COVER STORY, AUG. 21:
Michael Davis,
“EVERY DANCE HAS A PURPOSE”
ONLINE, AUG. 23: “THE WASTE THAT REMAINS”
NOT THE ONLY THREAT Many in Santa Fe are pious about protecting our sole source aquifer system from LANL— “a threat to the region’s future water security.” However, it is exactly the same sole source aquifer we intend to corrupt with the county’s portion of the Aamodt Agreement. If we introduce a county water distribution system into the Pojoaque Basin without a waste water treatment system, then we will contaminate the same aquifer with thousands of known and unknown contaminants. Sixteen years ago, the US Bureau of Reclamation warned us against building the county water distribution system without a waste water treatment system. However, they have fallen into line; so why shouldn’t we? The county’s water distribution system provides water for developers and is supported by the powers-that-be, so let us all turn a blind eye. Short run profit triumphs over “the region’s future water security.” And this threat to our future will only cost New Mexico taxpayers $150 million. What’s not to like?

As a former New York City Ballet dancer and co-founder of NDI-NM and NMSA, dance is one of the few things I know deeply about. It was therefore very disheartening to see Morgan Smith’s article about “a new generation of Santa Fe flamenco dancers” and not see Emi Grimm, or La Emi as she is called, included. How could anyone write an article about Santa Fe and Flamenco and leave her out? Bad reporting, nepotism … is has to be something because she is a born and bred New Mexican, a gorgeous professional dancer with a terrific company, and a woman with a mission to bring flamenco to youth throughout New Mexico. She has weekly shows, a school, that I have visited, filled with aspiring young talent, and an outreach program that reaches into New Mexico communities far and wide. She even advertizes in your paper. Gee! Again—really disheartening that you would leave one of New Mexico’s best home-grown talents out. I hope you do a better job next time!

n April 2, 2008, I walked into the Reporter offices for my first day of work as a classified ad account executive. Little did I know that 11 years later, on the brink of turning 40, I would be helping to lead this organization that is near and dear to my heart. Every week our team works closely together to put out a publication for you—the Santa Fe community—our greatest supporter. We do what we do 51 weeks a year because you trust us and you believe in what we are doing. We totes take a week off every year for the holidays, though. During my tenure at the Reporter doing sales I have had the privilege of getting to know all the various business owners around town. I am fortunate enough to be able to call so many of you not only my colleagues, but friends too. One of the joys of my job is being able to sit down with businesses and make a plan to reach our wide audience with a particular message. When a business calls and says thank you, the plan worked. My purpose is to help businesses grow and be successful. Here’s where Friends of the Reporter comes in. The landscape of our industry is changing, but with your support, we will be able to continue delivering news and arts journalism for another 45 years. To that end, we’ve created a portal to collect pledges for small donations. Since we launched this project, we have seen overwhelming support from individuals, but we’d also like to acknowledge the businesses who help us stay afloat—and to ask a bit more. Now introducing our first Business Friends: Monroe Gallery and the Egolf + Ferlic + Harwood + Martinez law firm. Future issues will list their names prominently. Can we list yours, too? Will your business donate at least $500 per year to support local independent journalism? Independent journalism is so important to our country. The media is attacked daily, but we are not afraid nor will we stop fighting the good fight. Every week you can count on the Reporter. Thank you, Friends. We cannot do this without you.

was because of those places that I opened Casa Milagro.” Lieberman perches on the edge of a brown couch with her dog, Bear, while several Casa Milagro residents and two case workers prepare lunch in the kitchen. “We create a sense of community,” Lieberman says. “We have a culture of kindness. … For me, one of the important things was animal companionship. … We even had a resident here who had an emotional support hedgehog.” Residents may keep pets if they’re able, and they’re also expected to be employed and spend time in the community. They pay rent—a third of their monthly income—and contribute $200 toward food each month. Each resident has chores and must remain drug- and alcohol-free. Casa Milagro can be a lifetime home: One resident has been there two decades, another for 10 years. When there is a chance opening at Casa Milagro, the staff select people from a list provided by the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness. People who apply through the coalition are given a survey that rates their level of vulnerability. The most vulnerable are chosen first when there is an opening.

onna Marie Lievens had a happy childhood on Santa Fe’s Southside—until her father died and her mother married an alcoholic. That’s when her mental struggles began. By 16, she had tried to commit suicide. Her junior year of high school, she dropped out and got married. Despite early-onset symptoms of an undiagnosed mental illness, Lievens didn’t become homeless until her early 30s. She lost her house and lived out of her car; she lost that, too. Then she camped on a mesa in a tent, even in the dead of winter, to avoid the police and other people. “I was depressed. I was sad. I was happy. I was doing this thing,” Lievens says, using her arms to create an upand-down motion. “And I said, something is wrong with me. I went to go see a psychiatrist [about three years ago] and they told me I have bipolar and borderline personality disorder.” For nearly a decade, she hopped from shelter to shelter in Santa Fe, empty parking lot to mesa—wherever she could. Now, Lievens has a home. She has her own room, regular meals and daily chores. Lievens speaks with SFR on a hot afternoon sitting on the back stoop of a 6,200-square-foot house on the Southside where she now lives: Casa Milagro, a 12-bedroom, six-bath nonprofit home for people who are both mentally ill and homeless. It’s singular in New Mexico and has been operating since 1995, when Meryl Lieberman and Carol Luna Anderson co-founded it with financial help from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development after seeing horrifying living conditions inside New Mexico’s notorious boarding homes for people with mental illnesses. Casa Milagro is still mainly supported by HUD, along with individual donations and grants. “When people come out of the state mental hospital in Las Vegas, there are several board-and- care homes there— ‘care’ in quotes,” Liberman says. “It

censed and unregulated boarding homes in New Mexico. “I’m hoping once the governor doesn’t have to focus so much on terrorism, I actually want to get her out here so that she can see what the alternative to those places are and hopefully allocate some state money to start places like this all over, because there should be one in every community,” Lieberman says. The New Mexico Department of Health under Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham plans to release rules for boarding homes for people living with mental illness in the fall, followed by a public hearing. There are about 100 unregulated care homes in New Mexico, mostly in and near Las Vegas. Once the rules are complete, the homes will be licensed and regularly inspected for compliance with regulations governing fire safety, staffing levels, overcrowding and bathroom quality. The rules come after a 2016 Albuquerque Journal investigation that exposed terrible conditions and their consequences in several of the homes. The state has been unable to blunt near constant increases in homelessness. According to HUD’s 2018 report, there was a 2.8% climb in New Mexico’s homeless population that year, with a 16% increase in the number of homeless veterans. Shannon Milligan, a Casa Milagro case worker, believes more homes like Casa Milagro in Santa Fe County could help solve the state’s homelessness problem long term. “There’s not enough housing,” she says. “If they had even a couple more places like this … I think it would change Santa Fe and New Mexico.” At Casa Milagro, Milligan says, a safe environment is one of the main draws for the demographically and mentally diverse residents. They have all faced significant trauma, and being homeless put them in a position to be continuously revictimized. “The majority of people who are homeless have a mental illness, which is mostly trauma-based,” she says. “It’s just a vicious cycle. They’re continuing to have trauma by being homeless. Especially women, they get victimized on the streets.” Lievens is Casa Milagro’s newest resident. Her black hair pulled back into a tight ponytail, she looks out over the sweeping backyard, shadowed by the afternoon sun low in the sky. She has only been living in the house for two and a half weeks, but she already believes in the power of having safe, stable housing. “Everybody’s so sweet around here,” she says. “They do a lot of hugs and stuff like that. The staff is wonderful, too. They listen to you if you have a problem. They help you with your medication and stuff like that. This place saved me. It really did.”

