IT IS ILLEGAL IN SANTA FE TO LEAVE AN ANIMAL IN A HOT CAR
Yes, it is illegal!
Street Homeless Animal Project has posted a billboard on I25 between Santa Fe & Albuquerque as part of a campaign with the City of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Police & Animal Control to alert everyone that it is illegal to leave animals in hot cars even with the windows open – Not for a Minute, Not for a Second! Parked cars are deathtraps for animals: The temperature in a vehicle can rise almost 20 degrees in 10 minutes, 30 degrees in 20 minutes, soaring to 100 degrees in just minutes - even on days that don’t seem hot to you! Cracking the windows makes no difference. Animals can suffocate, sustain brain damage, and die from heatstroke in just minutes — THAT’S
ALL IT TAKES!
Leaving a dog in a hot car is a misdemeanor and can cost you up to $500 or up to 90 days in jail and you can be charged with neglect & animal cruelty by the Santa Fe Police Department and Animal Control.
If you see an animal in a hot car, call 911 or 505-428-3710 SFPD Non-Emergency number IMMEDIATELY - A LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!
If you suspect an animal is suffering from heatstroke — take them to the nearest veterinary clinic. SMITH VETERINARY HOSPITAL 600 Alta Vista Street Mon - Fri - 7:30 am - 6 pm Sat & Sun 8 am - 4 pm

How ready is New Mexico for when disaster strikes? B Y L A U R A PA S K U S @NMreport

avid Silver thinks about the bad things: floods, fires, nuclear meltdowns, zombie apocalypses. As the city of Santa Fe’s emergency management director, it’s his job. Whether dealing with roving bands of the recently reanimated or a natural or human-caused disaster, people should have a plan, keep an emergency pack on hand and know who to trust. “It doesn’t matter what the emergency is; the response is going to be very similar,” says Silver. That goes for households, emergency responders and the government agencies that help communities recover. The city, for instance, has a hazard mitigation plan for how Santa Fe and its partners would respond to anything from a catastrophic flash flood churning down the Santa Fe River to a nuclear explosion. Afterwards, it’s also the government’s job to make sure communities don’t suffer from what Silver calls “cascading failures”—anything that worsens an already bad situation, such as wastewater treatment plants backing up, hospitals losing power or collapsing bridges cutting off evacuation routes. In America right now, these aren’t just abstract planning exercises. Hurricane Irma whaled on Florida after obliterating homes, forests and communities in the Caribbean. The storm came just a week and a half after Hurricane Harvey hit Texas. In the Houston area, as the rains kept falling and falling, water inundated homes and submerged entire neighborhoods. People worried about what was in the water—not to mention the air, as petrochemical facilities flooded and even exploded. During the storms and their aftermaths, as with any emergency, stories of individual heroism and grace emerged.

But rebuilding communities requires government systems, shored up by experts, standard procedures and taxpayer-funded programs and grants. No hurricanes will slam New Mexico, of course, but near-equivalents lurk in our drying forests, our two nuclear laboratories and our snowmelt-fed rivers—especially as impacts from climate change challenge not just water managers and farmers, but also public and mental health providers. Here at home, the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) works with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help people over the long haul. It’s unclear, however, whether the New Mexico agency can stem its own cascading failures. After years of promises, questions remain at that state agency about how some of its top staff members manage grants and finances, how it’s spending money and if it’s still holding on to FEMA money that should be passed along to the local governments and tribes that the cash is intended to help. Just last week, the Office of the State Auditor received the DHSEM’s 2016 fiscal year audit from independent analysts. It was more than nine months late. The state agency’s 2015 audit, full of holes and question marks, came in nearly a year late. And it appears to show that staff leadership was either unwilling or unable to share the information accountants needed to understand what’s happening with its finances and grants. Auditors found 19 significant problems and noted that “little progress” was made in spreading FEMA money around. That money is critically important: Most of DHSEM’s budget comes from the federal government. In 2017, the agency’s entire annual budget was $17.7 million; nearly $15 million came from the feds. But in 2015, it was still holding onto $34 million allocated for emergencies that dated back to 2007. Until the 2016 audit is made public, it’s unknown how much money the department still needs to pay out for recovery from past disasters. The agency did
SFREPORTER.COM
ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
not answer questions or make its experts available for interviews. That sort of secrecy, along with chronically late audits, leave New Mexicans in the dark about what would happen if a disaster struck tomorrow. “Getting aid to people and businesses in times of need is the purpose of this agency,” state Auditor Tim Keller tells SFR. “It’s an absolutely critical department, especially because the public trust is based on them stepping up when people need help, and in a timely manner.” Keller can’t discuss the 2016 audit his office just received. “We want it reviewed and out the door, to bring some accountability and transparency,” he says, adding that the agency’s 2017 audit is due in three months. “If something more catastrophic were happening in this state, all of a sudden
these issues would be front and center, and would be the number one priority of every elected official,” Keller says of the budgetary concerns. “Folks have to realize, this is one area you can’t go in after and work on this. You have to have it fixed beforehand.” The agency has blamed high staff turnover and vacancies for some of the problems. But rather than hiring employees to fill those positions, it appears to be contracting out work. Typically, it costs an agency more to pay a contractor than to hire a full-time employee with benefits. Since 2014, the agency has also spent more than a half-million dollars on outside accounting firms and another $1.1 million on IT services. After a governor declares a disaster and FEMA allocates funding, state and local governments also pony up money for
NEWS matching grants. Then, once a project is done and inspected, FEMA pays the state using a special account. “As expeditiously as possible,” according to the agreement between the state and the feds, it’s supposed to send money to the local agency. In New Mexico, the process is cracked. In 2013, when severe monsoon storms flooded some Pueblos, several tribes were still waiting on millions of dollars from FEMA that had been allocated for disasters that occurred in 2011 and 2012. In 2016, the contractor who completed disaster cleanup work at Nambé Reservoir a year and a half earlier faced losing his business because the state still owed more than $2 million for the work (News, “Business Disaster,” Sept. 7, 2016). FEMA had already paid DHSEM,
Folks have to realize, this is one area you can’t go in after and work on this. You have to have it fixed beforehand . -Tim Keller, state auditor
but the state hadn’t passed the money along. Eventually, media coverage drew the attention of US Sen. Martin Heinrich, who pressured the agency to finally cut the check. While Keller lacks enforcement power, FEMA does not. If a state fails to properly account for its federal money, FEMA can suspend drawdowns from the special account. And within a three-year window, FEMA can claw back money the state hasn’t passed through to subgrantees. It remains to be seen how the Trump administration will oversee states with grant funding, especially given the gargantuan tasks ahead of FEMA this hurricane season, and with more than 1.6 million acres of wildfires currently burning in the western United States. There’s another problem, too: When
Congregation
Beit Tikva the federal awards are made, the state first has to spend some of its own money, which comes from the general fund. Only after the state submits invoices to FEMA does it get reimbursed. If the agency isn’t doing that in a timely manner, the money comes from the general fund, instead of the pot of federal money. After Harvey hit Houston, New Mexico Rep. Bill McCamley (D-Mesilla) volunteered at a Red Cross shelter in San Antonio, Texas. Nonprofits, churches and individuals stepped up in Texas, McCamley says. “It can show us how really good people are, in the best way possible. … But helping out after an emergency is one of the basic things government should do.” Given New Mexico’s location and relatively small population, Irma’s destruction of Caribbean islands and in the state of Florida or Harvey’s hit to Houston aren’t really analogous here. But recovering from any type of emergency—and limiting those cascading failures—requires functioning and trustworthy government agencies. The financial problems at DHSEM are just a symptom of a larger problem in New Mexico, McCamley says. Many state agencies already can’t meet residents’ basic needs. There’s no better issue than disaster response to highlight the importance of functioning, resilient government agencies that have the funding and staff they need. “Once people have been rescued and families are safe, how do you rebuild infrastructure? How do you rebuild homes and get businesses functioning again?” McCamley says. “These are hard and complicated issues, and we have to make sure government functions at at least a basic level, or else this other stuff becomes impossible to figure out.” It’s tough for grossly understaffed— possibly even intentionally starved— state agencies to work properly. “When we continue to demonize government and not provide departments and agencies the resources they need to function, this is what we get,” McCamley says, speaking of an anti-government attitude that precedes the Trump administration, having built over the past four decades in America. “We need to realize in this county that government has an important role, a needed role,” he says. “We need to take it seriously.” This story was reported and published in collaboration with New Mexico Political Report, where Laura Paskus is the environment reporter.

