Santa Fe’s uneven demographic trends reflect inside its schools during the first week back BY AARON CANTÚ a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
M
ost of the more than 13,200 children who attend Santa Fe Public Schools returned from summer vacation last week. SFR visited three schools to observe how the city’s lopsided demographic trends, which see wealthier neighborhoods near the Plaza continue to age while young families with children drive residential development in southwestern Santa Fe, are reflected inside the classroom. The six primary schools in the SFPS Southside region—including Amy Biehl Community School, Nina Otero Community School, César Chávez Elementary, Sweeney Elementary, Ramirez Thomas Elementary and Piñon Elementary—almost exclusively serve their surrounding neighborhoods, which has seen a 57 percent increase in the population of children that are pre-K to sixth grade-age since 2002, according to the district. They also average out to 88.2 percent Latino. These are some of the most crowded schools in the district. In contrast, there was only a 5 percent increase in pre-K to sixth grade-aged children over the same time period in the neighborhoods around Acequia Madre, Wood Gormley and Atalaya, clustered near Canyon Road in the district’s Northeast region. The student populations of these three schools, which consistently receive high marks from the state, are largely comprised of students who don’t live in their surrounding areas but
transfer in under a district policy. They average out to about half non-Hispanic white. Like Northeastern schools, student numbers at Nava, EJ Martinez and Chaparral have also declined because of an aging population, but they haven’t seen a similar demand from parents living elsewhere in Santa Fe to transfer their children into them. Latino students make up about 75 percent of the population at those three schools. Last year, the district proposed closing Nava and leasing out the EJ Martinez facility for the state-run Turquoise Trail Charter School, but the board ultimately voted against the plan at the end of May due to public outcry. Some research has shown that smaller class sizes can produce better learning outcomes for lower grade levels, and in Santa Fe, Southside schools are far more crowded than their counterparts in the central and northern parts of town. Its actual impact, however, is difficult to determine.

Principal Marc DuCharme has the easy smile of a former elementary school teacher, and appears genuinely excited on the second day of classes for students. Next year will be a half-century since Nava opened its doors on Siringo Road. DuCharme, who formerly headed De Vargas Middle School, says the school plans to celebrate the occasion in a big way. “The only difference between us and Acequia Madre and Wood Gormley [and] Atalaya is our location,” Ducharme says, noting virtually all students who attend Nava live within walking distance. But this, he says, should be seen as an asset. The school plans on making itself a place where parents want to send

their kids, he says, by promoting activities such as a fitness club and a strings instruments program. In the cafeteria, third-graders talk to each other over a lunch of corn dogs and beans. SFR tried to drop in on the class of one teacher, but she declined because she was trying to set the tone of her classroom during the first week of school.
Northeast: Acequia Madre Elementary School Acequia Madre is more than a decade older than Nava, but the district never contemplated shutting its doors. Principal Kathy Cassus has an idea why. “We have a lot of people who want to transfer into here because of the idea” of the school, Cassus tells SFR. “This is what an elementary school should feel like.” This year, about half of the fewer than 200 students at the school will be transfers from other parts of the city. Murals painted by generations of students adorn the walls, and outside, the parent-teacher association maintains a garden with fruit trees, flowers and a compost bin. In second grade teacher Kathryn Sechrest’s class of 17 children, students learn to meditate on their feelings and express them in emotionally sophisticated ways.
South: Amy Biehl Community School Last year, families mostly moving into the Oshara neighborhood boosted the Rancho Viejo school’s enrollment to capacity, forcing the district to redirect any new students in the surrounding area to nearby Piñon for the following year. With a capacity for 470, Amy Biehl is huge, but not big enough to keep up with Southside growth, Principal Cheryl Romero says. “I think it’s going to be something where we just work with the city and county as much as possible to try and see how the development is happening,” Romero says, “so we can try and prepare ourselves to serve our students.” On the first Friday of the school year, students prepare to leave for an early release, after having assembled in the gym for a rally. Sixth and first graders pack into the cafeteria at the same time for lunch—the main course is cheesy bread. The school, whose interior is painted in earth tones, is less than 10 years old and feels more akin to a medium-sized middle school. Romero claims the school enjoys a “really high morale” where people care for each other and are compassionate. Even as its population grows, Amy Biehl still serves its original function as a true community school. “Families know each other here,” she says, “because of the stability we have.”

Unsolved, but Not Cold No arrests in three Santa Fe murders this year, but police say they’re still highly active investigations BY J E F F P RO CTO R j e f f p r o c t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

ne man was beaten to death with a baseball bat in May. Another was fatally stabbed about six weeks later. A third man died July 30 by gunshot wound after confronting an armed man in his backyard near Herb Martinez Park in the south-central part of the city. That makes three homicides in Santa Fe in 2018—roughly the city’s annual average for the past decade, according to figures provided to SFR by the police department. None of the three has been solved yet. Turns out that’s not terribly unusual, either, the figures show. And Paul Joye, the recently minted lieutenant overseeing the Santa Fe Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Bureau, wants city residents to know there’s nothing cold about any of the three cases. “Nothing’s gone stagnant,” Joye tells SFR, “and everything is still moving forward.” He says potential witnesses are cooperating with detectives, lab techs are processing evidence gathered in at least two of the cases, and SFPD has two “persons of interest” in one case. (It is not clear whether either of those people is a sus-

pect; Joye says there are no suspects in the other two cases.) Joye, a former homicide detective himself, also wants people to know there’s no indication that any of the three crimes are connected. He hopes that might tamp down any potential fears Santa Feans might have about the possibility of a serial murderer on the streets. Still, solving murders is an inexact corner of police work that requires tireless reviews of evidence, help from residents and, in many cases, a lucky break or two. SFPD has historically had its share of all three when someone is killed in the city. Since 2008, the department has investigated 41 homicides, according to figures SFR requested. Twenty-seven of those cases have been closed. In SFPD’s book, that means one or more people was arrested on suspicion of murder, a letter of referral for charges against one or more people was forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office, or both, Joye says. That gives the department a 10-year average clearance rate of 66 percent. Some years have been better than others. In 2008, for example, the department closed three of four homicides—or 75 percent. In 2011, Santa Fe detectives closed all three homicides they investigated. In 2010, eight people were murdered in the city; just three of those cases have been solved. A 10-year clearance rate of 66 percent compares favorably to police departments around the country. According to statistics compiled annually by the FBI, the average clearance rate for murder cases at American police departments was just shy of 60 percent in 2016, the most recent year for which data are available.
In 66 percent, or 27 cases, charges were filed with the district attorney and arrests made. 14 cases remain open.
Of cases considered closed, the average time between the discovery of the crime and its clearance is 2.5 months.
“We do pretty well,” Joye says. “We’ve had a lot of success with solving these.” He says the department’s wellpublicized officer shortage has not impacted the Violent Crimes Division, which has four detectives and is working to seat a fifth. That’s the same number of officers assigned to the division as 2012, when Joye worked there. Of the 27 cases detectives have closed in the past 10 We’ve had good years, the length of time it took to collar a suspect has success with the ranged from a single day to six community, because I months.

years hence, that involves the visceral memories of ironworkers. (Yes, ironworkers.) Internment camps in America are, for obvious reasons, on the minds of many in these strange, dark days, too—so, through an interview with a former state historian, we revisited Santa Fe’s history of penning people into confined spaces. One of our reporters tossed open the shutters on one of the grisliest murders this city has ever known— it involved a beheading—by passing by the home in which it occurred. (There’s a ray of light in this one, just to keep this collection of horrors in some perspective: Sometimes, purpose comes from misery.) And finally, we’ve placed the Palace of the Governors in a brief, but more complete frame than what we imagine most folks discuss at cocktail parties when the place comes up. We hope you’ll soak up some of this dark history and let it exist alongside the light you associate with living in this city. After all, places, like people, are maddening, beautiful, hideous and endlessly oversimplified.

