NEWS, OCTOBER 4: “COUNTY CODES, TAKE ME HOME”

DARWINISM AT WORK Quite a change for the county. Years ago, if a county inspector couldn’t see it from a paved road—it didn’t exist. Now to get a permit one has to bring the road up to county standards? Let people do their own inspecting! If you can’t build a house or structure that isn’t going to fall down and kill you maybe that means you need to be out of the gene pool.

This is a totally absurd rule. If the county wants a road to meet county standards, let them build it!

PHILIP TACCETTA SFREPORTER.COM

NOT FAIR, GUYS I don’t understand [the] position that two vehicles must be able to transit past each other at any point along a roadway.

Many country roads have pull-over spots for passing that offer good line of sight and would nearly half the costs being discussed for converting a country lane to a two-lane street.

Regardless, it’s clearly unfair that any single homeowner on a multiple-access road should have to bear the upgrade burden alone. Having lived on private lanes in several states, it is nothing new that road building and upkeep are part of the cost of such privacy. Some of our properties have even been covenanted that homeowners

should expect periodic mandatory assessments for such upgrades, without their particular approval or consent. We haven’t often liked it when such assessments came, but it was fair that the cost was shared by everyone in the neighborhood.

It certainly pushed a lot of community engagement and creativity when such improvements were being contemplated.

DEVELOPERS STAY OUT Modifying your existing home (a breezeway? A carport?) should not at all be tied to road improvement; that’s ridiculous and the county needs to pay attention to that. But developing a 40-acre open-space parcel in a settled neighborhood with a non-county maintained road—a development that could substantially increase traffic and wear on the road—absolutely requires some mechanism to be sure the existing infrastructure is upgraded and maintained. The county has to start taking responsibility for its roads. I live on one of these roads and getting neighbors to equally bear the burden of ongoing maintenance is impossible.

As in many neighborhoods, we are lucky to be able to rely on 1) those neighbors who have the means to contribute, offsetting the many neighbors who either can’t afford it or don’t want to, and 2) neighbors with equipment who manage the maintenance themselves. Without legal covenants in place requiring “dues” or “maintenance fees,” neighbors have to fend for themselves. Facing the development of a vast swath of open space, you can bet there will be fighting over who is CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

LETTERS, SEPT. 26 WE’RE RUSSIANS Are you aware that one of the tenets of “fake news” is to attack people personally rather than stick to the issues at hand? Your choice of letters for the Sept 26 issue is disturbing.

From a very personal attack on our mayor, to attacking the character of an Entrada protester, to the use of the term “half-breed” by one writer. This is just more fake news: Divide and conquer is what we are up against, let’s not feed it.

Look, it’s not the Hispanic community’s

fault that it chooses to celebrate the Entrada; no more than it is the protesters fault that they choose to defend their history. We cannot change the past, only the way we feel about it.

Nobody has ever officially and publicly apologized to the native Americans for these atrocities. Think about it: what if our mayor, or our governor were to actually make an official proclamation of apology? It’s been done in other countries.

That would be a new beginning, it would also allow all sides to prove their moral competency in the matter.

Since you seem to like bad language, let’s put it this way: It’s cajones vs. baloney.

NEWS, AUG. 30: “THINKIN’ OF A MASTER PLAN”

LIFESTYLES OF THE ...

Less than one percent of Santa Fe taxpayers can afford to charter or own a plane or jet. Yet ninety percent of our airport’s traffic is generated by privately owned and leased planes and jets. Meanwhile, commercial flights are often priced too prohibitively for ordinary Santa Feans to afford.

Any industry will externalize as much of their costs as the public will allow. We’re seeing this now in Santa Fe, as the airport exports noise pollution into the backyards of south Santa Fe and La Cienega residents. Our taxpayers bear the airport’s financial burden, while the one percent reaps the benefits.

Let’s think hard before we prioritize profit over the best interests of our own. We must consider what commercial flights are truly bringing to our city, and whether an onset of jetsetters is truly enhancing the quality of our town. It’s our responsibility to preserve Santa Fe’s tranquility, a commodity we all deserve to enjoy in equal measure.

Designer Docs Some primary care physicians in New Mexico are offering “concierge care” and other services to an exclusive patient base

This aproach goes by a few different names, including concierge care and direct primary care. Concierge care caters to people with the means of paying for basically unlimited access to a physician. It started in affluent California and Washington neighborhoods in the mid-1990s, and today retainer fees in richer areas can reach upwards of $30,000 a year—but are usually a few grand annually. Some physicians choose not to charge retainer fees, or charge less, instead charging patients for visits, consultations and procedures directly, rather than routing payment through insurance programs. This is called direct primary care.

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

Y

No institution closely tracks the number of physicians maintaining these kinds of practices. A report by the Government Accountability Office from 2005 only surveyed 112 concierge doctors; the trade publication Concierge Medicine Today estimates there are currently 6,000 to 12,000 doctors who do concierge and similar practices across the country. The Physicians Foundation reported that 8.8 percent of doctors it surveyed last year planned to transition to concierge, up over the past five years.

I would say there’s a market for what I do in the community.

-Dr. Alan Rogers

AARON CANTÚ

our family doctor, if you have one, is likely miserable.

The Physicians Foundation found that over half of the doctors it surveyed last year rated their professional morale as somewhat or very negative. The reasons include massive patient rolls and tons of paperwork, which eat up time that doctors could be spending with patients.

Industry watchers expect pressures on physicians to grow worse. First, the number of medically uninsured people in New Mexico dropped from 23 percent in 2012, before the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, to 13 percent in 2015, mirroring a national trend. At the same time, the Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that there will be a deficit of 90,400 physicians nationwide by 2025. A New Mexico Health Care Workforce Committee report released Oct. 1 found that New Mexico was already short 139 primary care doctors in 2016, a gap almost totally concentrated in rural areas.

In response to these converging pressures, some physicians in New Mexico have decided to scale back their operations and focus their attention on far fewer patients for higher fees.

Anecdotally, it appears that about a dozen physicians in Albuquerque and Santa Fe are making their practices more exclusive, removing patients from their rolls to reserve their time and attention for those who can afford to pay for premium Dr. Alan Rogers is among a growing group of doctors who have recently started a concierge practice in Santa Fe. access to better care.

One physician in Albuquerque, who asked to remain anonymous so as not to attract attention from the insurance companies he works with, says the number of physicians slicing down their patient numbers there has roughly doubled since 2011, from about five to 10. Some of them meet for lunch every month or so to talk shop.

“My full practice was somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 [patients]. Now I see 275,” says the physician, who went concierge six years ago. The doctor charges individual patients a retainer fee of $1,350, and says that’s reduced the pressure to see as many patients as possible so as to receive higher reimbursements from insurers. “I greet my patients at the door.

They have access to my office phone, cell phone, home phone, fax and text, and they have a longer amount of time

with me. I feel like my practice is relationship-based now.”

The fewer doctors who are willing to treat everybody equally, the more pressure there is for those who do. The Physicians Foundation estimates that doctors who make the transition to concierge care typically maintain only about 25 percent of their patients, and warns that the “widespread adoption of concierge medicine would have a negative effect on patient access to physicians.”

Dr. Heather Brislen, who runs a “membership-based primary care clinic” in Albuquerque, sees about 100 patients right now with plans to reach 250. Each patient pays her a $1,500 retainer for a year of access.

“I can’t work in a model where I have 2,500 [patients] and feel like I’m doing a good job,” she tells SFR. “There were people that I worked with and respected who felt I left my position in the trenches to do this thing that’s relatively easy.”

SFR confirmed at least four Santa Fe physicians who currently offer concierge care, including Drs. Tom Kravitz, Lee Levin, Eric Grasser and Alan Rogers. Only Rogers answered our request for comment. He says he is “not strictly” a concierge doctor because he does not charge his patients retainer fees. He also does not accept insurance in a county where 85 percent have medical insurance, although patients can personally request insurance reimbursements. A 60-minute appointment in his office is $300, with each 15-minute interval thereafter running for $75.

“What I wanted to do was simply not take insurance and opt out of Medicare,” says Rogers, who says he was encouraged to start a concierge practice by former Christus St. Vincent CEO Alex Valdez. “I would say there’s a market for what I do in the community. There’s certainly a population of people who have the means to access care however they might want to get it. And there are other people of modest means looking for a certain something from their health care that they can’t find in the system.”

Jerry Harrison, the executive director of New Mexico Health Resources, says there are bigger threats to patient access to doctors, including an aging physician class (News: “Grayed Anatomy,” July 19) without a corresponding number of younger ones to replace them. But he acknowledges that it wouldn’t help the situation if more doctors decided to treat fewer patients.

“When you’ve got nearly half the state on Medicaid,” Harrison says, “those folks are not going to be able to have the disposable income to buy in.”

The C. G. Jung Institute of Santa Fe presents

Jung

Lecture & Workshop

In the World

Geoffrey West, Ph.D., Theoretical Physicist at the Santa Fe Institute Ronald Schenk, Ph.D., Jungian analyst, Dallas & Houston, TX Lecture: Uncertainty, Simplicity and Unity in Life from Cells to Psyche: Jungian Thought and the Science of Complexity Friday, October 13th 7-9pm $10 2 CEUs or 2 Cultural CEUs

This lecture will highlight the interface between ideas from the science of complexity and conceptual aspects of Jung’s thinking, particularly those related to archetypes and alchemy, such as anima mundi (the “soul” of the world) and unus mundus (the unity and interconnectedness of all things). The format will consist of presentations by a Jungian analyst who has focused on archetypal and cultural dynamics and a scientist who studies phenomena such as growth, innovation and mortality in complex adaptive systems including cells, organisms and cities. This will be followed by an interactive discussion whose spirit will be to bring into everyday thought and language, the complexities of contemporary, cutting edge science and forward looking aspects of Jung’s thought. Participation by the audience will round out the evening.