Stepping Out Mayor Javier Gonzales tells SFR why he’ll let one term define his Santa Fe legacy B Y M AT T G R U B S m a t t g r u b s @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
t was somewhere on the way back to Santa Fe from Los Angeles that he made the decision. Javier Gonzales was in the car with his youngest daughter, Cadence. They’d dropped off her older sister, Cameron, at college just a few hours earlier. “It started to dawn on me that there was an eighth-grader at home who is full-time in my custody now,” Gonzales says. He and his two daughters had talked about a potential run for a second term. He knew Cadence, a student at the Academy for Technology and the Classics charter school, would never tell him not to run. Not that she stayed silent. “There was a point in the trip where she said, ‘Would it bother you to step out?’” Gonzales says. Cadence has been resilient through his coming out as gay, the mayor says; through being in a blended household with the children of Gonzales’ partner of two years, Brad Furry. She’s handled his being gone nights and her changing schools. Now she needed to adjust to life without her older sister. The decision started to take hold. Gonzales also had to do some uncomfortable emotional accounting as he made his choice to forgo a try for a second term: He and Furry have parted ways. “We found ourselves coming back into an environment that was going to change,” Gonzales tells SFR from a trip to Washington, DC, this week. “Prior to taking Cameron to college, we were part of a strong blended family that had good security and good support. [Cadence] and I are on our own now. It really caused me to accelerate my thought process of what
I want to make sure those priorities don’t go away and we solidify the things that we’ve done. -Mayor Javier Gonzales
[another term] meant for her.” Gonzales’ decision has cleared the way for not just the only major declared candidate, Ron Trujillo, but for a gaggle of other potentials. One, longtime Santa Fean Harvey Van Sickle, is already collecting signatures. The rest of the field of may-runs includes current city councilor Joseph Maestas, businessman and onetime Democratic gubernatorial can-

didate Alan Webber, and current Public Regulation Commissioner and former Santa Fe County Clerk Valerie Espinoza. Zozobra producer Ray Sandoval is considering a run, but first wants to make sure his work with the annual event doesn’t conflict with holding office. Whomever Santa Feans elect as mayor will take the reins as the city’s first full-time executive. The position carries not just full-time work, but an attractive $110,000 annual salary. Trujillo has been clear from the get-go that he wants a back-to-basics approach to running the city. He successfully rode a wave of discomfort with the proposed
sugary-drink tax and was in some ways the public face of its defeat. A few months ago, Maestas was one of the names being tossed around as political insiders tried to measure interest in the mayor’s race. Seeing what he thought would be a tougher path to success with Gonzales in the contest, former Española mayor Maestas instead chose to run for reelection to his City Council District 2 seat. Now, he’s back to weighing a run for mayor. “I think the underlying issue is restoring the public’s trust in city government,” Maestas tells SFR this week. Webber, who came in second in the statewide primary party contest, also wasn’t inclined to consider running with Gonzales in the mix. He tells SFR that he believes Santa Fe could stand to focus on making “city government ‘people-centric’ so it’s faster, easier, more convenient to get things done.” Espinoza says the most important issue facing the city is jobs, but that keeping things affordable and water issues also top her list. She says she plans to pick up a candidate-information packet from the city clerk. Candidates don’t have unlimited time to make up their minds; nominating petitions that contain the minimum 265 signatures from registered voters are due on Oct. 31. As for the current mayor’s future plans, Gonzales says he doesn’t have a new job lined up. He’ll disclose that when he’s closer to accepting an offer, he says. Gonzales didn’t do any polling leading up to his decision not to run. He saw the recent poll by the Santa Fe Association of Realtors that rated his job performance higher than that of the City Council. He also doesn’t plan to endorse a candidate to be his successor, though he voiced support for those who have ideas to make City Hall more efficient and to narrow the widening gap of both income and opportunity inequality he sees in Santa Fe. Gonzales may seek a policy job advocating for what he sees as smarter government, but he says he’s done pursuing political office. “My plans are to make sure that my legacy and what we’ve worked on over the past three and half years are all key areas for the city going forward,” he says. “I want to make sure those priorities don’t go away and we solidify the things that we’ve done.”

UNDER PROTEST BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
f you could get high on a city, Fiestas weekend on the Plaza is where you would go to breathe in the essence of Santa Fe. This past Saturday, generations of families and others came to laze around in the late-afternoon sunlight. The smells of fry bread and meat wafted in the air as chomped corn cobs piled up in trash cans. Folklorico music and mariachi trumpets mixed with Baby Boomer-era hits like Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Proud Mary” as small children bounded on the grass, a few shooting at each other with toy guns. “I was noticing that, as I walked through the Plaza earlier, that it was just as I remembered it—it was families with blankets spread out in the Plaza grass and shade, kids running around from blanket square to blanket square, people visiting and seeing people they know,” says Jason Younis y Delgado, an artist selling Spanish colonial-style tinwork among the dozens of vendors on Lincoln Avenue. “It just heartens me to know that that part of our culture is intact.” The day before on the same street, Santa Fe police officers had handcuffed Jennifer Marley, a Pueblo woman from San Ildefonso and an undergraduate student at the University of New Mexico, after a standoff between police
Police, who said over a loudspeaker that they were controlling the crowd at the request of the Fiesta Council, met hundreds protesters in the streets and watched them from rooftops.

and the protest group Marley had been leading. They later charged her with two misdemeanor counts of criminal trespassing and two felony counts of battery on an officer. Her arrest came shortly after a group of about 150 protesters approached a line of police intent on keeping the group away from the Plaza. Marley was a charismatic organizer of the protest, and her rough detainment had incensed the crowd. The protest was aimed at the Entrada pageant, the event that kicks off Fiestas weekend wherein actors perform a version of the city’s 1692 reconquest by Don Diego de Vargas. Protesters argue that the pageant inaccurately represents the past and find its depiction of Pueblo subjugation to Spanish rule to be patronizing and racist. While the pageant represents a small sliver of Fiestas weekend, it is tightly wound up in the city’s power structure. The mayor and multiple city councilors have a cultural affinity with the production. The contrast between the two afternoons was on the mind of Younis y Delgado, who questioned the response of the police the day before even while praising the traditions of the weekend. He has a cousin who played the Fiesta queen years ago, after all.

The night before the Entrada, a Diné woman from Pueblo Pintado named Cheyenne Antonio was among a handful of people making signs at the Wise Fool New Mexico community space. The activists attached sheets of paper onto cardboard placards, praising the 1680 Pueblo Revolt and its leader, Po’Pay, and demanding the protection of Chaco Canyon from fracking. A haunting effigy of a skeletal conquistador with a black heart stood nearby. Antonio got involved organizing against the Entrada through The Red Nation, an Albuquerque-based political group dedicated to the liberation of Indigenous people, and the University of New Mexico’s Kiva Club. She helped lead the successful campaign for Albuquerque to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day, and was also part of the ongoing effort to get UNM to abandon its conquistador-centric seal. She is part of a younger generation of Native people who’ve formed a burgeoning movement over the last several years to confront vestiges and policies of white supremacy and racial capitalism nationwide. “Our organizers for this event are young,” Antonio tells SFR. “It’s young people, and so they’re more aware. They care about their communities. They’re all very active within their Pueblos.” She says that this movement is growing, citing protests against the Entrada from the last two years. “It’s very important we continue to educate ourselves [about] how the state was founded, but also to move forward to protect what is sacred and most valuable to us such as water and air, our health and safety, our tribal sovereignty as a nation— because in all capacities, we benefit the state.” Absent from the planning meeting was Jennifer Marley, a lead organizer with The Red Nation who would become a political martyr after her arrest. Marley told SFR by phone the night before the Entrada that her own political evolution was shaped not just by the layered violence of the region, but also by her immediate lineage: Her father was of majority European descent, creating internal tension for her as she struggled to form her own identity in San Ildefonso Pueblo. “Growing up, that was a source of conflict with my own identity because of how I was treated in my community, and whether it was severe or cracking fun of

me, it made me self-conscious and selfaware,” Marley says. “It had me really thinking critically of the intersection of the identities, and the manifestations of identities that have come to exist here are super important.” Her father, she says, was a “violent, sexist, brutal person; he was an embodiment of Spanish conquest and US imperialism, the way he harassed my mother and whole family. So understanding myself as a living product of this violence that’s never ended has made me passionate about these struggles.” The modern version of Fiestas and the Entrada have their roots in the early-20th century collaboration between mostly Anglo men, who were prominent merchants and members of local frater-
nity chapters such as the Scottish Rite. Before that, the sporadic portrayals of the reconquest that would eventually evolve into the Entrada featured reluctant Native participants, according to Chris Wilson, author of The Myth of Santa Fe, published in 1997 by UNM Press. Pueblo Indians participating in such productions, Wilson writes, “fought mock battles with the Spanish in the 1883 and 1912 pageants and even submitted by kneeling before a large cross in 1883. But starting in 1920, Anglos and Hispanos had to be recruited to fill Indian roles.” The decision in the late 1920s to focus Fiestas’ pageantry on the ostensibly peaceful 1692 invasion by Don Diego de Vargas, rather than the violent battles between Pueblo resistance and Spanish colonizers that occurred one year later, he argues, squared well with the city’s conscious branding of itself as a melting pot and desire to obscure persistent local inequities. The Catholicization of Fiestas happened gradually from 1920 onward, centered on a 1712 proclamation calling for “Vespers, Mass, sermon and procession through the Plaza” at the weekend’s opening. Fiestas, and specifically the Entrada, has since become a kind of ethnic-religious occasion for generations of Santa Feans who’ve grown up unaware of anything different. In a piece she wrote in 2011 for Pasatiempo, folk art museum director Khristaan D Villela suggests the deepening religious undertones of Fiestas were “a reaction of the city’s Hispanic populace to the increasingly secular and bohemian nature of the city.”
The Caballeros de Vargas, a fraternity which was refounded in 1956, organizes Catholic ceremonies dedicated to an interpretation of the Virgin Mary known locally as “La Conquistadora,” represented by a wooden madonna brought to New Mexico in the 17th century. They also write the script for the Entrada. The Fiesta Council, meanwhile, is responsible for organizing the majority of the weekend’s events and selecting actors to represent de Vargas and La Reina in the Entrada. The groups also produce local power brokers. A 1989 article in the Albuquerque Journal featuring future mayor Javier Gonzales, who was elected to represent de Vargas that year, shows how close to their hearts some powerful men in the area carry the tradition of the Entrada. At that time, the current mayor’s father, brothers, uncle and cousin had portrayed de Vargas before him. “‘I look at my father and we both had tears in our eyes,” Gonzales told Journal writer Camille Flores at the time. “The bear hug that followed,” Camille wrote, “further sealed a bond between the two men, 22-year-old son Javier and father [George] Gonzales.” At an early-morning Pregón de la Fiesta Mass last Friday, Gonzales addressed the congregation both as mayor and as a devotee of the religious tradition. He praised the 1712 proclamation for its guidance and said he believed the weekend would bring healing and hope. The Fiesta Court and members of the Caballeros de Vargas were also in attendance.