New Food Economy New food processing facility plans to develop Midtown location to bridge value-added gap BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
O
n a warm evening in early June, a group of two dozen young growers gathered at Wildharber Farm just south of Española for a brainstorming and listening session hosted by the Northern New Mexico Chapter of the Young Farmers Coalition. The volunteer organization advocates at both the state and the national level for policies that support young, small independent farmers and ranchers. “What are the biggest barriers for you thriving as a farmer in New Mexico?” an organizer asked those assembled in the yard. As the conversation spilled into the evening, it became clear that small farms across the region share many of the same fundamental barriers to greater success and profitability. “We need to reevaluate regulations around getting value-added products on the market,” one farmer told the group, “and we need more shared infrastructure, pack sheds, trucks, processing places where you can use tools like those $30,000 wash tables—that’s nice equipment, state of the art, but I would never be able to afford that.” Value-added products can significantly increase the profitability of small farms, yet for many of the farmers gathered that night, breaking into the market is a dream that remains far out of reach. They are not alone. Researchers at New Mexico State University have identified a
shortage in processing facilities and distribution as the two main obstacles to the growth of the local agriculture industry, costing the state millions if not billions of dollars a year in potential revenue. For Santa Fe entrepreneur Kelly Egolf, this problem is also an opportunity. Egolf, the founder of food and beverage company Verde, says that her most recent venture, New Mexico Fresh Foods, will bring an ultramodern high-pressure processing facility to Santa Fe that has the potential to greatly expand the market. New Mexico is a state fueled by traditional agriculture that historically exported value-added products. Yet over the last half-century many meat, grain, and vegetable processing facilities shut down. Today, over half of registered agricultural operations in the state are small family owned farms and ranches, yet 97% of New Mexico’s agricultural products leave the state for processing such as the cold pasteurization which will be offered at the new facility, and the state spends $4 billion annually to import food products. This drains the pockets of our agricultural economies, according to NMSU. New momentum is brewing behind the revival of traditional agricultural industries in Northern New Mexico. A new generation of young farmers are returning to diversified, sustainable farming practices. Local governments and nonprofits are in the first stages of developing a network of supports for local food production, and Egolf hopes to lead the way.
“My goal is to foster and invigorate a local food economy,” Egolf tells SFR. “But it’s really about collaboration. It’s a concerted effort by many public officials and nonprofits to invest in local food. We are in somewhat of a resurgence of our local food economy, and it’s going to be amazing.” Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber favors the plan. “What this project does is to create a center of innovation to capture more of the value from the hard work of producing fruits and vegetables and livestock and by processing them more completely here. That value will stay here in Santa Fe and in New Mexico,” he tells SFR. Over the first decade, the facility expects to process nearly 500 million pounds of fresh food products, generating $2.5 billion of gross revenue for other food producers. High-pressure processing is a technology that uses chemical-free, cold pressure pasteurization techniques to preserve pre-packaged and prepared raw foods such as salsa, guacamole, hummus and bacon. It can extend the shelf life of products 10 to 30 times, allowing a product like pesto, for example, to stay on the shelf for up to 90 days.
NEWS
Even products made in New Mexico’s commercial kitchens cannot legally be sold at grocery stores or across state lines unless they are further preserved through pasteurization, chemical additives, fermentation or high-pressure processing. This means that most small producers of fresh food products can only sell directly at farmers markets. There are only 30 HPP facilities open to small producers in the US, and none in the Southwest. New Mexico Fresh Foods will allow small, local producers to get their products onto store shelves for the very first time. The company will not close the gap for small farmers struggling to get past the first hurdles of producing value added food items. However, there are other players making efforts towards bridging this gap. New Mexico Fresh Foods has partnered with the Santa Fe Community College to create a workforce training program. Camilla Bustamante, a SFCC dean whose departments include sustainability, professional studies and business, says part of the college’s long-term ambition is to develop a regional business accelerator for food production that will involve partnering with commercial kitchen facilities in Santa Fe and at Northern New Mexico College. The Santa Fe Food Policy Council is working with the coun county to develop an online platform, called AgriGate, that will serve as an infor information hub for farmers, producers and distribu distributors. Council coordinator Pam Roy tells SFR that the program is expected to launch in the next few months.

lizabeth Palma and her son, Anthony Benavidez, loved trips to the cinema. In early 2017 they enjoyed Disney’s live-action remake of “Cinder-
ella” together. It would be their last movie. Months later, Benavidez, 24, lay fatally wounded by police in a Santa Fe apartment that bore the marks of his isolating schizophrenia: walls painted black, aluminum foil covering a bedroom window, heavy blinds draped over another. City officials paid his family $400,000 to settle a civil lawsuit after the killing. The two shooting officers have admitted to serious missteps, but whether they broke the law when they shot him during

a SWAT standoff has never been fully determined. More than two years later, Palma, Anthony’s half-sister, Roseanne Lopez and his father, Phil Benavidez, are still waiting. A decision on the question came first in the spring, after First Judicial District Attorney Marco Serna had referred the case to a panel of three outside prosecutors. They determined the officers hadn’t committed a crime, and Serna said he wouldn’t charge the officers. In response to inquiries for this story from SFR and New Mexico In Depth and months after he made the same pledge to the family, Serna offered a tepid promise: The first-term Democratic DA running for Congress said he would appoint a special prosecutor to take a second look, but only if the family’s lawyers provided “additional information.” They contend they have done that; he disagrees.

The case isn’t closed, but it’s not much open, either. The morass spotlights a longstanding problem with how police shootings are handled in New Mexico, where officers have killed more people by population than in any other state three of the past four years, according to data collected by the Washington Post and analyzed by SFR and NMID. How district attorneys decide whether an officer’s action crosses over into criminal conduct in a shooting differs from one district to the next, and the processes are secretive. That sows distrust, especially in non-white communities, where the effects of over-policing nearly always hit hardest. Shooting reviews also can drag on, sometimes for years, leaving victims’ families and officers alike on tenterhooks. After they’re completed, those making

there needs to be that type of funding commitment,” Balderas says. An independent agency, wherever it’s housed, would cost significantly more than the $1.5 million Roybal Caballero proposed to set it up in 2017, he notes, though he did not suggest a figure. No one interviewed for this story suggested designing a system that results in more police prosecutions; rather, they all

recommendations to a DA aren’t required to describe how they reached their decisions. The current system represents an evolution from an earlier process that came after an SFR and NMID investigation in 2016. But the state hasn’t settled on a consistent way to handle police shooting reviews quickly and in a way people understand. Fourteen DAs practice in New Mexico; they’re all free to handle the reviews whatever way they like. It appears, however, that state lawmakers, civil rights advocates and even prosecutors are prepared to make a change. A centralized system—housed in the state Attorney General’s Office, somewhere else in state government, or in a whole new division—feels closer than ever. Rep. Patricia Roybal Caballero, D-Albuquerque, sponsored a bill in 2017 to place all reviews in the state Attorney General’s Office—a proposal that died in committee. She says it’s time to standardize how police shootings are reviewed across the state and she’s prepared to sponsor legislation again to do it. “That after all these years we still don’t have a uniform system absolutely demands a legislative solution,” says Roybal Caballero, who is Hispanic and a member of the Piro Manso Tiwa Pueblo. “The killing needs to stop and our communities need to be safe places. My sons are targets right now because of the color of their skin. I fear every single time my son is out and about in Albuquerque.” Phil Benavidez believes his son’s shooting would have been reviewed differently had Anthony been white with a “different last name.” “Santa Fe’s known as the City Different,” he says in a tearful interview in his daughter’s kitchen, “it shouldn’t be the city indifferent.” Serna says he understands the family’s concerns—especially the two-plus years the case has gone unresolved. “But I respectfully disagree that race had anything to do with how this has been handled,” he says. Still, Serna says he’s open to change. He supports the idea from Roybal Caballero’s long-dead bill: create a unit in the AG’s Office to handle all police shooting reviews, remove ambiguity from the process and speed it up. AG Hector Balderas also favors a single process for the state. He would be happy to bring a specialized police-shooting division into his office, he says, but only if the Legislature invests enough for him to do it right. “We are a Top-10 state in an area like loss of life in officer-involved shootings—
DIFFERENT BUT NOT BETTER More than three years ago, NMID and SFR examined this issue in detail and found many of the same problems—an unreliable, inconsistent batch of systems few people trusted. Most prosecutors reviewed police shootings for criminal conduct in-house; one automatically appointed a special prosecutor; and two, in Alamogordo and Santa Fe, used “investigative grand juries.” By then, Albuquerque judges had banned the investigative grand juries because of a pro-police bias and legally fragile underpinnings. Prosecutors had complete control, and the grand juries couldn’t indict officers even if they believed a crime occurred. Serna, like those he was running against in the Santa Fe DA’s race in 2016, vowed to abandon the grand juries and after he was elected chose the relatively new “DA panel” process. New Mexico DAs can ask the state District Attorneys Association to appoint a three-prosecutor panel to review a shooting. The aim is to avoid the perception that a local DA might go easy on police officers who help make their cases each day. Three other DAs use the same system as Serna, says Rick Tedrow, the 11th Judicial District Attorney who runs the panels for the association. Over the last three years, the panels have reviewed six cases in four districts, he says, recommending in each that the shooting officers be cleared. “I have mixed feelings about how it’s gone so far,” Tedrow says. “It’s unfunded, so it always comes down to finding time to get it done. It can be time consuming, and there’s been plenty of criticism of that. It could run smoother, but that would take money, and it doesn’t seem like there’s any of that coming.” Another thorny issue: The panels aren’t governed by state law, and DAs aren’t bound by their recommendations. “Like any new process, nothing’s perfect,” Serna tells NMID and SFR. “But I do think it’s the best system we’ve had. Unfortunately, they do take a while, but the DAs have extremely busy schedules, and they aren’t paid for this work.” Shannon Kennedy, an Albuquerque-based civil rights lawyer who represents Benavidez’ half-sister and father, says the panels present a deeper set of problems than the grand juries. “With the grand juries, once we got to see how they worked, we could see the biases, and we had a way to challenge the murky way in which they operated,” Kennedy says. “With the panels, we now face CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