Traditional Jungian psychology views culture as something “other,” sees in it “crisis,” and responds with an introverted mode that says connection with the individual unconscious is the most efficacious psychological response for maintaining an awareness of “soul.” An alternative understanding inspired from ideas in both complexity theory and alchemy sees the world as a hierarchy of interwoven systems, each with its own dynamics and structure yet connected and interacting with others, so that the collective phenomena – whether conscious experience, personal relationships, “complexes”, dreams, traffic jams, economic patterns, the accelerating pace of life, death or the weather – are the result of emergent hierarchies in which “the whole is greater than, and different from, the sum of its parts.” The whole emerges via an on-going adaptive evolving process from the underlying non-linear nature of its individual components so that its dynamics and structure cannot easily be predicted, if at all. These examples will be integrated into the presentations and discussion.

Workshop: Cultural Character in Light of Complexity: Sustainability, Singularities, “Trump,” Cities, and “the 1%” Saturday, October 14th 9am-4:30pm $80 6 CEUs or 6 Cultural CEUs

The Saturday workshop will continue the discussion, focusing on diverse examples of the many challenges and crises we face whether individually at the psychic level or collectively at the socio-economic political level.

Both events at: Center for Spiritual Living, 505 Camino de los Marquez, Santa Fe Friday lecture and Saturday workshop tickets at the door – for information call Jacqueline West, 505-984-0102 For expanded program details go to www.santafejung.org

A Tale of Two Cities Albuquerque will soon have a mayor most of the voters elected; Santa Fe might not

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 @mattgrubs

S

ometime long after dark on Nov. 14, Albuquerque voters will know who is going to be their next mayor. And when either Tim Keller or Dan Lewis takes that first elevator ride to the 11th floor of One Civic Plaza, he’ll have a mandate to get started.

It’s not likely Santa Fe’s next mayor will have the same luxury.

There are seven people running for mayor of Santa Fe as of press time. And in the City Different, the winning candidate is simply the one who gets the most votes—be that 51 percent or 21 percent.

Mayor Javier Gonzales won the last election with 43.3 percent of the vote, rising above Patti Bushee and Bill Dimas, but not above the 50 percent mark.

In contrast, Albuquerque recently changed its election rules to require that a candidate must receive a majority of the vote—often termed 50 percent plus one vote—to be declared the winner. The change was spurred on by Democrats after Republican businessman RJ Berry made his way to City Hall with 44 percent of the vote, and it’s the reason voters in the Duke City have five more weeks of a runoff election in front of them.

“Compared to just having the candidate with the plurality of the vote automatically become mayor, one could argue that this system here in Albuquerque—at least for this election—created a circumstance where voters will have a choice between two candidates with very different philosophies,” says political expert and pollster Brian Sanderoff of Research and Polling, Inc. It’s not a perfect system, Sanderoff says, because it automatically creates a frontrunner—in this case, Keller—if one candidate has a significantly higher vote total than the rest of the field. While Keller did win 39 percent of the votes in the first round of the election, six in 10 voters preferred someone else.

“Voting rules matter to outcomes and they’re all biased in some way,” says Lonna

Atkeson, director of the Center for the Study of Vot-ing, Elections and Democracy at the University of New Mexico. A runoff election like Albuquerque’s may not generate the same interest among voters as the initial contest.

“You almost always see a lower turnout in a runoff election,” Atkeson tells SFR. “Maybe it’s fatigue or it’s, ‘My guy didn’t win, I don’t care anymore.’”

But Atkeson points out that, in addition to conferring the legitimacy of a majority vote to the eventual winner, it gives voters a chance to consider a candidate they may not have given a second thought. It also gives the public and the press the opportunity to better vet potential candidates.

It strikes me as extremely undemocratic.

It’s unacceptable to me to elect a mayor without a mandate.

-Maria Perez, FairVote NM

As an example of both the perils of not requiring a majority and the potential benefits of a runoff election, she points to Jerome Block, Jr., who won a six-way Democratic primary for a seat on the Public Regulation Commission in 2008 with just under 23 percent of the vote. Without a Republican opponent in the general election, Block effectively won a seat on

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

the PRC. His term was filled with controversy, and he eventually resigned after being convicted of several felonies related to embezzlement and election law.

“How many people knew that he was a problem?” Atkeson wonders.

Santa Fe does have a way to ensure the women and men elected to City Hall do so by winning a majority of the vote. In 2008, voters approved a ranked-choice voting system. It asks voters to rank their choices for each office, then adds and rebalances the second choices of losing candidates until someone hits a majority. But because the city charter amendment contains a clause allowing the city to wait until the system is available “at a reasonable price,” Santa Fe hasn’t moved.

“It strikes me as extremely undemocratic. It’s unacceptable to me to elect a mayor without a mandate,” says Maria Perez of FairVote New Mexico, a rankedchoice voting advocacy group. She and others are suing the city to force it to implement ranked-choice voting.

Even though the current cost estimate is $40,000 and the city spent twice that on a single-issue election in May, the City Council voted against implementing the system in June over concerns that the New Mexico secretary of state had not certified its use. Last month, the secretary of state’s Voting System Certification Committee recommended certifying the system, which the secretary did a few days later. Meanwhile, FairVote unsuccessfully tried to get the state Supreme Court to order the city to use the new system.

“Big win for the 28 percent who can now elect a mayor,” tweeted Rob Richie,

the national executive director of FairVote, in response to SFR’s reporting of the Supreme Court’s decision not to inin tervene ahead of the March 2018 election.

While he was being sarcastic, Richie’s not wrong. And he may not be that far from being right.

“I’ve seen it,” says former mayor David Coss. In 1994, he ran former mayor Debbie Jaramillo’s campaign when she won with 38.6 percent of the vote in a field of 12—count ’em, 12—candidates.

“I think it gives the new mayor a little bit steeper climb,” Coss tells SFR of the job mayors have ahead of them with a weak plurality. “You have to spend some time at the beginning establishing relationships with councilors and those segments of the community that were against you.”

“It’s not an insurmountable obstacle,” he adds, “because most people want their mayors to succeed.”

But Atkeson finds the current system ludicrous, especially considering Santa Fe put in place another change to the charter in 2014 that goes into effect next year.

The newly elected mayor becomes what’s known as a “strong” one, earning more money and gaining broad administrative authority and responsibility to hire and fire department heads, propose a budget to the City Council and control the daily ebb and flow of city services.

“The idea that we have a strong mayor system is horrible. They’re supposed to come in with this agenda and priorities,” Atkeson says.

As it stands now, Santa Fe’s next mayor may well wield that power with just a small fraction of the city’s electorate behind them.

5 DAYS, 6 THEATERS, 100 FILMS—THIS IS THE SANTA FE INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL

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

ACTION! Film and television posters hang along the walls in the offices above the Jean Cocteau Cinema on Montezuma Street. A massive model of the Iron Giant from the 1999 movie of the same name stands guard at the top of the stairs.

Deeper inside, Liesette Paisner Bailey and her brother Jacques Paisner work on programming for the theater downstairs (their day jobs as program directors hits its first full year soon).

You know and love ‘em, and the Center for Contemporary Arts plays host to the festival’s shorts programming this year.

Not just for students, The Screen (on the Santa Fe University of Art and Design campus) has been a local favorite forever.

Simultaneously, they’re putting the finishing touches on the upcoming ninth annual Santa Fe Independent Film Festival. Paisner Bailey’s gargantuan dog Gonzo snoozes on the floor, and Paisner leans back in an office chair, phone in hand, with DVD screeners, spreadsheets and various stacks of paper encircling him. They both look tired, but we’ve hit the tail end of their massive undertaking here. The festival is right around the corner.

Paisner and Paisner Bailey cobbled together the first iteration of the fest a mere nine years ago. Since then, it’s morphed from a handful of films screened at Warehouse 21 into a jam-packed weekend featuring 100 (give or take) independently produced full-length, documentary and short films—plus filmmaker appearances, guest speakers, panel discussions and parties. The advent of more theaters (such as the famously George RR Martin-revitalized Jean Cocteau and the Violet Crown Cinema) helped, but Paisner says he always had a feeling it would be well-received.

“I do think that, in the last several years, we really have started to realize the vision we thought it could be,” he tells SFR. “We have more theaters now, we’re giving achievement awards—this year to John Sayles and Maggie Renzi and N Scott Momaday—and we’re doing things like bringing John Waters back to Santa Fe and … I think we always looked at the event and thought, ‘This could be so great!’”

In Paisner’s estimation, this fest is the largest of its kind for hundreds of miles in any direction. “Not just in the number of films shown,” he adds, “but in the quality of the films, in the number of filmmakers who attend—we’re about people, we’re about stories

Violet Crown may be the new kid on the block, but in relatively short order it has become invaluable to the local movie world.

Famously revitalized by none other than George RR Martin, the Jean Cocteau Cinema remains a staple in the community.

you wouldn’t otherwise see.” Paisner Bailey expands, saying that despite its youth, she doesn’t think it’s inconceivable that the fest might soon be mentioned in the same breath as some of the brand-name versions across the country.

“Think about it,” she says. “We’re only nine, but we’re really stepping up there to where we are being recognized more nationally.”

And it’s a glorious time for such events. The Telluride Film Festival, for example, has become one of the most star-studded events on the circuit over the last 44 years. The Tribeca Film Festival, New York City’s relative newcomer founded in 2002, has expanded to include cinematic cut scenes from video games and interactive VR experiences in its programming. Palm Springs, Sundance, Cannes, Toronto, New York—the list goes on and on, and it seems we may be closer than ever to adding our own offering to their ranks.

THE CREW “One of the challenges a film festival faces is how big to go,” Kirk Ellis says. The former journalist, current screenwriter (Sons of Liberty, John Adams) covered these things for industry publications once upon a time, now he’s a mainstay at various festivals across the country and a regular moderator at SFIFF panel discussions. He also served as the chair of the Santa Fe Arts Commission until he termed out after four years. He is the consummate film buff.

“The tendency most festival organizers have is to say, ‘Hey, we’ve got this great fest, let’s keep expanding it! Let’s have larger studio representation!’” Ellis has seen other festivals buckle under their own weight, but doesn’t

think SFIFF is in any danger of doing so.

“Jacques and Liesette seem to have found the sweet spot and how to maximize that,” he tells SFR. “The thing that makes this festival distinct is that it’s not so much about the celebrity of filmmaking as it is about the craft.”

Meanwhile, Lensic Performing Arts Center Executive Director Joel Aalberts braces himself for what will likely be packed house events—the bestowing of lifetime achievement awards on Native American author N Scott Momaday on Oct. 19, on filmmaker John Sayles and his wife and creative partner, producer/ actress Maggie Renzi, on Oct. 20, and John Waters’ “This Filthy World: Filthier and Dirtier” on Oct. 21.

“One of the things I think is so wonderful about these events being at the Lensic is that it echoes back to what the Lensic’s original purpose was,” he says. “When you have what the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival does—a consistent and strong festival where people know it and, over a number of years, you get out of your sphere of family and friends—you’ve expanded your sense of community. People are brought together; it’s a touch point that’s wonderful to have.”

Over and over again, the organizers and participating theater officials use that word: community. It’s what sets SFIFF apart in a sea of similar events, and is a distinctly Santa Fean facet. But for Center for Contemporary Arts Cinematheque Director Jason Silverman, it goes even further.

“There are all these heroic, unaffiliated collectives and individuals who use the form for CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

love and connection and meaning,” he says. “Filmmakers who we’re seeing at CCA or in an independent film festival are part of a resistance movement, whether they know it or not.”

Silverman previously served as the creative director of the now-defunct Taos Film Festival and produced the critically acclaimed 2015 documentary Sembene!, which has since enjoyed international screenings and events.

Put simply, he knows what he’s talking about. “I love that [SFIFF] was created by a family, and I think that familial energy is part of its identity,” he explains. “This is a film-lover’s town; it’s a feast year-round, but there’s more on the table for the [festival] weekend, and I’m grateful for that.”

Back in the Railyard, Violet Crown Cinema general manager Peter Grendle emphasizes the importance of such an event to the overall Santa Fe cultural gestalt. “Half the joy of living and working in Santa Fe is that you get to be around all these wonderful people and organizations that want to do these things,” he explains. “But if you’re not supported by the community, if you don’t keep that in the front of your head, you’re doomed to fail, and it all goes back to dedication.”

According to Grendle, Paisner and Paisner Bailey have proven such dedication time and time again. Violet Crown has wanted to be involved with the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival “since the very second we opened,” he says. “I come from a place where serving the community is vital to my experience, and this festival does that.”

IF NOT THE WORLD Jacques Paisner is nothing if not effusive about his home cinema turf.

“This is a city with the greatest art house theaters in the country,” he says. “Even in a larger city, there aren’t multiple independent art house-type cinemas like we have, and I think it’s because Santa Fe is a savvy audience.”

Paisner points to recent trends that find indie films receiving more buzz (and sometimes higher profits) than mainstream movies, but also notes

that Santa Fe has is already on the forefront.

“I think we’re really about to break as the place to see a film beyond Los Angeles or New York,” he says. “Just look at what happened in Telluride, and that’s a small town.” According to Paisner Bailey, roughly 25 percent of SFIFF ticket holders hail from outside Santa Fe and, she says, “We’re hearing from a lot of people who are visiting town specifically for the festival.” According to Paisner, last year’s fest sold over 10,000 tickets. For this year, he

says, “We are ahead of where we were in October 2016.”

But what really lies at the heart of the matter? Why work such long and arduous hours for very little in return?

“Santa Fe is special to us, and not just because we grew up here,” Paisner Bailey says. “We’re bringing people to this special place to experience this greater independent film community.”

Winner of the Palme d’Or Christian is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum, a divorced but devoted father of two who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next show is “The Square”, an installation which invites passersby to altruism, reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. But sometimes, it is difficult to live up to your own ideals: Christian’s foolish response to the theft of his phone drags him into shameful situations.

Meanwhile, the museum’s PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for ”The Square”. The response is overblown and sends Christian, as well as the museum, into an existential crisis.

by Sayles’s and Renzi’s Oscar-nominated film Lone Star, presented in stunning 35mm.

John Sayles’s cross-cultural murder mystery explores the borders that create interpersonal and interracial tensions in Rio County, Texas. Sheriff Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper) is called to investigate the discovery of a skeleton of a murdered man buried in the desert forty years ago, and is drawn deeper into dark secrets held on both sides of the border when the trail leads to the now-deceased father he grew to hate, local legend and former sheriff Buddy Deeds. While Sam puzzles out the long-past events surrounding the mysterious corpse, rekindling a romance with his old high-school flame, an Army colonel who is losing his faith in the military (Joe Morton) has to confront his own, still-breathing father. Deftly interweaving the present and the era of the killing, communities and characters thought to live merely parallel lives are brought face-to-face as the plot draws to its startling finish. Cooper and Morton are supported by Matthew McConaughey, Kris Kristofferson, Elizabeth Peña, and Frances McDormand.

Rebecca Miller’s film is a portrait of her father, his times and insights, built around impromptu interviews shot over many years in the family home.

This celebration of the great American playwright is quite different from what the public has ever seen. It is a close consideration of a singular life shadowed by the tragedies of the Red Scare and the death of Marilyn Monroe; a bracing look at success and failure in the public eye; an honest accounting of human frailty; a tribute to one artist by another. Arthur Miller: Writer invites you to see how one of America’s sharpest social commentators formed his ideologies, how his life reflected his work, and, even in some small part, shaped the culture of our country in the twentieth century.

Punching Up Second Street Brewery and other New Mexicans earn six medals at the Great American Beer Festival

BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

N

ew Mexico brewers earned six medals at the 2017 Great American Beer Festival last weekend in Denver.

That’s a not-too-shabby number when you’re looking at stiff competition from dozens of beers in every category. Half of New Mexico’s medals are gold ones.

“We continue to punch above our weight,” says John Gozigian, executive director of the New Mexico Brewers Guild. “For the size of our population and the number of breweries, we tend to medal way out of proportion to the number of people in our state. Obviously California wins a slew of medals and Colorado wins a slew of medals, and you expect that, but there are plenty of states that don’t win any. And there are plenty of states that are much bigger than ours that win less medals than we do.

“So people should be proud of that.

We are always in the bottom of all the good lists and top of the bad lists, but this is one where that is not the case. We are towards the top of a good list here.”

This year, Sierra Blanca Brewing Co. in Moriarty earned a gold in the fruit wheat category, beating out 90 entries with their Sierra Blanca Cherry Wheat; Nexus Brewery from Albuquerque bested 40 contenders for “other strong beer” with its Imperial Cream Ale; and Marble Brewery’s Cholo Stout was the winner for American-style stout about 60 entries. Marble also earned a bronze medal in the pilsner category.

Santa Fe’s own Second Street Brewery took a bronze medal for Rod’s Steam Bitter among 70 entries in American-style lager. That brewery, which has been a mainstay here for 20 years, recently opened its third location in

the city on Rufina Street that includes a dining room and a 20,000-square-foot warehouse.

Boxing Bear Brewing Co. competed among 130 entries in the session India pale ale category and came out third with its Featherweight Session IPA. Gozigian says the awards also say something about New Mexico’s brewery landscape.

“People seem to think of Albuquerque as the epicenter of craft brewing in New Mexico, but we had a Santa Fe brewery medal, which was Second Street Brewery, and we had a Moriarity brewery win a gold, Sierra Blanca,” he says. “Also, in the brewing world there are not as many women as there should be, but Kaylynn McKnight won a medal, she’s from Nexus in Albuquerque.”

McKnight’s win in the competitive “other strong beers” category is notable, he says, and she’s also won a recent top prize from the World Beer Cup. The festival, founded in 1982, now boasts that it’s the “premier US beer festival and competition.” Judges taste beer over five three-hour sessions before awarding the medals. New Mexico brewers won seven awards there last year. The New Mexico Brewers Guild represents 58 independent breweries and poured beer samples from 25 of them for thousands of festival-goers.

“This is like our Super Bowl or our World Series,” says Gozigian. “Everybody likes to see how they compare side-by-side with their peers around the state and around the country, and so this is how you do that. You get to enter your beers into competition in specific style categories. It’s not subjective. Beers are judged by how well they adhere to the style categories that they are in and judges are very experienced. They know what to look for in a beer.”

War and Peace A new biography chronicles a Manhattan Project scientist’s feats and fears

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

J

ames B Conant began his career as a chemist and eventually became one of the chief scientists in the Manhattan Project, president of Harvard University and an advocate for arms control. The science and military events that shaped his life are familiar subjects for acclaimed author and journalist Jennet Conant, whose books 109 East Palace: Robert Oppenheimer and the Secret City of Los Alamos and Tuxedo Park: A Wall Street Tycoon and the Secret Palace of Science that Changed the Course of World War II offer in-depth histories of a cultural, political and scientific past that continue to shape Northern New Mexico’s present. In her latest work, Conant delves into a key figure in US history and in her own family: her grandfather.

SFR: When I interviewed you in 2005 about 109 East Palace, we talked about the idea that Los Alamos was ‘the chief morality tale of your childhood.’ Has that view evolved?

JC: I think this book was always looming ahead of me from the moment I became a writer; I just wasn’t at all ready to write it when I started. I picked Tuxedo Park—I think consciously and maybe a little unconsciously—and then it became clear to me that it was a very parallel tale: It was another … leader of a war time laboratory … another family that was torn apart by the war, another family that struggled with some of the same problems of depression that tore my family apart. … When I wrote 109 East Palace, I was tip-toeing toward it; my grandfather was a bigger character in that book. And then, when I came up to this one, my father

was dying and I was interviewing him a great deal and I realized I had to write this book.

TECH

Your grandfather was 25 years old when he helped oversee creating poison gas as part of World War I efforts. It wasn’t used, but what role do you think that played in his thinking about both chemical and atomic warfare?

Hugely, if you look at the young man he was, he was really a pacifist. He made himself extremely uncomfortable on Harvard’s campus by being opposed to the war. War fever grabbed the campus, [but he] did not want any part of that war and then he had no choice. He was on his way to enlist when he got snapped up by one of his chemistry professors who said, ‘You’d do more good using your brain.’ He didn’t want to do it; he called making poison gas beating the devil at his own game. When World War I ended, it was with enormous relief that he returned to academia.

Your grandfather faced criticism in 1933 for becoming president of Harvard, including from former Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, who blamed science for much of the world’s mess. Is it fair to say that skepticism about science and leadership trailed your grandfather’s career?

It definitely trailed for a long time at Harvard; a lot of people didn’t think he was the right man for the job and a lot of people at Harvard thought scientists were narrow, pedantic people buried in a microscope. … But in the end … he turned out be a very far-sighted leader … in his active role as an interventionist, and carrying the torch for [President Franklin D] Roosevelt as an interventionist. He also really had to battle very hard to open up Harvard: He wanted it to be a school of merit, and it was not when he took over.

How do you think your grandfather would respond to today’s climate, both on the nuclear side as well as public education, which he also made a focus in his life?

He would be so appalled we were back at a nuclear confrontation … but he would be at least as heartbroken by the state of our public schools: They were actually what he thought made us a great country. He spent the last 15 years of his life talking about how they were the engines of democracy, and unless … every citizen had a chance to advance, our democracy would erode from within. He saw that as much or more of a threat than fascism or totalitarianism—that without an educated citizenry, our democracy would begin to fail.

WEDNESDAY 29 NOVEMBER AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Valeria Luiselli was born in Mexico City in 1983 and has lived in Africa, Asia, Central America, and Europe. She now lives in New York City. Her works have been widely translated and include the novels Faces in the Crowd and The Story of My Teeth, as well as the essay collection Sidewalks, which begins and ends in a cemetery in Venice.

She wrote Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions after working as a volunteer interpreter for Central American immigrant children detained in the United States. In the book she writes, “Children leave their homes with a coyote. They cross Mexico in the hands of this coyote, riding La Bestia. They try not to fall into the hands of rapists, corrupt policemen, murderous soldiers, and drug gangs who might enslave them in poppy or marijuana fields, if they don’t shoot them in the head and mass-bury them.”

POP IT OFF Oh, we’ve mentioned Vanilla Pop to you before, partly because they turn the whole concept of cover band on its head with sexy, ’80s-pop versions of soul, funk and rock songs. But it’s also because we like them mustaches they wear. Honestly, we’ve never been to a Vanilla Pop event that didn’t get the majority of the room on their feet and dancing. It could be because people seem to love songs they already know, but it could also have something to do with the staggering level of musicianship required to practically rewrite hits from the last 40 years as a two-piece act that never takes itself too seriously but does know a thing or two about partying.

ART OPENING SAT/14 McCARTHYISM Artist JC McCarthy packs her work with textured detail and symbology so rich in vision that each is a fascinating microcosm worthy of prolonged viewing. How else would you appreciate everything that’s going on? And there is much going on. Almost aboriginal in content, the mixed-media works revel in dreamlike and representational imaginings of the intertwining of the natural and the spiritual, like metaphysical movements of color (or lack thereof) that tell a story so engaging, you’re practically falling into her large-scale pieces simply by observing them. Explore each at McCarthy’s upcoming solo show—some things you really just need to see for yourself. (ADV) JC McCarthy: Both And Or: 5 pm Saturday Oct. 14. Free.

DIRECTORIAL Is it a dream that Santa Fe has one space where one might see anything from simulcast opera in HD, community concerts, stand-up comics like Dave Chappelle, classical music, big-name bands and appearances from the likes of John Waters? The Lensic has always been a cultural spotlight of which our town should be proud, but under Executive Director Joel Aalberts’ vision, the future seems bright. Aalberts came to the position a little over a year ago after serving as the executive director for Eastern Kentucky University’s Center for the Arts, and we can’t wait to see what he has planned. Meet the guy and hear about his future plans as part of Journeysantafe’s ongoing lecture series. (ADV) Journeysantafe: Joel Aalberts: 11 am Sunday Oct. 15. Free. Collected Works Bookstore and Coffeehouse, 202 Galisteo St., 988-4226.

EVENT THU/12

Beneficial See Music, Help People Perhaps you’ve recently seen footage of our president chucking paper towels at the people of Puerto Rico and telling them how they knocked the US budget “a little out of whack” in the wake of Hurricane Maria and thought, “Wow, that’s not enough, even at all.” And you’d be right. Puerto Rico has been devastated, leaving countless Americans—yes, they’re Americans—without access to basic services, water, food or electricity.

But one of the very best things about people is that they’ll generally step up and help others when they can, and Santa Feans are no exception. “I’m Puerto Rican,” local artist and organizer of the upcoming Benefit for Puerto Rico event at Skylight, Celia Santos, says. “I have family on the island. It’s been rough.”

Santos has been in action for weeks now. “I held a weekend-long donation drop-off and shipped supplies to my family directly,” she says. “It didn’t feel like enough; being Puerto Rican means everyone on the island is my family.”

Santos put together the benefit in short order. “A friend put me in touch with

[Skylight co-owner] Kate Kennedy, and she was more than happy to offer Skylight for free—I just had to put out a call for music,” Santos says. “Only 24 hours after I reached out, all the time slots were filled by local musicians who were happy to help.”

Performances include tech-house from DJ Billiam, rock from JJ and the Hooligans, a reading from the inimitable Israel Francisco Haros Lopez and more. Local businesses like Second Street Brewery, Coyote Café and Cuba Fe stepped up as well to offer help in the form of gift certificates to be raffled off.

Proceeds will be donated to the Hurricane Maria Community Recovery Fund.

Santos is almost overwhelmed by the outpouring of love from the community.

“The level of support I have received is immeasurable,” she tells SFR. “I am so grateful.” (Alex De Vore) BENEFIT FOR PUERTO RICO 6 pm Thursday Oct. 12. $5; optional raffle tickets $5 each. Skylight, 139 W San Francisco St., 982-0775

THE PAST, PRESENT, & FUTURE OF THE ANTHROPOCENE

A panel conversation moderated by Manfred Laubichler

The Anthropocene, a (controversial) new epoch in earth history, reflects the unprecedented ways in which one species—Homo sapiens—has shaped our planet. This epoch is closely linked to the complex challenges of sustainability and the future fate of our species and planet. But what enabled our species to have such influence?

What is the future of humans in and post- Anthropocene? These are some of the questions that will be addressed by the panel, moderated by SFI external professor Manfred Laubichler and including SFI external professor Sander van der Leeuw, biotech investor DA Wallach, and SFI Distinguished Professor Geoffrey West.

Additional funding provided by the Miller Omega Program and the ASU-SFI Center for Biosocial Complex Systems.

Come Together The Gatas y Vatas festival heads to Santa Fe and you just gots to get onboard

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

W

e have to talk about Gatas y Vatas, the annual Albuquerque-based arts and music festival comprised of badasses who took a look around in 2010, realized straight white dudes dominate the music industry and festival world, and decided to do something about it with an intersectional event featuring women, genderqueer, trans and non-binary performers. “It’s really grown beyond me,” founder Marisa Demarco says. (She is also a journalist and has contributed to SFR.) “It’s much bigger than anything I can handle myself and … after the first one, we planted a flag and people really gravitated toward it.”

Traditionally, Gatas has been an ABQ-only affair, but with the rise of Eliza Lutz’ Matron Records and the accompanying DIY space Ghost, it heads to Santa Fe this week for the first time ever. “I think working with Eliza has been huge,” Demarco says. “Having that connection, having another person up there hustling so hard who maintains a lot of the same values as the festival, it’s huge.”

It is huge, especially since a connection between towns hasn’t always been easy.

“Something that comes up a lot is that there’s this weird artistic divide between Albuquerque and Santa Fe,” Gatas organizer and performer Cecilia McKinnon says.

“But I think the partnership with Matron is an amazing bridge.” The divide to which she refers is at best a minor annoyance,

Cecilia McKinnon, aka Star Canyon, brings the jams and the organizing skills.

and at worst a sometimes-ugly mishmash of preconceived notions and hearsay.

But why? The towns are a mere 60-ish miles apart and both can boast phenomenal arts and music. Though there has been much talk about unification over the years, Gatas y Vatas might be the first step in a good long while to making sustainable inroads. For McKinnon it’s surely about that, but also instrumental in her own artistic evolution. Her project, Star Canyon, brings textured fuzz and drone to the solo singer-songwriter milieu for a beautifully raw indie sound.

“As a woman playing music, having a community of other women who push you and challenge and teach you is something I can never take for granted, and … having this community to bounce ideas off of and watching women around me set the bar higher for themselves, I’ve developed a lot in my own music.” McKinnon, who is also a visual artist, recalls getting into DIY and punk scenes when she was younger and living in small-town Solvang, California.

“I spent a lot of my teenage years driving an hour or more to get to the only house

shows that existed within a hundred-mile radius of where I lived,” she says. “My teenage notion of what music and community looks like is—well, I mostly lived in show houses on and off for years.”

The house show and DIY ethos, when applied to a coming-together such as Gatas y Vatas, resides at the heart of the yearly event, and not just in a friendly band-exchange sort of way. Many scheduled performers will take the stage for the first time ever this year alongside longtime participants and, with the understanding that it’s a safe and supportive space, will push themselves to produce material and experiences they might otherwise have not. “When you experiment,” Demarco says, “there’s always that risk it might not work, and that’s OK.” For musician Lazarus Letcher, this rings especially true. A former classical musician, Letcher makes her Gatas debut this year, having come to the world of rock, punk and freak-folk only recently.

“I had a pretty tough breakup with classical music,” they say, only half-joking, “but I’ve been involved with the women and

MUSIC non-binary and trans art scene [in Albuquerque] for almost three years. I came out with my EP a little less than a year ago and have been pushing myself to perform more and harder.” Letcher still plays the viola with their classical know-how but has added guitar into the mix. Also a member of ABQ folk act Eileen & the In-Betweens, their solo style has erred more toward that genre, though with loops and effects layered within the songs for an experimental edge. After Letcher left music school, unsatisfied with the strict and methodical regimen, they lived on an artists’ commune in Ghana, West Africa. “It was the first time I made music without sheet music,” they tell SFR; “the first time I learned how notes resonated within my body.”

Of course, there is much more to enjoy from performers like Scissor Lift (Lutz’ new project), Oakland’s Danishta Rivero, Denver’s Midwife and many others.

Additionally, organizers are collecting coats for donation to the Navajo Nation and will waive the cover for those who bring items such as tents, tarps, kids’ clothes, batteries, first aid kits and the like for Ayoyotes on the Ground, an ABQ grassroots group that provides aid to postearthquake Mexico. All monetary proceeds go to paying performers both local and not (also toward making cool merch) and everyone involved with putting together Gatas y Vatas works on a volunteer basis.

“One of the things I’ve learned over time is that I care as much or more about the individuals as I do about the fest,” Demarco adds. “I didn’t set out to be an administrator, but in those moments when I’m feeling the weight of that bearing down on me, I just have to check out the music people submitted or play, check out the artwork, and I get excited all over again.”

emember when the internet rejoiced over US Rep. Maxine Waters’ repeated phrase, “Reclaiming my time”? Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was bumbling on with awkward platitudes, clearly trying not to answer a question about President Trump’s financial ties to Russia. It was then that Queen Maxine laid in. More recently, the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Carmen Yulín Cruz, fielded remarks from President Trump, who described her as “nasty” when she criticized his administration’s lack of response to the damage caused by Hurricane Maria. Cruz did not mince words when she then wore a shirt with the word “NASTY” emblazoned across it in an interview with Jorge Ramos.

This year brimmed with public instances where women had to hold their ground in the face of an interrupting male colleague or, in the case of Trump, a political leader resorting to using his favorite word (“nasty”) to describe a female. Most interactions in the category of toxic machismo, however, go under the radar, never seeing the light of public opinion. On the daily, though, we encounter men who don’t listen, offer unwarranted advice, treat us as inferior, objectify our bodies, ignore us in professional and personal settings, or write us off when we simply don’t conform. These kinds of behaviors—the ones that appear to be diffuse, but never cease to sting—are at the very core of how patriarchy exercises itself.

An important study, one of the first of its kind in New Mexico, is dedicated to tackling the question of gender equity, or at least pulling apart the threads that make the patriarchy the patriarchy. “Gender justice,” as NewMexicoWomen.Org defines it, is a “commitment and movement to end patriarchy and create a world free from misogyny.” The nonprofit’s approach, as outlined in its publication The Heart of Gender Justice in New Mexico: Intersectionality, Economic Security and Health Equity, “is rooted in intersectional feminism” and a twin recognition that oppression is always bound up with other forms of inequity, including “classism, racism, ableism, and other ‘isms.’”

NMW.O is a program of the New Mexico Community Foundation. In the summer of 2016, it kicked off a collaboration

NewMexicoWomen.Org forges path toward gender equity in the state

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

with a research team of multidisciplinary scholars and women of color at the University of New Mexico about how to most “effectively advance gender equity work in New Mexico.” As Fatima van Hattum, program manager of NMW.O, tells SFR, “No one body had been looking at gender statewide.” This seemed surprising, but less so when I found out that only 7

percent of philanthropic giving is dedicated to women and girls. Given this lack of policy focus, an important question arises: What kinds of conclusions might we come to when we get with our comadres to talk about everything from intergenerational trauma, sexism and racism to colonization and socioeconomic inequity?

NMW.O did just that, and brought together over 50 participants in seven community dialogues that took place across the state. Based on the resulting published study, which has a qualitative and quantitative component offered in both English and Spanish, it was clear that women and women-identifying individuals’ actual experiences speak volumes about how oppression shapes their everyday lives. The published research bears witness “to an old story that folks from those communities have long known.” Body-shaming, food deserts and histories of colonization that limited breastfeeding all came up.

Most refreshing about the study is the focus on social determinants; the various structures of power (think heteropatriarchy and capitalism) that shape our movements, interactions and, to a large degree, even our bodies. To build healthier communities means identifying those most impacted by social determinants, including “women of color, young women and girls, elders, LGBTQ-identifying people, immigrants, and rural and lowincome communities.” While this was only mentioned in the study, it bears repeating that men and boys are “also damaged by patriarchy.”

There was also an emphasis on community strengths rather than weaknesses, a framework much needed in New Mexico.

Still, there’s more work to do, as Van Hattum made clear. “A lot of voices were left out; for example, young black women who experienced disciplinary action in schools.” I’m particularly interested in how we begin to speak publicly about the very basis of gender binaries.

Yet, the goal is to keep building, and “to get more feedback and to hold up a mirror to the blind spots of the study,” van Hattum says. But with the conversation pried open on a local level, the possibilities are endless.

For now, professors at the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State University have brought the research into their classes in women’s studies and health policy and, according to Van Hattum, “programmatic folks are using the report in their foundations” as well. As we move forward, we can take to heart to words of organization board member Patricia Trujillo’s words: “I imagine a New Mexico where women take up more space—where women are professors, farmers, doctors, storytellers, policy makers, artists, leaders, and where we get paid equally for our work.”

concerns, feelings, etc., have to be taken into consideration. And if their rules make you feel disrespected, unvalued, or too low on the hierarchical poly totem pole, you should dump them.

I’m a 25-year-old woman currently in a poly relationship with a married man roughly 20 years my senior. This has by far been the best relationship I’ve ever had. However, something has me a bit on edge. We went on a trip with friends to a brewery with a great restaurant.

It was an amazing place, and I’m sure his wife would enjoy it. He mentioned the place to her, and her response was NO, she didn’t want to go there because she didn’t want to have “sloppy seconds.” It made me feel dirty. Additionally, the way he brushed this off means this isn’t the first time. I go out of my way to show him places I think they would like to go together. I don’t know if my feelings are just hurt—if it’s as childish as I think it is—or if it’s a reminder of my very low place in their hierarchy. I hesitate to bring this up, because when I have needs or concerns, they label me as difficult or needy. Is this part of a bigger trend I’m missing? Should I do anything to address this or just continue to stay out of their business and go where I wish with my partner?

-Treated With Outrage I’m having a hard time reconciling these two statements, TWO: “This has by far been the best relationship I’ve ever had” and “when I have needs or concerns, they label me as difficult or needy.” I suppose it’s possible all your past relationships have been so bad that your best-relationship-ever bar is set tragically low.

But taking a partner’s needs and concerns seriously is one of the hallmarks of a good relationship, to say nothing of a “best relationship ever.”

That said… I don’t know you or how you are.

It’s entirely possible that you share your needs and concerns in a way that comes across as—or actually is—needy and difficult. Our experience of interpersonal relationships, like our experience of anything and everything else, is subjective. One person’s reasonable expression of needs/concerns is another person’s emotionally manipulative drama. I would need to depose your boyfriend and his wife, TWO, to make a determination and issue a ruling.

That said… It’s a really bad sign that your boyfriend’s wife compared eating in a restaurant you visited with him to fucking a hole that someone else just fucked, i.e., “sloppy seconds.”