But what we’ve assembled here is something a bit different.

H
ousing crisis got you down? Let’s hope Santa Fe doesn’t repeat one unpleasant fact of life in the downtown area: The sloping streets just north the Plaza and south of Hyde Park Road include a development that was cut during an earlier housing shortage. The unpleasantness: Instead of leaving open a fallow space that held a cemetery, home developers went right through the graveyard’s center. Historical maps dating through 1919 show a street made a right-angle around the graveyard, but on a 1940 plat, Kearny Road cut diagonally across it, creating a neighborhood block. In two separate excavations in 2003 and 2005, the state Office of Archaeological Studies identified more than 16 people who had been buried in coffins there, many of them infants.
There are probably many more skeletons below. A report from the office concluded that the area on the edge of the old Spanish “La Garita” fort was a large communal cemetery primarily used in the 1800s, where people were buried, one on top of the other, in several layers. Its use stopped around the American occupation of the city, and contained “the bones of many of the distinguished citizens of the old Spanish times,” wrote Earl Forrest in 1929 (his work largely drawing on that of Bradford Prince in 1915). The space became “lost” in more modern times. “Our cultural patterns today of burial space as owned private property is really a fairly modern thing,” explains Eric Blinman, head of the state Office of Archaeological Studies. “There was no sense of, ‘This is my plot and nobody else can touch

it.’ Our attitude is conditioned a little bit on this imposition of a private-property sensibility in what once was a far more communal approach to dealing with a very common problem.” Remains are uncovered virtually every time someone digs a trench in the area for repairs or improvement. The city has been eyeing water line upgrades there, Blinman says, but that will likely involve another excavation. The area, like much of Santa Fe, has been a location of human occupation since at least “the AD 1000s,” the archaeological report says. Other private, commercial and even government buildings are situated over known graveyards all over the historic part of the city, including the PERA building, erected where a boarding school also once stood. Blinman says there are historic known graveyards below the area of the Masonic Lodge, and even the Dunkin Donuts and a tire store on St. Francis Drive. What’s more, funerary practices in history called for some people to be buried outside, but near, the cemetery boundaries. So, who knows who’s where? (Julie Ann Grimm) CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

The bright turquoise trim has recently been painted stark white. There’s a cross out front, which, in this heavily Catholic city, might not be terribly unusual—but it both recalls a terrible memory and stands as a testament to one family’s resilience and constant call for the state to bolster victim’s rights. Kathleen “Kat” Lopez was 31 when she was killed there in October 2000. Her mother and one of her sisters returned from a trip to discover blood on the kitchen, dining room and living room floors of the South Capitol house. A rug was missing. A comforter, too. Both Lopez’ car and her truck were gone. Kat was missing and her family was panicked.

When investigators got a search warrant to try to match his dental records to the bite on Kat Lopez’ arm, Lara broke his own teeth in his jail cell. After days of gut-wrenching testimony and evidence, the jury didn’t buy Lara’s story. Stephen Pfeffer, a longtime criminal court judge, ordered the Santa Fe SWAT team to transport Lara to his sentencing hearing, where Pfeffer put him in prison for life (mandatory 30 years), plus 37 years for other crimes. He’s currently at the Guadalupe County Correctional Facility in Santa Rosa. Roberta Lopez, Kat’s closest sister in age, told reporters after the trial that she wished the crime qualified for the death penalty and said of Lara, “He can go straight to hell.” In the almost two decades since Kat’s death, Roberta and her sisters have been vocal advocates for stronger protections—and services—for victims of violent crime. Her niece, Jessica Montoya Trujillo, kept a close eye on the victim advocate who was at the family’s side during the court cases of Lara, Baca and a third man convicted of harboring Lara, Eddie Lucio. Trujillo was so touched by the advocate’s work that she went to school for criminal justice and, when a spot opened with the District Court, she became a professional advocate.

gering in the workers’ noses for weeks after they left the prison. In all, at least 33 people were killed in the mayhem, although dozens of inmates were never accounted for. Sam Montoya, another ironworker who walked through the prison immediately after the riot, remembers seeing “an upside down rainbow of blood” on a wall where a man had been hung by his feet and bashed like a piñata. “I didn’t eat for a long time, because of the feeling, of the memories that I had,” Montoya tells SFR. “I don’t know why I was chosen to be into the history of this, but as an ironworker, I had to go in there and do my job.” Both Montoya, 76, and Bourguet, 74, say they were never interviewed by any representative from the state for their account of what happened, nor did any journalist ever contact them. They say they were never reimbursed for their tools. Although the two men are long retired and now make a decent living as metal sculptors selling their craft by word of mouth, Bourguet says they still talk about that day in 1980 when they went back into the prison one last time. “They took our tools and torches, everything was gone— [but] nobody even came and talked to us,” he tells SFR. “But we’re the ones, man. We were there on the ground.” For years, the state conducted tours of the prison now known as Old Main as a spectacle. They are no longer offered, a spokesman tells SFR, due to both cost and “lack of interest.” (Aaron Cantú)

ne of the clearest memories Jimmy Sedillo Bourguet has of the Penitentiary of New Mexico is all the floating Bibles. Pipes broken in the chaos of the nation’s bloodiest ever prison riot in 1980 had flooded the lockup until the water was about ankle deep, and Bourguet, an ironworker who had been updating a cellblock’s door locks to an electrical system after a recent jailbreak, had been allowed back inside to retrieve his tools four days after the rampage began on Feb. 2. “All the Bibles really got to me,” Bourguet says today, nearly 40 years later. “Them boys praying not to get killed in there.” On Feb. 6, state police escorted Bourguet and about a half-dozen other workers with the Local 495 Iron Workers union through the prison. They discovered that inmates had broken into the cellblock where the workers stored acetylene torches as well as various wrenches, grinders and other heavy metal instruments inside large padlocked boxes. Although Bourguet says he found some of their tools, workers recovered almost none of them, because they had been deformed by smashing bones and ripping human tissue. Around the prison were iron rods piled high that Bourguet and his comrades had removed from the manual door-opening system they were replacing before the uprising. He later heard from police that somebody had impaled an inmate’s head with one of the rods. The smells of flesh and smoke mixed together, lin-

accounts, the Santa Fe location maintained more humane conditions than those in Lordsburg and elsewhere. Internees at Santa Fe worked basic jobs, published a newspaper and even maintained a farm in response to otherwise terrible food conditions. “They’d get 80 cents a day,” Romero says of their work, “so long as they were doing things to im-
prove or maintain the camp.” Regardless, participation in stripping people of their freedom based solely on national origin remains one of the darker chapters in Santa Fe history. But why was the camp located here? “New Mexico was a state for just 30 years before all of this, so Franklin Delano Roosevelt probably thought he still
COURTESY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
n February 1942, the post-Pearl Harbor anti-Japanese hysteria came to a head when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 into law, giving the US military unprecedented power to detain and imprison citizens of Japanese descent. Camps were erected quickly in California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona and—you guessed it—New Mexico. We actually had several across the state, from Lordsburg to Lincoln County to Raton. “People think it was only because of Pearl Harbor, but a lot of these [Japanese people] had to register with the government before then,” former State Historian Hilario Romero tells SFR. “They were called Enemy Aliens—they were businessmen, individuals who had very successful businesses—they were really very good Americans. They rarely broke the law.” Santa Fe’s camp, which opened mere weeks after FDR’s order in March 1942, was housed within an abandoned Civilian Conservation Corps camp on familiar land—you know it better today as the Casa Solana neighborhood. By March of the following year, nearly 2,000 people were detained there. By some historical

had to change his currency into pesos,” Romero says. “It was this isolated area and you weren’t going to fly in here, things weren’t going to happen here, and that’s the way they looked at it—[the government] said, ‘Let’s have the Manhattan Project there,’ and it was the same thing with the internment camp.” Romero also grew up in the neighborhood where, he says, the camp stood abandoned after its closure in 1946 until 1953, when developer Alan Stamm began building up the area into what we know it as today. It wasn’t until 1948 that president Harry Truman officially addressed executive order 9066, providing some semblance of compensation for victims of the camps. The order wasn’t even reversed until 1976 during Gerald Ford’s tenure as president—a full 34 years after the stroke of FDR’s pen. A plaque erected at the Frank Ortiz Dog Park in 2002 explains the location of the internment camp due east and below the hill, and notes the marker is in place “as a reminder that history is a valuable teacher only if we do not forget our past.” (Alex De Vore)

COURTESY THE LAND OF SUNSHINE
he world over, the side effect of turning historic government buildings into museums and landmarks is that they’re stripped of their filthy origins. Tourists take selfies where guillotines once churned out head after head in Paris’ Place de la Concorde; the British raided the White House, ate its leftover food, stole its silver and torched the place in 1814; and in Santa Fe, the peaceful, reverential, thick-walled rooms of the Palace of the Governors used to be horse corrals and produce markets when downtown was just a few dirt roads choked with pack mules and campfires. And when we say “filthy origins,” in the case of the Palace, we mean it literally. The Palace was constructed in 1610 not as government offices but as a straight-up presidio. Towers held gunpowder, live-
in total disrepair. The only furnishings in the place were a few broken pieces of pine furniture and a busted copper kettle. A wooden bucket (but no well) also was cataloged. By about 1779, Juan Bautista de Anza was sent by the Spanish crown to see the state of Santa Fe. He “wrote a report about the Palace being dilapidated with doors hanging on hinges and things just falling apart,” says historian and former Palace of the Governors Director Tom Chávez. De Anza perhaps even regarded it as a lost cause. “He wanted to move the whole thing to the other side of the river, to where the Barrio de Analco is, and start anew,” Chávez continues, “except the local citizens refused to move. … So he complained to his superiors about the locals not wanting to change anything, which is sort of apropos to today.”
stock lived inside the fortification, the walls were thick and strong as concrete. During the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, Puebloans overtook the Palace and used it as fortifications and living quarters, adding kivas and another story. After Don Diego de Vargas had his 1692 Entrada, wherein he thought he negotiated a peaceful takeover, followed by the violent 1693 Entrada that occurred when he finally realized the Natives weren’t leaving of their own accord, the Puebloans were kicked out of Santa Fe—but the Palace still wasn’t taken care of. In Rosemary Nusbaum’s book The City Different and The Though, while the Palace Palace (Sunstone Press, 1978), we learn that by 1716, Governor was much nicer inside by the Felix Martinez ordered a survey time Governor Lew Wallace of the building, and two master masons sent word that it was was famously finishing Ben-Hur
But residences and offices were indeed needed, so, Nusbaum writes, Secretary of the Territory of New Mexico HH Heath secured $5,000 in 1867 to restore it to host territorial government. And so it went from there. (Though, while the Palace was much nicer inside by the time Governor Lew Wallace was famously finishing Ben-Hur in his quarters there in 1878, outside was still the Wild West, the Lincoln County War raging—and he apparently feared Billy the Kid’s gang would shoot him through a window.) Now, the Palace is undergoing renovations till the spring—but once it opens again, take a stroll through the hushed hallways. The Palace may not be towering in its appearance, but its history and legacy may make it one of the most impressive buildings in the state. Next time you visit, imagine donkeys and chickens in the interior courtyard, smoke-blackened walls from cook fires and kivas, Puebloans and governors alike crouched against the fortress walls, awaiting siege and gunshots.

READINGS & CONVERSATIONS
Lannan presents Readings & Conversations, featuring inspired literary writers of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, as well as cultural freedom advocates with a social, political, and environmental justice focus.
THE REVEREND DR. WILLIAM BARBER II with
KHURY PETERSEN-SMITH
WEDNESDAY 12 SEPTEMBER AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER The Reverend William Barber, pastor at Greenleaf Christian Church and president of the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP, led the Moral Mondays movement of weekly protests and civil disobedience against the discriminatory and conservative policies of North Carolina governor Pat McCrory, and against the celebrations of Confederate history that still plague the South. Barber recently helped organize the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Standing on the shoulders of the Poor People’s Campaign organized by Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, the 2018 program involved 40 days of direct action for racial, economic, gender, and environmental justice. Barber’s three books include The Third Reconstruction: Moral Mondays, Fusion Politics, and the Rise of a New Justice Movement (2016). Cornel West says, “William Barber is the closest person we have to Martin Luther King Jr. in our midst.”
Khury Petersen-Smith is the Michael Ratner Middle East Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, D.C. He researches US empire, borders, and migration and is coauthor of the 2015 “Black Solidarity with Palestine” statement.
NIKHIL PAL SINGH with
JEREMY SCAHILL
WEDNESDAY 26 SEPTEMBER AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Nikhil Pal Singh is an associate professor of social and cultural analysis and history at New York University and the founding faculty director of the NYU Prison Education Program. He is the author of Race and America’s Long War (2017), in which, historian Robin Kelley argues, “Singh obliterates any myth of American peace, revealing instead that the thread tying America’s past and present is long and continuous war−hot, vicious, global, and racial.” Singh’s work helps us understand the historical sweep of racist ideology that brought us to the election of Donald Trump in 2016 and shows the connection between the election and US military defeats abroad. He writes, “Marred by military atrocities, torture scandals, fiscal waste, toxic exposure, popular opposition, and public disgust, the US invasion of Iraq induced a regional death spiral and inspired new terrorist networks of the kind that the war was ostensibly fought to vanquish.”
Jeremy Scahill is a cofounding editor and senior investigative reporter at the investigative news site The Intercept and is the author of the best-selling Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army (2008) and Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield (2013).

more than 20 years as both a researcher and educator, and began developing the fish production system using tilapia while at the University of the Virgin Islands. “There was no fresh water and very expensive land,” Shultz says of the conditions in the Caribbean. “And when you have limited land and limited water, you have to recycle water—every drop is precious.” While Shultz developed the specific tilapia system in the Virgin Islands, his self-described “lightbulb” moment around the need to grow food in a controlled environment happened in the late ’80s in response to news reports about hospital waste being dumped in the Atlantic Ocean. “I knew at that moment our open systems are potentially contaminated,” he

As I wrote in a column last year, “the building itself emits a sense of future optimism,” geared as it is toward degree and certificate programs across a spectrum of fields—from biofuels to controlled environment agriculture— rooted in emerging sustainability practices. Detailing the complex’s green features would take up all the space I have. Oscar acts as a kind of mascot (and is part of a student club) for the school’s controlled environment agriculture’s aquaponics program, where students are learning how to grow fish and vegetables in contained environments with recycled water.

says, “My lightbulb moment or realization was, ‘I’m going to grow fish in a controlled environment with safe water and safe feed and grow food for humanity in a safe manner.’” Concerns about contaminated food, Shultz says, have only increased in the decades since, with rising levels of estrogen and opioids, not to mention Fukushima radiation. “I don’t trust the wild anymore,” Shultz says. He sees tilapia, already in the top three of popular fish, only growing in popularity, particularly when consumers can feel safe about its sourcing. “Most consumers love it,” he says. “It’s the tofu of fish: piece of white meat that has no flavor.” But fish farming is only part of the equation in the multiple growing environments in which students returning to campus this week will learn the ins and outs of hydroponics and aquaponics. The latter sector is relatively new, Shultz says, and SFCC’s is one of three accredited programs specializing in the field, offering both an associate’s degree and certificate program in controlled environment agriculture. “My students end up with a green thumb and a wet thumb,” he says. “If they can walk out very confident in horticulture and very confident in the hydroponics and water moving and pumps and electrical conductivity and all these things, those two skills sets will get them a job anywhere.” Students in the program receive plenty of hands-on experience. Our first stop is FarmPod’s condensed vertical greenhouse. The system is self-contained and runs off-grid on 300 watts of electricity while using tilapia, koi and goldfish below to grow vegetables such as broccoli, cherry tomatoes, lettuce and a variety of herbs above in a vertical space-efficient system. Moreover, the system is designed to be automated, meaning it could be monitored and run from anywhere. The company’s website (farminapod.com) proclaims a motto of “feeding the world one pod at

a time” with less waste, less labor and greater production of food made available anywhere. Some of the produce is used by students in the culinary arts program, as well as made available to students. Most of the students’ projects will take place in a larger greenhouse adjacent to the pod or in multi-use classrooms where students both grow and study plants. Shultz’ program interfaces with other sustainability initiatives in the department where students are studying biofuels, solar energy, algae production and much more. This semester, students are installing innovative nanogrid technologies (a single building energy system deserving of its own coverage at a later date) into the school’s 12,000-square foot greenhouse, along with commercial hydroponic and aquaponic systems, which will be available to students starting in the spring 2019 semester. The produce will be partially used to help create campus food sovereignty, as well as to serve the Food Depot and other partners, Shultz says (beyond providing food for people on earth, aquaponics may have galactic potential as well—Shultz co-authored a paper on its potential for “biogenerative space life support systems”). Space aside, here on earth, hydro- and aquaponics represent a paradigm shift in food production. “Twenty five years ago, I was before my time. I sometimes tell my students they’re still before their time,” Shultz says.

Many more petroglyphs can be found on MPPP’s 6,800-plus protected acres. Each year, the MPPP sends 40 trained, dedicated and tenacious volunteers out into the rocks to find “The Best of the Best” petroglyphs and archaeological features on land not open to the public. Now, speaker Candie Borduin presents a slide show and lecture about the 60 best images captured this year, as well as stone tools, ceramics, remnants of historic sheep corrals, camps and trails.

Elise Southwick and crew get folky With the upcoming release of the band Azalya’s COLORED RED, former solo songstress Elise Southwick firmly cements herself as one of the most talented and fresh local folk voices to watch and listen to. RED is a revelation, recorded by local mastermind David Badstubner (who also appears on the album) and featuring country genius Greg Butera and Southwick’s new-ish musical partner Louise Lodigensky, with whom her vocal harmonies are so heavenly it’s almost a tear-jerker. Southwick herself is pitch-perfect as both vocalist and musician, a College of Santa Fe alum who many might know better as one of the guitarists from local indie act Treemotel. But her Appalachian rootsfolk style merged with a longterm love of the banjo makes up her main project, even if it wasn’t ever her intention to go that route. “I don’t really know how to describe it,” Southwick says of her love of the stuff. “Folk music is really personal and true, very relatable, and I think that vibe drew me in.”
She grew up in Houston, a place she says is “a big gross city without any nature,” but her time in college in Santa Fe kept her here for good. That outdoorsy vibe is all over RED, particularly on tracks like “Ms. Tree” and “Steel City,” both beautiful reminders that life and beauty are fleeting both. “I would consider myself an environmentalist,” Southwick muses. “It’s one of the most profound things.” That ethos permeates the album. Expect more collaboration with Lodigensky in the future but, for now, the CD release show at San Miguel Mission with backup from local titans like Butera, Casey Andersen and Will Dyar is more than enough. “We’re hoping to let everything melt together,” Southwick adds. “We’re trying to make it a more collaborative thing in the future.” (Alex De Vore)

Fat of the Land The Fat Sweet wants to collaborate with pretty much everyone BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
W
e loved Always Home from local MC K.Dutch (aka KC Dutcher) when it dropped last year; it was raw but, like, in a good way. So when Dutcher reached out to let us know his new band The Fat Sweet has really come together well, we were intrigued. Merging hip-hop with other styles can be disastrous (see basically all rap-metal if you don’t believe me), but Dutcher has a certain consciousness and style that helps him avoid releasing garbage. Cut to the sharing of new tracks from the soul-meets-hip-hop-meets-R&B group, and it’s a bit of a relief to say that The Fat Sweet is a damn fine project. Dutcher, whose previous work took home a 2017 New Mexico Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Album, remains an MC, but he’s spreading out a bit more with The Fat Sweet for Michael Jacksonesque vocals and melodies. Further, the collaborative elements of the new band steer the backing music into an area adjacent to titans like Jimmy McGriff and Stevie Wonder—not so bad for a group of hippie-like white guys. Debut single “Hold On” is full of head-bobbing Rhodes organ action from Bryan Bakevich and sexy bass from Neal Denton. Drummer Joe Hecker, on loan from local country songsmith Greg Butera, goes sort of nuts here; not unfocused, but definitely jazzy and funky in a more complex way than we’re used to from him. That’s a compliment. The Fat Sweet is rounded out by guitarist Kevin Sennott (who also goes by Anteloop), a relative newcomer to Santa Fe but the kind of outdoorsy, mountain-climbing, guitar-shredding beard owner everyone knows who made the pilgrimage here and never left. “We’re trying to diversify,” Dutcher says. “I feel like we’ve moved into a new phase, so while we’re just beginning to home in on a sound, we’re still experimenting—we’re still developing our sound and trying to tap into as many dope artists as we can.”
Sennott agrees about collaboration, and says The Fat Sweet won’t be pinned down to any particular style and has the ability to morph and evolve based on whoever comes into the fold. “Santa Fe has all these really strong and very defined music scenes,” he says. “I feel like I’m standing in the middle of this circle and I want to interact with as many [musicians] as possible.” But it’s not all good news. The Fat Sweet has reportedly had trouble in getting booked at numerous venues around town. “I feel like we’ve gotten no’s just because I’ve said we play funk, soul, hiphop,” Dutcher says. “I hope embracing everything this town is will bring something back to us.” The Fat Sweet has absolutely played at venues like Second Street’s Rufina Taproom, but it would be cool to see them break out into some of the others. The Kaverns—that sorta-kinda-new venue brought to you by the Santa Fe Oxygen and Healing Bar—heeded the call. It’s where The Fat Sweet officially unveils “Hold On,” as well as the other material they’ve been working on the last six months. And that six-month marker is notable, considering the speed at which these guys have gotten it together. Production from Kabby Sound and mastering from Hills Audio’s Will Dyar on the new material sure didn’t hurt, but there’s a level of musical connection required to get something so complicated down that quickly. Regional tours and a full-length album are probably on the horizon as well but, for now, The Fat Sweet is all about building that local following and meeting as many like-minded musicians as they can. “I foresee getting into the studio and coming out with two, three, four songs each time,” Sennott says. “It would be really nice to be a part of that.”