infinite delays, no transparency in terms of how they reach their decisions and, in some cases, we’ve had to sign confidentiality agreements in order to get documents and other records while the panels did their work.” That amounts to a “gag order,” she says, adding that she believes prosecutors are intentionally delaying the reviews “until the information becomes stale and they can ride out another news cycle.” Serna says he can’t comment on transparency concerns about the panels because no one has raised the issue with him. Most prosecutors around the state still choose to review police shootings in their districts themselves; two are now automatically appointing special prosecutors. Regardless of the mechanism, police prosecutions are rare in New Mexico, as they are nationally. Two officers were tried in 2016 for murder in the killing of an Albuquerque homeless man—the first such prosecution in state memory. It ended in a hung jury. But a trial is exactly what Palma, Benavidez’ mother, wants. “For me, justice would be for those cops to get prosecuted and for the whole of Santa Fe to be more aware of mental illness before it gets to this point,” she says through tears. “I miss him, and I wish he was here today.” THE BENAVIDEZ SHOOTING—AND ITS MIRROR Benavidez’ father, Phil, says his son’s IQ was once measured at 155. He plowed through the first Harry Potter book at age 5. He scored well above his peers on diagnostic math tests. His sister, Roseanne Lopez, says her brother loved Eminem and spent most holidays at her Albuquerque home. “He was always around here,” she says, then stops, pauses, and adds that the pain of losing him hasn’t lessened in the two years since he was killed.

Prolonged reviews leave police wondering about their jobs and freedom after on-duty shootings, says an attorney who represents officers.
In the months before his shooting his illness had worsened, his family says, and he wasn’t good at taking his medication—even when they could afford the $500-apiece prescriptions. In July 2017, he was evicted from his apartment for not paying rent. Deputies took him to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center for a psychiatric evaluation. Benavidez left the hospital with a social worker he knew, then disappeared. The social worker visited the apartment a few days later. Benavidez came out and stabbed the man. The SFPD SWAT team showed up, escalating the situation, and Benavidez tossed a propane tank tied to fireworks and a tube filled with a bleach-like substance out of the apartment at officers. After a lengthy standoff, officers Jeramie Bisagna, Luke Wakefield and Nick Wood stormed the apartment, using a metal rod to smash a window. Wakefield was wearing sunglasses, which he later
SFREPORTER.COM
admitted to State Police investigators was a “horrible idea,” given the darkness inside the apartment. Bisagna imagined he saw a gun in Benavidez’ hand, though none was found at the scene. Wakefield screamed at Benavidez to show his hands; Bisagna emptied his magazine into the apartment—16 shots— and Wakefield fired once with his rifle. Benavidez was struck four times and died soon thereafter. It’s impossible to see whether Benavidez posed a threat to the officers as they opened fire through the window from their positions outside the building. That’s because Bisagna’s camera might have been the only one pointed in Benavidez’ direction, but he inexplicably turned it off seconds before approaching the apartment—apparently in violation of SFPD policy. Both officers remain on the force and each has been promoted since the shooting, Bisagna to sergeant and Wakefield
to detective. A department spokesman says an internal affairs investigation into whether they violated policies the day of the shooting is “still active.” That’s left the officers in limbo, wondering about their jobs and whether they’ll be prosecuted, says Thomas Grover, Bisagna’s attorney and a former officer himself. And that’s one of the problems with the DA reviews taking longer and longer, Grover says. “Absolutely, we need a system that’s the same around the state,” he says. “This buffet-style review system we have now is not working for officers, either. … It’s like waiting for a diagnosis from the doctor over a significant concern you have, that never seems to come.” State Police investigated the Benavidez shooting for 10 months before handing the case off to the DA panel, which took nearly a year to arrive at its conclusion that the officers shouldn’t be prosecuted.
THE AG? THE PUBLIC DEFENDERS? The federal government does not track fatal police shootings. So the Washington Post began doing so in 2015, following heightened national awareness and tensions around police violence after a white officer shot a black man to death in Ferguson, Missouri. NMID and SFR’s analysis of the Post’s data reveals the scope of New Mexico’s problem: In 2015, it ranked second for fatal police shootings per 1 million people. In 2016, 2017 and 2018, New Mexico ranked first. To date this year, New Mexico ranks sixth. Those numbers have concerned Roybal Caballero, the Albuquerque Democrat, for years. Her 2017 bill, which would have created a statewide unit in the AG’s Office for police shooting reviews, found some support early on during the legislative session that year, but it failed. “It didn’t end up being about resis-