“I pray to La Conquistadora and ask that she allow me to be the alcalde you need on a daily basis,” the outgoing mayor said, thanking the congregation one last time for allowing him to serve the city. The morning proceeded as a mostly typical Catholic Mass, but was interspersed with words from members of the Fiestas elite. Dean Milligan, president of the Fiesta Council, thanked city councilors and former de Vargas actors Ron Trujillo, who is running for mayor next year, and Carmichael Dominguez, for showing up that morning. David Monserrat Jaramillo y Estrada and Hope Andrea Quintana, who were selected by the Fiesta Council to represent de Vargas and La Reina de la Fiesta de Santa Fe, also addressed the congregation, and a priest praised the 1692 resettlement of Santa Fe and the Entrada depiction as “a moment we would like to grow into a whole life of peace.” Also sitting among the pews was Doug Nava, who is gunning for the north side District 1 City Council seat again next year. In a conversation with SFR one month prior, Nava explained that his conflicting feelings about the Entrada pageant came as a result of his personal growth and maturity. He loves Fiestas; he ran for the part of de Vargas in his 20’s, and he has a large tattoo of La Conquistadora on his right arm. He now recognizes that the pageant is offensive to some Native people, and says he’s open to pushing for changes to the event. “It is time for us to become sensitive to people’s feelings. I highly support it,” he said, referring to ideas for making the Entrada more inclusive. Even so, Nava, who describes himself as a “Spanish person,”

Nobody representing the Pueblo Indians receiving de Vargas’ entourage got down on their knees, as had upset people during past performances, but the pageant’s script still emphasized subjugation. De Vargas tells the man playing the part of the Tesuque Pueblo cacique that the Spanish king will grant them a full pardon for the Pueblo rebellion in return for their conversion to Catholicism. Before exiting the stage, the whole procession gathered under the bandstand for one last song. One actor triumphantly waved the flag of the Spanish empire as the audience cheered and jeered. Police then attempted to herd the growing number of protesters to a “free speech zone” at the northeast corner of the Plaza. Santa Fe Police Captain Adam Gallegos blithely explained over a loudspeaker that they were being moved at the request of the Santa Fe Fiesta Council, the event’s permit holder. As the mass of police and protesters on the street between the bandstand and the Palace of the Governors grew more chaotic, some

contends that it is the protesters who are “abrasive,” reflecting the sentiment of many who grew up loving the pageant. “I would never go to a Pueblo and tell them to stop dancing for their corn harvest; that’s who they are, that’s what they believe, and they do it publicly,” said Nava. “But yeah, I can tell you right now, I would love to see a change. And for the sake of human life, I don’t want to see downtown turn into a big riot.” There wasn’t a riot in the Plaza on Friday, but the police were ready for one. When this year’s Entrada kicked off two hours earlier than scheduled—a surprise decision made by city officials, the Caballeros de Vargas and the Fiesta Council in order to preempt planned protests—a flank of police looked on uneasily as a few protesters heckled performers on stage. Officers dressed in urban camouflage peered down from surrounding rooftops, snapping photos of anybody in the vicinity of protesters.

of the Pueblo vendors under the Palace’s portal, which was festooned in typical Fiestas fashion with the family crests of names who took part in de Vargas’ expedition, expressed mixed feelings at the day’s events. “People don’t need to get hurt and people have been hurt in the past. Vendors along the portal have had items that have gotten broken,” says a woman named Monica, who says family has sold items under the portal for generations. “I fully understand the reasoning behind the police actions.” Another vendor, Eileen Rosera from the Kewa Pueblo, voiced her support for abolishing the Entrada. “There is no such thing as a designated area for a protesting event. It is freedom of speech, they can be anywhere they want,” she says. “There’s never an orderly fashion to everything. Once again, the Native American is being pushed around.” A group bearing signs and life-sized marionettes led by Jennifer Marley arrived to the northeast corner of the Plaza, but was blocked by police because they didn’t have a permit. They instead walked up Washington Avenue, freely taking the street as the concentration of cops in the Plaza tried to catch up. A brief standoff ensued at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Marcy Street before Marley was suddenly snatched into a throng of officers. Video taken by SFR shows police pushing aside people who held onto Marley’s body as officers yanked her out of the crowd. The booming voices of enraged protesters, who chanted “fuck white supremacy” and “let her go,” echoed down the street. Two separate videos taken by SFR that day suggest that police handled Marley more aggressively than they did two white protesters earlier in the afternoon. In the first video, multiple officers handcuff Sierra Logan and JenniJenni
A conquistador puppet with a black heart was part the demonstration.
The aftermath of Friday’s response to anti-Entrada groups could mark a turning point for the local tradition. The clash was disclosed on the national stage in an Associated Press article, and the ongoing criminal cases of those arrested—all of whom were released from Santa Fe County jail by Sunday afternoon—have mobilized a grassroots network of supporters for the defendants. In a statement via Twitter, Mayor Gonzales thanked “peaceful protesters,” Entrada participants and law enforcement for taking part in a “very difficult conversation” that he says “moved forward.” In a later interview with SFR, the mayor says that some Hispanic families, including his own, may have a hard time recognizing their ancestral role in conquest because they lost land and culture in later waves of Anglo-American colonization. He demurred when asked if the Entrada should be abandoned, advocating instead for “dialogue.” Lawyer Dan Cron is representing Marley on a pro-bono basis. Last November, Cron put together a strike force of local lawyers willing to represent people charged in protests. As soon as he heard of the arrests that happened Friday, Cron tells SFR, he sent out an email blast to criminal defense attorneys on a listserv in order to start pairing attorneys with defendants free of charge. Outside of criminal court, the New Mexico chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is reviewing the constitutionality of police corralling protesters into a so-called “free speech zone” on

In contrast, officers who arrest Marley tug her arms forward as she is handcuffed and kneeling passively on the street while wearing tall moccasins and a one-shouldered dress in the Pueblo style. Rather than offer to carry her, they demand she stand up. Marley was eventually taken away on foot.

behalf of a private entity like the Fiesta Council. Police Chief Patrick Gallagher tells SFR that the police strategy for facing the protest was influenced by recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia, that saw violent clashes including death and injury at a rally turned rumble. The main priority for police, he says, was separating Entrada dectractors and supporters from one another. ACLU attorney Kristin Greer Love says she’s also looking into the possibility of civil rights violations at the Entrada protest, including a claim by one defendant, Julian Rodriguez, that he was not taking part in the protests and was racially profiled prior to his arrest. That work would add to the pressure the ACLU is already mounting on the city by investigating possible violations of the First Amendment through its financial support for Fiestas week, which supporters have described as a religious celebration. A resolution passed by the city
declares that it will reimburse the Fiesta Council for $50,000 annually with funds generated through a lodger’s tax. “We need to see specifically what was reimbursed by the city,” she tells SFR, referring to whether financial support for Fiestas goes against the principles of separation of church and state. At the Municipal Court building on Monday morning, about two dozen defendants and supporters gathered for the arraignments of the Entrada defendants. Ahjo Sipowicz wore a shirt with a piece of paper stapled to it that read, “Free Santa Fe 8,” a reference to Carmen Stone, Nicole Ullerich, Sierra Logan, Julian Rodriguez, Jennifer Haley, Trenton Ward, Chad Brown Eagle and Jennifer Marley. All except Marley only face misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass or disorderly conduct. Savannah Junes, a Pueblo woman from Ohkay Owingeh who helped organize the protests, tells SFR that The Red Nation has created a legal fund for arrestees. She believes Santa Fe Police violated the right to speech and assembly, something that the attorney representing most
of the defendants that day, Todd Coberly, also suggests. Inside the courtroom, defendants sat among the cream-colored pews as Judge Virginia Vigil called up each of them to answer to their charges. Vigil’s mix-up of the two Jennifers—one of whom only faces two misdemeanor counts, the other two misdemeanors and two felonies— caused some confusion, but everybody pleaded not guilty. Pretrial appearances will happen next month. Marley will be the last defendant to formally hear her alleged crimes read in court. She was scheduled to appear Wednesday morning in the Santa Fe County Magistrate Court. In a statement posted to her Facebook after she was released from jail, Marley remained committed to her cause. “I hope and pray that all realize the necessity for a long term Pueblo Resistance movement, I pray that liberation becomes something possible in the minds of all Native people,” she wrote. “Pueblo resistance never died, it is as resilient as we are, and it will persist for centuries to come.”

