Under the crust of that portion of Earth called the United States of America − “from California . . . to the Gulf Stream waters” − are interred the bones, villages, fields, and sacred objects of American Indians. They cry out for their stories to be heard through their descendants who carry the memories of how the country was founded and how it came to be as it is today.

The Trump presidency presents massive, new threats to the protection of civil rights and liberties, long under assault—but also entirely new political opportunities.

— Glenn Greenwald

Glenn Greenwald is an investigative journalist and author.

A former constitutional lawyer, he founded the online global media outlet The Intercept with Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill in 2014. He is the author of several best sellers—most recently No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the US Surveillance State. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his investigative journalism and was named one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers for 2013 by Foreign Policy magazine. He is a recipient of the Lannan Cultural Freedom Award.

Greenwald will speak about political trends and civil liberties in the Trump era.

COVER, SEPT. 13: “UNDER PROTEST”

CALLING ALL RAZA There is no reasonable explanation for the celebration of anti-Indigenous violence, brutality and enslavement, not to mention genocide practiced by the Spanish imperial system along the Rio Grande. For the raza reading this, this is not our culture and although it has in some ways become it, it in fact is a celebration of the very same white supremacy that was destroying our connections to the land and exiling us alongside Pueblo and other American Indian people in New Mexico, They always want to use us to make money but like all other Indigenous/ Mexicanx people, they hate that we dare live near them or survive their machinations.

Jennifer Marley seems to have daddy issues. Because her dad was of European decent and she doesn’t like the way he treated her family she has to take it out on the Santa Fe Fiestas. In Northern New Mexico we are all mixed, Spanish and Native American. But I guess Marley chooses to pick sides.

VICTORIA FLORES SFREPORTER.COM

NOT HER FAULT? I think Jennifer Marley is an incredibly brave and empowered young woman. For those of us who saw what happened, she was snatched by police as they attempted to curtail the movements of protesters at Washington and Marcy. It was scary because they acted as if she was armed and dangerous, and of course she was not.

If they got hit by her signs it is because of their actions, not hers.

JULEE CLEAR SFREPORTER.COM

THEY HAVE EVERYTHING How fucken sad. Really? I’m Hispanic with Native American heritage as well. Most of these so-called Indigenous peoples are halfbreeds as well. Fifty years ago they were ashamed of being called Indian. Now they have housing, casinos, healthcare, they’re not being tortured, they’re not being put in ovens or round up and being killed.

“SAM IN SANTA FE”

HUMBLE PIE AT HARRY’S In my opinion not enough has been said or written about [Sam Shepard] and his connection to Santa Fe. ... He was a very talented and multi-faceted man. ... But, from what I can ascertain, you would never know it as he was a humble man. I saw him once at Harry’s Roadhouse (one of his haunts) sitting in the corner minding his own business. He was comfortable in the West and the East. A man who lived life fully, until he could no longer.

As with the passing of Jim Harrison last year, the death of Sam Shepard represents the loss of an iconic literary giant. The two writers embraced the West after migrating here from their Eastern roots. The way they were both pithy characters of their adopted landscape, yet also reluctantly entangled in Hollywood life, made them wholly unique figures in our culture. ...

on Davenport stares out the window as the train zips north toward his home in Santa Fe. The television writer laments that work on his current script will have to wait as he boards the Rail Runner in Los Lunas, where he’d been visiting friends.

An unstable internet connection renders his commute unproductive. “It’s two hours looking at the pretty scenery, but I could be working,” Davenport tells SFR on a recent Thursday afternoon.

When Gov. Bill Richardson rolled out plans for the New Mexico Rail Runner Express in 2003, the project was justified as a means to free up commuter traffic on I-25. In many ways, the train was meant for working professionals.

The Rail Runner travels up to 79 mph between Santa Fe and Belen. At its sporadic stops, the train’s doors shut with the same “beep-beep” noise the Looney Tunes roadrunner makes. The snail-like internet connection clashes with naming the train after one of the world’s fastest running birds, and compares only in the way it rarely leaves the ground.

Internet connection has been spotty at best for the past two years and there’s no determined repair date, says Augusta Meyers, communications manager at the Rio Metro Regional Transit District, which is on contract to manage the train system for the state. The communications towers on which the system relies are out of commission from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, leaving riders at the mercy of which car they’re in and where the train is traveling along its route.

Further, radios once used in the train’s cars in conjunction with the towers were made by Alvarion, an original Rail Runner contractor that filed for bankruptcy in 2013.

Lecture & Workshop

Stephen Kenneally, M.A., M.B.A., MFT Jungian analyst teaching and practicing in Santa Monica, CA

Lecture: Shame — Protector and Destroyer of the Self Friday, September 22nd 7-9pm $10 2 CEUs or 2 Cultural CEUs

When at its best, shame can be a self-monitoring function of a social being. At its worst, it fragments the Self and separates us from a relationship with others. We are vulnerable to unbearable states of shame in the face of an environment that is not set up to develop or honor our Self. Shame is the basis for much self-destructive behavior including self-attack, addictive behavior, envy, rage, martyrdom, and persistent hiding. In this talk, we will explore some of the developmental and archetypal roots of shame. We will also look at the ways in which we cope with this painful state, both productively and unproductively, and we will discuss healing strategies.

Workshop

Saturday, September 23rd 9am-12:30pm $40 3 CEUs or 3 Cultural CEUs In the Saturday workshop we will continue to discuss healing strategies and use some experiential exercises to develop a better relationship with shame.

Both events at: Center for Spiritual Living, 505 Camino de los Marquez, Santa Fe Friday lecture and Saturday workshop tickets at the door.

How to Spark a Residential Renewable Revolution Community Solar is the key to unlock clean and affordable power

From reduced emissions and lower cost to greater energy independence and local self-reliance, the advantages of solar power are self-evident. With installation costs falling rapidly, Americans are now averaging one new residential solar project every 100 seconds.

But America’s transition from fossil fuels to clean and affordable renewables can and should be even faster.

Today, the hurdle to growth isn’t technology or cost. The issue is access.

State and local governments need to rewrite the rules to allow renters, condominium owners, and homeowners without sunny roof or lawn space the ability to access clean and affordable solar power.

There’s a simple and effective solution: Community Solar.

These shared energy projects allow a group of people to own a stake in and purchase power from local solar farms or “solar gardens”. These projects are a win-win: they create jobs, cut costs, boost local economies, and often allow lower-income communities to access the benefits of renewable power.

The idea is starting to take hold. There are 26 US states with one or more Community Solar project. In the coming years, America is likely to add as much as 3 gigawatts of Community Solar, compared to only 66 megawatts through the end of 2014.

But there’s an obstacle in the way of this renewable revolution: policies that block Community Solar in order to protect investor-owned utility monopolies from healthy competition.

In New Mexico, legislators again failed this year to pass legislation to legalize solar gardens and other shared clean generation facilities. As Christopher Ramirez of Juntos, a New Mexico nonprofit, put it: “We are misled to believe that the dirtiest energy is the cheapest option.”

In many areas of the country, utilities are actually angling to get in on the Community Solar action—providing their ratepayers with the option of purchasing solar power from a shared facility. While this can be a step in the right direction, we should still aspire for something better: community-owned, community-driven power that boosts local self-reliance and provides everyone access to the cheapest energy available today.

Community Solar should be a right. This is a cause that can unite environmentalists, advocates for under-served and low-income communities, and people who believe in free market competition. With an estimated 101 projects and 108 cumulative megawatts of installed capacity as of this year, Community Solar is already ascendant.

States and localities should rewrite unfair anti-solar rules and let solar gardens bloom.

hand-picked group of math and science experts said not to do it.

A focus group of 85 teachers, professors and school administrators, convened by former Education Secretary Hanna Skandera, said not to do it.

Christopher Ruszkowski wants to do it.

More than four years after a succession of professional groups began urging the state’s Public Education Department to implement unmodified Next Generation Science Standards in New Mexico schools, Ruszkowski—the governor’s pick to replace Skandera—is recommending new standards that change curriculum on human-caused climate change and evolution.