tance from my colleagues,” Roybal Caballero continues. “It was more that the DAs and the AG were saying: ‘Let us work through this process and find solutions ourselves.’ And of course the bill didn’t go anywhere, and I really don’t know what ever came of the DAs’ efforts. It’s clear now that there’s an imperative for the Legislature to address this.” It’s not clear whether lawmakers will get that chance. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a first-term Democrat, controls what legislators will consider for the upcoming 30-day session that starts in January. Her office said she was open to an interview for this story, but did not respond to requests to schedule one. Balderas says the Legislature should decide how to set up a statewide unit— whether it’s in his office, another area of state government or something brand new.
The truth will always be elusive. But we absolutely need a uniform process, especially with such high rates of police violence around the state. And we need something that the public can trust, at least a little more. -Shannon Kennedy, civil rights attorney COURTESY PHOTO
The panel worked in secret, and none of the three DAs will comment publicly about how they reached their conclusion. A single paragraph in the panel’s seven-page findings letter is the public’s only glimpse. Serna won’t discuss it either, saying he needs to keep the review at arm’s length to avoid any conflicts. He is open to appointing a special prosecutor for a second look, he says, and has not ordered the case closed. That means the case is now 26 months old, and there’s no end in sight. A five-year-old Albuquerque case makes that space of time seem short. APD officer Jeremy Dear shot Mary Hawkes to death April 14, 2014. Her family, also represented by Kennedy, is waiting, too. Bernalillo County DA Raul Torrez assigned the case to a special prosecutor in 2017, the stated preference on his official website. (Torrez, who was also one of the prosecutors on the panel that reviewed the Benavidez shooting, did not respond to multiple requests for an interview for this story.) Two and a half years later, the special prosecutor recommended no charges. Six months after that, last October, Torrez sent the case to a DA panel for a second look. The panel has not reached a conclusion. “It’s an open wound for that family, and they relive it again every April 14,” Kennedy says. “The truth will always be elusive. But we absolutely need a uniform process, especially with such high rates of police violence around the state. And we need something that the public can trust, at least a little more.”
Attorney General Hector Balderas favors a statwide unit to investigate fatal police shootings and make sure it’s fully funded.
But he warns that New Mexico’s habit of “funding public safety and criminal justice the way they fund capital outlay,” on an individual, case-by-case basis, won’t work for police shooting reviews. “That’s why I’m cautioning the Legislature: Don’t fund another area of need this way. Let’s modernize sufficient funding so that there’s full coverage among multiple jurisdictions.” Proper funding and a division to review police shootings would have another benefit, as well, he says. Creating “a just and robust system that satisfies the crisis need of the community ... would also increase officer safety,” Balderas says. A system led by the AG’s office isn’t the only idea.
In a July 29 op-ed published in the New York Times, Joshua Michtom, an assistant public defender at the Connecticut Office of the Chief Public Defender, argues that perhaps prosecutors, with their inherent coziness with law enforcement, shouldn’t be involved at all. Micthom points out that non-white communities generally trust the police less. “If mayors, police chiefs and legislatures are serious about instilling real faith in these communities, they should hand over full control of investigations to the one group of lawyers used to treating the police in an adversarial fashion, all of them experts in police rules and procedures: public defenders,” he writes. In a telephone interview from Hartford, Michtom tells SFR and NMID he intended the piece as a conversation starter, a way to at least clear a path for removing decisions on police shooting prosecutions from local DAs. “How often would a system like that lead to convictions? That’s not really the question,” he says. “It’s more important that it appears fair.” Kennedy, the civil rights lawyer, called the idea “brilliant” and said putting public defenders in charge could also remove the fraught politics DAs encounter in police shooting cases. Bennett Baur, New Mexico’s chief public defender, says his department is resource-strapped. Baur was held in contempt in Lovington in 2016 after refusing to take on new indigent clients, saying he couldn’t uphold his oath as a lawyer because of a crushing caseload. Still, Baur, in better budget times these days, says he likes the principle Michtom floated. “Maybe this is a way to end up with some sort of commission, like the way we choose mediators,” he says. “The PDs and the AG choose people—there are enough lawyers in the state to do this—and it could be made up of different interests and agendas. Either way, and our office maybe could do this if there were funding, I absolutely favor uniformity around the state. It’s ridiculous that it takes a year or longer for these reviews.” Even Balderas says he’s “not closed to” letting the public defenders take over. Phil Benavidez and his daughter, Roseanne Lopez, know that even an improved, uniform system for reviewing police shootings won’t bring Anthony back. “He was a special human being,” Lopez says of her brother. “I just hope this never happens to an innocent person again.”

Problem Solving STEM Santa Fe wants to ensure no young scientist is left behind BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl
G
rowing up in Beirut, Lebanon, Lina S Germann loved school and excelled in science and math. While her family didn’t understand her scholastic aspirations, Germann persisted, eventually moving to the United States and earning a Ph.D in chemistry. When she founded STEM Santa Fe in 2016, she was dually motivated by her own experiences and accomplishments as a scientist, as well as her direct observations of the need to provide resources to encourage and educate Northern New Mexico students—particularly underrepresented ones. Today, her organization mounts programs geared at inspiring the next generation to enter science, technology, mathematics and engineering fields. Germann grew up receiving the message that “you’re not pretty enough, you’re such a tomboy, you’re so defiant, no one will marry you and it’s a good thing you’re smart because you’ll need to
support yourself as an old maid,” she tells SFR. As it happened, she liked school and her grades in math and science qualified her for a scholarship to the best university in Beirut. “I wanted to be an engineer, but my dad said, ‘that’s not for girls.’” When she said she would major in chemistry instead, he asked, “‘What will you do with that?’ My parents never finished middle school; they didn’t know what any of it meant.” As her friends began applying to universities in the US, Germann followed suit, eventually receiving a full ride to pursue a doctoral degree in chemistry in Boston. When she explained to her father, again, that doing so would allow her to teach, her parents supported her move, but, she says, it was because they thought, “she’ll never get married, we might as well support her to get a better paying job.” Coming to the US and pursuing her education, however, “opened a lot of doors to me. My life changed,” she says. After graduation, Germann met her husband, a fellow scientist, and the two ended up in New Mexico. Raising her children here provided her first-hand observation of the dearth of STEM education for local students, “especially for girls,” she says. “I feel like I’m back home.” Her advocacy led her to start STEM Santa Fe. Through the organization’s program at Capital High School, STEM Scaffold, “we work with the average student, students who are the first in the family to potentially go to college.” The program is project based—anything from coding
to engineering to art—with mentorship from STEM professionals. The organization has approximately 500 volunteers from the national labs, universities and local tech businesses. “Our mission is to really advocate for the STEM jobs out there, but also to focus on the STEM skills,” she says, “because whatever coding language we teach them now might not be needed later, but we teach them problem-solving, and the joy of discovering and learning.” Another program, STEM Pathways for Girls, kicks off with a one-day conference Oct. 5 for 200 fifth-to-eighth grade girls, followed by monthly workshops. “The girls get to see other girls just like them,” Germann says, which counters the isolation they might feel at school. “And all the workshops are presented and led by women in STEM … not only telling them about the project, but also about their journey.” STEM Santa Fe also participates in the national Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival (named after a pioneering female mathematician), where participants explore math problems, games, puzzles and other activities. This summer, STEM Santa Fe partnered with the Chicago-based Brave Initiatives and brought 18 middle school and high school girls together for a week to focus on app development, and entered their creations into the Congressional App Challenge (congressionalappchallenge.us). The attendees put together proposals for apps ranging from sourcing sustainable building materials to eating healthily to diversity in literature. “I came home so proud of these girls and how much they’d learned in one week and the topics they’d chosen,” Germann notes. “They really are inspiring.” The summer camp was new, and Germann says she hopes to run it again, but also always is looking at existing programs elsewhere to try to bring those opportunities here.

provides support to teachers in charge of students competitions, such as the New Mexico Electric Car Challenge and RoboRave International. “I believe we need to promote more competition in STEM,” she says, for team building and goal setting. But also, she notes, “there is a lot of attention to sports competition and I want there to be the same attention given to STEM.” She credits the Santa Fe Public Schools for responding to that mission and starting to provide business to the academic clubs for their competitions. “We’re trying to change the culture,” she says. “We need to expect kids to rise to a high standard.” 2019 STEM PATHWAYS FOR GIRLS CONFERENCE HOSTED BY STEM SANTA FE Open to Northern New Mexico girls in 5th through 8th grades, Oct. 5, Santa Fe Community College, 6401 Richards Ave To participate as a presenter, exhibitor or volunteer, go to: http://stemsantafe.org/ programs/spfg/2019-spfg-conference

Y’see, way back in 1924, a local artist named Will Shuster created Zozobra, a li’l old paper doll meant to signify the doom and gloom we experience all year. With some buds, he burned that fool to death to relinquish the sadsies and, since then, that tiny thing has grown to the massive monster us Santa Feans know and love today. You’ll have to visit thw website burnzozobra.com for deeper details, but know also that Zozo’s fashion sense has been time warping through decades in recent years, and this year finds him in ’70s duds.

MUSIC SAT/31 ¡FANTASTICO! OK, so technically this one falls under the header of Santa Fe Music Week, about which we’ve already raved, but the upcoming (and fully free) Fantastic Negrito show is worth mentioning all on its own. We’re talking a winner of NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series and a musician raised Muslim on the East Coast whose move to California’s Bay Area just before his teenage years left an indelible mark on his creativity. A car crash and disastrous major label deal later, Fantastic Negrito is now the celebrated multi-instrumentalist you know and love. Yeah, it’s been a long road for Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz, but with a little bit of rock and a whole lot of throwbacky blues and funk influence, it’s no wonder he’s remained in the hearts and minds of music fans.

