systems that include cultural systems.”

In 2016, the artists received a grant from New York nonprofit Creative Capital that planted the seed for their latest project, Ecologies of Resistance, on view at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts. The installation records the transformation of a healthy-turned-neglected plot of land in Pueblo, Colorado (where Garcia grew up), which desert ArtLAB purchased last summer.

Garcia’s deep-rooted connection to the region is clear. “We’re staying. We’re not going anywhere,” he says resolutely. “This is our home. So how do we reconnect with where we are and make it better?”

The connection is documented in the MoCNA gallery through a series of artifacts: a crushed Coke can, an empty whis-

key bottle and other littered memories of disregard for the Earth are scattered amidst framed amaranth and prints that command viewers to plant, grow, eat, love and, ultimately, decolonize. And while “decolonization” may be an important concept, even a buzzword in some communities, “it was important to articulate what the practice of decolonization actually is,” Bojorquez says. “We aim to share that and provide a constructive example of what the action looks like.”

The action looks like desert ArtLAB revitalizing the plot with native plants to create a healthy and edible landscape.

Due to the neglected nature of the space, the artists first had to use a jackhammer to get into the ground and plant cholla cacti, which act as a natural tiller and survive intense living conditions. “Amaranth, cholla—these plants take so little,” Garcia shares with matter-of-fact exuberance. “They survive the most hostile environments and give so much back.”

The artist-ecologists do the same, using the initiative to challenge urban spaces that have disregarded dryland resources and Indigenous histories with opportunities for reciprocity and engagement. In the case of Ecologies, the artists employ college students in the Pueblo community to help restore the land.

Even with this support, the beginning of the project was met with waves of doubt.

“The community would come around and tell us, ‘You’ll have to get soil; nothing is

going to grow; the land is dead,’” Garcia explains.

But the artists persisted. Rather than adding soil, they started with the “dead” land, in recognition that the road to recovery takes an equal amount of time as the road to destruction.

“This is a time-based project,” Garcia tells SFR, “and that time frame is generations. It’s going to take a long time to realistically regrow and promote dryland beauty—it took a long time to get where it is now, and it is going to take a long time to grow it back.”

Now, a year into the project, Bojorquez shares that the growth has begun. The land is coming to life. Those who doubted now look on in amazement. The Ecologies of Resistance story unfolds with grace and rigid resilience, much like a cactus in bloom.

With amaranth and cholla as guides, desert ArtLAB’s artfully ecological approach withstands winds of change and threatening environments to continually grow into irrepressible beauty.

about two guys performing fellatio on another man at the same time. I found it to be such a turn-on and even fantasized I was doing it to you. Hope that doesn’t offend you.

-Loving Life Um, thanks for sharing?

I’ve been wondering: Since there are lesbians out there who occasionally crave cock, does the reverse also happen? Are there gay men who occassionally crave pussy?

-This Possible?

There are gay men who watch football—hell, I have it on good authority that some gay men play football, TP. So anything is possible. (Also, there are lots of lesbian-identified bisexual women out there, a smaller number of gay-identified bisexual men, and a tiny handful of bisexual-identified football fans.)

I’ve been seeing a lot of articles in the media about men “dropping out of the dating-and-marriage game,” and the conclusions always point to porn as the culprit. This seems like a simplistic explanation. Do you have an opinion on the effect of porn on men?

-Pondering Porn I dropped out of the forming-opinions-aboutporn game—far too busy consuming porn these days, PP. It’s the only way to keep myself sane here in Trumpsylvania.

I’m a 26-year-old woman. I started dating a fantastic guy a month ago, blah blah blah, we’ve already talked about marriage. The problem is that his dick isn’t up to par sizewise or staying-hard-wise. He was aware of this before I came along, and it made him an enthusiastic and skilled oral performer to make up for it. So for now everything’s great, plenty of orgasms, and we’re lovey-dovey.

But eventually I’ll need that filled-up feeling and I’ll have to ask for some dildo/extender/ strap-on action. The question is when to ask.