The state’s guidelines for the science taught in classrooms haven’t been updated since 2003, and those standards were based on recommendations from 1996.

This spring, SFR highlighted the stalled push to change them (Cover, “Sanitized Science,” March 29), and the growing concern among the scientific and educational community that political differences were behind the holdup.

The proposed revisions are woven throughout the standards, and make changes such as switching the words “process of evolution” to “biological diversity” or turning “climate change” into “climate fluctuation.”

Neither the governor nor Skandera would comment then and Ruszkowski wouldn’t answer questions from SFR this week.

“The PED has and will continue to listen and respond to input from all of New Mexico’s stakeholders across the state when putting together new content standards,” said Deputy Secretary of School Transformation Debbie Montoya in a comment emailed from a PED spokeswoman.

Now, the state is in a 30-day window for the public to submit comments about the proposed plans, and many are wondering just whom the department has been listening to if it hasn’t taken the advice of its own advisory groups.

“I think overwhelmingly both the educational and scientific community are disheartened by the proposed changes,” says Gwen Perea Warniment, the K-12 program director for the LANL Foundation. She’s part of a group that teaches inquiry-based science in New Mexico classrooms. That curriculum is based on the Next Generation standards, but meets current science requirements.

Warniment is also a member of the PED’s Math and Science Advisory Council. The council last met in April and she hasn’t heard anything since then that led her to believe Ruszkowski’s decision was coming.

She spent Tuesday morning speaking with the LANL Foundation’s board about the proposed standards that were

announced last week, and tells SFR that the board is concerned about “the hazy process through which these amendments have come into existence.”

Charles Goodmacher, a spokesman for the New Mexico branch of the National Education Association teachers union, says the proposed standards swap out established scientific principles for “non-scientific notions.”

He says the term “climate fluctuation” is an example of the corrosive effect of

putting political, unscientific terminology into science standards. “While that may sound like balanced language, given that average annual temperatures do indeed rise and fall over time, in reality global temperatures continue their upward trend,” he says.

There’s no scientific debate over evolution or climate change, Goodmacher says.

The differences are purely political.

State Rep. Andrés Romero, D-Albuquerque, says the new standards amount to “pandering to the extreme right in the Republican Party.”

Romero tells SFR the rhetoric he’s heard from the education secretary has indicated the changes are supposed to reflect diverse perspectives and local values, but he says the state has already heard from science teachers around the state.

“When the PED originally put together the group, that was supposed to be a lot of the buy-in from the local level. So I really don’t understand where he’s coming from in terms of local control,” he says.

He worries that politicizing science standards now will penalize the state’s high school graduates when they go on to college or enter the job market.

“Nobody at Sandia or LANL is going to hire somebody who doesn’t have a solid science education,” Camilla Feibelman of the Sierra Club’s Rio Grande chapter says.

“NASA data shows that 2016 was the hottest year on record, breaking consecutive previous highs in 2014 and 2015. The 10 hottest years on record have all come since 1998. That’s data. That’s not belief. That’s just what the science shows.”

Feibelman says her group will mobilize to oppose the altered standards.

Warniment says her foundation is working on a statement voicing its own concerns and plans to release it this week.

While she’s disheartened by the department’s proposal, she adds: “I respect a lot of people at PED and feel like they’re thoughtful. I hope that they listen to their stakeholders.”

t’s rush hour on I-25. Thousands of drivers hurtle home at 80 miles per hour on their way to Albuquerque from jobs in the capital city. They are thinking about getting home. Or maybe they’re thinking about dinner. Many have stopped thinking about work.

Some seem to have stopped thinking entirely.

“It’s crazy, the things I’ve seen,” Bruce Brown tells SFR. He’s been driving to work in Santa Fe for the past two years.

“It’s not like it’s bumper-to-bumper traffic, or needs to be. … But people are tailgating and driving like it’s NASCAR.” Often, he says, he’ll look in his rearview mirror and see the person riding his bumper is also looking at their cellphone.

“I see people drifting out of their lane every day,” Brown says. “It’s a very common thing.”

Texting and driving has been against the law in New Mexico since 2014, yet the law doesn’t seem to be making drivers pay attention. Statistics from the state Department of Transportation’s Traffic Safety Bureau show driver distraction has been on the rise since then—both the number of crashes and its share of total crashes on the road.

In Santa Fe, drivers have been banned from using hand-held cellphones since 2002. In 2005, officers wrote more than 2,000 tickets for cellphone violations.

Today, police say distracted driving is the city’s number one cause of accidents.

But this year, through the end of August, Santa Fe police officers have written just 424 tickets to motorists for talking or texting while driving.

“We don’t have enough people on the street to tackle every case we see,” writes police spokesman Greg Gurule. Police have to make choices. A driver might be blatantly talking on a hand-held phone or clearly have their face buried in a text message. They could be using both

Santa Fe isn’t alone in its frustration with anti-distraction laws that don’t seem to do anything other than get people to stash their phone as soon as they see a cop. Nationwide, traffic safety experts say that when cities or states pass a ban on hand-held cellphone use, drivers do change their behavior. They go hands-free more often and they limit texting. But many don’t stop, and there hasn’t been a corresponding drop in crashes.

“That’s what’s really been perplexing to us,” says Jessica Cicchino, vice president of research at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in Arlington, Virginia. What she and others who have studied distracted drivers have

found is an incredibly complex equation that has no clear solution. There are almost limitless ways drivers can be distracted, and factors like the strength of the economy can contribute to who is on the road and when.

“Drivers have been distracted since driving began,” Cicchino tells SFR. “People talk to their kids, they talk to other people in the vehicle. They eat and drink. They change the radio station.”

She fully admits that distractions like texting are particularly troublesome, but says researchers have noticed a tendency of drivers to do more challenging things like eating or texting when they’re stopped at a light or stop sign. Cellphones were still the most prevalent distraction in a recent IIHS study, but drivers seem to at least unconsciously acknowledge that they require more attention than it’s often safe to give.

2013 “We did research over the last three years—cognitive, emo2015 tional, sensory motoric—and what we found was that any task that requires taking your eyes off the road is a potentially very serious distraction,” he says.

Drivers seem to be able to make symmetrical corrections when they’re talking or singing or drinking a cup of coffee and looking at the road. Small adjustments can be made almost subconsciously to keep a car in its lane. But the human brain doesn’t do well when the eyes aren’t targeting what’s ahead.

That’s when asymmetrical corrections happen. Drivers veer out of a lane and

jerk the wheel back too far. Or they brake too hard. These are more common results, Wunderlich says, when drivers are manipulating a hand-held device. They’re texting.

A University of Utah study in 2015 performed for the auto group AAA found that even hands-free technology like Apple’s Siri can distract a driver for more than the length of two football fields at 25 mph. It’s not hard to imagine how much could go wrong in that distance on a street in Tierra Contenta or in downtown Santa Fe. Nationwide, the number of drivers observed talking on the phone is actually down, but crashes are up. Pedestrian fatalities are up. But the research community hasn’t been able to reliably connect that to distracted driving.

For one thing, there are more cars on the road, and most roads haven’t gotten wider or better-maintained. The increase in drivers is partly because the economy has been improving, which means more people can afford a car, gas and insurance.

That’s especially true with younger drivers, who were laid off in droves when the economy hit the skids in 2007. They’re now on the road with less experience, but are more likely to be distracted.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found earlier this year that younger drivers don’t necessarily believe texting and driving or talking on a cellphone is wrong.

“Alarmingly, some of the drivers ages 19-24 believe that their dangerous driving behavior is acceptable,” David Yang, the foundation’s executive director, said in a news release at the time.

Lastly, distracted driving is an incredibly hard factor to measure. Police who generate the reports researchers use rarely witness a crash firsthand.

“If you’re distracted, unless you self-report that, there’s not really a way to track that,” Wunderlich says. “It’s very challenging. Distracted driving is reported in 14 percent of fatalities, but is it more? Probably. That’s probably the least amount that it is.”

David Berkeley bikes to Wood Gormley Elementary School each day with his kids. Jackson, a fifth-grader, has been pedaling to class since he was in kindergarten. His brother, Noah, is in second grade. The family lives about a mile from school.