Weeks On Weeks On Weeks The second year of Santa Fe’s Music Week is just the beginning In case you haven’t been checking out SFR’s bursting culture calendar recently, there’s a lot of music going on in town on a daily basis, but since the city’s tourism office wanted to put together a li’l thang to help promote those shows while activating artists to get more involved, we figured you’d want to know. “The whole idea is to put some spotlights on what Santa Fe does every day,” Randy Randall, executive director of Tourism Santa Fe tells SFR. Thus, 27 venues scattered across the city and county—from the Santa Fe Opera in the north to Madrid’s Mine Shaft Tavern in the south—are featured in the second-ever Santa Fe Music Week. Most venues include acts already scheduled, but the city has also put together special events to round out the festivities. “During the week, there will be mariachi [on the Plaza] from 3-4 pm,” Randall says. “We’re also bringing back the Bandstand concept for the week. From 5:30-7 pm, there’ll be different entertainment each night.” That’s right, Santa Fe—just when you thought those summer nights of dance and camaraderie on the Plaza were done,

the city puts together an encore. For free. Other noteworthy events include a screening at the Lensic of the Bill and Bonnie Hearne tribute film New Mexico Rain on Wednesday August 28 and a performance by the gentle, folksy Bill Callahan (of Smog) at Meow Wolf on Tuesday September 3. Special event lanyards are available at any of the downtown visitor’s centers and participating venues. Besides being a cool souvenir, these come with perks like discounted drinks and waived cover charges at various locations. Finally, as if this week weren’t enough, it’s just one of many the city hopes to organize in the coming years. “Restaurant, film, art, literature week—the city is embarking on a series of weeks, if you will,” Randall adds. So if, for some outlandish reason, music just isn’t your thing—stay tuned. You’re sure to find something to enjoy.

Born and raised on the Southside of Santa Fe, Jose Ortiz moved for college and a career that kept him away for 40 years. Decades later, he is back in his hometown and living on the Southside again in a neighborhood with a coveted city community garden named Colonia Prisma (find more info at santafenm.gov/parks_recreation). An avid gardener for most of his life, Ortiz is the mayordomo of this tiny, seven-plot garden. (Katherine Lewin)
last concert of the season! santafebotanicalgarden.org
Where did you grow up on the Southside and how do you think it’s changed? Agua Fria. There’s a lot of different types of businesses out there now, not so much more people. A lot of the older houses are still there but everybody’s fixed them up. My dad’s house, somebody bought it and I didn’t recognize it when I went in there. They completely gutted it. But [the Southside is] not that much denser. But there are a lot more trees. This whole airport area, there was nothing here. All of it was was dirt. You left Cerrillos Road and it was dirt all the way up to the airport. No trees, hardly even weeds. It was so bad. It’s changed dramatically. How long have you been mayordomo and what are some of the challenges and changes you’ve seen? This is my second year. In our couple of streets here, there are not a whole lot [of families] but there are more than there were when we first started. I think back on some of the other streets there are more [families] because we’re seeing more and more kids come into the park. That’s a really, really good thing. We were hoping this year to expand ... but I had a really hard time just getting the seventh gardener so it didn’t make any sense. Do you think that Colonia Prisma is a concept that could be done on a larger scale to feed more families? It could. It’s gonna take people getting interested in doing it and finding out what they can get from it because there is so much food there. In a space like this, If we were to expand it, you could feed quite a few families if they really got into it. You can see how densely we grow stuff here.

Howl Chaz John’s ‘Rez Dogs’ series continues to stun BY ALEX DE VORE @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
ing the moods, lives and even visceral violence of dogs. John even sticks to the main colors dogs can perceive: “Blue and grey and muddy brown,” he says. Take the piece “A Frybread Deer,” a roughly 5-by-5 foot piece that finds ferocious mutts tackling a stag. In the background, clouds and mountains swirl atop earthy Southwest lands; in the air, sunflowers waft, though John says they’re representative of an earlier genus of the flower long-since lost to the massive, singular blooms we know today. The flowers find their way to other pieces as well, like “Two Rez Dogs and a Coyote.” “Sunflowers were domesticated in this area,” John explains. “They grew into the big mammoths we see and are used in ceremonies. Symbols like that, I think, are very powerful.” Symbolically, John says, the use of the sunflowers is quite similar to that of the rez dogs themselves, and both are meant to portray or at least question his own feelings surrounding his identity. “I think it was … coming more to terms with the European side of myself,” he tells SFR. “These dogs specifically are the indigenous dogs from this area, and they COURTESY ELLSWORTH GALLERY
f there’s one thing artist Chaz Johns (Winnebago, Mississippi Band Choctaw and European) proved after his residency at the Institute of American Indian Arts last year, it’s that fine art need not be humorless. John’s series Rez Dogs merged his training from the school, Victorian canine and hunting painting and a dose of tongue-in-cheek subversion alongside a figurative and narrative dissection of the concept of rez dogs. But what exactly is a rez dog? On the one hand, they can be defined simply as strays, solo dogs and packs of dogs who live on and around Native reservations across the country and a bizarre mix of resourceful, tank-like creature, adorable
animal and sometimes violent, mythic beasts. “Growing up, I always remember having these dogs run at you, these packs of rez dogs, and being overwhelmed and excited by it,” John recalls. “Because I’m mixed, European and Native, I think that over time, focusing on this project and realizing it, it was indigenizing Victorian English paintings. Maybe it’s my own lens, my own blend of those things, how I saw rez dogs and what I feel from them, but the whole project is also based on my dog—I just thought it would be so funny to make paintings just for him, his species, subvert the project. That’s why they’re hung so low.” Indeed, at John’s first showing at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Art, and at the current exhibit Rez Dogs II at Ellsworth Gallery, John installs the dog portraiture pieces—hysterical renditions of various canines presented in ornate, oval faux gold frames—down low along the wall, at eye level for the dogs themselves. Elsewhere, in larger pieces, John continues the lampooning of Victorian work, paying homage but also deconstructing and indigenizing the form while examin-
“Two Rez Dogs and a Coyote” from Chaz John’s current and final showing of the Rez Dogs series.
were the first pack animal, the first beasts of burden for a lot of tribes. Then the European breeds, these genetically altered creatures, came over, and there was this inter-mixing; these dogs are almost living in two worlds at the same time, and that’s kind of the way a lot of Indigenous people see themselves.” John also added ceramics to the mix for the Ellsworth Gallery exhibit, a first in his career. Learning from and working with master ceramicist Daisy Quezada at IAIA, he crafted molds to work with porcelain, “a huge challenge because it’s touchy clay,” he says. Similar to the paintings, John used a restrictive color palette of blue, yellow and muddy brown. The dogs themselves are represented in a sheer, porcelain white, the colors appearing as dots and smudges across their bodies. Included are cans of Vienna sausages, both outside and hidden within the pieces, as a bit of a joke. “It’s funny,” he says, “but it’s also about survival. Either way, if you get hungry, you can always break the sculptures and eat the sausages.” And then, at the center of the exhibit, stands the one piece not for sale—the skeleton of a rez dog itself acquired from a friend at Zuni Pueblo. John regularly changes out dying sunflowers in the piece, and frybread slowly goes stale, curling up and in on itself. John says his ultimate goal for the piece is a permanent home at the The American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog in New York City. For now, though, it’s his favorite. Sadly, however, the time of Rez Dogs is coming to an end. John has a number of commissions left to complete, but says he’s ready for his next project— something to do with the Civil War and the South, though he’s staying tightlipped for now. Either way, the time to see the work of Chaz Johns is now. REZ DOGS II Through Oct. 15. Ellsworth Gallery, 215 E Palace Ave., 989-7900