COURTESY SAM ATKINSON
If you’ve visited The Candyman Strings and Things at any point during the past 15 years, you’ve probably been helped by Sam Atkinson. A longtime New Mexico musician who has worked at everyone’s favorite music store since Allegro Music closed in 2003, Atkinson is leaving town to join his family in Sacramento, California, where his teenage son is gearing up for vocational courses. It’s the end of an era, and we wanted to chat with Atkinson before his last day on Saturday Sept. 1. (Alex De Vore) How are you feeling? And not just about leaving the job, but leaving town and in general? I love Santa Fe. It’s always where I’ve considered to be home. I’ve spent the majority of my life here. At the very beginning I was super conflicted because I know there’s nobody who’ll be able to do everything I can do, but I also miss my family. We made a deal to do everything in life together. What would you say you’ve learned over the years working in a music store? People are people and everybody’s got a different quirk. What I’ve mostly learned is that talent has never been this town’s problem. The talented come through every day. When people complain about the music scene, it’s mostly because organizing that talent for the scene, that kind of thing has gone downhill since I’ve been here and it’s hard for musicians to navigate that crazy conundrum. That and how to be a good detective—how to find out what’s wrong with an instrument, how to solve someone’s problem of getting recorded, getting their amp working right. What do you think you’ll miss the most? The community of Santa Fe that I’ve been part of for the last 20 years is going to be hard to be without. I’ve spent so much time knowing that if I want the best breakfast burrito, I go to Tia Sophia’s; if I want the best roofer, I go to McPartlon Roofing. Most of my connections I made through the store. We see a handful of professionals all the time, but most of the people who come in are the roofers, the lawyers, the doctors. The family vibe that goes down here with [Candyman owners] Rand and Cindy Cook—being part of that community is going to be a hard thing to miss. Or when a little girl comes in with her broken clarinet and you fix it, she comes back a few weeks later and is so happy—those kinds of things are indescribable in terms of how much they mean.

eeing as the universe tends to create really cool synchronicities, the night after Cole’s Walking Upright, New Jersey-based actress June Ballinger presents her one-woman show that approaches that same generation of British women, and that same forced stoicism—but with much different origins. Ballinger’s biographical piece is not about herself, but rather her mother Nancy (Ballinger plays the role of Nancy for much of the play), who died in 2013. Growing up in the United States, Ballinger knew only bits and pieces of her mother’s involvement in British intelligence during World War II, and learned more once details of the Colossus became declassified. One of the very first supercomputers, Colossus was built to decrypt Nazi communications between 1943 and 1945. Also remarkable was who ran Colossus: Women. Almost entirely women. And Nancy was one of them. In 1970, a tell-all book about the secret project was published; in the decades since it’s become public knowledge through films, novels and a Netflix series. So while the historical facts of from her buttoned-up upbringing … and she her story solidified, loved it. Ballinger always felt Cole, now based in Santa Fe, began writing there was so much of and working with her director and editor Karher mother that she en Machon, and crafted her life story into a never knew. “I didn’t one-woman show. Due to music, impressions know who she was,” of larger-than-life British characters and Ballinger says of the events that can only be told enthusiasticaltime she was writing the play. “The British can be so guarded; they don’t sit around and talk about their feelings. They’re not all open-hearted about everything.” In striving to make the piece both historically accurate but strongly character-driven, Ballinger homed in on a whole emotional life of her mother’s that she never knew about. She drew largely from letters and a wartime diary found in her mother’s possessions after her death, which helped to shed new light on her mother’s deep emotions, beyond just cut-and-dry facts. Women during the war, Ballinger says, “had this surge of empowerment and vitality and importance. They were working and they were important to the war effort and they were peers to the men. … But then when the war was over, it was back to the kitchen, back to the nursery. It was taken away.” So it went that after marrying and moving to America to raise a family, Nancy, the former badass translator of encrypted Nazi communications, was relegated to domesticity—and not only that, but the work she’d done was a state ly out loud, Cole knows her story secret, so she couldn’t even use it for leverage. is better suited to a live and live“She was very vague about it,” Ballinger says of her mother’s wartime work (it ly performance than a written was common for code-breaking women to say it was “clerical”). “And, like all of memoir. the good Brits that were very loyal to an oath that they took, she didn’t want to be Finally, when I ask what her caught saying more than she should.” And that secrecy impacted Nancy’s entire life. (long-deceased) mother would “It molds your personality; it created, in a sense, her style in America as a British think of this performance, Cole woman. Creating a dignity, and surrounding herself with that kind of obliqueness.” exclaims: “Oh, she’d be absoIn telling her mother’s story, Ballinger also hopes to inspire a new generation lutely horrified!” and bursts to think about some of the origins of modern feminism.

COURTESY LISANNE COLE
hile modernity has brought forth from Britain the stuff of vibrant daydreams—punk rock, Vivienne Westwood, Doctor Who and Hogwarts—postwar Britain was more concerned with extreme stoicism. After the Blitz and covert intelligence missions out the wazoo and tightened belts and tugged-on boot straps, it was all about making nice. Be quiet and do your duty. “Don’t embarrass your father and I, darling.” Chin up, then. Ta. (Can’t you just hear Claire Foy’s choked-voice Queen Lillibet in your head?) This was the world in which actress Lisanne Cole’s mother tried to raise her. As an adolescent, Cole was sent to a strict boarding school for proper young British ladies. “For me, it was ghastly,” Cole says. “It was very regimented—bow for this, bow for that. We had to wear uniforms, we slept on horsehair mattresses and had to strip them every morning, and we had to kneel in prayer before breakfast.” She supposes her uptight parents were trying to make her a good housewife, “but it was rather unsuccessful.” It didn’t take long for her to decide she had no patience for domesticity; she always felt that there was “more to life than tea and crumpets,” as she says often. As a young adult, a friend told Cole one day that she was going to drive her Mini Cooper to Andorra. “I didn’t even know where Andorra was,” Cole recalls, “but I said, ‘Oh my god, can I come?’” The time she spent in tiny Pyrenean country was her ticket to a larger life. Now hooked on adventure, Cole solo-backpacked the world, went into “the thee-ahtaah” (as her mother said—and you can hear the curl of Cole’s upper lip in her impression of disdain), took a job as a DJ on a cruise ship, and eventually settled in Taos, New Mexico, where she built a straw bale house in 2000 and lived off the grid. It was worlds away

Opuntia Continues to Blossom BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
S
ince it opened its doors in November of last year, Opuntia Café has been a welcome addition to Santa Fe’s café culture, serving up colorful, globally minded tartines and vegetable bowls in a redesigned glass-paneled warehouse space that feels like a garden on the outside and a greenhouse within. And then, two weeks ago, co-owner Todd Spitzer, the godfather of local roaster Iconik and current proprietor of the recently opened Railyard addition Sky Coffee, debuted a dinner menu and extended Opuntia’s hours to 8 pm Monday through Saturday. The new menu is a collaborative effort between Mark Oppenhiemer, a Local Flavor columnist and private chef who specializes in Asian fusion; Kim Müller, former chef of Izanami at Ten Thousand Waves; and Opuntia kitchen manager Christian Buendia, formerly of Bodega Prime. In keeping with the breakfast and lunchtime offerings, the new dinner service has something for everyone—from the classic Santa Fe staple of a stuffed poblano ($8) served with black beans, avocado, cheddar cheese and chipotle aioli to Northern African lamb merguez meat balls ($10.75) seasoned with balsamic and harissa. Lunchtime sandwiches, salads and bowls are also available in the evening. In keeping with the ethos of sustainability that permeates the café, the chicken is organic, the pork is sourced from Beeler’s Pure Pork in Iowa, and the vegetables are farm-fresh. “We do our best to source as local and regional as we can,” says Spitzer, “especially this time of the year when the farmers market is so bountiful.” Against the café’s backdrop of neutral pottery, green potted plants and earthy wooden tables, the colorful
plates of vegetables and spiced meats stand in stark contrast. As far as the tapas are concerned, the portions are generous and designed to pair either with the selection of San Francisco-based Samovar teas or the new beer, wine and sake menu that became available alongside the dinnertime offerings. The drink menu features mimosas, a selection of beer and wine, and three sake choices. Spitzer says he plans to expand the sake selection up to six or more and hopes to start serving flights. A few of the wines are especially intriguing and imminently food-friendly; notably the Bodega Colomé Torrontés ($8 per glass) from the high-altitude region of Salta, Argentina, that behaves almost like a crisp, refreshing riesling, but with more flowery notes than fruit. For reds, the Sao Miguel do Sul Tinto ($8 per glass) delivers smooth tannin and black fruit flavors. It’s a blend of indigenous grapes from the Alentejo region of Portugal, and its pres-

A few highlights are the Passionate Gose from Marble Brewery and the gluten-free 2920 IPA from Second Street (both $6 per pint.) While the beers and wines are a delightful addition, contributing fruity and fresh flavors to vegetable dishes, the elegance and purity of flavor that is the purview of good sake adds a wonderful dimension to a menu peppered with dishes dominated by notes of umami and spice. With sake on my mind, I sat down in an airy corner of the café with a gorgeous view of an approaching storm outside. I ordered the Vietnamese peppered chicken wings ($10.75) dressed in a glaze of black pepper and local honey and served with a mushroom soy sauce and a side of spicy cucumbers seasoned with flecks of
chili pepper. I paired it with the Kurosawa Black Creek Junmai Kimoto ($6.75 per glass), a family-owned, meticulously hand-brewed dry sake that is generous enough to stand up to the grilled chicken, contributing subtle notes of banana and toasted coconut. I also sampled the salmon poké ($10.75), which features roughly three ounces of Atlantic salmon on a bed of medium-grain rice topped with scallions, sweet peas, cucumbers and ginger. It’s a zingy, refreshing dish, with the vegetables providing a satisfying crunch alongside the mellower rice and the spicy undertones of the poké sauce. It pairs very well with the Mizubasho “Snow Flower” Ginjo ($8.50), a smooth, premium sake with subtle apple blossom and melon flavors that make an enticing complement to seafood, but are not overwhelmed by the heat of the sauce. In fact, the new menu doesn’t shy away from an array of hot and earthy spices at all, from the blackened sugar snap peas ($7.75) to the Korean popcorn ($1) flavored with crimson gochujang, a sauce made from chile peppers and fermented soybeans that is at once sweet, hot and salty. It makes a delightful interlude between dishes, and I ended up eating two bowls. I finished the meal off with a dessert of rice pudding ($5.75) topped with peaches and raisins, paired with the Sayuri “A Little Lily” sake ($6.75), a cloudy, unfiltered Nigori with rich floral undertones. It was a fantastic ending to a meal rich in Asian fusion influences, and the evening view of mountains, sunset and storm made a lovely addition to the overall experience. I’d go back just to eat popcorn and watch the sunset any time. OPUNTIA CAFÉ 922 Shoofly St. 8:30 am-8 pm Monday-Saturday; 8:30 am-4 pm Sunday

Crazy Rich Asians Review Representation matters

FOR SHOWTIMES AND MORE REVIEWS, VISIT SFREPORTER.COM
It’s been well over 20 years since a mainstream American-produced film featured an entirely Asian cast (the last one was The Joy Luck Club in 1993, by the way, and Asians still remain the least-represented ethnicity in movies)—but with the release of the explosively popular Crazy Rich Asians from Now You See Me 2 director John M Chu, this alarming issue may change. Or at least be addressed better by Hollywood? Fingers crossed. Representation matters—even if the underlying plot of the Kevin Kwan book-turned-movie follows a relatively formulaic plotline. Constance Wu (Fresh Off the Boat) is Rachel Chu, a young NYU econ professor who has fallen for the uber-charming Nick Young, heir to bazillions of family dollars, but who hasn’t told Rachel that he’s rich despite their year-long relationship—an interesting factoid she only discovers once the pair heads to Nick’s homeland of Singapore for a wedding. A seriously fancy-ass wedding. Cue mild drama (she forgives him for not mentioning the rich thing pretty quickly) and jokes about how things sure are different over there. Wu asserts her leading-lady position brilliantly, a comedic actor with a knack for sublime timing and who has proven her chops on television for years. Here she portrays a cool and up-for-anything type who bravely fields Young family drama from Nick’s mother (the talented and graceful Michelle Yeoh of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame), vindictive, jealous exes and petty rich types; get this woman in more projects immediately, someone.
7 + VERY PRETTY;
CONSTANCE WU IS THE BEST - CHECKS OFF ALL THE STAID ROM-COM BOXES
Elsewhere, B-plot elements feel shoehorned in at best, particularly the crumbling marriage of Nick’s sister Astrid (Gemma Chan) and a wildly pointless role portrayed by Silicon Valley’s Jimmy O Yang. Henry Golding (who you probably don’t know yet) is serviceable as the handsome and apparently magnetic Nick (he hangs out at the YMCA and borrows Rachel’s Netflix password so, like, he’s not one of those rich people). As is the case with most characters, we get a primer in his deal within the film’s early minutes, though nobody outside of Rachel really develops beyond their baseball card stats. Community vet Ken Jeong is, as almost always, underused, even if his daughter (played by rapper Akwafina) does provide some of the most organically funny moments of the film. Nico Santos (of NBC’s Superstore) feels misused as well, a very funny actor who gets only a few lines that mostly just reaffirm that his character is gay. But it’s fun to see sweeping aerial shots of Singapore, especially when used in conjunction with the over-the-top lifestyle of the Young family. Fireworks happen, y’all. And then eventually we’re fed a rom-com trope about Rachel and Nick’s undying love hav-
ing nothing to do with money or status or making overbearing family members happy. The sorta-kinda-twist, however, lies in the stark reality of drastically differing social stations. This feels perhaps more true-to-life than plenty of the genre’s other examples, but still—wouldn’t you know it— love conquers all. Thank goodness, then, for the fantastic music found throughout Crazy Rich Asians that generally comes in the form of hit American or British songs covered in Chinese. This really sets a tone that makes non-Asian viewers feel welcome but still out of our element, a seemingly small yet clever touch in a film that is definitely aiming for fun rather than high art. Hopefully, though, it won’t be another two decades before Asian filmmakers and actors get another shot at the big screen of this scope. Frankly, it shouldn’t have to be a novelty—and if Hollywood’s concern is that (white) audiences won’t get it, let this be a lesson to them: If you make it, we will come. CRAZY RICH ASIANS Directed by Chu With Wu, Golding and Yeoh Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 120 min.

- LITERALLY NOTHING BAD TO SAY
Spike Lee’s newest is a film that should make you break down sobbing. For the past and the present—and for the potential future, given this low point in human history. BlacKkKlansman so vividly and powerfully captures our attention, taking us right up to the brink of hope before abruptly pulling us back down to reality; where racism is very much alive and well, where former KKK grand wizard David Duke can appear publicly, without fear, where protesters are run down for daring to point out that Black Lives Matter and where non-white Americans struggle daily for their very humanity.

tive who, in 1979, infiltrated the ranks of a local KKK chapter by simply making phone calls to local white supremacists and even David Duke himself (Topher Grace). Jewish officer Phillip Zimmerman (played here by Girls and Star Wars alum Adam Driver) poses as Stallworth for in-person goings on, and the small investigative team uncovers and thwarts an assassination attempt on a black student activist (Laura Harrier of Spiderman: Homecoming). It’s a fascinating bit of American history and the actual Stallworth even penned a book about it (Black Klansman: A Memoir)—though Lee’s version is dramaticized. Before now, Stallworth’s story was ultimately relegated to the trivia pile for most Americans. Hopefully this film changes that. Washington is electric as Stallworth, his lifelong desire to be a cop at odds with his burgeoning radicalism. Can change occur from the inside? Maybe so.

Nevermind the R-rating—we need to get as many middle school-aged kids to Eighth Grade as humany possible! (PS, we can smell this picture.) ability and a streak of well-earned rage. Even the white guys (some of ’em, anyhow) start to get it as best they can, but the racism rampant on the streets of Colorado Springs and within Stallworth’s department itself is shockingly casual—conditioned, maybe, but no less ugly. That casual hate grows bolder throughout the film, starting at something about how the Klan “is non-violent” and culminating in cross-burning and explosives among intense, heartbreaking, powerfully delivered lessons in black history. Corey Hawkins as Kwame Ture alone is worth watching. But it’s not all heavy doom and gloom. There is pain, shock and awe, yes, but artfully chosen moments of levity punctuate the more challenging elements and the editing and pacing are damn near perfect. And we should never look away, even if BlacKkKlansman proves hard to watch—especially for white people, and rightly so. If the events of Charlottesville or the similar re-rise of no-longer-afraid white supremacists haven’t clued you in to how the fight must continue, perhaps pop culture will. Either way, there’s a lot to learn and a lot to consider here thanks to Lee’s masterful filmmaking and the real Stallworth’s incredible achievements. (Alex De Vore) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 135 min.

+ FISHER IS A REVELATION; EERILY RELATABLE
- DRAGS IN PLACES
Newcomer Elsie Fisher achieves what must be the most profound and natural performance of the year as newly minted teen Kayla in comedian Bo Burnham’s screenwriting and directorial debut, Eighth Grade. A smart and intimate overview of a young woman’s waning middle school career, Burnham’s opus is at turns sickly-sweet and moving, terrifying and nostalgic; painful and hysterical, but earnest in a simple yet powerful way. Kayla is like any teen of today, a phone in her hand at all times and an overactive relationship with the internet, who tries to eke by unnoticed in a middle school full of familiar archetypes— the jocks and art kids, the band geeks and popular girls, the nerds and theater dweebs. But whereas most films focused on such an historically awkward era follow hyperactive sex drives or the tired popularity-at-all-costs thread, Burnham’s story humanizes high school-aged kids while unpacking new-world dilemmas alongside age-old drama. Kayla casts an introverted and awkward pall over everything, fearing pool parties, school politics and her crush while cultivating
an online personality steeped in endearing naiveté, yet valuable as an emotional sounding board—even if practically nobody is watching. Fisher feels effortlessly authentic, an emotional and dimensional being who can shift from the thrill of new friends to the agony of selfloathing without missing a beat. Say what you will of the modern teen, but their world feels more complicated now. Burnham, it seems, understands their plight as well as some of the too-mature pitfalls they face as a generation that has always known the internet. Frances Ha’s Josh Hamilton shines as well as Kayla’s single father, a man who aches to protect his daughter as she ventures deeper into the world, but ultimately trusts and understands her age-appropriate mood swings. He knows Kayla is cool, perhaps even ahead of her time, even if he does wind up doing embarrassing dad things now and then. But Fisher is the draw here, and we slowly learn how strong she really is. Throughout Eighth Grade, she faces her fears with a steadfast resolve, speaking her mind and embracing her vulnerability despite her self-perceived shortcomings and flaws. Kayla is a modern-day hero—for any gender or lack thereof—perhaps because we can see ourselves in her coming of age story, or maybe just because she never strays too far from honesty with herself and those around her.

+ THRILLINGLY OVER-THE-TOP
ACTION; (MOSTLY) MAGNETIC CAST
- EVERY CLICHE IMAGINABLE
Mission: Impossible - Fallout, the franchise’s sixth installment, throws away coherency and realism, replacing these with palpable tension and absurd action pieces. Ghosts of Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) past come back to haunt him as a cache of plutonium is lost on his watch, and it’s up to the Impossible Missions Force (ugh) to combat a group of terrorists called The Apostles in retrieving it. Fans of the series will appreciate the gunplay, fistfights, mask-wearing and daredevil stunts provided by Cruise, anyone else will find a serviceable action flick that works OK for late summer. Cruise is loose—hydrated and unstoppable, remarkable for a 56-year-old actor. Henry Cavill (Man From UNCLE), meanwhile, looks as if he’s been sleeping in his car for the last few weeks. He’s so puffy, he can’t fully put his arms down. Ving Rhames is surprisingly soulful as Luther Stickell, however, and his long-standing CONTINUED ON PAGE 43

Sasha is a spayed grey/white/orange female torbie that is 12 weeks old and came in as a stray. When she was brought in, she was very shy, scared and a bit of a feral. Once we started gaining her trust she started showing more affection, little by little. She still needs some work but with some help and love she will be the best furry friend anyone can have! She is now available to be adopted.
Tori is a spayed and very cute black female kitten. She is very calm and quiet at the age of 12 weeks old and was surrendered by her previous owners. She loves attention at times but mostly wants to observe and watch her surrounds. Yet, once you get her with new kitten friends she can be the most energetic kitten you have ever seen! She is ready to be adopted and find her loving family.