“As a cyclist I definitely get to look into cars a lot, so I can see how much people are on their phones,” Berkeley says. “And it’s pretty frightening.”

ents a problem with drivers who blow through the stop signs at the bottom along Buena Vista Street.

“I always go first and then park myself in the middle [of the intersection] and let the kids zoom by,” Berkeley tells SFR. Just last week, he almost got nailed

by a driver who was either not expecting someone or too distracted to notice the stop sign.

The kids have spent their young lives on bikes, and Berkeley says Jackson is now old enough—and savvy enough—to bike home alone on some days.

“I’m trying to be trusting,” he says, recalling zipping around his neighborhood on his bike when he was a kid. “But it’s a very different world than it used to be.”

Berkeley’s not about to get sanctimonious about distraction.

“I’m as guilty as anybody. I’ll eat and do all sorts of things, but it does seem like there’s people who think [texting] isn’t the danger that it is,” he says. People think they’re not as distracted as other drivers.

They can do both.

He then cautiously offers a theory that matches what researchers have found: “The problem is you can get so engrossed in the phone. There’s a different kind of time suck. You have a skewed sense of how long you’re distracted.”

That level of distraction—at 55 mph it takes just 5 seconds to cover a football field—is part of the reason the state has spent money on a spinoff of its ENDWI ad campaign called DNTXT. The antidrunken driving effort has helped reduce DWI fatalities by 45 percent in a decade, says Richard Kuhn, ad agency executive

and creator of the campaign. But that’s driven by federal money from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

There’s no such money available for antitexting ads.

“People forget,” Kuhn says about the need for such a campaign. “Unless we’re in front of them over and over again saying: This is what happens.”

RK Venture, Kuhn’s company, has produced billboards and other kinds of advertising. But he says there’s little state money available for getting ads on television to provide the kind of constant reminder he thinks is necessary.

Plus, it’s harder to track the impact of such an awareness campaign. People don’t volunteer their distraction to police.

Unless it’s obvious, inattentiveness may go unreported. Lawmakers can’t see what kind of bang they get for their buck.

“The laws are new,” Kuhn adds. “I think we’re in the middle of the pack as far as how tough they are—$100 for the the first offense and $200 for the second.

I don’t know if that’s enough of a deterrent.”

Back at City Hall, it’s clear Signe Lindell isn’t a fan of useless laws. She wants to believe the ban on hand-held cellphones, particularly texting on them, is working.

“Intuitively, we think that we would be safer. I think texting is much more distracting than conversing on the phone,” Councilor Lindell says.

She admittedly spends most of her time downtown and, remembering an old bumper sticker that said “Pray the rosary for me; I drive Cerrillos Road,” she’ll take the sane alternative, Agua Fría Street, to the Southside. But no one who’s on the road can avoid some sort of interaction with a driver who seems to be doing something else as a primary activity.

“When people are distracted, they roll through stop signs, they don’t put their turn signals on—I’ve had three emails in the last week complaining of no signal use,” she says.

The city has found there aren’t easy solutions to the problem. Really cracking down takes more police, something Santa Fe doesn’t have. And, Chris Rivera says, many drivers don’t seem terribly interested in changing their habits. Instead, they’ve become experts at not getting caught.

“People are getting smarter about how they do it. They put their phone down low or they put it on speaker,” Rivera muses. “It still leads to inattentiveness, but it makes enforcement very difficult.”

Kevin Fedarko (right) and Peter McBride hiked the length of Grand Canyon to make the case for saving it.

Suffering for a Good Story Former Santa Fean returns to talk about through-hiking the Grand Canyon and the threats it faces

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

T

he Grand Canyon’s walls chart 17 million centuries, a third of this planet’s lifetime, and eons of water and wind have shattered them. From the main stem of the canyon, where the river laces through so far below as to often be silent and invisible, side canyons branch off, then splinter into their own side canyons. The puzzle is further complicated by ledges, which routinely cliff out, forcing would-be hikers to climb up or rappel down to another.

“You’re constantly moving in and out, and you’re constantly moving up and down, and you’re moving that way more than you’re moving laterally—it’s a really frustrating way to travel,” says Kevin Fedarko who, with photographer Peter McBride, section-hiked the length of the Grand Canyon over 14 months.

Efficient travelers float the canyon’s 277 river miles in about four weeks. On foot, Fedarko and McBride’s route totaled 700 or 800 miles.

“It becomes very difficult to calibrate because you’re going in and out of so many side canyons,” Fedarko says.

“So we’re not actually sure how far we walked.”

They sweltered through summers, shivered through storms that frosted cliff edges with inches of snow, and bled from cactus spines and blisters. While hiking hundreds of feet above the river, water often came from potholes filled by recent storms, sometimes so shallow they required plastic medical syringes to tap.

“It’s a place almost 6 million people go to every year to look in to, but there’s almost no way to walk from one end to the other—at least not easily—so that means the interior is filled with all these secrets that very few people go to or set eyes on,” Fedarko says. “It’s a secret in plain sight.”

McBride, filming the adventure, caught Fedarko referring to the experience as an ongoing river of pain, a stern epithet for a canyon that so obsessed him that it compelled him to quit his job as an editor at Outside Magazine and leave Santa Fe to work as an apprentice raft guide, rowing a boat carrying human refuse through some of the Colorado River’s fiercest rapids. The experience informed his book, The Emerald Mile: The Epic Story of the Fastest Ride in History Through the Grand Canyon.

Fedarko, it seems, likes to suffer for a good story. He’s writing up this latest trek for a book as well, while McBride works on a feature-length film. Both are striving to tell the story of the Grand Canyon in a way that makes the case for protecting it; despite benefitting from some of the country’s strongest conservation laws, preserving the Grand Canyon makes for a daily fight. Fedarko takes that campaign to the KiMo Theater (7 pm Thursday Sept. 21. Free. 423 Central Ave. NW, Albuquerque, 505-768-3522), a teaser to a 2018 National Geographic lecture tour.

The Grand Canyon, Fedarko says, “is a place that’s viewed by many if not most people to be kind of sacrosanct and per-

manently protected, and yet is beset by a whole range of development threats from literally every cardinal point.”

On the east, a developer has proposed a tramway to the confluence of the Little Colorado and Colorado rivers, a site considered sacred to the Hopi, Zuni and Navajo. A cable system of gondolas would take thousands of people a day to a walkway, restaurant and amphitheater on the canyon floor. South of the rim, a 2,200-home development has been proposed that could drain the area’s aquifer, choking off the springs that create idyllic oases deep within the canyon. Hundreds of helicopter tours come from the west, filling the air with thrumming noise.

Uranium mines to the north have already rendered streams radioactive, and pose a risk of contaminating the Colorado River for its millions of downstream drinkers.

Threats to the Grand Canyon aren’t new, says Roger Clark, program director for the Grand Canyon Trust. Over 30 years, that organization has fought coalfired power plants graying the park’s vistas; hydroelectric dams impeding a flood-driven ecosystem; helicopter tours once able to hover so close to Thunder River, a spot where water comes roaring out of the sandstone, that the waterfall couldn’t be heard. Some campaigns have gone on for so long they’ve outlived the people who initially undertook them.

“What’s going on today is a continuation of people finding different ways to make money off of Grand Canyon National Park and, in some ways, to exploit it,” Clark says.

Developers have argued some of these projects increase public access, but Fedarko contends that that ignores a key point about our national parks.

“If you provide access in such a way as to damage or impair the very thing that is drawing people into the parks,” he says, “you have negated the reason for protecting it in the first place.”

But for those willing to look (or, y’know, be of a certain age, though that sometimes happens even unwillingly), fantastic examples of music, along with exciting, enticing cover art, abound. Enter the Renesan Institute and lecturer Bruce Johnson, who dissects and discusses album art from 1930s jazz this Thursday at St. John’s United Methodist Church.