n a light and sunny space over on Guadalupe Street, one you’ve driven and walked by a million times but maybe never noticed, mixed media artist Alberto Elias Zalma has just knocked out a useless closet and erected a single wall. “Can you do that here?” I ask him, concerned about his landlords. “I mean, I did it,” he answers, smiling broadly. Zalma has been in the space known as the Zalma Lofton Gallery just under two years. That anniversary goes down next month, but the concept itself stretches back much farther to Zalma’s friend James Lofton, an artist’s artist who died in 2012. “He’s the one who really pushed me to get with art, to push it farther,” Zalma explains. “He was always a mentor, he always gave me ideas, and a lot of times, those ended up being really cool pieces.” Close since elementary school, Zalma and Lofton first conceived of a gallery in high school. Zalma says they passed in and out of each other’s lives for years, becoming roommates, renting studio space together and always friends. But in 2007, fate would take Zalma to Wisconsin—where he’d also meet his wife—and to Maui, Hawaii, where he’d work in tile and become a professional, paid artist for the first time ever. While he was selling work on the street, a representative from the Wyland Galleries chain noticed and immediately brought Zalma on.
“I was killing it there for a minute,” he recalls. “I was just making art and collecting checks in the mail. It was surreal.” The good times only lasted til 2010, however, when the gallery closed and Zalma wound up back in Santa Fe. He and his then-girlfriend would split briefly (don’t sweat, though, they’re together now and have kids and everything), and he describes the subsequent time as one of his darkest. But then things started changing. Zalma joined with the rock/reggae act Boom Roots Collective and cemented his signature style of visual art—a mix of acrylic, collage, ink and graphite that can most easily be called Posada-like skeletons meets Catholicism. For his part, Zalma is not personally religious, though he did grow up Jewish; his grandmother on his mother’s side was a devout Catholic, and the iconography and artistry he’d observe in church from time to time always stuck with him. “It’s creepy,” he says, “but powerful.” By 2017, Zalma had a strong and distinct style and portfolio, he was back with his wife and had children and he finally realized the vision he’d shared with his friend those many years ago. The space on Guadalupe was the first he visited, and it’s since become a bit of betting on himself and a sort of temple to the spirit he shared with Lofton. “Even that logo,” he says, motioning to the image on the window, “is the one we designed.”

this production’s star). The other half is a military drama concerning the titular Henry (a regal Paul Walsky) and his son, the rebellious Prince Hal (Noah Segard), who are at odds with Hotspur, played by Geoffrey Pomeroy. A quick note about Pomeroy: should anyone casting anything in Santa Fe or beyond ever need someone who positively seethes, this is your man. There is a constant churning just under his skin in every role I’ve seen him play, and these two productions make great use of it. Admittedly, and particularly due to the choice of presenting this three-hour play uncut, it sometimes moves with slowness to the point of dragging. It’s not
LYNN ROYLANCE
ikely the only thing harder than watching six hours’ worth of Shakespeare in two days is performing 12 hours of Shakespeare in four days. I did the former; the cast of Henry IV, Part I and Measure for Measure does the latter. The International Shakespeare Center has embarked upon a repertory season with two uncut Shakespeare plays performed by the same formidable cast—perhaps the first project of its kind in Santa Fe, and certainly an impressive one either way. Henry IV, Part I, directed by Ariana Karp, is perhaps the slower of the two, though half of it centers around a lively Falstaff (played by Marty Madden, easily
by any fault of the cast, but the lengthy scenes of conversation about military logistics, place names and people names bog down a group that can otherwise fly. And fly they do in scenes like those featuring Falstaff, one of Shakespeare’s most reliable sources of comic relief. So stay tuned for those, as well as for the battle scene at the end; having local stage combat expert extraordinaire Ambrose Ferber in the cast and readily available to choreograph smart scenes of physical violence (and comedy, for that matter) served these productions well, and when the Battle of Shrewsbury sees armies charging each other from opposite corners of the room, the cinematic aspect of the big cast (it definitely felt like more than 17 people) was highly effective. Another notable performer was Santa Fe newcomer Breshaun Birene Joyner, who portrayed a tender Lady Percy to Pomeroy’s spiny Hotspur. From the moment she walks onstage she commands attention, exuding a quiet confidence even in less prominent roles. In Measure for Measure, meanwhile, her turn as Provost saw her onstage and flexing her muscles—and I hope to see much more of her in Santa Fe’s theaters. Speaking of Measure for Measure (from director Caryl Farkas), while I found both productions well presented, this is the one I’d pick if I could choose only one ticket. In a sickeningly applicable the-more-things-change-the-morethey-stay-the-same kind of story, we see Claudio (Alex Reid, an animated pleasure to watch) having impregnated the “forni-

catress” (best word ever) Julietta, played by Zoe Burke. Claudio is to be beheaded for this crime, and he begs his sister, the nun Isabella (brava to Mairi Chanel), to plead with Angelo, deputy to the Duke of Vienna, for his life. But Angelo (the aforementioned seething Geoffrey Pomeroy) takes a shine to Isabella, and says if she does un-nunly things with him, he’ll pardon Claudio … adding in the kicker that if Isabella tells anyone, no one will ever believe her. Throw in the wily Duke Vincentio of Vienna himself, portrayed by Ariana Karp, who disguises himself as a friar to better understand his subjects and finds himself smack in the middle of this drama as it unfolds. Karp is luminous in the role, lending an even more prismatic nature to one of Shakespeare’s more complicated dark sociopolitical dramas. There is actually a lot of comedy in this play, despite its dastardly themes. And with lively performances by Kelly Kiernan as Pompey and Dylan Marshall as Lucio, it clips along at a comfortable pace, though it clocks in at only about 20 minutes shorter than Henry IV. A note on costumes: When I saw a preview on Theatre Santa Fe’s Facebook page that noted slightly zany costuming choices, calling them “whimsical and eccentric”—call me cynical, but I read this as “probably insufferable.” Aha! Not so. I was totally charmed by Ali Olhausen’s unique and perhaps flamboyant eye in costuming this piece, from Pompey’s snakeskin leggings and the Provost’s sparkly stiletto boots, paired with occasionally more classical-looking pieces to remind us that this is indeed Shakespeare. It worked masterfully (not to mention it’s coupled with Olhausen’s impressive performance onstage as Mariana). If you are ready to sit still and listen closely for three hours, Henry IV is your ticket; if you want to be enraged by a plot but enchanted by aesthetics, Measure is for you. And ultimately, everyone in this cast deserves a milkshake and a nap.
HENRY IV, PART I 7:30 pm Friday Aug. 30, Thursday Sept. 5 and Saturday Sept. 7; 2 pm Sunday Sept. 1. MEASURE FOR MEASURE 7:30 pm Thursday Aug. 29, Saturday Aug. 31 and Friday Sept. 6; 2 pm Sunday Sept. 8. The costumes in Measure for Measure are weird, but they totally work. Especially the footwear. Just trust us on this.

Smoke and mirrors at Sassella BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

hen the initial reports came through that Sazon was closed due to a fire, I was sad. A summer without a bowl of sopa de amor is not a summer at all—but then came news that its owners Lawrence and Suzanna Becerra and chef Fernando Olea were planning to open a new restaurant, along with former El Nido chef Cristian Pontiggia, with their eyes on a big prize. The restaurant is Sassella (225 Johnson St., 982-6734), which opened in July, and the prize, as Lawrence Bacella recently told the Santa Fe New Mexican, is earning a Michelin star, adding “Sazón should be a Michelin star, but they don’t focus on Mexican. Italian, they do.” That’s a bold opener. And not entirely true. Michelin stars are the gold standard of restaurants. The Michelin guide didn’t make it to the US until 2006, and since then only 15 restaurants have achieved its coveted three-star status. Earning one or two stars is no sneeze, either, and within those ranks one will surely find Mexican cuisine: Californios in San Francisco has a two-star rating, and Rick Bayless’ Topolobompo in Chicago as well as Casa Enrique, Claro and Oxomoco in New York City all boast one little twinkler. So, it’s not true that Michelin doesn’t focus on Mexican cuisine. For local restaurants aiming for the big prize, it isn’t recognizing one cuisine and not another that’s the problem, it’s the fact that Michelin guides are not published for Santa Fe. Nor anywhere near it. Sazon
may be deserving of a star, but currently New York City, Chicago, Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco are the only US cities in which the notoriously secret reviewers operate. Anyhow, it was all this big talk that had me waiting a bit after Sassella’s opening to visit. If this restaurant is opening with the intent of being good enough for a Michelin star, I wanted to be sure that the menu, setting and service had time to groove. Sassella’s website highlights the accomplishments of its chef and part-owner Pontiggia, who hails from a town near Sassella, Italy. Pontiggia has worked, it says, in Michelin starred restaurants, received many awards, and his schooling includes “a culinary degree that certifies him as a Doctor of Enogastronomy.” Enogastronomy, by the way, is a fancy word for “the art or science of good eating.” Excited to try what a Doctor of Good Eating had in store, my friend and I set our bags on Sassella’s generously-offered purse stools and prepared for greatness. Starting with drinks, we found a good selection of Italian wines but strangely, not one that gives you much of a break for a bottle. We settled on a crisp Sardinian Vermentino that, at $18 per glass, basically added up to the bottle’s $70 list price. While I understand wine markups as part of the business of restaurant-ing, I noted to myself that I had recently picked up a similar bottle for $12. We started with the zuppa fredda d’asparagi ($25), a chilled asparagus soup with, according to the menu, Alaskan lobster in a “spiraled potato basket,” and the cacio y pepe ($17),
something near-impossible with inventive food? Or were we being sold a line with nothing more than a pretty price tag as proof? As we waited nearly 25 minutes for our next courses to arrive, I took a tour through the restaurant, its walls bedecked with mirrors, and I began to feel like I was being had; that Sassella was maybe nothing more than smoke and (lots and lots of ) mirrors. The mar nero ($26), squid ink spaghetti with tiger shrimp, arugula, tomatoes and roasted garlic in white wine sauce, came swirled in a sea of rich butter, the prawns cooked tender and sweet. The cacciucco alla livornese ($38), a seafood bouillabaisse in a tomato, pesto, garlic, and white wine sauce, featured a sauce so thick it could be eaten with a fork. It was also so rich in acid and spice that it overpowered the delicate seafood flavors within it. I had to remove a couple of unopened mussels and, with no dish in which to dispose of them, attempted to place them in the crook between my bowl and plate, leaving my eating space a splattered mess. Anyone who has had the pleasure of eating at a Michelin starred restauD IL W rant knows it will be worth the BY B I Z pretty penny it costs; sitting in a space unlike you’ve ever experienced, eating food transformed by expert preparations you can hardly imagine and with service so inventive it transcends the word; an experience of inspired ingenuity, not smoke, mirrors and big prices. Sassela, if it wants to rise to the Michelin rank—or even claim to be worthy—has a lot of work to do. ER
Bowl of Confusion
a classic pasta dish of cheese, butter and black pepper. Cacio y pepe is deceptively difficult to master, and I was excited to try a high-level interpretation. The fist-sized ball of hand-cut pasta was chewy and rustic but the cheesy, peppery coating was pasty, as though it were missing the all-important ingredient of pasta water that thins it into an actual sauce. The soup was pretty, with a fresh asparagus and herb flavor, but it was the “Alaskan lobster” that threw me off— mainly because it doesn’t exist. Thinking maybe I was just miseducated, I inquired among some chef friends who specialize in seafood who confirmed there is no such thing. So what is it that we’re being sold in a $25 bowl of soup? As of this writing, it’s off the menu, but at the time, I was becoming uncomfortable about Sassella. Was this truly a restaurant looking to achieve

+ GOTTSAGEN
AND LABEOUF; THE LANDSCAPES - THE “LOVE” STORY; THE SUDDEN ENDING
Filmmakers Tyler Nilson and Mike Schwartz attempt to update the Mark Twain/Huck Finn formula with The Peanut Butter Falcon, a terribly sweet but ultimately middling folktale journey with some notable performances and an overall lack of impact. Young Zak (newcomer Zack Gottsagen) is in his 20s and yearning to breathe free, but stuck in a North Carolina nursing home due to his Down syndrome and a lack of appropriate facilities. He rightfully hates the place and repeatedly tries to escape from his caregiver Eleanor (Fifty Shades of Grey alum Dakota Johnson), but when his roommate Carl (whose three lines are delivered by the legendary Bruce Dern) helps him flee by night, Zak finally puts some distance between himself and the glorified prison. Shortly after, he meets Tyler (Shia LaBeouf ), a ne’er-do-well fisherman sort reeling from the recent death of his beloved brother through self-destructive theft and petty vandalism. Together, they decide to head south: to a North Carolina wrestling school for Zak, and to Jupiter, Florida, for Tyler. Cue montages to southern folk and Americana

tunes: the hasty building of a junker raft as Zak and Tyler form a brotherly bond each was sorely missing; a blind and black wise man practicing that old time relijun; and conflict in the form of violent fishermen wronged by Tyler and out for blood (John Hawkes and Yelawolf, both barely in the thing). The Peanut Butter Falcon does well in quiet moments when LaBeouf and Gottsagen play off one another and have room to stretch out. But the needless addition of a love story angle feels trite and tired, particularly since LaBeouf’s performance is top-notch and his character is so much more interesting on his own or with Gottsagen than with Johnson. As Zak, Gottsagen is wonderful as well, his onscreen instincts sharp and a mix of shy vulnerability and lack of shame coming together for a naturally endearing combo. Elsewhere, surprising turns from former pro wrestlers Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Mick
“Mankind” Foley feel heartfelt if a tad brief, and though Thomas Haden Church as Zak’s hero, the Saltwater Redneck, is shockingly short—which is seemingly Church’s role in Hollywood at large— it’s almost moving enough to steal the show. But it’s honestly the sweeping panoramas of deltas, sounds and seaside grasslands that make the most impact, and any marquee could read “The Peanut Butter Falcon starring the Coastal American South.” Sadly, though, Nilson and Schwartz seem to feel audiences wouldn’t connect without shoehorned hormones, and the credits roll before we’re ready, leaving precious little time to digest what happened and leaving more questions than answers. THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON Directed by Nilson and Schwartz With Gottsagen, LaBeouf, Johnson and Dern Regal (both locations), Violet Crown, PG-13, 93 min.

world while maintaining its stranglehold on the people. Rojo is a tough sell, the slowest of burns playing out in offices and conference rooms and among teens searching desperately for a moral compass and finding none. Naishtat takes thing so slowly in Rojo’s intro act, where lulls are common, but in reading between the lines and charging ever forward, one might find both a severe history lesson and stark morality play unfolding and landing with satisfying oomph. Grandinetti positively owns the screen after a point, a terrifying yet normal-seeming family man capable of chilling heartlessness. Elsewhere, Alfredo Castro as a detective carrying the dangling sword of justice wows in his interactions with Grandinetti. In other words, this one’s for the dialogue fans and the patient, for those in search of deeper and darker meaning than a more visceral film might supply. It’s a bit of a long walk to get there, and multiple viewings might be necessary to catch everything going on, but Naishtat’s script and direction wind up being quite powerful, and the squirming in one’s seat makes the ultimate payoff feel well-earned.