He’s a secure guy, and we’ve both been honest about our flaws. If I wait too long to ask, it might make him think I’ve been faking the whole time. And if I ask too soon, I could scare him off or make his performance anxiety worse! How do I know when the right time is?

-Half Full If you were talking about marriage after a month, HF, odds are good this relationship is doomed anyway. So go ahead and ask for dildo/extender/strap-on action now. Don’t say, “Circling back to your subpar dick, darling, I’m gonna need some compensatory dildo action soon.” Instead say, “I’m into penetration toys, and I’m looking forward to getting into them with you—getting them into me, getting them into you. Anything you want to put on the menu, darling?”

Two friends can hook up with a girl or two girls from a bar and have a threesome or a foursome. But can two brothers—with opposite sexual preferences—hook up with a girl and a guy from a bar? Would this be considered wrong? No touching between siblings would occur.

-Basic Bros It would be considered wrong by some—but those people aren’t you, your brother, or the girl and guy you hope to pick up together. Personally, BB, I can barely get an erection if one of my siblings is in the same zip code; I can’t imagine getting one with a sibling in the same room. But if you’re comfortable doing opposite-sexual-preferencey things in close proximity to your brother, go for it.

I’m having an extremely difficult time getting intimate with my boyfriend of four years.

I’m in recovery for an eating disorder, and part of my treatment is Prozac. It’s working great and helping me make healthier choices.

However, the Prozac is severely affecting my sex drive. I have little to no desire to have sex.

And when we do have sex, I rarely orgasm.

This is frustrating and, frankly, harmful to my recovery process. I’m already dealing with my shitty eating disorder telling me that I’m fat, ugly, and not good enough for anyone, anything, or even a decent meal. Now it’s taking sex away from me, too? I also feel terrible for my boyfriend, who is endlessly patient and understanding but wants to have sex. I’ve suggested opening up the relationship for his sake, but he doesn’t want to do that. I feel guilty and sad and frustrated. Any thoughts?

-Prozac Lover/Healer If the benefits of Prozac (helping you make better choices and aiding your recovery process) are canceled out by the side effects (leaving you so sexually frustrated, it’s harming your recovery process), PLH, you should talk to your doctor about other options— other drugs you could try or a lower dose of Prozac. If you doctor dismisses your concerns about the sexual side effects of the drug they’ve got you on, get a new doctor.

I have only one concern about Donald Trump getting impeached: Do we get Mike Pence?

Is he not just as bad? Or worse? On a more personal note: I don’t think I’ve gotten a good night’s sleep since Trump got elected.

I wake up every morning next to an avid, Fox News–watching Trump supporter. I’m married long-term (35 years!) to a man who pulled a political one-eighty. This is about to make me crazy. Really. I’m not kidding.

Do you have any suggestions for me? I don’t want to DTMFA. Although after a most nauseating discussion over dinner, I did actually give it some thought.

-Liberal Grandma Mike Pence, as awful as he is, oscillates within a predictable band of Republican awfulness.

The reason no one is getting any sleep these days—not even folks who don’t wake up next to Trump supporters—is because no one can predict what Trump will do next. Not even Trump. That’s what makes his presidency such an existential nightmare.

As for your husband, LG, your choices are binary and rather stark: Either you divorce his ass and spare yourself the grief of listening to his bullshit, or you stay put, learn to tune out his bullshit, and cancel out his vote in 2018 and 2020.

What’s the best dating site for a slightly cynical, tattooed, fortysomething woman looking for a guy?

-Tattooed Lady It depends on the kind of guy you want. Closet case? ChristianMingle. Fuck boy? Tinder.

Trump voter? Farmers Only. Compulsive masturbator? Craigslist. Unfuckable loser who is now and will always be a socially maladapted virgin? Return of Kings.

I am a bisexual man and recently divorced my wife of 30 years. I am currently seeing a very beautiful lady. I satisfy my bisexual desires by going to sex clubs and I always practice safe.

I don’t have an issue, I just wanted to tell you I remember one time when you had a column

T I C K E TS : S H A K E S P E A R E I N T H E G A R D E N .CO M COURTESY DOUGLAS MILES

Arizona-based Apache artist Douglas Miles is probably known to many Santa Feans interested in contemporary Native art—he’s shown in and around our fair city since his major solo debut at the Museum of Contemporary Native Art in 2004. He’s been back to town a few times since, but with his upcoming appearance alongside fellow Native artist Jason Garcia at the Poeh Cultural Center (6 pm Thursday Aug. 17. Free. 78 Cities of Gold Road, Pojoaque, 455-5041), he uses skateboards, film, paintings and more for one badass explosion of art. (Alex De Vore) People expect a lot from Native artists. Does that make it hard to be “contemporary?”

Yes and no. It really depends on what market, what region, what city you’re in. If I take my paintings— which have a lot of street-isms and techniques, for lack of a better term—to Santa Fe, people will say, ‘Oh, that’s nice.’ but if I take them to Chicago or New York or San Francisco, they don’t think twice about it. They just say, ‘Oh, that’s dope. Where you from?’

I’ve heard this work was inspired by time you spent in San Francisco. Is that true?

I was awarded a fellowship at the de Young museum in San Francisco, so I lived and worked there for two months. You know, my work will go from one market to another, one city to another, and wherever I am, I feel like that city or town finds its way into the work.

And you don’t really tend to stick to one style or medium, right?

It used to be when I’d show, it got to a point where people would come and be like, ‘You’re the skateboard guy!’ And I started to feel like skateboards turned me into a gimmick. I didn’t want to keep rehashing skateboards. ... I do murals, paintings, I do photographs—many you can see on my Instagram, @dmiles1_apache. I work in found art; I was never trying to be cool or trendy. I was trying to do something that I thought was cool, that my son would like.

Indian Market Fashion Roundup STO RY BY M A R I A EG O L F - RO M E RO I L L U S T R AT I O N S B Y T H E A M I L I N A I R É

L

ate summer in Santa Fe is lovely. The high desert transforms to its greenest state, lavender bushes thrive and wildflowers dot the aspen forests. The days are warm and the evening magenta skies sparkle with monsoon lightning. But most outof-towners visit during this mid-August week for a different reason: to attend Indian Market.

The 94th annual market from the folks at the Southwest Association for Indian Arts brings nearly 900 contemporary Native American artists and hundreds of thousands of attendees to the Santa Fe Plaza. Over the years, other art markets have cropped up around the same time as well; a plethora of galleries hold openings featuring Native artists and pop-ups take over spaces around town. It’s a bonanza of creativity and there’s no exception in the case of fashion. Whether you have a thing for hand-painted denim or are addicted to couture, there is something stylish to drool over.

At 9 am Thursday Aug. 17, We Are the Seeds opens for the first time in the Railyard. The juried market features works by over 70 Native artists, and Loren (Acoma) and Valentina (Diné) Aragon bring high fashion to the premiere market with their brand ACONAV. Expect silky gowns featuring earthy geometric patterns and others with graphic printed designs.

The market continues until 5 pm Thursday, as well as 9 am-5 pm Friday and 9 am-4 pm Saturday; get a full schedule of events at wearetheseedsart.com.

On Friday Aug. 18, see a special presentation of jewelry by renowned turquoise collector and advisor Yasutomo Kodera at Shiprock Santa Fe (53 Old Santa Fe Trail, 982-8478) from 2-4 pm. In addition to showing pieces from his Sky Blue Hawk collection, the expert is scheduled to help with stone identification. Peruse big bracelets, modern squash blossom necklaces and consult Kodera about the origins of grandma’s ring, all at the same event.

Kodera brings big modern turquoise designs to add to the already stunning display of jewelry at Shiprock Santa Fe.

Spend Friday evening surrounded by hand-painted silk jackets and handmade leather bags at the group exhibit Native Voices at Singular Couture (5 pm. Free. Plaza Galeria, 66 E San Francisco St., 415-2599742), the shop and studio of artist Sarah Nolan. Lorne Kris Honyumptewa (Hopi/Picuris), David Naranjo (Santa Clara) and Anthony Gchachu (Zuni) present outerwear featuring celestial themes or the Zuni Sun Maiden. Maya Stewart, a Chickasaw, Creek and Choctaw leatherworker who attended the London College of Fashion, brings her handbags to this exhibit. I’m lusting after her silver shoulder bag with fringe and a simple arrow pressed into its metallic leather. Metal is going to be everywhere this fall, and this piece is the perfect way to add a little shine to your outfit.

Saturday Aug. 19 is the first day of SWAIA’s Indian Market, with booths opening on the Santa Fe Plaza bright and early at 7 am.

You’ll see silver, gold, cerulean and crimson iterations of kachinas, bracelets, blankets and tiny pots. But for fellow fashion-lovers, the biggest spectacle comes at 3 pm when the Indian Market Haute Couture Fashion show takes place for the fourth time ever, but for the first time in the Santa Fe Community Convention Center (201 W Marcy St., 955-6200). Seated tickets are sold out, so arrive early to nab your standing-room spot and ogle custom designs by Native designers

including Orlando Dugi (Diné), former Project Runway contestant Patricia Michaels (Taos), Violet Ahmie (Laguna) and others.

Later on Saturday evening, a fashion event at the new Zohi Gallery (8 pm.

Free. 130 Lincoln Ave., 557-6627) keeps the catwalk concept going as models don designs by Diné designer Lehi ThunderVoice Eagle, Crow/Cheyenne creator Bethany Yellowtail, and—of course— many more. I am obsessed with B.Yellowtail (Yellowtail’s brand and collective) and her bellbottom floral leggings (which, by the way, are made in occupied Tongva territory—aka Los Angeles).

Finally, stop by the unusu-

Sneak the metallic trend into your fall wardrobe with a fringe bag by designer Maya Stewart.

ally located Felicia Gabaldon Pop-Up at Oculus | Botwin Eye Group (7 pm.

Free. 125 W Water St., 988-4442) and see hand-painted denim jackets, vests, T-shirts, stickers and buttons from the Native artist (she’s from Santa Fe, but is currently based in Oakland, California).

Her alternately sassy, ethereal and inspiring works are perfect for the wall or your body, and you’ll want to hang out in your Gabaldon wear for the rest of the weekend. Get a peek at what to expect at feliciagabaldon.com.

Happy marketing, fashion-seekers.

Even if you’re a total homebody, brave the crowds. This week of beauty is worth it.

Now with dinner

BY MICHAEL J WILSON t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

n many cities, coffee shops tend to stick to the liquid realm, often venturing only as far as bagels, cookies and muffins. Caffeine peddlers here, however, have also been known to sell a variety of foods, from sandwiches to pie, and the trend in Santa Fe has moved ever closer to full-service restaurant in the last few years.

Iconik Coffee Roasters (1600 Lena St., 428-0996) is the latest café to head in this direction, quietly adding later hours and a dinner menu. The coffee roasters have always offered decent food: a nice mix of items from breakfast burritos to grilled cheese. But over the last year, they added foods to the menu with a pan-Asian flair as falafel and a Thai salad joined the more classic items.

The newly implemented full dinner menu, developed over the last few months by chef Mario Rascon, presses fully in this direction—lamb, Korean galbi steak, pani-puri (a fried puff pastry often consisting of mashed potatoes and tamarind) and ramen are now on their “Eat More” tapas and mains menu, alongside lamb sliders, salmon tacos, a quinoa sweet potato bowl and more.

The new menu starts around 12:30 pm

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: • The galbi steak bowl looked to be just the right amount to fill oneself up.

• The meat had a nice sear.

Brown rice, carrots, red peppers and perfectly cooked hunks of rib beef make up this simple rice bowl.

The whole thing was covered in a nice, sweetly thick soybased sauce which made it rich and filling and I could picture myself eating it on a cold day by

and is available until they close at 8 pm; most items run under $10.