Johnson aims to examine the parallels and differences between East and West Coast jazz records and ways of life, delving into the importance the art had on selling records, the music itself and the concept of media one could actually hold in their hands. Not just for jazz fans, Johnson’s talk ought to prove enlightening for all. (Alex De Vore)

MUSIC SUN/24

Hold Onto Your Sackbuts These instruments aren’t dead, they’re immortal When you make unique music on dozens of obscure, nearly ancient instruments, new ways to package old-school sounds can be hard to find. For Música Antigua de Albuquerque, particularly founding members Art and Colleen Sheinberg, the newest inspiration came in the form of a game-night staple. In 1978, the Sheinbergs and four friends formed the group. Those four friends are different now, but they still play 15th-century European music on about 40 medieval instruments. Even musically inclined folks may be baffled by the list of instruments: cornemuse, crumhorn, gemshorn, ranket, sackbut—you get the picture.

“Trivial Pursuits” is Música Antigua’s answer to folks who know nothing about medieval trivia—or perhaps people who are experts and want to rub elbows with other smarties. The songs are grouped into the original categories from the trivia game: Geography, Entertainment, History, Arts & Literature, Science & Nature, and Sports & Leisure.

Each selection begins with a question, and the answers are within the music.

So, why don’t we see many ranket

quartets anymore? “They’ve fallen out of popularity because they’re difficult to play,” Art says of the instruments, adding that many have become obsolete along with technological advances. “They have more limits than modern-day instruments. … They’re more quirky.” For example, the crumhorn: “It’s a capped double-reed instrument, like an oboe or bassoon, but … the reed is inside the instrument, so you don’t have the control that you do with the exposed double reed. The sound quality is very buzzy and it has a limited range, and no dynamic control.” So, yeah— easy to understand why a musician would take an oboe over a crumhorn.

Thankfully, though, there are folks like Música Antigua to keep the latter alive, and to teach us what kind of wood is used in wattle-and-daub housing, too.

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

NOW This Amelia Bauer rocks hard for the National Organization for Women

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

T

he Santa Fe Opera was beyond packed on the evening of Saturday Sept. 9. For months, the information had swirled throughout the community: Some of the biggest-name bands operating today would play here to benefit the Santa Fe chapter of the National Organization for Women; they’d donate their time and performances; they believed in the cause.

And so did the people who quickly helped the event sell out.

But it also didn’t hurt that the lineup, including Albuquerque’s Heather Trost (fresh off her debut solo release), Baltimore’s Lower Dens, New York’s Tune Yards and TV on the Radio and, no more exciting but definitely more surprising, Wisconsin indie titan Bon Iver, was straight phenomenal—perhaps the single biggest show in Santa Fe, ever. We’re sorry if you missed it, too, because damn, that was a killer show.

But how did such an historic event come to be? Meet Amelia Bauer, an artist and a part-time Santa Fean who was born and schooled some here, but ultimately left for further education and a life in California and New York City, where she still lives half the year.

“I went to a [NOW] meeting and they were talking about raising money, and I raised my hand and said ‘Let’s do a show!’” she says. “I’ve always been engaged and done small things to raise money for causes but, post-election, I

felt like there were so many things under fire right then, so many people threatened, and I felt the most effective thing I could do was to focus the majority of my efforts on something that felt important to me—like reproductive rights and the fight for women’s equality. … The cultural misogyny that was exposed in the last election cycle was shocking.”

Put simply, the National Organization for Women is an all-volunteer citizenlobbyist group and fundraising effort, though that hardly touches on everything it does. NOW describes itself as “the grassroots arm of the women’s movement” and “dedicated to its multiissue and multi-strategy approach to women’s rights.” There are chapters all over the country, but here in New Mexico, which has surprisingly progressive reproductive laws compared to nearby states, it’s incredibly important to make resources available to women; many travel from around the country for access to our level of care, and offsetting some of those costs is just one of NOW’s benefits.

Says Bauer, “We have some of the leastrestrictive abortion access, and we are all dedicated to protecting that.” Regardless, an unprecedented lineup like the one of Sept. 9 was an accessible and fun way to do something good, and all those in attendance reaped the benefits just by purchasing concert tickets.

And there’s more to come. “Not only are we showing all these artists that everybody loves and respects and who care about these issues and believe in a woman’s right to choose and access their rights, but it also shows the community that young people care about it, too,” Bauer explains. “But it’s still a fight, and it’s not over.”

If you missed out on fighting said good fight at the last show, Bauer says there are still tickets available for the next one at the Santa Fe Opera on Monday, Sept. 25—Fleet Foxes and Beach House.

Either band on its own would have been a big enough deal in Santa Fe, but to have ’em both is really pretty phenomenal, especially in benefit form. Fleet Foxes, of

MUSIC course, rose to prominence in the aughts with alt.folk albums like 2011’s Helplessness Blues (they also spawned none other than Father John Misty, an original member who you may have heard about); the duo that is Beach House, meanwhile, has come to define the term “indie darlings” with darkly dreamlike compositions that recall the likes of shoegaze heroes like Mazzy Star or Slowdive, while still carving out their own niche.

On a more national level, Bauer says the concept is still being refined with an ultimate goal of more targeted performances from similarly respected acts.

With help from NYC-based talent agent Samantha Kirby Yoh of William Morris Endeavor, Bauer hopes to interface with promoters in places that need more assistance. “We’ve identified areas that are in greater need of this kind of support,” she says. “As you might imagine, Planned Parenthood in New York City has more support than in Birmingham, Alabama, so as bands are touring, they can have the opportunity to connect with a local organization rather than just saying, ‘We’re gonna give money to Planned Parenthood National.’” Now that you’ve heard about the plan, it seems so simple yet so elegant, right? Right.

In the meantime, snap up those Fleet Foxes/Beach House tickets while you can and pay attention to the Santa Fe chapter of NOW (visit nowsantafe.org). Bauer also points out that for those who wish to get involved, “it’s as simple as showing up to the next NOW meeting.” These go down the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm in the Kiva Room at downtown bar Del Charro (101 W Alameda St., 954-0320).

Moving Arts Española educates and opens minds through arts and performance.

Beyond the Border Española performance group schools in the art of empathy

BY ALICIA INEZ GUZMÁN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

n Isaac Jerome Lopez’s view, there aren’t any rules to improvisational theater. But if he could boil it down to two precepts, they would be: Don’t hurt your fellow actors or audience members, and think fast. He’s a 12-yearold actor and gymnast who has been taking classes for 10 years at Moving Arts Española (movingartsespanola.org), a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating through art. When I asked Lopez, a student of La Tierra Montessori School, if he considered himself a veteran of the organization, without skipping a beat he answered yes.

I first encountered Lopez on Sept. 9 at Santa Fe Art Institute where he, along with five other young actors from Moving Arts Española, were staging Beyond the Border, a “youth-created participatory performance and dialogue about the state of immigration policy and its effects on families in Northern New Mexico,” as the program stated. Ashley Ardilla Garcia, Magdalena Marcos-McNeil, Jeremiah Vigil, Diego Delgado and Analise Lopez all shared the stage. The youngest member was 11; the oldest was 20.

The actors’ movements began slowly—measured, even—with a spare narration by Delgado. There were no props, just the gray concrete floor and white walls.

As Delgado began to speak, each actor swayed, jolted, marched and, at one point, ran. A few members of the group emphatically formed a barrier, crossing their forearms to make an “X” shape. It immediately brought to mind the X-shaped barricades that line the US-Mexico border. But the gesture also said something about the hostile rhetoric around immigration—whether chosen or forced—and the increased policing of immigrants across American towns and cities. The performance then unfolded with a series of vignettes the actors generated with the help of a handful of community partners: Somos Un Pueblo Unido, the Dreamers Project, Rio Arriba County Sheriff James Lujan, as well as Delgado’s family; his father, as he mentioned at one point, had been deported over five years ago.

The vignettes followed the template of the Theater of the Oppressed, a type of performance with origins in 1970s Brazil.