POLITICAL; GRANDINETTI
- SOMETIMES TOO SLOW
There’s a moment in the first act of Rojo from Argentinian filmmaker Benjamín Naishtat that would almost let us believe things are about to get crazy. During a familial board game night at the home of Claudio (Darío Grandinetti), a friend posits that the only way to deal with a fly is to repeatedly shoo it away the very moment it lands. “They run out of breath like we do,” he says, insisting that the fly will eventually tire and be ripe for the kill. And given the film’s premise—that a lawyer with a dark secret must come to terms with his actions in a country rife with corruption—we almost think it’ll be applicable and that a bunch of exciting things are about to happen. Instead, while Grandinetti’s Claudio doesn’t get much respite throughout the film, it’s a psychological torture doled out slowly in 1975 Argentina. It’s a time and place when corruption runs deep, where a member of higher society might have done something awful but can continue on in life unabated; where someone’s disappearance means shady business dealings and brazen, public looting; where the government readily showcases progress to the

+ DAMN, BRUCE HAS SOME JAMS - LEANS TOO HEAVILY INTO CUTE; KALRA IS BORING
In the midst of Thatcher’s jobless 1980s Britain, a teeanged Pakistani boy struggles to find his place and voice in Blinded by the Light from director Gurinder Chadha (Bend it Like Beckham), a heavy-handed love letter to Bruce Springsteen based on a true story. It’s 1987, and Javed (Viveik Kalra) hates his small industrial town of Luton, England, a tale he tells through secret poetry and not-so-secret lyrics written for his dick-ish neighbor and only friend, Matt (Dean-Charles Chapman), whose hair tells us he’s apparently in some kind of Flock of Seagulls-esque band. When the synth pop of the day doesn’t cut it for Javed, however, a new chum turns him on to The Boss, and every dang thing he’s been feeling comes pouring out in all of its rock glory, seemingly just for him. Cue obsession. Javed spends the rest of the movie dressing, talking and acting like Springsteen, even going so far as to recite lyrics at people alongside egregious, endless eye contact—an act everyone everywhere hates, by the way—and using the jams to gain confidence and get dates and stuff. Meanwhile, an only sort of there English teacher (Hayley Atwell, aka Peggy Carter from the Marvel Cinematic Universe) inspires young Javed to keep writing by ignoring most

other students and forcefully submitting him for writing contests; his father’s old-school approach to literally everything (from a charming Kulvinder Ghir) stifles his sense of creativity, freedom and maturity. In other words, shit’s rough, and only Bruce knows how Javed feels. Blinded by the Light might have been cute enough if it weren’t for wooden performances from Kalra and … well, everyone who isn’t the dad, really. Chadha’s take on the era feels eerily real, but themes like racism, personal evolution and family politics consistently take a backseat to confusing not-quite musical numbers accompanied by odd floating subtitles of Springsteen lyrics. These scenes usually find Javed doing something emotionally overthe-top, like throwing himself against a wall in the rain and making big, sad eyes, and while he keeps saying he feels all these deep things, mostly he appears to feel awkward. And then, every time we get a closer glimpse at the challenges of a culture living so far away from home, we’re ripped back to a moment wherein Javed hits play on his cassette Walkman for an impossibly precise moment a Springsteen lyric is applicable to what’s happening in his real life. Weird. Yes, the story’s based on a real one, namely writer Sarfraz Manzoor’s Greetings From Bury Park, wherein the real-life friend of Chadha’s recounts his Springsteen awakening. That’s neat and all, and we do catch a couple real-world

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: like looking in a mirror for these alt.weekly writers.
+ SURPRISINGLY
FRIGHTENING; KILLER ATMOSPHERE
- SEQUEL FORESHADOWING
It seems like this summer’s more charming films are the ones flying under the radar, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, based on the Alvin Schwartz anthology books of the same name, follows the trend. During Halloween of 1968, some Small-Town, Pennsylvania, teens stumble across a sinister book written in the “blood of children,” and soon the stories begin to reflect reality in a disturbing way. Directed by André Øvredal (Troll Hunter), Scary Stories proves a horror contribution fresh and thrilling enough to set it apart from the scads of Netflix shows or Stephen King adaptations flooding the mainstream. Of course, the film wouldn’t work without A+ efforts from its young cast. Yes, these kids are great and all, but they’re also kind of one dimensional. Zoe Colletti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush and Austin Abrams are all talented actors, but it would be nice to have seen more of their individuality shine instead of hitting plot points, beat by beat. Even when Colleti’s Stella, the deepest of the quartet, has a heart-to-heart moment with a parent, the scene becomes predictable enough to merit an eye roll. Still, it’s good to see supporting actors like Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) and Gil Bellows (The Shawshank Redemption), even if they’re mostly reduced to clueless old dudes who seemingly only react to the insanity of their surroundings. But this is a horror film for young adults, and the horror sequences do make the film worth its admission, regardless of your age. Schwartz’s short stories shine as the written words literally come to life, and the once-brief fables we read as children at night now become haunting portends for unfortunate characters. Scarecrows animate, cheeks burst with spiders, toes go missing and hands emerge from under the bed. Gone are the days of the cheap jump scares of tamer teen flicks—some of this stuff is actually skin crawling and resonates with the viewer well after the film ends. Guillermo del Toro is credited as a producer and writer, but his creativity only feels present in creepy moments now and then, his brilliance

Oh, right—Al Pacino is in Tarantino’s newest. Word, we guess. as an unconventional scribe shining through, though not powerfully. It’s also obvious distributor Lionsgate wants to build a franchise with this first film, which takes away all hope of a sound and noteworthy conclusion. Regardless, the tension is palpable throughout and the look of the set pieces, the special effects and the sound design all do their jobs to the umpteenth degree. It’s also refreshing to hear lesser-heard songs from ’68, with a special mention to Donovan’s “Season of the Witch” as an excellent contribution. There are still a few weeks of summer left, but Scary Stories does its job complementing the cool nights that lead into the fall. Before we know it, the Season of the Witch will be upon us once more, most certainly the most wonderful time of the year. (Matthew K Gutierrez)

ONCE UPON A TIME ... IN HOLLYWOOD

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

LOX and BAGEL were found together as strays in Santa Fe. We aren’t sure they are actually litter mates, because BAGEL has tested FELV+. However, since they are very bonded to each other, we want to place them together. Although BAGEL is currently testing positive, it is possible when he reaches full maturity in a couple of years, he will ultimately BAGEL LOX test negative. While rare, we have seen a few cats with this ultimate outcome. These kittens are 6 months old and very special. They are affectionate, gentle, and love to play with each another. BAGEL is a striking Lilac Point Siamese mix and LOX is a handsome Silver Tabby. Sadly, FELV+ cats are often overlooked by adopters.

ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny
Week of August 28th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Here are examples of activities I recommend you try in the coming days. 1. Build a campfire on the beach with friends and regale each other with stories of your most interesting successes. 2. Buy eccentric treasures at a flea market and ever thereafter refer to them as your holy icons. 3. Climb a hill and sit on the grass as you sing your favorite songs and watch the moon slowly rise over the eastern horizon. 4. Take naps when you’re “not supposed to.” 5. Sneak into an orchard at night and eat fruit plucked just moments before. 6. Tell a beloved person a fairy tale in which he or she is the hero.
ligament in his knee for 17 years, according to his biographer Jane Leavy. She quoted an orthopedic surgeon who said that Mantle compensated for his injury with “neuromuscular genius.” I’m thinking that in the next few weeks you’re in a position to accomplish an equivalent of Mantle’s heroic adjustment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The hardiest creature on the planet may be the bacterium known as Deinococcus radiodurans. It can endure exposure to radiation, intense cold, dehydration, acid, and vacuum. I propose we make it your power creature for the coming weeks. Why? Not because I expect you’ll have to deal with a lot of extreme conditions, but rather because I think you’ll be exceptionally robust, both physically and psychologically. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to succeed at demanding challenges that require you to be in top form, now is a good time to do it. P.S. Deinococcus radiodurans is colloquially referred to as Conan the Bacterium, borrowing from the spirit of the fictional character Conan the Barbarian, who is renowned for his strength and agility.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Most people who belong to the Church of Satan neither believe in nor worship Satan. (They’re atheists, and don’t believe in the supernatural.) I think a comparable principle is true for many rightwing fundamentalist Christians. Their actions and words are replete with bigotry, hard-heartedness, materialism, and selfishness: so contrary to what the real Jesus Christ taught that they in effect don’t believe in or worship Jesus Christ. I mention this, Scorpio, in hope of inspiring you to take inventory of whether your stated ideals are reflected in the practical details of how you live your life. That’s always an interesting and important task, of course, but it’s especially so for you right now. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to purge any hypocrisy from your system and get your actual behavior in close alignment with your deepest values.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s the right time for you to create a fresh mission statement and promotional campaign. For inspiration, read mine: “My column ‘Free Will Astrology’ offers you a wide selection of realities to choose from.