To say I am skeptical of coffee shops trying to be full restaurants is putting it mildly. Being able to serve drinks hardly assures the ability to make the transition to functioning restaurant. And to be honest, I’ve never really been an Iconik fan. I find the whole aesthetic to be a bit on the overly “cool” side. It’s rarely anything but packed to the rafters, and parking on Lena Street is garbage. The food and drinks have always been fine enough, though, so off I went to try it out.

The new hours are still a bit unknown to Santa Feans, so the room was mostly empty, which was wonderful. I took the suggestion of the counter person and tried out the Korean galbi steak bowl ($10.50). I also got an iced latte. What might end up being the best part of their dinner menu, though, is that Iconik is now the latest-open coffee shop in town.

I found a seat by the window and read a bit as I waited for my meal. The food came quick and was plated simply but well.

FOOD

Galbi steak bowl—like a rib party in your mouth from the fine folks at Iconik Coffee Roasters.

a fire. Galbi is a Korean catch-all term to describe rib meat, and Iconik is aiming for a sort of heightened street food vibe that both does and does not make sense with a coffee shop in Santa Fe. It’s simple, easy to prepare and is comforting.

The server suggested I come again to try the pani-puri ($5.50), and I decided that it made sense to visit a second time before judging the new menu. Two days later I returned for a late lunch. This time, I had a difficult go of finding a seat and the line stretched to the door. I sighed and waited for my pani-puri.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: • It was a bit sloppy-looking, kind of tossed together.

• The portion definitely looked like an appetizer/tapas serving.

• There was a mystery red sauce on the plate.

Pani-puri is a simple street food from

the Indian sub-continent. Iconik’s is a fried semolina shell stuffed with potato, chickpeas and onion. Usually light on spice, they come with two dipping sauces. The shells were crisp and light, the filling mild if a bit bland. I have this problem with chickpeas. They don’t really excite the palate much. The mystery sauce, which I was told is made from tamarind, literally tasted like nothing. The green sauce was cilantro and mint-based and added the right amount of bite to the dish, but overall the pani-puri wound up forgettable.

I’ve always liked Iconik’s bagels and grilled cheese sandwiches, so I am hopeful that the menu will continue to evolve and improve.

Overall, the additions are welcome—a cafe open after 6 pm could only be a positive thing for Santa Fe, and I hope that Iconik succeeds with their expansions in this regard. Check it out before the laptop crowd gets wind of the new hours, though, and it becomes difficult to grab a seat.

Prepare yourself for white-hot rage, because we’re all screwed. The ice caps are melting, the ocean levels are rising, developing nations are stuck in a poverty-driven pollution cycle and, as you may well know, Trump has withdrawn from the Paris Climate Accord like some kind of asshole. We hear this so constantly, usually in the form boiled-down pseudo-scientific jargon—but from cities in America like Miami, to Tacloban in the Philippines and relatively human-free areas of Greenland, the planet is in serious crisis.

Re-enter Al Gore and An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power. You’ve known Gore for years and, chances are, you’re at least somewhat aware of his climate crusade—which dates back to the 1980s—but not since An Inconvenient Truth more than a decade ago has the information been so accessible and bite-sized, nor has the situation been more dire.

+ RELEVANT,

VALUABLE INFORMATION - PLAYS A LITTLE TOO TOWARD THE MIDDLE

Yes, the inmates are currently running the asylum, and yes, the information seems bleak, but among the stark realities exposed or revisited in Sequel comes hope in the form of small American cities going 100 percent renewable (even in a tiny red town in Texas). A seemingly revitalized Gore is continuing to offer training to like-minded climate crusaders, and there’s evolving tech and ideals that lean more toward solar and wind power (they’re the best ones, you know). It’s good to see the former vice president getting pissed off, but he’s also got the patience and resolve of a saint. Not since his guest spots on Futurama (his daughter Kristen

was a writer) have we been so enamored with his grace and ethics, and we definitely agree it’s time to start worrying, if you haven’t already.

To paraphrase something Gore says in the film, future generations will have every right to look back on us and wonder why we didn’t listen, why we didn’t strategize, why we didn’t act.