TECH The Interface
Santa Fe Opera’s Tech and the West program tackles the big bang of contemporary innovation BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl
I
attended The (R)evolution Of Steve Jobs toward the end of its sold-out run in the Santa Fe Opera’s 2017 season. By late August, the sun was setting before 8 pm and late monsoons threatened in the distance. A vivid tableau presented itself: to the west, the Jemez Mountains darkened while lightning flashes illuminated the sky; center stage, video projections dramatically lit up walls of the ubiquitous iPhone interface. My actual iPhone lay obediently silenced in my purse. The lightning may or may not have continued on the horizon. I stopped looking, riveted by the spectacle on stage. I’ve used Apple products for decades. I obtained my first newspaper internship by lying and saying I knew how to use the paper’s brand-new Macs, figuring I’d figure it out if I was hired. I was hired, and I did indeed figure it out. Apple, as we all know now, merged shiny design with idiot-proof

technology. I’ve been an increasingly reluctant Apple user ever since—a busted IIsi lives in my closet, and I suspect will stay there for the duration. My iPhone, on the other hand, is always nearby, although I monitor my once-incessant use of it in deference to my waning attention span, sleep cycle and peace of mind. Steve Jobs’ legacy, his complicated hand in reshaping our relationship to technology, can’t be disputed. Nor can its disquieting consequences be ignored. This evolving tension between science and technology’s key advances and the people who live with them is at the core of SFO’s Tech and the West initiative, launched with the Jobs opera and set to continue through next year. Andrea Fellows Walters, the opera’s director of education and community engagement, saw the Jobs world premiere this year coupled with next summer’s Dr. Atomic as an opportunity to build multiyear programming with community partners—the Santa Fe Institute, New Mexico History Museum, Los Alamos Historical Society and The Carl and Marilynn Thomo Art Foundation among them. The resulting initiative is an expansive interdisciplinary program that includes lectures, discussions, films and art. Set in 1945, Dr. Atomic explores the events preceding the first atomic bomb detonation at the Trinity Site in New Mexico. As the opera’s title implies, the story mines the narrative of its “hero”— Manhattan Project leader Robert Oppen-
heimer—in much the same way (R)evolution explores Jobs’ personal arc. Spoiler alert: Neither man changed the world with a cheerful song in his heart. Walters, a librettist whose one-act opera Trinity commissioned for SFO’s 50th anniversary tackles the same seminal time period, believes the new program is a means toward education and inquiry. “When we were grappling with the themes, we went back and forth a lot about the sense of the greater good,” she says. “Were Jobs and Oppenheimer creating for the greater good? Was a greater good being served, despite destructive outcomes?” Philosophical Pandora’s box aside, the Jobs and Oppenheimer operas also present a chance to tell compelling stories, Walters says, while drawing in new opera fans.
Andrea Fellows Walters, Santa Fe Opera’s director of education and community engagement, spearheads interdisciplinary programming for the new Tech and the West initiative.
Tech and the West’s first year of programming centered around the concept of creative expression; next year’s—which will feature a keynote by Richard Rhodes, Pultizer Prize-winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb—will have “modern-day Prometheus” as its thematic backdrop (in Greek mythology, Prometheus gifted fire to the world and was thus punished by Zeus by being chained to a rock and having his liver eaten daily). Both operas create what Walters describes as a “moment in time”— our time—while highlighting artistic innovations, in the orchestra pit and on stage. The West—our backyard and the larger Western culture we inhabit—make these operas particularly resonant. That backyard contains specific significance for Heather McClenahan, executive director of the Los Alamos Historical Society, one of Tech and the West’s partners. The historical society focuses on vivifying the stories of the people behind Los Alamos’ history: Dr. Atomic and Tech and the West’s community programs will help those stories reach new audiences, McClenahan says. “We like to think our history is very relevant to what’s happening in the world,” McClenahan says. “We are living with nuclear weapons … and I think if you understand the history and the context and the people involved, it helps you contextualize what’s happening in the modern world.” After the Jobs’ opera ended, I uploaded the unimpressive photo I’d snapped on my iPhone to Instagram with the requisite hashtags. I had tried to capture the sky and the stage but neither was quite as I’d seen it. It’s out there now, anyway.

SPOTTY Back in April, we told you about Ithaca, New York’s The Blind Spots, a rock (and we mean rock) band that operates like some kind of Blondieesque, Springsteen-ish indie-pop act and explodes brains with the power of front woman Maddy Walsh’s awesome vocals. These things remain true, and Walsh-plus-band returns to Santa Fe for another performance of their self-described “moxy-rock” jams. You’ll even find notes of Americana and reggae hidden in their tunes, which is all well and good but, for our money, Walsh alone kind of makes the trip worth it. When last we spoke, she told us they were thinking they might “release something that packs more of a punch,” and we’re hoping that’s what’s happened. (ADV)

In June, we told you that this year’s Santa Fe Pride festivities, usually held on and around the Plaza during that month, had moved to September to accommodate more vendors, more music, more students—more pride. At the time, Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance president Richard Brethour-Bell also stated that it was about having a little more time to make it the best Pride in Santa Fe ever. Now, as we head toward the weekend, Brethour-Bell says he’s feeling very positive and thinks they’ve accomplished just that. “It was clearly the best decision,” he says. “We have more entertainment than we’ve ever had before.” And though Brethour-Bell says many were concerned by the move from June to September, it’s nothing new. “There are many Prides that take place before and after June,” he points out. “You just have to do what’s best for your community and to get more people involved and more entertainers.” Event highlights, according to Brethour-Bell, include the Thursday night screening of documentary Out of Iraq, a stirring star-crossed lovers tale; the Friday night parade, which starts at Fort Marcy and culminates in a Plaza-based dance party (and is followed by a bubble afterparty at Skylight); and, of course, the all-day festival at Santa Fe University of Art and Design on Saturday.

The Future is Now Future Islands’ William Cashion wouldn’t consider himself the band’s main focus, but we kinda do BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
W
hen I call Future Islands bassist William Cashion, the first thing I tell him is that they don’t generally send a lot of bassists my way and that it’s not all too common to have one be so focused upon. He says simply, “I don’t feel like I’m the focus.” But really, he kind of is. Since the early aughts, Cashion and crew have slowly but surely built one of the largest fan bases today, no small part of which must have something to do with his clever bass work. “I originally started out playing guitar when I was 13, but I wanted to play keyboards,” he tells me. “But when I went off to college and me and [Future Islands singer] Sam [Herring] wanted to start a project, the original idea was to do a kind of Kraftwerk performance project.” Which, by the way, they did. “That was our jumping-off point,” Cashion continues, “but at the house where we practiced, there was a bass guitar, and I picked it up for practice. We wrote some songs, and when we played a show, the one song with the bass, there was just something really cool that worked with the drum machines, the keyboards, the bass—it made it a little more dancey and gave it a little more energy.” Future Islands would hone that sound, a dreamy mix of poppy synths and
’80s-esque melodies that still do recall the likes of Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and other heavy-hitters of the time, but with a more contemporary indie-rock bent. They often produce universal songs of loss and heartache hidden behind upbeat melodies, danceable beats and, yes, kickass basslines—a damn near perfect intersection for fans of hurt-so-bad love songs and the electronic music set. In March 2014, a performance on David Letterman catapulted Future Islands to super-stardom; before that, they lived in vans, slept on floors, played in basements and for handful-sized audiences. After the late-night foray, however, everything changed. Cue the festival circuit and headlining appearances at Hopscotch and Coachella. “We’re definitely getting more used to the bigger stage,” Cashion says, “but we always said we wanted to be a band that could go back and forth from playing to 10 or 20 thousand people one night to three or four hundred the next night.” Cashion says this meant never giving up on non-traditional music venues such as art galleries, house parties and public parks, and mid-level and smaller clubs are still peppered throughout their tours to this day. “We grew a lot as a band in those rooms,” he recalls. “We still love playing those places.” Still, Future Islands holds onto the small-band mentality. Cashion even divulges that recording in professional facilities is a newer concept to them. “We’re
That’s William Cashion (center) for you—always looking at things that are off in the distance.
only recently getting more comfortable in the studio,” he says. “It’s always been more about getting out there and playing the songs.” Indeed, early recordings found the band crowding around a single microphone in the middle of a room, with Herring positioned closest for the clearest possible vocals, recording without overdubs or multiple tracks. “The first album was the most ‘live,’” Cashion reminisces. “We would write the songs, move the amps closer or further away from the mic; we … never called them ‘demos,’ but we’d record them kind of quick.” This is a far cry from The Far Field, the band’s fifth and most recent album, released in April by British label 4AD. If the idea of the highly-anticipated rock album (non-Taylor Swift category) isn’t dead by now, it comes in the form of Future Islands. “It wasn’t until we signed with 4AD that we realized the sort of rocket power for reaching people,” Cashion explains. “It’s been surreal reaching the audience— and it was growing steadily over the years, but it seems like it’s grown so much more exponentially than we ever imagined.” So, Future Islands’ upcoming Meow Wolf show should be on your radar. Yes,
the music industry is a heartless bitch that churns out hot nonsense based on surgical levels of marketing research designed to pluck your heart strings in just the right, albeit hollow, ways; Future Islands, though, is the authentic exception to the rule. Given their straight astronomical rise of the past three years, it also might not be so long before they can’t perform in smaller venues, even if they want to. And if that kinda science doesn’t grab you, do it for Cashion, the very definition of regular guy who happened to hit it big. “We try to keep it real,” he says. “I think a lot of people forget. … I was talking to another musician recently at a festival—A Plus from Hieroglyphics—and he was like, ‘A lot of people forget that all musicians are huge fans of music.’ We all love music, it’s why we got into it in the first place.”