At the risk of oversimplification, Theater of the Oppressed all comes down to a basic question: Given a certain set of circumstances, what would you do differently in another person’s shoes? Think Run Lola Run wherein scenes repeat, but instead of Lola changing the course of the narrative, it’s the viewers who do. Devon Hoffman, one of the adult practitioners who helped guide the direction that Beyond the Border would take, encouraged Santa Fe Art Institute attendees to tap in and take the place

of one of the actors. The eventual goal was to put different tactics to use, changing the outcome of a particular situation, from the frustrations of filling out paperwork in the office of an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement bureaucrat to interacting with a nosy—and potentially harmful—neighbor whose long Southern drawl set her apart from the undocumented workers in the scene. The reversals were provocative, though it was clear that audience members, myself included, rarely took on the part of an immigrant.

I didn’t realize it would be so complex with so many outcomes.

-Analise Lopez

If anything became clear, it was that playing the role of an empowered person was easier than putting oneself in the place of the marginalized. To symbolically take up an “other’s” nationality, ethnicity, sense of privilege or lack thereof was perhaps the greatest barrier. When one white woman did play the role of an un-

documented person, she mentioned how hard it was to have a voice even within the imagined constraints of a theatrical setting. At one point, Roger Montoya, artistic director of Moving Arts Española, added another wrench by playing the part of an anti-immigrant Chicano man who was sympathetic to his white neighbors’ complaints about immigration. As Analise Lopez put it, “I didn’t realize it would be so complex with so many outcomes.”

Of the residents in Rio Arriba County on the whole, about 25 percent live under the poverty line. Española is not a high-profile sanctuary city like Santa Fe; yet the community-based organization, located in the Pueblo of Ohkay Owingeh, produced in the capital city a more than worthwhile experience that put real people with real histories of deportation front and center. One byproduct that I couldn’t ignore, however, was that having a liberal stance on immigration can only go so far.

Montoya, along with Analise Lopez, currently a film student at Northern New Mexico College, will represent Moving Arts Española during conversations in Washington, DC later this month. They will discuss the future of the Reimagining Youth Leadership Project; it, along with two other organizations (Zygote Press of Cleveland, Ohio, and Sitar Arts Center in Washington, DC) was funded by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.

With recent ICE crackdowns and Trump’s recent push to repeal of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, watching and participating in Beyond the Border drove home the idea that empathy must be political, especially if we intend to work in the role of allies. The first and hardest step is attempting to comprehend circumstances that are not our own.

from them. Can someone who usually doesn’t “do” monogamy feel fulfilled in a “closed” relationship? Can it work out, or will they just slowly grow to resent me for this?

-Deliriously Anxious Monogamist Nervously Inquires Today I am a 35-year-old straight guy. I met a nice lady through the normal methods, and we hit it off and have grown closer. I think we are both considering “taking it to the next level.”

We are on the same intellectual wavelength, enjoy the same social experiences, and have a lot of fun together. So what could be the problem? My friend decided it was the time to inform me that she is transgender, pre-op, and will not be having gender-reassignment surgery. This was quite a shock to me. I’m not homophobic, though I’ve never had a gay experience. I’m open-minded, yet there is a mental block. I like this person, I like our relationship thus far, and I want to continue this relationship. But I’m in a state of confusion.

-Confused Over Complicating Knowledge Lemme get this out of way first, COCK: The nice lady isn’t a man, so sex with her wouldn’t be a “gay experience” and homophobia isn’t the relevant term.

Moving on…

You’re a straight guy, you’re attracted to women, and some women—as you now know—have dicks. Are you into dick? Could you develop a taste for dick? Could you see yourself making an exception for her dick?

It’s fine if “no” is the answer to one or all of these questions, COCK, and not being into dick doesn’t make you transphobic. Evan Urquhart, who writes about trans issues for Slate, argues that in addition to being gay, straight, bi, pan, demi, etc., some people are phallophiles and some are vaginophiles—that is, some people (perhaps most) have a strong preference for either partners with dicks or partners with vaginas. And some people— most people—want their dicks on men and their labia on/vaginas in women.

“There’s no shame in it, as long as it doesn’t come from a place of ignorance or hate,” Urquhart writes. “Mature adults should be able to talk plainly about their sexuality, particularly with prospective partners, in a way that doesn’t objectify or shame anyone who happens to be packing the non-preferred equipment.”

Some straight guys are really into dick (trans women with male partners usually aren’t partnered with gay men, and trans women who do sex work typically don’t have any gay male clients), some straight guys are willing to make an exception for a particular dick (after falling in love with a woman who has one), but most straight guys aren’t into dick (other than their own).

Since you’re confused about what to do, COCK, I would encourage you to continue dating this woman, keep an open mind, and keep taking things slow. You’ve got new information to process, and some things—or one thing—to think about before taking this relationship to the next level. But don’t drag it out.

If you conclude that the dick is a deal breaker, end this relationship with compassion and alacrity. You don’t want to keep seeing her “to be nice” if you know a relationship isn’t possible. Because letting someone live in false hope is always a dick move.

A few months ago, I started dating someone.

I made it clear early on that I didn’t feel comfortable being in a nonmonogamous relationship. They said that’s not usually what they’re into but they weren’t interested in seeing anyone else and they had no problem being monogamous. It’s not that I don’t trust them, and they’ve never given any indication that they’re unhappy with our arrangement, but I can’t shake the fears that, though they won’t admit it (maybe even to themselves), they’d prefer it if our relationship were more open and I’m taking something important away

If you stay together forever—what most people mean by “work out”—your partner will definitely grow to resent you. It could be for this reason, DAMNIT, or for some other reason, but all people in long-term relationships resent their partners for something. So if monogamy is the price of admission this person is willing to pay, let them pay it. There are a lot of people out there in closed relationships who would rather be in open ones and vice versa. And remember: What works for you as a couple—and what you want as an individual—can change over time.

My relationship with my husband is bad.

We have been together for twelve years, and we were married for eight years before getting divorced last year. We have small kids. We reconciled four months after the divorce, despite the affair I had. I have a history of self-sabotage, but in my relationship with him, it has become near constant.

Everyone thinks I’m a smart and kind person that occasionally makes mistakes, but I’m not that person with him. With him, I’m awful.

I make promises I don’t keep and I don’t do the right things to make him feel loved even though I do loving things. We have been in couples therapy a number of times, but I always derail the process. I have been in therapy solo a number of times with similar results. I always get the therapists on my side and no real change happens. I want to change but I haven’t. I want to stop hurting him but I keep doing it. He doesn’t feel like I have ever really fought for him or the relationship. Why can’t I change?

-My Enraging Self-Sabotaging Yearnings It’s unlikely I’ll be able to do for you in print what three couples counselors and all those therapists couldn’t do for you in person, i.e., help you change your ways—if, indeed, it’s your ways that require changing. Have you ever entertained the thought that maybe there’s a reason every counselor or therapist you see winds up taking your side? Is it possible that you’re not the problem? Are you truly awful, MESSY, or has your husband convinced you that you’re awful in order to have the upper hand in your relationship? (Yeah, yeah, you had an affair. Lots of people do and lots of marriages survive them.)

If you’re not being manipulated—if you’re not the victim of an expert gaslighter—and you’re awful and all your efforts to change have been in vain, MESSY, perhaps you should stop trying. You are who you are, your husband knows who you are, and if he wants to be with you, as awful as you are (or as awful as he’s managed to convince you that you are), that’s his choice and he needs to take some responsibility for it. By “stop trying” I don’t mean you should stop making an effort to be a better person or a more loving partner—we should all constantly strive to be better people and more loving partners—but you can’t spend the rest of your life on a therapist’s couch. Or the rack.

If you truly make your husband miserable, he should leave you. If your marriage makes you miserable (or if he does), you should leave him. But if neither of you is going anywhere, MESSY, then you’ll both just have to make the best of your messy selves and your messy marriage.

with Luis Tapia

COURTESY LUIS TAPIA

With the release of the book Borderless: The Art of Luis Tapia earlier this year, sculptor Tapia celebrates a career spanning more than four decades and, in the process, creates a retrospective anyone should be proud of. A massive and stunning overview of Tapia’s life’s work as a sculptor/wood carver that not only showcases great talent (such as the above self-portrait from 1995), it’s a staggering example of a prolific artist who never seems short on ideas. Lowrider culture, religious iconography, Northern New Mexico lifestyle and beyond are dissected and represented—not bad for a guy who was once asked to leave Spanish Market. Tapia signs copies of the book at 2 pm this Sunday at the Museum of International Folk Art (706 Camino Lejo, 476-1200) during the third annual Museum Hill Community Day, and we think you should be there. Meet Luis Tapia—your new hero. (Alex De Vore)

What comes after a huge book like this? Does it feel like a new chapter, so to speak?