+ FEELS GREAT - REALLY ONLY SCRATCHES THE SURFACE

Director Amanda Lipitz has come a long way from her days as producer for the Legally Blonde musical. Now she presents Step, a documentary examining the lives of young women juggling their step dance team and the pursuit of college acceptance during their final year at a Baltimore school for girls.

Lipitz zeroes in on three disparate and distinct voices: Cori, the over-achiever hoping for a full ride to Johns Hopkins University; Tayla, a relatively average student with an intense mother; and Blessin, the founder of the step team with a fiery personality that hides great sadness.

Lipitz sets the stage against the backdrop of the 2015 police murder of Freddie Grey, but other than some peripheral mentions of the tragedy and an emotionally flat field trip to Grey’s memorial with the step coach leading the way, the underlying theme is lost in the shuffle. We do, however, understand that as young black women living at or below the poverty line, the doc’s main subjects are at a decided disadvantage—but we’re left to simply

know that, as Lipitz never digs much deeper into the matter than “They’ve got it hard; step dance is the escape, college the light at the end of the tunnel.”

When 100 percent of their senior class graduated from the Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women, the reaction feels exaggerated, but the college counselor and principal of the school care so much and try so hard that we can’t help but get swept up in their

ethics and efforts.

It would have been nice to find out where the girls are today or even to have gotten a clearer idea of their home lives or trials and tribulations, and Step does come perilously close to emotionally manipulative. Still, there is an ultimate message of positivity and hard work that’s impossible to deny, and ample sentimental satisfaction that comes from knowing even those who struggle with intense adversity and systematic oppression can make their way and make their mark.

+ SUPER-COOL IDEA - SUPER-UNCOOL EXECUTION

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

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

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

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

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

The Dark Tower could have easily been twoplus hours and far more awesome; hell, it could have been two or three movies. In fact, it should have been. But if we had to guess, it’ll probably do pretty poorly and wind up on the cinematic ash heap forgotten to time ... or something. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 95 min.

ATOMIC BLONDE

7

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

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

The Dark Tower ... exists, that’s for sure. And Idris Elba does what he can, but ...

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

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

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

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

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

+ RELENTLESS YET BEAUTIFUL - LOTS OF PEOPLE JUMPING OFF

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

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

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

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

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

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

VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS

+ BEAUTIFUL, EXCITING - LOVE, SCHMUV

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

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

If you liked John Wick, you’ll probably also like Atomic Blonde.

Y’know, because they’re good guys like that.

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

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

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

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

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES

7

+ INCREDIBLE EFFECTS; LOVED BAD APE!

- LAGS IN THE MIDDLE

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

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

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

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

MIND BODY SPIRIT CLAIRVOYANCE Rob Brezsny

Week of August 16th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): ”To disobey in order to take action is the byword of all creative spirits,” said philosopher Gaston Bachelard. This mischievous advice is perfect for your use right now, Aries. I believe you’ll thrive through the practice of ingenious rebellion -never in service to your pride, but always to feed your soul’s lust for deeper, wilder life. Here’s more from Bachelard: “Autonomy comes through many small disobediences, at once clever, well thought-out, and patiently pursued, so subtle at times as to avoid punishment entirely.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In accordance with the astrological omens, I hereby declare the next two weeks to be your own personal Amnesty Holiday. To celebrate, ask for and dole out forgiveness. Purge and flush away any non-essential guilt and remorse that are festering inside you. If there truly are hurtful sins that you still haven’t atoned for, make a grand effort to atone for them - with gifts and heart-felt messages if necessary. At the same time, I urge you to identify accusations that others have wrongly projected onto you and that you have carried around as a burden even though they are not accurate or fair. Expunge them.

Chodorow calls “the light of focused insight” and “the playful, blissful, all-embracing experience of joy.”

ommend using the “killing with kindness” approach. Be wily and generous. Cloak your coaxing in compassion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The coming days would an excellent time to celebrate (even brag about) the amusing idiosyncrasies and endearing quirks that make you lovable. To get you inspired, read this testimony from my triple Gemini friend Alyssa: “I have beauty marks that form the constellation Pegasus on my belly. I own my own ant farm. I’m a champion laugher. I teach sign language to squirrels. Late at night when I’m horny and overtired I may channel the spirit of a lion goddess named Sekhmet.

I can whistle the national anthems of eight different countries. I collect spoons from the future. I can play the piano with my nose and my toes. I have forever banished the green-eyed monster to my closet.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You know about the Ten Commandments, a code of ethics and behavior that’s central to Christianity and Judaism. You may not be familiar with my Ten Suggestions, which begin with “Thou Shall Not Bore God” and “Thou Shall Not Bore Thyself.” Then there are the Ten Indian Commandments proposed by the Bird Clan of East Central Alabama.

They include “Give assistance and kindness whenever needed” and “Look after the well-being of your mind and body.” I bring these to your attention, Sagittarius, because now is an excellent time to formally formulate and declare your own covenant with life. What are the essential principles that guide you to the highest good?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your education may take unusual forms during the coming weeks. For example, you could receive crunchy lessons from velvety sources, or tender instructions from exacting challenges. Your curiosity might expand to enormous proportions in the face of a noble and elegant tease. And chances are good that you’ll find a new teacher in an unlikely setting, or be prodded and tricked into asking crucial questions you’ve been neglecting to ask. Even if you haven’t been particularly street smart up until now, Cancerian, I bet your ability to learn from uncategorizable experiences will blossom.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here’s a definition of “fantasizing” as articulated by writer Jon Carroll. It’s “a sort of ‘in-brain’ television, where individuals create their own ‘shows’ -- imaginary narratives that may or may not include real people.” As you Capricorns enter the High Fantasy Season, you might enjoy this amusing way of describing the activity that you should cultivate and intensify. Would you consider cutting back on your consumption of movies and TV shows? That might inspire you to devote more time and energy to watching the stories you can generate in your mind’s eye.

free,” said New Age author Richard Bach. “If they come back, they’re yours; if they don’t, they never were.” By using my well-educated intellect to transmute this hippy-dippy thought into practical advice, I came up with a wise strategy for you to consider as you re-evaluate your relationships with allies. Try this: Temporarily suspend any compulsion you might have to change or fix these people; do your best to like them and even love them exactly as they are. Ironically, granting them this freedom to be themselves may motivate them to modify, or at least tone down, the very behavior in themselves that you’re semi-allergic to.

the swift-running flightless bird known as the Road Runner. Every single time, Wile E. has failed to achieve his goal. It’s apparent to astute observers that his lack of success is partly due to the fact that he doesn’t rely on his natural predatory instincts. Instead, he concocts elaborate, overly-complicated schemes. In one episode, he camouflages himself as a cactus, buys artificial lightning bolts, and tries to shoot himself from a bow as if he were an arrow. All these plans end badly. The moral of the story, as far as you’re concerned: To reach your next goal, trust your instincts.

JOYFUL AWAKENINGS— Release old programming, experience unconditional self-love and embody your joy! Akashic records clearing, deep emotional healing, love vibration activation.

Aleah Ames, CCHt. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 43 cartoon stories, the 505-660-3600, LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If you love someone, set them coyote named Wile E. Coyote has tried to kill and devour Joyful-Awakenings.com.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1892, workers began building the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. But as of August 2017, it is still under construction.

Renovation has been and continues to be extensive. At one point in its history, designers even changed its architectural style from Neo-Byzantine and Neo-Romanesque to Gothic Revival. I hope this serves as a pep talk in the coming weeks, which will be an excellent time to evaluate your own progress, Virgo. As you keep toiling away in behalf of your dreams, there’s no rush. In fact, my sense is that you’re proceeding at precisely the right rate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You temporarily have cosmic permission to loiter and goof off and shirk your duties. To be a lazy bum and meander aimlessly and avoid tough decisions. To sing off-key and draw stick figures and write bad poems. To run slowly and flirt awkwardly and dress like a slob. Take advantage of this opportunity, because it’s only available for a limited time. It’s equivalent to pushing the reset button. It’s meant to re-establish your default settings. But don’t worry about that now.

Simply enjoy the break in the action.