It is said that if a Tom Cruise butterfly flaps its wings, half way around the world, a typhoon of edge-of-your-seat destruction spawns. Find out in Mission: Impossible - Fallout. relationship with Cruise’s Ethan Hunt takes the forefront, further strengthening their 23-year bond. Elsewhere, Rebecca Ferguson (Life) has the most spectacular character entrance in the film, and although she is underused, she is easily the biggest scene-stealer. Simon Pegg further proves he belongs in the series with some of the best scenes coming from his familiarity with every single recurring character. Alec Baldwin shows up, too, basically playing himself, but Angela Bassett capably counters his forgiving-father archetype with a stern mother character as head of the CIA. Sean Harris, the stereotypical villain, growls and makes threats. An honorable mention does go to True Detective alum Michelle Monaghan as it was particularly nice to see her come back to the series. Christopher McQuarrie returns as well as series writer/director, following up his success with the fifth installment, Rogue Nation. McQuarrie’s directing style is competent enough as far as action scenes go, but between the too-frequent double crosses and an excess of cheesy lines (21 by this author’s rough count), his writing skills feel weak. The sets and cinematography simultaneously scream “pretty” and “fake.” Still, as we approach late summer, there are far worse choices. Fallout is as silly as it comes, but at least it isn’t a disappointment. (Matthew K Gutierrez) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 147 min.
LEAVE NO TRACE
8
+ IT’S A HEART-WRENCHING THINKER - MINIMAL STORYTELLING LEAVES LOTS UNDONE
For a movie based on the post-service experiences of disturbed veteran, the soundscape of Leave No Trace is stunning in its quiet. Not just its lack of flashbacks, mind you, but its pensive non-verbal communication—all the sounds you don’t hear. For a movie that takes place largely in the dripping wet woods of the Pacific Northwest, the complexity of the plot is fitting in its density. There are few rewards in being such an outsider that even your own footprint creates a sense of unease. But that is the life that Will (Ben Foster, ) lives, in complete survivalist mode, and thus the life in which he leads his daughter Tom (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie). The backstory of where and when he
served and what happened to Tom’s mother isn’t important in this telling, although we admit we crave more of that. The unknowns of how they came to live on public land are still gnawing days after our viewing. Foster conveys gruff love with deep eyes since his face is largely hidden under a golden beard, and Tom’s own chin does some of her biggest heaves as it quivers under the weight of her coming of age. “The same thing that’s wrong with you,” she says at a pivotal moment, “isn’t wrong with me.” The two characters get all the artistic focus of director Debra Granik, known for her griping Missouri woods rendition of Winter’s Bone; Leave No Trace is also adapted from a novel, by Peter Rock, which that author says is based on a true story. This one’s also solemn and unjust as the pair suffers the intervention of social services. It feels true enough: the rules our society imposes, the way in which for many those rules are just too much to bear. And how we don’t have much room, really, for figuring out a way to loosen the bondage to allow for healing. (Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, PG, 109 min.

CARLA and CARL were rescued during a TNR project in June and subsequently socialized in a foster home. TEMPERAMENT: These pretty cats are sweet and playful, but may be a little shy at first in a new home. They do not need to be placed together, but would most likely thrive in homes with another young cat to play with. CARLA is a pretty tortie. AGE: born approx. 5/1/18.
MR KOKO and his sister, MISS KELLY were found abandoned behind a restaurant off old Las Vegas Hwy. We do not know if there were more kittens who were not so lucky. TEMPERAMENT: Both kittens are a little shy at first, but are sweet and playful and quickly warm up to new people. If not adopted together, they should go to home with another outgoing kitten or young cat to play with. AGE: born approx. 5/1/18.

MIND BODY SPIRIT
Rob Brezsny
Week of August 22nd
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The two pieces of advice I have for you may initially seem contradictory, but they are in fact complementary. Together they’ll help guide you through the next three weeks. The first comes from herbalist and wise woman Susun Weed. She suggests that when you face a dilemma, you should ask yourself how you can make it your ally and how you can learn the lesson it has for you. Your second burst of wisdom is from writer Yasmin Mogahed: “Study the hurtful patterns of your life. Then don’t repeat them.”
business. So let’s do that now, just in time for the arrival of your Season of Completion. Are you ready to start drawing the old cycle to a close so you’ll be fresh when the new cycle begins? Are you in the mood to conclude this chapter of your life story and earn the relaxing hiatus you will need before launching the next chapter? Even if you don’t feel ready, even if you’re not in the mood, I suggest you do the work anyway. Any business you leave unfinished now will only return to haunt you later. So don’t leave any business unfinished!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Speak the following declaration aloud and see how it feels: “I want strong soft kisses and tender unruly kisses and secret truth kisses and surprise elixir kisses. I deserve them, too.” If that puts you in a brave mood, Taurus, add a further affirmation: “I want ingenious affectionate amazements and deep dark appreciation and brisk mirthful lessons and crazy sweet cuddle wrestles. I deserve them, too.” What do you think? Do these formulas work for you? Do they put you in the proper frame of mind to co-create transformative intimacy? I hope so. You’re entering a phase when you have maximum power to enchant and to be enchanted. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As you map out your master plan for the next 14 months, I invite you to include the following considerations: an intention to purge pretend feelings and artificial motivations; a promise to change your relationship with old secrets so that they no longer impinge on your room to maneuver; a pledge to explore evocative mysteries that will enhance your courage; a vow to be kinder toward aspects of yourself that you haven’t loved well enough; and a search for an additional source of stability that will inspire you to seek more freedom.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you ready to mix more business with pleasure and more pleasure with business than you have ever mixed? I predict that in the coming weeks, your social opportunities will serve your professional ambitions and your professional ambitions will serve your social opportunities. You will have more than your usual amount of power to forge new alliances and expand your web of connections. Here’s my advice: Be extra charming, but not grossly opportunistic. Sell yourself, but with grace and integrity, not with obsequiousness. Express yourself like a gorgeous force of nature, and encourage others to express themselves like gorgeous forces of nature.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “When I picture a perfect reader,” wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, “I picture a monster of courage and curiosity, also something supple, cunning, cautious, a born adventurer and discoverer.” I suspect he was using the term “monster” with a roguish affection. I am certainly doing that as I direct these same words toward you, dear Sagittarian reader. Of course, I am always appreciative of your courage, curiosity, cunning, suppleness, and adventurousCANCER (June 21-July 22): If you have been commun- ness. But I’m especially excited about those qualities now, because the coming weeks will be a time when they ing with my horoscopes for a while, you’ve gotten a decent education—for free! Nonetheless, you shouldn’t will be both most necessary and most available to you. depend on me for all of your learning needs. Due to my CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You do not yet have tendency to emphasize the best in you and focus on access to maps of the places where you need to go healing your wounds, I may neglect some aspects of next. That fact may tempt you to turn around and head your training. With that as caveat, I’ll offer a few meditations about future possibilities. 1. What new subjects back to familiar territory. But I hope you’ll press foror skills do you want to master in the next three years? ward even without the maps. Out there in the frontier, adventures await you that will prepare you well for the 2. What’s the single most important thing you can do to augment your intelligence? 3. Are there dogmas you rest of your long life. And being without maps, at least in the early going, may actually enhance your learning believe in so fixedly and rely on so heavily that they obstruct the arrival of fresh ideas? If so, are you willing opportunities. Here’s another thing you should know: your intuitive navigational sense will keep improving to at least temporarily set them aside? the farther you get from recognizable landmarks. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “All the world’s a stage,” wrote AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Healing isn’t impossible. Shakespeare, “And all the men and women merely players.” In other words, we’re all performers. Whenever we You may not be stuck with your pain forever.