It’s amazing to see. It’s my entire life, other than the sex. It’s 45 years. It’s 216 pages. It’s remarkable to see that. I’ve been working on these pieces for 45 years, give or take a day here and there, and all of a sudden ... these aren’t all the pieces I’ve done, but to see the core of these works come together in one unit. ... I don’t like talking about my work a lot. I like to leave it up to the viewer. I like the viewer to do it. I don’t have a lot of the answers myself. I can’t write it down, I’m not a guy who can get up on a stage and make all these explanations, but I can do it with my hands.

Your wife (historian/author Carmella Padilla) told me you prefer to be called “sculptor” over “santero.” Can you explain the difference?

This goes back to the historical aspects of my work.

I started doing traditional work, which was santero work—the making of religious objects, especially in the style of Northern New Mexico. But as time developed and I started to expand my work little by little, eventually I didn’t do the traditional work anymore.

It’s unfair for me to call myself a santero when there are 300 at [Spanish Market] every year who are santeros. Mine doesn’t resemble theirs; I prefer the title sculptor because it gives me freedom in what I do.

In the 1970s, you were asked to leave Spanish Market for not being “traditional enough.” Was this a bad thing? A good thing?

That was the best thing that ever happened to me.

At the time I didn’t think so, because I had two kids on the ground and was sculpting full-time, and it was very difficult in those days. Spanish Market was the only alternative Hispanic artists had—a lot of the galleries didn’t want to carry santos. It was pretty scary, but I started going to markets all around the country instead. I started exhibiting my work more outside the state than in; I wasn’t even known in New Mexico anymore.

THEATER

ACTING OUT The Prophet Backstage

BY C H A R LOT T E J U S I N S K I c o p y e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

lmost every theatrical production in Santa Fe this year has been uncomfortably relevant to our social and political zeitgeist. Some were more overt than others (Adobe Rose Theatre’s Building the Wall was a near-future story about Trump Administration immigration policies), some were more subtle (Teatro Paraguas’ Motherfucker With the Hat, which centered around addiction and communication); now, as we come up on announcements of new seasons, SFR poked around with some of the deciders of Santa Fe. Headed to the stage in October is Ironweed Productions’ The Crucible.

Ironweed founder and artistic director Scott Harrison sees the current importance of Arthur Miller’s canonical show, which tells the story of 17th-century witch hunts in Salem, Massachusetts, written in response to the Red Scare in the 1950s—but that’s not why he chose it.

Harrison rediscovered the play back in January 2016, with the simple goal of “producing a play that is scary or terrifying,” he tells SFR. He believes the story speaks for itself; “[Miller] wrote a universal story; to me, it suggests what happens when fear takes root in a family, a school, a community, a country.”

In describing the play, wherein young girls and greedy landowners accuse their neighbors of witchcraft for revenge, Harrison was struck by the concept of a place in which “little children are jangling the keys to the kingdom and common vengeance writes the law,” as main character John Proctor decries.

“There’s a certain amount of hatred that’s been unleashed, or there’s an allowance for it now,” Harrison says. “We’re being led by a lot of people that aren’t really capable of leading, and they’re … led by things such as vengeance or hatred or needing approval, as opposed to just making quality leadership decisions. …

This could happen anywhere, with any group of people, when fear takes root.”

So, a play Harrison chose nearly two years ago now resonates palpably in America; another artistic director who could probably relate is Vaughn Irving of the Santa Fe Playhouse. Irving, who chose the theater’s 2017 season in August and September of 2016, saw his pile of scripts take on a life of its own when 1984 hit bestseller lists again just a couple months before they presented the show, and literal Nazis were marching down American streets while audiences were watching Cabaret.

Irving initially chose Orwell’s dystopian 1984 “in terms of Big Data and Google and the corporate Big Brother,” he tells SFR. “But what really became relevant was the idea of doublethink, doublespeak, the control of information. … Then Kellyanne Conway said ‘alternative facts’ a month before we opened, and all of a sudden we were in it.”

Irving also believes, however, that every show has importance when deeply considered. In The Next Room, presented in May of this year, didn’t have actual Nazis or mini-trues in the script, but Irving was still passionate about its

The Playhouse’s 1984 (above) was an unexpectedly apt choice for this year; alternately, Adobe Rose’s Building the Wall (below) was chosen specifically for its political resonance.

place in the political conversation now.

“That show is about women’s sexuality belonging to men, and that’s something that I take issue with, as I think everyone should,” he says. “That show increased in relevance with the changing of the guard in Washington, but it’s always mattered.”

And then we learned our president once bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, and—once again—we we were in it.

So, after a heavy-hitting 2017, what is in store? “It does put a burden on me for planning next season, to be perfectly honest. It’s a nerve-wracking process,” Irving admits about the new season, which should be announced any day now. “I don’t want to be prophetic. But I do want to give people something that they can use.”

While Harrison and Irving might be hesitant to designate politics as a main motivating factor for a season, Adobe Rose Theatre’s Maureen McKenna can barely contain herself on the subject.

I began to say, “I would single out Adobe Rose as having the most explicitly political season in town this year—” and before I could finish my question, McKenna cried, “Yes!” She believes in theater as a tool for communication, and hopes the theater can be Santa Fe’s toolbox. “I’m trying to create dialogue between people who don’t necessarily agree with each other,” she says. “If you go back to [Building the Wall], the reason I thought the play was so important was that it wasn’t an antiTrump piece. It was about how we are the wall; we are the construct when we don’t speak to each other. I’m trying to encourage people to listen to each other and to create a dialogue for participation, thought and change.”

For the coming year, you can absolutely expect more political works on the Adobe Rose stage. McKenna hopes to announce the new season soon, but is confident it won’t disappoint. “I’m comfortable with us being referred to as putting up political works, because these are politically interesting times, and theater should be on the forefront of what’s happening in our culture. That means politics, that means science and art and expression.”

There will be some levity everywhere, of course. McKenna has some light stuff planned, because even social justice warriors need to have fun. “Sometimes it’s good to go into the theater and laugh, or feel nostalgic, or see a love story,” she says. “Those things are important too, and we like to mix it up, but we want people to think and talk.”

El Farol A new era for a Santa Fe favorite B Y E L I S E R AT T t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

S

ELI SERATT

hockwaves rattled Santa Fe last spring when David Salazar, longtime owner of El Farol, announced he was putting the Canyon Road establishment on the market. He’d been the proprietor of City Different’s oldest bar for three and a half decades; who could do the Canyon Road landmark justice? And God forbid—what if a Texan bought it? (Tongue firmly in cheek there, folks.)

It took about six months, but El Farol found the new owners in Rich Freedman and Freda Scott. Both are in their second decades as Santa Feans. Freedman owns another Canyon Road favorite, The Teahouse, conveniently located right across the street, and Scott served as El Farol’s general manager for nine years leading up to the sale. They met through a friend last November, and, within a year, they’ve managed to renovate, reinvigorate and reopen this Santa Fe staple.

“Our big focus was to protect the legacy of El Farol,” Scott says, “but give her the necessary little face lift so that the community can enjoy her for many, many more years.”

Gone are the vivid orange and turquoise walls, replaced with a tasteful cream, which brightens up the space and highlights the iconic murals, painted by a variety of former patrons. In the renovation process, a previously

forgotten Alfred Morang mural was even rediscovered behind the bar shelves. The Northern New Mexican landscape is now the focal point of the bar, which regulars will be relieved to know hasn’t changed much. The original base still stands, bullet holes and all, but it’s been reinforced with steel so it can stand for even more years to come. New, lighter floors and historic photos of Santa Fe worthy of its Canyon Road address complete the new look.