It has me wondering whether your boyfriend’s wife is really into the poly thing. Some people are poly under duress (PUD), i.e., they agreed to open up a marriage or relationship not because it’s what they want, but because they were given an ultimatum: We’re open/ poly or we’re over. In a PUD best-case scenario, the PUD partner sees that their fears were overblown, discovers that poly/open works for them, embraces openness/polyamory, and is no longer a PUD. But PUDs who don’t come around (or haven’t come around yet) will engage in small acts of sabotage to signal their unhappiness—their perfectly understandable unhappiness. They didn’t want to be open/poly in the first place and are determined to prove that open/poly was a mistake and/or punish their ultimatum-issuing partner. The most common form of PUD sabotage? Making their primary partner’s secondary partner(s) feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.

That said… As you (probably) know (but if you don’t, you’re about to find out), poly relationships have all kinds of (sometimes incredibly arbitrary but also incredibly important) rules. If one of their rules is “My wife doesn’t want to hear from or about my girlfriend,” TWO, then your restaurant recommendations are going to fall flat. Being poly means navigating rules (and sometimes asking to renegotiate those rules) and juggling multiple people’s feelings, needs, and concerns. You have to show respect for their rules, TWO, as they are each other’s primary partners. But your boyfriend and his wife have to show respect for you, too.

Secondary though you may be, your needs,

My wife said she didn’t care who I slept with soon after we met. At the time, I didn’t want to sleep with anyone else. But we eventually became monogamish—it started as me texting her a fantasy while I was at work, and that fantasy was waiting for me when I got home—it was fun, but it wasn’t something I needed. After a couple years of playing together with others in private and in clubs, she said she wanted to open our relationship. I got a girlfriend, had fun until the new relationship energy (NRE) wore off, and ended things. Then my wife got a great job on the other side of the state and I stayed behind to get our house into a sellable state.

Right now, we see each other only on weekends.

I also got a new girlfriend. The NRE wore off, but we still really like each other, and we’ve discussed being long-distance secondaries once the move is complete. Here’s the problem: Last night, my wife confessed to me that being in an open relationship was making her miserable.

Not just my current girlfriend, whose monopoly over my time during the week could be a legitimate cause for concern, but going back to the previous girlfriend I saw only one night a week. I told my wife that I would break up with my girlfriend immediately. My wife is the most important person in my life, and I don’t want to do anything to hurt her. But my wife told me not to break up with my girlfriend. I don’t want to string my girlfriend along and tell her everything is fine—but my wife, who doesn’t want to be poly anymore, is telling me not to break up with my girlfriend. What do I do?

-Dude Isn’t Content Knowing Priority Is Crushingly Sad Your wife may want you to dump your girlfriend without having to feel responsible for your girlfriend’s broken heart, DICKPICS, so she tells you she’s miserable and doesn’t want to be poly anymore, and then tells you not to end things.

Or maybe this is a test: Dumping a girlfriend you didn’t have to dump would signal to your wife that she is, indeed, the most important person in your life and that you will prioritize her happiness even when she won’t. Or maybe she’s watched you acquire two girlfriends without landing a boyfriend of her own.

But there’s a middle ground between dumped and not dumped, DICKPICS: Tell your girlfriend what’s going on—she has a right to know—and put the relationship on hold. Get the house sold, get your ass to your wife, and keep talking until you figure out what is going to work for your wife going forward: completely closed, open but only to sexual adventures you two go on together, i.e., “playing together with others in private and in clubs,” or open with GFs (and BFs) allowed. Good luck.

I don’t know if I’m poly or not. I mean, Jesus H. Christ, this has been so difficult. How do I know when to go back to monogamy?

-Pretty Over Lusty Yearnings I don’t think you’re poly, POLY, because I don’t think anyone is poly. I also don’t think anyone is monogamous. Polyamory and monogamy aren’t sexual orientations, IMO, they’re relationship models. And if the polyamorous model is making you miserable, POLY, it might not be right for you. But you should ask yourself whether polyamory is making you miserable or if the people you are doing polyamory with are making you miserable. People in awful monogamous relationships rarely blame monogamy for their woes—even when monogamy is a factor—but the stigma against nontraditional relationship models, to say nothing of sex-negativity, often lead people to blame polyamory for their misery when the actual cause isn’t the model, POLY, it’s the people.

What was the process of putting together The Last Shepherds?

I had been searching far and wide for subjects for a film about traditional agriculture. At the Santa Fe Farmers Market I met Antonio and Molly, and asked if I could film their cycle of sheep ranching for a year, with the end product being a film that would preserve and celebrate their disappearing way of life. They agreed, and filled me in on the important times of year to film, starting with breeding in December, winter feeding in February, shearing in April, lambing in May, trailing the sheep up to the high country in June, summer in the sierra, and then trailing the sheep back to Los Ojos in October. The first shoot was in August of 2015, as Antonio visited his sheepherder Mingo and the flock up in the sierra above Canjilon. The last shoot was an interview in September of 2016.

What does being an ‘outsider’ mean, and how do you think about the ethics of being a filmmaker?

Anyone making a film about people they don’t know is to some degree an outsider, and so the first and most important step for any documentarian is to establish and maintain trust. Secondly, it’s important to me that the film benefit the film subjects, and that they be open to sharing their knowledge. Thirdly, I want my film subjects to be happy with the final product. The cultural masters I film speak for themselves.

I do not narrate or editorialize and I do not take the stance of investigative journalism where the subject has no say in how they are portrayed.

Where did the idea for The Wisdom Archive come from, and where do you foresee the project in the future?

I have felt for a long time that the loss of cultural diversity is at least as great a tragedy as the loss of biodiversity. Modern science has created seed banks and gene banks to conserve some of this disappearing diversity from the physical world, and we needed something similar to preserve and celebrate cultural diversity. With the advent of YouTube, a universally accessible ‘video seed bank’ for disappearing culture, or Wisdom Archive, became possible. The eight films now viewable on our website are just an example—a sprouting seed of what is possible.

The Craft Santa Fe cobbler makes beautiful bespoke shoes 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

F

or much of human history, getting a new dress or pair of shoes wasn’t a wham-bam affair. You had to visit a seamstress or cobbler and have these items tailor-made to you. Artisans who were masters of their respective crafts created bespoke blouses and jackets, hats and heels on the daily.

Seeing a milliner or cobbler in action in 2017 is a bit like stepping into a time machine and visiting that past world.

These craftspeople take on roles that sit somewhere between artist and historian, reviving lost techniques and skills. Jessica Brommer is one such artisan-creator.

The Santa Fe-born cobbler makes shoes, sandals, boots and other footwear under the title Hope and Industry Handmade at her studio in the Siler Road area, but before she was into shoes, Brommer was a painter and sculptor. “I have always made stuff,” she says. “Always, always, always.”

In the late ’80s, Brommer’s shoe fetish was sparked by cobbler Sara McIntosh’s shop on Old Santa Fe Trail, Sara’s Shoes.

“I was always like, ‘I want to apprentice with her,’ but I was too chicken and I never approached her,” Brommer says.

“And at that point I was really getting into painting.” She painted and sculpted for roughly 20 years, showing her work at Turner Carroll Gallery on Canyon Road and with local gallerist Linda Durham.

But Brommer had a change of heart. “I sort of lost interest in the impractical nature of making art,” she says. So, she asked herself: “I don’t think I really want to be a painter—what am I going to do?”

Living in New York City at the time, Brommer attended shoemaking classes at the Fashion Institute of Technol-

Made with handdyed leather, great attention to detail and a lot of love.

ogy. “The second day of the first class that I ever took, I was like, ‘Oh my god. This is it. This is totally it,’” she says.

“It’s challenging, it’s precise, it’s practical. … It fulfills a lot of the same—I don’t know—need that making paintings did.”

After taking classes, Brommer relocated to Asheville, North Carolina, and solidified her own shoe company under the title of Stalworth Shoes and Boots in 2012. The company became Hope and Industry Handmade in April 2016 when Brommer moved back to Santa Fe and opened her shop off Trades West Road.

Early on an October weekday morning, I meet Brommer in her studio. The industrial doors are wide open, autumn light pouring in, bathing everything in a marigold aura. It smells of leather, which she says she doesn’t notice anymore, and I think: Damn, that sucks, because it smells natural and really good in here. The shelves are filled with lasts (wooden forms that serve as the foundation in building a pair of shoes), rolls

of blush and sand-colored leather and half-finished footwear forms. Vintage Singer sewing machines and samples of her designs cover large tables.

Wood-bottom heels ($185), mary janes ($425-$450) and oxfords ($475$550) are some of the styles you’ll find at Hope and Industry Handmade. Each pair—which take around 10 hours to make—has classic lines and inspirations with current twists making them so cute

and reliable, they’re the kind of pair you wear for life.

When Brommer started cobbling, she imposed a single self-restriction: She would only make men’s shoes. Today, while she does make women’s styles, many of her designs are still inspired by menswear. “When I was in high school, I would go to St. Vincent de Paul [thrift store] and find these really great men’s shoes,” she says, “and stuff the toes with tissue and wear them.” Many of her designs are recreations of those thrifted pairs.

This gal’s cobbling skills don’t stop with her own designs—she does custom pairs too. “There’s a lot of cool problem-solving aspects to it,” she says, recalling a recent client who wanted to recreate a pair of English-made kangaroo leather boots he’d owned in the ’70s when he was a hippie living in Las Vegas, New Mexico. “This guy is now in his late 60s and he’s in the Legislature, and he’s been wearing these boots to his job for 40 years,” she says. “They’re completely falling apart right now. It was super-cool, because they were gorgeous boots.”