in the 505 Haiku North America Conference makes its first visit to the Southwest
BY LIZ BRINDLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m @lizbrindley_artwork
S
“
ometimes the word ‘poet’ carries a lot of baggage,” Michael Dylan Welch, cofounder of the Haiku North America Conference, says. “But, as Jack Kerouac put it, ‘Haiku should be as simple as porridge.’ There’s seemingly not much to it, but it’s still healthy and fulfilling.” Welch shares his description of haiku in preparation for the biennial iteration of the conference, which takes place in Santa Fe this week. Haiku North America began in 1991 in San Francisco and has since moved around the United States and Canada to cities including Toronto, Portland, Chicago, Boston and Ottawa. This year marks its first appearance in the Southwest. “Santa Fe has been on the radar for a long time,” Welch tells SFR. “There’s something about the community that attracts poets and has drawn a lot of people out of the woodwork to this conference.” This year boasts the largest number of attendees to date with over 220 poets and haiku enthusiasts coming from a numerous states such as New Mexico, Alaska and Pennsylvania, as well as countries like Canada, Mexico and Japan. All levels are welcome to attend and learn more about the art form through workshops, presentations and readings about haiku history, criticism and contemporary writing. So—what makes a haiku a haiku, exactly? “The simple answer is the 5-7-5 syllables taught in fourth grade classes,” Charles Trumbull, local haiku poet and leader of this year’s organizing committee explains, “but any serious haiku poet ignores that.” Because Japanese and English syllables differ, the form can get lost in translation. Trumbull posits that instead, “haiku is all about images.” It is the art of using
words to put two seemingly separate images together in a way that puzzles a reader because there is no immediately visible connection. But, when a reader discovers the thread that joins the lines of a poem, they experience an epiphany, or what Trumbull describes as the “aha! moment.” Teruko Kumei, professor of American history and culture at Shirayuri University in Tokyo, adds that haiku are powerful primary historical documents. “Haiku and senryu [a similar poetic form] are the records of life, the poems of sentiments,” she says Kumei delivers a lecture at the conference this week titled “Haiku and Senryu in the Santa Fe Internment Camp,” which delves into how this art form can help our current communities relate to the experiences of our past, specifically the internment camp that was located just a few miles from the Santa Fe Plaza between 1942 and 1946. A plaque acknowledging the camp was dedicated in April 2002 at the Frank S Ortiz Dog Park as “a reminder that history is a valuable teacher if only we do not forget our past.” Kumei’s lecture uncovers this past through readings of 60 poems written by internees during that period (though over 8,000 were written in the camp). “The process of composing haiku or senryu poems helped inmates live through
their stress, anxiety, worry and loneliness,” she says. Haiku North America also offers free nightly poetry readings for those who did not register for the conference but are interested in participating. In addition, Axle Contemporary’s current show, Playing with Haiga, is scheduled to appear outside Hotel Santa Fe during the conference. Playing with Haiga explores haiga, a style that evolved after haiku. While haiku is rooted in text, haiga combines text and image into one composition. Traditionally, the art form also creates one of those “aha! moments” in which the text is not a direct caption for the image and the image is not a direct interpretation of the text. Rather, each is a seemingly disparate component until the viewer discovers the bridge of connection. Jerry Wellman, co-founder of Axle, tells us the show features six local artists including Juliana Coles, Collestipher Chatto and Luke Dorman, plus students from New Mexico School for the Arts who take creative liberties within the haiga tradition. Axle also collaborated with the students and Karina Hean, NMSA visual arts chair, to create large haiga banners to be marched through the conference on Thursday evening at 6 pm. Wellman explains that, just as haiga breaks the mold of haiku, “The students walking the banners

also breaks the world of how to show art.” With the confluence of activities and discussions, Haiku North America becomes a hub of inspiration for both aspiring and established poets. “HNA is a catalyst,” Welch tells SFR. “It energizes people to write, to create, to share—this is where it all begins.”

My teenage daughter just came out to us as gay. We told her we love her and support her. As a heterosexual, cisgender mother, how do I make sure she gets good advice about sex? I don’t want her learning from other kids or porn. Do you know of any good, sex-positive advice books for lesbian teens? -My Inspiring Daughter Deserves Lesbian Education “I wish every parent felt this way about their child’s sexual development, regardless of the child’s gender identity or sexual orientation,” said Peggy Orenstein, author of Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape. “All young people— girls especially—need open, honest discussions about sexual ethics, including talking about pleasure, respect, decision-making, and reciprocity, or we are leaving them at the mercy of the messages they get from both the mainstream and ‘adult’ entertainment industries.” Orenstein’s book—required reading for parents of girls and boys—drives home the need for comprehensive sex-education programs emphasizing the giving and receiving of pleasure. In the absence of sex-ed programs that empower girls to see themselves not just as instruments of another’s pleasure but as autonomous individuals with a right to experience sexual pleasure—with a partner or on their own—girls wind up having a lot of consensual but crappy sex. That said, MIDDLE, one big takeaway from Orenstein’s research should come as a comfort to you: Bi and lesbian girls enjoy an advantage over their heterosexual peers. “In some ways, MIDDLE can feel more confident about her daughter as a gay girl,” said Orenstein. “Lesbian and bisexual girls I spoke to for Girls & Sex would talk about feeling liberated to go ‘off the script’—by which they meant the script that leads lockstep to intercourse—and create encounters that truly worked for them. I ended up feeling that hetero girls—and boys, too—could learn a lot from their gay and bisexual female peers. And I don’t mean by watching otherwise straight girls make out on the dance floor for the benefit of guys.” Since gay and bisexual girls can’t default to PIV intercourse, and since there’s not a boy in the room whose needs/dick/ego they’ve been socialized to prioritize, queer girls have more egalitarian and, not coincidentally, more satisfying sexual encounters. “Young women are more likely to measure their own satisfaction by the yardstick of their partner’s pleasure,” said Orenstein. “So heterosexual girls will say things such as, ‘If he’s sexually satisfied, then I’m sexually satisfied.’ Men, by contrast, are more likely to measure satisfaction by their own orgasm. But the investment girls express in their partner’s pleasure remains true regardless of that person’s gender. So the orgasm gap we see among heterosexuals (75 percent of men report they come regularly in sexual encounters versus 29 percent of women) disappears in same-sex encounters. Young women with same-sex partners climax at the same rate as heterosexual men.” As for good, sex-positive resources for teens of all identities and orientations, Orenstein had some great recommendations. “I’m a big fan of Heather Corinna’s S.E.X.: The All-You-Need-to-Know Sexuality Guide to Get You Through Your Teens and Twenties,” said Orenstein. “She also produces the Scarleteen.com website, which is fabulous. Other inclusive, sex-positive, medically accurate websites include Sexetc.org and Goaskalice.columbia.edu. And MIDDLE could think about giving her daughter a subscription to OMGYes.com, an explicit (but not tawdry) site that educates about the science of female pleasure. And finally, I think everyone who is a woman—or has had sex with a woman or ever hopes to— should read Emily Nagoski’s book Come As You Are. Even if you think you know it all, Nagoski’s book will transform your sex life.” Follow Orenstein on Twitter @peggyorenstein.

My husband and I are currently separated on a trial basis. He took all our condoms when he moved out, and I want to ask him if he plans on having sex with other women. I don’t have any intention of sleeping with other people while separated, but I think he may be interested in doing so, in part since we have been sexually active only with each other and he is trying to “find himself.” If either of us were to have extramarital sex without the consent of the other, I would consider that cheating. We’ve also been having sex with each other throughout our separation. But my husband refuses to discuss this aspect of our separation. He will discuss only co-parenting or financial issues. I would be okay with him having casual sex but not a romantic sexual relationship. -Wondering If Fidelity Enforceable Taking the condoms + refusing to discuss the sexual terms of your separation = your husband is almost certainly fucking other women. He probably figures it’ll be easier to get your forgiveness after the fact than to get your permission in advance— and if you don’t get back together, WIFE, he won’t even have to ask for forgiveness. If your husband refuses to have a dialogue about the sexual aspect of your separation, then you’ll have to make him listen to a monologue. Tell him you assume he’s having sex with other people and, if that’s not the case, he’ll have to use his words to persuade you otherwise. If he sits there in silence, or his words are unpersuasive, tell him you now feel free to have sex with other people, too. And while you can ask him not to enter into a romantic sexual relationship with anyone else, WIFE, you ultimately can’t control how he feels about who he’s fucking while he’s out there finding himself. If you aren’t comfortable fucking your husband while he’s fucking other women—and he almost certainly is fucking other women—let him know that and cut him off. I’m a 32-year-old straight male. Back in April, I met this girl. She seemed interested, but before we went out, she told me that she is a demisexual. (I had to google it.) After a few dates, she had me over to her place, we watched a movie and started making out. But when I started to put my hand between her legs, she calmly said, “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.” No problem, I told her, I wasn’t trying to rush her. Fast-forward a couple months. We’re still going on dates, we hug and kiss, we hold hands, we cuddle on the couch and watch movies—but still no sex. Is demisexuality real? Should I keep pursuing her? -Is She Interested Totally Or Not? Demisexuals are real people who “do not experience sexual attraction unless they form a strong emotional bond,” according to the definition at Asexuality.org. We used to call people who needed to feel a strong emotional bond before wanting to fuck someone people who, you know, needed to feel a strong emotional bond before wanting to fuck someone. But a seven-syllable, clinical-sounding term that prospective partners need to google—demisexuality—is obviously far superior to a short, explanatory sentence that doesn’t require internet access to understand. You’ve shown respect for this woman’s sexual orientation, ISITON, now it’s her turn to show some respect for yours. I don’t mean by putting out if she’s not ready or not interested, but by offering you some clarity about when or whether she’ll ever be interested. You’re seeking a romantic relationship that includes sex—which is not unreasonable—and you’ve demonstrated a willingness to make an emotional investment before a relationship becomes sexual. You don’t (or shouldn’t) want her to consent to sex under duress—you don’t (or shouldn’t) want her to have sex just to keep you coming over for cuddles—but if she doesn’t see you as a prospective romantic and sexual partner, ISITON, she should tell you that. If this relationship isn’t on track to become sexual, tell her you’re open to being friends—truly intimate friends—but you’ll have to direct your romantic attentions (and more of your time) elsewhere.

COURTESY MEGHAN LOCKARD
Meghan Lockard graduated St. John’s College in 2007, and this weekend returns to campus to present a Homecoming lecture titled “An Evolutionary Perspective on Oxytocin and the Interpersonal Bond” (3:15 pm Saturday Sept. 16. Free. St. John’s College, 1160 Camino Cruz Blanca, 984-6000). She discusses her research as a fellow in the labratory of neural circuits and behavior at Rockefeller University in New York City.

How does this translate to the study of oxytocin in humans? We can do things experimentally to nematodes that we can’t do to humans, for practical and ethical reasons. Genetics, for example—I can’t make a human that doesn’t have oxytocin and see what their behavior is like. … Oxytocin is important to our vascular system, so that fetus would be stillborn, and even if that weren’t the case, we don’t have time to wait around 20 years for a human to reach sexual maturity. Nematodes, on the other hand, reach sexual maturity in three days, and we can make them glow, and we can watch neural activity while they behave, and we can manipulate their neural activity with molecular tools. … One of the things I’m going to talk about is how, in our bodies, oxytocin and dopamine work together to promote a lot of social behavior, and it’s the same thing in the worm.

OK, that’s still a lot of big words. What it sounds like to me is: ‘Nematodes can make friends.’ I think it’s more like, ‘Nematodes can get off.’

EAD
This all sounds kind of heady. Can you explain what you’ll be talking about, for a layperson? I’m trying to make the argument that animals, even lower-form animals such as nematodes, have subjective experiences that are qualitatively different from ours, but are akin to what we experience, emotionally.

FASHION
Layering Queen
Local designer knows how to dress for fall
STO RY BY M A R I A EG O L F - RO M E RO I L L U S T R AT I O N S B Y T H E A M I L I N A I R É
L
ayering is a treasured weapon in the fashion world. It can make boring pieces wonderful and set rich textiles and patterns against each other in juxtaposition with the garment’s best qualities. A striped work blouse is made new when worn under a tight crop top, or an off-theshoulder sweater becomes an everyday favorite when you pair it with a band tee. Pulling off a layered look without looking like a bulky ragamuffin is, however, a skill. It can be an either-you-have-it-or-youdon’t kind of ability, like a green thumb. But imitation is the best way to fake it until you make it a little closer to building brilliant outfits—and I know just the gal to admire. Teo Griscom—a stylist, designer and the solo force behind online boutique and lingerie brand Unforeseen Circumstances—is a layering queen, and that’s only part of her magical ability to create looks that are simultaneously nostalgic and new. Griscom is a fellow retro-philiac, and has a collection of vintage items in her online shop. “I love the construction and history of the old pieces; I think that
really informs fashion today,” she says. “I love mixing, say, an old pair of jeans with something fancy.” Born and raised in Galisteo, New Mexico, Griscom dove into creativity in college at the Art Institute of Chicago, where she studied printmaking, painting and photography. In ’99 she moved to New York City and got her first taste of working
in the fashion industry as the production manager of Brooklyn Handknit’s small studio. “And then I started working for other labels and I’ve been doing that ever since,” Griscom tells SFR. In 2003 she started designing and created her own women’s wear line called Jackson, Johnston and Roe with two other New Mexicans, Sara Moffat and Riley Salyards. “It’s all of our mothers’ maiden names,” she tells SFR; “we had that for about 10 years.” The brand—which was praised from fashion magnums like InStyle and Refinery 29—focused on eco-friendly fashion long before the likes of Reformation, and revived vintage prints and styles. “With everything I’ve ever done, it’s been really important that it’s made in the US,” Griscom says. “Having small production, it’s more about the quality than the quantity for me.” In 2011, Griscom founded her solo lingerie venture Unforeseen Circumstances. Past collections have featured an array of underwear like camis, shorts, bras and bodysuits. In addition to selling an array of garments under the umbrella of Unforeseen Circumstances and designing her own pieces, Griscom has also created collaborative collections for brands like Calik Denim and Japan-based Kapital. She says the high desert is her source of inspiration. “I think New Mexico and the surrounding area is such an influence, and speaks to every creative endeavor I’ve done.” You’ll see the green hues of pine trees and a sampling of sandy earth tones in her designs. As a Southwest-based aesthetic force, Griscom also influences the fashion world by styling shoots for other brands like Filson and the aforementioned Kapital. This branch of her work has taken her around the world to exotic locations; think
Layer this shirt or forever be bummed.
Hawaii, Thailand and Peru. “I love it,” she says, “I just love putting the combination of things together and the travel and the people you meet along the way. ... I love the crazy 14-hour days, getting up at five in morning and working with the photographer.” Creative brands street-cast many of their models—pulling real characters from life and dressing them in their designs for a shoot. “They’re always really interesting and you style them after what their craft is or who they are,” Griscom explains. Having a hand in so many facets of fashion makes Griscom’s sense unique, and her curated shop stands out in a world of Urban Outfitters look-alikes. You won’t see pieces from Unforeseen Circumstances at other places, and that’s part of its allure. Like all sweater lovers and cozy-seekers, Griscom says she’s excited for the change in season. “I love fall, just for all the layering. That’s the best part of it.” See? I told you she was a layering queen. The best place to currently shop her collection is on the web at unforeseencircumstancesshop.com. Or, you can contact Griscom for a private appointment to see her studio; if you’re anything like me, this sounds like heaven. At the very least, browse her Instagram (@ unforeseencircumstances) to borrow tips on wearing a sweater, a jacket and a vest all together while looking like you’re so ahead of the fashion game, you don’t even consider it.

Facts: I’m single, I live alone, I don’t
like to cook but I do love to eat. This is the perfect recipe for someone who goes to restaurants and bars by themselves … a lot. Luckily for me, eating alone in Santa Fe is actually awesome. My criteria for a favorite: comfortable ambiance, nice waitstaff, good fare and a crowd that tends to be friendly. (I may go out by myself, but I still like to talk to people.)
Party of One
Ranch House and asked the hostess if I could just head into the bar. “Oh, sure,” she said, “the manager loves you.” “I’m sorry,” I said, “I think you’re confusing me for someone else. I don’t know the manager.” “No,” the hostess said, “we know who you are. Go on in.” And that’s when I realized just how often I go to the Ranch House to eat a half rack of ribs by myself. But I mean, come on. They’re red-chile-honeyglazed and come with two sides (I get the butternut squash and calabacitas) and a huge hunk of green chile cornbread with whipped butter, all for $17.95. Tack on a Harvest Mule ($8), made with vanilla vodka and ginger beer, and you’re set. I can’t even see the word “ribs” without craving a trip to the Southside.

It’s right near my house, that $7 pineapple cider lava lamp (cider with a float of frozen margarita) is legit and the servers are great. My favorite C-Girl time is late afternoon. Sometimes I slip out of work early and head over to the bar, where there are always a few service-industry types from other restaurants having a drink either after the lunch shift or before the dinner shift. Most of them know each other and conversations are easy and interesting. I watched one regular sketch another regular on a placemat; he asked the bartender to hang it by the clock.

I get a Beet Goes On with grilled chicken ($17.95), a Vinny Sunrise (grapefruit soda with hibiscus, $3.75), maybe a cup of gumbo ($5), sit back in the simple surroundings and space out peacefully. If it’s nice out, Vinaigrette has one of the most underrated patios in town—it wraps all the way around the back of the restaurant and is tree-shaded, refreshing and tucked away from Cerrillos traffic. Also of note is the soundtrack at this stop; whoever chooses Vinny’s Spotify station, hats off to you. Weirdo tunes that sound decidedly non-weirdo until you listen harder are my favorite things to enjoy while I sip an aesthetically pleasing sparkling drink.

BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
Filmmakers have been having a go at Stephen King’s horror honor roll stories since half the people in the audience were in diapers, and the newest rendition has echoes of blood-soaked Carrie (both the 1976 and 2013 versions) and kid bonding that recalls Stand by Me (1986). What it doesn’t do is bring up the 1990 version of itself. The new It for the big screen is not It made for TV. And it’s not a straight line from the book either. Among King’s best works are those that hold central a group of children, and the young actors who take on these roles in Mama director Andy Muschietti’s new effort are a convincing, cohesive bunch. Jaeden Lieberher leads the pack as Bill Denbrough, whose brother Georgie famously dies in the unchanged classic opening scene involving a paper boat and a yellow slicker. After the disappearance of dozens of children and after the end of school, the story joins “the losers’

club” on their misadventure of summer. Punchy dialog like “yo-mama” one-liners from the group of boys meets the obvious adolescent fun of the only girl in the gang; Sophia Lillis (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) has amazing eyes as Beverly Marsh. Few adults even utter substantial lines in the telling, and most of them are bruised and shadowy characters. They can’t see even see the clown monster, Pennywise (a justifiably terrifying and CGI-enhanced Bill Skarsgård). The club discovers a pattern—that Pennywise feeds on fear and returns every 27 years to feast on children in the town. What a great setup for
another movie, right? And, if they follow the latest scheme of turning one book into three movies a la The Hobbit, maybe even a third. This script takes enough liberties with the original work that it’s both annoying and intriguing to see what’s next, but it feels like planned obsolescence. Still, we’ll be there on opening night again to see where it goes all the same. IT Directed by Muschietti With Lieberher, Lillis and Skarsgård Violet Crown, Regal, R, 135 min.

+ GORGEOUS TRAVELOGUE - OCCASIONALLY TEDIOUS DIALOGUE
The third edition of this combination buddy pic/ travel documentary franchise is neither a box office nor critical darling. But actor-comedians Steve Coogan (Philomena) and Rob Brydon (Cinderella) have found a mostly satisfying recipe. Like the first two Trip movies, this one is concocted from a six-episode BBC television series. Director Michael Winterbottom (A Mighty Heart) parted-out the first offering admirably, and beats the second edition here. The premise is the same: Coogan and Brydon pair up to review a half-dozen restaurants and we’re privy to their mealtime banter, as well as their often more reflective road-trip dialogue about what it means to be successful and happy, how we get there and with whom we choose to share the journey. It always includes impressions—the Michael Caine exchange from the first film is an absolute classic—and this time around the two are at their best when swapping takes on Mick Jagger and David Bowie. There’s Brando and De Niro and John Hurt. And more Michael Caine. There’s even Brydon doing Mick

Jagger doing his own Michael Caine impression, which is a feat that’s over before you realize how smart it was. This is familiar ground—all of it—but it’s also comfortable ground. There’s a bit of Curb Your Enthusiasm to the pair’s interaction, and this is largely entertaining, often hilarious and not afraid to veer into the awkward. But occasionally it falls flat, such as when Brydon and Coogan lapse into Roger Moore impressions.

We’re supposed to be in on the joke that they sometimes can’t stop themselves, but even still, we’re left feeling like they should have.

Still, you’ll walk away hungry and, for the most part, happy. (Matt Grubs) Violet Crown, NR, 115 minutes

+ FANTASTIC CINEMATOGRAPHY - TOO MUCH FILMMAKER, NOT ENOUGH SUBJECT
Do we experience physical pain because we actually are in pain, or because we fabricate it to distract us from unthinkable thoughts? Documentary filmmaker Michael Galinsky, a lifelong back pain sufferer, attempts to answer this question and, in the process, embarks on a personal quest and highlights the work of NYC-based doctor John E Sarno, the formulator of tension myositis syndrome (TMS), a fancy term for the aforementioned brain distraction concept. Sarno posits that past emotional traumas— think unresolved feelings toward parents or relationships or challenging situations from childhood—are some of the culprits of TMS rather than only traditional causes such as spinal discomfort, nerve damage, etc. According to Sarno, TMS often presents as neck or back pain, estimating that some 88 percent of those he’s treated have found relief through his multi-pronged approach: read his books, attend his lectures, journal every day and exercise more. Of course, this could sound either like too-obvious advice or like snake oil (buy the CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

And though we must admit it starts to make a lot of sense (as do the subjects of most well-crafted documentaries), Galinsky seems to dive too deep into his own personal experiences, pathos and pain issues, practically forcing Sarno into a supporting role. Scenes of Galinsky writhing in agony on the floor are almost more prevalent than interviews with Sarno, and later moments in the film that provide thoughts from other medical professionals or point out other books that align with Sarno’s ideas feel buried. Do Sarno’s theories and methods ring true, or are they like any number of unproven medical ideas that reverberate throughout our modern world? It’s hard to say in the end, but one doctor’s position that it’s more profitable to peddle pills and procedures over intensive care methodology, such as Sarno’s, still hurts.

IN PURSUIT OF SILENCE

+ QUIET HOPE MIGHT BE THE ONLY
THING YOU CAN REALLY CONTROL
- SILENCE AIN’T FOR EVERYONE
Two years after its UK debut, audiences in the United States are invited to chase something elusive. Isn’t that what we want? To incessantly seek? Here, we can find. In the Pursuit of Silence is a ponderous, beautiful work that reminds us silence isn’t possible to comprehend as the absence of sound, but the disruption of life’s cacophony. And it’s a disruption humankind needs to hold dear. Director Patrick Shen’s documentary chops include being the celebrated director and producer of Flight from Death in 2003, about how the fear of mortality drives our social behavior. He’s also the brain behind The Philosopher Kings, the story of janitors in big-name universities, in 2009. His newest movie combines voices of those who have, in some cases, devoted their lives to study of quietude, and of the effects that a lack of it has on our bodies and minds—most segments feature their faces for several moments of silence. As much as it decries the noise pollution of urban life, it reclaims its own time to hold moments of precious minimum noise, sometimes marked with a tagline and a decibel measurement. In places like Denali National Park in Alaska, it’s possible to hear fewer than 30 decibels in the ambient sound captured among the snowy crust. At an elementary school near the train tracks in New York City, the level jumps to 98. (The US Occupational Health and Safety
Administration says decibel levels above about 85 require ear protection for workers). Recently, I’ve taken to wearing earplugs for the big screen, and sorely regretted foregoing this new habit during this summer’s viewings of Dunkirk and Atomic Blonde. The Pursuit of Silence comes with no regrets, however, as the soundscape Shen offers is the polar opposite: crashing waves, falling rain and gentle breeze through the corn. Delicate sound; sound you hear if you’re quiet yourself. It’s even better if you hear it in real life. (Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, R, 121 min.
MENASHE

+ PAINSTAKINGLY AUTHENTIC - A LITTLE SHORT
Director Joshua Weinstein presents an intimately heartbreaking and painstakingly accurate depiction of the Hasidim living in Brooklyn in Menashe, a tale loosely based on the life of its star, Menashe Lustig. Menashe lost his wife a year prior to the events of the film, and Hasidic law dictates his son Rieven must be raised with a complete family (we even learn that should Menashe remarry, the stepmother wouldn’t be allowed to touch his son). Thus, Rieven is sent to live with Menashe’s brother, a decidedly humorless stickler for rules who affords Menashe little respect and imposes the strictest of upbringings on his nephew. Thematically, the film could have played out in any sort of community—love, loss and the underdog are universal—but by delving deep into the laws, customs and everyday lives of Hasidic Jews in New York, we are given a rarely-seen glimpse into a sect that operates in plain view but whose inner-workings remain unknown to most. Lustig is phenomenal as the downtrodden father figure caught between his religion and love for his son. He’s far from perfect, and his penchant for cracking jokes damages his credibility in the eyes of his brethren. But observing constant humiliation driven by his boss, his brother, his rabbi or at arranged dates makes us root for him, even as he struggles to pay rent, feed his son and get to work on time. Menashe is presented primarily in Yiddish, and Weinsten goes so far as to cast ultra-orthodox New Yorkers, most of whom perform without a film credit. Not only does this add unprecedented authenticity to the film, it surprises with each natural performance; this is as real as it gets. Add fantastic examples of traditional Jewish music and just enough humor and heart, and we’ve got one of the most fascinating and engrossing films of the year.

+ DANIELLE MACDONALD IS A MUCH BETTER ACTOR THAN EMINEM
- HAVE I SEEN THIS BEFORE?
Patricia Dombrowski, aka Killa P, aka Patti Cake$, is an aspiring rapper. She’s undeniably talented, but she doesn’t fit the template of what the music industry expected a rapper to look like—she’s a fat white girl. The “chasing your dreams” picture is not a new idea. It usually goes something like this: The main character has a talent and a dream. They usually live in a shitty place and have a shitty job, which is only extra motivation for their ultimate goal. Obstacles and rivals rise and fall in front of them, and then there’s a final test which shows off their skills, heart, dedication. It probably doesn’t matter if they win or lose. Within that framework, director Geramy Jasper’s first feature film is pretty entertaining. Patti is charming and relatable. She’s filled simultaneously with self-confidence and selfdoubt. Australian actress Danielle Macdonald gives one of those performances where it would be difficult to imagine anyone else playing the role: like Tony Soprano or Napoleon Dynamite. The story takes place in a fully developed world of suburban New Jersey’s hell of highways, parking lots and gas stations. Jasper, who also wrote the script, imbues the world with subtle attention to detail and tough love for his characters that reminds me a bit of Mike Leigh. But ultimately, Patti Cake$ is a simple story done well, with lively performances and positive energy. (R Mitchell Miller) Violet Crown, R, 108 min.
+ RELENTLESS YET BEAUTIFUL - LOTS OF PEOPLE JUMPING OFF SHIPS
In 1940, near the start of World War II, the Allied forces suffered a tremendous defeat against German troops in the town of Dunkirk in France. Subsequently, 300,000 soldiers would be evacuated by military and civilian watercraft, but not before immeasurable losses. It’s a harrowing tale not known to many who aren’t WWII buffs before now, but in Christopher Nolan’s sprawling yet concisely told Dunkirk, we see the tragic events play out with a relentless pace and attention to detail. We follow three main narratives; that of soldiers stranded on a beach waiting for rescue over the period of a week, an hour in the lives of British fighter pilots, and a single day for a civilian pleasure yacht captain who helps retrieve said soldiers alongside his son and his son’s friend. Nolan presents an off-kilter look at each timeline, weaving in and out of the stories, though Dunkirk never feels disjointed. Rather, as

bits and pieces from each angle are revealed, we begin to understand the incredible scope of the evacuation and just how lucky the survivors really were, though we’re faced with some hard truths before the credits roll. It is, in fact, somewhat rare to see a mainstream film that deviates from the cinematic formula, but Nolan doesn’t let up for an instant. From the terrifying desperation of those stranded on the beach to a shell-shocked soldier (Cillian Murphy of Netflix series Peaky Blinders as well as Nolan’s Batman films) too broken to return to battle and a selfless dogfighter (Tom Hardy) barely hobbling along in the sky, dialogue becomes sparse compared to the frantic reality of sinking ships, dropped shells and the cruelty of the human survival instinct. Of course, there are only so many times you can see a bunch of soldiers abandon a ship, and the jarring nature of the heaving seas becomes nearly as difficult to watch as the violence. Still, moving performances from Mark Rylance and Kenneth Branagh—not to mention a surprisingly natural turn from Harry Styles (yeah, from One Direction)—remain a joy to watch, and the utter unfairness and brutality of war hang heavy over every last scene. This isn’t just one of the best war movies in recent memory, it’s one that will no doubt be shown in schools and referred to forever as an artful depiction of one of the ugliest chapters in human history.

Rob Brezsny
Week of September 13th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Two animals are pictured prominently on Australia’s coat of arms: the kangaroo and the large flightless bird known as the emu. One of the reasons they were chosen is that both creatures rarely walk backward. They move forward or not at all. Australia’s founders wanted this to symbolize the nation’s pledge to never look back, to remain focused on advancing toward the future. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to make a similar commitment, Aries. Is there a new symbol you might adopt to inspire your intention?
pain and confusion are preparing me for. Can you offer me any free advice? -Lost Libra.” Dear Libra: The pain and confusion come from the dying of the old ways. They need to die a bit more before the new direction will reveal itself clearly. I predict that will happen soon—no later than October 1.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Simpsons is an animated sitcom that will soon begin its 29th consecutive year on TV. During its run, it has told over 600 stories. The creators of another animated sitcom, South Park, once did an episode entitled “Simpsons Already Did It,” which referenced their feelings that it was hard to come up with new tales because their rival had already used so many good ones. I bring this up, Taurus, because I suspect your life story will soon be spinning out novel plots that have never before been seen, not even on The Simpsons or South Park. You could and should be the Best Storyteller of the Month. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Love won’t exactly be free in the coming weeks, but there should be some good deals. And I’m not referring to risky black-market stuff obtained in back alleys, either. I mean straightforward liaisons and intriguing intimacy at a reasonable cost. So if you’re comfortably mated, I suggest you invest in a campaign to bring more comedy and adventure into your collaborative efforts. If you’re single, wipe that love-starved look off your face and do some exuberant window-shopping. If you’re neither comfortably mated nor single, money may temporarily be able to buy you a bit more happiness. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The current state of your fate reminds me of the sweet confusion alluded to in Octavio Paz’s poem “Between Going and Staying”: “All is visible and elusive, all is near and can’t be touched.” For another clue to the raw truth of your life right now, I’ll quote the poet William Wordsworth. He spoke of “fleeting moods of shadowy exultation.” Is the aura described by Paz and Wordsworth a problem that you should try to fix? Is it detrimental to your heroic quest? I don’t think do. Just the opposite, really: I hope you can hang out for a while in this pregnant mystery—between the yes and the no, between the dark and the light, between the dream and the reality. It will help you learn what you’ve been too restless to tune in to in the past. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The imminent future will be a favorable time for refurbished models and revived originals. They are likely to be more fun and interesting the second time around. I suspect that this will also be an auspicious phase for substitutes and alternatives. They may even turn out to be better than the so-called real things they replace. So be artful in formulating Plan B and Plan C, Leo. Switching over to backups may ultimately bring out more of the best in you and whisk you toward your ultimate goal in unexpected ways. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the coming weeks, you might want to read the last few pages of a book before you decide to actually dive in and devour the whole thing. I also suggest you take what I just said as a useful metaphor to apply in other areas. In general, it might be wise to surmise the probable outcomes of games, adventures, and experiments before you get totally involved. Try this fun exercise: Imagine you are a psychic prophet as you evaluate the long-range prospects of any influences that are vying to play a role in your future. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dear Dr. Astrology: I’m feeling lost, but am also feeling very close to finding my new direction. It hurts! It would be so helpful if I could just catch a glimpse of that new direction. I’d be able to better endure the pain and confusion if I could get a tangible sense of the future happiness that my
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Welcome to “Compose Your Own Oracle,” a special edition of Free Will Astrology. Departing from tradition, I’m temporarily stepping aside so you can have the freedom to write the exact horoscope you want. Normally, you might be in danger of falling victim to presumptuous arrogance if you imagined you could wield complete control over how your destiny unfolds. But in the days ahead, that rule won’t be as unyielding, because cosmic forces will be giving you more slack than usual. Fate and karma, which frequently impel you to act according to patterns that were set in place long ago, are giving you at least a partial respite. To get the maximum benefit out of “Compose Your Own Oracle,” identify three plot developments you’d like to weave into a self-fulfilling prophecy for your immediate future. Then start weaving. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Almost two-thirds of us confess that if we are alone, we might sip milk directly from the carton rather than first pouring it into a glass. Fourteen percent of us have used milk as part of our sexual activities. One out of every five of us admit that we have “borrowed” someone else’s milk from the fridge at work. Most shockingly, four percent of us brag that we have blown milk out our noses on purpose. I expect that in the next two weeks, you Sagittarians will exceed all these norms. Not just because you’ll be in the mood to engage in mischievous experiments and playful adventures with milk, but because you’re likely to have a loosey-goosey relationship with almost everything. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The coming weeks will an excellent time for you to raise funds in support of political prisoners, or to volunteer at a soup kitchen, or to donate blood at a blood bank. In fact, any charitable service you perform for people you don’t know will be excellent for your physical and mental health. You can also generate vivid blessings for yourself by being extra thoughtful, kind, and generous toward people you care for. You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when unselfish acts will yield maximum selfish benefits. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his novel The Jungle, muckraker Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) exposed the abominable hygiene and working conditions of the meat-packing industry. The uproar that followed led to corrective legislation by the U.S. Congress. Sinclair remained devoted to serving the public good throughout his career. He liked to say that the term “social justice” was inscribed on his heart. Drawing from his inspiration, Aquarius, I suggest you decide what your soul’s main motto is—and imagine that it is written on your heart. Now is a perfect moment time to clarify your life’s purpose, and intensify your commitment to it; to devote even more practical, tender zeal to fulfilling the reason you were born.

PSYCHICS
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You know that “patch of bothersome weeds” growing right in the middle of your life? Is it really a patch of bothersome weeds? Or is it perhaps a plot of cultivated blooms that once pleased you but has now turned into a puzzling irrelevancy? Or how about this possibility: Is it a chunk of languishing beauty that might flourish and please you again if it were cared for better? Those are excellent questions for you to pose in the coming days, Pisces. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, it’s time for you to decide on the future of this quizzical presence. Homework: Are you ready for an orgy of gratitude?