The facelift extends beyond the physical space—the menu received a complete overhaul. “Over the years, the food at El Farol has not lived up to its reputation,” Freedman tells SFR. “I’m all about the food, so I wanted it to be outstanding.”

They found just the man for the job in Head Chef Shane Alexander. Originally from South Africa, Alexander has made a name for himself in some of Northern New Mexico’s most esteemed kitchens, most recently as the executive sous chef at Club at Las Campanas. He continues the focus on tapas, although Freedman hopes to sneak a few pasta dishes in as

I was still peckish, and on that high only truly delicious food gives, so I ordered the tapa-sized bronzino bajo fuego (a white fish, cooked under fire, $14). My server recommended it when I first ordered, and Freedman and Scott seemed to agree that it’s one of the stars of the menu. All three were right—it was the best thing I had. The overhead heat made the skin crisp, almost bacon-like, and the fish was both flaky and firm. It’s served over heirloom tomatoes and more of the chorizo.

And what’s dinner without dessert?

The aptly named chocolate walnut indulgence ($12), a dark chocolate-covered frozen mousse served with red winepoached pears, candied walnuts and chocolate biscotti, is worth the trip itself. Rich but not heavy, each flavor blends together like a dream, and it pairs beautifully with the Warres Optima 10-year tawny port ($10). The dessert menu also features a selection of teas, bringing some of The Teahouse’s charm across the street with its new owner.

Everything was plated beautifully, and the service was impeccable. Night owls will be relieved Bronzino baja fuego—a firm yet to know El Farol serves until 10 perfectly flaky piece of fish. pm, and a bar menu with lighter fare, such as chips, salsa and guacamole and artisanal cheeses, is available until the bar closes. The National Institute of Flamenco continues its decades-long partnership with performances year-round, but if that’s not your fancy, the restaurant’s online event calendar (not to mention SFR’s, starting on page 21) is chock-full of live music from a wide range of genres.

well. Rounding out the team is mixologist Andrew Roy, a staple of the Santa Fe bar scene and 2016 winner of Arizona Cocktail Week’s elite Last Slinger Standing bartending competition.

A week after the reopening, I settled into a table in the main dining room, tempted by the whole menu, but opting for three tapas: the boquerones (anchovies, $8), aceitunas (marinated olives, $6) and manchego y chorizo, a charcuterie plate accompanied by hazelnuts and a balsamic reduction ($14).

The anchovies had a delicate, tart flavor accentuated by the acidity of tomatoes. It was a generous portion, easily enough to be shared, while the wide variety of olives each reflected the marinade differently, making each bite unique.

Some picked up on the rosemary while others almost had the sweet, nutty flavor of a wheat beer. The manchego was creamy but a little sharp, contrasting with the sweeter balsamic and complementing the dense, savory chorizo. The hazelnuts added some much-needed crunch.

Mother! Review

BEST MOVIE EVER

The ugly side of creativity

8

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

10 9

Is filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler) attempting to diffuse the concept of May-December relationships in Mother! (like his own with the film’s star, Jennifer Lawrence, for example)—or is he simply ruminating on the idea that creativity and creative types thrive on non-reciprocal adoration and eat up everything good in their path? Either way, he’s strayed into far weirder territory than perhaps even 2000’s Requiem for a Dream, though the imagery and unstuck-in-time nature of Mother! is at least more disconcerting.

J-Law is some nameless woman, apparently Beetlejuiced into never leaving her countryside home which she shares with Javier Bardem, a similarly nameless man whom we discover is a poet who can’t write anymore after other, also nameless people (played excellently and beyond creepily by Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer) show up mysteriously to hang around to love on his older work. This doesn’t sit well with Lawrence, who spends the entirety of the film sinking deeper into the fever dream from a vantage of powerlessness; at all times she is cleaning, renovating, worrying, while Bardem and crew shirk off her obviously mounting frustrations.

Bardem, it seems, loves the attention from

attempts to calm her—which is maddening.

There may be more questions than answers by the time Mother! ends, and the imagery and symbolism are a mite on the nose for anyone who cares to Google its stars and director. Having said that, it still sticks with you long after it’s over and will surely cause plenty of conversations. No, this isn’t a horror movie in the traditional sense; more like challenging, high-concept satire—though we’d point out very little is funny in a ha-ha sort of way. Whatever else, though, it’s dark and scary with more than enough of Aronofsky’s trademark directorial touches to make it worthwhile. Just prepare to feel sort of … off.

strangers despite Lawrence’s concerns that he’s allowing outsiders into their paradise.

And oh, how it gets worse. A pregnancy spurs momentary calmness, not to mention inspiration in Bardem and, in defeating his writer’s block, an opening is provided for every insane fan, agent, publisher and hanger-on to appear, thereby transforming a would-be dream house into a labyrinthian hellscape of illogical proportions.

Like Lawrence, we begin to question the reality of the situation. Is she going mad, or is her adjacency to fame and bright-burning creativity simply more than anyone can handle? Regardless, there is magical realism afoot, albeit born of black magic. The more she pulls against the throngs now inhabiting her home, the more their numbers grow and the more Bardem

+ MODERN TAKE ON A CLASSIC - ONLY TACKLES A FRACTION OF THE TALE

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.

+ 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 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

DUNKIRK

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.

Winterbottom’s ending is patently weird, and he would have done well to give us more of back-of-the-house restaurant meal prep that so ably set the tone for the series. Still, you’ll walk away hungry and, for the most part, happy. (Matt Grubs) Violet Crown, NR, 115 min.

+ FANTASTIC CINEMATOGRAPHY - TOO MUCH FILMMAKER, NOT ENOUGH SUBJECT

Do we experience physical pain because we actually are in pain, or because we fabricate said pain to distract us from unthinkable, uncomfortable 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 multipronged 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 books, huh?) but, as Sarno says in the film, “The majority of the population are unable to accept this, and you can’t hold it against them.”

Galinsky, however, appears to be a believer and a beneficiary, as are famous folks interviewed in the film such as Howard Stern, Larry David and Bored to Death creator Jonathan Ames. 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.

+ 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

SFREPORTER.COM

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. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, PG, 82 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. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 106 min.

THE BIG SICK

+ ROMANO AND HUNTER ARE GENIUSES - A BIT TOO LONG FOR WHAT IT IS; NANJIANI NOT THERE YET

Stand-up comedian and actor Kumail Nanjiani steps out from his Silicon Valley ensemble duties for The Big Sick, a tale loosely based on his nontraditional courtship with his real-life wife Emily Gordon (played here by Zoe Kazan), with whom he also co-wrote the script. Nanjiani plays himself, a middling Chicago stand-up who is heckled one night by a young woman and is in a relationship with her shortly thereafter. Sick follows the likes of comedian Mike Birbiglia’s 2012 autobiographical Sleepwalk With Me, though Nanjiani himself has admitted to taking artistic license from the actual events that led to his marriage.

As a young Pakistani man, Nanjiani is supposed to accept an arranged marriage situation. But when Emily is placed in a medically induced coma to combat a lung infection, he slowly realizes he’s in love with her despite his parents’ wishes. Along for the ride are Emily’s parents, played fantastically by Ray Romano and Holly Hunter, both of whom outshine Nanjiani at every turn; it isn’t that he’s not talented, nor does the script fall short per se—it’s really more like he’s just not there yet as a dramatic actor, and it’s never more apparent than when he shares screen time with the veteran actors. Romano provides the best performance of his career as a lovably goofy father grappling with the aftermath of his own infidelity and the frantic emotions of having a sick child. Hunter is, as always, incredible (find us a film where she isn’t—we dare you) and often it seems like scenes without them are simply eating up time before they return.

Support from SNL’s Aidy Bryant and consummate weirdo stand-up musician Bo Burnham is much appreciated as well, though both hardly feel as well-used as they might have been. It is, after all, Nanjiani’s life story—or some of it, anyway—but Bryant and Burnham are both so funny in their own right that it seems a misstep.