The reincarnation required special work. “These boots were made on a really old-fashioned style of last,” Brommer tells SFR. “So, I had to rebuild the last to make the boot on.” The work paid off, and Brommer smiles widely as she describes a text from the client who, when he saw his reborn kangaroo babies, said, “They’re perfect.” She’s also up-cycled sentimental items, like a Louis Vuitton diaper bag that was transformed into ballet slippers.

If shoemaking sounds like a ton of fun to you, you can learn to do it yourself in one of Brommer’s classes. She offers a variety of choices, and you can find them along with her designs on her website (hopeandindustry.com).

One option is a weekendlong sandal workshop, in which you make your own custom pair during the course. “Choose your own strap color. Choose your heel height,” says Brommer. “People can come in and be really creative.” All Hope and Industry Handmade shoes are made sans synthetic materials and with leather that Brommer hand-dyes herself.

You can visit by appointment (through the website), and you should—there’s an undeniable element of antiquity to her shop, and you get a sense of how truly handmade these products are.

Rebranded Georgia goes back to refined cuisine 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

I

t’s a Tuesday night in late September; by all logic, it’s about the worst time to open a new restaurant in Santa Fe. But new kid on the block Maize (225 Johnson St., 780-5125) is buzzing with energy, with the dining room almost at capacity and the bar equally as popular. The warm golden walls, dramatic driftwood-esque accent pieces and Native American-inspired art are a drastic departure from Georgia, which inhabited the space up until just a few weeks prior.

When Georgia rebranded as a gastropub in 2016, foodies around Santa Fe mourned. After all, the draw of the 2015 SFR Restaurant of the Year was the casual elegance and date night-appropriate food. And anyway, if you throw a Brussels sprout in Santa Fe, you’re likely to hit a gastropub.

Enter Maize, which aims to take up the fine dining mantle, albeit in a different tradition.

Open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday, at the helm is Charles Dale, whose 35 years of restaurant experience culminated with City Different standard Bouche. Fans of the French bistro will be relieved to know that he’s still actively involved with his pet project as chef; it’s simply become part of the quickly

Maize

growing New Mexico Fine Dining group, of which Maize is also a member. Dale, who serves as New Mexico Fine Dining’s director, also works as a consultant for Maize.

The revamped menu is a fascinating study of the cuisine of the Southwest, specifically Northern New Mexico, and was created by Dale, executive chef Leroy Alvarado and New Mexico Fine Dining culinary director Andrew MacLauchlan. The name itself honors the area’s heritage; corn is the staple crop of Native Americans, which Dale says is sacred and life-giving. “We wanted to take the ingredients of the area and filter them through a modern lens,” he says.

A prime example of this vision is the elk tenderloin carpaccio ($16). Elk has long been part of the Northern New Mexican diet, but never quite like this. The raw meat is delicate and flavorful, contrasting impeccably with the spice of its accompanying frisée greens and fried capers.

Dale also cites the influence of the various traditions that have called the region home—Native American, Spanish, French— and their trade routes. That’s how the restaurant is able to incorporate fish and other seafood items into its menu, much to the diner’s good fortune.

I reaped the benefits of seafood inclusion with the blue corn blinis ($16), which come topped with smoked trout, caviar and creme fraiche and alongside a salad of arugla, baby cilantro and jalapeño. The smoke of the trout, savory of the caviar and bitterness of the salad bring out a subtle complexity in the blue corn,

melding together to create something entirely new and poignantly Santa Fe. The attention to culinary history extends to more classic offerings as well.

The rack of lamb chops ($42) will make any carnivore’s mouth water—crisp on the outside, tender and juicy in the middle. It doesn’t hurt that the meat is served atop a generous helping of soft grits and mouth-watering wilted greens and completed with a garlicy balsamic reduction.

The dessert menu reads like a sweet New Mexican dream: The dreamcatcher ($10) includes piñon meringue, and the tres leches cheesecake ($9) is topped with crema de mezcal. I opted for the

lavender flan ($8), which has a faint but full flavor of the purple herb. The restaurant’s namesake makes a guest appearance in the form of a caramel corn topping, which adds some needed crunch to the smooth, creamy, caramelly goodness of the flan.

Prices of entrees aren’t the most budget-friendly, but between the shared plates and starters menus, it’s easy to curb your spending as well as your appetite. The extensive wine list comes mostly by the bottle, although it does include a few offerings by the glass, and the Abiquiu rose ($14), the highlight of Georgia’s cocktail menu, is still available.

The Cage Fighter 8

BEST MOVIE EVER

+ RIVETING AND EMOTIONAL - PAYOFF FEELS KIND OF UNSATISFYING

Echoes of Darren Aronofsky’s 2008 Mickey Rourke-led drama The Wrestler creep out from the shadows in the surprisingly emotional documentary The Cage Fighter from director Jeff Unay. Previously a visual effects artist for films like Avatar, Unay enters the documentary arena with the tale of Joe Carman, an aging family man who continues cage fighting well past his prime and despite promises to the contrary made to his wife and children. By day Carman works for the Seattle ferry system; by night he sneaks off to amateur ultimate fighting matches— hardly a crafty plan when he returns home with eyes swollen shut, broken fingers and the like.

Carman cuts a sympathetic figure, at once in love with family life but unable to let go of his past, even as he risks losing his wife and kids.

It’s hard not to sympathize as he implores them to understand fighting is the only place he feels like himself.

They try; they can’t.

Unay forgoes traditional narration in favor of silent observation with full access to Carman’s family and gritty portrayals of real-life matches and their aftermath. Car-

Joe Carman can’t leave ultimate fighting behind, even as he loses his family.

man, meanwhile, tries to define a fighter’s mentality alongside his trainer and fellow fighters even as he contends with head injuries, the ever-present feel of emptiness and his unraveling family; his wife is ill with some unnamed disease, his kids are already aware he can’t be relied upon.

On the one hand, it’s easy to want Carman to do what he says he will. On the other, who hasn’t felt the cold sting of regret and lost dreams? It’s possible he’s really just trying to minimize these things, though he does rack up a whole lot more along the way.

+ NATHAN KEYES SPOUTS PORCELAIN - SLOW PACE, UNLIKABLE SYMBOLISM AND TRIVIA

CHARACTERS

Maya Dardel says lots of things about herself that explain why she’s contemplating suicide. What she sees in the mirror and what she sees in the future make her want to cut out early—like Neil Young’s lyrics, better to burn out than to fade away. She says she’s “a good piece of fruit too long in the fridge,” and in her world, “the light’s gone out.”

By the time the audience joins the successful author, she’s already so numbly embedded in the idea of death as to render herself unlikeable in almost every way. Something about Maya recalls Gloria Steinem, but it’s only in physicality, in age proximity, in long golden brown locks surrounding an angular face that just as well could (should?) be framed in ivory. Real-life Gloria is marching through her eighth decade with her bony hand famously clutching the torch of feminism, and we love her for it. Make-believe Maya has publicly declared she’ll end her own life so that she doesn’t publish mediocre books. There’s little here to love.

She’s looking for someone to take over her estate after she does the do, and the executor has to be a young male writer, she tells an NPR interviewer in the first scene of the movie. After that, get ready to squirm. Maya is melancholy and manipulative, and she takes the role of cougar to an absurd, exploitive level. Lena Olin (Chocolat, Remember Me) plays this well, maximizing her gravelly and almost monotone voice. Rosanna Arquette’s short interludes as nutty neighbor Leonora are a pleasant reprieve from the main character.

The other person who makes the story watchable is Ansel, by Nathan Keyes (perhaps most notable as Justin Timberlake in made-for-TV movie Britney Ever After). One in the line of prospective pseudosuitors, his introspection opens the door to empathy. Even with his presence, we don’t love Maya, but we feel something. Does she?

+ VIVID LEAD, HAUNTING STORY - OTHER CHARACTERS WERE LACKING

European supremacy and race science have affected Indigenous people everywhere, and the trauma sowed across the world continues today. Sami Blood revolves around the life of Elle Marja (Lene Cecilia Sparrok), a Sami girl wise beyond her years who gets snatched by Swedish bureaucrats alongside other tribal youth in the 1930s and enrolled in a boarding school so they can learn the the allegedly “civilized” ways of the West. No yoiking allowed in these classrooms; the children learn under threat of whip the basics of polite Swedish society. Their bleachedblonde teacher viciously deflates Elle Marja’s dreams of attending a “normal” school, and our young protagonist takes her mentor’s racism to heart. It’s heartbreaking to watch the self-loathing hatch within her, especially because you wonder what would happen if she blasted all that passion and vitriol outward toward her oppressors. Sadly, she does direct her hatred toward her family, leading to a lifetime of bitterness and resentment that the audience can infer from the lessons she learns early on. This dramatic story happened in forced-assimilation camps and schools across the world, and although the film takes place in a particular Nordic context, the pain of colonizer-induced alienation animating her comingof-age also animates our globalized culture today. It finishes on an ambiguous and unsettled note, and you’re left wondering whether we can’t hope for a better resolution than the one Elle Marja attempts to grasp at the end. (Aaron Cantú)

+ QUIETLY INSISTS WE HEED OUR BELIEFS - A SLOW START

There is something special about belief.

Its affirmations and doubts, the lives it compels us to lead, the journeys it requires us to make and the truths it reveals to us. Life-defining belief is at the core of Moon Chang-Yong and Jeon Jin’s documentary, Becoming Who I Was. Angdu Padma is a Rinpoche—a reincarnated Buddhist master— whom we meet as a boy growing up in the Ladakh region of northern India. He lives his life among spare, rocky vistas and in the steadfast love and care of “Uncle” Rigzin Urgain, a lama and teacher who has given up his life as a traditional doctor to raise Angdu.

Their relationship is the heartbeat of the film and a portrait in certainty and self-sacrifice. Rigzin is constantly tending to Angdu’s needs, patiently teaching and reteaching subtle lessons and quietly demonstrating a faithful life.

Almost instantly, we find ourselves wondering if Angdu can truly be the reincarnated soul of a Buddhist master who first lived centuries ago. Are there pearls of wisdom that would otherwise be impossible for a 9-year-old boy to

know? A depth of soul that somehow reveals generational anachrony? A preternatural kindness?

As the audience, we’re not the only ones with doubts. Rinpoche’s monastery expels him early on in the film after years spent waiting for his followers to return and take him to Chinese-held Tibet. It’s the place he says he remembers and where his disciples are, but without Rigzin and a few friends from school, he’s more or less alone. His mother has given him over—lovingly—to Rigzin’s care, but we become very much alone with Angdu as he wonders if he’s truly a reincarnate or just a normal kid.

The film is at its best with glimpses of the reality of Angdu’s life: when we see that he’s a kid, when we catch an outburst that Rigzin gently corrects, when we watch the unlikely best friends gleefully fall into a snowball fight.

Moon and Jeon ask us to take a journey, and while it starts off slowly, it evolves into a beautiful meditation on belief, faith, love and perseverance.

(Matt Grubs)

+ CAPTURES EVANS’ COMPLICATION BEAUTIFULLY - FEELS A LITTLE RUSHED IN SPOTS; COUPLE ROUGH TRANSITIONS

If you thought about how a film documenting the life of author Max Evans might feel, you’d drift to relentless wind, a little danger, baritones and two black eyes that might make you reconsider watching. That’s pretty much what Lorene Mills, David Leach and Paul Barnes managed in their onscreen look at how a kid from Ropes (yes, Ropes), Texas, became one of New Mexico’s most celebrated writers and mythical characters.

No amount of time would be enough, but in 79 minutes, the filmmakers make a case for most, if not all, of Evans’ many lives: calf roper, miner, childhood criminal, gold smuggler, barroom brawler, tortured typewriter maniac and mentor. Peter Coyote narrates, so the film feels familiar and warm, but the edges aren’t quite round.

For New Mexicans, it’ll look familiar, too—especially the half-focused detail shots capturing rural Taos wind or the long panos of Northern New Mexico’s mountains.

ALL FILMS REVIEWED HEREIN COME FROM THE LINEUP OF THE SANTA FE INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL. FOR MORE INFORMATION, SEE THIS WEEK’S COVER STORY ON PAGE 12.

At bottom, Evans is a mystic, and that’s what the film manages to draw out best. Sam Elliott reads perfectly chosen selections from some of Evans’ bestknown works—The Hi Lo Country, The Rounders and others—imbuing the film with Evans’ spare, clear voice. But there’s an animated sequence from Bluefeather Fellini, Evans’ magnum opus, in which the main character slips peyote to his captors to escape a jam that marks the high point. And why not? Evans, now 92, reveals his own peyote-infused journey that inspired the scene.

The filmmakers picked just the right cast of characters for interviews, including Ollie Reed, a longtime New Mexico journalist who, unsurprisingly, has shared some misadventures with Evans. One knock: Evans has lived such a vast collection of discrete lives that melting it all together with no snags in the seams would be impossible. There are some bumps in transitions, but in the main, this is a delightful viewing experience for fans of great lives and literature born from New Mexico. (Jeff Proctor)

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny

Week of October 11th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In his book The Logic of Failure, Dietrich Dorner discusses the visionaries who built the Aswan Dam in Egypt. Their efforts brought an abundance of cheap electricity to millions of people. But the planners didn’t take into account some of the important effects of their innovation. For example, the Nile River below the dam no longer flooded its banks or fertilized the surrounding land every year. As a result, farmers had to resort to chemical fertilizers at great expense. Water pollution increased. Marine life suffered because of the river’s diminished nutrients. I hope this thought will motivate you to carefully think through the possible consequences of decisions you’re contemplating. I guarantee that you can avoid the logic of failure and instead implement the logic of success. But to do so, you’ll have to temporarily resist the momentum that has been carrying you along. You’ll have to override the impatient longing for resolution.

you dare let your attention get consumed by the dreamy distractions of faraway places and times. For the foreseeable future, the best use of your energy is HERE and NOW.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are you primed to seek out new colleagues and strengthen your existing alliances?

Are you curious about what it would take to infuse your best partnerships with maximum emotional intelligence?

From an astrological perspective, the next nine weeks will be a favorable time to do these things. You will have opportunities to deepen your engagement with collaborators who cultivate integrity and communicate effectively.

It’s possible you may feel shy about pursuing at least one of the potential new connections. But I urge you to press ahead anyway. Though you may be less ripe than they are, their influence will have a catalytic effect on you, sparking you to develop at an accelerated rate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I am more interested in human beings than in writing,” said author Anais Nin, “more interested in lovemaking than in writing, more interested in living than in writing. More interested in becoming a work of art than in creating one.” I invite you to adopt that perspective as your own for the next twelve months, Libra. During this upcoming chapter of your story, you can generate long-lasting upgrades if you regard your life as a gorgeous masterpiece worthy of your highest craftsmanship.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio actress Tara Reid told the magazine Us Weekly about how her cosmetic surgeries had made her look worse than she had been in her natural state. “I’ll never be perfect again,” she mourned. I bring this up in the hope that it will inspire you. In my astrological opinion, you’re at a tuning point when it’s crucial to appreciate and foster everything about yourself that’s natural and innate and soulfully authentic. Don’t fall sway to artificial notions about how you could be more perfect than you already are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I didn’t go to work today. I woke up late, lingered over a leisurely breakfast, and enjoyed a long walk in the autumn woods.

When I found a spot that filled me with a wild sense of peace, I asked my gut wisdom what I should advise you Sagittarians to attend to. And my gut wisdom told me that you should temporarily escape at least one of your GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I was satisfied with haiku duties for at least three days. (Escaping two duties for until I met you,” Dean Young tells a new lover in his poem four days would be even better.) My gut wisdom also “Changing Genres.” But Young goes on to say that he’s no suggested that you get extra sleep, enjoy leisurely longer content with that terse genre. “Now I want a meals, and go on long walks to spots that fill you with a wild sense of peace. There you should consult your Russian novel,” he proclaims, “a 50-page description of gut wisdom about your top dilemmas. you sleeping, another 75 of what you think staring out a window.” He yearns for a story line about “a fallen nest, CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A snail climbed to the top speckled eggs somehow uncrushed, the sled outracing of a big turtle’s shell as it was sleeping under a bush. the wolves on the steppes, the huge glittering ball where When the turtle awoke and began to lumber away in all that matters is a kiss at the end of a dark hall.” I bring search of food, the snail was at first alarmed but eventualYoung’s meditations to your attention, Gemini, because I ly thrilled by how fast they were going and how far they suspect that you, too, are primed to move into a more were able to travel. “Wheeee!”, the snail thought to itself. I expansive genre with a more sumptuous plot. suspect, Capricorn, that this little tale is a useful metaphor CANCER (June 21-July 22): Statistical evidence suggests that Fridays falling on the 13th of the month are safer than other Fridays. The numbers of fires and traffic accidents are lower then, for example. I find this interesting in light of your current situation. According to my analysis, this October’s Friday the 13th marks a turning point in your ongoing efforts to cultivate stability and security. On this day, as well as the seven days before and seven days after, you should receive especially helpful clues about the future work you can do to feel even safer and more protected than you already do.

for what you can look forward to in the coming weeks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Too much propaganda and not enough real information are circulating through your personal sphere. You’re tempted to traffic in stories that are rooted more in fear than insight. Gossip and hype and delusion are crowding out useful facts. No wonder it’s a challenge for you to sort out the truths from the half-truths! But I predict that you will thrive anyway.

You’ll discover helpful clues lodged in the barrage of bunkum. You’ll pluck pithy revelations from amidst the distracting ramblings. Somehow you will manage to be both extra sensitive and super-discriminating.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): J. Allan Hobson is a scientist of sleep who does research at Harvard. He says we dream all the time, not just at night. Our subconscious minds never stop churning out streams of images.

During the waking hours, though, our conscious minds operate at such intensity that the lower-level flow mostly stays subliminal. At least that’s the normal state of affairs. But I suspect your dream-generator is running so hot right now that its stories may leak into your waking awareness. This could be disconcerting. Without the tips I’m giving you here, you might worry you were going daft. Now that you know, I hope you’ll tap into the undercurrent to glean some useful intuitions. A word to the wise: The information that pops up won’t be logical or rational. It will be lyrical and symbolic, like dreams.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “If these years have taught me anything, it is this,” wrote novelist Junot Díaz.

“You can never run away. Not ever. The only way out is in.” That’s your plucky wisdom for the coming weeks, Aquarius. You have arrived at a pivotal phase in your life cycle when you can’t achieve liberation by fleeing, avoiding, or ignoring. To commune with the only kind of freedom that matters, you must head directly into the heart of the commotion. You’ve got to feel all the feelings stirred up by the truths that rile you up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A journalist named Jenkin Lloyd Jones coined the term “Afghanistanism,” which he defined as “concentrating on problems in distant parts of the world while ignoring controversial local issues.” I want to urge you Virgos to avoid engaging in a personal version Homework: How could you change yourself in order to of Afghanistanism.