The rest starts to drag toward the end and there are only so many “my culture is different” jokes that can land with enough oomph. Regardless, The Big Sick is a perfectly fine first step for the relative newcomer Nanjiani and boasts enough laugh-out-loud moments to justify itself. Direction from Wet Hot American Summer alum Michael Showalter follows a relatively familiar indie-esque bent, but make no mistake—this is a Judd Apatow film (he produced it). It comes complete with the Apatow “will they/won’t they/they did!” formulaic cuteness we’ve come to expect from the Knocked Up director/producer. And that’s fine. Just fine.

GREAT SERVICE?

Dallas

Dallas is a sweet and goofy girl! She has a wonderful little personality with a heart full of love and affection. She gets along with other dogs and really enjoys going on leashwalks with our volunteers.She is about 2.5 years old and came to the shelter as a stray, picked up by animal control.

A large yard would be a great plus for Dallas. She’d make a great companion for any family looking to add a mellow, yet playful dog to their home.

Majesty

We think Majesty is the perfect name for this regal looking lady! She’s very sweet and affectionate, and Siamese are known to be quite smart too, so you’re getting a full package, not just a pretty face! She is spayed and is about 1.5 years old. She came to the shelter as a stray. So we are looking for a home that will keep her indoors. She has lived successfully with other cats here at the shelter, so we are sure she will be great with other house cats.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny

Week of September 20th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Psychologists say most people need a scapegoat—a personification of wickedness and ignorance onto which they can project the unacknowledged darkness in their own hearts. That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news: The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to neutralize that reflex and at least partially divest yourself of the need for scapegoats. How? The first thing to do is identify your own darkness with courageous clarity. Get to know it better. Converse with it. Negotiate with it. The more conscientiously you deal with that shadowy stuff within you, the less likely you’ll be to demonize other people.

are,” to become “something worthy and noble.” So which of these two views is correct? Is fate aligned against us, working hard to prevent us from knowing and showing our authentic self? Or is fate forever conspiring in our behalf, seducing us to master our fullest expression? I’m not sure if there’s a final, definitive answer, but I can tell you this, Libra: In the coming months, Thoreau’s view will be your predominant truth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “When you do your best, you’re depending to a large extent on your unconscious, because you’re waiting for the thing you can’t think of.”

So said Scorpio director Mike Nichols in describing his TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If the weather turns bad or process of making films. Now I’m conveying this idea to your allies get sad or the news of the world grows even you just in time for the beginning of a phase I call crazier, you will thrive. I’m not exaggerating or flattering “Eruptions from Your Unconscious.” In the coming you. It’s exactly when events threaten to demoralize you weeks, you will be ripe to receive and make good use of that you’ll have maximum power to redouble your forti- messages from the depths of your psyche. At any other tude and effectiveness. Developments that other people time, these simmering bits of brilliance might remain below the threshold of your awareness, but for the foreregard as daunting will trigger breakthroughs for you.

Your allies’ confusion will mobilize you to manifest your seeable future they’ll be bursting through and making themselves available to be plucked. unique visions of what it takes to live a good life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.” declared comedian Steven Wright. My Great Uncle Ned had a different perspective. “If at first you don’t succeed,” he told me, “redefine the meaning of success.” I’m not a fan of Wright’s advice, but Ned’s counsel has served me well. I recommend you try it out, Gemini. Here’s another bit of folk wisdom that might be helpful.

Psychotherapist Dick Olney said that what a good therapist does is help her clients wake up from the delusion that they are the image they have of themselves.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): What is home? The poet Elizabeth Corn pondered that question. She then told her lover that home was “the stars on the tip of your tongue, the flowers sprouting from your mouth, the roots entwined in the gaps between your fingers, the ocean echoing inside of your ribcage.” I offer this as inspiration, Cancerian, since now is a perfect time to dream up your own poetic testimonial about home.

What experiences make you love yourself best? What situations bring out your most natural exuberance?

What influences feel like gifts and blessings? Those are all clues to the beloved riddle “What is home?”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re most likely to thrive if you weave together a variety of styles and methods. The coming weeks will be a highly miscellaneous time, and you can’t afford to get stuck in any single persona or approach. As an example of how to proceed, I invite you to borrow from both the thoughtful wisdom of the ancient Greek poet Homer and the silly wisdom of the cartoon character Homer Simpson. First, the poet: “As we learn, we must daily unlearn something which it has cost us no small labor and anxiety to acquire.” Now here’s Homer Simpson: “Every time I learn something new, it pushes out something old.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Filmmakers often have test audiences evaluate their products before releasing it to the masses. If a lot of viewers express a particular critique, the filmmaker may make changes, even cutting out certain scenes or altering the ending. You might want to try a similar tack in the coming weeks, Virgo. Solicit feedback on the new projects and trends you’ve been working on—not just from anyone, of course, but rather from smart people who respect you. And be sure they’re not inclined to tell you only what you want to hear. Get yourself in the mood to treasure honesty and objectivity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The poet E. E. Cummings said, “To be nobody-but-yourself—in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else—means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.” On the other hand, naturalist and writer Henry David Thoreau declared that “We are constantly invited to be who we

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Barbara Ehrenreich has done extensive research on the annals of partying. She says modern historians are astounded by the prodigious amount of time that medieval Europeans spent having fun together. “People feasted, drank, and danced for days on end,” she writes.

Seventeenth-century Spaniards celebrated festivals five months of each year. In 16th-century France, peasants devoted an average of one day out of every four to “carnival revelry.” In accordance with current astrological omens, you Sagittarians are authorized to match those levels of conviviality in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Kittens made French Emperor Napoleon III lose his composure. He shook and screamed around them. Butterflies scare actress Nicole Kidman. My friend Allie is frightened by photos of Donald Trump. As for me, I have an unnatural fear of watching reality TV. What about you, Capricorn? Are you susceptible to any odd anxieties or nervous fantasies that provoke agitation? If so, the coming weeks will be a perfect time to overcome them. Why? Because you’ll be host to an unprecedented slowmotion outbreak of courage that you can use to free yourself from long-standing worries.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “The brain is wider than the sky,” wrote Emily Dickinson. “The brain is deeper than the sea.” I hope you cultivate a vivid awareness of those truths in the coming days, Aquarius. In order to accomplish the improbable tasks you have ahead of you, you’ve got to unleash your imagination, allowing it to bloom to its full power so it can encompass vast expanses and delve down into hidden abysses. Try this visualization exercise: Picture yourself bigger than the planet Earth, holding it tenderly in your hands.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I got an email from a fan of Piscean singer Rihanna. He complained that my horoscopes rarely mention celebrities. “People love astrological predictions about big stars,” he wrote. “So what’s your problem? Are you too ‘cultured’ to give us what we the people really want? Get off your high horse and ‘lower’ yourself to writing about our heroes. You could start with the lovely, talented, and very rich Rihanna.” I told Rihanna’s fan that my advice for mega-stars is sometimes different from what it is for average folks. For Piscean mega-stars like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Ellen Page, and Bryan Cranston, for example, the coming weeks will be a time to lay low, chill out, and recharge. But non-famous Pisceans will have prime opportunities to boost their reputation, expand their reach, and wield a stronger-thanusual influence in the domains they frequent.

Homework: Imagine what your life would be like if you licked your worst fear. Describe this new world to me.

SCHOOL FOR SALE The Board of Directors of the New Mexico Academy of International Studies is seeking a committed Montessori and/or International Baccalaureate educator or educators to carry forward the school founded by Carol Phillips McClure, who died August 4, 2017.

The school is located at 2845 Agua Fria St., Santa Fe, New Mexico.

A new owner could walk in and begin school Sept. 1, 2017 to accommodate grade 1 - 6 clientele of as many as 25 students.

What is being offered for sale (or rent) is the intellectual property purchased and created by Carol. It includes: a library of hundred of books spanning reading levels pre-school to middle school; Montessori materials for individual and group learning; science, world cultures, and mathematics; the materials, furniture, beautiful art works and artifacts throughout three buildings.

The goal is to continue the school, not to make money on the property that is left. Price is negotiable.

If you have dreamed of having a school dedicated to changing the world, one child at a time, please contact:
